Open up and break into another world

As Gu Kongshan and the others were about to finish the ten thousand steps, a team of five hundred people appeared in their sight.

This team consisted of exactly five hundred people, all experts in the Core Formation stage, with none below that level. The leader walking at the forefront was none other than Ao Xiang, the Sect Master of the Hidden Kill Sect.

"They're here!" Gu Kongshan's eyes narrowed slightly.

The Hidden Kill Sect had inevitably come to kill them.

Gu Kongshan had also heard that not long ago, Xu Ming had infiltrated the Hidden Kill Sect and emptied their treasure vault. It was because of this that the Hidden Kill Sect was completely enraged, leading them to come seeking revenge so quickly.

"I wonder when Xu Ming will return..."

Before long, the army of Core Formation stage cultivators from the Hidden Kill Sect arrived at the bottom of the ten thousand steps.

"Gu Kongshan!" Ao Xiang stared directly at Gu Kongshan across the Sect Protecting Formation. "Is this how your Barbaric Sect treats its guests?"

Guests?

Gu Kongshan smiled and said, "Doesn't Sect Master Ao's group of guests seem a bit too aggressive?"

"Aggressive? What do you mean? I don't understand," Ao Xiang said coldly. "I've come this time to formally propose marriage for my son! Because I was worried it wouldn't be grand enough, I brought almost all the elders and higher-ups from the entire Hidden Kill Sect, so as not to be impolite."

"Heh!" Gu Kongshan smiled noncommittally. "Then your politeness is certainly quite thorough!"

"What's wrong, Kongshan? Aren't you going to open the formation and let us in?"

Ao Xiang's words were high-sounding, and Gu Kongshan didn't want to immediately break ties, so he deactivated the entire Sect Protecting Formation of the Barbaric Sect.

"Please!" Gu Kongshan led the way.

"Hmph!" Ao Xiang sneered inwardly—*You're wise to know that a mere Sect Protecting Formation can't stop the army of our Hidden Kill Sect!*

Of course, Gu Kongshan knew what Ao Xiang was sneering at.

However, Gu Kongshan was also sneering in his heart—*Foolish Ao Xiang, do you think that entering the gates of the Barbaric Sect means you control everything? In fact, from the moment you stepped onto the ten thousand steps, your life and death have already been decided by me!*

The Barbaric Sect had a great secret; Gu Kongshan also had a great trump card.

It was just that trump cards were the foundation of the Barbaric Sect's inheritance, and it was best not to expose them if possible, especially when only dealing with the Hidden Kill Sect!

"But if the Hidden Kill Sect really pushes things too far and seeks death, then I'll have to grant their wish!"

Gu Kongshan led the Hidden Kill Sect's army through the ten thousand steps and arrived in front of the Barbaric Hall.

At this time, the Barbaric Sect's cultivators, from elders to outer sect disciples, were all gathered in front of the Barbaric Hall.

"This... This... What is the Hidden Kill Sect trying to do?" When the elders of the Barbaric Sect saw the mighty army of five hundred Core Formation stage cultivators from the Hidden Kill Sect, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Even a fool could see that they didn't come with good intentions!

The nearly five hundred Hidden Kill Sect experts left outside looked at the Barbaric Sect's elders with arrogance and provocation; some even deliberately said loudly, "A bunch of trash!"

Although the Barbaric Sect's elders were angry, the one-to-five numerical disparity forced them to endure their anger for the time being.

"I wonder how the negotiations will go for the Sect Master and the others?" The Gu faction elders were all worried.

Among the Liang faction elders, some had a faint look of anticipation deep in their eyes.

...

Inside the Barbaric Hall, the nine top figures from the Barbaric Sect and the Hidden Kill Sect sat down as host and guests.

Ao Xiang naturally sat at the head of the guest side. As soon as he sat down, he said, "Kongshan, your Barbaric Sect's disciples are truly capable!"

Gu Kongshan's expression didn't change. "Is Sect Master Ao talking about Xu Ming?—This child is indeed unruly. I heard that he caused quite a bit of trouble for your sect?"

Ao Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "My Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault was completely emptied by him!"

"I've heard about it!" Gu Kongshan still didn't change his expression, acting as if it were none of his business. "I heard that this matter has already spread widely throughout the Lanting Mountain Manor area?"

A dignified top-tier Yellow-rank force had its treasure vault emptied by a mere brat.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news spreads a thousand miles. Such a big scandal, of course, quickly spread throughout the entire Lanting Mountain Manor area. The Hidden Kill Sect had also become a laughing stock for all the forces in Lanting Mountain Manor and its jurisdiction.

"Kongshan, this is a disciple taught by your Barbaric Sect. You must take responsibility!" Ao Xiang looked at him coldly.

Gu Kongshan prevaricated, "This child is unruly. I don't even know where he is. Otherwise, I would definitely capture him and send him to Sect Master Ao! If Sect Master Ao finds his whereabouts, you are welcome to capture and deal with him as you see fit..."

Gu Kongshan's words seemed to sell out Xu Ming, but in fact, the meaning of this sentence was—*Ao Xiang, if you have the ability, go catch him yourself. If you don't have the ability, stop talking nonsense here.*

The two sides continued to prevaricate with each other.

However, Ao Xiang's skill in prevarication was ultimately inferior to Gu Kongshan's; after prevaricating for a long time, he didn't get any results.

In the end, he had to change the subject: "Let's put this matter aside for now and talk about serious business next!—Kongshan, the marriage between my son Ao Tian and your daughter Gu Hanmo should also have a good date set..."

"Marriage?" A cold light flashed in Gu Kongshan's eyes, but he forcibly suppressed it in an instant.

...

At this time, in front of the Barbaric Hall, Ao Tian's gaze was greedily and unscrupulously sizing up Gu Hanmo.

The more he looked, the more his heart stirred.

The more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Everyone was gathered here, and Gu Hanmo had nowhere to hide. If she left without permission, it would be even more dangerous.

"Gu Hanmo, you can't escape my grasp!" Ao Tian smiled sinisterly through voice transmission. "Watch, today, there are only two possibilities!—First, your father Gu Kongshan honestly agrees to our marriage; second, our Hidden Kill Sect will bloodbath the Barbaric Sect, and I will forcibly take you away!"

"Hmph!"

Gu Hanmo snorted softly and turned her gaze away, ignoring him.

"Xu Ming, where are you..." Gu Hanmo felt a little aggrieved. At this moment, she really needed Xu Ming by her side.

But at the same time, Gu Hanmo also didn't want Xu Ming to appear—Xu Ming had emptied the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault, and if he appeared here now, it would definitely be very dangerous!

"Gu Hanmo!" Seeing that Gu Hanmo was ignoring his voice transmission, Ao Tian actually shouted directly.

At the same time, Ao Tian also walked directly out of the Hidden Kill Sect's formation and walked straight towards Gu Hanmo.

"What are you doing?" Gu Hanmo couldn't help but change her expression.

"Me?" Ao Tian smiled evilly. "My father is currently discussing our marriage with your father. I think we should get to know each other first!"

Ao Tian forced Gu Hanmo step by step. He couldn't wait any longer and couldn't wait to possess Gu Hanmo immediately.

Gu Hanmo retreated step by step, but obviously, she didn't have much room to retreat.

"Why are you retreating?" Ao Tian smiled even more evilly. "You and I are about to become husband and wife, so what's there to be nervous about?"

The elders of the Barbaric Sect all looked on timidly.

Of course, they couldn't stand to see this situation, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

The experts from the Hidden Kill Sect were staring at them intently! If they moved, the experts from the Hidden Kill Sect would definitely move as well, and the scene would definitely become more complicated.

It was Zhang Youtian, Gu Hanmo's former suitor, who bravely stood up and blocked Ao Tian: "What are you doing? Show some respect!"

Ao Tian sneered and glanced at Zhang Youtian disdainfully: "Saving the damsel in distress? Protector of flowers? Hehe, you have to have the strength to do that!"

Slap!

Ao Tian casually slapped Zhang Youtian away.

"It turns out that slapping people is such a satisfying thing!" Ao Tian couldn't help but look at his palm. He seemed to understand why Palm God Xu Ming always liked to slap people.

Just thinking of Xu Ming, Ao Tian faintly felt pain in his face again.

Even Zhang Youtian was slapped away, and immediately, no one else dared to stand in front of Ao Tian. After all, blocking him was just like an ant trying to stop a chariot, only bringing humiliation upon themselves.

However, watching Ao Tian's evil smile and step by step forcing Gu Hanmo, all the men of the Barbaric Sect felt a tightness in their hearts—this was the goddess in everyone's hearts! How could they allow her to be * * * *?

Suddenly, another figure blocked Ao Tian.

"Is there still someone looking for a beating?" Ao Tian didn't even think about it and swung his hand again.

The warriors of the Barbaric Sect didn't have time to see this figure clearly, but everyone sighed in their hearts: "Another brave man... But what's the use? Even if he blocks him, isn't he just looking for humiliation?"

Slap!

Sure enough, as everyone expected, another slap sounded.

"Alas..."

Just as the warriors of the Barbaric Sect were about to mourn, suddenly, they widened their eyes: "Huh? Why did Ao Tian fly out?"

That's right!

The one who flew out was not this ignorant and reckless figure, but the invincible Young Sect Master of the Hidden Kill Sect, Ao Tian!

"Who is this figure?"

At this time, everyone focused their attention on this figure.

"He is..."

"He is..."

Everyone's faces showed surprise and relief.

"It's him!!"

"He's here!"

This chapter was originally intended to be released together with the previous chapter, but I felt it was not good, so I revised it and wrote more than 800 words, making everyone wait for a long time.
