Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

Chapter 40 Persecute Zhou Yu! Tough Choice

The world seems to have fallen into silence at this moment.

The familiar young geniuses of the Human Emperor Palace stood side by side, staring blankly at the scene before them.

In the hearts of many geniuses of the Imperial Realm, the Holy Realm was an almost invincible existence.

It was absolutely impossible for an Imperial Realm powerhouse to challenge and defeat a Holy Realm powerhouse.

For many, their ultimate goal was to break through to the Holy Realm and become a Holy Realm powerhouse.

However, Duanmu Qingyu defeated a Holy Realm powerhouse not long ago, and now Gu Lingxiao has appeared and directly defeated the Xuantai Saint.

The myth of the Holy Realm powerhouse has been shattered.

What's more, the Xuantai Saint that Gu Lingxiao defeated was not a newly entered Saint.

The division of the Holy Realm's realm is relatively simple compared to the previous realms, ranging from the first to the ninth stage.

Most of the Saints that Duanmu Qingyu defeated were at the first or second stage.

But the one Gu Lingxiao defeated was a fifth stage Saint.

"Master!!!"

It wasn't until Zhou Yu shouted and rushed to the side of the Xuantai Saint, breaking the silence, that the whole world became noisy again.

"Where did this monster come from?"

"So it's possible for the Imperial Realm to defeat the Holy Realm..."

"So this is the heritage of the hidden clans? First Duanmu Qingyu, now Gu Lingxiao, one more terrifying than the other."

"Could this be the so-called Golden Age?"

The geniuses of the Human Emperor Palace looked at each other, their emotions complicated.

They had heard that this era was the Golden Age, and countless geniuses would emerge.

As top geniuses of the Human Emperor Palace, they naturally had ambitious aspirations and wanted to compete with these yet-to-be-born geniuses, striving to be invincible for eternity.

But when they saw Gu Lingxiao's formidable strength, they felt somewhat disheartened.

Because the gap in strength was simply too great.

Gu Lingxiao was already able to defeat a Holy Realm powerhouse head-on, but they might not even be able to withstand a few moves under a Saint.

The strong contrast and disparity made them sigh silently in their hearts.

In the ordinary era, they were already top geniuses, and the Holy Realm was the ruler of this world.

But in the Golden Age, they could only be cannon fodder, mere spectators.

This splendid feast was destined to have nothing to do with them.

Zhou Xi, on the other hand, was stunned.

She had long known that Gu Lingxiao was incredibly powerful, but she didn't expect him to be able to defeat a Holy Realm powerhouse.

This had a huge impact on her young mind.

If she could have such great strength, why worry about not being able to eradicate the Demon Clan?

But...

The Xuantai Saint was Zhou Yu's master after all.

If the Xuantai Saint were to be killed by Gu Lingxiao like this, Zhou Yu and Gu Lingxiao would probably be trapped in an endless cycle of life and death.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhou Xi was in a dilemma, several streaks of light crossed the sky, and several Holy Realm powerhouses descended, standing in front of the Xuantai Saint.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

The arrival of the many Saints from the Human Emperor Palace should prevent Gu Lingxiao from killing the Xuantai Saint, right?

However, reality proved that she was thinking too simply.

"Greetings, Young Master Gu."

The Saints came before Gu Lingxiao and respectfully greeted him.

This action shocked many geniuses of the Human Emperor Palace.

They had thought that these Saints had come to pick a fight with the Xuantai Saint, but who would have thought that they were actually here to make peace?

Gu Lingxiao stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly for these people to speak.

"The Human Emperor Palace, the Extreme Martial Saints." The Extreme Martial Saint briefly introduced their identities. "The Xuantai has shown disrespect to Young Master Gu, so please forgive him."

In fact, after Hou Jingyue informed them, they quickly arrived and watched from the sidelines.

In their view, Gu Lingxiao was not a match for the Xuantai Saint.

They only needed to make sure that Gu Lingxiao wasn't killed, so as to avoid retaliation from the Gu family.

But when the Xuantai Saint was defeated, they knew they had to step forward and plead for the Xuantai Saint.

They don't want to lose a saint.

"If all you have to say is this kind of nonsense, then just leave," Gu Lingxiao said indifferently.

When it comes to saints, he can indulge in some idle talk.

But only to this extent.

The face of the Extreme Martial Saint changed.

As saints, who dares to speak to them like this?

Especially the top forces like the Imperial Palace, with both personal strength and background at their peak, no one dares to speak to them like this.

But who could have expected to encounter someone like Gu Lingxiao, whose strength and background are not inferior to theirs?

"Well, let me be direct. What does Young Master Gu want in order to spare the Xuan Tower Saint?"

"That's simple." A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Lingxiao's mouth as he turned his head to look at Zhou Yu beside the Xuan Tower Saint.

Zhou Yu met Gu Lingxiao's gaze and felt a sense of unease.

"Tell Zhou Xi your little secret, and I will spare your master," Gu Lingxiao said.

"What is Young Master Gu saying? I don't understand," Zhou Yu replied.

A faint smile gradually appeared on Gu Lingxiao's lips, with a hint of mockery. "Is that so? It's a pity for your master. He stood up for you and even paid the price of his life, but you won't even reveal such a small secret."

After speaking, Gu Lingxiao turned his head to look at the Xuan Tower Saint.

The Xuan Tower Saint's expression changed rapidly.

He could tell that this was a very crude and divisive tactic.

But with the hope of survival, he didn't want to perish like this.

After all, this time he took action for Zhou Yu's sake.

So he also looked at Zhou Yu, hoping that Zhou Yu would reveal that little secret.

But Zhou Yu looked at the Xuan Tower Saint and couldn't bear to turn away.

He had a premonition.

Once he revealed that secret, there would be no way to go back to the past with Xi'er.

The Xuan Tower Saint widened his eyes, unexpectedly his painstakingly cultivated disciple would make such a choice.

Although they had only been together for a few months, the Xuan Tower Saint believed that he had been meticulous in his care.

Which of the other disciples didn't envy Zhou Yu's treatment?

"Speak, Junior Brother!"

"Your master has been so good to you, you must save him!"

"Junior Brother! Your master confronted Gu Lingxiao this time to save you."

Zhou Yu's senior brothers looked at him with expressions of anger and resentment.

They had also benefited greatly from the Xuan Tower Saint's protection and careful guidance.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was unwilling to save the Xuan Tower Saint, they were even more puzzled and angry.

Zhou Xi also became confused.

What kind of secret couldn't she know?

She looked puzzled. "Brother, what secret is it?"

The gazes from all directions and the ubiquitous words made Zhou Yu's heart increasingly tormented.

On one side was his mentor, on the other side was his sister whom he had grown up with.

He really couldn't make a choice!

"Junior Brother..."

"Brother..."

He seemed to see the disappointed look in Zhou Xi's eyes after he revealed the secret.

And he seemed to see the scene of his mentor's tragic death after keeping the secret.

Zhou Yu's face showed a painful expression.

He held his head, almost on the verge of collapse from these two choices.

"Make a choice quickly, Zhou Yu." Gu Lingxiao had already put away his smile at this moment. "My time is precious."

The pain on Zhou Yu's face intensified as he lowered his head to look at the ground.

But when he raised his head, all the pain disappeared from his face, replaced by an unwavering determination.

"Why fear punishment if you desire to add guilt? I, Zhou Yu, have no secrets that cannot be revealed!"
