Chapter 250: Heavenly Gu Society, Protecting Young Master Gu

"Quick!" shouted a death warrior, "Cover Young Master Gu's retreat!"

"We'll never let you go, curse you, Three Mountains Island!" another warrior bellowed, representing the sentiment of the Heavenly Gu Society.

"Young Master Gu, hurry, leave now!"

Similar final words echoed around Gu Ran from the other death warriors as they met their fate.

"Heavenly Gu Society?" Gu Ran stood there, both bewildered and speechless, finding it hard to believe what he had just heard. "When did I become this 'Young Master Gu' of the Heavenly Gu Society?"

"Damn, is someone playing a prank on me?" he wondered aloud, his voice tinged with incredulity and confusion.

"You Heavenly Gu Society!" roared You Caigao, his eyes practically ablaze with fury. "Damn it, our You clan has powerful allies! None of you from the Heavenly Gu Society will escape!"

Filled with both confusion and surprise, Gu Ran quickly collected himself. 'I can't afford to care about this anymore!'

'Protesting won't rid me of this 'Heavenly Gu Society' label, no matter how much I try.'

'So, if that's the case, I'll make the first move and fight. What matters most is increasing my cultivation base!' At this moment, his best strategy was to kill in order to grow stronger.

Thus, Gu Ran took action. Stalking a cultivator, he launched a fierce attack and shouted, "Perish!"

However, just then, a black-clad assassin exuding an Inquiring Journey realm aura appeared from the side, shouting, "Young Master Gu, flee! I'll provide cover!"

With that, the black-clad assassin moved swiftly, taking down Gu Ran's target before he could.

"..." Gu Ran was momentarily at a loss for words but didn't linger on it.

He quickly redirected his attack towards another cultivator from the You clan.

Yet, another assassin clad in black, exhibiting the power of the Inquiring Journey realm, appeared and eliminated Gu Ran's new target before he could land his strike. "Young Master Gu, escape! Leave the rest to us!" the assassin urged.

"..." Gu Ran was not just speechless, but his expression also registered shock and surprise. 'This... this has to be a coincidence, right?'

After reassuring himself, Gu Ran, wearing a determined expression, took aim at his third target.

Yet again, another black-clad assassin, exuding the formidable power of the Inquiring Journey realm, emerged, taking out Gu Ran's target before he could deliver his attack. "Young Master Gu, escape now! When the senior members of the You clan arrive, we won't stand a chance!"

'What in the world is happening?' Gu Ran gaped at the unfolding events, his mind racing.

'Why... why does it keep ending like this?' he thought, utterly bewildered by the course of events.

At that moment, three black-clad assassins, each radiating the strength of the Inquiring Journey realm, circled around Gu Ran, forming a defensive perimeter.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Cover Young Master Gu's retreat!" They urgently raised their voices, desperately trying to guide Gu Ran to safety.

"Damn it! Stop them, no matter the cost!" You Caigao's voice boomed, filled with uncontrollable fury.

"Enough of this chaos! Eliminate this You clan braggart!" Three assassins from the Heavenly Origin realm appeared beside You Caigao. Each displayed the formidable power of the Inquiring Journey realm as they unleashed their merciless attacks.

"Begone!" A deafening roar echoed.

In the heat of the conflict, Gu Ran had dispatched around a dozen Mysterious Platform realm cultivators, and a few Early-stage Heavenly Origin realm practitioners.

This feat granted him ample cultivation base, potentially paving the way for his breakthrough to the Inquiring Journey realm.

Yet, with the threat of the You Clan's higher-ups looming, Gu Ran dared not tarry.

He quickly concealed himself and made his exit.

As he retreated, the Fate Value of the remaining supporting characters incrementally rose.

Upon observing this, Jiang Chen promptly issued an order for the death warriors to pull back.

"Fall back, fall back, fall back!" A black-clad warrior yelled loudly.

"Young Master Gu has already escaped; everyone, evacuate swiftly!"

The other death warriors acted quickly, hastily withdrawing towards the city's outskirts. In no time, they had entirely vacated You Clan City.

[Ding! You have successfully altered the plot, protagonist Gu Ran's Heavenly Fate Value has been reduced by 1000 points!]

[Ding! You have earned 2000 Villain Value points!]

System notifications echoed in Jiang Chen's mind.

At that moment, a screen of light rose, encapsulating a large area including You Clan City.

Both Gu Ran and Jiang Chen's death warriors found themselves ensnared within!

"Who is it!" A voice, quaking with unbearable rage, resounded across Three Mountains Island. "Who dares to slay my dearest grandson? I'll flay him alive and slice him into a thousand pieces!" Then, a streak of light descended upon the island, materializing into a stern, hawk-nosed elder.

This man was You Haiyin, a Late-stage Inquiring Journey realm cultivator and the ancestor of the You Clan.

Typically, You Haiyin wouldn't be on Three Mountains Island but would instead be meditating on Ageless Spirit Heavenly Island.

The scenario where potent cultivators from peripheral islands retreat to the central island for cultivation was quite common in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.

Upon hearing about the outbreak of the demonic beast tide, You Haiyin hurriedly rushed back to his homeland.

However, just as he was about to reach his destination, he was greeted with the horrific news of You Caigao's murder!

You Haiyin was consumed by intense fury and profound grief!
