My Longevity Gu Family Is the Retribution—Scammed So Hard He Can't Find His Bearings
My Longevity Gu Family Is the Retribution—Scammed So Hard He Can’t Find His Bearings
The moment Gu Changge’s words fell, Gu Nanshan’s figure emerged before the shocked, incredulous gazes of every cultivator present.
Weng!
He took a single step, leaving the high sky, and instantly appeared at Gu Changge’s side.
A hunched body, tattered and ragged clothes, a dark weathered face, a mouthful of yellow teeth, and a chipped kitchen knife slung across his back.
This old farmer getup left everyone flabbergasted, their eyeballs nearly dropping to the ground.
This was the mysterious Ancestor of the Gu Family?
The powerhouses of the various Dao Lineages and clans all stared fixedly at Gu Nanshan, unable to believe it was real.
This was a far cry from the image of a lofty expert in their minds—it didn’t match in the slightest.
“Greetings, Ancestor.”
Even Gu Changge himself was slightly taken aback, but he quickly revealed a warm smile and said with a grin.
Judging by his aura, this was indeed an Ancestor of the Gu Family, and only then did he set his mind at ease.
With such a blatant, open scheme, even if this Ancestor was furious beyond measure inside, he absolutely wouldn’t dare act out at this moment.
This concerned the Gu Family’s secrets and domestic affairs.
The more ancient these beings were, the more they valued such things—they would absolutely consider the bigger picture and endure.
And that was exactly the point Gu Changge was exploiting.
His original plan had been to draw the Feathered Clan’s hatred, to make them strike to kill, thereby forcing this Ancestor to show himself—sentimentally and logically, he couldn’t possibly stand by and watch him die.
Not to mention that silly girl Gu Xianer, whose head was now all muddled, had probably long stopped taking the bone-digging grudge to heart.
Before, the motivation driving her diligent cultivation had been her hatred for Gu Changge—to defeat him and take back everything that was hers.
But now, the motivation driving her diligent cultivation had become uncovering the “hidden truth” about Gu Changge.
Gu Changge knew Gu Xianer’s personality—she couldn’t possibly watch him fall into a “life-and-death crisis” and leave him to die.
Either way, no matter which possibility played out, this Ancestor would be dragged into the water, forced to appear and act, becoming Gu Changge’s tool to intimidate the various clans.
It was just that the Feathered Clan had disappointed him too much.
They didn’t even dare make a move against him.
Left with no choice, Gu Changge had to devise another plan, coming up with this open scheme to directly expose the Ancestor’s hiding place.
This move of his could be called both ruthless and precise, gripping the Gu Family Ancestor firmly by his weak spot.
As for offending this Ancestor?
Gu Changge hadn’t considered that at all.
He never expected this Ancestor to have any goodwill toward him in the first place.
“You’re quite something.”
Hearing this, a warm smile also appeared on Gu Nanshan’s face as he nodded.
But in reality, he wished he could slap this unfilial descendant to death.
Scamming his own Ancestor—he truly had a talent for it.
He had never intended to act at all; even if he were to act, it would have to wait until the most critical moment.
Otherwise, where would he put his face as an Ancestor?
Through this affair, Gu Nanshan also confirmed that Gu Changge’s temperament was truly bold and decisive.
He even dared to scheme against his own Ancestor—was there anything in this world he wouldn’t dare do?
“Ancestor flatters me. After all, this matter was your instruction—I merely carried it out.”
Gu Changge naturally caught the other meaning in those words. A single “you’re quite something” already revealed this Ancestor’s intense displeasure.
But would he care?
Moreover, Gu Changge went even further, dumping the entire pot of blame directly onto Gu Nanshan’s head.
He said it without so much as batting an eyelid—clearly practiced and well-rehearsed, so smooth it made Gu Nanshan’s smile freeze.
Still, he was, after all, an Ancestor who had lived for countless years.
“Changge, you’ve done well. As the Young Master of my Longevity Gu Family, you should naturally carry yourself as a Young Master should. The Feathered Clan doesn’t know life from death—from this day forth, there is no need for them to exist.”
Gu Nanshan spoke slowly, his voice laced with icy killing intent.
At a time like this, he handled it with ease, though there was a vicious glint in his eyes.
“Mainly, it’s because I have the Ancestor backing me up—otherwise, how would I dare do such a thing?” Gu Changge smiled faintly, wearing an expression that said “what can you do about it?”
To outsiders, this looked like the Gu Family Ancestor praising a junior he admired, the two of them conversing at ease in perfect harmony.
It even made many people envious!
This was the foundation a Longevity Family should have—a respectful and clever junior, a kind and mighty Ancestor. No wonder they stood eternal!
“Why does something feel off...” High in the sky, Gu Xianer couldn’t help muttering, shifting her gaze away from Gu Changge’s face.
That guy smiling so pleasantly—one look and you could tell he was up to no good.
“I knew there was a trick to this! That Gu Changge is so cunning—there really was a powerhouse hidden behind him!”
Before the Feathered Clan’s hall, Yu Wudi exhaled in relief, though his gaze remained wary and apprehensive.
From this suddenly appearing Gu Family Ancestor, he sensed something as deep and vast as the universe itself.
The other’s strength made his heart palpitate; he didn’t dare look directly at him.
“Clan Leader, unless our Ancestor awakens, our clan is doomed today! The Gu Family has even sent out their Ancestor...” Some of the clan Elders’ voices were trembling too.
They all felt a bone-chilling aura from Gu Nanshan.
There was no way they could be Gu Nanshan’s match—they couldn’t even withstand a single wisp of his aura.
“Ancestor, I’ll leave all of this to you. If I stay here, I’d only cause you trouble.”
“I’ll take my leave first.”
At this, Gu Changge smiled faintly, not even waiting for Gu Nanshan’s reply.
His figure stepped straight backward, the void blurred, and he instantly departed the area.
His goal had been achieved, so naturally it was time to find a spot to watch the show and wait to reap the spoils as the fisherman.
Still want to teach me a lesson? Gu Changge couldn’t help sneering inwardly—in one move, he’d scammed this Ancestor so hard he couldn’t find his bearings.
“You...” Hearing this, Gu Nanshan’s beard nearly bristled with rage.
But in front of everyone, he could only suppress it with all his might, vowing that once this matter was settled, he would definitely settle accounts with Gu Changge.
What a bastard!
No one had ever dared scheme against him like this—and so brazenly at that!
“Where is your Ancestor? Tell him to get out here and die!”
Gu Nanshan’s temper was hardly good to begin with. The instant Gu Changge left, a terrifying aura surged upward, enough to change the color of heaven and earth, enough to shatter the universe.
“So strong!”
“This aura... it’s probably surpassed the Sacred Emperor Realm...”
At this moment, whether it was the powerhouses of the Feathered Clan or the cultivators and beings watching from nearby, every single one of them changed expression.
This ocean-like fluctuation seemed capable of submerging everything, leaving them suffocated.
And this was merely a single wisp of pressure leaked by that Gu Family Ancestor!
Just how strong was this Gu Family Ancestor?
“Go invite the Ancestor!” Yu Wudi instantly collapsed limply to the ground, his whole body shaking, even his Primordial Spirit trembling.
He was an incredibly mighty Sacred Noble, yet at this moment he was as insignificant as an ant.
The other clan Elders fared even worse—their faces had all gone deathly pale, unable to utter a word.
“Hm? Finally showing yourself?”
Gu Nanshan’s expression was ugly. He had just been preparing to vent his fury at Gu Changge onto the Feathered Clan.
At that moment, deep within their clan grounds, a golden sun rose—a terrifying existence awakening, dazzling and brilliant, impossible to look at directly.
It was a colossal being with a pair of wings on its back.
The pressure of the Sacred King Realm bore down, and then it transformed into a young-looking being.
He radiated light, illuminating everything before him, looking extraordinarily intimidating.
“Greetings, Ancestor!”
All the beings of the Feathered Clan couldn’t help shouting, incomparably excited and stirred.
Their Ancestor had awakened too!
“A Sacred King—at least at the third heaven of cultivation.”
“Still, how could he possibly be a match for an old monster who walked out of his own clan grounds?”
Having left the area, Gu Changge appeared atop a collapsed palace, hands clasped behind his back as he watched it all.
He nodded slightly, already foreseeing the outcome of this battle.
Leaving everything else aside, every single Ancestor of the Gu Family was absurdly, outrageously powerful.
On this point, all the Dao Lineages and great sects were in agreement.
“Hmph, the Longevity Gu Family is so tyrannical—are you not afraid of retribution?”
The Feathered Clan’s Ancestor stood in the sky, wisps of mist rising and sinking around him, his features blurred.
He clearly knew how troublesome Gu Nanshan was and couldn’t see through his cultivation, so he spoke in a deep voice.
The moment he awoke, he had grasped the whole sequence of events.
He was furious at Gu Changge’s actions.
But the urgent priority now was to force back the Gu Family Ancestor before him.
“Retribution? My Longevity Gu Family IS your retribution!” Gu Nanshan bared his yellow teeth, and the words he spat out sent a chill through everyone’s bodies, letting them feel sheer dominance and terror.
“Damn it!”
The Feathered Clan’s Ancestor struck, his aura incomparably powerful—the cultivation of the third heaven of the Sacred King Realm.
He charged forward to kill, and in an instant heaven and earth overturned.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden, radiant divine sword, barely a foot long, flowing with brilliant light, transforming into a streak of silk that slashed forth.
This sword had been ground from the tooth of some unknown existence, golden throughout, indestructible.
Since he had roamed the Celestial Ancient era, he had used it ever since, invincible wherever it went—it could easily slice open even small worlds.
This terrifying display made everyone’s expression change drastically, their Primordial Spirits trembling.
In this day and age, who had ever witnessed Sacred Kings exchanging blows?
“Sigh...” The Great Elder shook his head, as if unwilling to witness what was coming.
Gu Xianer couldn’t help asking in confusion, “Shifu, why are you like this? Is the Ancestor really that strong?”
“Not just strong.” The Great Elder shook his head, then said, “He’s exceptionally strong.”
“Clang!”
As his words fell.
At that moment, Gu Nanshan’s expression was cold as he directly threw a punch, meeting the sword head-on without the slightest concern.
Huala!
The golden divine sword shuddered, runes flaring, erupting with terrifying fluctuations—
Then, with a crack, it snapped, exploding directly into pieces!
“My Longevity Gu Family IS the retribution! Do you not understand?”
Gu Nanshan said coldly, smashing down a fist—a terrifying fist-light, as if capable of washing away endless ages, descended!
All around, Immortal’s Corpses rose and fell, and a sea of blood surged!
The fist-light illuminated everything, open and righteous, throwing the entire world into turmoil.
“What......”
The Feathered Clan’s Ancestor’s face changed drastically, revealing shock, terror, and disbelief.
And a trace of despair.
“No......”
He roared, never having imagined that this unremarkable-looking Ancestor of the Gu Family’s true cultivation far surpassed his own.
There wasn’t the slightest possibility of the two of them even exchanging blows!
Puchi!
Blood light burst forth, and beneath that fist radiance he was directly evaporated clean, Primordial Spirit included, reduced to a pile of ash.
Sss!
Witnessing this scene, every Cultivator on the mountain peak and across the surrounding heavens and earth was utterly horrified, sucking in sharp breaths of cold air.
Killing the Feathered Clan’s Ancestor with a single punch? Had they seen that correctly just now?
What kind of concept was this?
Just how powerful was this Gu Family Ancestor?
Every member of the Feathered Clan felt their scalps go numb, their entire bodies trembling.
At this moment, many people were frozen in a daze, some even completely stupefied.
“Hmph!”
Gu Nanshan was rather satisfied with the spectacle he had caused. He snorted coldly, and only then did his anger subside slightly.
At that moment, he glanced at Gu Changge, only to find that this junior showed not the slightest surprise—instead, he was grinning cheerfully back at him.
“Is this bastard brat trying to provoke this old man?”
At this sight, the fury in Gu Nanshan’s heart began rising once more, whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Then, before everyone’s utterly horrified and profoundly shaken gazes, his figure vanished in an instant, charging toward the deepest reaches of the Feathered Clan’s territory.
He needed to vent his rage.
The terrifying aura that had been awakening in that place moments ago was now rapidly dispersing like a receding tide—it belonged to the Feathered Clan’s other Ancestor.
He had never imagined that the moment he awoke, he would witness such a horrifying scene. His entire body went ice-cold, his mentality completely shattered, and he wished he could just play dead.
“These juniors are screwing over their own ancestors!”
He roared toward the heavens. Seeing Gu Nanshan charging over to kill him, he didn’t hesitate in the slightest. His divine soul trembled, on the verge of collapse, as he transformed into a black shadow and tried to flee.
A Sacred King Realm expert trying to escape?
Who could claim to easily catch up?
Gu Nanshan was already burning with rage, and now, seeing this blind fool not only refusing to wait obediently for death but actually daring to flee—
He grew even angrier.
With a single stride, the ground shrank to inches beneath his feet as he swiftly gave chase, his vast and terrifying pressure rapidly vanishing from this stretch of heaven and earth.
Every Cultivator and living being looked as though they had just been fished out of water, drenched in cold sweat, their faces pale with fright.
Around the mountain peak, the Young Prodigies of the various lineages and great sects still had their divine souls faintly trembling.
A Sacred King Realm expert—someone they had considered invincible, more than capable of sweeping across the entire Celestial Ancient Continent—had just been killed by the Gu Family Ancestor with a single punch.
The shock this scene left them with was simply too great.
Even now, their heads were still buzzing, completely unable to process what had happened.
“Just how terrifying is the Longevity Gu Family......”
“Their foundation is simply unimaginable. A single Ancestor is powerful to this degree.”
“And according to legend, the Longevity Gu Family has nothing in abundance except Ancestors. Even they themselves don’t know how many Ancestors are buried in their own Ancestral Land.”
Many Cultivators had always assumed this saying was a joke.
But now, they had no choice but to seriously consider its authenticity.
The Feathered Clan, mighty as they were—standing unshaken since the Celestial Ancient Era, enduring to this day, possessing a Sacred King Realm Ancestor—
Before the Longevity Gu Family, they didn’t have even a shred of ability to resist.
“I knew we shouldn’t have let him in. The Lost Clans here are nothing like the clans of their flourishing era—how could they possibly withstand......” The Great Elder watched this scene with a headache; clearly, he had already anticipated all of this.
“The Ancestor is actually that strong?” Gu Xianer’s small mouth hung slightly open; she was a bit dazed at this moment too.
She had never imagined that the unremarkable-looking Ancestor was actually such a formidable figure!
Killing a Sacred King Realm expert with one punch—he was probably already on par with her several shifu.
“If you knew it would come to this, why did you do it in the first place?”
At that moment, Gu Changge’s figure appeared once more, his words accompanying him.
He stood before the despairing, horrified, ashen-faced members of the Feathered Clan, speaking with a cheerful grin.
Gu Nanshan had so “kindly” resolved his biggest problem for him, and through this battle, had intimidated all the other clans.
Now, naturally, it was time for him to appear and collect the benefits he was owed.
“Gu Changge, you......” Yu Wudi’s face was pale as he spoke in terror, no longer possessing the calm composure of a clan leader.
The other Elders were also pale and trembling, not daring to utter a word.
At this moment, in their eyes, Gu Changge was no different from that old farmer-like supreme expert from before.
He could decide their life and death with a casual gesture.
Now, even their Ancestor had been effortlessly slaughtered, unable to resist at all.
What could a bunch of juniors like them possibly do? Besides, the Dragon Clan had already abandoned them!
“You still remember what I said before, right?” Gu Changge smiled, his robes fluttering, appearing elegant as jade, transcendent and otherworldly.
“We remember.” Yu Wudi was like a man grasping at a sliver of light in the darkness, hurriedly nodding.
The eyes of the other Feathered Clan members also lit up with hope.
From Gu Changge’s words, they sensed hope—they still had a chance to survive.
They didn’t want to die.
Even ants cling to life, let alone living beings and Cultivators.
“Good that you remember. I said I’d give you two choices: submit, or die.” Gu Changge still wore a smile, though at this moment everyone could feel the astonishing chill within it.
“We choose to submit! To be slaves and servants, to be driven at Young Master Changge’s command—we shall not refuse!”
Hearing this, the group of Feathered Clan Elders’ eyes lit up with joy as they immediately spoke, already scared out of their wits by the earlier scene, knowing full well that resisting Gu Changge would end badly for them.
“Very well. But before that, you must do one thing.”
Gu Changge wore a smile as he spoke casually, his expression unchanged, as though discussing some trivial matter.
“I need a Token of Allegiance from you, as proof of your submission to me.”
“That’s not too much to ask, is it?”
His smile carried deep amusement.
“What!?”
Every member of the Feathered Clan froze, feeling the astonishing chill and Gu Changge’s thick malice.
This Token of Allegiance—he naturally wanted them to slaughter each other!
What a vicious scheme! Once they did such a thing, that humiliation would be branded deep into their bloodline, impossible to ever erase.
Never mind them—even the many Cultivators nearby couldn’t help but shudder, swearing to themselves that they would never, ever provoke Gu Changge in the future.
This guy appeared transcendent and immortal-like on the surface, but his methods were ruthlessly vicious, enough to make one’s hair stand on end!
“Gu Changge’s methods really are as ruthless as ever—he shows his enemies not the slightest mercy.”
Gu Xianer secretly counted herself lucky. Compared to his enemies, Gu Changge had actually treated her quite well. Otherwise, given the murderous, heaven-hating attitude she had shown him at the very beginning......
Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.
The Feathered Clan sure had nice ideas—now they knew to admit defeat? What were they doing earlier?
Gu Changge had never considered himself a soft-hearted person.
He might as well use this incident to intimidate the entire Celestial Ancient Races, letting everyone know that from this day forward, on the Celestial Ancient Continent, he, Gu Changge, had the final say!
Soon, after Gu Changge finished speaking, the Feathered Clan descended into chaos.
Some had bloodshot eyes and twisted faces, cursing loudly as they charged at Gu Changge, preferring death over submission.
But they were casually slapped to death by Gu Changge.
Even more of the Feathered Clan’s members chose to cling to life, unwilling to die in such a stifled, unwilling manner.
Under the suppression of the Primal Celestial Temple and the Immortal Guards, every Feathered Clan member who handed over a Token of Allegiance survived, while all who chose to resist were executed.
Today’s humiliation was enough to make the remaining Feathered Clan members unable to hold their heads high for the rest of their lives, unable to face their own kin.
And soon, word of what happened today spread to the outside world, to every corner of the Celestial Ancient Continent, triggering a massive earthquake. No clan could remain calm or sit still.
Quite a few of the Celestial Ancient Races were nearly scared senseless upon hearing the news.
The Feathered Clan, with its long and ancient heritage, vast beyond measure—after this day, it began to collapse and fall apart.
Reduced to a slave clan of Gu Changge, serving him for eternity, at his beck and call.
In this great purge, that mysterious Gu Family Ancestor also became the focus of discussion among countless Cultivators, while the Longevity Gu Family’s foundation left innumerable Cultivators shaken.
The Primal Celestial Temple’s domineering might and the terrifying sharpness of the Gu Family’s Immortal Guards both sparked great debate in the wake of this battle.
Under considerable pressure, the passage connecting the Celestial Ancient Continent to the outside world was kept open by Skyward Schloss.
This training expedition of the younger generation finally drew to a close, but the Celestial Ancient Continent remained unrestful.
Various lineages and great sects continued to descend, vying for the resources within.
Dragon Island, home of the True Dragon Clan, sealed itself off, divine light shooting into the sky as a defensive formation was activated. Dragon roars shook the eight directions from within, drawing the attention of many Cultivators.
No one knew what the Celestial Ancient Dragon Clan was truly planning.
And soon, several days passed.
On this day, deep within the Mountains of Horizons, brilliant celestial light suddenly appeared, illuminating the firmament. Celestial music spread out, as though numerous celestial maidens were dancing there.
For a time, many powerful experts were startled by this phenomenon.
Within the phenomenon, ancient Celestials appeared one after another, sitting cross-legged in overlapping rows, chanting scriptures containing supreme mysteries.
Many old fossils rushed to the site and studied it for a while, then discovered something astonishing.
“A Celestial Gate has emerged—within it there may be a Celestial Path, containing the fortuitous opportunity to ascend as a Celestial!”
The moment this news broke, it instantly shook the entire Celestial Ancient Continent, and even the Boundless Heaven of the outside world, setting off a terrifying storm.
Celestial!
This word held extraordinary significance throughout the entire Beyond. Anything connected to Celestials was never simple.
Let alone actually ascending to become one.
For a time, the Celestial Ancient Continent once again welcomed numerous terrifying experts.
This matter had no effect whatsoever on Gu Changge, who had already finished scheming against the Feathered Clan and planned to take his time with the rest of the Celestial Ancient Continent.
He even couldn’t help but sneer, “I’ve already taken all the good stuff. Even if the Celestial Path opens wide now, what could you lot possibly find?”
By now, Gu Changge was already leading his group of followers, preparing to leave the Celestial Ancient Continent and return to Skyward Schloss.
After all, the passage between the two lands was fully open. To him, the Celestial Ancient Continent was like his own back garden, one he could enter whenever he pleased.
He needed to begin preparing his next plan, and on top of that, he had to figure out how to maximize the deterrent value of Gu Nanshan.
At the same time, Gu Changge also had to consider how to resolve Gu Nanshan’s fury.
Scheming against an Ancestor felt great, sure.
But the reckoning that was due would still come.
And soon, Gu Changge thought of a solution—he set his sights on Gu Xianer.
