Since Guo Junyu returned to the Guo family, he had been banished by the family’s elder, Master Guo, to the back mountains for isolation and self-reflection. Thinking about this unworthy grandson who actually dared to kill the grandson of Situ Lingyu, the elder would tremble with rage.
For more than ten consecutive days, Master Guo’s right eye kept twitching. His instincts told him that something terrible was about to happen to the Guo family…
A few days ago, assassinations began to occur repeatedly within the Guo family. Many of their hidden disciples were injured, causing widespread panic. However, Master Guo knew this was only the beginning.
“Father, how do you plan to deal with Junyu’s matter? He…”
Inside Master Guo’s study, a middle-aged man stood silently, seemingly emotionless. Yet when mentioning Guo Junyu, his lips twitched violently.
“Hmph, do you still acknowledge me as your father? Look at the son you raised—useless and destructive! He dared to harm the grandson of Situ Lingyu! He’s pushing our Hidden Guo family toward ruin!”
Master Guo’s face suddenly aged, his voice icy with fury. Thinking about Situ Lingyu’s terrifying power, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him. Silver Fox—once an awe-inspiring figure whose strength even he could not match in his prime.
Though no news of Silver Fox had circulated among the hidden clans for years, everyone still feared this deadly figure…
“After the upheaval, the Hidden Situ family is nowhere near as strong as it once was. Although our Hidden Guo family may not rival them in power, we certainly don’t need to fear them so much!”
Guo Junyu’s father, Guo Hongguang, eyes flashing with coldness, could sense the chill in his father’s tone. It was clear to him that his only son was in grave danger. If the Situ family came seeking revenge, would his father hand Junyu over?
“After living so many years, have you grown more foolish? If it were just the Hidden Situ family, the Guo clan would show them some respect, but we wouldn’t cower like this. However, Situ Lingyu is different. The Heaven Alliance under his command is likely no weaker than the Hidden Situ family at its peak!”
Once quite satisfied with his son and grandson, Master Guo now felt only frustration at their lack of understanding.
“Heaven Alliance, Heaven Alliance!” Guo Hongguang muttered, his pupils gradually widening as he finally realized the true magnitude of the Heaven Alliance.
“Now do you understand the magnitude of the disaster Junyu has brought upon us? Although Situ Lingyu’s grandson was taken away by the Hidden Huangpu family, his fate remains unknown. If that young man dies, the wrath of Silver Fox will surely bring total annihilation to our Hidden Guo family!”
Never had he imagined the Hidden Guo family would face such a day. Master Guo felt a deep sense of disappointment and regret…
Now all he could do was pray that Xiao Yufan would survive. For if Xiao Yufan died, the Guo family would have no hope left. If he lived, there might still be a chance for negotiation.
“Even so, would he really dare to strike against our Guo family openly?”
“You underestimate the true strength of the Heaven Alliance. Although it has been scattered across the world for years, as long as Silver Fox and the three Supreme Elders remain, the Heaven Alliance can summon all its forces back!”
Thinking about the terrifying might of the Heaven Alliance, Master Guo clenched his teeth tightly, his facial muscles twitching…
“But we still have one person in our hands. Even if Situ Lingyu wants to strike against us, he’ll have to hesitate!”
Suddenly, Guo Hongguang recalled the woman captured during the recent assassination attempt, his eyes gleaming with calculation. If his guess was correct, that woman was one of Xiao Yufan’s companions. Even Situ Lingyu would have to consider the safety of his future granddaughter-in-law.
“You mean the woman who appeared the day before yesterday?”
Master Guo frowned, feeling a burning shame at the thought of stooping to such a method to threaten others. But apparently, they had no better options now…
As both men fell into thought, their hearts suddenly jolted. A voice, like the tolling of a great bell, rang into their ears. Even with their formidable cultivation, they nearly lost control of their minds.
“Old bastard of the Guo family, come out and face me, or today shall be the end of the Guo family!”
Since Situ Lingyu learned of Xiao Yufan’s situation, he had summoned all the scattered Heaven Alliance experts. After a long period of silence, it was time for the Heaven Alliance to reemerge into the world’s spotlight, and the Hidden Guo family was their first target.
Although he didn’t know Xiao Yufan’s current condition, Situ Lingyu was certain that the young man, blessed with great fortune, would not meet his end. He believed the Huangpu family would not harm him, and might even go to great lengths to retain him—after all, that boy was his grandson, the Silver Fox.
Yet Xiao Yufan had been injured by the Guo family. If Situ Lingyu did nothing, wouldn’t others truly believe that Silver Fox was dead?
Behind the Situ patriarch stood three elders. Their presence exuded an aura of ethereal grace, one even carrying a long sword on his back, appearing quite peculiar. These three were the Heaven Alliance’s Three Supreme Elders.
Heavy Sword Wu Feng, Divine Healer Yi Chen, and Dragon Crone Gu Xiyan—each was a legendary figure from decades ago. Judging from their current auras, they had surpassed the Condensed Power stage by a vast margin.
Behind them stood more Heaven Alliance experts. If Xiao Yufan were here, he would be stunned. Not a single one among them was below the Condensed Power stage. The Heaven Alliance had grown terrifyingly powerful. Compared to them, the so-called Tianzu seemed far less formidable.
After all, none of the Tianzu members had reached the Internal Energy stage back then…
A deadly atmosphere filled the space, creating an eerie tension. The Guo family members who first stepped forward were so overwhelmed by this pressure that not a single one dared to act. Yet they all knew—the Hidden Guo family was in serious trouble.
“Hahaha! I thought who it could be. So it’s Silver Fox himself who’s honored us with his presence! The Hidden Guo family sincerely apologizes for the lack of proper welcome. Please forgive our oversight…”
Soon after, two figures emerged from the Hidden Guo family. They were none other than Master Guo and Guo Hongguang, who had been speaking in the study earlier. However, at this moment, Master Guo’s face bore a forced smile.
Especially after seeing the Heaven Alliance’s imposing formation, Master Guo’s eye twitched violently, and his heart sank to the depths. Not only were these people formidable, but even the three behind Situ Lingyu alone had the power to annihilate the Hidden Guo family!
