Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 778: Chapter 778: Step into the Gongsun Family_1

At this moment, Gongsun Lie finally understood that Gui Mu, who had secluded himself within the Gongsun Family, claiming to craft Spiritual Artifacts for them, was merely using the Gongsun Family as a cover to conceal his own identity.

”What’s the matter, Family Head Gongsun? Are you planning to miss this excellent opportunity?” Gui Mu said with an indifferent expression, a tremendous aura pressing down on Gongsun Lie, who immediately fell to the ground, trembling.

”I am willing to join the Demon Palace!”

In the end, Gongsun Lie succumbed. Faced with the choice between death and joining the Demon Palace, he could only choose the latter.

”Gongsun Lie, do you know what you are doing?”

Just then, an enraged roar rang out; an old man with white brows and hair, dressed in a long robe, suddenly appeared there, staring at Gongsun Lie with a face full of anger.

Beside him followed a young man with a stern face and a pair of bright eyes that flickered with an unusual brilliance; these two were none other than the Gongsun Family’s elder, Gongsun Hong, and the Gongsun Family’s young master, Gongsun Yunxiu.

”Father, Yunxiu!”

Seeing his father and son appear, Gongsun Lie’s face changed.

Gui Mu, with a smile on his lips, looked at Gongsun Hong and chuckled lightly, ”Elder Gongsun, long time no see. Finally out of seclusion!”

”Gui Mu, I never expected you to be a member of the Demon Palace. Had I known, I would have never agreed to let you into the Gongsun Family,” Gongsun Hong said, his gaze icy as he watched Gui Mu.

”Elder Gongsun, you no longer have any other choices. Either die or join the Demon Palace!”

Gui Mu said coldly.

”Hmph, although I, Gongsun Hong, may not have done many good deeds in my life, I will never join the Demon Palace and mingle with you people of the Demonic Path,” Gongsun Hong said firmly.

”Then you can die!”

Suddenly, the Demon Envoy coldly huffed and disappeared from his spot.

Gongsun Hong’s expression changed, and he quickly circulated his True Qi, displaying the strength of the sixth layer of the Saint Realm, but to no avail.

Puchi!

The next second, the figure of the Demon Envoy had already appeared in front of Gongsun Hong, striking his chest with a palm, and a terrifying surge of Demonic Qi burst forth.

Instantly, Gongsun Hong was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, his complexion pale, his breath feeble, gasping for his last breaths.

”Grandfather!”

”Father!”

Gongsun Yunxiu and Gongsun Lie shouted one after the other.

”You...”

Gongsun Hong pointed at the Demon Envoy, only to gasp out a single word before he died.

The faces of Gongsun Lie and Gongsun Yunxiu immediately turned extremely unsightly, their eyes filled with pain.

”What about you, kid? Considering your bit of talent, do you want to join this old man in Hell, or will you join the Demon Palace with your father?”

The Demon Envoy, wearing a skull mask, fixed his eyes, cold as ice, on Gongsun Yunxiu.

”I... I...” Gongsun Yunxiu’s eyes were filled with hesitation, and he involuntarily looked towards Situ Lie.

”Yunxiu, hurry and agree to join the Demon Palace!” Gongsun Lie urgently said. He had already lost his father; he absolutely could not afford to lose the only bloodline of the Gongsun Family.

”I’m willing to join the Demon Palace!” Gongsun Yunxiu said as he bowed.

”Very good!” The Demon Envoy sneered coldly, fiercely placing a hand on Gongsun Yunxiu’s head. Streams of Demonic Qi surged into his brain, rapidly sowing a Demon Seed within his soul.

Before long, Gongsun Yunxiu’s whole body emitted a surge of Demonic Qi, his eyes filled with demonic light, and his brow was steeped in a murderous aura.

”Now that you’ve been sowed with the Demon Seed, you’ve officially become a member of the Demon Palace. If you dare to betray the Demon Palace, your soul will scatter, and your spirit will dissipate!”

The Demon Envoy said coldly, and then planted a Demon Seed in the brain of Gongsun Lie as well.

This Demon Seed was a technique the Demon Palace had developed to control people; once someone was implanted with a Demon Seed, their soul would come under the control of the members of the Demon Palace, who could disperse it with a mere thought.

”Lord Demon Envoy, the target has appeared,” one of the Demon Palace’s members said as he briskly walked in, bowing.

”They’ve certainly arrived quickly enough.” Gui Mu revealed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

”In the past, I had no chance to meet Sheng Tianyang, but today I really want to see what this new Nine Yang Physique holder is really like.” The Demon Envoy’s eyes sparkled with a sharp gleam.

By now, Ye Luo had already arrived outside the Situ Family’s domain by car, gotten out, and swept his gaze over the Situ Family. With the Clairvoyant Eye activated, he had a clear view of the situation inside.

Seeing the gathering of a large group of the Demon Palace’s experts inside, Ye Luo’s expression became difficult to maintain, with a solemn look on his face.

Given the current situation, once Ye Luo stepped inside, it would almost certainly result in a nearly certain death. Any of the experts inside were capable of annihilating him, yet for Qin Yuru, he had no second thoughts; he had to go in.

”Master, if the situation becomes perilous, I will sacrifice a part of my Instrument Soul’s strength to help you withstand these people’s attacks, and then you can take Lady Yu Ru and leave,”

Xiao Ba from inside the Eight Feet Mirror couldn’t help but speak up at this moment.

”Thank you, Xiao Ba!”

Ye Luo sincerely said, and he walked into the Situ Family, his hand gripping the Lingyun Sword, which seemed to sense a vast crisis; it even began to quiver lightly, as if resonating with something.

As he entered the Gongsun Family, Ye Luo could feel a strong presence of Demonic Qi, and around the Gongsun Family stood groups of figures clad in armor, holding black scimitars.

Looking at these people, Ye Luo felt a terrifying aura emanating from them; this group was definitely trained specially. Furthermore, at the very least, they all possessed Innate Peak Stage presence, and a large number were at the Saint Realm. Especially inside, there was a significant gathering of the Demon Palace’s experts.

This time, the Demon Palace had really dispatched a tremendously powerful force, signalling a complete comeback.

Previously, Ye Luo had encountered the Blood Demon Sect, one of the four major demonic forces, and he had not imagined that he would encounter the Demon Palace now. He seemed to have quite the fate with these demonic forces.

Walking unobstructed into the main hall of the Gongsun Family, he caught sight of Gui Mu and Situ Lie, aside them stood a young man and a person wearing a skeleton mask indicative of the Hua Yuan Realm, and on both sides, all eight of the Demon Palace’s experts were at the ninth layer of Saint Realm.

This level of strength could easily kill Ye Luo, yet he looked fearlessly at Gui Mu.

”So you’re a person from the Demon Palace!”

Ye Luo’s eyes focused on Gui Mu, not having expected this guy to be a member of the Demon Palace.

”Nine Yang Physique, we meet again,” Gui Mu said with an eerie smile, watching Ye Luo, while the Demon Envoy also fixed his gaze on Ye Luo, causing him to feel a tremendous pressure.

”So this is the Nine Yang Physique? He looks rather weak. He’s only at the Innate Peak Stage—not even one-thousandth the strength of Sheng Tianyang,” the Demon Envoy said coldly while observing Ye Luo.
