Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 217 - 167: The Old Man’s Time is Near? Then Break Through to Ninth Grade!

On the way to the temporary residence of the Young Master,

the two Elders of the Gu Family from the Heavenly Gate Realm murmured non-stop, "Although Changge has broken through to the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm, it's truly inconceivable that he has escaped from a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm adversary multiple times!"

"Isn't that the truth?"

"If it were you or me facing someone from the Annihilation Realm, I doubt we could escape with just minor injuries, right?"

"Unless we had a secret technique like Elder Two to burn our Essence Blood for extra strength..."

"Ah, let's not talk about this, let's hurry and bring Changge home."

Whenever Deacon Kuang's name came up, they couldn't help but sigh and quickened their pace.

Soon, they were led to the temporary palace by a Deacon of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

After the Deacon left, the arrival of the two naturally caught the attention of the other Gu Family's Deacons.

"Greetings to the Third Elder, Fifth Elder."

Several Gu Family's Deacons saluted them.

"How is the Young Master doing?"

Before any Deacon could answer the Elders' question, Gu Changge came out.

"Thank you for your concern, the Elders; Changge is fine."

As he spoke, Gu Changge gave a slight bow to the two men.

Seeing that he was indeed without any problems, the two Elders finally relieved, returned the bow, "Young Master."

Then they invited the two men into the hall.

But the two did not sit down; rather, they immediately said, "Young Master, please prepare to return to the family as soon as possible."

"The bad guys have fled, and there shouldn't be any problems in the short term..." Gu Changge thought it was the family worrying about him encountering danger again and waved his hand.

"It's not that..."

"Ah, you all go out first."

The Third Elder gestured to send all the Deacons away.

Seeing this, Gu Changge's frown deepened, a foreboding feeling creeping up on him.

Could it be about the Family Head's injury?

But when he received the message at that time, he also contacted Gu Qianjun and his third uncle. They both said the Family Head was fine, so he didn't think more of it!

"Although Elder Two didn't want it said..."

"You should still return soon... The situation isn't good."

The two Elders looked at each other, having already decided what to do on their way here.

Elder Two was stubborn and had insisted on dealing with it himself, not permitting them to tell. But could such a thing be hidden?

It could be concealed for a while, but the Young Master would find out sooner or later.

Why not take advantage of some time available and inform the Young Master beforehand?

"Please elaborate, both Elders!"

Hearing that the family head's condition was dire, Gu Changge stood up and frowned.

As the two Elders explained everything in detail,

Gu Changge's furrowed brows grew even tighter.

"Essence Blood exhausted, Lifespan approaching its end!?"

"How could such a grave matter not be communicated to me?"

Hearing him say so, the two could only smile wryly, "It was all Elder Two's doing. He didn't want us to say anything, and even our coming here was arranged by the Family Head. Elder Two specifically instructed us not to tell you the truth, nor to disrupt your affairs."

Gu Changge paused.

Indeed, with the Family Head's stubborn nature, it wasn't surprising he would do such a thing.

Third uncle and Gu Qianjun must have told him everything was fine because the Family Head wanted it that way.

"Damn it."

He couldn't help but curse silently.

He had thought that the Heavenly Cold Sect had suffered the most significant loss, and his own Gu Family was only slightly affected.

But now, it seemed he had let Li Si off too easily by allowing him to die so simply!

"Notify the others, we will be heading back to the Gu Family immediately."

After speaking to the two Elders, Gu Changge planned to call for Senior Xue.

However, this conversation naturally did not escape Old Blind Man. Before he could reach the door to call out, Old Blind Man had already pushed the door open.

"Young Master, I have heard everything, there is no need for further words."

He bowed to the Young Master, whose face looked somewhat unwell.

Old Blind Man's arm seemed to have recovered quite a bit, but his skin still showed frightening burns.

"Let's go home."

At this moment, Gu Changge was no longer delaying.

He didn't even care about what he had promised his wife before; the wedding night could wait, but the Family Head's situation was critical.

He didn't even wait for the flying boat they came in.

He left ahead with Senior Xue and the two Heavenly Gate Realm Elders, instructing the Deacons to catch up to the Gu Family on their own.

As for his wife, he only managed to pass on his apologies through Wan Shan Taoist who saw him off.

On the way back, Gu Changge's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

Although the Family Head had hardly spoken to him before he began his cultivation,

He usually stayed in Duanbei City, guarding the borders of the Northern Domain of the Human Clan.

However, now he also understood the Family Head's difficulties. In the nearly one year he had spent with the Family Head, he could feel how much he cared for him.

In Duanbei City, the Family Head had even directly attacked the Mountain Gate of the Heavenly Cold Sect when he learned that his wife had been bullied. Even when a Ninth Grade powerhouse from the sect intervened, the Family Head was ready to ignite his Essence Blood to fight tooth and nail.

Whenever any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were involved, they were always reserved for him first.

"Elder Xue..."

"With the Family Head's current condition, is there any hope?"

Hearing the Young Master's words, Old Blind Man remained silent for a long time before shaking his head.

"No solution."

"Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang had already damaged his foundations through repeated use of secret techniques to burn his Essence Blood."

"Now the situation is beyond help from medicine or stones."

"Even if a powerhouse from the Sage Realm were to transfer Spiritual Energy to him to prolong his life, it wouldn't extend it by much."

Old Blind Man sounded somewhat helpless, his impression of Daoist Fellow Gu Kuang was not bad; while the man was somewhat reckless, he had a straightforward character that he found quite appealing.

This also caused Old Blind Man to suddenly feel disoriented.

After answering the Young Master's question, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It shouldn't be... Truly, it shouldn't be."

According to his own beliefs, Gu Kuang was the Young Master's biological grandfather, so it seemed wrong for his life to be cut so short.
