“Gu Zhicheng’s heart suddenly tightened. ‘How dare you! This is Tianjing City! It’s my Gu family’s territory!’

...

“Hehe!”

Mocking laughter echoed in his ears.

The masked individuals were closing in!

A flash of bloodlust flickered in Gu Zhicheng’s eyes. His robes fluttered without wind, and his fist swiftly struck out.

Boom!

Their fists clashed, causing a tremendous surge of energy that created a terrifying whirlwind radiating outwards from their center.

…..

The dazzling light was blinding, causing the other masked individuals who were spectating nearby to instinctively shield their eyes.

“Don’t let him escape!” one of the masked individuals engaged in combat with Gu Zhicheng shouted fiercely.

The onlookers quickly lowered their arms.

They watched as Gu Zhicheng, transformed into a streak of light, was about to flee.

“You have nowhere to run!”

Several powerful forces simultaneously attacked the fleeing figure.

Gu Zhicheng struggled to stand, clutching his chest, and witnessed the scene. His eyes widened in fear as he shouted, “Be careful, elder brother!”

Boom!

The overlapping energies collided, creating an instant where it felt like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was splitting apart. Pebbles flew in all directions, and thick smoke billowed.

People nearby were frightened and scattered in panic.

A dozen figures swiftly arrived.

They landed around the massive pit, their gazes fixed on the center.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a figure covered in blood and charred black appeared before them.

“Phew, fortunately, Mr. Gu wasn’t able to escape!”

“Big brother, are you okay?” Gu Zhixing staggered over.

Seeing the figure beneath the deep pit, covered in mangled flesh, his eyes turned red, and he howled in grief and anger, “Elder brother!”

“Why fight to the bitter end if only you knew?” one of the masked individuals sneered coldly.

At this moment, a slight cough sounded.

The body in the pit trembled slightly.

“Elder brother! Elder brother! You didn’t die? That’s great!” Gu Zhixin scrambled to his side and helped him up.

Gu Zhicheng leaned weakly against him, breathing heavily and laboriously.

Above the large pit, more than ten masked individuals stared at him indifferently.

“Gu Zhicheng, hand over the Universe Stabilizer!”

Gu Zhicheng slowly scanned their faces and said, “There’s only one Universe Stabilizer. If I give it to you, how will you divide it among yourselves?”

Upon hearing this, tension immediately filled the air among the masked individuals.

They glanced at each other with a wary expression.

“Don’t let him sow discord among us. We’ll figure out how to divide it once we get our hands on the Universe Stabilizer!” said the last masked person.

Another person nodded and added, “That’s right, let’s get the Universe Stabilizer first!”

“You want the Universe Stabilizer? Fine, as long as you give me 1,800 Xuanling Crystal Hearts,” Gu Zhicheng said, struggling to catch his breath.

He was severely injured, making it difficult for him to speak.

They weren’t afraid of his tricks, but they all scoffed at his proposal.

“First Master Gu, what do you think you can offer us now to negotiate terms?”

Gu Zhixin nervously supported Gu Zhicheng and whispered, “Elder brother, should we give it to them? Preserving our lives is the priority.”

If they didn’t hand over the Universe Stabilizer, it was clear that the masked individuals wouldn’t simply let them go.

“Looks like Second Master Gu has some sense. First Master Gu, learn from your younger brother!” one of them sneered.

Gu Zhicheng smiled amidst his labored breathing and said, “It’s my money that’s being spent, and of course, it’s me who feels the pain!”

“It seems that the Gu family head would rather have the pill than his life!”

The atmosphere turned deadly!

An invisible pressure descended upon Gu Zhicheng and Gu Zhixin, weighing on them like a mountain.

Gu Zhixin sat on the earthen pit, trembling involuntarily.

Gu Zhicheng’s condition was even worse.

Already severely injured, the pressure caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

With his hands on the ground and his head tilted back, he sneered at them. “You… Did you really think 1 would keep such a precious pill with me?”

The masked individuals’ expressions changed drastically.

“The Universe Stabilizer is not on you?”

Gu Zhicheng let out a strained chuckle, wincing as he grasped his wound. He inhaled sharply and coughed repeatedly.

If the Universe Stabilizer wasn’t on Gu Zhicheng, it meant that it had already been transferred a long time ago. They had discovered it too late.

One of the masked individuals wearing a purple robe with golden edges grew furious. “Damn it, since the Universe Stabilizer isn’t on you, there’s no use keeping you alive!”

A flash of white light appeared in his hand as he unleashed a surge of energy.

Bang!

Another beam of white light deflected it.

“Why are you blocking me?” the masked individual in the purple robe angrily glared at another nearby figure in black.

“If he were to die, we’ll never get our hands on that Ninth-Grade Universe Stabilizer from the Island of No Return.”

Realization dawned on the masked individual in the purple robe. “Are you suggesting we use him as a hostage?”

The masked individual in black nodded.

“Fine, let’s tie him up!” The masked figure in the purple robe flew down in front of Gu Zhicheng.

Gu Zhicheng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he suddenly shot forward.

The masked figure in the purple robe was caught off guard and hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself.

Boom!

A solid fist struck his arm like iron.

“All!”

The masked figure in the purple robe let out a scream and was sent flying backward.

The remaining masked individuals were stunned, looking at Gu Zhicheng with disbelief.

“Hahaha, dreaming of getting the Universe Stabilizer, aren’t you?” Gu Zhicheng laughed wildly, releasing a powerful aura that swept in all directions.

The others were shocked and stepped back.

The masked figure in the black robe questioned angrily, “Did you consume the Universe Stabilizer?”

Gu Zhicheng stood up slowly, feeling triumphant. “Why wouldn’t 1? Did you expect me to save it for you?”

Crackling sounds filled the air as if every bone in his body was roaring.

With his slow movements, his imposing presence became even more awe-inspiring.

The masked figures who had previously overwhelmed him now felt suffocated.

“A Saint! You have ascended to the rank of a Saint!”
