Gu Lin Fang was once again, within the basement. The whole mansion was dead silent, people were either sleeping or treating injuries, but the tension was in the air.
Obviously, they weren't aware of Gu Lin Fang's actions earlier.
Now he was dressed in another Navy blue martial suit, with his hair packed neatly behind him.
He quietly sat down on a stool and spread out all the system rewards he just got.

Everything he got this time was rather valuable to him, but he decided to put them aside for now and tackle the Xu Clan issue.
He took a deep breath before bringing out the two corpses he had harvested.
Surprisingly Li Zhu was an external cultivator!, The fact that he had a Nascent soul had been what confused him.
The more he studied the body, the more he understood what was going on. There was a blurred line between an internal cultivator and an external cultivator when you get to Nascent soul.
"Does this mean that I get to Nascent soul when I cultivate in the two paths?." Gu Lin Fang wondered allowed before channeling his Qi into the corpse, "23 meridians and 8 accupoints unlocked? It's much lower than mine but...
Why is it all on his head?!.
might as well record it".
He brought out the scroll he used in recording Gu Ji Hung's meridians and accupoints before he began to draw Li Zhu's.
"It's perfect that he's an external cultivator, I only need to use a single beast cores to support it" He mutters to himself as he got busy and once he was done, he pulled out his cauldron and began refining the corpse, He placed the blood in a bowl neatly this time before focusing on the Xu patriarch.
Gu Lin Fang silently recorded the meridians for Xu Wu Qong as well and noticed it was focused in specific areas on his legs and torso, but ultimately the total was less than his as well.
'I'm on the right track'
"Looks like this guy is going back to my spatial ring, Tsk that's five corpses in there now" After storing the Corpse, He noticed a tiny glass like baby, silently glowing in his inventory.
'Nascent soul!' he brought out the soul and noticed that it was multicolored in an ugly manner, "this must be as a result of mixing multiple martial arts, maybe it's also why he's cultivation stagnated.
To think he wasn't even aware".
While he was busy, time flowed slowly and it was already daybreak.
That was when a surprising notification came up,
[Your reputation has developed into the silver category and you are now eligible for a lifeform upgrade...]
[Generating upgrade Quest...]

Gu Lin Ju woke up with a smile today, the feeling of having more clan members around, made the Mansion a lot more lively.
She quickly freshened up with the help of her maid, Gu Wei Jui.
She walked out hurriedly to find her father, but noticed a lot of movement in the mansion.
Her expression suddenly became cold, "Wei Fan".
"Young miss" the tall man bowed immediately with a surprised expression.
Gu Lin Ju's eyes trailed behind a strange warrior heading for the Hall when Gu Wei Fan's voice came from the side, "they are preparing to take the Xu manor with Lord Gu".
"Oh... your dismissed", She absentmindedly stroked her sleeve before heading for the Hall as well.
______________
Xu manor,
Main Hall,
A group of people and some old looking men were seated with a frown spread across their faces.
No one spoke for a long time as they all seemed to be waiting for something.
Apparently, the reason they were so ashen faced was because of the lined up corpses in front of them.
Earlier, they had been wondering what happened to their patriarch, when one of their spies walked in and startled everyone with an earth shattering news.
There were rumors of the Patriarch and his group already circling around, saying they were all wiped out.
And not only that, it was done by one person!.
So they set out to confirm this news but found the corpses of their people littered on the streets. They could already guess how devastating the battle was, because of the amount of destruction done to the place.
Unfortunately, there was no sign of Li Zhu or Xu Wu Qong.
Some believe that the Patriarch was still alive but was trying to recuperate somewhere, while the others believe that he was dead.
This lead to the situation now...
"This isn't what we should be worried about.... what are we to do about this Gu Lin Fang?!.
What if he comes for us?.
You know our clan had used a kill order on them yesterday, so..." A grey yellow robed man spoke worriedly while eyes the corpses on the ground.
But a voice laced with disgust soon came from the side, "you cowardly thing!, I say we go ask for an explanation!".
"Explanation? Their fight was with the Zhao clan but we were the ones who attacked and began killing their people!.
Like I said, we should have stayed out of it.
The Zhao clan hasn't even arrived yet to give support."
Immediately a woman dressed in a light blue robe, began wailing pitifully.
"Calm down Su Mei, your husband might really be alive.
You have to be strong as the matriarch of the clan." Another man consoled.
Unfortunately she didn't care as she began shouting, "revenge!, I will get my revenge!, I already sent a letter to my brother in Xuézhě sect (Scholars sect).
He'll bring his master over..."
"Scholars sect?!... That's all the way to Jiangnan, the Far West. It would take months to get back here" Another man says in displeasure.
"It doesn't matter, I for one think we ..."
"REPORT!!!"
"The Gu clan are here!"

Outside the Xu manor, a crowd was gathering on the cobbled streets as they pointed at an imposing carriage with the word 'Gu' on its side.
Men in navy blue robes with the same 'Gu' on their back, circled around the carriage from a small distance on horse back, glaring at the crowd.
Gu Yu Xing dismounts his horse and approached the carriage door.
When he opened it, everyone focused to see the person that killed the silver dragon!.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of slow footsteps came from within the carriage as an imposing middle aged man with dark looking eyes soon appeared before their eyes.
He arrogantly scanned the crowd before stroking the head of his cane.
"Let's go" was all he said before approaching the Xu manor.
