Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start

Chapter 33: Chapter 31 Reunion_1

In this moment, a boundless rage surged within Gu Chen's heart, and he couldn't contain his fury. His eyes were bloodshot, his sanity nearly lost as the majestic internal energy accumulated over more than a hundred years burst forth instantaneously, conjuring a fierce wind out of nowhere within the interrogation room.

Sensing this energy, Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise, his gaze toward Gu Chen filled with a trace of unusual interest.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Gu Chen was in front of Gu Chengfeng, sending the jailer with the branding iron flying to the side with a direct hit.

The last vestiges of his sanity kept him from using lethal force; otherwise, that jailer would likely have died on the spot.

"Uncle..."

Seeing Gu Chengfeng covered in blood, his breathing weak, Gu Chen trembled with an anger he had never felt before.

Gu Chengfeng lifted his head, and upon seeing Gu Chen, showed clear confusion. He spoke feebly, "Eldest Son... why are you here..."

At that moment, Liu Ningyuan also arrived. His face changed dramatically, and his heart pounded uncontrollably at the sight.

Hearing the noise, Gu Chen's head snapped around, his eyes still bloodshot and his eyebrows inverted in anger, as he pointed his unhidden killing intent directly at Liu Ningyuan.

Seeing Gu Chen looking so fierce, Liu Ningyuan's heart went cold, goosebumps covered his entire body, and he felt as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

If Zhou Qing had not been present, Gu Chen might truly have been unable to control the surging intent to kill, and he could have slain Liu Ningyuan right then and there.

He endured, shifting his gaze away from Liu Ningyuan, and acted swiftly to shatter all the shackles binding Gu Chengfeng with several clanking sounds.

Gu Chengfeng almost collapsed, his legs giving way, but thankfully Gu Chen was by his side to support him.

"Uncle, it's okay, let's go home." Gu Chen's voice was shaking.

Gu Chengfeng nodded, his face stretching into a forced smile, "Alright, let's go home."

As they passed by Zhou Qing, Gu Chen whispered, "Lord Zhou, my uncle is severely injured, I must take him to get medical treatment right now."

Zhou Qing nodded his head, indicating that Gu Chen could leave.

The main gate swung open, and Gu Chen entered, supporting Gu Chengfeng. When Xu Qinge and Gu Qingyan approached and saw Gu Chengfeng covered in injuries, Xu Qinge's eyes instantly reddened.

"Master, you..." Xu Qinge reached out and grasped Gu Chengfeng's hand, tears falling uncontrollably.

"Father..." Gu Qingyan reacted similarly, unable to hold back her tears when she saw her father in such a state, drops rolling down her lovely face.

On the way back, Gu Chen had been continuously transferring inner energy into Gu Chengfeng's body. Gu Chengfeng had regained some strength and, seeing his wife and daughter safe and sound, his eyes reddened as the weight on his heart was finally lifted.

"I'm back now, it's all right, it's all right..."

Gu Chen stood to the side, watching the tearful embrace of Gu Chengfeng and his family, feeling a sense of warmth. This was what family was about.

"Right, Eldest son, and the eldest son, if it weren't for you this time, I might really have been unable to return alive and never see you all again," Gu Chengfeng looked towards Gu Chen.

"Thank you, elder brother," Gu Qingyan said softly, her beautiful face still streaked with tears, but her moist eyes had regained their usual sparkle.

"Eldest son, thank you..." Auntie Xu Qinge also said with the tears, equally grateful.

Gu Chen smiled gently and said, "We are all family; there's no need for such formalities."

"Yes, we are all family, we are all one family," Gu Chengfeng nodded repeatedly and embraced Gu Chen in his arms.

Just then, Xu Qinge suddenly felt dizzy. The prolonged worry had drained her, and she had not consumed food or water. Now, overwhelmed with happiness, her body could hardly support her.

"Mother..." Gu Qingyan exclaimed in alarm.

Fortunately, Gu Chen reacted quickly, supporting Xu Qinge. With one on each side, his left hand supporting Gu Chengfeng and his right hand supporting Xu Qinge, he began to transfer inner energy into both their bodies.

"Eldest son, you have grown up..." Gu Chengfeng looked at Gu Chen. Less than two months ago, when Gu Chen first came into this world, it was Gu Chengfeng who had taken care of him. Now, after such a short period, their roles had reversed, and it was Gu Chen taking care of their family.

Gu Chen just smiled, not saying much, and helped the two of them into the hall, saying, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm hungry, let's eat."

"Yes, yes, let's eat, let's have a meal," Xu Qinge agreed and called out to Xiao Yu to have the kitchen hurry up with the food.

The young maid Xiao Yu, with a joyful expression, said, "I will have the kitchen prepare some good dishes right away."

Gu Chen nodded. Soon, the meal was served, and the family sat together, happily enjoying their dinner.
