At this moment, Lin Fan was about to break out of the Gu Family. The Gu Family Head did not intervene because he had already sensed the awakening of a presence deep within the Gu Family, so he decided not to meddle further.

Otherwise, even if the old man within Lin Fan's body were to resurrect, it wouldn't be so easy.

The 19th Ancestor lightly tapped his finger, and Lin Fan, who was about to escape, trembled and was directly immobilized in mid-air. The 19th Ancestor's mouth softly uttered a word of command.

Such a scene caused the remnant soul in Lin Fan's mind to be in turmoil.

"Master, how did the Gu Family's ancestor awaken so quickly?"

The old man was also shocked, feeling an extremely bad premonition. "I don't know either. These old fellows usually take at least five breaths to awaken and take action. I was also wondering why the Gu Family Head didn't intervene. It seems the other party had already arrived."

"Master, what should we do?"

However, what the 19th Ancestor said next made Lin Fan completely lose the will to resist.

"A Supreme Remnant Soul trying to cause trouble in the Gu Family, you're underestimating us," the 19th Ancestor said as he walked through the void, shrinking the ground to an inch, and appeared instantly before Lin Fan.

"He actually saw through the secret within my body," Lin Fan was utterly defeated, and the remnant soul in his mind was even more terrified.

The old man residing within his body also lost all strength to resist. Lin Fan's terrifying cultivation aura fell back to the Tianyuan Realm.

"Lin Fan, he has already discovered me. I fear there's no escape for me. No wonder the Gu Family Head didn't act; it turns out someone of the ancestor's level already knew I was here. You are a person of Heaven and Earth Fate; you won't fall so easily. I'll tell you all my inheritance," the words of the host flashed through Lin Fan's mind instantly.

Including secret cultivation techniques and potential cave abodes, as well as locations in the Dao Realm with opportunities.

They communicated for a long time, but only a moment passed outside.

Just as the old man in Lin Fan's body finished speaking, the 19th Ancestor pressed down with one hand, extracting a white phantom from Lin Fan's body.

The 19th Ancestor then placed the phantom into a jade vase and tossed it to Gu Tianxing. "Today is your joyous day; consider this my gift," he said before disappearing from everyone's sight. After he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief; this was a living Supreme.

Everyone in the Gu Family, including the Family Head, bowed to send off the ancestor.

The other forces dared not make a sound, only the sound of swallowing could be heard in their throats.

"This is a living Supreme."

"What kind of fortune does Lin Fan have, to have a Supreme Remnant Soul willing to follow him? If he hadn't come to the Gu Family, he might have truly risen in the future."

Without the old man, Lin Fan had no means of escape. The divine abilities fused by the system could only allow him to fight above his level, but he was almost killed by the Gu Family's Great Ascension Elder who had been possessed by Lin Fan.

Once again, a palm strike came.

A Great Ascension cultivator was already the top cultivator in the Xuancheng Dao Realm, and many sect leaders were at this level.

At this moment, a palm strike seemed like the collapse of heaven and earth, causing space to tremble. Lin Fan finally felt the power of such might.

There was no chance of a comeback; this palm strike directly slammed him to the ground, his body embedded in the rubble, covered in blood, leaving him with no ability to fight back.

"A wild brat, thinking he can cause trouble in my Gu Family," the Gu Family Elder was about to strike him dead when Gu Tianxing intervened.

"Elder Sun Xing, wait."

"Young Master Gu?" Elder Sun Xing asked, puzzled.

"Lock him up first; I'll handle this personally."

"Alright, someone, take him away."

As Lin Fan was dragged away like a dead dog, the wedding continued as planned.

Gu Tianxing also breathed a sigh of relief. Was it really that simple? How could this be a certain-death situation? With my invincible background, even if you have a system or cheats, before you rise, as long as I'm cautious, how could I possibly fail? The scenarios in those novels, to turn the tables, are one in a million, relying on various coincidences to succeed.

"Those thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, are just fantasies. Young people should not indulge in such dreams; it's better to live well without trying too hard."

This wedding held little interest for Gu Tianxing, but Yang Qingwan's Absolute Yin Body was something he couldn't possibly ignore. Without any cheats or systems, even if Lin Fan were to be killed, who knows if someone like Xiao Fan or Ye Fan might come along.

The incident of Lin Fan causing a scene at Gu Tianxing's wedding spread, but was ultimately suppressed by the Gu Family, leaving the world to sigh.

"A good seedling is just a bigger ant in the eyes of the Gu Family. Even if you're a Young Supreme, so what? How many Supremes has the Gu Family produced?"

Night fell.

Yang Qingwan sat in the bridal chamber, her hands tightly clenched, clearly worried about Lin Fan's safety.

With a creak, the door opened, and Gu Tianxing walked in.

Yang Qingwan's heart trembled. Was it finally happening? The thought of being with someone she didn't like, who was also her beloved's enemy, filled her with endless sorrow.

Her veil was lifted by Gu Tianxing with a wave of his hand.

A stunningly beautiful face was revealed, and Gu Tianxing couldn't help but admire it. No wonder Lin Fan fought so desperately; she was a thousand times more beautiful than any celebrity from his previous life.

Moreover, with her Absolute Yin Body, the attraction was immense, making him want to possess her immediately.

Yang Qingwan saw the growing desire in Gu Tianxing's eyes and instinctively shrank back.

"Young Master Gu, although we are married, today is the first time we've truly met. Could you give me some time to prepare?"

Even though Gu Tianxing was once a hot-blooded young man, not a saint, just an ordinary young man from society, facing such a beauty, combined with his now astonishing cultivation and invincible background, how could he not be moved by such a beauty that could also enhance his cultivation?

Gu Tianxing was not a saint, nor a villain. With such a beauty in his grasp, it wasn't his style not to act, especially when it greatly benefited his cultivation. Power was most important.

"Young Master Gu, you—" Yang Qingwan was startled as Gu Tianxing sat down beside her on the bed, pulling her close, his warm breath making her uncomfortable.

Recalling the rumors about this Young Master Gu, how the women he played with were left wishing for death, Yang Qingwan felt a desire to end her life. After all, she couldn't fight back, and perhaps death was the only way to find some relief.

"I advise you not to think of such things. If you were to leave like this, how would your Qionghua Sacred Land face the wrath of our Gu Family?" Gu Tianxing saw a hint of suicidal intent in her eyes.
