Before this, she could still sense this man's power. However, now that they have reunited, she realized that her father's power has grown even more unfathomable. He was now on a completely different level.
Grand Lord Hong Lian chuckled and his eyes were gentle as he replied, "I'm very lucky. I had already broken through to the rank of a Martial Saint before I had come to find you!"
A Martial Saint!
One should not underestimate a high-level Martial Supreme just because it was only one rank away from a high-level Martial Supreme!
Only when a person has reached this rank can he truly be considered as standing at the pinnacle of the mainland.
Of course, this was all within Gu Ruoyun's understanding.
Grand Lord Hong Lian's black eyes were as bright as the stars in the night sky. He had clearly seen through Gu Ruoyun's thoughts and laughed involuntarily, "Yun'er, don't you think that a Martial Saint is powerful enough? However, I want to tell you that once you've reached the rank of a Martial Saint, that's when the real world begins. "
Once you've reached the rank of a Martial Saint, that's when the real world begins?
Gu Ruoyun could not help but gasp when she heard this. Xiao Zixie and Qianbei Ye had never mentioned this to her. Based on her past life's perspective, a Martial Saint was already considered a peerless cultivator. Yet now, Grand Lord Hong Lian was saying that this was when the real world begins?
"You've seen the people who had tried to capture you today. I can tell you clearly that these people are not cultivators from the First City!" Grand Lord Hong Lian laughed bitterly and sighed exasperatedly, "To the First City, they are only the lowest of existences. Yun'er, the world is vast. What you've seen is only the tip of the iceberg. This is also why I've never been able to take my revenge after so many years."
This time, Grand Lord Hong Lian's words had truly broadened Gu Ruoyun's horizons.
Becoming a Martial Saint was the goal that she had been pursuing but now, it would seem that this goal was far from enough!
"Father, where did those people come from today come from?"
"They are members of the Lin family of the First City! They are also my enemies! " Qianbei Ye took a deep breath as a cold light flashed in his eyes. "This matter has something to do with your older brother's birth!"
"Older brother?"
Gu Ruoyun raised her brow as a sense of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Honestly speaking, she had no idea why her father and the First City had become enemies.
But now, it seemed that this matter had something to do with Gu Shengxiao.
"That's right." Grand Lord Hong Lian nodded. "Actually, I'm not too sure about the specifics either. All I know is that the Lin family had always wanted to capture your older brother but due to certain concerns, they were unable to go to the West Spirit Mainland. They could only ask my powerful second brother to help them deal with me before delivering your older brother to them."
A cold smile hung on Grand Lord Hong Lian's face at the mention of the Gu family's Second Master.
In the beginning, he had never thought that the Gu family would do such a thing. It was only when he was facing death that he saw through everything. Unfortunately, it was too late! However, he did not die because of this accident but Yu'er disappeared!
"The members of the First City had not succeeded so how could they have let you off just like that? And what are the concerns you mentioned? "
"The First City has its own rules as well. Cultivators at the rank of Martial Supreme and above are not allowed to leave the East Peak Mainland so they could only send Martial Honors. At the time, I had not left the West Spirit Mainland yet so I knew that your great-uncle from the Spirit Sect had secretly saved Shengxiao a few times. I then set my mind at ease and went to the East Peak Mainland to look for your mother. I've been gone for so many years and have never returned."
