The Good-for-Nothing's Counterattack: Full-time Spiritual Master

Gu Liqiang helped Gu Chentian up, the worry in his eyes not diminished at all.

She turned to look at the disciple beside her and ordered in a firm tone: "Take grandpa back to heal his wounds first."

The disciple nodded excitedly and hurried forward to support Gu Chentian.

He said softly: "Master, let's go back."

Having said that, he supported Gu Chentian and slowly left the battlefield.

Gu Li took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She leapt into the air.

She looked down at the Gu family disciples below and said loudly, "Gu family disciples, listen up and return home immediately to recuperate. I and the Shadow Guards are here."

"Yes." The disciples of the Gu family responded in unison.

They knew that everything would be fine now that the young master was here.

They are indeed exhausted now. Since the young master has given the order, they should go back and recuperate in preparation for the next battle.

Seeing the demons all over Lingtian City, raging in every corner of the city like a black tide, Gu Li frowned.

She gave the Shadow Guards quick and clear instructions: "Seventeen, take five people to the north of the city, Two Seven, take five people to the south of the city, Three Three, take five people to the west of the city, Four Four, take five people to the east of the city, and the rest of you, clean up all the demons near the Gu family."

"Yes." The Shadow Guards accepted the order in unison, then quickly split into several groups and ran towards their respective targets.

Gu Li had just reorganized the Gu family's defense forces and was about to set out for the city to check the situation. As soon as he took a step, he was stopped by a crisp yet firm voice.

Gu Li looked back and saw a woman in red clothes.

The woman had a tall and straight figure, like a plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow. She had a cold appearance, but her eyes were burning with a blazing fighting spirit.

She clasped her fists slightly and said to Gu Li loudly: "Young Master, I also want to go and clean up the demons in the city."

Gu Li looked her up and down, his eyes moving over her body as if they were real, as if he wanted to see through her.

After a moment, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm? Early Emperor level, pretty good strength, what's your name?"

"Disciple Gu Tong applies to join the war!" Gu Tong's voice was clear and loud, and after he finished speaking, he saluted Gu Li solemnly with his fists clasped.

His eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, a light that was a mixture of desire for battle and loyalty to his family.

Gu Li nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you take one hundred imperial-level disciples with you. Divide them into ten groups, and select a captain from each group, and you will lead them. Run away when you encounter danger, don't be stubborn."

"Yes!" Gu Tong accepted the order, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, and turned around to gather his disciples.

Demons above the Emperor level are extremely ferocious and must be dealt with personally by her and the Shadow Guards.

As for the rest of the demons, they can let the young disciples of the Gu family have some actual combat experience to hone their skills.

The battle around the Gu family quickly unfolded, and for a while the shouts of killing were deafening.

Under the leadership of Gu Tong, the disciples of the Gu family engaged in a fierce battle with the demons.

With everyone working together, the demons around the Gu family were quickly wiped out, but Gu Li knew that this was just the beginning of this brutal war.

She hurried to check on her grandfather's injuries. When she saw that her grandfather was not in danger of life, she breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went to arrange the follow-up matters.

Gu Li asked solemnly, "How many casualties have there been in the clan?"

Uncle Fu hurried forward, his eyes full of fatigue and worry: "Young Master, the disciples of the clan have all retreated to the mansion according to your arrangement, but 300 people were slightly injured and 67 were seriously injured. Fortunately, no one has died yet."

Gu Li frowned and asked hurriedly, "Where is Ling Tiancheng?"

Uncle Fu sighed, his tone heavy: "Twenty-eight small families were destroyed, no one survived, and more than half of the large families were killed or wounded."

Gu Li's heart sank suddenly, and he asked again: "What's the situation at Lingtian College?"

Lingtian Academy is the weak point of this defense. Although most of the students are in the Gu family, there are still many people in the academy, and where are those elders and the dean?

Uncle Fu shook his head, his face full of worry: "The situation at Lingtian College is not good. There are still many students who have not come out. The elders have gone to rescue the remaining students, and Dean Mo and his men have gone to the entrance to the Demon Realm to try to prevent more demons from pouring in."

Gu Li's eyes shone, and he said resolutely: "Uncle Fu, I will go to Lingtian College. Grandpa and the Gu family will be handed over to you."

Uncle Fu was horrified when he heard this: "Young Master, the situation at Lingtian Academy is extremely dangerous right now. It might not be appropriate for you to go."

Gu Li patted Uncle Fu's shoulder and said firmly, "It's okay. I have the ability to protect myself. Just keep an eye on the disciples in the clan."

After saying that, she took out a lot of precious formations, spiritual weapons, runes and pills from her storage ring and handed them to Uncle Fu.

"Take these things and distribute them to the disciples in need. I don't want to see any of the Gu family's disciples die."

Uncle Fu took the ring, looked at Gu Li's departing back, his eyes welled up with redness, his heart filled with relief.

"The young master is now able to protect us." Uncle Fu muttered to himself.

After Gu Li left the Gu family, he moved quickly around the city as fast as lightning.

Suddenly, from a courtyard not far away, cries for help were heard, the voices filled with fear and despair.

At the same time, she saw a street full of monsters wreaking havoc. They were baring their fangs and claws, leaving a mess wherever they went.

Gu Li's eyes turned cold, and a light flashed in his hand, revealing a long sword emitting a sharp cold light.

She swung her sword with all her might, and this sword contained powerful spiritual power, like a rainbow piercing the sun.

In an instant, the monsters on the entire street were cut in half by the sharp sword energy before they could even scream, and black blood splattered all over the street.

Gu Li walked quickly to the courtyard and saw more than a dozen survivors inside, all women and children. They were trembling with fear on their faces.

There were many corpses lying on the ground. Judging from their clothes and postures, it seemed that these adult men had died in the battle to protect them.

Gu Li felt a pang in his heart, and then he threw out a formation ball from his storage ring. After it was activated, a soft light enveloped the courtyard, forming a solid protective barrier.

She looked at the survivors and tried to soothe them in a gentle tone, "There is a formation here. Do not leave this yard. Wait for rescue here."

"Thank you, thank you!" The leading woman's eyes were blurred with tears and she choked with sobs as she thanked him.

Just as she was about to kneel down, she found that Gu Li had disappeared. She knew who Gu Li was, so she could only kowtow towards the Gu family, her heart full of gratitude.
