Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 909 - 912: The Guo Family Has Only One Line
In that instant, Guo Man gasped in shock at the terrible scene unfolding before her.
"Mom!"
A thousand cries stuck in her throat—all helplessness, heartbreak, and powerlessness.
She only wished her mother could be safe and sound. Even if she had to lose everything, she would willingly do so.
"Little Man, calm down! Aunt Guo’s energy is still incredibly strong!"
Although he couldn’t be entirely sure, Guo Ye instinctively sensed something deep within.
It was the intuition of blood ties!
Guo Man halted her steps, trying to move forward.
She also believed her mother would find a way to turn danger into safety.
Whooooshsplash!!!
All eyes were fixed on the duel stage.
At that moment, waves began to recede, and torrents of rain splattered onto the surroundings like columns.
"What is that!"
Suddenly, someone couldn’t help but exclaim.
Hisss!
Immediately afterward, the sound of countless people gasping reverberated along the shore.
Guo Man covered her ruby lips with trembling jade-like hands, her beautiful eyes staring wide in astonishment.
Within the sea’s domain, a figure clad in green stood with poised palms steady.
Besides being drenched head to toe, she bore no sign of physical injury.
Clap-clap-clap-clap…
"What exceptional skill!"
Duan Tiandao straightened himself from his chair.
This was certainly the first time he’d seen a woman display such mastery.
That heaven-and-earth-overturning move could be described as an Earth-Rank High-Level Martial Arts Skill.
Yet, Guo Fanghua blocked it entirely, astonishing and captivating everyone present.
Clap-clap-clap...
Following Duan Tiandao’s lead, the surrounding martial artists of the Guo family moved closer while rhythmically applauding.
They had never witnessed such a terrifying spectacle.
Each of them imagined that, confronted with such a force of nature, they’d have no ability to resist.
The power displayed by two Heaven-Rank Peak warriors likely required Path-Entering cultivation to withstand.
"A Half-Step into the Dao—Guo Xiao Lineage is far from weak!"
Guo Yan squinted slightly. Although Guo Fanghua’s complexion paled, she emerged from an attack of such magnitude without sustaining any severe injury, proving her exceptional strength.
Earlier, watching her activate her Inner Origin, the density and intensity she summoned had clearly reached the peak of Half-Step into the Dao—only a subtle opportunity separated her from advancing further.
Splash!
At that moment, two heads suddenly emerged from the water domain.
It was none other than Guo Li and Guo Chi.
When Guo Fanghua had overturned the duel stage, they’d lost control and plunged directly into the seawater.
"You’ve lost."
Looking at their astonished faces, Guo Fanghua softly declared.
The pair exchanged a smile; it didn’t matter anymore whether they had won or lost.
To stand upright was proof enough of her strength.
"Splendid! Magnificent!"
At that moment, Guo Gang stepped onto the platform, sweeping his gaze across the crowd.
"I hereby declare the Heaven-Rank Warrior tournament—Guo Fanghua victorious!"
"Hooray! Aunt Guo won!"
"I always knew Sister Guo wouldn’t let us down!"
"How wonderful!"
"Now, Guo Xiao Lineage can undoubtedly rank second among the three strongest lineages!"
...
The clansmen of Guo Xiao Lineage erupted into jubilant discussion.
However, they failed to notice the sneering smiles on the faces of the martial artists from Guo Gang Lineage.
It was as if they were saying, "The real drama hasn’t started yet—don’t celebrate too soon!"
"Great Elder, what do you mean by this?"
As the voices of celebration started to weaken, Guo Fanghua furrowed her brows and stared at Guo Gang.
"Hmm?"
This single question left the members of Guo Xiao Lineage entirely baffled.
"Brother Guo Ye, why is my mom asking something like this?"
Guo Man couldn’t understand either; something felt amiss.
Guo Ye’s expression had already darkened to the extreme.
Others couldn’t discern it, but he could grasp the hidden implication within Guo Gang’s words.
"The Great Elder’s meaning is—Aunt Guo has won, but it doesn’t mean that Guo Xiao Lineage has won."
"What…"
Receiving this explanation, Guo Man stared blankly.
"Do you not understand yet? Guo Xiao Lineage hasn’t produced a single Path-Entering cultivator for over a decade. If we allow you to remain one of the strongest lineages, won’t the Guo family start to decay?"
Guo Gang’s icy gaze fixed upon Guo Fanghua.
"Grandpa Guo Xiao merely went out to explore the world—does his absence mean that his descendants must lose everything that rightfully belongs to them?"
Guo Fanghua showed no fear toward the Great Elder. If he dared to lay everything bare in front of the clan, she had every reason to oppose him publicly.
"This!"
"Disgraceful!"
...
As the martial artists of Guo Xiao Lineage attempted to speak up in heated discussion, Guo Gang released a slight pressure that immediately compelled them into silence.
When the leader speaks, underlings have no place to interrupt.
"Do you truly believe Guo Xiao is merely exploring the world?"
"Oh? Does the Great Elder possess other knowledge?"
"Let me tell you—the truth is, Brother Guo Xiao passed away ten years ago. The reason his lineage has survived until now is due to an agreement between him and me: ten years. If within that time no Path-Entering warrior emerges, Guo Xiao Lineage shall be dissolved."
Guo Gang’s cold eyes locked onto Guo Fanghua.
The ten-year pact had already expired two years ago. Guo Xiao Lineage had been granted additional time, but no Path-Entering warrior had arisen. What other course of action could Guo Gang take?
His words struck Guo Fanghua like a lightning bolt, leaving her frozen in place.
Guo Xiao had already passed away ten years ago…
Even the clansmen of Guo Xiao Lineage stared blankly, as though they’d been struck dumb.
The faith they held, the convictions they had clung to—all reduced to nothing.
"Yet I never expected Brother Guo Xiao to have such a descendant as you. Half-Step into the Dao—perhaps if you were given ten more years, you might advance into Path-Entering cultivation."
"I refuse to believe it!"
Guo Fanghua bit down on her pearl white teeth, her defiant gaze fixing on Guo Gang.
She had grown up under Grandpa Guo Xiao’s loving care.
Even when she rejected his guidance in her youth, he hadn’t punished her. Instead, he chose to accept and ultimately support her decisions.
She vividly remembered the year she returned to the clan with her daughter, only for relatives to tell her Grandpa Guo Xiao had departed to explore the world, his return date unknown.
She hadn’t given it a second thought—the path of a Path-Entering warrior frequently involved such journeys. It was commonplace.
But now, Guo Gang claimed her grandfather had passed away ten years ago. How could she possibly accept this?
"If you refuse to believe, that changes nothing. The agreement with Brother Guo Xiao has expired—his lineage failed to produce a Path-Entering warrior, so by family rules, the strongest three lineages shall be reduced to two starting today!"
"No!"
"Ancestor Guo Xiao!"
"Aunt Guo!"
As Guo Gang announced the decision, tears flowed freely among the descendants of Guo Xiao Lineage.
The title of one of the three strongest lineages symbolized not just status but also access to cultivation resources.
If reduced to an ordinary branch lineage, the warriors within it would find their growth stunted significantly.
Whether a Path-Entering warrior would ever emerge in the future might now depend solely on fate.
Guo Fanghua stood motionless, hearing none of what Guo Gang said thereafter.
Her mind echoed a single refrain: Grandpa Guo Xiao isn’t dead—he isn’t dead.
"Next, I have another announcement. Starting today, the Guo family shall have neither three strongest lineages nor two—there will be only one pure lineage!"
Hmm?
This declaration left all Guo family members puzzled…
