Chapter 2345: Chapter 661: Guh Siqi’s Request_5

He paused for a moment, glancing around, seemingly wary of something.

An Yiqing glanced at him, "This is Ah Lin’s territory, no one dares to make trouble here. Speak freely, I assure you a safe exit."

Guh Siqi discreetly let out a breath of relief, rose to sit beside An Yiqing, lowering his voice, "The Guh Family Technique is of a more masculine type, making it harder for women to achieve Great Achievement. However, my eldest sister is a martial arts prodigy, her strength comparable to many seniors in the family. But, the highest level for a woman cultivating the Guh Family Technique is Demigod Peak Early Stage; it’s absolutely impossible to advance further."

An Yiqing’s curiosity was piqued, "Why?"

"Because the Guh Family Technique is Yang-based, the stronger the cultivator, the more Yang energy required. Men fare better, being inherently masculine. However, when women reach a certain stage, the lack of Yang energy prevents further advancement. But, this isn’t absolute. If a woman wants to break through Demigod into Breaking Void to Divinity, the Guh Family has an evil Forbidden Technique."

Guh Siqi paused, looking into An Yiqing’s inquisitive gaze, his face subtly reddening, speech faltering, "That, that Forbidden Technique is unbearable, akin to, akin to demons. According to the Guh Family Forbidden Technique, a woman cultivating the Guh Family Technique, if seeking Great Achievement, must absorb more Yang energy from men. The fastest way, however, is to have intercourse with many men. Yet, those men who engage with Guh Family women, after having their Yang energy absorbed, don’t live for several years before dying."

An Yiqing was momentarily stunned; she truly hadn’t expected that this Righteous Sect, the Guh Family Technique, would be so sinister. Absorbing men’s Yang energy to cultivate the technique—wasn’t this seduction magic?

Guh Siqi shook his head at An Yiqing’s question, "Women cultivating seduction magic don’t necessarily need to absorb men’s Yang energy. Even if they do, the men won’t die. But women cultivating the Guh Family Secret Art, as their strength increases, require more men. Eventually, they can’t even control themselves. It’s like drug addiction, increasingly addictive—without it, life is worse than death."

Suddenly An Yiqing recalled observing Guh Siyi at the Guh Family Mansion in secrecy; from time to time, black fog appeared in her hands. Could it be the result of the Guh Family Forbidden Technique?

"So, you mean to say your eldest sister has already cultivated the Forbidden Technique, right?"

Guh Siqi nodded, "I don’t know when she started cultivating the Forbidden Technique, since only the Patriarch of the Guh Family can possess it. But I’ve probed Grandpa, who isn’t aware of it. Recently, my eldest sister hasn’t left the house, staying in her room training every day. I feel the evil energy surrounding her is getting increasingly severe."

An Yiqing bowed her head in contemplation; the last time she saw Guh Siyi at the Kang Family, her strength should have been around Mid-level Demigod. It seems, due to the Forbidden Technique, she was able to break through Demi-god Early Stage. Since cultivating the Forbidden Technique makes one’s strength advance rapidly, how powerful has she become now?

"Why are you telling me this?" she asked.

"I don’t know either, but I feel you can save the Guh Family." Guh Siqi wiped his face, eyes brimming with pain, "When I was born, my parents still got along relatively well, and my eldest and second sisters treated me well. At that time, I was ignorant, thinking the Guh Family was just like an ordinary family, full of laughter and joy. Later, when I grew up, I realized the familial ties were so thin. Grandpa only cared about fame and fortune, my parents argued constantly, and my eldest and second sisters were indifferent to me. Yet, I always hoped that one day the Guh Family could be harmonious like other families. A few years ago, my parents passed away, my second sister died at her own hand, and now my eldest sister has become neither human nor ghost. Grandpa has also become peculiar lately. I don’t understand what the purpose of the Guh Family’s existence is anymore. It’s like a demon’s den, a place that devours humanity."

He paused, lifting his head to look at An Yiqing, feeling somewhat powerless, "Miss An, I know my request is cruel, rather excessive. But, I still hope you can find a way to deal with my eldest sister and grandpa, to free the entire Guh Family."

An Yiqing didn’t expect the ordinarily dissolute Third Young Master Guh to have such weighty thoughts. To liberate Guh Siyi and Guh Tian—wouldn’t that mean sending them to their deaths?

"Young Master Guh, are you aware of the consequences of such actions? Justice over family ties could saddle you with a lifelong burden."
