231: massacre

Zhuge Qingyun, who was laughing heartily, was startled by the sudden loud noise and shrank his neck, his laughter abruptly stopping.

Looking out the window, he saw an endless expanse of black clouds.

A giant snake, thousands of feet long, shuttled through the black clouds, opening its mouth to swallow the wind and rain Qi!

On top of the giant snake's head stood a disheveled old man.

Lin Furen and others stood beside the old man.

The old man patted his Spirit Beast Bag, and tens of thousands of Spirit Beasts streamed out.

Lions and tigers paired up, green wolves formed packs!

Tigers roared, bears growled, cranes shrieked, eagles cried!

A host of Spirit Beasts followed the giant snake, treading upon the black clouds, each with fierce eyes, as if ready to devour anyone!

Zhuge Qingyun's expression changed drastically!

Someone behind him recognized the person's identity, their voice heavy: "Jun Family's consecrated, Myriad Beast Old Ancestor!"

Before he finished speaking, the war drums sounded again!

An old man with white eyebrows and a white beard, dressed in white, holding a whisk, and sitting diagonally on a green ox, arrived from the east on auspicious clouds.

Moo!

The green ox let out a long roar towards the sky, its body suddenly growing immense, like a mountain!

Its whole body glowed with a strong green light, exuding the pressure of a Peak second-tier Yao Beast!

The old man flicked his whisk, and a monkey covered in red fur appeared out of thin air.

With a few flashes of its body, it climbed up the thick ox horn to its tip.

Carrying a stick that resembled a withered tree branch, it bared its teeth at the Ding Hou Shrine below.

Zhuge Qingyun recognized the person's identity: Tai Shang Sect's Wo Niu Peak Old Ancestor, Yang Yijia!

One ox, one monkey, one whisk—when he was young, he suppressed the Five Continents Prodigies for sixty years, earning him the name Yang Yijia!

Zhuge Qingyun was precisely one of the Prodigies who had been suppressed by Yang Yijia in those years, unable to rise.

However, this Yang Yijia had disappeared from the Cultivation World after reaching Body Integration, and everyone thought he had died.

Unexpectedly, he reappeared in the world today.

Tai Shang Sect's Wo Niu Peak.

Zhuge Qingyun's heart skipped a beat; the old man who had been performing Zhuge Divine Sight was still shouting incessantly, "It's Gu Liangyuan! Gu Liangyuan is here to kill! Big Brother, run!"

During the time Zhuge Deng was missing, Zhuge Qingyun had not been idle; he had inquired about Zhuge Deng's whereabouts.

He had already concluded that Zhuge Deng was dead.

So, when his third brother said Zhuge Deng had the appearance of dying of old age, he didn't believe it. Therefore, when his third brother then said Gu Liangyuan would come to kill, he naturally didn't believe that either.

But looking at the appearance of Lin Furen and Yang Yijia, Zhuge Qingyun's heart also tightened.

However, before he could react, he glanced towards Yang Yijia's side and saw nine people neatly arranged.

At a glance, he recognized all of them.

Tai Shang Sect's Golden Core Peak, top-tier Alchemist, Yao Wuchen.

Tai Shang Sect's Wuji Peak, Wu Zheng!

Tai Shang Sect's Xuan Du Peak…

At a glance, all these people were from the Tai Shang Sect, Prodigies who had once astonished an era!

At this point, Zhuge Qingyun's face was ashen.

Although he didn't know how Gu Liangyuan had managed it.

But the people of the Tai Shang Sect had indeed appeared before him.

And that wasn't all!

Strange phenomena reappeared in the western sky, freezing thousands of miles, with snowflakes falling!

The Yaochi Six Elders stood with swords, exuding bone-chilling cold!

The weaker members of the Zhuge Family, once touched by the cold Qi, instantly turned into ice sculptures.

In the northern sky, a group of black-clad figures blocked the horizon, led by two Undergoing Tribulation cultivators, with dozens of Mahayana cultivators behind them.

Although they displayed no particular phenomena, their mere presence exuded an unparalleled sense of oppression.

In the southern sky, a red-haired youth stood on a lotus platform, holding a halberd with one hand, his Killing Intent shocking the heavens!

Sword Servant followed closely, with Yang Qiong and Lü Qingmei standing on either side.

Tianyi Old Man hovered in the air, protecting the eighteen warships behind him.

The moment he saw Gu Liangyuan, Zhuge Qingyun no longer held any trace of hope!

Madman, truly a madman!

Zhuge Qingyun couldn't understand.

How dared Gu Liangyuan do this!

This place was only three thousand li from the Divine Capital; bringing people deep into Ancient Mo's lair, wasn't Gu Liangyuan afraid of leading these Disciples into a desperate situation?!

He had never seen anyone like Gu Liangyuan!

Clashes between two major forces were normal, but didn't everyone usually resort to various schemes and tricks, never deploying troops unless absolutely necessary?

After all, fighting was not only thankless but also extremely expensive.

It was precisely for this reason that the Zhuge Family, after several attempts and realizing they truly couldn't do anything to Gu Liangyuan, finally prepared to send troops.

But Gu Liangyuan, after gaining the upper hand repeatedly, had instead taken the initiative to attack the Zhuge Family.

He couldn't help but recall the cause of the matter: it was simply because his good grandson had provoked Gu Liangyuan's Disciple.

And now, the Zhuge Family was about to face a catastrophe.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted it. If he hadn't spoiled Zhuge Yu so much, this scene wouldn't have happened.

Or, if after Zhuge Yu's death, he had simply pretended the matter never occurred, today's situation wouldn't exist.

But he knew it was too late to say such things; the most important thing was how to solve the current problem.

He knew that the Zhuge Family alone was definitely not a match for these people.

All he could do was borrow strength.

Find a way to attract the attention of the Divine Capital.

No matter how much Mo Emperor wanted the Zhuge Family to perish, he would not allow something like this to happen right under his nose.

If Gu Liangyuan led people to the gates of the Divine Capital and wiped out the Zhuge Family, it would be a slap in Mo Emperor's face when word got out.

With this thought, Zhuge Qingyun roared: "Breakthrough, seek aid from the Divine Capital!"

With that, the pressure of his Mahayana Peak cultivation was released. He grabbed his third brother from the ground and stepped into the Void Realm.

In fact, even before Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, other Family members had reacted, fleeing towards the Divine Capital.

These Family Disciples, accustomed to their comfortable lives, had never experienced such a life-and-death situation.

They used various methods, desperately fleeing for their lives.

Buzz!

Suddenly, an invisible light barrier sealed off the entire Ding Hou mountain range.

The next moment, those who tried to escape were all blocked by the light barrier and forced back.

This grand formation was precisely the Tai Shang Sect's second-grade grand formation, the Eight Desolations Imprisoning Demon Formation!

Gu Liangyuan had used this formation when he killed Ye Fan!

Gu Liangyuan swept the crowd below with his reconnaissance technique, then took out the Zhuge Family roster given by Lin Furen.

Comparing the two, he found that, except for a few women who had married out of the Zhuge Family, almost all Zhuge Family Disciples were present.

This caused Gu Liangyuan to frown slightly. It seemed that today he could only first annihilate the Zhuge Family; the remaining ones could be slowly killed later.

Bang!

The war drums sounded again!

Hearing this sound, the hearts of all the Zhuge Family members tightened.

They seemed to have guessed the purpose of these war drums.

It was indeed as they thought; as soon as the drum sounded, Gu Liangyuan, holding Mo Tan Kill, leaped down from the lotus platform!

The Nine Kill Sword circled his body, transforming into a swirling red light.

Behind him, Halberd Soldiers and Halberd Generals guarded his left and right!

As Gu Liangyuan entered the crowd, he was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep; everyone scattered and fled.

Wherever the Nine Kill Sword went, heads rolled!

Mo Tan Kill was wielded casually; from Nascent Soul to Body Integration, a touch would wound, a brush would kill!

Sword Servant appeared intermittently, constantly throwing fireballs to destroy corpses for Gu Liangyuan.

The others, at the sound of the drum, also unleashed their Divine Abilities and charged towards the Zhuge Family members below!

The Yaochi Six Elders besieged the three Undergoing Tribulation consecrated of the Zhuge Family.

As for the rest, Undergoing Tribulation cultivators fought Mahayana, Mahayana fought Body Integration, Body Integration fought Void Refining, and the eighteen warships launched indiscriminate attacks on the Zhuge Family members.

In their eyes, the pampered young masters below were like lambs to the slaughter; wherever the exploding elixirs landed, someone was bound to die!

This was a one-sided massacre!
