184: The arrival of the Evil God Clan shocked Qin Shouzhuo!

"Lu Yuan, you just wait! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river!"

Central Continent, Kunwu Mountain.

After Lu Yuan returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect with everyone, he immediately announced his closed-door cultivation.

For the next few days, the entire Sect was peaceful.

Until late one night.

"Whoosh—"

A cold night wind blew silently through the Kunwu Mountain range.

In the layers of the Void Realm outside the mountain protection Formation, a flickering black shadow was lurking like a ghost.

This person was completely shrouded in a black cloak capable of isolating Divine Sense probes, holding a dagger as black as ink that emitted an ominous aura.

Half-step Mahayana!

Evil God Clan gold-tier assassin—Shadow Fiend!

"This is the Qingyun Dao Sect?"

Shadow Fiend's pale eyes stared fixedly at the mountain protection Formation below, a cruel sneer curling at the corners of his mouth.

"The Formation is decent, but before my Evil God Clan's World-Breaking Awl, it's nothing more than a decoration."

"The Longevity Wang Family and Taihao Sword Sect paid a great price for your head. Lu Yuan, you won't die in vain."

He was just about to act, intending to infiltrate for the assassination.

However.

At the very moment he sacrificed the World-Breaking Awl.

"Buzz!"

Inside the main hall of Azure Cloud Peak.

Lu Yuan, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

Within those golden eyes, two vortices spun, seeing directly through the layers of the Void Realm and locking onto that deeply hidden figure.

"Half-step Mahayana?"

"Evil God Clan?"

"They came quite fast."

Lu Yuan did not panic; instead, a playful smirk appeared on his face.

"However, I don't need to take action tonight."

"Boom!"

Just as Shadow Fiend was about to touch the Formation.

A vast and boundless, terrifying pressure, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing, swept in from the western horizon without warning!

Great Ascension Stage!

True Supreme pressure!

"Who is it?!"

Shadow Fiend was shocked, his hair standing on end. That sense of mortal crisis made him instantly abandon the assassination, turning to flee.

But it was too late.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort sounded like heavenly thunder, shaking Shadow Fiend's Divine Soul and causing him to bleed from his seven orifices.

"A mere ant of the Evil God Clan dares to run wild in my ally's territory?"

Along with this aged and domineering voice.

A withered palm directly tore through the Void Realm, reaching down from the Nine Heavens.

This palm looked ordinary, but it was entwined with blood-red chains of Law.

Slaughter Dao!

"No!!!"

Shadow Fiend let out a desperate scream, desperately activating spatial secret techniques to escape.

But before that palm containing the power of the Dao, all space was sealed, and all struggles were futile.

*Puchi!*

Like crushing a fly to death.

That palm gave a gentle squeeze.

Shadow Fiend's powerful Half-step Mahayana Physical Body, along with his Primordial Spirit, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

Not even a trace remained!

A single finger flick, killing a Half-step Mahayana!

The Void Realm rippled.

An old man dressed in hemp clothes, with white hair and a youthful face, slowly stepped out from the Void Realm.

His entire body was surging with Killing Intent, yet it also carried a sense of newborn vitality.

It was none other than the Qin Family Old Ancestor who had just recovered to his Peak and even taken a step further—Qin Shouzhuo!

"Qin... Qin Family Old Ancestor?!"

"A Great Ascension Stage Supreme!"

Inside the Qingyun Dao Sect, the Sect Master of the Thousand Mechanisms Sect and others who had been alerted were so terrified that their legs went weak.

Such an existence is usually not seen for thousands of years, and today he actually came to guard their gate?

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for your assistance."

A clear voice rang out.

Lu Yuan's figure flashed as he appeared outside the Formation, slightly cupping his hands toward Qin Shouzhuo with a composed expression.

"Hahahaha! Little Friend Lu is too polite!"

Qin Shouzhuo laughed loudly, restraining his Killing Intent. His eyes were full of closeness and gratitude as he looked at Lu Yuan.

"This old man said that the Qin Family and the Qingyun Dao Sect are iron allies!"

"Since these rats who hide their heads and tails dare to come, they must be prepared to leave their lives behind!"

"Old Ancestor, please come in."

Lu Yuan stepped aside to lead the way.

Qin Shouzhuo nodded and stepped into the Source Heaven Yin-Yang Formation.

As soon as he entered the Formation, this Great Ascension Stage Supreme's footsteps suddenly paused, and a shock he couldn't hide appeared on his face.

"This... this Spiritual Qi..."

"A Saint Grade Spiritual Vein?!"

His eyes widened as he looked at the mountain range below, which was breathing out five-colored spiritual mist, and his breathing became somewhat hurried.

Even the Longevity Qin Family only had two Saint Grade Spiritual Veins as the Foundation of their ancestral land!

And here... there was actually one as well?

And looking at the atmosphere of this Formation, it actually used a yin-yang dragon vein as a guide to mobilize the world's momentum?

"What a grand move! Truly a grand move!"

Qin Shouzhuo was full of praise.

However, when he followed Lu Yuan to the Qingyun Main Peak and saw that Enlightenment Tea Tree rooted in the nine-colored divine soil, swaying in the wind.

This old fossil who had lived for tens of thousands of years completely lost his composure.

"En... Enlightenment Tea Tree?!"

"And... Nine Heavens Breath Soil?!"

Qin Shouzhuo rubbed his eyes, even doubting if he had seen correctly.

These were the legendary Earthly Spiritual Root and the Supreme treasure of the Earth element!

Even the top three Holy Lands in the Central Continent probably couldn't produce such assets, right?

"Little Friend Lu... you are simply too..."

Qin Shouzhuo looked at Lu Yuan with deep awe in addition to shock.

If his feelings toward Lu Yuan were gratitude before, now they were true equality, and he even looked up to him slightly.

This was heritage!

This was financial power!

No wonder this boy could rise in such a short time. With such Heaven-Defying Opportunities, it would be hard not to be strong!

"It's just good luck."

Lu Yuan smiled modestly and personally poured a cup of freshly picked enlightenment tea for Qin Shouzhuo.

"Old Ancestor, please."

Qin Shouzhuo picked up the teacup and took a deep breath, only to feel his Divine Soul clear up. That sliver of the Slaughter Dao he had just comprehended actually improved a bit more.

"Good tea!"

He praised and then set down the teacup, his expression becoming serious.

"Little Friend Lu, my coming here, besides helping you clean up these flies, is for another matter."

"Regarding the Taihao Sword Sect and the Wang Family."

"These two forces have lost Body Integration grandmasters; they will never let this go."

"Moreover, I heard that the Tianji Pavilion is also fueling the fire..."

Lu Yuan's expression remained calm upon hearing this, only gently stroking the teacup in his hand.

"Old Ancestor need not worry."

"Soldiers will be blocked by generals; water will be covered by earth."

"However..."

Lu Yuan looked up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Since the Old Ancestor is here, this Junior has a few questions I'd like to ask for advice."

"How many Mahayana Old Ancestors do the Taihao Sword Sect and the Longevity Wang Family each have, and what Transcendent Spiritual Treasures do these two great forces hold?"

It was true he had System intelligence, but if certain details could be confirmed by this living fossil, it would naturally be more secure.

Qin Shouzhuo was stunned, then laughed loudly.

"Good! Good boy! So you've already been planning to move against them?"

"In that case, this old man will tell you everything I know!"
