323: Find out the spy!

Gu Fei flew through the air, traversing layers of clouds and mist, finally returning to the familiar Ancient World.

However, when Gu Fei's gaze fell upon the distant Ancient Sacred Mountain Range,

Gu Fei's brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, a faint blue energy shield enveloped the majestic mountain range.

This energy shield seemed to isolate the entire Ancient World from the outside world.

“Hmm? Ancient Sacred Mountain Range, why is it sealed?”

Gu Fei muttered to himself, a premonition of ill omen rising in his heart.

As the Young Clan Leader of the Gu Clan, he knew everything about the clan like the back of his hand.

Such an abnormal situation must mean something major had happened.

Could it be that during his absence,

that Gu Yang, taking advantage of the clan's weakened strength, took a desperate risk and stole the ancient jade?

Thinking of this, Gu Fei dared not delay, his figure flickered, and he instantly arrived above the Ancient Sacred Mountain Range.

No, no, no, that shouldn't be!

After all, the Gu Clan still had Gu Lie holding the fort; stealing the ancient jade would be as hard as ascending to the heavens!

The faint blue energy shield was like a thin veil, enveloping the entire mountain range. Mysterious runes flickered on the energy shield, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

Just as Gu Fei was examining the energy shield, an aged figure suddenly appeared before him.

“Child, you’ve returned.”

The person who came was none other than Gu Lie, the Grand Elder of the Gu Clan.

Gu Lie's weathered face was etched with solemnity, and a hint of joy flickered in his cloudy eyes.

Gu Lie raised his hand and waved, and a crack immediately appeared in the energy shield.

“Come in, I have something important to tell you,”

Gu Lie said in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of urgency.

Gu Fei nodded and followed Gu Lie into the energy shield.

The two arrived at a mountain peak, and only then did Gu Lie let out a long breath and begin to recount what had happened.

“Child, you guessed correctly, that Gu Yang really did harbor ill intentions!”

Gu Lie shook his head and sighed, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.

“That fellow actually wasn’t trying to steal the ancient jade, but rather wanted to harm Xian Le and Wushuang!”

Upon hearing this, the anger in Gu Fei's heart erupted like a volcano. He clenched his fists, and a heart-palpitating aura burst forth from his body.

The entire mountaintop trembled slightly under this aura, and countless gravel rolled down from the cliff.

Gu Fei had long known that Gu Yang was a spy for the Hun Clan, but he hadn't made a move, precisely to make the Hun Clan relax. He hadn't expected it to almost lead to a major disaster. If anything had happened to the children, Gu Fei dared not imagine the consequences.

“Where are the children now?”

Gu Fei suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

“On your mountain peak, guarded by Caier and Xiao Yi Xian.”

Gu Lie quickly replied, fearing Gu Fei's worry.

Gu Fei nodded, his figure flickered, and he instantly vanished from the spot.

A moment later, Gu Fei arrived at his mountain peak.

Pushing open the door, he saw two adorable children sleeping peacefully on the bed. Caier and Xiao Yi Xian stood by, and seeing Gu Fei enter, their faces showed joy.

Gu Fei came to the bedside and gently stroked the children's cheeks.

Xian Le and Wushuang seemed to sense their father's aura, and sweet smiles unconsciously appeared on their lips.

Seeing the children safe and sound, the worry in Gu Fei's heart finally settled. But then, a surge of anger reignited within him.

“Gu Yang, I will definitely capture you with my own hands!”

Gu Fei roared in a low voice, a sharp killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Gu Fei's figure moved like a phantom, traversing various parts of the Ancient World, his gaze like a torch, scanning every corner.

In the sky, Xun'er was also leading the Black Annihilation Army in a continuous search.

“Brother Gu Fei, don't worry, I will definitely help you find Gu Yang!”

Xun'er flew to Gu Fei's side and said very seriously.

Her bright eyes sparkled with determined light, clearly showing her resolve to help Gu Fei.

“Mm, thank you.”

Gu Fei nodded gently, his tone much softer than before.

This made Xun'er happy, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

However, Gu Fei only regarded her as an ordinary clan member.

For a clan member to so actively help him search for Gu Yang, his saying thank you had no special meaning.

Gu Fei continued to fly back and forth in the sky, his gaze like lightning, scanning the mountains and rivers below.

Suddenly, as he passed over a secluded mountain peak, a special System prompt sounded in his mind:

[Ding, Gu Yang has a guilty emotion, emotional value +3]

“Gu Yang?”

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow, his figure abruptly stopping in mid-air.

Immediately after, System prompts kept sounding, all about Gu Yang's emotional value.

Gu Fei determined that Gu Yang was hidden nearby, very likely within this majestic mountain peak.

Thinking of this, Gu Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Dou Qi within his body instantly erupted. Around his slender body, golden light shone like a scorching sun, and countless golden runes circled and danced in the air.

“Break for me!”

Gu Fei roared, and his right palm slammed out fiercely.

In an instant, the world changed color!

A giant golden palm print appeared out of thin air, descending from the sky like a golden mountain. Wherever the palm print passed, the air twisted, emitting sharp sonic booms.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Amidst earth-shattering roars, the entire mountain peak instantly collapsed under this terrifying palm force.

Countless massive rocks scattered like meteorites, drawing arcs in the air. The ground trembled violently, mountains collapsed and earth cracked, and trees within several miles were uprooted.

Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring the sky and sun. The entire sky was enveloped by this dust, as if the end of the world had arrived.

When the dust gradually dispersed, a huge deep pit appeared before everyone's eyes. The pit was hundreds of feet wide, bottomless, and the surrounding rock walls were smooth as a mirror, clearly melted by terrifying high temperatures.

However, at this moment, Gu Fei still hadn't found any trace of Gu Yang.

“Strange.”

Gu Fei's brows furrowed tightly, his gaze like a torch, scanning the surroundings. Suddenly, his keen perception noticed that there seemed to be a faint, intermittent aura fluctuation deep underground.

“Heh, still trying to hide?”

Gu Fei sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He slowly raised his right foot, golden light bursting forth from his body, and countless golden runes condensed beneath his feet.

“Come out for me!”

Gu Fei roared, and his right foot stomped down fiercely.

“Boom!”

The entire world trembled. Centered around Gu Fei, countless golden cracks spread outwards like a spider web. The earth trembled violently, as if about to split open.

Suddenly, a scorching aura surged out from deep underground.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Accompanied by deafening roars, a thick pillar of fire, like an erupting volcano, shot up into the sky from the base of the fractured mountain peak. The fire pillar was entirely seven-colored, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

Wherever the fire pillar passed, the air was evaporated by the high temperature, forming a vacuum zone.

Even the surrounding rocks instantly melted under this terrifying high temperature, turning into molten lava. (End of this chapter)
