679: Bring back more than a hundred people, the butler ancestor is coming

“A quasi-emperor from the Guan Family is about to arrive? Young Master Chu plans to deal with him personally?”

After his surprise, Yan Chengfeng sighed, “The distance between us and him is truly… insurmountable.”

“Alas.”

Yang Jiuxiao also shook his head helplessly.

The Five Elements Holy Maiden stared blankly, biting her tender lips, lost in thought.

The Tai Chu Holy Maiden stood beside her, lightly chuckling, “A person like Young Master Chu, his future encompasses the entire Vast Sky. The woman who can accompany him will certainly not be ordinary.”

As if intending to say this, the Tai Chu Holy Maiden said no more.

Honestly, which woman wouldn't admire a genius and monstrous talent like Chu Ying?

Regardless of his cultivation talent or terrifying combat power, he far surpasses his peers and shows the potential to become an Emperor in the future. The Tai Chu Holy Maiden asked herself, if she wasn't Yang Jiuxiao's Dao Companion, she would probably go to any lengths, even offering herself, to be with him.

But she was Yang Jiuxiao's Dao Companion, and she would not do such a thing, nor would she condescend to do so.

Of course, she also believed that even if she did, Chu Ying would not be interested in her.

The Five Elements Holy Maiden's heart was complicated, and she ultimately extinguished the improper thought that had arisen within her.

…

In the following days, Chu Ying did not stay on Yaoyue Star but continued his search.

Most of the Cultivators from Origin Star, if they were still alive, had traveled from the Starry Sky Ancient Road to the Xuanhuang Star Region. Chu Ying naturally took in every single one he sensed.

In a certain star lake.

Luo Chen, the Divine King Body of the Eastern Wasteland Luo Family, and Jiang Wudao, the Great Sun King Body of the Jiang Family, were jointly battling a wave of “pirates.”

“Kid, not bad. You have so many tricks and treasures. It seems your origins are not simple.”

A scar-faced pirate, in the Early Stage of the Great Saint Realm, chuckled sinisterly.

“Since you know, why aren't you getting lost?”

Luo Chen had a streak of blood at the corner of his mouth, his eyes grave but fearless, instead filled with an increasingly fervent fighting spirit.

“Hahahaha! I praised you a bit, and now you're getting arrogant?”

“If you don't hand over all your treasures, then die!”

A group of pirates charged forward, with cultivation levels in the Great Saint Realm and some in the Half-Step Great Saint.

They were low-tier pirates, far from comparable to the interstellar pirate groups of the Devil Star Sea.

Simply put, they were interstellar bandits, cosmic marauders.

After all, even in the Vast Sky, resources were not easily obtained. Rich cultivation resources and sacred cultivation grounds were all occupied by major powers and sects.

Some Cultivators found alternative paths, resorting to robbery.

“Hmph! Let's see who dies!”

Jiang Wudao was engulfed in flames, and a dazzling sun rose behind him. He was the Great Sun King Body, and now that he had reached the Nine-Step Saint Lord Realm, he was able to unleash the power of a King Body.

The taciturn him either explodes in silence or perishes in silence!

Luo Chen and Jiang Wudao, fighting together, although always at a disadvantage, still managed to withstand the pirates' siege.

“I'd like to see how long you two can last!”

“Wear them down!”

The pirates besieging the two also had no intention of using more powerful means, as that would incur greater losses for them. Anyway, these two certainly wouldn't last long. When they became lax and exhausted, that would be the time to completely suppress them!

However, they had no chance.

Bang!

A wisp of sword energy drifted over, sweeping towards these low-tier pirates.

“Young Master Chu?”

Luo Chen was stunned. Was this his brother-in-law?

Chu Ying nodded slightly and said, “You two, I'll take you to Yaoyue Star, to the Ancient and Modern Mansion.”

…

Until the eve of the Guan Family's quasi-emperor's arrival, Chu Ying continued to bring Cultivators from Origin Star to the Ancient and Modern Mansion on Yaoyue Star.

Besides Yang Jiuxiao, Yan Chengfeng, the Tai Chu Holy Maiden, and the Five Elements Holy Maiden, as well as Luo Chen and Jiang Wudao, Chu Ying also took the prodigies from Western Desert, Northern Plains, and Southern Border of Origin Star to Yaoyue Star.

Of course, there were also Cultivators from Central Plains, prodigies from Endless Sea, such as Eastern Continent Holy Palace, Nine Heavens Holy Palace, and so on.

Soon, the first batch of contemporary young prodigies from Origin Star, numbering a hundred, gathered on Yaoyue Star!

Inside the Ancient and Modern Mansion.

When the fellow countrymen from Origin Star met, they were all excited and joyful. Since leaving Origin Star and embarking on the Starry Sky Ancient Road, they had indeed experienced many hardships, and some had even fallen in the first leg of the journey.

After all, the starry sky was filled with many unseen dangers.

Interstellar turbulence and storms were one such danger.

Not to mention low-tier pirates, interstellar marauders, fierce bandits, and so on.

If not for Chu Ying's help, it would have taken them who knows how much longer to reach Yaoyue Star.

Once they arrived at Yaoyue Star and joined the Ancient and Modern Mansion, their cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

In the four peak regions of the Ancient and Modern Mansion, they found many inheritances, including those left by powerful predecessors of their Dao traditions. Besides Great Emperor inheritances, there were also lower-level inheritances.

As they comprehended these inheritances, their cultivation naturally advanced rapidly, and they also had access to a large amount of cultivation resources provided by the Ancient and Modern Mansion.

On this day.

Inside the Ancient and Modern Mansion, Chu Ying suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on a certain direction, as if a figure was rapidly approaching from that direction.

That powerful aura belonged to a quasi-emperor!

A powerful quasi-emperor, at least above the Second Tribulation!

“The Guan Family's quasi-emperor has arrived,” Sect Master Ren Xuming, the Mansion Lord of the Ancient and Modern Mansion, appeared, his face calm but his mood solemn.

“No need to worry.”

Chu Ying smiled slightly. With an supreme emperor weapon in hand, the Ancient and Modern Mansion had no need to worry about a mere Third Tribulation quasi-emperor.

However, the problem was that the Guan Family had been destroyed, with only the Guan Family's Old Ancestor remaining.

And the Guan Family's Old Ancestor, upon learning of this, would surely seek revenge for his Family.

If such a quasi-emperor, knowing that the Ancient and Modern Mansion possessed an supreme emperor weapon, chose not to engage in a direct battle but instead concealed himself and sought revenge in secret, then the Ancient and Modern Mansion would be utterly helpless.

As the Mansion Lord, Sect Master Ren Xuming couldn't constantly monitor him; that was unrealistic.

Therefore, the Guan Family's quasi-emperor Old Ancestor had to be eliminated, otherwise, he would be a ticking time bomb.

“Thank you, Little Friend Chu,”

Sect Master Ren Xuming sighed. Origin Star had truly produced an astonishing and monstrous Prodigy.

In fact, he had a hunch.

The person who would become an Emperor in this era was very likely Chu Ying.

Chu Ying shook his head slightly, smiling without a word.

…

“Finally, I've arrived here.”

Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan, the Guan Family's quasi-emperor Old Ancestor, sighed with emotion. He had never been here before, because after his Family provoked a powerful enemy back then, he had been hiding and drifting around within the Beidou Star Sea.

However, the remaining Bloodline of his Family came to this remote star region for refuge, joining a force called the Ancient and Modern Mansion, which had ties with many overlords in the Vast Sky.

Within this force, the Guan Family could resist those enemies, at least making them wary, and thus they survived to this day.

“Since my Guan Family has been in the Ancient and Modern Mansion for so long, now it's time for us to become the true masters of the Ancient and Modern Mansion!”

Grand Ancestor Guan Canglan's eyes were resolute and firm.

Besides wanting to seize the Ancient and Modern Mansion's supreme emperor weapon, he also wanted to obtain all the Great Emperor inheritances of the Ancient and Modern Mansion!

Especially the Emperor Sutras.
