29: The ancestor descended from the sky, his face contorted with rage and ferocity.

But not long after Xu Fengyuan finished speaking, he was directly sent flying by a wave of Qin Guxu's sleeve.

"It is not yet your place to teach this venerable one how to do things."

After sending Xu Fengyuan flying, Qin Guxu looked toward Gu Hu, Lin Zilong, and the others.

"Ancient Heavenly Dynasty, is it? The Dayan Dynasty is already a vassal force of my Fierce Blade Dynasty."

"If you do not wish to die, then leave now; otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless."

Because Gu Long and Gu Hu were still hiding their Realm, Qin Guxu did not realize that they were at the Peak Saint King Realm.

"Interesting. The Dayan Dynasty has already been taken by my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty. Leave now, or else, you will be executed without mercy!"

Gu Long took a step forward, not yielding in the slightest.

Hearing this, Qin Guxu was stunned, then shook his head. "So you are just a brainless fool. In that case, die."

With that, Qin Guxu launched a palm strike toward Gu Long from a distance.

On the charge of disrespect alone, he could wipe out the entire Ancient Heavenly Dynasty.

After striking with his palm, Qin Guxu intended to leave immediately.

However, to his surprise, the palm strike failed to land on Gu Long and was instead directly blocked by him.

"What! You are not a Peak Great Saint?"

Qin Guxu's pupils suddenly constricted, and he finally began to take the person before him seriously.

Gu Long sneered and took a step forward, and the majestic aura of a Peak Saint King erupted from him.

"Who told you that I was a Peak Great Saint?"

Feeling that Peak Saint King aura, Qin Guxu's expression suddenly turned ugly.

Behind him, the Saints of the Dayan Dynasty who had been saved by Qin Guxu also began to worry.

Qin Guxu wouldn't abandon them, would he?

And the situation did not exceed their expectations.

After a moment of internal conflict, Qin Guxu cupped his hands and spoke respectfully to Gu Long.

"Fellow Daoist, it was my offense earlier. My Fierce Blade Dynasty is willing to offer an apology."

"Furthermore, we will no longer interfere in the matters of the Dayan Dynasty. Senior may do as you please."

Behind him, Xu Fengyuan's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly spoke up, "Senior, your Fierce Blade Dynasty cannot just ignore this! My Dayan Dynasty has already become a vassal of the Fierce Blade Dynasty, you..."

"Shut up! You concealed the situation to become a vassal of my Fierce Blade Dynasty, and I have not even settled the score with you yet."

"Besides, since you have provoked Senior, I shall deal with you on Senior's behalf!"

Qin Guxu did not give Xu Fengyuan a chance to continue; with a backhand palm strike, he blew Xu Fengyuan apart.

Looking around, the group of Saints were all too intimidated to speak, each lowering their heads.

Meanwhile, Qin Guxu looked at Gu Long with a polite smile on his face.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist is satisfied with my solution?"

If it were a normal power, when faced with such an obvious gesture of goodwill from the Fierce Blade Dynasty, they might choose to take the Opportunity to back down gracefully.

But Gu Long was different; he shook his head and spoke with contempt.

"Not really."

From the beginning, Gu Jixiao had told them all that if the Fierce Blade Dynasty dared to help the Dayan Dynasty, they would be swallowed up as well.

Now, Qin Guxu's intervention had clearly become the Opportunity for their Ancient Heavenly Dynasty to annex the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

Hearing this, Qin Guxu's expression suddenly turned sour, but he still forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart.

The opponent was already so strong, and their master behind them was likely even stronger; taking action would only result in more loss than gain.

"Then I wonder how Fellow Daoist wants to resolve this matter?"

"It's simple. Your Fierce Blade Dynasty, just like the Dayan Imperial Capital, must submit to my Ancient Heavenly Dynasty!"

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! If Fellow Daoist insists on this, then my Fierce Blade Dynasty would not mind going to war with your Ancient Heavenly Dynasty!"

Qin Guxu refused directly without another word.

What a joke! His Fierce Blade Dynasty was a leader among the Seventh-Rank Dynasties; how could it possibly submit to the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty?

The other party's reaction was within Gu Long's expectations.

And as it happened, this was exactly the reaction he wanted from Qin Guxu.

"In that case, let there be war."

"What!"

Qin Guxu was stunned, but before he could react, Gu Long attacked with lightning speed.

With one punch, he blasted Qin Guxu into the ground, leveling the entire Dayan Imperial Palace.

But Gu Long knew that a technique of this level alone was not enough to kill Qin Guxu.

So, as Gu Long raised his hand, a long flight of stairs appeared behind him.

"This is... Saint Dao Manifestation!"

Below, the Saints of the Dayan Dynasty's pupils shrank, and they spoke in a voice full of shock.

Under normal circumstances, the Saint Dao only appears within a Cultivator's Dantian; unless the Cultivator takes action, others cannot tell what level of Saint they are.

Only those with extremely powerful and profound cultivation can manifest their Saint Dao externally.

At this moment, Qin Guxu also rushed out of the ruins. Upon seeing Gu Long's Saint Dao, his pupils shrank, and a surge of fear erupted within him.

For no other reason than that Gu Long's Saint Dao was near Perfection, having already climbed to nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

With only one step left, he could master a true Saint Dao, and at that time, he could transform into a Supreme.

He had only just made a Breakthrough to the Peak Saint King Realm; his strength was far inferior to Gu Long's.

Thinking of this, Qin Guxu turned around to flee without a second word.

Never mind him, even his elder brother had only just climbed above nine hundred steps; there was a significant gap between his strength and Gu Long's.

But unfortunately, Gu Long would not give him that chance.

"Heavenly Light Flash Strike."

Gu Long's tone was calm. As he raised his hand, a screen of light flashed before him. Then, a surge of pure spiritual energy burst from the Saint Dao, passing through the light screen and instantly transforming into beams of light that shot toward Qin Guxu.

"Not good!"

Qin Guxu's face changed drastically as a sense of impending death enveloped his entire body, causing him to freeze in place.

A moment later, the beams of light submerged Qin Guxu.

At the same time, within the Fierce Blade Dynasty.

Qin Tiandao, who was playing with his concubines, suddenly stopped, a look of disbelief appearing on his face.

"The Second Ancestor has fallen? How is this possible? Damn it, could it be that the Dayan Dynasty intentionally became a vassal of my Fierce Blade Dynasty as a trap?"

Before Qin Tiandao could react, the figure of an old man descended from the sky, looking furious and ferocious.

"Damn it! Why would Guxu fall!"

The newcomer was none other than the most powerful existence in the Fierce Blade Dynasty, Qin Guxu's elder brother, Qin Guchuan.

"Old Ancestor, please calm your anger!"

Qin Tiandao did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly recounted everything that had happened.

"Old Ancestor, there is definitely something fishy about that Ancient Heavenly Dynasty. It is not advisable to take action against them now. We should unite with other Imperial Dynasties before making further plans."

Hearing this, Qin Guchuan's expression became even more unsightly.

He and his younger brother shared a deep bond; after thousands of years together, how could he, as the elder brother, accept being unable to immediately avenge his brother?

But anger did not cloud his reason; he also knew that the best course of action now was to do as Qin Tiandao had suggested.

However, the anger in his heart needed an outlet. Qin Guchuan struck out with a palm, sending Qin Tiandao flying.

After all, it was he who had given the order, so he naturally had to bear his anger.

Qin Tiandao crawled out from the ruins, not daring to say anything; after all, he deserved this.

He just wasn't sure whether the Ancient Heavenly Dynasty had obtained some incredible Opportunity, or if the Dayan Dynasty had teamed up with other Imperial Dynasties to set a trap for him.

But no matter what, a response had to be made; otherwise, where would the Fierce Blade Dynasty's face be?
