169: Kill the Yan family ancestor

The fifth floor is the ancestral land of the ten royal families, and now it has been infiltrated by outsiders, immediately causing a huge uproar.

“Damn it, I originally thought the Extraterrestrial Demon only appeared in the Lower Realm, but I didn't expect it to infiltrate the core hinterland of my royal family.”

“This is simply a disgrace to my clan!”

“Kill! Even if we search every inch of this world, we must exterminate the Extraterrestrial Demon!”

“Quickly report to the Sky Palace...”

For a time, the situation even overshadowed the commotion of the Supreme Bone.

In a hidden corner, Gu Changsheng performed a quick calculation, burning his lifespan, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth: “Ancestor of the Yan Family... severely injured... very good...”

He slowly rose, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm, locking onto a certain spot.

“It’s time to end this...”

...Void Realm.

The Ancestor of the Yan Family spurted blood continuously, a large palm print hollow left on his chest.

Thinking of the battle scene just now, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Ten Profound Cave Realm Great Witches surrounded him.

If it weren't for the opponent's singular methods, excelling in Body Refining, it's likely that two people would have been beaten to death on the spot.

“Damn it! How could the Witch Clan's support be so fast...”

“Someone must be plotting in the dark!”

The gray-robed Elder beside him snorted coldly.

At this moment, his left arm was gone, and half of his body was almost a pulpy mess, his aura extremely weak.

“First, find a safe place to recover from our injuries...”

The two flew for a while, stopping before a barren mountain.

As soon as they stepped in, both of them suddenly felt their hair stand on end, a chill running down their spines, as if they were being stared at by a primordial beast.

Clang, clang, clang—

Sword Qi surged around the barren mountain, tens of thousands of Flying Swords appeared in the Void Realm, filled with a Killing Intent.

The longquan sword in the center emitted a dazzling cold light, and the power of a sword formation, like an abyss, descended from the Void Realm.

Suddenly, both of them felt as if a huge mountain was on their shoulders, their bodies creaking.

“Sword formation...”

“Which Fellow Daoist is this? This venerable one is willing to give up a vast amount of resources, please withdraw the sword formation, Fellow Daoist!”

The gray-robed Elder's face was filled with sorrow as he shouted fiercely.

What responded from the Void Realm were countless sword lights, rushing towards them.

“You want our lives, but you don't even show your face, you underestimate this venerable one too much...”

Thud—

The Ancestor of the Yan Family spoke with heavenly authority, manipulating a magical incantation, and spiritual light surged from his wound, sealing the injury. His aura steadily climbed, and the Flying Swords in his hand circled around him, forming a sword shield to protect his body.

Bang, bang, bang—

Countless Sword Qi dissipated.

The gray-robed Elder beside him also used a secret technique, looking as if he was fighting for his life.

Sword Qi gushed out, and in the blink of an eye, the entire mountain was shattered, and countless cracks appeared on the ground.

‘An amplification type secret technique? How long can you last...’ Gu Changsheng sneered in his heart.

Even if he didn't attack directly, he could slowly wear down the two of them with the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

A moment later, the gray-robed Elder was the first to fall, beheaded by the longquan sword, his soul extinguished.

The Ancestor of the Yan Family's aura weakened considerably, his body covered in sword marks deep enough to see bone.

“Damn it, you truly won't give me a way out!”

The Ancestor of the Yan Family roared.

Sword light flashed in the Void Realm, its power undiminished.

“You forced me!”

Gurgle, gurgle—

Countless ghost-like sword spirits surged from the Ancestor of the Yan Family's body, continuously devouring his flesh and blood. Soon, only a head remained, the resentment in his eyes almost solidified.

“Die!”

His blood-red eyes actually pierced through the Void Realm, seeing Gu Changsheng hidden deep within the sword formation.

The head gradually dissolved, and the sword spirits merged into one, transforming into an extremely thick, ghostly Sword Qi Dragon, killing its way towards the Void Realm.

This strike, burning all his trump cards, was almost comparable to the Late Stage Profound Cave Realm.

Gu Changsheng, however, smiled coldly. A Xuanhuang mountain range blocked his path, and he manipulated a magical incantation, causing it to grow with the wind.

“Suppress!”

Yellow Springs Mountain descended, directly smashing the Sword Qi Dragon. The huge impact wave, like a flattened eggshell, erupted outwards on the ground.

Rumble—

The earth collapsed, forming a bottomless pit several hundred miles in radius.

At the bottom of the pit, tattered clothes were faintly visible.

Gu Changsheng breathed slightly heavily: “A half-step Dao Soldier, the effect is indeed excellent.”

“It just consumes too much magical power...”

Upon introspection, his internal magical power was almost depleted, with only a thin layer remaining.

One must know that Gu Changsheng's magical power was profound, ten times that of others in the same realm.

“Let's go...”

Gu Changsheng waved his hand, and two Storage Pouches landed in his grasp. He turned and fled into Tian Zhu City... Shu Mountain.

Hall of Offerings.

Inside stood the sword soul steles of the Elders and True Disciples of the Shushan Sword Sect.

A Daoist boy with a Daoist bun was holding a broom, sweeping away dust.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of 'creak' came from behind him. Following the sound, he saw two sword soul steles crack, with countless fissures appearing.

The sword souls within rapidly dissipated.

The Daoist boy's face immediately turned pale.

Screams of alarm came from the Hall of Offerings.

“This is bad! Elder Yan Guishan and Elder Xuyan have fallen!”

Dong, dong, dong—

Three loud bell tolls echoed throughout Shu Mountain.

Except for the Profound Cave Elders in seclusion, all the Elders gathered in the deliberation hall.

Sect Head Ling Tianxu's face was gloomy: “Have you found out?”

Elder Sun stepped forward, taking out a book: “Yan Guishan and Xuyan were in the Qian Wu Secret Realm before their deaths.”

“Combining the scattered words from the Secret Realm.”

“It's highly likely that the Witch Clan natives were responsible...”

As soon as these words came out, many Elders below were furious.

“How dare they! A mere Witch Clan dares to cause the demise of two Profound Cave Elders of my Shu Mountain.”

“Sect Head, this is a provocation to the dignity of my Shu Mountain.”

“We should completely suppress and kill this world.”

“We implore the Sect Head to open the world, allowing our Shu Mountain Disciples to enter, slaughter the Witch Clan, and completely occupy the Qian Wu Secret Realm.”

Among those shouting the loudest, none was more fierce than Yan Xing.

Yan Guishan was the pillar of the Yan Family.

Now that he had fallen, the one most affected was Yan Xing.

Ling Tianxu's face showed struggle.

As soon as the Qian Wu Secret Realm appeared, he had quietly entered to gather relevant information.

He learned that that world was of no low grade, and the number of Profound Cave Great Witches was considerable.

Rashly starting a war would instead deplete Shu Mountain's Origin Qi.

He had originally intended to slowly conquer it over a thousand years, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Now, however, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot.

A hint of determination flashed in Ling Tianxu's eyes as he said to everyone: “This matter is of great importance.”

“The top combat power of the Witch Clan World is unknown, and there are many Profound Cave Great Witches.”

“A rash attack would only cause my Shu Mountain to suffer losses.”

“We should first dispatch a small number of Elders skilled in transformation to infiltrate the core of the Witch Clan and gather intelligence.”

“At that time, we can attack from both inside and outside, breaking through the Witch Clan in one fell swoop.”

“The Sect Head's words are reasonable.”

“It's just the choice of undercover agents...”

As soon as these words came out, many Elders looked down at their noses and hearts, remaining silent.

After a while, a voice came from the crowd.

“I'll go!”

Yan Xing gritted his teeth and stepped out of the crowd.

‘The Old Ancestor's Storage Pouch still contains ‘that item’... I must retrieve it...’

Seeing someone volunteer, everyone quickly made a decision. Many Elders began to enter the Witch Clan World one after another, transmitting information and heading towards Tian Zhu City.

Tian Zhu City, fifth floor.

Gu Changsheng began to sort through the two Storage Pouches.

Sword essence, spirit crystals, spirit fruits... countless items.

Especially the Ancestor of the Yan Family, who had the accumulation of an entire clan, his wealth was so abundant that even Gu Changsheng was quite surprised.

Suddenly, a section of bone, crystal clear like jade, caught his attention.

It felt warm and smooth like jade in his hand, faintly emitting a glow.

Its aura, however, was quite extraordinary.

“This is the remnant bone of a Yang Spirit Realm cultivator...”

Gu Changsheng's expression was serious, and black Qi surged into it.

After dozens of breaths, the remnant bone stopped absorbing, and a piece of ancient seal script appeared in his mind, forming a hazy map.

“Burial Corpse Valley... It's actually the ruins of a destroyed Yang Spirit Realm great sect...”

Gu Changsheng remembered that the Refined Corpse Zhang He, whom his Incarnation had killed, was from Burial Corpse Valley.

Unfortunately, at that time, he was contaminated by dao karma and did not obtain the map of the ruins.

He never expected to find it on the Ancestor of the Yan Family.

“No wonder this fellow could stir up a Refined Corpse craze... So it was a method obtained from Burial Corpse Valley... That explains it...”

The ruins of a Yang Spirit Realm great sect were a huge Opportunity.
