163: Chapter 163 Slaying the Man in Black: Zhou Yuxuan's Plan!

"You, what do you want to do?"

The man in black looked at the two Ancestors of the Gu Family approaching him, his expression filled with panic and terror.

He hadn't expected that in this colorless space, these two could move so freely.

"Hmph! To dare be disrespectful to our Family's Saintess, you've truly rebelled against the heavens!"

"No matter what force you come from, anyone who dares touch a member of my Gu Family is doomed to die, even if they flee to the ends of the earth!"

The cold voices of the two Ancestors of the Gu Family made the man in black's body tremble even more.

"Wait! Wait, I am a member of the Divine Court. If you kill me, the Divine Lord will surely come to the Gu Family in person to demand justice for me once he finds out."

The man in black cried out loudly and repeatedly.

He hadn't expected that he had simply sensed a dense power of the Immortal Dao in a void space that attracted him.

He had originally thought to plunder a bit, but he didn't expect it to be people from the Longevity Gu Family.

He had thought that during this period, people from the Immortal Longevity Clans wouldn't appear, and even if they did, they would only be low-status disciples of those clans, and no one would care if he killed a few.

But he hadn't expected to kick a steel plate; he had actually encountered the Saintess of the Longevity Gu Family.

This caused countless thoughts of regret to sprout in his heart.

"Hmph! So what if it's the Divine Lord? The Divine Court is but a small force; how dare you act presumptuously before my Gu Family?"

An Ancestor of the Gu Family spoke coldly.

Immediately after, he raised his blade and struck; the limbs of the imprisoned man in black were instantly severed.

The blood qi erupting from his body was likewise in a colorless state within this space.

"Argh!!!"

"Dammit!!!" the man in black screamed in pain.

Following that, the other Ancestor of the Gu Family struck out with a palm.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the man in black's Physical Body turned into a blood mist, and the crowd could no longer hear his miserable screams.

Right at this moment, Zhou Yuxuan suddenly took out the Soul Summoning Banner.

He gently waved the Soul Summoning Banner in his hand, and in the next second, the Divine Soul of the man in black, who had originally wanted to sneak away, was drawn in by a mysterious power.

"Wait! What kind of Magic Treasure is this? Why, why is my Divine Soul no longer obeying my commands?"

The man in black shouted several times; he found that no matter how he tried to run toward the outside world, he could never leave this colorless space.

A moment later, as his Divine Soul drew near the Soul Summoning Banner, a massive suction force emerged in the next second and swallowed the man's Divine Soul.

Seeing this scene and feeling the eerie aura emanating from the Soul Summoning Banner,

both Ancestors of the Gu Family couldn't help but frown.

"This! What a strange Magic Treasure, it even seems to be a rare growth-type Magic Treasure!"

"A pity, this Magic Treasure seems to have been eroded by some kind of power; it has been tainted with an eerie aura. If an ordinary person drives it, they will ultimately become a part of this Soul Summoning Banner without fail!"

"..."

The two Ancestors of the Gu Family spoke privately.

At this point, Zhou Yuxuan put away the Soul Summoning Banner, his golden pupils flashed, and the surroundings instantly returned to a space with color.

"Master! Are you alright?" After Zhou Yuxuan released the space lock, Pei Nanya was the first to come to his side and ask with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Zhou Yuxuan was in high spirits; his pair of Immortal Pupils had now grown to the Origin level, and his strength had greatly increased.

To trigger the Divine Ability contained within these Divine Pupils, he no longer needed to wait for a critical moment of life-threatening crisis.

Now, he could use these Divine Abilities whenever he wished.

At this time, Zhao Chungang and the others also approached Zhou Yuxuan.

However, their expressions were not very friendly; after all, they had been pulled into a space opened by a powerful expert without any preparation.

If those people had ill intentions toward them, they wouldn't even know when they had died.

Suddenly, within the originally closed space,

thunder and lightning began to clash, and countless terrifying bolts of lightning suddenly struck toward the white figure in the sky.

Boom!!!

At this moment, Gu Tianxin, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

The moment her Immortal Pupils opened, she absorbed every single bolt of lightning until the dark sky returned to tranquility once more.

"Heavenly Divination Immortal Pupil! It's finally activated!" Gu Tianxin said in a cold tone, her face as frosty as ice.

Following that, her azure eyes suddenly looked toward Zhou Yuxuan.

Perhaps remembering that wild night, the peerless aura on her body suddenly vanished.

Instead, she looked like an old wife seeing her husband after many years, her face full of bashfulness upon seeing him.

"Young, Young Master Zhou!" Gu Tianxin descended and spoke to Zhou Yuxuan somewhat timidly.

She was afraid that her actions last night would be seen by Zhou Yuxuan as intentional, fearing she would leave a bad impression in his heart.

But she couldn't be blamed; Zhou Yuxuan possessed Immortal Pupils, and her Physique was very special.

The two of them being together would surely generate a strange magic, and it was destined that something would happen between them.

However, only Gu Tianxin knew these things, and she didn't know how to begin explaining.

"Miss Gu, there's no need to worry about what happened last night. Let's just both act as if nothing happened!"

Seeing Gu Tianxin's troubled look, Zhou Yuxuan thought she was unwilling to follow him and spoke accordingly.

However, as soon as he spoke, Gu Tianlong and the two Ancestors of the Gu Family immediately showed looks of anger.

"Zhou Yuxuan, what do you mean! Are you trying to eat and run, to be irresponsible?"

"Young friend Zhou! A member of my Gu Family has never been bullied like this. I hope you can give a proper explanation for what you just said!"

"..."

At this time, after hearing what Zhou Yuxuan said, Gu Tianxin also showed a look of sorrow. She lowered her head listlessly, losing the Divine Qi she had when she activated her Immortal Pupils.

"Ah! This..."

Zhou Yuxuan was somewhat speechless. In his understanding, shouldn't people from these great families immediately show happy smiles after hearing those words?

After all, how could their small families from the outside world compare to these great families that had produced Immortals?

However, Zhou Yuxuan's mind worked quickly, and seeing that the expressions of the people before him were wrong,

he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Seniors, Brother Tianlong, you've misunderstood. I only didn't want to wrong Miss Gu."

"After all, Her Majesty the Empress once promised me a marriage. If..."

Zhou Yuxuan didn't finish his sentence; sometimes, it's enough to speak only half the words.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhou Yuxuan's explanation, these Gu Family members immediately understood him.

They were the Longevity Gu Family; even their daughters with the most ordinary status could not possibly be a concubine.

Much less their quasi-Saintess who had activated the Immortal Pupils?

The Ancestor of the Gu Family nodded: "So that's how it is. This old man understands Young Master Zhou's words. It is but a small emperor's decree; another day, this old man will have them take it back!"

Hearing the Ancestor of the Gu Family's words, a smile immediately rose in Zhou Yuxuan's heart.

It worked! His plan had worked!

As long as he pulled the Longevity Gu Family onto his side, dealing with Empress Donghuang Baiqing later would be much simpler!
