83: Chapter 83 Ancient Formation, the Shock of the Xiao Family Ancestor!
At this moment, within the Gu Family of Northern Mang.
In a dust-sealed ancient land, many copper coffins sealed by blood-red stones were buried here.
Among them, one copper coffin had already been opened.
This was the Ancestor of the Gu Family who had gone to Northern Liang to hunt down Zhou Yuxuan.
As this Ancestor of the Gu Family perished, a violent tremor suddenly erupted within this ancient land.
" Old Gu! He is dead! "
From among the many copper coffins, a hoarse voice emanated from an ancient one.
Soon, voices responded from many other copper coffins one after another.
" Who is it! How dare they kill the Old Ancestor of our Gu Family! Our Gu Family shall be irreconcilable with them! "
" This seat smells a familiar scent, the unique scent of that detestable Family. The one who killed our Gu Family's Old Ancestor is a descendant of that Family! "
" What! In this day and age, Saints are not allowed to appear in the world. Old Gu's cultivation at the half-step Saint Realm was already invincible under heaven. Could the Zhou Family have broken their promise publicly and sent a Saint Realm powerhouse to protect their path? "
" ... "
As the voice fell, this dust-sealed land quickly fell silent.
" No! It should not have been a Saint expert who acted. I smell the scent of a Saint-rank Cultivation Technique. Below the Saint Realm, the distance between any Realms can be bridged by Cultivation Techniques and Magical Artifacts. It seems the Zhou Family descendant possesses such a supreme treasure! "
As the oldest existence in this dust-sealed land spoke, shocking auras erupted one after another from the ancient copper coffins.
" A Saint-rank Cultivation Technique? A supreme treasure? Either one of these falling into our Gu Family would strengthen our power! Ancestor, we should go and retrieve that supreme treasure and Cultivation Technique! "
" Indeed! That Zhou Family descendant killed our Gu Family's Old Ancestor; he deserves some punishment! Although we are in the Saint Realm and cannot emerge, we can bestow heavy treasures upon the younger generation of our Family and let them retrieve these supreme treasures and Cultivation Techniques. "
Amidst the discussions, the Old Ancestors of this dust-sealed land seemed to have reached a tacit understanding. They each took out several of their personal supreme treasures and summoned the most talented individuals in the Gu Family to go and hunt down Zhou Yuxuan.
...
At this moment, within the Mist Forest.
Under the guidance of his own Old Ancestor, Xiao Yan was rushing rapidly in a very purposeful direction.
" Little Yanzi, speed up! The commotion outside has vanished; the battle must have ended, and that Zhou Family brat is about to catch up to us! "
A mouse cried out anxiously.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan did not want to be outdone and took out a talisman pen of extraordinary quality.
" Alright! "
Several profound talisman runes were carved out of thin air by Xiao Yan with the talisman pen, and then they attached themselves to Xiao Yan and Princess Wu Mingyue.
Immediately, their speed increased several-fold as they dashed towards a vaguely visible ruin in the distance.
" Little Yanzi, hurry, that ancient Formation is ahead. As long as we enter the Formation and activate it with that bronze fragment, we can head to the Central Plains. "
The Ancestor of the Xiao Clan seemed to sense a formidable aura rushing towards them from behind at this moment and urged them hastily.
Xiao Yan's speed was extremely fast; in a short while, he had rushed into the ancient Formation.
However, just as he was about to take out the bronze fragment to activate the Formation, a figure appeared before Xiao Yan.
In this figure's arms, a stunningly beautiful figure was struggling violently at this moment.
" Linger! "
Seeing the person clearly, Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily.
" Zhou Yuxuan, what are you doing? Come at me! Holding a weak woman hostage, what kind of ability is that! "
Below, Xiao Yan and Princess Wu Mingyue looked at Zhou Yuxuan, their gazes filled with anger.
" Yo! Miss Linger, it turns out your little lover is not simple. He only just left you, and already he has such a beauty by his side. It truly is a pity for your infatuation, Miss Linger. "
Zhou Yuxuan looked at the two, Xiao Yan and the other, his tone full of mockery.
" Hmph! Do not try to sow discord between Brother Xiao Yan and me. Brother Xiao Yan has me in his heart. "
Miss Gu Linger turned her eyes away, not daring to look at Zhou Yuxuan, and snorted coldly.
He naturally believed Miss Gu Linger's answer.
After all, in the original plot, Xiao Yan traveled everywhere for revenge, and his harem had more than a dozen members. Although he and Miss Gu Linger had the least contact, they were the two with the deepest feelings. In the end, this Miss Gu Linger even became the head of Xiao Yan's harem.
However, that was later.
At this moment, Zhou Yuxuan approached Miss Gu Linger and whispered in her ear.
" Miss Linger, tell me, if Xiao Yan knew the purpose of your approaching him, would his feelings for you still be so deep? "
Hearing this, Miss Gu Linger's face turned pale, and she looked at Zhou Yuxuan with a pleading tone.
" No, don't! "
Seeing this, Zhou Yuxuan smiled coldly.
Following that, a silver needle appeared in his hand; it was the Truth-Telling Needle he had obtained a long time ago.
After being used, the person struck must answer any question from the user one hundred percent truthfully, without concealment or fabrication.
This was originally kept by Zhou Yuxuan to deal with other Luck protagonists who had even stronger Luck, used to destroy the relationships between them and their partners.
It was just that now, seeing Xiao Yan's Luck recovering so quickly, he had the idea to use it on Miss Gu Linger.
Following that, he looked at Xiao Yan and said: " Young Friend Xiao Yan, although you and this King have some grievances, this King truly cannot bear to see you being deceived by other women. "
Hearing this, Xiao Yan remained silent, his eyes fixed tightly on Miss Gu Linger at this moment.
Because from the moment Zhou Yuxuan appeared holding Miss Gu Linger, to the scene just now where the two were whispering in each other's ears, it was truly too intimate. A bad thought had planted a seed in his heart.
" Alright! Miss Linger, please answer this King: you have lived in the Xiao Family since you were young and approached Xiao Yan; was it for that bronze fragment in his hand? "
Hearing this, Miss Gu Linger just wanted to answer ' No '!
But as soon as this thought arose, her face turned ugly, and her heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by a large hand, making her unable to breathe.
However, even in such a painful situation, while she was enduring the severe pain and wanting to answer ' No ', the voice that slipped out was that cold ' Yes '!
Hearing Miss Gu Linger's straightforward answer, Xiao Yan's face instantly turned pale, and his steps became somewhat unsteady as he staggered back a few steps.
" Young Friend Xiao Yan, actually, this King also came for the bronze fragment in your hand. What do you think is the relationship between Miss Linger and this King? "
As Zhou Yuxuan said this, the bronze fragment also appeared in his hand.
This bronze fragment emitted the exact same aura as the bronze fragment in Xiao Yan's hand, as if they came from the same object.
" This, how is this possible? "
Xiao Yan felt as if the world had collapsed at this moment; no matter how Miss Gu Linger explained it, he would not believe her.
Countless images arose in his mind.
The woman he trusted and loved the most had actually been arranged by the other party to be by his side since childhood, approaching him, making him obsessed, and manipulating his emotions.
Thinking about everything that had happened from childhood to the present, every scene of heartfelt, happy laughter was fake, all of it was acted.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a sharp, violent pain in his heart.
With a ' wah ', he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Seeing this scene, Princess Wu Mingyue beside him could not help but go over to support him.
" Xiao Yan, how are you? " Hearing Princess Wu Mingyue's concerned tone, Xiao Yan felt much better in his heart.
Just at this moment, from an inconspicuous place nearby, the Ancestor of the Xiao Clan, who was manipulating the Formation, suddenly shouted: " Xiao Yan, quickly pour your True Qi into the bronze fragment to activate the Formation! "
Hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan dropped Miss Gu Linger from his arms and said coldly: " Want to leave? How could it be that easy! "
As he spoke, Zhou Yuxuan activated the Emperor Sutra of Calamity, and instantly, countless terrifying, highly toxic poisons that invaded the Dao and the Laws began to spread.
The Ancestor of the Xiao Clan was, after all, someone who had lived in the ancient era and had witnessed the demeanor of a Great Emperor.
At the moment Zhou Yuxuan activated the Cultivation Technique, his eyes suddenly constricted.
He spat out two words, full of disbelief: " Emperor! Sutra! "
