Xu Lian Demon Lord was speaking, but his mind had already drifted to the inside of Supreme Sect. This battle was about the millennial destiny of Wanyin Sect, even its rise and fall.
He could hardly wait to join the battle!
But before he could finish his words, he instinctively sensed a terrifyingly dangerous aura and glanced over subconsciously.
Everything happened too quickly!
Even he, a Great Cultivator of the Fourth Layer of Void Crossing Realm, couldn’t react in time.
In his eyes, a semi-transparent stream of air was approaching at an unimaginable speed, cutting through the mountains, causing the very world he saw to twist.
The disciples who were setting up the Array Platform in front of him all paused, everything seemed to freeze, except for the rapidly encroaching scent of death.
Boom!
A mass of air tore through the sky, striking the plain between the mountains, Xu Lian Demon Lord and a group of Demon Cultivators were instantly turned to ash, a bright light burst forth, engulfing the surrounding mountains and devouring everything in its path.
Above Mystic Valley.
Yang Ni, Li Ya, Bai Wu, and others who were in battle were startled, hurriedly distancing themselves, turning around to see a spectacular bright light in the sky, feeling a terrifying pressure approaching, causing their faces to drastically change.
Li Ya quickly flew towards the forest below, rapidly locating Gu An.
Gu An was hiding behind a tree, pretending to be shivering. Seeing he was unharmed, Li Ya relaxed slightly and was about to speak when a terrible gale arrived, tilting the forest backward and causing the mountains to violently shake.
Li Ya quickly moved to Gu An’s side, using his spiritual power to resist.
“What’s happening…”
Gu An asked through clenched teeth, his tone filled with panic.
Li Ya’s face was grave as he said solemnly, “Not sure, there might be Great Cultivators fighting.”
At that moment, several notifications popped up in front of Gu An:
[You have successfully taken 47 years of life from Xu Lian Demon Lord (Fourth Layer of Void Crossing Realm)]
[You have successfully taken 35 years of life from Zhang Zhongchong (Second Layer of Core Formation Realm)]
[You have successfully taken 42 years of life from Chen Duyuan (Sixth Layer of Core Formation Realm)]
…
A total of twenty-six people, with the lowest being in the Core Formation Realm, including two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
What a sin!
Gu An internally repented. He didn’t want to slaughter, but who asked these people to come near his Medicine Valley.
The wild wind dominated for a long time.
When the storm finally subsided, Li Ya stood upright, whispering, “It seems we can only hide in Medicine Valley now, danger is everywhere.”
“I told you so.”
“Come with me into the valley!”
Li Ya dragged Gu An towards the inside of Mystic Valley.
As they just entered the valley, Yang Ni descended from the sky, holding a severed head that was still dripping blood, with Bai Wu’s Nascent Soul hanging on her sword blade.
At that moment, her aura was full of murderous intent, causing the disciples in the valley not to dare to approach.
Yang Ni threw Bai Wu’s head in front of Wuxin and then flicked her sword, shattering Bai Wu’s Nascent Soul. She pointed her sword at Wuxin and said coldly, “Do you have any last words?”
Wuxin, terrified, turned pale and trembled all over.
“Stop!”
Gu An quickly rushed over, standing in front of Wuxin.
Yang Ni’s expression was icy as she said, “He belongs to Thousand-Autumn Pavilion.”
“But he has been with me for decades and hasn’t harmed us once. There must be a reason for his actions! After this matter is resolved, I will have him leave Supreme Sect!”
Gu An said through clenched teeth, giving everything he had, his words causing Yang Ni to frown.
Wuxin was touched; he dared not look at the other disciples and wished he could just crawl into a crevice.
Yang Ni stepped forward, her sword tip nearly touching Gu An’s throat.
Gu An glanced at Li Ya and shouted, “Senior Brother Li, say something!”
Li Ya, frowning, came over, pushed Yang Ni’s sword away, and said, “Let’s listen to him. The Demon Cultivator from just now clearly had a grudge against Wuxin.”
“Hmph!”
Yang Ni sheathed her sword and turned away.
Gu An then turned back to Wuxin and said, “I’m sorry, brother, but I can’t keep you here anymore. If you return to Thousand-Autumn Pavilion, you’ll definitely suffer. Find a place to live incognito. As long as you maintain a good heart, no matter where you come from, you can still be a good person.”
His words were solemn and heartfelt, making Wuxin’s eyes redden with emotion. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him.
Li Ya’s brow relaxed, and he sighed softly.
Yang Ni glanced at Gu An, looking somewhat surprised.
Hearing Gu An’s words, it was clear he had known about Wuxin’s identity, and it seemed Wuxin didn’t want to be a cultivator of Thousand-Autumn Pavilion…
Gu An helped Wuxin up and then let him hide inside a house to avoid being recognized by any Thousand-Autumn Pavilion cultivators who might come across him.
Li Ya looked at Yang Ni and asked via transmission, “Why have you come here?”
“Do I really need to explain?”
“Tell him I don’t want to fight for the throne.”
“But he said he owes it to your mother, he must pass the crown to you.”
“Crown Prince is virtuous and capable, also a triple Spirit Root, he is the perfect Crown Prince.”
“Saying these things to me is pointless.”
As they communicated through transmission, Yang Ni’s gaze continued to rest on Gu An, pondering something.
Li Ya’s transmission cautioned, “You better not harm my junior brother, or don’t blame me if I turn against you!”
Yang Ni ignored him.
After the attack by Bai Wu, Mystic Valley became solemn, with disciples gathering in the courtyard, whispering among themselves, all discussing Wuxin’s identity.
The crisis at the Supreme Sect continued, with battles erupting in more and more directions.
Gu An had been closely monitoring the Qinghong Sword at his waist, fortunately, it did not react to danger like the White Spirit Sword had.
An ancient hour later, no demon cultivators had come to Mystic Valley again, and Gu An couldn’t suppress his impatience.
He found Li Ya and informed him that he was going to another Medicine Valley, asking Li Ya and Yang Ni to stay at Mystic Valley.
Li Ya knew that the Medicine Valley in the Inner Sect was definitely safer than Mystic Valley, so he nodded in agreement.
This time, Yang Ni did not cling to Gu An. In her heart, naturally, Li Ya was more important.
Before leaving, Gu An left an Ancient Gold-Swallowing Insect in his room.
He had established a soul connection with each Ancient Gold-Swallowing Insect, which could keep him informed about the situation in Mystic Valley at all times.
After stepping on the Transmission Array Platform, Gu An quickly arrived at the Third Medicine Valley.
Upon arrival, he heard booming sounds from all directions, deafening, as he opened his eyes and saw dark clouds rolling in the sky. Although it was winter, there was a summer-like scorching heat permeating the air.
Seeing him arrive, Xiaochuan immediately came up to him, suppressing his panic, and asked, “Senior Brother, what should we do?”
Noticing that Elder Tian was still there, Gu An immediately felt relieved. He quickly threw a Life Span Detection and replied, “Don’t panic, trust our sect!”
[Lv Baitian (Nascent Soul Realm Nine Layers): 754/1560/3200]
Wow, he has advanced quickly!
Stable now!
Gu An thought so while wondering where Elder Tian’s absorbed spiritual energy came from?
He instructed Xiaochuan to stay nearby and not to run around, while he went to patrol the Medicine Valley.
As he passed by Elder Tian, he felt a very concealed yet powerful surge of spiritual power within his body, which secretly alarmed him.
Elder Tian was not absorbing nature’s spiritual energy; was the spiritual power spontaneously generated inside his body?
This feeling…
It was as if there was an entrance to an exotic world inside Elder Tian’s body, from which spiritual power continuously emerged, very eerie.
What kind of cultivation technique is this man practicing?
“Valley Master, with the great battle erupting, do not wander off,” Elder Tian’s voice came.
He turned his head and saw Elder Tian sitting under a tree with his eyes closed, his stature completely different from usual, becoming upright with an indescribable aura of a formidable being emerging.
“I’m just going to check on those herbs, I won’t wander off,” he said.
With these words, Gu An hurriedly left.
Elder Tian opened his eyes and looked at his retreating figure, his eyes showing a look of relief.
“With such a disciple here, how can I bear to see the Supreme Sect destroyed?” Elder Tian murmured to himself, Gu An who had run a hundred feet away heard this statement.
Gu An’s expression did not change, as if he had not heard.
He really cared about the herbs!
The fifty Core Formation Realm disciples guarding the Medicine Valley were all in battle, including Ji Xiaoyu and Gu Yu, and they were each facing multiple opponents, a somewhat urgent situation.
Along the way, Gu An quickly checked the herbs he encountered along the way, harvesting those that were about to mature to prevent them from being destroyed on the spot by the battle, which would be a huge loss.
During his journey, Gu An heard a high-pitched howl; he looked up to see a series of fiery red Qilins appearing in the sky, with the leading Qilin hiding a human figure.
It was the figure of Ji Xiaoyu.
Qilin Step!
With each step she took, her figure flickered like a ghost, and the fiery red Qilin collided with a Core Formation Realm demon cultivator, instantly crushing him into pieces, burning his Golden Core completely; it was tyrannically dominating.
Gu An felt that her aura and speed were no less than those of a cultivator in the lower levels of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Ji Xiaoyu seemed to feel his gaze; during combat, she actually glanced at him.
With the Qilin Step, her dual hands wielded swords, casting spells with the swords that made her unmatched.
Gradually, more and more demon cultivators rushed towards her, various spells attacking her from different directions, creating a tremendous momentum.
Ji Xiaoyu’s eyes narrowed, and a powerful wave of energy burst from her body, blowing all the surrounding demon cultivators several miles away, instantly killing the Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators on the spot.
She raised the treasured sword in her right hand, thrusting it towards the sky, a tremendous burst of spiritual energy following the blade, shooting into the sky, and forming a golden disk-shaped apparition with a diameter of over ten miles, showing various profound and mysterious runes.
With Gu An’s keen vision, he immediately recognized that the energy wave Ji Xiaoyu had just used was a divine skill, Heaven and Earth Path Gang!
Previously Jiang Qiong had stolen the Divine Power Collection containing Heaven and Earth Path Gang from the Ji Family’s anniversary, and Gu An had also studied it regularly.
As for the divine skills following Heaven and Earth Path Gang, he had not seen them before, but he could feel that they contained power surpassing the Core Formation Realm.
This woman’s talent and comprehension were truly terrifying!
Two divine skills in the Core Formation Realm!
Within the golden apparition, numerous golden dragon illusions burst forth as if a troop of dragons from other worlds had come, rushing forward to attack demon cultivators in all directions, causing them to panic and flee.
Some tried to resist with spells, only to have their spiritual power shredded by the dragons, following which they were struck by the dragons and swallowed whole.
Because it was an illusion, Gu An could see those demon cultivators being swallowed into the dragons’ bellies, where they were burned alive by a mysterious golden flame, leaving not even ashes behind.
After traveling ten miles with Ji Xiaoyu at the center, there were no more demon cultivators within a five-mile radius.
She had slain over a hundred Core Formation Realm cultivators and more than three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in one breath!
This was just what Gu An had seen; she had already been fighting for a long time before he arrived.
Ji Xiaoyu hovered in the air, holding swords in both hands, slightly gasping for breath, sweat seeping from her pale forehead.
She suddenly turned her head, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Following her gaze, countless indescribable demons and evil spirits appeared like a black sea from the horizon, densely packed and covering the sky, utterly uncountable.
In the forefront of the army of demons, there was a man in a black robe standing on a bone sword, holding a black flag.
“Ji Family’s Qilin Step, Heaven and Earth Path Gang, Heavenly Dragon Demon-Suppressing Form, you have mastered so many powerful methods at such a young age. If you are allowed to grow further, you might one day overshadow everyone else,” a chilling voice from the man in the black robe rose, followed by a terrifying pressure that enveloped all beings.
