SFS Chapter 178 Night Raid on the Ancient Island
Chapter 178 Night Raid on the Ancient Island
Inside the floating island cave in Meteor City, gray-haired Chen Xu sat cross-legged.
The afterglow of the setting sun outside the window shone through the light curtain, casting dappled shadows on his face, but it could not dispel the cold killing intent deep in his eyes.
"The Gu family... Gu Yuan..." he murmured to himself, a red glint flashing in his eyes.
The arrogance and humiliation inflicted by Gu Yuan within the Chamber of Commerce were still fresh in his mind; he would never let this matter rest.
Rather than waiting for the Gu family to use underhanded tactics, it's better to take the initiative and eliminate them completely.
With a slight thought, he created a disguised, pay-to-win training clone.
Instantly, the clone opened its eyes, turned around and left the floating island cave, using the Meteor City teleportation array to travel to a port island near the territory of the Ancient Family in the Inner Sea.
Then, piloting a low-level flying boat, they sped towards the brightly lit ancient island.
As the Gu family's main base, the ancient island is quite large, with dense arrays of spiritual energy and strict security.
At this moment, in a luxurious courtyard of the Gu family mansion.
Gu Yuan was leaning back on a soft couch covered with animal skins, his face gloomy, toying with a jade pendant in his hand.
A servant at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage was kneeling before him, reporting tremblingly:
"Young Master... the person we sent to inquire about the Crimson Flame Crystal has returned..."
"The report says that the shipment was intercepted by the Sea Shark Gang beforehand. They've spread the word that if the Gu family wants it, they'll have to pay an additional 30% in spirit stones..."
"Useless! A bunch of useless trash!" Gu Yuan slammed the jade pendant in his hand to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
"What are the Sea Shark Gang? How dare they challenge my Gu family? Crimson Flame Crystals are something I desperately need for refining weapons! They're slapping me in the face! Slapping the Gu family in the face!"
His chest heaved violently, clearly furious at the news.
Immediately afterwards, the images of the humiliation I suffered at the Chamber of Commerce today resurfaced in my mind, like adding fuel to the fire.
He mixed his anger towards the Sea Shark Gang with his hatred for Chen Xu, and roared through gritted teeth:
"That old scoundrel Zhou Caisheng, relying on the power of the Meteorite Chamber of Commerce, dared to publicly humiliate my Gu family!"
"And that damn gray-haired bastard, hiding his face! Does he think he's safe just because he's under the protection of the Chamber of Commerce?"
Naive! Once I've dealt with those bastards from the Sea Shark Gang, I'll be free to drag him out, skin him alive, and tear him apart!
Let him know the consequences of offending the Gu family!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. From childhood to adulthood, had no one ever dared to treat him like this?
Just as Gu Yuan was venting his anger and fantasizing about how to torture Chen Xu and the Sea Shark Gang.
An indescribable chill suddenly enveloped the entire ancient island.
"Hmm?" The early-stage Core Formation guard beside Gu Yuan was the first to become alert. He suddenly stood up, his expression changed drastically, and his powerful divine sense instantly swept in all directions.
"Who dares to trespass on the Gu family's sacred grounds? Show yourself!"
In the next instant, the space in the core area of the Gu family mansion seemed to distort slightly.
An invisible domain suddenly descended, which was Xiaoyun's [Ghost Domain Suppressing Spirit Emblem].
hum...
The dull hum seemed to act directly on the soul.
Under the influence of the domain, all cultivators within the Gu family mansion instantly felt their spiritual energy flow become sluggish.
The guard, who was in the early stage of Core Formation, turned deathly pale.
He felt an irresistible force slam into his dantian, causing his cultivation level to plummet to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
"No...this is impossible! Cultivation suppression?!" He screamed, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.
A domain capable of suppressing the cultivation of a Core Formation cultivator... could this be the work of a Nascent Soul cultivator?!
"Proving Immortality Through Hextech Runes": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!
The other guards and servants in the courtyard were pinned to the ground as if by an invisible mountain, unable to move, terrified to the extreme.
Gu Yuan also felt a chill all over his body, and his cultivation level dropped to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Who?! Who is it?! How dare you touch me! My father is Gu Xuan! A cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage! He won't let you get away with this!"
Gu Yuan screamed fiercely, trying to intimidate the enemy by invoking his father's name, but his voice trembled uncontrollably.
"Perfected Core Formation? In the end, he's just a cultivator who has reached the Single Core Formation stage." A cold female voice echoed in the courtyard.
The moment the sound rang out, a figure dressed in a green robe appeared silently in the center of the courtyard.
The moonlight seemed to distort around her, outlining only a blurry and dangerous silhouette.
Within Qingling's embrace, the phantom of the two-tailed cloud fox flickered slightly, maintaining the vast ghost domain.
"Anyone who insults my senior brother shall die!"
Qingling's gaze, like a cold, sharp sword, instantly locked onto Gu Yuan, whose face was filled with terror.
That look was as if he were looking at a dead person.
Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Qingling lightly raised her hand and flicked her finger in the direction of Gu Yuan.
A condensed, bluish-gray gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, emitting a mournful wail.
Its speed was so fast that it ignored the distance in space and instantly reached Gu Yuan.
In the eerie wind, countless tiny wind blades gleamed with a deadly cold light, carrying a chilling aura that tore at the soul.
"Young Master, be careful!" The guard, whose cultivation had been suppressed to the late Foundation Establishment stage, was furious and instinctively tried to rush forward to stop him.
But at this moment, he has only one-tenth of his cultivation left, so how could he possibly make it in time?
Gu Yuan only saw a bluish-gray shadow of death rapidly enlarging in his pupils.
He didn't even have time to beg for mercy; he only let out a short, extremely terrified scream: "No!!!"
scoff!
The bluish-gray wind passed through Gu Yuan's body without any hindrance.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The fear on Gu Yuan's face froze completely, and his body stiffened on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, his skin, like weathered sandstone, silently crumbled away inch by inch, leaving not a trace of blood.
Gu Yuan, the direct descendant of the Gu family and a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was completely wiped out by a gust of yin wind in the courtyard of his own mansion, his body and soul annihilated.
"Yuan'er!!!"
At the very instant that Gu Yuan turned to dust, a violent aura suddenly erupted from the depths of the Gu family mansion.
Its powerful divine sense instantly broke through layers of restrictions and locked onto Qingling in the courtyard.
"You wicked creature! How dare you kill my son! I will make you pay with your life!!" Accompanied by a deafening roar, a crimson streak of light tore through the night sky like a meteor.
With a terrifying power capable of burning everything in its path, it fiercely attacked the courtyard where Qingling was located.
It was none other than the patriarch of the Gu family, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, Gu Xuan.
However, at this moment, his powerful aura, under the suppression of the Ghost Domain, plummeted to the mid-stage of the final stage.
Qingling showed no fear in the face of the earth-shattering crimson light.
The illusory cloud in her arms suddenly let out a sharp sound.
An invisible shockwave of the soul suddenly spread out from Xiaoyun.
The stun effect of the [Ghost Domain Spirit Suppression Emblem] is activated! Spirit Suppression Impact!
In an instant, the menacing crimson light suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Gu Xuan's overwhelming rage instantly vanished under the onslaught of this soul attack that ignored all defenses.
