Inside the Heavenly Tomb.
A secluded area.
"Damn it! Half a year! A whole half year! These bastards! They're really relentless!"
A burly man said through gritted teeth.
"Commander Gu Xing, keep your voice down, or you'll be discovered..." Gu Zhen, the Great Commander the Black Annihilation Army, hurriedly reminded him.
"It's understandable that Huo Xuan, that bastard, is chasing after us. That bastard from the Medicine Clan and that bitch are accomplices, but what's wrong with Lei Dong?! He actually joined them too!"
At that moment, a Silver Shirt Man looked down at his right shoulder. A cold, gust of wind blew by, causing his right sleeve to flutter. Inside the sleeve was nothing but emptiness; this was the arm that Lei Dong had personally severed last month...
"Gu Hua..."
Gu Qingyang stepped forward and gently patted the Silver Shirt Man's shoulder, signaling him to calm down.
"I think there's a reason why Lei Dong turned against us..."
As he spoke, Gu Qingyang glanced at Gu Xun'er, who was sitting a meter away from him, healing her injuries.
"What good will knowing do? Xun'er is a young lady... we can't..."
After a long while, Gu Xun'er, who was healing, finally slowly opened her eyes...
"Little girl, are you feeling better?"
After Gu Xun'er opened her eyes, an old man dressed in white appeared silently, like a ghost...
The white-robed old man appeared no different from a normal person, but upon closer inspection, differences became apparent: this old man was actually an Energy Body...
A Dou Sheng Energy Body!
"Thank you for your concern, my ancestors. I am now fine."
"In that case, let's hurry up and leave. Not far away is the territory of another old guy. If we go there and he helps us, it should be safer."
The old man in white said in a deep voice.
"Thank you for the protection of our ancestors during this time..."
Gu Qingyang stepped forward slowly, bowed, and respectfully expressed his gratitude.
They had been hunted by Huo Xuan for a full six months. After these six months of fleeing like fugitives, he realized that their ancestors couldn't protect them at all...
They can seek protection from the fallen ancestors of the ancient Gu Clan in the Heavenly Tomb, and Huo Xuan can also seek out their Flame Clan ancestors to act as helpers.
Relying on the fact that the Gu Clan were the guardians of the Heavenly Tomb and that they were more familiar with Heavenly Tomb, they roughly knew the location of some of the Gu Clan's ancestors, and even the location of other Half-Saint or Dou Sheng Energy Body. When Huo Xuan chased after them, they couldn't defeat him, so they could only rely on these Energy Body to block Huo Xuan and buy as much time as possible to escape.
However, even if you rely on this method, the time you can gain to escape is very short.
During this time, Huo Xuan had somehow cultivated, and when they met again, he was considerably stronger than before. They had personally witnessed Huo Xuan defeat a Half-Saint Energy Body. Since the Half-Saint Energy Body couldn't stop him, they sought the protection of their ancestors. However, Huo Xuan also summoned their Flame Clan ancestors, not only the Flame Clan's ancestors but also some ancestors from the Medicine Clan and the Lei Clan. After their ancestors were defeated, Huo Xuan even obtained Dou Sheng Energy Core...
Currently, many ancestors have perished again in their efforts to save them, and Huo Xuan has thus obtained a considerable number of Dou Sheng Energy Core...
On a vast land shrouded in energy mist, several figures sat cross-legged around a campfire. The firelight illuminated their faces, revealing them to be Huo Xuan and his group.
"Still no action..." Lei Dong looked at Huo Xuan and Yao Tian, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "When are you two going to make your move?"
"I've been hunting them down for over half a year now. To be honest, if it weren't for the sheer boredom, I would have killed them right here in the first place. Otherwise, they would have managed to escape every time."
Yao Tian said with a hint of disdain in his tone.
"Kids, you're really having a great time, you've even come up with some creative ways to play."
Suddenly, a Scarlet Robe Old Man appeared quietly behind Huo Xuan and spoke.
"The whereabouts of the younger generation of the Gu Clan have been found again."
"Thank you for your trouble, Ancestor." Huo Xuan immediately stood up, bowed to the old man, and said respectfully.
"It's time for the Cat and Mouse game to end!"
"Good riddance! I'm tired of this game anyway, time to send them on their way!"
Yao Tian stood up, cracked his knuckles, making a series of crisp sounds. After playing the Cat and Mouse game for half a year, he was already quite tired of it.
Seeing that Yao Tian and Lei Dong were ready, Huo Xuan looked at the others who were cultivating, bowed to the other elders, and asked, "I would like to trouble you seniors to protect them well."
Led by their ancestor, Huo Xuan and his group quickly arrived at the hiding place of the Gu Clan.
Gu Xun'er and the others were all present, with two illusory old men keeping a close watch on them.
"Long time no see, I've missed you dearly. Friends of the Gu Clan, how have you been these past few days?"
Yao Tian smiled and was the first to greet them. Though his face wore a friendly smile, he couldn't hide the intense killing intent in his eyes!
Upon closer inspection, Huo Xuan noticed obvious signs of a fight around him. Ignoring Gu Xun'er and the others, Huo Xuan reached out and beckoned to a distant point of light. Immediately, two Energy Core flew towards him and were firmly grasped in his hand.
They were actually two Dou Sheng Energy Core!
It seems that Gu Xun'er and her group have found two more ancestors of the Gu Clan. However, it appears that they, like the previous ones, have met another tragic end.
Looking at the Energy Core emitting a faint light in his palm, Huo Xuan smiled slightly and put the two Energy Core into his Storage Ring in front of Gu Xun'er and the others.
"Thank you so much, you've brought us another Dou Sheng Energy Core!"
"You... it seems you really want to kill us this time..."
Gu Qingyang looked at the three people in front of him, and after a long while, he said this.
"We're tired of the Cat and Mouse game; it's time to send you on your way!"
"The Ancient Eight Clans have an alliance with each other. Are you trying to break that alliance by doing this?!"
Gu Xun'er said sternly.
"An alliance?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan let out a series of cold laughs, then took out a golden pill from his Storage Ring and threw it at Gu Xun'er.
"Hmph, now you know about the alliance? When you planned to kill us, did you even know about the alliance? Talking about the alliance now, don't you find it ridiculous?"
Huo Xuan showed no fear whatsoever at the alliance they spoke of.
"If you dare to lay a hand on me, my father will not let you off! You must never leave the Gu Clan!"
Gu Xun'er brought up Gu Yuan again.
"Gu Yuan?"
"You don't naively think we'll let you go because of Gu Yuan, do you?" Huo Xuan said coldly. "Since we dared to take action, we naturally have no worries about leaving the Gu Clan."
"However, you are not our target. After all, you have that dead ghost Gu Yuan protecting you. There will be a battle between us eventually, but not now. Gu Xun'er, you can leave safely, but the others cannot."
"Who among you wants to be the first to come and die!"
At this moment, Yao Tian stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Gu Qingyang and the others, and said fiercely.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
