Encirclement

This document seems to be extremely detailed, so much so that it's almost frightening.

Furthermore, communication between the two parties is not yet perfectly real-time and is intermittent. Gu Jinlai is estimated that this message would take several days to transmit.

Fortunately, Lingxiao City and Star Province remained peaceful during this period because...

"Ancestor! Urgent news has arrived from Dragon Sparrow Manor!"

Gu Jinlai the phrase "calm and peaceful" had completely faded from his mind, Gu Chifeng hurriedly came to his side and quickly handed him a Thousand-Mile Light and Shadow Mirror.

"News from Dragon Sparrow Manor?"

Gu Jinlai took the mirror, and Zhang Lihuo's image quickly appeared in it.

"Elder, our Heavenly Master Lineage has been in dire straits in recent years, and we have had no choice but to band together for mutual support. In addition, we have realized that only under your leadership can the Heavenly Master Lineage see hope. Therefore, I have been in contact with some Celestial Masters and Grand Celestial Masters who are on good terms with me, hoping to invite them to Lingxiao City and join our ranks. Among these contacts are the Celestial Masters of Dragon Sparrow Manor."

As soon as the message was connected, Zhang Lihuo quickly said, "This message was sent to me by a Celestial Master friend. According to him, the Supreme Elders of Dragon Sparrow Manor, Ye Wuxia and Wang Yinfeng, along with six Spirit Transformation cultivators, have quietly left and disappeared without a trace. The direction they went is... Star Province."

"Two Supreme Elders and six Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators!?"

A chill runs through my heart, Gu Jinlai.

"Among the five major forces currently scheming in Star Province, the Purgatory Sect, the Yellow Springs Sect, and the Cold Moon Sect stopped because the Divine Sword Tournament is about to take place. The Yellow Heaven Sect, which still has some resources, is also affected by the fact that the Divine Sword Tournament is being held at Canglang Mountain next to the Milky Way, where experts are gathering. This forces the Demonic Beasts entrenched in the Milky Way to avoid their sharp edge and retreat to Crocodile Dragon Swamp. As a result, they naturally have no time to pay attention to the situation in Star Province."

Zhang Lihuo took a deep breath. "Under these circumstances, the Dragon Sparrow Manor has assembled Primordial Spirit and six Spirit Transformation cultivators to enter Star Province with only two objectives."

The Governor's Mansion, Lingxiao City.

The state government had recently discovered that the culprit behind the failure of the Shilipo Festival was none other than Gu Jinlai.

They and Longque Manor have already resolved their differences and made peace.

In addition, not long ago, Longque Manor used Demonic Beasts to attack Taihe City and Baihe City...

Everyone knows that because of this scheme, Lingxiao City and Longque Manor have become enemies.

With the threat of Demonic Beasts in the Yunqi Mountains gone, Longque Manor sent out its best warriors to infiltrate Star Province, their swords already poised to strike.

"I see."

Gu Jinlai took a deep breath. "Please thank that Daoist master for me."

"Elder, what do you think? Should we hide ourselves and avoid their sharp edge?"

Zhang Lihuo said with some concern.

"No need."

Gu Jinlai smiled slightly, his eyes showing not only no fear, but also a hint of anticipation.

"The Nascent Soul True Lord Primordial Spirit of Dragon Sparrow Manor? I've been waiting for them for a long time."

After saying that, he turned to Gu Chifeng beside him and said, "We happen to have six close-in weapon systems on hand right now. I need you to temporarily intercept the flying swords of those six Spirit Transformation cultivators. Is that alright?"

"I will not disappoint the ancestor."

Ancient Chifeng Road.

"Then let's go and prepare for battle."

Gu Jinlai around and headed straight for Lingxiao City.

Gu Chifeng and the others followed closely behind.

For the next period of time, Gu Jinlai did not return to the city, but stayed in a large martial arts arena outside Lingxiao City.

He placed the three Heavenly Sword missiles aside and slowly practiced his swordsmanship, while continuously integrating the "Will of All Beings" to manipulate the power of heaven and earth in order to comprehend the mysteries of the "Power Realm".

Beside him, Gu Chifeng, Gu Luochen, Gu Qingmei, Gu Yunxin, Gu Xiliu and others had all arrived, along with Xie Wuyan, a disciple from another clan who had just begun to show his talent by cultivating the Great Sun Demon God Body Refining Method, who operated six close-in weapon systems to protect the surrounding area.

Even in Gu Jinlai, there were two close-in weapon system models beside him.

When necessary, you can join the battle and intercept the flying swords.

As he continued his swordsmanship training, gradually...

My thoughts seem somewhat chaotic and restless.

In the past, this kind of restlessness wouldn't have elicited much of a reaction from him.

However, upon learning that the eight masters of Longque Manor were about to infiltrate Star Province, he quickly realized something.

This is a warning of a crisis.

The two Primordial Spirit True Lord and the eight Great Incarnation Cultivators from Dragon Sparrow Manor have arrived.

Gu Jinlai at Gu Chifeng, who was operating the close-in weapon system and whose radars on the six close-in weapon systems were scanning him in turn without him noticing anything. He couldn't help but sigh, "There are many smart people in this world, and... their abilities are not to be underestimated. They actually found a way to defend against close-in weapon system scans so quickly."

He slowly stood up and said to Gu Chifeng and the others, "Be on guard, the enemy is approaching."

Gu Chifeng and the others were taken aback. Then, their expressions changed simultaneously. While still feeling lingering fear, they all became extremely alert and looked around.

Gu Jinlai leaped into the air and quickly arrived at the highest building of the martial arts arena, looking down at the surrounding area from his vantage point.

Because he was outside the city and had a high vantage point, he could clearly see several red lights that were approaching from three or four miles away.

They seemed to possess some kind of special Spirit Artifact.

Gu Jinlai, people have been able to see the Karma light emanating from them, yet they still cannot discern their physical forms, let alone pinpoint their location using close-in weapon systems based on divine sense.

It is estimated that the strength of their divine sense is not even as strong as the spiritual energy dissipated by an ordinary person.

"Oh."

Gu Jinlai, everyone's figures have been observed.

He directly ordered Gu Chifeng and the others, "Over there."

And he himself...

Its body began to swell, and it leaped down from the tall building.

When it landed on the ground, it had already transformed into a giant nearly five meters tall.

The True Demon Body of the Great Sun.

He tucked the Heavenly Sword Missile behind his back with one hand and gripped the Shadow Sword with the other. With a burst of energy from his feet, he charged toward the location of the red light in an instant.

"Oh no, we've been exposed!"

"We all used the Heaven-Concealing Pearl to hide all the heat, aura, and spiritual fluctuations emanating from ourselves, yet he still managed to detect us!?"

"So what if we found him? It's no big deal. It just means our ambush has turned into a full-scale attack! Let's all draw our swords and unleash a barrage of fire to kill him outright!"

A brief, hurried exchange of voices broke out.

The next moment, Sword Qi soared into the sky.

Nine sword lights tore through the sky, carrying white mist with shockwaves, and shot straight toward Gu Jinlai charging forward.

Nine sword lights, nine flying swords, sealed off all the spaces that could be avoided Gu Jinlai.

"Careful!"

"Protect the Ancestor!"

"Their sword-wielding will unleash the power of their Yin Spirit ... I have locked onto them. Fire! Intercept the flying swords!"

Gu Jinlai from behind, Gu Chifeng and the others, who had rushed over, spoke at the same time.

As the whistling sword light reached within a thousand meters of Gu Jinlai, sparks burst forth.

"Sizzle!"

Six close-in weapon systems fired simultaneously, creating a dense barrage of bullets.

Since Gu Chifeng and the others knew that the target of these flying swords was Gu Jinlai, with this premise, the bullets fired by the six close-in weapon systems formed a dense fire net, filling the space in front of Gu Jinlai.

Saturation interception!

As the projectiles hurtled towards them, the six locked-on flying swords were all struck by bullets under this saturation interception, sparks flying everywhere.

Even a flying sword that wasn't originally within the target range was hit by this barrage of fire.

In this situation, the flying sword that was able to break through the barrage of firepower in front of him Gu Jinlai and reach within a hundred meters of him was finally able to...

Only two!

These two flying swords are much faster than other flying swords, reaching four or even five times the speed of sound!

It's no surprise that the owners of these two flying swords are the two Grand Elders of Dragon Sparrow Manor, both at the Primordial Spirit True Lord level.

"Hahaha! Well done!"

Gu Jinlai, he let out a long roar, and a great sun appeared behind him. At the same time, the Cheng Ying sword in his hand trembled violently and he flung it away.

Ten Thousand Swords Return to One - All Directions Annihilated.

The thrown Cheng Ying sword spun rapidly, shattering the air currents with a piercing whistle, and slashed fiercely at a flying sword that had already shot a hundred meters in front of him amidst a white light wave.

When metal and stone meet, sparks fly.

At the same time, the intense light from the great sun that appeared behind Gu Jinlai burst forth, seemingly a dazzling light so bright it could obscure human consciousness and perception, and slammed heavily into another flying sword.

Eternal Heavenly Curse.

Under the shock of this soul-shaking technique, the spirituality of the flying sword was greatly suppressed.

Of the ten characteristics of being boundless, breaking through the void, and being resilient, only one remains.

The terrifying speed, which was nearly five times faster, also dropped significantly.

However, even after falling a bit, the speed of this flying sword was still not much worse than that of a flying sword controlled by the Yin spirit of Spirit Transformation Yin Spirit cultivator.

Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound in the air.

In an instant, the sword shot several meters in front of Gu Jinlai, and then...

"Bang!"

Sparks flew.

It has been firmly held in the hands of people Gu Jinlai!

This flying sword lacks the characteristic of sharpness...

It was actually intercepted from the sky and held firmly in the palm of one's hand by those who have relied on their keen perception of artistic conception Gu Jinlai.

That's it?

Gu Jinlai the spiritual senses on the flying sword, their gaze traversed the void and landed on a cold-looking old man three miles away.

Wang Yinfeng, the Supreme Elder of Longque Mountain Villa.

"Die!"

The next moment, Wang Yinfeng let out a low shout.

A violent and dazzling sword light suddenly erupted from the flying sword held by Gu Jinlai.

At that moment, he felt as if he were holding not a flying sword, but a bomb.

A bomb that was detonated instantly.

The limitless characteristic is designed to accommodate and carry more true essence.

At this moment, the fierce and powerful true essence erupted in the palm of Gu Jinlai's hand in its most violent form, instantly shattering his refined black steel glove into dust. A large amount of blood splattered from his palm, and even the white bones were visible.

With the help of this thunderous burst of true energy, the flying sword escaped and shot back towards Wang Yinfeng's location.

"Shoot and leave? It's not that easy!"

With a low roar, Gu Jinlai turned his hand, and a Sky Sword missile landed in his hand.

Spiritual communion!

True Spirit has possessed me!

The eternal furnace within his body roared into operation, unleashing intense and violent energy.

Under the influence of the transfer characteristic, this energy is fully injected into the Tianjian missile, becoming its engine.

"Call out!"

Flame jet.

The next moment, the Heavenly Sword Missile pierced through the void, and guided by the True Spirit, it streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading straight for Wang Yinfeng.
