137: The whole city is covered with golden armor!

Three thousand li west of Supreme Sacred Ground.

Gu Liangyuan didn't use any special travel methods; he simply used a basic Wind Manipulation technique to carry Song Xianer back.

Gu Liangyuan walked ahead, and even though he had slowed down, Song Xianer still hurried to keep up behind him:

"Master, slow down."

"Master, wait for me."

Seeing that Gu Liangyuan ahead had no intention of stopping, Song Xianer bit her lip:

"Daddy~"

"Slow down~"

Gu Liangyuan, who was traveling ahead, was startled.

He looked left and right, appearing somewhat guilty.

Seeing that there was no one around, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Song Xianer: "What's wrong with you?"

Taking advantage of Gu Liangyuan's words, Song Xianer caught up with his pace.

She chuckled: "Master, you also wouldn't want others to know that your disciple calls you Daddy, right?"

Gu Liangyuan glared:

"You called me that yourself!"

But Song Xianer wasn't intimidated by Gu Liangyuan's attitude; she blinked her beautiful eyes:

"Living in the mortal world, we could also pretend to be siblings, or even... a couple."

"But Master, why did you specifically choose father and daughter?"

"You clearly wanted me to call you Daddy!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I never thought the famous Forget-Love Peak Master would be such a person."

Gu Liangyuan looked at Song Xianer, who showed no fear, and then thought of Qianqiu, who had asked him to teach her Cultivation Technique earlier.

He suddenly felt that his disciples' filial piety had taken a strange turn!

They were already so bold at Foundation Establishment; what would happen if they reached Soul Transformation one day!

When Song Xianer said this, her attention was focused on Gu Liangyuan's face.

She was testing the waters; if her Master didn't get angry, then she could be even more excessive next time.

If he did get angry, then she would have to be gentler next time.

Bottom line?

That's something that gets broken little by little!

Seeing that Gu Liangyuan wasn't angered by this, Song Xianer knew when to stop, stepped forward, grabbed Gu Liangyuan's arm, and shook it, saying in a spoiled tone:

"Master~ Just slow down~"

Gu Liangyuan observed Song Xianer's change in demeanor and naturally guessed her little scheme.

He clicked his tongue twice but didn't say much more.

Under the use of the Water Law, the water Qi in the air gathered into a cloud, steadily supporting Gu Liangyuan and Song Xianer.

Before the two could proceed, Gu Liangyuan inadvertently glanced at a nearby cloud, and three brightly lit System panels appeared in his sight.

With the circulation of his magic power, a golden light flashed across his brow, allowing him to clearly see Zhao Chi and the two others hiding in the cloud.

After clearly seeing the Cultivation of the three, Gu Liangyuan immediately felt anger surge in his heart!

One Void Refining Middle Stage, two Void Refining Late Stage dare to come and ambush me, a Soul Transformation Early Stage! Who are they looking down on!

The three hiding in the cloud also noticed Gu Liangyuan's gaze. They hadn't expected that Gu Liangyuan could still discover them even with the use of a hidden Spirit Treasure.

Just as they were hesitating whether to make a move, Gu Liangyuan spoke first:

"Fellow Daoist Zhao Chi, still well, I see."

Listening to Gu Liangyuan's words, Zhao Chi was forced to reveal himself.

He gave a look to the two beside him, and they immediately understood.

The three came to Gu Liangyuan's side in unison.

They appeared to be smiling, but in reality, the three had formed a triangular shape, subtly creating an encirclement.

Zhao Chi spoke: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Gu Liang here."

Gu Liangyuan had no intention of being fake with Zhao Chi. He took a step forward, shielding Song Xianer behind him.

With a wave of his hand, the Nine Kill Sword appeared in his grasp.

As soon as the Nine Kill Sword appeared, an overwhelming killing intent immediately permeated the air!

Seeing Gu Liangyuan's actions, Zhao Chi immediately understood that Gu Liangyuan had already guessed his purpose.

So he no longer pretended and lightly uttered a single word:

"Kill!"

As the word was spoken, the two beside Zhao Chi seemed to hear a signal, transforming into two afterimages and rushing straight towards Gu Liangyuan.

Zhao Chi himself, however, intended to circle behind Gu Liangyuan to capture Song Xianer.

Despite this sudden change, Song Xianer's expression remained unchanged.

She formed hand seals, and after chanting some unknown incantation, a brilliant light suddenly emanated from her entire body.

As the light dissipated, she had transformed into a long sword.

Seemingly not satisfied, the long sword swayed and transformed into a long whip, directly wrapping around Gu Liangyuan's waist, and immediately transmitted a message:

"Master, this is my Myriad Weapon Art. I can transform into a weapon to fight. With my current Cultivation, I can only maintain it for one quarter of an hour."

Listening to Song Xianer's transmission, Gu Liangyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

A quarter of an hour, that's enough!

Zhao Chi, seeing that he had lost his target, made a decisive decision and changed direction, charging towards Gu Liangyuan.

Looking at the three charging towards him, Gu Liangyuan summoned the Five Thief Banner and loudly declared:

"When autumn comes, on the ninth day of the eighth month!"

His voice was vast and ethereal, like rolling thunder, echoing between heaven and earth!

As the line was spoken, the world changed color!

Endless clouds suddenly gathered into dark clouds, twisting and changing in the sky, seemingly brewing some phenomenon.

The Five Thief Banner also shot out five-colored rays of light, covering an area within fifty li with these five-colored rays.

However, this large-scale use of the Five Thief Banner was clearly not as effective as targeting a single individual.

Although the three Void Refining Cultivators felt their heads heavy, it was still within their acceptable range.

They struggled to reach Gu Liangyuan, employing various attack methods.

Gu Liangyuan had no intention of clashing head-on with them; he merely dodged and weaved left and right.

Most attacks could be avoided with his lightning flash, and for the occasional unavoidable ones, his precious robe and his Physical Body, comparable to a low-grade spirit treasure, could withstand them.

While dodging, Gu Liangyuan recited the second line:

"After my flowers bloom, all other flowers die!"

As the second line was spoken, the celestial phenomenon changed again!

The dark clouds in the sky twisted and transformed into ten thousand li of fertile soil.

Upon the fertile soil, a hundred flowers bloomed in competition!

However, one yellow chrysanthemum among them was particularly eye-catching.

Almost instantly, more and more chrysanthemums appeared, making yellow the dominant color across the entire fertile soil.

Then, in another instant, thousands of chrysanthemums burst forth with brilliant light, and the surrounding flowers withered immediately, turning into nourishment, allowing the chrysanthemums to grow even more vigorously and fully bloom!

Although he didn't look up, Zhao Chi also sensed the celestial phenomenon.

While the other two Void Refining Cultivators were besieging Gu Liangyuan, he pulled back and retreated.

Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he had heard of Gu Liangyuan's demeanor during his Undergoing Tribulation, and his combat power was probably similar to that of a Void Refining Cultivator.

Fighting above one's rank is often used to describe Prodigy Juniors.

The further one progresses in Cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to kill someone of a higher cultivation stage.

Although he was somewhat skeptical of the news that Gu Liangyuan's combat power was comparable to Void Refining, for the sake of caution, he still called two more Void Refining Late Stage helpers.

But he didn't expect that Gu Liangyuan, without even using his body-enlarging Divine Ability, was already easily handling the attacks of the three, and seemed to be brewing a big move.

He thought he had overestimated Gu Liangyuan, but he didn't expect to have underestimated him still.

This can't go on!

With a thought, an ancient wooden abacus suddenly hung before his chest.

This abacus was different from ordinary ones; although it also had nine rods, it was an octagon.

Its appearance was actually modeled after the Bagua Diagram!

Under the enhancement of Zhao Chi's magic power, the abacus shook, and the beads clattered and crackled.

But before he could even use the abacus, Gu Liangyuan spoke again:

"The pervasive fragrance permeates Chang'an, the city entirely adorned in golden armor!"

As this line was spoken, the celestial phenomenon changed again.

Those chrysanthemums transformed, becoming powerful warriors clad in yellow armor and wielding long spears.

The Cultivation of these warriors wasn't too high, but they were at Core Formation Peak.

More importantly, at a glance, there were eighty thousand of them!

A vast, dark mass, dyeing the sky golden yellow.

They descended from the sky, yelling and roaring, surrounding Zhao Chi and the two others.

A hundred, or even a thousand Core Formation Peak Cultivators, posed no threat to a Void Refining Cultivator.

But eighty thousand Core Formation Cultivators would make even a Void Refining Peak Cultivator feel a chill in their heart!

Upon seeing this, the three's expressions changed drastically!
