21: Eight Desolations Locking Demon Formation

Although Song Rentou didn't know how Gu Liangyuan had seen that Ye Fan was a Child of Destiny, he knew from Gu Liangyuan's recent changes that Gu Liangyuan would certainly not be shooting blanks.

He panicked a little.

In legends, those who opposed a Child of Destiny never came to a good end.

Moreover, this Child of Destiny was extremely difficult to kill, which was truly asking for it!

Gu Liangyuan guessed Song Rentou's thoughts and glanced at him, "Why are you panicking?"

"Difficult to kill doesn't mean impossible to kill. Come with me to Wuji Peak. I'm going to call for backup."

Song Rentou's eyes immediately lit up, "Junior Martial Uncle is brilliant!"

Watching Gu Liangyuan's receding back, Song Rentou quickly followed, "Junior Martial Uncle, wait for me."

...

Gu Liangyuan was meticulously making arrangements, but Ye Fan was still arguing with Meng Yao.

Meng Yao said, "Ye Fan, how did you become like this?"

"When you were little, you often said you'd give me the best. Now, I'm asking you to kill someone for me, and you refuse."

"I don't want the future; I want Gu Liangyuan to die now!"

Ye Fan also looked helpless. How could he not want Gu Liangyuan to die? But at present, he couldn't do it!

Just then, the old man in the jade pendant transmitted a message to Ye Fan again:

"Ye Fan, stop dawdling. That person just now might have been Gu Liangyuan's scout. Hurry and leave!"

Ye Fan listened to his Master's words, then looked at Meng Yao and took a deep breath:

"Yao'er, trust me, in the future, Gu Liangyuan will definitely pay the price. For now, will you come with me?"

Seeing Ye Fan reach out to grab her, Meng Yao instinctively took a step back, making Ye Fan grab air.

Through Gu Liangyuan's attitude, Meng Yao knew that Gu Liangyuan was serious this time.

She had originally seen Ye Fan as her last savior. She hadn't expected that Ye Fan, who had boasted about how powerful his Master was just a few days ago, would be so useless.

As for fleeing with Ye Fan...

If it were her before she met Gu Liangyuan, she might have agreed immediately.

But now, she was used to the feeling of being surrounded by people, and asking her to live a life of constant flight was truly a bit unwilling.

But it seemed... she had no other choice.

Thinking of her current desolate appearance, compared to her spirited demeanor at Yaochi Sacred Ground a few days ago, Meng Yao only felt sorrow welling up in her heart.

Regret once again surged into her mind.

Perhaps, she really made a mistake?

If she hadn't rekindled her old flame with Ye Fan, she would probably be participating in the Saintess Competition right now.

Still surrounded by people, the focus of all eyes...

No, I'm not wrong!

The one who's wrong is Gu Liangyuan!

From beginning to end, I was just a sacrifice for his cultivation!

I am the victim!

I must live, I cannot die.

I will make Gu Liangyuan pay the price!

As for my Family... I will avenge them!

Thinking of this, Meng Yao looked at the somewhat anxious Ye Fan in front of her and nodded heavily:

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

Ye Fan was overjoyed and was about to say something when the weather suddenly changed!

Rolling dark clouds covered the sky!

The wind howled, and sand and stones flew!

Eight beams of light shot up into the sky from eight directions, forming a grand array that firmly trapped Ye Fan and Meng Yao on the field!

A clear male voice, seemingly far yet near, echoed between heaven and earth:

"Where are you going?"

Upon hearing this voice, Meng Yao and Ye Fan's expressions immediately changed drastically!

As the two watched, Gu Liangyuan stepped through the Void, with lotuses blooming under his feet with each step, walking out from the Void.

Behind him, Qianqiu held an umbrella.

Song Rentou and Elder Wang, the two Grand Elders, guarded him on the left and right.

Eight Void Refining and twenty Soul Transformation Cultivators entered the array, completely sealing off the space.

This array was precisely the Supreme Sacred Ground's ultimate trapping array, the Eight Desolations Lock Demon Array!

With eight Void Refining Cultivators controlling the array, even a Mahayana Realm Cultivator would be trapped for a moment!

To kill Ye Fan, this Child of Destiny, Gu Liangyuan had truly gone all out.

Ye Fan looked at Gu Liangyuan, who resembled an Immortal banished from heaven, and felt somewhat dazed.

How could Gu Liangyuan have changed so much in just a few days?

When he saw Qianqiu behind Gu Liangyuan, Ye Fan's pupils suddenly constricted!

How could there be such a beautiful woman in this world!

He had always thought Meng Yao's appearance was extraordinary, but compared to Qianqiu, it was a world of difference!

I hate it!

Why!

Why does Gu Liangyuan have such a good background and such a beautiful woman by his side!

This was also the first time Meng Yao had seen Qianqiu, and she immediately felt ashamed of her own inferiority.

Then she reacted and became angry at her own self-abasement just now.

So she comforted herself, what's the use of being beautiful? In the Cultivation World, strength is what truly matters!

Gu Liangyuan naturally had no mind to guess what the two were thinking. He spoke coldly:

"Meng Yao, out of our past affection, I have given you more than one chance.

"But unfortunately, not only did you not cherish it, you even conspired with a scoundrel to kill me."

"Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Without waiting for Meng Yao to reply, Gu Liangyuan turned and instructed:

"Elders, the rest is up to you."

Everyone responded in unison, offering up their Magic Treasures and attacking the two!

Gold, wood, water, and fire appeared simultaneously, and Thunder Dragons roared amidst the dark clouds!

Ye Fan and Meng Yao merely felt enveloped by a great terror from the might of the twenty-eight people's attacks, too frightened to move.

They were completely dumbfounded!

Firstly, they hadn't expected Gu Liangyuan to be so decisive, acting as soon as he spoke, not even giving them a chance to talk.

According to past experience in battles, shouldn't the opponent first mock them thoroughly before making a move?

They had no preparation for this at all.

Secondly, they also hadn't expected Gu Liangyuan to bring out such a grand formation to deal with them!

Although their cultivation Realm didn't allow them to discern the exact Realm of the twenty-odd people on the field, they roughly knew that all of them were above the Nascent Soul Realm!

No, we're just two Foundation Establishment Cultivators. You're giving us too much credit.

Just as the attacks were about to hit Ye Fan, a long, aged sigh echoed:

"Alas, stop."

As this voice emerged, a tremendous Divine Soul power was released from the jade pendant on Ye Fan's chest, blocking all the attacks.

Immediately after, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared out of thin air, shielding Ye Fan and Meng Yao behind him.

The Elders of the Supreme Sacred Ground felt the pressure of a Body Integration Realm Cultivator from the old man and immediately became vigilant.

Previously, when they heard Gu Liangyuan say he would mobilize so many people to kill one Ye Fan, they hadn't taken it seriously.

Now it seemed, it was fortunate that the Junior Martial Uncle called for so many people.

Ye Fan and Meng Yao, behind the old man, felt the crisis of life and death dissipate and immediately came back to their senses.

At this moment, a strong wind blew, and they only felt a chill down their spines.

Only then did they realize that their backs were drenched in cold sweat.

The old man saw that the situation was stable and stroked his beard, "This old man is Baitou Sheng, and with you..."

The old man's words were cut off by Gu Liangyuan:

"You say stop, and we stop? Who do you think you are?"

Saying that, Gu Liangyuan cupped his hands and bowed towards a certain part of the Void:

"Senior Sister Sun, I trouble you to personally make a move."

As Gu Liangyuan's voice fell, a rift suddenly tore open in the Void, and an old woman leaning on a Dragon-head cane walked out from it.

This old woman had a face full of wrinkles but possessed a head of jet-black, lustrous hair. She seemed somewhat shaky even walking in the Void, as if she could collapse at any moment.

After the old woman emerged, although she was looking at Baitou Sheng, she was speaking to Gu Liangyuan:

"Before, I thought Junior Brother was making a fuss over nothing by inviting me out. Now it seems, I should thank Junior Brother."

"This Baitou Sheng killed my Personal Disciple six thousand years ago, and I beheaded him with one sword. I thought he was completely dead, but I didn't expect a remnant Divine Soul to still exist in the world."

"Today, I've come at just the right time!"

Not just Gu Liangyuan, but even the other Elders and Ye Fan hadn't expected such a deep-seated grudge!

It was a combination of new and old hatreds!

If Ye Fan and his Master didn't die now, it would be quite impolite.
