338: Mr. Sun, where is your pride?

"What!"

Sun Ao and Hongyun Palace Master exclaimed in unison, their Faces filled with shock!

"Half an incense stick ago, Old Ancestor Wuchen's soul lamp was extinguished!"

The person delivering the news repeated himself.

Gu Liangyuan!

Although there was no evidence, the name simultaneously surfaced in the minds of everyone in the hall.

Hongyun Palace Master, whose troubled mood had just eased, felt his heart clench again.

Indeed, Gu Liangyuan was still that Gu Liangyuan!

Who could have imagined the destruction of the Zhuge Family back then?

But Gu Liangyuan just did it!

And he succeeded!

When it came to the Fu Long Court, how many people favored Gu Liangyuan?

But Gu Liangyuan won again!

He even used this opportunity to unify the Eastern Continent, bringing forth the fourth Dynasty in the world.

Now that Sun Wuchen was dead, would he be far behind?

Sun Ao's expression was also very unpleasant, partly due to the pain of his grandfather's death, and partly because he felt he was losing Face.

I just finished telling Hongyun Palace Master, and my grandfather died?

He forcefully calmed himself and spoke again to make amends:

"I underestimated Gu Liangyuan. Now, the cause of my grandfather's death is unclear, and even if it was Gu Liangyuan, he must have ambushed him, killing him when my grandfather was out and unprepared."

"The Rulai Holy Land's defensive array is known to be able to defend against all powers below an Immortal."

"There was once a Peak Wind Calamity Realm expert who attacked for three days and three nights without causing any damage."

"My grandfather was still careless..."

At this point, Sun Ao paused slightly, then said to Hongyun Palace Master with a firm tone:

"Hongyun Palace Master, rest assured, our Ancient Mo not only has the Four Lodges Array, but the capital city is also blessed with the Myriad Manifestations Array."

"As long as Hongyun Palace Master doesn't leave the capital city, he will definitely be safe."

Hearing Sun Ao's words, Hongyun Palace Master felt much relieved:

"I hope so."

"Young Lord, disaster has struck!"

Before Hongyun Palace Master could finish speaking, another panicked voice came.

An Elder appeared out of thin air in the main hall.

Upon entering the hall, he didn't even have time to be polite to Hongyun Palace Master and hastily spoke to Sun Ao:

"Young Lord, your subordinate has received confirmed news that the Rulai Holy Land has been destroyed by Gu Liangyuan!"

"Thirty thousand believers, twenty thousand novices, eight thousand bhikkhus, and nearly a thousand Elders were all killed!"

"Even Great Master Yuantong didn't escape death!"

"What!?"

Everyone in the hall exclaimed in unison again.

Their Faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

They had thought Sun Wuchen's death was an assassination by Gu Liangyuan, but they never expected that Gu Liangyuan had actually broken through the Rulai Array head-on!

"Is that true!?"

"It's true!"

"Looking south from Xi Dou Pass, you can clearly see a place where there is severe spatial collapse!"

"That is the former site of the Rulai Holy Land!"

Sun Ao's expression instantly became incredibly grim.

He had just said Gu Liangyuan was an ambush, but now he was told it was a frontal assault?

Gu Liangyuan, had he grown stronger?

Feeling Hongyun Palace Master's questioning gaze, Sun Ao felt his Face being repeatedly rubbed into the ground by Gu Liangyuan.

He said somewhat angrily and shamefully:

"So what if the Rulai Array was broken?"

"So what if he has the combat power of a Peak Wind Calamity Realm expert?"

"You should know that our Ancient Mo not only has defensive arrays, but also Loose Immortals guarding it!"

"At the Loose Immortal Realm, the power exerted is already the limit of the mortal world!"

"No matter how strong Gu Liangyuan is, he cannot use means that transcend the limits of the mortal world!"

"Everyone's level is the same, and we have two Loose Immortals, while he only has one."

Saying that, he snorted coldly at Hongyun Palace Master:

"Look how scared you are!"

"Let alone him not being able to break in, even if he stood before me right now, I wouldn't panic in the slightest!"

Looking at Sun Ao, who was only at the Soul Transformation cultivation, and listening to his disdainful words, Hongyun Palace Master felt a surge of Qi.

But when one is under another's roof, one must bow one's head.

Who told him he had to rely on someone else's power to survive?

So, he remained silent.

Seeing Hongyun Palace Master's silence, Sun Ao spoke with increasing fervor.

As if to compensate for his misjudgment in this way:

"Let alone Gu Liangyuan being unable to do anything to me in the capital, even if he had the means to kill me, I would accept it calmly!"

"The path to longevity, the Dao's contention!"

"A general's success is built upon ten thousand bones! At least I have given my all for longevity, so I have no regrets even if I die!"

"Good!"

The two subordinates who had reported the news, seeing their Young Lord's heroic spirit, all cheered!

"Good, Young Lord, what great ambition!"

Receiving praise from those around him, Sun Ao even deceived himself, as if at this moment, he had truly become a figure making a heroic sacrifice:

"Although my strength is low, if it truly comes to that, I will also fight with all my might to bite off a piece of Gu Liangyuan's flesh!"

"Only then will I not have wasted my cultivation!"

"Young Lord~"

The two subordinates looked at Sun Ao, their eyes burning with fervor, looking as if they would die for their confidant!

Hongyun Palace Master watched from the side, frowning, clicking his tongue.

That's enough, you're really putting on too much of an act!

Just as they were talking, a monstrous Killing Intent swept over them!

The few of them immediately felt their hands and feet turn cold, as if they were in a mountain of corpses, already having become corpses themselves.

Looking up, they saw a red-haired young man with a long halberd suspended in the air!

His Face was impossibly handsome, and although his eyes were blood-red, they added a demonic charm to him!

The person who arrived was precisely Gu Liangyuan!

Sun Ao, who had been speaking so arrogantly just moments before, seeing the Immortal Master arrive, where was his previous demeanor?

Just feeling this Killing Intent, his legs involuntarily went weak.

Only by leaning against the wall in time did he not collapse.

Hongyun Palace Master looked at Gu Liangyuan, and he found that he wasn't as afraid as he had imagined.

Instead, there was a hint of relief in his heart.

He had long anticipated this scene.

Looking at Sun Ao's pathetic display, he spoke:

"The path to longevity, the Dao's contention, don't panic, Young Master Sun!"

Listening to Hongyun Palace Master's words, Sun Ao felt his Face flush crimson.

Although he was very scared, he still forced himself to stand straight.

Hongyun Palace Master's voice came again:

"A general's success is built upon ten thousand bones!"

"You have at least given your all for longevity, so you have no regrets even if you die, Young Master Sun!"

"Go on, Young Master Sun, bite off a piece of Gu Liangyuan's flesh!"

Although Sun Ao didn't turn his head, he could feel the burning gazes of his two subordinates behind him.

Sun Ao!

You are a man of iron and steel!

You are not a coward!

Not a coward!

Sun Ao comforted himself in this way, trying to control his weak legs, and slowly walked towards Gu Liangyuan.

However, his walking speed was extremely slow.

"Hmm?"

Gu Liangyuan let out a soft hum, shifting his gaze from Hongyun Palace Master to Sun Ao.

Eyes met!

It was this single glance that instantly shattered the courage Sun Ao had painstakingly gathered.

He completely broke down!

Wuwuwu~

I'm scared!

I'm not playing anymore.

I want to go home.

Sun Ao let out a strange cry and took off running.

When he fled, his legs were no longer weak, and he had strength in his body.

Hongyun Palace Master's voice came again:

"Young Master Sun, why are you running?"

"Where is your pride?"

"Where is your ambition?"

"Look how scared you are!"
