13: Chapter 13 The Destruction of the Holy Land—Could it be the Ancestor?

At this moment, Holy Lord Ren Tian spoke slowly: "In other words, this Gu Family not only refuses to hand over Spirit Stones but also killed someone from our Holy Land?"

After speaking, his face turned black!

"That must be the case; otherwise, no one in Qingyun Province would dare to act like this."

This was clearly the behavior of a reckless fool.

Who in Qingyun Province did not know the reputation of the Zixiao Sacred Land? Who was unaware of it?

A small Family actually dared to touch someone from their Holy Land; they were simply courting death!

"A small Family, and they dare to touch someone from my Holy Land?"

Holy Lord Ren Tian's voice was very calm, but those who knew him understood this was a precursor to explosive rage!

At this time, an Elder stepped out: "Holy Lord, this matter cannot be let go just like that. A Family like an ant dares to provoke the majesty of our Holy Land. If not severely punished, I fear the Holy Land will lose all its dignity!"

Then another Elder jumped out. That Elder frowned and said: "The Gu Family dared to kill Steward Zhao Hong, so they obviously have a trump card. Steward Zhao Hong was, after all, in the Sovereign Realm Eighth Heavenly Layer. Whoever killed him must be at least in the Sovereign Realm Perfection, or even a Half-step Saint!"

A Half-step Saint!

Once these words were spoken, Holy Lord Ren Tian pondered for a moment.

If they could be used by the Holy Land, that would be a decent core force.

However, for them to provoke the Holy Land like this, he must make them understand the majesty of the Holy Land!

The Second Elder sneered: "A Half-step Saint? One can count the Half-step Saints in Qingyun Province on two hands, and aren't they all famous figures? Is there someone we don't know about?"

"Or are you saying they would hide in a small Family to be an Old Ancestor?"

Obviously impossible.

After all, the stronger the strength, the more resources required.

Although Qingyun Province is not a rich land, its resources are limited, and it breeds very few powerful people.

And they knew everything that the Holy Land could know; how could they not know about the existence of a Half-step Saint?

"What if?"

"What if? Even if it is a Half-step Saint, our Holy Land has a Saint Realm Old Ancestor sitting in command, what is there to fear?"

Mentioning the Saint Realm Old Ancestor, everyone felt much more at ease.

Others only knew that the Zixiao Sacred Land had two Half-step Saints, but what truly allowed the Zixiao Sacred Land to stand tall in Qingyun Province for thousands of years was the Saint Realm Old Ancestor who had been in closed-door cultivation for a thousand years behind the scenes.

Above the Sovereign Realm is the Half-step Saint, and only after the Half-step Saint is the Saint!

A Saint is enough to suppress everything.

Although Holy Lord Ren Tian was also in the Half-step Saint Realm, it was not enough to make him take action against a Half-step Saint.

Holy Lord Ren Tian pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision.

"Pass on my order: mobilize three Elders and lead ten Sovereign Realm Disciples to the Gu Family tomorrow."

"Tell them, either hand over the murderer, double the share of Spirit Mines, and pay tribute every year."

"Or die without a burial place!"

As he finished speaking.

BOOM!!!

The entire main hall shook violently.

Tiles on the roof kept falling, and cracks quickly appeared on the ground and buildings!

"What is happening?!" Holy Lord Ren Tian stood up abruptly.

BOOM!!!

Another loud noise.

This time, everyone felt it.

It was not an earthquake.

Something was hitting the Mountain Protection Array of the Holy Land.

"Someone is attacking the Holy Land?!" The Second Elder's face changed drastically.

"Impossible! Who would dare to attack the Holy Land?!"

Just at this moment, the Zixiao Saint, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a thousand years, appeared in the main hall.

But before he could speak.

CRACK!

The Mountain Protection Array instantly shattered!

The array that had not been broken for a thousand years cracked like an egg today.

Everyone looked up at the sky.

In the sky, a figure in white stood in the air.

White hair fluttered gently, and his eyes were indifferent.

He looked down at the entire Zixiao Sacred Land as if looking down at a group of ants.

"Who is it?!" The Saint rushed out of the main hall and shouted sternly.

Before he could figure it out, he saw an invisible giant hand opening towards them!

Gu Xuan did not answer.

He just raised his hand.

Lightly, he pressed down.

A giant hand covering the sky descended from the heavens.

The giant hand covered the entire Zixiao Sacred Land, blocking the sunlight and casting a huge shadow.

"Stop!" The Saint roared and attacked with all his might.

Holy Lord Ren Tian and several Elders attacked at the same time.

Countless Disciples within the Holy Land attacked simultaneously.

All attacks bombarded that giant hand!

Like mud oxen entering the sea, not even a splash was created.

The speed at which the giant hand pressed down did not slow down in the slightest.

"No!!!"

RUMBLE!!!

The entire Zixiao Sacred Land, along with the mountain range for a hundred miles around, was turned into powder under this palm.

Dust rushed into the sky, and the earth trembled.

The vibration could be felt for ten thousand miles around.

When the dust settled.

The Zixiao Sacred Land was gone.

Palaces, pavilions, training grounds, Scripture Pavilion... everything ceased to exist.

Only a huge palm print remained, deeply embedded in the earth.

It was bottomless.

Gu Xuan withdrew his hand without even looking.

He turned and disappeared into the horizon.

The Zixiao Saint, who had been in closed-door cultivation for a thousand years, did not even know what happened when he died; he was slapped to death by a giant hand as soon as he came out of seclusion.

It was truly a life without hope!

Cultivating for so long, only to return to dust in the end!

...

In the distance.

Several passing high-level Cultivators were almost killed by the aftermath.

Several people collapsed on the ground, trembling all over.

"The... the Zixiao Sacred Land... is gone?"

"One slap... just one slap destroyed the Zixiao Sacred Land, how is this possible!"

"Who is that man in white?! When did such a monster appear in Qingyun Province?! Could it be a powerful expert from another major province?"

"A Saint?! No, even a Saint is not this strong! A Half-step Saint is even more impossible!"

"I have seen a Saint take action, and I have never seen anyone with such powerful strength. I am afraid this is not an expert from our Qingyun Province!"

"Could it be... a Saint King?!"

"Run, run! We cannot stay in this place!"

The group scrambled to escape.

The news swept through the entire Qingyun Province like a storm.

...

On the other side.

Gu Chen had just brought his clansmen back to the Family and had not yet had a chance to catch his breath.

First Elder Gu Yushan rushed over, with many clansmen behind him, all of them pale.

"Young Master! Something terrible has happened!"

Gu Chen's heart tightened, feeling that something bad had happened.

But he still steadied his mind and asked: "What is it?"

"Just now, news came that the Zixiao Sacred Land has been annihilated by someone!"

First Elder Gu Yushan thought that a Holy Land had been destroyed by someone, so Qingyun Province would definitely be in danger.

Even a Holy Land could be destroyed, let alone them, who were just a small Family.

He also did not know if that man would destroy a few Families just for fun because he was in a bad mood.

This matter caused panic!

Gu Chen's mind buzzed!

He had originally wanted to tell his clansmen that the Old Ancestor had gone to the Zixiao Sacred Land and to let them prepare.

Now he was told that the Zixiao Sacred Land had been destroyed?

"What?"

"Just a moment ago, someone saw a giant hand descend from the sky, and the entire Zixiao Sacred Land was wiped out with one slap!"

"The Holy Lord, Elders, and Disciples in the Holy Land were all wiped out!"

Gu Chen stood frozen in place.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The Old Ancestor had gone to the Zixiao Sacred Land and even said he had something to do!

And then the Zixiao Sacred Land was gone?

It couldn't be, right!!

A terrifying thought flashed through his mind!

This sudden news made him feel extremely shocked!

First Elder Gu Yushan was still saying: "I heard that the one who took action was a powerful expert in white clothes and white hair. No one knows who it is. With one slap, he turned the Holy Land into powder. What kind of strength is this!"

Gu Chen swallowed hard.

"First Elder, that white clothes and white hair you mentioned!"

"What about it?"

Gu Chen took a deep breath, his voice somewhat wavering.

"That might be our Old Ancestor!"

The whole place fell into silence!
