17: Chapter 17 Summoning Card Gift Pack: Easily Annihilate Pursuers

Gu Chen looked closely, and his expression changed drastically.

Among those few people in tattered clothes, covered in blood, was a face he knew all too well.

Gu Qingshan, the son of Elder Gu Kong, was two years older than Gu Chen, and they had grown up together.

He had gone out for training several months ago and hadn't returned.

When the Family suffered a disaster, Gu Chen had been glad he wasn't there, at least escaping that calamity.

"Pursue! Don't let them escape!"

Dozens of Yuheng Holy Land Disciples were in hot pursuit, led by someone at the Peak of the Spirit Sea Realm.

His eyes were sinister, and his lips curled into a playful smirk, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Run, why aren't you running anymore?"

Gu Qingshan and the few Gu Family Disciples beside him were surrounded.

Their wounds were still seeping blood, their Qi was nearly exhausted, and they could barely stand.

"You Yuheng Holy Land, you bully people too much!" Gu Qingshan gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

Originally, he had gone out for training, and upon hearing the Family was in trouble, he had wanted to rush back, but then heard the crisis was resolved and that they had obtained many good things.

At the same time, he heard the Secret Realm was opening, so he thought he would explore it first, and it wouldn't be too late to return to the Family after obtaining an Opportunity.

On the road, he encountered a few Yuheng Holy Land Disciples harassing innocent women, and unable to watch, he stepped in to help.

He didn't expect those people, relying on their status as a Holy Land, to not only refuse to stop but instead gather people to hunt them down.

They had been chased from a thousand miles away to here, hoping to enter the Secret Realm and then escape these people from the Holy Land.

But he hadn't expected the Secret Realm to not be open yet!

This left him at a loss for what to do.

The leader sneered, "You few death-seeking things, daring to meddle in our Yuheng Holy Land's business; it's being polite that we didn't beat you to death on the spot."

A Disciple beside him also scoffed, "Exactly! Trash from some small Family, daring to play the hero? Being noticed by us is those two girls' good fortune!"

The Cultivators watching from the side whispered among themselves.

"Yuheng Holy Land is bullying people again..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, do you not want to live? Those are people from a Holy Land."

"Those people from the small Family are unlucky too, why provoke anyone but the Yuheng Holy Land."

"It's over, it's over, they've been chased to the entrance of the Secret Realm, they can't escape now."

Gu Qingshan looked around, a trace of despair flashing in his eyes.

They had already fled over a thousand miles, thinking that if they rushed into the crowded area at the Secret Realm entrance, the people from the Yuheng Holy Land would have some reservations.

He hadn't expected the other party not to care at all!

"I'll give you one last chance." The leader spoke slowly.

"Kneel down, kowtow three times, and cut off one arm, and I might consider sparing your dog lives."

"Otherwise!"

He raised his hand and pointed to the cliff beside the entrance to the Secret Realm.

"That will be your burial ground."

Gu Qingshan smiled bitterly and gripped his sword tightly.

"Gu Family Disciples would rather die than kneel!"

The Gu Family Disciples beside him also gritted their teeth; although they were trembling all over, not one of them bowed their heads.

"Good, you have spirit, then I shall fulfill your wish!"

He raised his hand, gathering his Qi, and struck down with his palm!

The palm wind howled; a full-strength strike from a Peak Spirit Sea Realm expert was enough to blast these few Gu Family Disciples into pulp.

Gu Qingshan closed his eyes.

At that very moment!

"Stop!"

A violent shout, like a thunderclap, exploded!

Immediately after, a beam of Sword Qi tore through the air, heading straight for the leader's face!

The leader's expression changed, and he retracted his palm to block.

Clang!

The sword body was shattered, and the power that erupted instantly suffocated the leader!

He immediately summoned his Magic Treasure to resist the terrifying power.

Unexpectedly, even after bringing out the Magic Treasure, he still couldn't block the might of this Sword Qi, and the few people behind him immediately stepped in to help defend!

The combined block of dozens of people barely managed to withstand Gu Chen's strike!

"Who is it?"

He glared in that direction.

Gu Chen held the Hidden Abyss Emperor Dragon Sword, standing in front of Gu Qingshan with cold eyes.

Behind him, Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua stood left and right, fire and ice ready to be unleashed.

"Gu Chen?!"

Gu Qingshan was stunned after seeing who had arrived.

Then he became anxious.

"You guys leave quickly! Don't worry about me! They are people from the Yuheng Holy Land!"

Gu Chen did not turn around; his voice was very calm.

"Brother Qingshan, rest assured, they cannot touch us!"

With the Old Ancestor here, what was there to panic about? Just fight!

If the other side called for backup, then he would call for backup too!

"But!"

"No more buts, with the Old Ancestor here, no one can touch you today!" Gu Chen interrupted him.

Old Ancestor?

Gu Qingshan was stunned and followed Gu Chen's gaze.

Not far away, a figure in white clothes and white hair stood with hands behind his back, his eyes indifferent, looking toward this side.

Gu Qingshan had never met Gu Xuan, but at that moment, he inexplicably felt a sense of peace.

At the same time, the leader also noticed Gu Xuan, looked him up and down, couldn't see any cultivation base, assumed he was an old man from some small Family, and immediately sneered.

He had bullied plenty of people like this.

Lightly, he would break their legs; heavily, he would kill them outright!

An old immortal thing, actually thinking he was invincible!

"Coming to throw your lives away too?"

"You are all together, right? Perfect, I'll take care of you all at once."

He swept a glance at Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua, and his eyes lit up.

"Yo, these two little girls look pretty good! These are the most tender ones! Take them back to offer to the Saint, there will definitely be a heavy reward."

"Brothers, do it! Kill the men, capture the women!"

Dozens of Yuheng Holy Land Disciples responded in unison, drawing their swords and surrounding them.

The watching Cultivators retreated one after another, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

"It's over, it's over, these few are probably done for."

"Dozens of people from the Yuheng Holy Land, with a Holy Land backing them, how can they fight this?"

"What a pity for those two little girls!"

Just at this moment!

[Ding! System task issued!]

[Gu Family members are being bullied, how can the Host stand idly by?]

[Eliminate the pursuers, establish prestige for the Gu Family!]

[Task Reward: Summoning Card Gift Package!]

Gu Xuan's lips curled slightly.

Summoning Card Gift Package?

Good stuff!

Maybe there's even an Emperor Summoning Card!

But even without a reward, these people deserved to die.

Bullying the Gu Family only leads to a dead end!

"Do it!" the leader ordered.

Dozens of Yuheng Holy Land Disciples attacked simultaneously, various Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills raining down overwhelmingly toward Gu Chen and the others.

Gu Chen gripped the sword hilt, preparing to take it head-on!

The next second.

Snap!

A soft sound.

It was not the collision of weapons, nor the explosion of Qi.

It was just a simple, snap of the fingers!

And then!

All the Yuheng Holy Land Disciples froze simultaneously.

The weapons in their hands hung in mid-air.

The attacks they launched stopped halfway.

Time seemed to have stopped!

Immediately after.

Boom!!!

Dozens of people exploded simultaneously!

Turning into a sky full of blood mist, not even having time to let out a scream!

The blood mist drifted, falling to the ground, falling on the faces of the watching Cultivators!

The whole scene was deathly silent.

The Yuheng Holy Land Disciples, who were aggressive just a breath ago, were left with not even a residue a breath later!

The leader, without even reacting, disappeared completely along with his subordinates.

Only the pools of blood on the ground proved that they had existed just moments ago.

Silence.

You could hear a pin drop.

Everyone widened their eyes, opened their mouths wide, their minds completely blank.
