18: Chapter 18: Another Emperor Summoning Card! A Peak Half-Saint!

"This... This is impossible! What did I just see?!"

"What happened?!"

"A snap! Just a snap?! Those people all vanished!"

"Those were dozens of Yuheng Holy Land Disciples! They were all gone in an instant!"

"They're all dead?! All dead!"

"This is the rhythm of going against Yuheng Holy Land!"

Someone's legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the ground.

Someone subconsciously retreated, distancing themselves from Gu Xuan, wishing they could disappear immediately.

If only I had known, I wouldn't have come!

"That person in white... who is he?! How is he so terrifying?!"

"I remember now! Zixiao Sacred Land! Zixiao Sacred Land was wiped out by a single slap from a person in white!"

"It's him! It's definitely him!"

"The Gu Family! He is the Old Ancestor of the Gu Family!"

"Good heavens! The Gu Family is going to be Heaven-Defying! They don't hold Yuheng Holy Land in their eyes at all! They kill as they please, without even blinking!"

"This Qingyun Province is truly going to change!"

Terrifying!

Too terrifying!

Discussions surged like a tide; shock, fear, and awe were intertwined.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on that white-clothed, white-haired figure.

[Congratulations Host for exterminating the Holy Land pursuers, rewarded with a Summoning Card Gift Package]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining Eternal Realm Summoning Card X3]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining Quasi-Emperor Summoning Card X2]

[Congratulations Host for obtaining Great Emperor Summoning Card X1]

Another Great Emperor Summoning Card!

Not bad at all!

Feeling wonderful inside.

Gu Xuan withdrew his hand, turned his head to look at Gu Chen, his voice calm.

"Why are you just standing there? Go help them up!"

Gu Chen awoke as if from a dream, quickly turning around to help Gu Qingshan and several injured Gu Family Disciples along with the two little girls.

"Brother Qingshan, it's alright now, you're safe."

Gu Qingshan was still trembling all over, not out of fear, but because of shock!

He looked at the bloodstains on the ground, then at the white-clothed figure in the distance, his voice trembling!

"Gu Chen, is that really our Old Ancestor?"

"Mm."

Gu Chen nodded, his eyes filled with pride.

"The Old Ancestor killed dozens of Yuheng Holy Land people with one slap?" Gu Qingshan gasped!

"Not a slap, a snap." Gu Chen corrected.

After Gu Xuan came out earlier, he had exterminated those who came with a single snap.

He was already used to it.

He could only say that one gets used to it!

Gu Qingshan: "..."

He felt he might need a moment to calm down.

He didn't know if his brain was in chaos, or if he was hallucinating after being chased for so long!

It felt unreal!

Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua quickly took out Medicinal Pills for healing and gave them to Gu Qingshan and the others.

"Brother Qingshan, don't be afraid. With the Old Ancestor here, no one can bully our Gu Family!"

"That's right! Those bad guys just now disappeared in an instant! It was so amazing!"

The two little girls chattered away, their faces full of pride.

Gu Qingshan smiled bitterly and rubbed their heads.

"Alright, alright, with the Old Ancestor here, I'm not afraid."

He turned to look at Gu Xuan, struggling to kneel.

"Gu Family Disciple Gu Qingshan pays respects to the Old Ancestor! Thank you, Old Ancestor, for saving my life!"

Gu Xuan waved his hand, and Gu Qingshan's injuries instantly vanished.

"No need for formalities. You are a member of the Gu Family; it is only right for the Old Ancestor to protect you."

Gu Qingshan found it unbelievable; his body, which was on the verge of death just moments ago, had now recovered to its Peak state.

How is this possible!

Unbelievable!

Before Gu Qingshan could process the fact that his injuries had healed instantly, someone in the crowd suddenly screamed.

"Look! In the sky!"

Everyone looked up.

In the distant horizon, a dark mass appeared.

It wasn't dark clouds, but warships.

Three massive Spirit Boats, pitch black all over, with a ferocious beast head on the prow.

The word "Yuheng" was written on the bow.

Each one exuded the oppressive aura of a Peak Sovereign Realm.

The three warships approached side by side, blotting out the sky.

Several old men stood on the bows, their auras deep and profound; one could tell at a glance they were Elder-level figures!

One of them had white hair and beard, wore purple Daoist robes, and had sharp eyes.

He was a Peak Half-Saint!

"It's the Elders of Yuheng Holy Land!"

"Three warships! This formation, they must be here to support the Saint, right?"

"After all, this is a Saint King Secret Realm; the four Great Holy Lands value it, so it's normal for them to send Elders to escort the Disciples."

"This display, tsk tsk, worthy of a ten-thousand-year Holy Land."

The spectating Cultivators discussed amongst themselves, their eyes full of envy.

At the same time, strange phenomena appeared in the other three directions as well.

To the east, a cyan divine boat from Qingyun Holy Land tore through the air.

It was surrounded by various lights, and wherever it passed, it emitted bursts of sonic booms!

To the west, Tianxuan Holy Land's golden, magnificent imperial carriage was pulled by nine Spirit Beasts, moving slowly.

There was a small object on the carriage, yet it exuded the pressure of a Half-Saint!

To the south, Yaoguang Holy Land tore through the Void Realm directly, and a mobile palace flew out from it.

The four Great Holy Lands, each displaying their own Divine Ability.

The sky in front of the entrance to the Secret Realm was instantly illuminated by various lights.

The Loose Cultivators watched in astonishment.

"This is the foundation of a Holy Land!"

"We Loose Cultivators wouldn't even touch this threshold in our entire lives!"

"Perhaps it's only possible in dreams!"

"You're daydreaming!"

Gu Chen looked at those behemoths in the sky and subconsciously tightened his grip on his sword hilt.

To be honest, he was a bit panicked!

When Zixiao Sacred Land was wiped out before, the Old Ancestor did it alone; he wasn't at the scene.

He didn't know how the Old Ancestor had used his Divine Ability to destroy the Sacred Land back then.

Now facing them directly, looking at the display of the four Great Holy Lands, that sense of oppression was real.

Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua also went quiet, the two little girls shrinking behind Gu Chen.

The rest all moved behind Gu Xuan.

"Brother Gu Chen." Gu Qingqing called out softly.

"It's okay, the Old Ancestor is here." Gu Chen took a deep breath.

But his hands were also trembling slightly.

Gu Xuan looked at those flashy things in the sky and curled his lips slightly.

Flashy and gaudy.

Making such a big scene, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they had arrived.

Do true experts need such things?

The way of the weak.

Flaunting oneself in public just makes one die faster.

Not everyone is a Great Emperor like Gu Xuan.

When a Great Emperor travels, that's called style; what they are doing is purely pretending to be cool!

At this moment, on the warship of Yuheng Holy Land, that Peak Half-Saint Elder suddenly frowned.

He sensed something.

There was the residual bloody scent of Yuheng Holy Land Disciples on the ground!

And traces of battle.

His gaze swept over and landed on those pools of blood on the ground!

His expression changed drastically.

"Who touched my Yuheng Holy Land's people?"

The voice was like thunder, rolling down.

The pressure of a Peak Half-Saint pressed down overwhelmingly; the Loose Cultivators present changed color, and some knelt directly.

Gu Xuan stood in place, unmoving, a barrier appearing before him, isolating this pressure.

Leaving the people behind him feeling nothing at all.

The old man quickly locked onto Gu Xuan.

Because he was the only one in the entire crowd who had no reaction under his pressure.

The old man's eyes narrowed, he flew down from the warship, and landed ten zhang away in front of Gu Xuan.

The moment he saw Gu Xuan up close, the old man's heart skipped a beat.

This person, he couldn't see through him!
