749. Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan
A figure dressed in an ordinary gray robe, with white hair and beard, walked slowly out of the massive spatial rift, his hands behind his back. His face looked ordinary, his eyes had the cloudy look characteristic of an old man, and there was even a faint smile on his face as if he were seeing an old friend.
However, the moment he stepped into this area, the raging energy flowing throughout the world instantly calmed down and ceased its violent rampage.
One person can suppress the energy of heaven and earth; that's terrifying!
The four ancient clan Battle Saints, including Gu Zhao, almost simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Their tense expressions relaxed, and they all cast a gaze full of awe at the gray figure, performing the grand salute of ancient clans to express their respect.
Yao Ming was the only person besides the Gu Clan who knew Gu Yu, and he was also very clear about Gu Yu's status within the Gu Clan.
The Three Immortals of the Ancient Clan!
These three are undoubtedly core members of the Ancient Clan, a family descended from Dou Di (Battle Emperors). Each of them possesses terrifying power within the Ancient Clan. Apart from the clan leader and the Black Annihilation King, these three are the strongest and most powerful members of the Ancient Clan. There are even rumors that, in situations of disagreement, these three can even sway the clan leader's decision.
Gu Yu's appearance dispelled all the lingering hope that had risen in Yao Ming's heart.
The fact that Gu Yu appeared while no one else in the ancient clan had taken action means that the matter had already alarmed the true core leadership of the ancient clan.
Not to mention that Gu Yu himself is incredibly strong. It's safe to say that if this matter isn't handled properly, Gu Yu truly has the ability to wipe out all of these people from the Gu Clan today!
The Dou Sheng experts in Xiao Yan's group were under immense pressure. It was precisely because they were Dou Sheng that they could feel the vast difference in strength between themselves and Gu Yu. The gap between Dou Sheng could sometimes truly be instilling despair.
However, Yao Ming remained defiant and took a step forward. His queen was determined to take Xiao Yan away, and he had no other choice but to do his best to deal with the current situation.
Qinglin was extremely important to the Nine Netherworld Python clan and to Yao Ming personally. Without Qinglin, his own life might have been in danger. He would never have failed to complete the mission assigned by the Queen.
"Nine Netherworld Python Demon Ming greets Senior Gu Yu." Demon Ming presented Gu Yu with the respectful demeanor befitting a junior.
"Little demon, how many years has it been since the Nine Netherworld Python Clan visited our ancient clan? It seems they think we old folks are all dead." Gu Yu wore a faint smile on his face, as if he were seeing a long-lost junior. His tone was calm, even somewhat benevolent. However, the chill in his voice was terrifying.
Gu Yu made no attempt to hide her intention to hold someone accountable; clearly, today's incident could not be explained away simply by Yao Ming adopting a humble stance.
Yao Ming was also on high alert at this moment, and explained with an even more respectful expression: "Senior Gu Yu, what are you saying? It's just that the Nine Netherworld Python Clan and this young friend Xiao Yan have a deep connection. We only came here in a moment of urgency. We really didn't mean any disrespect to the Gu Clan."
Yao Ming adopted an extremely humble posture, and the several Dou Sheng powerhouses of the Nine Netherworld Pythons behind him, sensing their clan leader's precarious demeanor, involuntarily held their breath.
This is the formidable reputation of the three immortals of the ancient clan! Their mere appearance and a few simple words were enough to silence even a powerful figure like Yao Ming.
Gu Yu seemed unconcerned by Yao Ming's fearful response, simply nodding slightly and replying, "I suppose you wouldn't dare."
"Are you Xiao Yan?" Gu Yu asked, turning her gaze to Xiao Yan, who was now leaning against Little Fairy Doctor.
Xiao Yan's back wound had stopped bleeding slightly thanks to Little Fairy Doctor's secret treatment, but the Dou Sheng's attack was still too strong, and for a time, he hadn't even recovered a tenth of his strength. However, the light in Xiao Yan's eyes didn't disappear; even in this perilous situation, Xiao Yan was not prepared to give up!
"That's right! I am Xiao Yan!" Xiao Yan replied directly. Despite being at a complete disadvantage and being looked down upon by the top experts of the ancient clans, Xiao Yan's voice still carried his own pride, without a trace of flattery.
Xiao Yan still despised the people of the Ancient Clan. Each of them possessed strength above the Dou Sheng level and would immediately take action whenever they encountered an uncontrollable situation, but they insisted on pretending to be completely unaware of what was happening.
Gu Yu's smile seemed to deepen: "Not bad, you do have some of the air of an old friend. The Ancient Clan has been at peace for so many years, most people in the Central Plains have probably forgotten about us. And yet you killed two of our core commanders in our heartland."
"Such courage! I haven't seen anything like it in a long time." Gu Yu clapped his hands lightly, giving Xiao Yan extremely high praise, as if he were just an elder looking at a young man.
However, none of Xiao Yan's group relaxed. There must be more to Gu Yu's words than met the eye; saying them now was merely a ploy to first elevate the situation.
"After all, I am one of the three immortals of the ancient clan. It is impossible for me not to uphold the reputation of the ancient clan that has lasted for more than ten thousand years. If I let that person kill us all and get away unscathed, it would be a disgrace to my ancient clan."
Upon hearing this, the young commander of the ancient clan was greatly impressed, looking at Xiao Yan as if he already knew his fate!
In contrast, Yao Ming's face turned deathly pale instantly, clearly showing his extreme fear of Gu Yu.
"Then what should we do?" Xiao Yan's gaze met Gu Yu's directly, showing no sign of weakness or backing down.
When Gu Yu saw Xiao Yan's gaze, his previously highly refined self-control suddenly crumbled, and an inexplicable anger rose within him. However, on the surface, he maintained the composed demeanor of Gu Jin Wu Bo.
"However, there were reasons for what happened today, and you are still young. How about this, I will personally reduce your cultivation level, and then you must swear never to antagonize the ancient clans in this life. If you agree, then I will decide that today's matter is over."
Upon hearing this, Qinglin Little Fairy Doctor almost blurted out, "No way!"
Gu Yu seemed to completely ignore Xiao Yan and his group's reaction, instead looking directly at Xiao Yan and smiling, "As long as you do it, everyone here today can leave the Gu Clan safely!"
Qing Lin's pupils suddenly cleared, and his anger could no longer be suppressed. Gu Yu's actions were absolutely cruel, killing him outright. Xiao Yan had reached the Dou Zun realm at such a young age; the hardships he had endured were beyond the comprehension of outsiders. To suddenly reduce him to a cripple was even more vicious than simply killing him!
