Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World Chapter 1797 - 911: Fate Appears! Yun Family’s Allegiance (Part 2)

"Someone is approaching!"

Yun Gucheng was first startled upon hearing this, then showed a doubtful expression and shook his head, saying.

"Impossible! Lord of Destiny, it’s not that I’m boasting, but the arrays surrounding this courtyard are layered numerous times, with countless incognito, warning, defense, and counterattack arrays set up! Not to mention humans, I would detect even a hostile insect entering ten thousand feet away immediately! At this moment the arrays show no reaction, how could it..."

His words were abruptly interrupted —

"Yun Gucheng!!"

A cold, bone-chilling shout filled with towering rage erupted like a thunderclap, suddenly rolling through the night sky! The pressure within the voice had undeniably reached the Peak of Heaven King Realm!

"You have the audacity to steal the ’Flame Sun Heart Lamp,’ Supreme Treasure of the Holy Fire Sect! If you don’t hand it over nicely today, and destroy your own cultivation in repentance, I’ll personally grind your bones into dust!"

This voice ignited the fuse!

Immediately, from another direction, came a clanging voice like the clash of metal, holding murderous intent.

"Yun Gucheng! Did you steal our Heavenly Array Sect’s ’Ten Thousand Formation Map’? Return it within three breaths, or this place will be your burial ground!"

Another soft, eerie voice seemed to come from all directions.

"Hehe... Yun little brother, did you take the ’Drunken Immortal Guide’ from Wanhua Building to spend a lovely evening with me? However... I prefer men who listen. If you don’t return it soon, I’ll have to make you into flower fertilizer myself..."

Powerful auras exploded in the night sky one after another, like beacon fires ignited in the dark, firmly locking onto this unassuming little courtyard from all sides!

The shouting, threats, and demands rose one after another, surprisingly from powerful figures of well-known forces in the Central Province, such as the Holy Fire Sect, Heavenly Array Sect, and Wanhua Building, who had simultaneously confronted Yun Gucheng!

The color drained from Yun Gucheng’s face in an instant, disbelief written on his face as he glanced towards the night sky and then at the calm expression of Gu Sheng beside him, his heart sinking into an icy abyss!

Just as those powerful auras locked onto the courtyard, the shouting continued —

"Buzz!"

A muffled buzzing resonated through the night sky!

A massive, semi-transparent egg-shaped restriction suddenly loomed down from the heavens like an overturned giant bowl, emanating an indescribable majestic aura, and descended, enveloping and sealing Yun Gucheng’s small courtyard along with several hundred feet around it! Runes flowed on the light barrier of the restriction, clearly beyond ordinary means to break!

Yun Gucheng’s expression changed from initial disbelief to a cold and heavy composure.

He suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Sheng beside him, eyes full of suspicion and anger, his voice squeezing out through gritted teeth.

"Was it you?! Did you lead them here?!"

Even amidst this sudden turn of events and Yun Gucheng’s questioning, Gu Sheng remained calm. He shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the powerful figures faintly visible in the night sky, and spoke indifferently.

"I am not in league with them.

It seems these individuals carry special Magical Treasures to conceal their auras, only upon approaching within ten thousand feet did I sense it. I planned to advise you to leave quickly, but unfortunately, it’s already too late."

His explanation seemed reasonable, Yun Gucheng stared into his eyes for several breaths, finding no sign of deceit, his suspicions slightly eased, but the severity of the situation left him no time for deliberation.

He was silent for a moment, his face flashing decisiveness, speaking sternly.

"I must take Meng’er away! Soon I will forcefully tear open this restriction!"

He quickly instructed Gu Sheng for the aftermath.

"In the hidden chamber of my Yun Family’s old residence, there is an Inheritance Jade Talisman that can only be opened with Meng’er’s Bloodline Power! There might be a method inside to sustain her life. I will burn all my remaining life force, which should hold these people for ten breaths! Lord of Destiny, please, take Meng’er away!"

With that, he was about to turn and rush back to the chamber.

Gu Sheng remained unmoving, a frown appearing on his forehead.

Yun Gucheng saw him remain still, his heart anxious and aflame, he couldn’t help but shout.

"Lord of Destiny! Hurry! I can only bet on this, trusting you! If we delay any longer, all three of us will die here!"

No longer hesitating, he rushed back into the room, his hands swiftly sealing, the light of the "Nine Revolutions Rebirth Array" enveloping Yun Meng quickly coalesced, finally forming a palm-sized, radiant Array Plate. Yun Meng’s figure quietly hovered above the Array Plate, gently enveloped in a transparent spiritual light, still sleeping.

Yun Gucheng stuffed the Array Plate into Gu Sheng’s hands, his eyes heavy with entrustment and plea.

Gu Sheng accepted the Array Plate, watching Yun Gucheng’s body beginning to burn with faint golden flames, his vitality frantically being consumed like a flood bursting through a dam, finally spoke, his voice still calm.

"Is there truly... no room for negotiation?"

Yun Gucheng showed a bitter smile, shaking his head.

"Those things... I had long exchanged them for Spirit Stones, to buy Spiritual Medicine for Meng’er’s life support and the Crystal Stones for this array... Now that several households appear together, they must have been watching me closely, just waiting for me to appear! Today... it won’t end peacefully!"

As if to affirm his words —

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Several ribbon-like True Qi, containing terrifying power, poured down like the Nine Heavens Milky Way, fiercely striking against the egg-shell restriction over the courtyard from various directions in the night sky!

The light barrier of the restriction trembled violently, groaning under the unbearable weight, its light erratic, seemingly about to shatter at any moment! The shouting and roaring from outside were deafening, filled with murderous intent!

Gu Sheng’s gaze swept through the night sky, his mind racing in search of a breakthrough plan. Force an escape? Or...

Yun Gucheng saw Gu Sheng remain unmoved, not taking his sister to flee, his heart a mix of anxiety and anger, more so a sense of powerlessness and despair.

He clamped his teeth, no longer hoping for Gu Sheng, the golden flames around him suddenly surged violently! His hair turned gray, his skin lost its luster, as if aged several decades in an instant! This was a momentary power gained by sacrificing most of his life force!

"Protect Meng’er for me—!"

He let out a roar like a dying beast, pushing the Array Plate towards Gu Sheng’s chest, turning into a decisive golden meteor, with an unstoppable momentum, intent on perishing with the enemy, soaring into the sky, unexpectedly facing the barrage of attacks head-on, hoping to win a slim chance of escape for Gu Sheng and his sister!

Gu Sheng sensed Yun Gucheng’s rapidly fading life force, like a candle in the wind, his frown deepening.

However, just as Yun Gucheng was about to meet those furious True Qi ribbons head-on —

An anomaly occurred once more!

A gigantic, pristine white hand, seemingly carved from the purest jade, effortlessly tore through the Void, appearing above the courtyard!

This hand seemed slow, but was in fact faster than lightning, the pressure it emitted vast as the starry sea, heavy as Mount Meru! It simply pressed down lightly!

"Pop...!"

Those True Qi ribbons, powerful enough to crush the Peak of Heaven King Realm, were as fragile as bubbles before this jade hand, vanished and dissipated without stirring a ripple!

Simultaneously, Yun Gucheng, who had burned his life force, transforming into a golden meteor soaring into the sky, collided as if against an invisible copper wall!

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, he was slapped back to the ground by the jade hand even faster than when he rose, crashing heavily into the courtyard, the golden flames extinguished instantly.

His wild aura was smothered as if doused by ice water, his body collapsing on the ground, vomiting blood, not even having the strength to struggle to his feet, the Secret Technique of burning life force forcibly interrupted!

A figure quietly appeared in the midst of the air.

It was a young man in a moon-white robe, his features tranquil and jade-like, looking barely over twenty.

He stood with his hands behind his back, eyes calm, as if he had merely brushed away a speck of dust.
