Chapter 13: Do You Know What My Appearance Represents?
The people of Purple Cloud Holy Land were all dumbfounded. The most powerful ancestor in the Holy Land was swallowed by this guy's avatar in one gulp, without any resistance? Even a fart would leave some odor, but the Saint King Ancestor, after appearing and asking just one question, was already dead.
At this moment, Mu Huatian's eyes were filled with fear as he finally remembered what Brother Zhou had said in the letter.
Only now did he understand why Zhou Yunmo had died so quickly. It was truly not unjust!
Zhou Xingchen couldn't bear the torment and looked at Taotie.
"What do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, I just want revenge. Life for a life."
Zhou Xingchen fell silent, suddenly recalling a young man he had killed before who claimed to be from the Gu family. The young man had threatened that if anyone dared to kill him, his entire nine clans would be destroyed.
At that time, Zhou Xingchen had gained martial arts skills and his strength had improved further. Naturally, his ambition grew, and he had boasted about destroying the Gu family to bury that person.
Could this be someone from that family?
Zhou Xingchen gave a bitter smile.
Gu Qingxiao, observing Zhou Xingchen in the void, had just heard the system's prompt sound in his mind:
[The powerful Saint King of the Purple Cloud Holy Land has been destroyed, the luck of the Son of Destiny has decreased by 10,000.]
Gu Qingxiao looked at the panel of the Son of Destiny:
Name: Zhou Xingchen
Identity: Son of Destiny, child of the youngest daughter of the Lin family in the Lindao Domain
Physique: Star Spirit
Aura: Child of Destiny Aura
Skill: Star Attraction
Luck Value: 90,000
It appears that the golden finger of this Son of Destiny is this technique, Star Attraction.
Gu Qingxiao had not guessed wrong. The family had a technique, the Star Attraction, which was the martial art of the former Star Emperor, though the family only possessed a small part of it.
Gu Qiuyu practiced this technique, which explained the connection.
Taotie, seeing that no one was disturbing him, showed a satisfied expression.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked into the void.
At this moment, a black dot appeared in the void and continued to expand.
It soon covered the entire void, and then three figures emerged from it.
The three wore white brocade robes with two purple characters embroidered on their chests: "Zhen Yuan."
Upon seeing this, the people of Purple Cloud Holy Land fell silent, their hope rekindled. This was the Zhenyuan Domain, and what the term Zhenyuan represented was self-evident.
As the three appeared and looked at Taotie, one of them spoke:
"May I ask what this Daoist fellow's intentions are? You have killed so many people in our Zhenyuan Domain and you're acting so ostentatious. Has our Zhenyuan Domain offended you in any way?"
Taotie looked at the three figures in the void.
"You have no right to inquire. I advise you to leave, or you will be the ones who suffer. This matter has nothing to do with you; just pretend you didn't see it."
Hearing Taotie's words, the three were momentarily stunned and their expressions darkened.
"Fellow Daoist seems unfamiliar. May I ask if I, the Zhenyuan Saint Master, am qualified to know?"
At this moment, a voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
Then a shadow appeared before everyone and solidified.
The people of the Purple Cloud Holy Land bowed respectfully when they saw the Zhenyuan Saint Master.
Taotie withdrew his imposing aura and also bowed respectfully.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master's expression showed confusion as he looked at where Taotie had bowed.
There, the azure dao rhythm continually revealed itself.
Subsequently, a Green Jade Qilin appeared, pulling a massive palace behind it.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master and the three people behind him were shocked by this scene. Using a divine beast to pull a carriage was quite a grand display.
The people of the Purple Cloud Holy Land were already numb. Just the divine beast pulling the carriage could destroy them.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master came back to his senses and wanted to see the people inside the palace.
"Leave."
A voice came from within, and upon hearing it, the Zhenyuan Saint Master's face showed surprise. The owner of the voice sounded very young.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master took a deep breath. As the ruler of the Zhenyuan Domain, to arrive and not even see the people inside, and to be asked to leave, was quite frustrating.
"Fellow Daoist, please come out and meet me."
The Zhenyuan Saint Master's spiritual energy flowed, and this time his voice was a bit louder.
Immediately, the Zhenyuan Saint Master's expression darkened. He had tried to use spiritual energy to disperse the mist in the palace, but it didn't even ripple.
Moreover, the Zhenyuan Saint Master saw that the Green Jade Qilin looked at him with disdain. Unsure, he took another look, and indeed, it was disdain.
The Green Jade Qilin regarded the weakling in front of it with contempt and smirked.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master felt somewhat depressed.
"Why bother?"
"Do you know what my appearance represents?"
A voice came from within.
Upon hearing the voice, the Zhenyuan Saint Master took a deep breath.
"Fellow Daoist, please come out and meet me."
Footsteps echoed from within the palace.
Then the mist in the palace dispersed.
Soon, a figure with fair skin, a very handsome face, and lazy phoenix eyes appeared. The red brocade robe made the man look even more handsome, like an exiled immortal.
At this moment, the world was silent. They had never seen such a handsome man.
Taotie smiled like a fool.
At this time, Mu Qingxi, looking at Gu Qingxiao, felt her heart skip a beat. She stared at the man for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Xingchen. In comparison, she found Zhou Xingchen somewhat lacking.
The Zhenyuan Saint Master looked at Gu Qingxiao, and after the initial shock, realized he had never seen this young man before.
"May I ask which family this young master is from?"
"You don't need to know. The Purple Cloud Holy Land will no longer exist."
Gu Qingxiao's calm words exploded in the Zhenyuan Saint Master's ears.
The four members of the Purple Cloud Holy Land had their pupils contract. They thought they had misheard.
At this moment, a figure appeared beside Gu Qingxiao.
"There are only two Saint Emperor-level experts."
Gu Qingxiao nodded.
The figure then left Gu Qingxiao's side and glanced at the three people.
"Let's go. I'll take you to the ground."
After the Zhenyuan Saint Master left, many people from the Purple Cloud Holy Land were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.
One word had decided the fate of a Holy Land, and it was the most powerful force in the Zhenyuan Domain, the Purple Cloud Holy Land.
Even two Saint Emperor-level experts were disregarded.
Only Taotie understood what Gu Qingxiao's appearance represented. Wearing red, it symbolized slaughter. Just appearing before people meant death.
At this moment, in the sky above the Purple Cloud Holy Land, the old man waved his hand, and the sky turned black.
Then a giant hand appeared from the darkness and directly descended upon the Purple Cloud Holy Land.
"Rumbling."
The sounds of trembling continued. Seeing that no life survived in the Purple Cloud Holy Land, the old man nodded with satisfaction. Coming out with the Son was exhilarating. As he was about to leave, he paused for a moment and then clapped a few more times.
"Since you're being disobedient. Here are a few more claps for you."
The old man left, the place had turned into a lifeless ruin.
