Chapter 20: They Felt Like They Had Just Seen Their Dead Ancestor

Gu Qingxiao opened the system mall and his gaze flickered as he spotted an item inside. Soon, an object appeared in his hand.

"Origin of Taotie."

This item was priced at 50,000 villain points, and Gu Qingxiao then infused it into the body of Taotie.

Taotie's body trembled, his aura slightly increased. After looking at Gu Qingxiao, who had closed his eyes, his gaze flickered again, and then he revealed a smile while sitting cross-legged in the great hall.

"You heal me, and I'll protect you for a lifetime."

Although the origin within Taotie was damaged, Gu Qingxiao had been inadvertently helping him over the years. As for why his own origin was lost, he could no longer remember. All he knew now was that he had to protect Gu Qingxiao.

When the two of them opened their eyes again, they had arrived at the Fengyuan Domain.

Taotie opened his eyes and looked at the crowd below in the square, revealing a cold smile.

"Divine Son, I'm going down to have some fun."

Gu Qingxiao opened his eyes and nodded.

At this moment, the leaders of the Bloodshed Mansion, Haotian Holy Land, Xuantian Pavilion, and Guiyi Pavilion were looking at the rankings on the stone tablet.

The leader of Haotian smiled when he saw his disciple ranked first.

Especially the name at the top: Xiao Muchen.

He hadn't expected that this disciple would rank first in this trial among the four major sects.

Not only that, but he was also over ten thousand points ahead of the second place, making it nearly impossible for anyone to catch up. It was secured.

"Haotian's leader is quite hidden; I didn't expect your sect's prodigy to be so low-key."

"Haha, your disciples are not bad either; their performance and strength are commendable. Muchen just has good luck."

As they watched, the leader of Haotian smiled broadly, but the others looked on with disdain, although a hint of envy was present. After all, they had believed their disciples would secure first place in this secret realm trial, only to be overtaken by a disciple whose name they had never heard before.

With a gap of over ten thousand points, it was too large to catch up!

At that moment, a golden light flickered above Xiao Muchen's name, and his points increased by over twenty thousand.

"Wow, Haotian's leader, what kind of strength does your disciple have? Twenty thousand points? He must have killed a True Person Realm beast, right?"

The leader of Haotian was also taken aback.

"Wasn't this disciple only at the early stage of Dawn before?"

"It seems your sect's disciple has been hiding his strength."

The leader of Haotian remained silent, while the other leaders' eyes flickered as well.

If the disciple from Haotian Holy Land had broken through to the True Person Realm, it would be terrifying. The balance of power in Fengyuan Domain could change; the four major sects had dominated for so long, and a change in the power dynamics was something they did not want to see.

But for now, they were still smiling and did not take action.

"Hello there!"

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out behind them.

Hearing this voice, the four turned around.

They saw a man clad in armor, exuding a fierce aura but with a gentle smile on his face.

"Who are you?"

The leader of Haotian asked, looking at Taotie.

At the same time, the four of them became vigilant. After all, this man had appeared behind them silently, and his fierce aura clearly indicated he was not to be trifled with.

"I am Gu Taotie. I'm here to find Xiao Muchen. Do you know where he is?"

The three men beside him fell silent upon hearing the armored man's words. If he was looking for Xiao Muchen, he wasn't seeking trouble with them, so this matter was none of their concern.

They looked at the leader of Haotian.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for the true disciple of Haotian Holy Land?"

Upon hearing the leader's question, Taotie glanced at the stone tablet behind him and saw a name, smiling slightly.

Taotie did not know that his smile made the four men shudder.

"Of course, I'm here to play with him. After all, one should repay their debts, whether it's a grudge or a favor, don't you think?"

"He killed a disciple of my family; isn't it fair for us to retaliate?"

"And even if it is unfair, what can you do about it?"

Upon hearing Taotie's words, the leader of Haotian felt that this person was insane.

"I advise you to leave quickly; this is not a place for you to act recklessly."

"Hahaha."

Taotie laughed heartily as he approached the leader of Haotian.

The leader's pupils constricted, and then a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Boom."

A loud explosion echoed through the void. At this moment, the leader of Haotian turned pale, his bones reflecting light in the sunlight.

"I don't like your tone, so kneel. I'd prefer that."

"Do you want to try it out? I can give you a chance; you can all attack together."

Taotie looked at the three men beside him, who were fidgeting, and asked with a smile.

The three men dared not speak and took a step back, becoming defensive.

"From now on, speak more politely; your strength is lacking."

"Ranked first, that's impressive. You're quite a prodigy!"

After saying this, Taotie closed his eyes.

He then extended his hands as if grasping something.

"Come out."

"Boom."

The sky darkened, and thousands of thunderbolts exploded.

Following that, Dao symbols and rhythms began to emerge.

Taotie held his hands out as if he was grasping something.

Soon, a secret realm appeared in the sky.

Looking at the secret realm, Taotie's laughter grew even louder.

But at this moment, the leader of Haotian and the three men beside him had their eyes wide open, even forgetting to breathe.

What were they seeing? This armored man was pulling out the secret realm, pulling it out.

In their entire lives, they had never seen anything so outrageous. Today, they witnessed it firsthand.

No wonder this guy could incapacitate the leader of Haotian with a single move.

At that moment, they finally realized who they were facing.

Suddenly, they remembered something about the introduction of this armored man.

"Gu Taotie."

Could this be the Gu family with the quasi-Emperor level powerhouse?

"A mere trashy secret realm dares to struggle? Break apart!"

Taotie roared angrily, applying force with both hands. A compressive force emerged, shattering the void and annihilating thousands of thunderbolts.

The secret realm immediately started cracking, the sound of it breaking was like thunder, echoing in their ears.

As the secret realm exploded, several figures emerged, looking dazed and confused, not knowing what had just happened.

They had only felt the secret realm tremble slightly moments ago, but now they felt as if they had seen their deceased ancestor.
