In an instant, his interest soared.

Originally, he thought this trip was just to deal with the so-called Gu God, but now it seems that there might be a big secret behind this Gu God.

"Jiu, how about it? Did you notice anything unusual?" Seeing Ning Qi return to normal, Qin Yun asked, worried that this unknown matter might harm Lan Yiyi.

Ning Qi slowly shook his head:

"I can't see it for now, just have some speculations."

He looked at Lan Yiyi and asked:

"Miss Lan, have you ever seen this Gu God?"

Lan Yiyi shook her head:

"Never seen him, although he tests my Secret Technique progress from time to time, he never reveals his true face. But do you have any guesses?"

For some reason, she suddenly became nervous.

Ning Qi said slowly:

"If my guess is correct, the Gu God might be your blood relative."

Lan Yiyi was dumbfounded, as if a bolt from the blue struck her mind.

"How could that be?!" She kept shaking her head, her voice a bit sharp.

Qin Yun's eyes also widened.

Lan Yiyi staggered slightly:

"My parents were devoured by beasts shortly after I was born, how could the Gu God be related to me? Are you mistaken?"

Ning Qi slightly shook his head:

"It's just my speculation for now. The truth can only be known when we meet the Gu God."

Lan Yiyi was at a loss.

Her worldview was shocked.

Qin Yun supported her, offering low murmurs of comfort.

If Ning Qi's speculation was true, it would be somewhat cruel for Lan Yiyi, almost saying that she was born as a tool, and her previous life was full of deceit and falsehood.

"Let's go meet this Gu God." Ning Qi became more vigilant.

Though his power was immense, he never underestimated anyone, especially when this Gu God appeared not to be simple. Naturally, he would be more cautious. Fortunately, after obtaining the Great Sun Compass, his combat ability improved, allowing him to safely retreat unless meeting with someone of the level of a Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint.

Ning Qi swiftly led the two through the sky.

Lan Yiyi pointed the way.

She had fled for a long time to escape here, but for Ning Qi, it was quick.

A series of poisonous mists changed Qin Yun's expression, but under the protection of the white True Dragon, they were as stable as a mountain.

Lan Yiyi had adjusted a lot.

But the closer they got to the Southern Border Ancestral Land, the more complicated her mood became. She dearly hoped Ning Qi's guess was wrong; she preferred the Gu God to be just a stranger.

The Ancestral Land was in sight.

Ning Qi's eyes glimmered with gold as he saw the variously styled stilted buildings, especially the central shrine that seemed to have a powerful aura slumbering, but fortunately, still within his dealing range.

He didn't rush forward but stopped in the void under the surprised gazes of Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi.

Since the enemy was sleeping.

Preparation was better.

With a thought, peculiar aura jade stones flew out from the Yu King Pearl. Then, as spiritual power merged within them, the jade stones shone even brighter with runes appearing on them.

Ning Qi waved his hand.

A total of eighty-one jade runes swirled and, under the amazed gaze of Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi, dispersed and landed in special positions around the Ancestral Land.

"Array, rise!" Ning Qi commanded internally.

Instantly.

Their eyes widened.

They saw that around the Ancestral Land, amidst the mists, white mist was rising. Initially thin, it quickly grew dense, and Qin Yun attempted to project his Divine Intent for perception but found himself unable to penetrate.

"This... this is..." Qin Yun, having heard Ye Qinghe and others speak about the True Martial inheritance, immediately reacted.

Ning Qi smiled:

"A small insight."

That day, he gained insight from the power of white mist in the True Martial Hall, realizing the wonderful changes when a Qimen Array combines with spiritual power. After spending time comprehending it, he managed to barely replicate the white mist of the inheritance place.

It's a good start.

Deploying it now amazed the two.

Ning Qi's idea was simple.

Advance to trap the enemy, retreat to delay, whichever the situation, inherently undefeated, why not?

At this moment.

Within the Ancestral Land, strong practitioners of the Celestial Human Realm gradually sensed something amiss.

The dense white mist around conveyed eeriness, even gradually invading inwards. They had been tensely guarding the Ancestral Land, waiting for good news from Red Flame and others, but unexpectedly faced such a change.

"Who is there?!"

Shouts erupted.

Strong figures from the Southern Border soared into the sky, unleashing their power without restraint. Vaguely, they saw three figures but couldn't perceive clearly. This bizarre scene tightened their hearts.

Ning Qi remained silent.

He gazed at the central shrine in the Ancestral Land and waved his hand, conjuring Celestial Swords. Under the reflection of the white mist, the Celestial Swords dotted like stars, mesmerizing and filled with killing intent.

The next moment.

The Celestial Swords descended in grandeur.

Boom!

All the Southern Border strong figures widened their eyes, watching the rain of Celestial Swords falling, the terrifying sharp aura intertwining, filling the Ancestral Land with Sword Qi.

Everything was reduced to dust.

Celestial Human Realm practitioners under such Celestial Swords were like ants, let alone others.

Cries of misery abruptly ceased.

The drum towers collapsed instantly.

Various strange Gu Insects bloomed like ephemeral flowers, showing their might before being wiped out.

Ning Qi's expression remained calm.

Once deciding to act, he would uproot the enemy.

Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi inhaled sharply at this scene, overwhelmed by the sheer power.

Yet, this was just part of the Celestial Swords.

Ning Qi formed a Sword Technique with his hands, transforming the remaining Celestial Swords into a giant Celestial Sword.

Rumble!

The giant Celestial Sword traversed space, descending like a mountain, with a heart-rending hum, targeting the still intact shrine.

The previous attacks were mere extras.

This strike was crucial.

Facing this unknown opponent, Ning Qi didn't hold back from the start.

"No!!" Survivors screamed desperately.

The Gu God was their faith.

Under the tense watch of Qin Yun and Lan Yiyi, the giant Celestial Sword fell.

Boom!

A violent tremor echoed through the sky, and almost instantly, the shrine turned to dust, terrifying ripples spreading around, and the few survivors from the previous rain of swords dissolved into a blood mist in the aftermath.

The Southern Border Ancestral Land had become ruins.

"Is the Gu God dead?" Qin Yun couldn't help but whisper.

Witnessing Ning Qi's terrifying power firsthand, he was awestruck.

Dust filled the air.

But Ning Qi slightly furrowed his brows; in his perception, though the strong aura had weakened, it was clearly still present.

"Some tricks."

Originally, he wanted a grand attack while the opponent seemed to sleep, but it didn't work well. Clearly, the opponent had set some measures before sleeping.

Lan Yiyi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and her body trembled slightly.

She saw.

Amidst the dust, a dazzling golden light rose and then gradually gathered, transforming into a golden figure. The figure walked slowly through the dust, very slowly, yet a peculiar bloodline resonance kept throbbing. Lan Yiyi felt her heart beating rapidly, faster than ever before.

Her face twisted in pain.

Until the golden figure finally stepped out of the dust.

Qin Yun's pupils shrank sharply.

The figure was shrouded in a faint golden light, seemingly emanating from within, giving him a somewhat divine presence.

This was a handsome middle-aged man, and if looked closely, his brows and eyes bore six or seven likenesses to Lan Yiyi.

The middle-aged man looked at Ning Qi and the others, finally resting his gaze on Lan Yiyi. He smiled, an extremely bright smile:

"You truly are my good daughter, knowing your father is just one step away and proactively coming to me. It was worth my painstaking cultivation of you."
