Tianluo Mountain.

With a beginner-level innate martial artist in charge, the faction was gripped by fear after hearing that all the martial artists who planned to go to the mortal world had died, and about the four earth-shattering sword marks.

Because the group that crossed the boundary included many experts at the level of their ancestors, the martial artists in the vicinity were afraid of being affected and had already fled to other cities or major powers, planning to return after a while.

But they belong to the same sect, how can they escape?

If other forces see this, they'll think they're going to seize the mountain.

Inside the main hall, just as one of the elders was still pondering and hesitating, a golden palm print blasted open the hall door and entered.

"who?"

An elderly man with gray hair and beard immediately shouted coldly. He was the strongest person here, a beginner-level Innate Martial Artist. The other elders also looked over and, upon discovering that it was a young man, their faces suddenly darkened.

"You ignorant brat, trespassing into the main hall without wearing the robes of my Tianluo Mountain disciples, which faction do you belong to?"

Another old man asked, looking back and forth, trying to recognize him.

"Hehe, why do you all think I'm a disciple of Tianluo Mountain?"

Gu Yan waved his hand and laughed, taking a step forward to the main seat. He threw the old men down the steps and sat down himself.

Such terrifying speed and strength startled everyone in the hall, especially their ancestor, who was tumbling down before he even knew what was happening.

"Senior, I was blind just now, please forgive me."

After he finished rolling around, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, while waving his hand at the others.

They immediately knelt on the ground, staring in terror at the young blond boy above them, cold sweat beading on their foreheads, as if they had realized something.

"Please rise, everyone. I have come to ask you for some information, not to kill you."

Gu Yan glanced at the group of martial artists below, smiled and spoke, then closed his golden eyes and released his divine sense across the entire mountain.

The next instant, two graceful figures in green robes flew into the main hall and landed right in front of him.

A beautiful woman who looked to be in her early thirties and a girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a similar appearance, stared blankly at their surroundings. Before they could react, a jade-like finger brushed across their faces.

Ah~

The two women were so frightened that they immediately hugged each other.

A middle-aged man in the audience widened his eyes, gritted his teeth, and was about to speak when his ancestor stopped him, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:

"Senior, they are disciples of our mountain. Since you don't mind, please take them back as concubines."

"Why aren't you two hurrying up? Thank you for your mercy, senior!"

Upon hearing this, the mother and daughter widened their beautiful eyes in shock, staring at their ancestor who had been given away without even knowing what was happening. They then bit their lips and looked at the middle-aged man, their eyes filled with tears.

"Husband"

"father"

Gu Yan ran his fingers across their faces, grinned, and tossed out a bottle of Qi-Nourishing Pills made from century-old herbs, which rolled in front of their ancestor.

"You did a good job, here's a reward for you."

The other person picked up the bottle with a puzzled look, opened the bottle, and immediately smelled a fragrant aroma. His cloudy old eyes lit up, and without sharing with anyone else, he ate three of them first.

His cultivation, which hadn't improved for years, suddenly began to stir, showing faint signs of advancement. He excitedly bowed in gratitude:

"Junior Feng Yan thanks Senior for bestowing the pill."

I hope that you, senior, will not mind staying at Tianluo Mountain for a few more days, so that I, as a junior, can also show you some hospitality.

In addition, there are many beautiful female disciples who would surely enjoy interacting with their seniors.

The group of half-step innate martial artists behind him sensed his aura and, upon seeing the bottle of pills, all began to breathe rapidly.

This is a master alchemist, a living ancestor!

"Yes, senior. Our Tianluo Mountain also has a collection of many rare and precious medicinal herbs. If you don't mind, we juniors will offer them to you."

"Senior, I have a granddaughter who is fourteen years old and in the prime of her youth. She hopes to become your concubine."

...

Gu Yan listened to the people and things they wanted to give as tribute, and couldn't help but nod. It sounded irresistible. He leaned back in his chair, arms around both women, his hands roaming back and forth, his golden eyes glancing downwards as he said:

"I need a map of the entire ancient martial arts world, especially the distribution of power. Do you have one?"

Upon hearing this, everyone paused for a moment and exchanged glances.

Now they were certain that the boy in front of them was indeed an outsider, and there was a 99% chance that anyone who tried to cross the border would be killed by him.

But what does this have to do with Tianluo Mountain?

The only thing that can make them stronger is their biological father.

"Yes, yes, yes, senior, please wait a moment, I will send someone to fetch it right away."

Feng Yan quickly responded, waved to an elder, and then tossed a pill to the middle-aged man to reassure him, fearing he might suddenly lash out.

After all, he watched his wife and daughter being touched all over, his beautiful eyes filled with tears, and he was about to burst out.

Although the outbreak itself is a minor matter, it's likely that this powerful ally who fell from the sky is about to leave, and when they do, they'll probably take thousands of lives with them.

Judging from the fact that only a few dozen of the more than a thousand who intended to cross the line returned, they are definitely not the kind of people who would hold back.

Ah~

"To hell with your pills! I am the current master of Tianluo Mountain, how could I sell my daughter for pills? Even if I am no match for you, I will fight you to the death!"

Seeing a pill roll to his side spurred him to his feet, and he leaped forward, heading straight for the culprit.

It was so fast that no one could stop it; that punch carried a gust of wind.

Gu Yan looked at him, smiled faintly, and instantly released his aura.

Bang!

Everyone inside the hall was forced to their knees, causing them to cough up blood and the floor to crack. The middle-aged man instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

The scene shocked everyone, and no one dared to breathe.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

With a single breath, Gu Yan gathered all the blood mist together, compressing it into a small ball, which he then tossed into the insect-raising space.

The woman in her arms saw her husband being killed and two lines of tears streamed down her face in despair, while the girl burst into tears.

"Daddy, sob sob~"
