Chapter 117: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian
For ten consecutive days, Gu Lingnan avoided the attention of the guards and maids, and sneaked into Gu Jingyao's yard at night to nourish his severely damaged body.
With the injection of new origin, under the power of the Great Way of Life, the huge hole in the little guy's body where the vitality was constantly draining away was filled and healed.
Gradually, the little guy's wakefulness increased, and his health gradually improved. He could even walk a few steps with Gu Lingnan's support. But at this time, judging by their appearance, they looked more like siblings than twins.
Despite this, Gu Lingnan always reminded Gu Jingyao not to show that he was in good health in front of outsiders.
Fortunately, Gu Lingnan took care of Gu Jingyao without his help during this period, and the maids ignored the young master who had little life left when she was away. The news was well kept secret in this remote courtyard.
The elders of the clan were also unable to discover the secret of the double pupils, and Gu Lingnan still looked extremely sad every day.
She always suspected that Gu Yuanming would not let them go easily. This was the best time to completely replace Long Aotian and become the Son of the World. She was afraid that if the news of Gu Jingyao's improvement got out, she didn't know what Gu Yuanming would do.
The Jing family is very powerful, so they, as young children, can only stay out of the spotlight for the time being.
Gu Lingnan touched the sleeping Gu Jingyao's little face and thought quietly.
The ancient clan that should have been their shelter as a child has now become a den of dangers. She doesn't believe that Gu Yuanming will give up such a good opportunity, this once-in-a-lifetime chance to completely eliminate all future troubles.
If the elders could compromise once, they could compromise a second time. The ancient tribe's numerous and discerning members provided the perfect cover for the other side to strike.
I have to find an opportunity to leave the ancient clan.
Gu Lingnan thought lightly.
There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being on guard against thieves for a thousand days. Moreover, Gu Jingyao's physical abnormality cannot be concealed for a long time, so she must hurry.
But Gu Lingnan didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes.
As she gradually figured out the distribution range of the ancient clan guards, her parents, who had been away from home for almost two years, finally returned.
"Yao'er, my son... I, I am your mother..."
Gu Jingyao's small body huddled in the corner between the bed and the wall. He remembered his elder sister's words and stared cautiously at the strangers, a man and a woman, in front of him with his bright eyes.
He dodged the woman's outstretched hand and thought: Are they the bad guys that my sister mentioned? What should I do?
Just when Gu Jingyao was hesitating whether to cry and call the maid, Gu Lingnan finally came back.
"Sister!"
Wrapped in the light of the Golden Crow, Gu Lingnan pushed the door open and walked in. She caught Gu Jingyao who was running towards her, raised her eyes and quietly looked at the couple who had returned from a long journey.
"Sister Yao'er isn't..." Brother?
Gu Hao grabbed his wife's arm and shook his head at her who looked dazed.
"Ayao, it's mother and father."
Gu Lingnan gently turned Gu Jingyao's body so that he faced his parents, and pressed his shoulders encouragingly, "Come on, call me, Daddy and Mommy."
"Ah... Dad... Ah... Mom." Gu Jingyao looked at the two strangers in front of him hesitantly, and slowly opened his mouth following his sister.
He was confused and matched the two people in front of him with the blurry faces of his parents in his dream.
Luo Qing was stunned, and tears fell down her cheeks without any warning.
She missed her children speaking for the first time, missed everything about their growth to where they are today, and more importantly...she mistakenly trusted someone she shouldn't have trusted.
She slowly bent down and took her two young children into her arms, her heart aching.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept you here."
A warm little hand touched Luo Qing's face, clumsily wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She looked down and saw Gu Jingyao, who hadn't grown much older than before she left, smiling brightly and innocently at her: "Mother, don't cry."
Luo Qing's tears flowed even more violently.
"My sons, you have suffered!"
Luo Qing hugged the children and cried loudly.
She hated the elders of the ancient clan, and even more hated herself for trusting them. Her Yao'er was so weak and uncomfortable. Her Nan'er was so young, but she silently shouldered everything. Obviously, obviously...
It's all her fault.
"It's all Mother's fault... Cry, my son, Mother is here."
My Nan'er, you came out of my belly, and I understand everything.
Her mother's big hand stroked her forehead, and Gu Lingnan did not cry when she saw her parents.
But when her mother lovingly held her in her arms, her eyes as tender as water, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness in her nose. She could no longer act mature, and like a real child, she burst into tears in her mother's protective arms.
She really, really missed her mother and father. She really didn't know what to do...
Gu Hao looked at the mother and her two children huddled together, with silent anger burning in his heart. He squeezed the bones between his palms until they creaked. Finally, he silently embraced his wife and children in his arms.
The one who really should say sorry and is the one who is truly irresponsible is his father.
"Gu Hao, what are you doing!"
A golden spear descended from the sky with supreme power, like a thunderbolt from the sky, striking into the forbidden land where the elders of the clan were practicing. In an instant, mountain torrents broke out, mountains collapsed, rivers changed their course, and dozens of terrifying old men fled from the mountains, their faces in disarray but they could not hide their raging anger.
"Gu Hao, considering your feelings, we can forgive your offense this time."
The high-ranking elder said arrogantly.
"Offense!" Gu Hao sneered. He grasped the giant axe, gleaming with lightning, his long hair dancing wildly in the wind. Densely packed, shimmering runes appeared on his muscular body. He raised the axe, his roar resounding through the heavens:
"break!"
The giant axe smashed down with divine light and thunder that reached the sky. The violent force swept through the entire clan's land with overwhelming force. The magnificent palace complex was uprooted, dancing with the strong wind, and then crushed into silent dust in the storm.
"Gu Hao, you are so outrageous!"
One elder was furious. He raised his withered arm, the divine ring on it gleaming. He raised his arm and called out, and a vast ocean of divine light burst out from the ring, transforming into a real dragon, roaring and charging towards Gu Hao.
But Gu Hao remained unafraid.
He pointed his giant axe at the void, and instantly infinite lightning burst out from it. The thunder was deafening, and endless golden light covered the entire sky and earth like a shield.
As the thunder subsided and the golden light faded, the elder's figure emerged. The divine ring on the attacking elder's arm trembled violently, shaking more and more violently, and finally, with a loud bang, the divine ring exploded. The elder faced the blast wave directly, screamed, and flew backwards, lying on his back in the distance, his life or death unknown, blood spilling all over the ground.
"Seventh Brother!" The old woman lost her voice. She asked angrily, "Gu Hao, what do you want to do?"
"I have only one request for what I want to do. Hand over Gu Yuanming and that vicious woman and execute them on the spot!" Gu Hao roared. He took a step forward, and the heaven and earth trembled.
The old woman screamed: "Gu Hao, are you going to go against the clan's decision? What do you think of the whole clan? Are you going to betray the teachings of the ancient clan?"
Gu Hao sneered: "Teaching!" He roared, "My tribe taught me to be friendly to my fellow tribesmen and to be as close as family, but how did you treat my youngest son?"
"Yao'er is still so young, why should I ask you? Why? Is asking for justice also wrong?"
His voice was like crying blood, but his momentum was rising steadily, like a devil descending to the world, shocking the royal city.
Fear finally appeared in the eyes of the elders. They did not dare to speak or respond to Gu Hao's question.
Justice, who is justice?
"Uncle Jiu, the so-called justice is, of course, only the strong deserve it."
A childish but still arrogant voice rang out.
Facing the crazy Gu Hao, Gu Yuanming remained calm. He stepped out without panic, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
"Boy, you dare to appear in front of me." Gu Hao said coldly.
Gu Yuanming sighed deeply, "Uncle Jiu, of course I've made every possible preparation before I dare to appear before you. After all, I absolutely dare not disrespect you, the 'Ninth Marquis'. I cherish my life dearly."
He clapped his hands lightly, and ten masters suddenly appeared and stood in the air, some from the Gu clan and some from the Jing clan.
"Third brother, you, you..." The old woman pointed at the third brother's nose for a long time, and was so angry that she couldn't speak. She really didn't expect that the third brother, as a member of the ancient tribe, would dare to let the Jing tribe members enter the ancient tribe's inland without permission. This, this...
The third brother remained calm and said, "Fourth sister, my lineage is closely connected with the Jing clan. Gu Yuanming's mother is a daughter of the Jing clan. The clan leader is worried about her daughter's safety and sent people to protect her. This is what should be done, isn't it?"
"Bullshit!" the old woman was furious.
While they were arguing, the amazing magic that Gu Yuanming had specially prepared for Gu Hao had already been planted.
Twenty-four gems emitting the morning light trembled in the air, revealing a miniature of the sun, moon and stars. Endless divine mist spread out, concealing a terrifying murderous intent, as if the sky was pressing down, suppressing Gu Hao in the formation.
Gu Yuanming smiled triumphantly, "Uncle Jiu, I'm presenting you with this simplified version of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou formation. I wonder if you're satisfied with it."
Gu Hao was surrounded by a blazing lightning, woven into a thunderbolt armor that he wore, blocking every killing intent. Under the vision of the killing array, the sky seemed to be crumbling, but he was no longer afraid. He roared:
"Shameless boy, I will chop you down with my axe today!"
Gu Yuanming sneered, "Uncle Jiu, you better break this formation before you brag." He said casually, "By the way, Uncle Jiu, I haven't seen Aunt Jiu in a long time. I also sent someone to visit her."
"And my ninth sister, I deeply regret not being able to finish a game with her last time."
"How dare you, you little brat!"
Gu Hao's brows were raised and he was filled with rage, but because of this moment of distraction, the ancient killing formation found a flaw. Another star from the sky fell to the earth like a meteor and exploded in the formation. Gu Hao suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes were already bloodshot.
"Mother."
Inspiration kept warning her, and Gu Lingnan felt inexplicably irritated.
Luo Qing, holding a child in one hand, flew past the endless mountains behind her. When she heard Gu Lingnan's voice, she did not slow down, but lowered her head gently: "What's wrong, Nan'er?"
At the boundary between reality and illusion, a rosy glow spread out silently behind her.
But Gu Lingnan saw it, and she suddenly raised her voice and said:
"Mother, be careful, enemy attack!"
