Chapter 127: The Ancient Savage World, Long Aotian
Gu Lingnan seemed to be very interested in Gu Yuanming and asked Aruo repeatedly, "Sister Aruo, is Gu Yuanming really that powerful?"
She lowered her dark eyes and added, "My brother and I have been training in the Great Wilderness since leaving home. We don't know much about these famous young geniuses in the Great Wilderness."
Aruo placed her hands on her hips and smiled, extremely proud. "Sister Nannan, you've definitely asked the right person. In my sect, I'm the most informed on this information."
The sharp-eyed and perceptive senior sister in front of me cast a glance over and said quietly, "Aruo, if you continue to indulge in these trivial matters and neglect your cultivation, and if you still fail the Master's test next time, even I won't be able to save you."
Aruo quickly suppressed his flamboyant expression and whispered to the curious Gu Lingnan siblings, "Gu Yuanming was the most talented young man in the Great Wilderness at the time. At the age of five, he reached the Blood Moving Stage with a capacity of 100,000 jin, rivaling even the cubs of ancient ferocious beasts."
"At the age of seven, he enrolled in Qiankun Valley, the foremost sect in the Great Wilderness. Upon entering school, he ascended the 100,000th step of the Jade Ladder, a place no one had ever climbed before. He attained enlightenment on the spot and was accepted as the sole personal disciple by the Valley Master. At the age of nine, he shot down a young Sky Phoenix in the battlefield of a hundred clans, killed the son of a pure-blooded Pixiu, and successfully escaped the encirclement of ten king beasts. At the age of eleven, he achieved the ultimate Nine Caves Heavens and broke through the Dao Palace. At the age of thirteen, he reached the Four Extremes Realm, shocking the entire Great Wilderness with his young age..."
When talking about the genius she admired most, Aruo talked endlessly, as if she wanted to pour out every single thing Gu Yuanming had done.
Gu Lingnan wanted to pretend the same longing expression, but she couldn't do it after trying hard, so she could only use her hair to cover her expressionless face as much as possible.
The system also heard Aruo's words, and it couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Host... isn't this the original growth path of Xiaolong Aotian?" It cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it can only be said to be very similar.
Gu Lingnan sneered, "Look, he doesn't even dare to seek new opportunities on his own. He only dares to follow the path taken by others, strategy in hand, and move forward step by step."
The power gained in this way is because one will not risk one's life knowing that one will win. Even if one has embarked on the same path, the state of mind gained is completely different. No wonder Gu Yuanming could not resist the destined failure.
The system calculated for a moment and said in surprise, "Host, you are still more powerful. You became a Dao Palace Realm expert at the age of three."
Gu Lingnan: ...
"Why don't you tell me that I suppressed my cultivation in the Dao Palace Realm for seven years in order to consolidate my foundation and eliminate hidden dangers?"
"That's right." The system was still very happy. "Even so, host, the first person to break through the Four Extremes is still you!"
Gu Lingnan was multitasking, chatting with the system while listening to Aruo's increasingly off-topic stories about Gu Yuanming. She found it boring, but Gu Jingyao listened attentively.
The eldest sister who led the way was estimating the remaining distance out of the wilderness in her mind. As long as she was still in the wilderness, danger was lurking around her, so she didn't dare to relax.
It was the last ten kilometers, and she could already see the majestic outer city wall. Even though she repeatedly reminded herself not to relax, she was still an ordinary person after all. Seeing that she was about to reach a safe place, her tense heart couldn't help but relax a little.
Gu Lingnan and Gu Jingyao looked up at the same time, followed by the loud cry of an eagle, which was Cang Chen's warning.
After a few breaths, the eldest sister finally reacted, but it was too late. On both sides of the team, dark shadows jumped out from the mountains and forests, and the cold light of blades flashed.
"No!"
The enemy's figure was reflected in the eldest sister's eyes. She had no time to activate the artifact to protect everyone. Moreover, there were several breaths of the enemy that made her instinctively afraid. Perhaps... this time, they would not survive.
Despair rose in her eyes.
Snap——
Just like a gentle breeze brushing against his cheek, before the blood even had time to gush out, all the enemies had fallen down, their wolf eyes wide open in death, their bodies torn apart.
Gu Lingnan slowly pushed the bamboo sword into the sheath. Old Wen was good at using the sword. She and Gu Jingyao, as the only two disciples at present, naturally had some experience in swordsmanship.
"Be careful!" The eldest sister didn't have time to be shocked by the two children's strength, but instead warned: "The Shadow Blade Wolves always act in groups. The Wolf King and Wolf Queen haven't appeared yet, so they must be hiding in the dark. A wolf corpse of the Dao Palace Realm has appeared here. The Wolf King and Wolf Queen are likely to have the strength of the Four Extreme Realms."
Gu Jingyao raised his eyebrows slightly. "A Shadow Blade Wolf of the Four Extreme Realms, Sister, the wolf fangs, wolf claws, and the wolf blade on the forehead of a Shadow Blade Wolf of this realm are all good tools for refining weapons. We just happen to be short of a few handy weapons. How about..."
The Celestial Palace had wandered from the Upper Realm to this realm, and only accomplished disciples of the Five Elements Sect could enter. There were no weapons suitable for the two of them. The bamboo sword Gu Lingnan wielded was merely a sword he had stumbled upon in the restricted area, and its rank was not high.
Hearing what Gu Jingyao said, Aruo widened his eyes in surprise: "Oh my God, that's a ferocious beast in the fourth extreme realm, the same realm as Master, no way..." In Gu Jingyao's mouth, it was like a weed that could be picked at will, and he could kill it at will.
Gu Lingnan nodded and said calmly to the shadows in the forest, which seemed to be devoid of any animals: "Since you won't run away, don't blame us."
Provoked by her contemptuous words, the Wolf King, covered in a dark night curtain, appeared with a ferocious wolf howl, followed by the Wolf Queen and several black wolves from the Dao Palace realm.
The wolf king stared cautiously at Gu Lingnan and Gu Jingyao, whose abilities he couldn't fathom.
It could clearly feel that it could kill the strongest prey in the group with one slap. Despite this, it still ordered its people to wait for the best moment when the prey was relaxed before attacking. Unexpectedly, it still failed miserably.
Ancient survival experience told it that it should flee immediately rather than stand there irrationally. But anger burned in its heart. The dead were its own people, and as a king, it was its duty to avenge them!
But it also had to consider the future of the tribe. It hummed to the wolf queen, who sobbed sadly, took a last deep look at her husband, and quickly escaped into the shadows with the remaining tribe members.
Gu Lingnan and Gu Jingyao witnessed their separation and did not take any action.
After the Wolf Queen left, Gu Jingyao took a step forward, his eyes turning slightly. "I know you want to find my sister more, but unfortunately, if you want to fight my sister, you have to get past me first."
Gu Lingnan twitched his lips and said, "You little bastard, don't use me as a leader when you feel like doing something yourself."
The Shadow Blade Wolf King roared, and the runes in his body shone. The totem of the Heavenly Dog eclipsing the sun was reflected in the sky, casting a moonlight-like glow. It opened its mouth wide, and endless black air poured out, as if it could swallow up the heaven, earth, sun and moon.
"Huh, I didn't expect that I could awaken this kind of magic. It would be interesting if someone in the Dragon Transformation Realm could use this technique. Unfortunately..." Your strength is still too weak.
Gu Jingyao slapped out lightly with his palm, and the black air that almost covered the sun was pressed back into the wolf king's body. The wolf king was also hit hard, and the grass and trees within thousands of miles were embedded deeply into the ground for more than a hundred meters.
Gu Lingnan frowned slightly and then relaxed, forget it.
“Amazing!”
Led by Aruo, the disciples cheered and were glad to have saved their lives.
In their eyes, the Wolf King was obviously dead and could not die anymore. Only the eldest sister, who had the highest cultivation level besides Gu Lingnan and the others, noticed something, but when she saw that Gu Lingnan didn't say anything, she didn't say anything either.
"Thank you two seniors for your help."
The eldest senior sister bowed to Gu Lingnan and Gu Jingyao with full sincerity. In the Great Wilderness, the strong are the first, so she called them "seniors" with sincerity.
Under her guidance, more than a dozen fellow students, including Aruo, all expressed their gratitude to the two of them with the courtesy of juniors.
The eldest sister took out a brocade bag from her storage device and said, "I cannot repay the kindness of the two seniors for saving my life. This brocade bag contains the rare treasures we have obtained along the way. I will give it to you, seniors."
Gu Lingnan shook his head and refused, "No, we should thank you for not caring about our unknown origins and for being willing to give us a ride into the Imperial City. We are partners in this journey, and it is only natural that we fight the enemy together."
"Senior, you are wrong." The eldest sister insisted, "Without us, the two seniors can still reach the imperial city, but it will take a little longer. If we hadn't been rescued by the seniors, we would have died long ago. How can we generalize?"
Unable to refuse, Gu Lingnan could only say, "My brother and I have just left home to go to the Great Wilderness for training, and we don't have much money with us. Sister, why don't you give us some gold and silver to solve our urgent needs?"
"Besides, I heard from Aruo that your sect is in urgent need of spiritual medicine, but my brother and I have no shortage of them. You should keep this treasure bag."
Ah Ruo! The eldest sister glared fiercely at the little sister who couldn't keep her mouth shut. Finally, she bowed to Gu Lingnan and said seriously, "Senior, your kindness is great. I, Jie Xinyan, will remember it in my heart. If you need anything in the future, my Broken Star Pavilion will help you."
Gu Lingnan smiled and said, "That's very kind."
While Gu Lingnan was communicating with the senior sister, Aruo sneaked up to Gu Jingyao and asked with blinking eyes, "You just killed the wolf king of the fourth extreme realm with one strike, so what realm are you in?"
Gu Jingyao replied shyly: "Guess"
"Hey! Why are you like this?" Aruo's voice suddenly became louder, but was pierced by the cold gaze of the senior sister and quickly lowered his voice: "Just tell me, by the way, are you really only this big? You are not some old monster with a baby face as the legend says."
Hearing this, Gu Jingyao's expression suddenly became a little subtle. Speaking of the old monster with white hair and a youthful face, ah, you can't think about it. It's a big disobedience and you will really be beaten to death.
Seeing that Gu Jingyao was always avoiding the subject and refusing to answer her question directly, Aruo pursed her lips and changed the question: "Then you can always tell me why you let the Wolf King and Wolf Queen go. I heard that wolves can hold grudges. My master taught us to be sure to root out any grudges when we are out in the world."
"You actually discovered it." Gu Jingyao looked at her in surprise, and suddenly realized that the most beloved and valued little sister in the team might not just be because she was the youngest. He smiled softly and said:
"If you want to let me go, then let me go. As for seeking revenge on me, feel free to come. I will give those who lose to me the respect they deserve."
Aruo was stunned: "You guy, I didn't realize you are quite arrogant."
Gu Jingyao suddenly thought of something and said in frustration, "Sorry, I forgot about you. What if the Wolf King causes trouble for you in the future?"
Aruo smiled and said, "Don't worry. We dared to cross the Great Wilderness because we had something to rely on. If it weren't for the Shadow Blade Wolf's natural ability to hide, we would have been fooled for a while." She curled her lips. "Anyway, don't worry. We from the Broken Star Pavilion won't fall in the same place twice. If they dare to come again, they will never return."
"Ayao," Gu Lingnan called from the distance, "We've arrived at the Imperial City."
