"This is... the flame of a high-level alchemist! How is this possible!" The ancient tomb elder was terrified, his old eyes bulging, and he wet his pants in fear.
Yang Meier was completely dumbfounded, her face filled with panic and despair, as if the end of the world had come.
"The power of this pure flame is terrifying. Could he be a high-level alchemist?" Yang Meier looked at Gu Yifeng in extreme fear, her heart pounding wildly.
Gu Yifeng's flames were terrifying, enough to make her feel a deadly danger. This pure flame power was beyond Yang Meier's comprehension.
The flames of Gu Yifeng are the wrath of the Heavenly Flame.
Although it is a high-level flame, Gu Yifeng still cannot guarantee it.
After all, Gu Yifeng knew very little about the ancient tomb.
"Gu Yifeng! The Ancient Tomb was built by the Ancestor of the Ancient Tomb. You have no idea how powerful our Ancient Tomb is, do you?"
The ancient tomb elder roared in anger, enduring the pain.
"Oh? You're very powerful?" Gu Yifeng sneered mockingly, his figure flickering strangely.
"Buzz!"
"call out!"
Gu Yifeng teleported away from his original spot and reappeared behind the Ancient Tomb Elder in a flash. His sword finger slid lightly, and the tip of the sword gently grazed the shoulder, taking away a piece of flesh, and blood spurted out.
Just as the elder of the ancient tomb was about to cry out in alarm, a domineering and ruthless power instantly enveloped his entire body.
The tomb elder's expression froze. He opened his mouth, but too terrified to utter a word.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Gu Yifeng conjured massive bronze sword shadows tens of thousands of feet long in each of his left and right hands, sweeping them across with the force to destroy everything. Wherever the sword shadows passed, the ancient tomb's guardians collapsed one after another.
"Ahhh!"
One after another, screams of agony rang out from the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Hundreds of disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect perished under the sword, none of them escaping.
Gu Yifeng slaughtered the ancient tomb cultivators like he was harvesting wheat.
Even though the disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect were not weak, and there were even five-star and six-star True Immortals, they were as fragile as infants in front of Gu Yifeng.
"Ding ding ding!"
Thousands of immortal swords clashed, producing a crisp and melodious metallic clang.
The ancient tomb elder convulsed, his eyes wide with fear, and exclaimed, "No... impossible! This power is clearly only at the peak of the Saint Emperor realm, so why does it possess such terrifying strength? I have absolutely no power to resist!"
Gu Yifeng's cultivation level was indeed only at the peak of the Saint King realm.
The Ancient Tomb Elder was a Seven-Star True Immortal, specifically a Five-Star True Immortal, with a difference of four levels between the two.
The tomb elder wanted to fight to the death, but he had no chance at all, as the power within his body was imprisoned.
"Gu...Gu Yifeng, don't kill me! Please let me go! I'm willing to tell you the secrets of the ancient tomb!" the ancient tomb elder pleaded, his voice filled with pleas.
"A secret?" Gu Yifeng stopped what he was doing.
"I'll tell you everything, I just hope you'll spare my life," the tomb elder said in a panic, his body covered in blood, looking utterly wretched—hardly the image of the high and mighty tomb elder he once was.
"It would have been so much better if you had cooperated obediently from the beginning." Gu Yifeng smiled calmly, then grabbed the Ancient Tomb Elder back.
The tomb elder breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that he had backed down in time, otherwise he wouldn't have survived.
"I'll give you ten seconds to think it over. After ten seconds, I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer it," Gu Yifeng said casually.
"Listen to what I have to say before you make a decision," the tomb elder hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yifeng frowned, but did not stop him.
The elder of the ancient tomb took a deep breath and said, "In fact, the ancient tomb has existed for hundreds of years, and apart from our Gu family, no other family knows about it."
“I know your Gu family has been hiding its secrets quite well.” Gu Yifeng nodded.
The elder of the ancient tomb continued, "It is said that there is a treasure trove left by the ancestors of the ancient tomb, but we do not know exactly what treasures are inside."
“Back then, a mysterious person found the ancient tomb. He claimed to be the ruler and said he could help our Gu family reach its glorious peak. He also promised that our Gu family would forever control the entire Southern Region.”
Gu Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for the elder of the ancient tomb to continue his story.
The tomb elder said, "We believed him, but he also warned us that a high-level alchemist would soon come to steal the tomb's treasures."
"The Overlord's strength is overwhelming; we are no match for him at all. That's why we asked the Overlord to keep this secret, but we never expected..." The Tomb Elder shook his head, looking both grief-stricken and regretful.
The elder of the ancient tomb sighed, "I never expected that the ruler's target would be you. Your Gu family is the only one who knows the secrets of the ancient tomb."
"The ancestors of the ancient tomb left behind a map of the tomb. According to the tomb's records, the treasure vault is located at the deepest part of the tomb. However, there is a line of small characters on the map that indicates that a special method must be used to open it in order to obtain the treasure."
"We have tried many methods during this period, but none of them have been able to open the treasure vault."
"Until tonight, an explosion suddenly occurred, and the ancient tomb shook violently. The elders of the ancient tomb then guessed that someone had stolen the map of the ancient tomb."
Hearing this, Gu Yifeng finally understood why the Ancient Tomb Elder was so nervous.
"Ancient tomb map?" Gu Yifeng was stunned.
“That’s right! Among the ancient tombs, only Gu Mu and I know the secret of the tomb map. So the theft of the tomb map must have been leaked by Gu Mu. He has always coveted the treasures of the ancient tomb’s treasury. Once he gets his hands on the treasures, the consequences will be unimaginable!” The tomb elder gritted his teeth and hissed.
"I've said so much, you should at least let me go, right?" the tomb elder pleaded, his eyes darting around, clearly trying to think of a way to escape.
"Your life is valuable, but before that, hand over these gems." Gu Yifeng opened his palm, and a dazzling gem immediately appeared—it was the Soul Crystal Core.
The elder of the ancient tomb's expression changed drastically, exclaiming in horror, "A...soul crystal core?"
"Not bad!" Gu Yifeng smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think you have the right to choose?"
The old tomb elder's gloomy face twisted into a ferocious grin as he snarled, "Gu Yifeng! Do you want to keep it all for yourself? If we're all dead, who will know the treasure is a fake?"
"Do you know that with just one command from me, the entire ancient tomb will be reduced to ashes!"
The threats from the tomb elders had absolutely no effect.
The elder of the ancient tomb grew increasingly frightened, sweat beading on his forehead and cold sweat pouring down his face.
"You should know my strength. If you don't submit, I'll send you on your way immediately," Gu Yifeng said coldly, his figure suddenly appearing beside the Ancient Tomb Elder.
"Hiss—" Upon seeing Gu Yifeng's cold and evil face, the Ancient Tomb Elder was terrified.
"No! Don't kill me!" the tomb elder cried out in panic.
The tomb elder sensed a deadly danger and knew that only by compromising could he survive.
"Hand over your storage ring!" Gu Yifeng's icy voice rang out.
"Gulp..." The ancient tomb elder swallowed hard and handed the storage ring to Gu Yifeng with difficulty.
The storage ring contains a vast amount of resources and wealth, extremely valuable enough to drive anyone mad.
"Hmph! You're smart to know your place." Gu Yifeng glanced at the Ancient Tomb Elder with disdain.
