Gu Liyan's gaze was fixed on the ancestral hall's main gate. He took a deep breath, paused for a moment, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. The next second, like an arrow released from a bow, he charged directly towards the gate—
Just as Gu Liyan's body was about to touch the door, an invisible barrier suddenly appeared, followed by a cracking sound, as if something had shattered.
However, the next second a bolt of lightning shot out from around the door and struck it hard.
"Agh—" Gu Liyan howled in pain as his body was violently thrown several meters away, crashing heavily to the ground.
