"Anyone who dares to trespass upon my mountain gate and insult my ancestors shall die!" A powerful voice boomed like thunder from behind the protective mountain array.
As soon as the word "death" was uttered, Lan Yufeng stared blankly into the air and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Gu Shanxing and the others, along with the Lan family members, only then realized what was happening, and their expressions changed drastically:
The world generally believes that the reason why the Dan Sect has closed its mountain and not emerged is because all the alchemists in the sect focus on cultivating alchemy but not on cultivating techniques, and are afraid to close the mountain.
But I never expected the Dan Sect to be so ruthless; they actually dared to kill people without hesitation!
And the owner of this voice still has such a violent temper and speaks with such domineering manner!
“Senior, we are from the Lan family. It’s not right for you to kill people like this. The Lan family is one of the eight great families, not some nobody.” The Nascent Soul Realm advisor of the Lan family glanced at Lan Yufeng, who was dead on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.
After the mountain-protecting formation, there was another deathly silence.
"Senior, you killed a direct descendant of the Lan family. The Lan family will not let this go," the advisor couldn't help but shout again.
The protective array behind the mountain remained deathly silent, as if the one who had just killed Lan Yufeng was not someone from inside.
The advisor: "..."
Gu Shanxing: "..."
The rest of the group: "..."
Ji Fengming watched with great interest: The Lan family and the Gu family have really bitten off more than they can chew when they come here to stage an accident!
As expected of his brother-in-law's men, the way these people from the Dan Sect act is quite to his liking.
He was already looking forward to his brother-in-law's return and the days when he and these people would stir up trouble on the Danling Continent.
"Senior Yu, what should we do now?" a member of a collateral branch of the Lan family asked anxiously.
"Young Master Gu, what do you think?" The advisor surnamed Yu looked at Gu Shanxing as if seeking instructions.
Gu Shanxing came with Lan Yufeng. Now that Lan Yufeng is dead, Gu Shanxing should take on the responsibility of being the leader.
"The Dan Sect's protective formation is so strong that even a powerful cultivator in the Ascension stage couldn't break it. Since the Dan Sect's seniors aren't coming out, I don't have any good ideas either," Gu Shan said with an indifferent shrug. "Whether the person we're chasing has entered the Dan Sect or the Demon Beast Forest, it's already beyond our capabilities."
There was no other way but to take Brother Lan's body back first and tell the elders of the Lan family the truth.
Everyone has witnessed what Brother Lan did; we can all testify to it. I believe the elders of the Lan family won't be too harsh on you."
The advisor surnamed Yu thought about it and realized that this made sense.
This whole thing was just a sudden whim of Lan Yufeng's; he insisted on coming to the Dan Sect to die, so he can't blame anyone else.
The Lan family members, dejected, carried Lan Yufeng's body down the mountain with Yu Muliao, Gu Shanxing, and others.
The group was about to leave.
Suddenly, a member of a collateral branch of the Gu family pointed to the blue phoenix flying around in the air and said, "Brother Shanxing, look at that beautiful bird. It seems to have been following us ever since we came down from the town at the foot of the mountain."
“It seems so. Looking closer, this bird doesn’t seem like an ordinary bird. It has been following us all the way and seems to understand human nature. Could it be a spirit bird?” The Zhao family advisor from the Gu family was unwilling to let the Yu family advisor from the Lan family steal the spotlight alone, so he also began to make his presence known.
"Then shoot it down for me and see if it's wild or owned," Gu Shanxing said, his face and eyes equally gloomy.
The advisor surnamed Zhao responded and immediately made a move, unleashing a burst of energy towards the Azure Phoenix in mid-air.
The Azure Phoenix is still just a fledgling, barely qualifying as a spirit bird, and is no match for the full force of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
