Empress: My husband is too strong, I can only lie down and relax.

Chapter 290 2 Compasses, Blocking the Xu Family!

"what?"

At this moment, Shangguan Lin was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said, "The Xu family is the number one power in the Tian Shu Palace. Their main force is currently on the Tian Shu Palace battlefield, including the Xu family patriarch!"

“But Jian Cheng…” Shangguan Lin hurriedly added, “The Xu family has many Saint Kings, and even the elder clan members are not ordinary Saint King Level 3 experts!”

"Shouldn't we discuss this and at least wait for reinforcements to arrive?"

It should be noted that all three Holy Kings are currently injured.

Gu Jiancheng scoffed and said, "Don't worry, it's just the Xu family. I can handle it all by myself!"

Even when he was at the half-step Saint Realm, he was not afraid of the third-level Saint King, let alone now that his cultivation has skyrocketed!

He didn't even consider the Xu family a threat.

Moreover, he entered the Outer Heaven seven days late, so he didn't have that much time to waste.

After dealing with the Xu family, he had his own plans.

"In that case, I'll take you there!"

Shangguan Lin pursed his lips, but finally nodded and agreed.

Gu Jiancheng's aura is so strong now that even he can't refute it.

"go!"

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng led the younger generation into the Langhuan Space, and sent his clone and Shangguan Lin straight to the Tian Shu Palace stronghold.

Gu Jiancheng hasn't even taken the compass yet.

Thus, just half a day later, Shangguan Lin and Gu Jiancheng's clones arrived at the Tian Shu Palace stronghold.

Gu Jiancheng walked out of the Langhuan Space.

Although it had only been half a day in the outside world, Gu Jiancheng had already solidified his cultivation within the Langhuan Space.

With his cultivation at the late stage of the Half-Step Saint Realm, he was capable of fighting against a third-tier Saint King when he unleashed his full power.

If he were to add his many trump cards, he would even be confident of killing a third-tier Saint King!

This is the source of Gu Jiancheng's confidence to come directly to the Tian Shu Palace stronghold.

However, Gu Jiancheng discovered that even within the Tian Shu Palace stronghold, there were still very few cultivators to be seen, and even among the Saint Kings who remained there, there were only two.

Immediately, Gu Jiancheng and Shangguan Lin arrived directly in front of the Holy King's Hall.

At that moment, the Holy King was fast asleep, lying on the counter.

"Get the compass."

Gu Jiancheng stepped forward, tapped the table, and said in a deep voice.

"Who!?"

The Holy King got up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, but after seeing Gu Jiancheng's face clearly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"You, you've entered the Outer Heavens?!"

"What, you still recognize me?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow.

I have never been to the Tian Shu Palace stronghold, and the Holy King should not have returned to the Dao Palace yet.

"No, I don't know him!"

The Holy King quickly shook his head, then looked at Shangguan Lin and the other two behind Gu Jiancheng, his eyes filled with even more doubt.

He had clearly heard that when the Xu family's group of Holy Kings left, they were going to ambush and kill Shangguan Lin and the others.

How come not only is Gu Jiancheng here at Tian Shu Palace, but Shangguan Lin is still alive?!

However, he was not a member of the Xu family and dared not provoke any powerful forces, so he immediately asked, "How many compasses do you want?!"

"I want every single one of the Heavenly Pivot Palace's remaining structures!"

Without any hesitation, Gu Jiancheng blurted out.

"How much do you want?!"

But the Holy King inside the palace wondered if he was hallucinating.

"Old Gu, Jian Cheng said that you should take as many compasses as you have. Take them all out!"

Behind Gu Jiancheng, Shangguan Lin smiled.

"Shangguan Lin, have you gone mad too?"

The Holy King raised an eyebrow, then said, "You... do you know how many compasses I still have?"

He held up two fingers, his face flushed, and said, "I have two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand!"

"You think you can take them all?!"

"Two hundred thousand?" Gu Jiancheng was delighted upon hearing this and said, "That's not a lot. Take it all out; I'm in a hurry."

"Two hundred thousand isn't enough?"

"Are you all crazy?"

The Holy King raised an eyebrow and then said, "Even the entire Xu family wouldn't dare to take 200,000 compasses at once. Do you know what punishment you will face if you fail to complete this mission?"

"I don't know, and I don't want to know, because I will naturally complete it."

"Just take it out!" Gu Jiancheng's expression was already starting to show some impatience.

"Alright, alright, don't blame me for not warning you!"

The Holy King shook his head and then took out all 200,000 compasses.

"go!"

Having obtained the compass, Gu Jiancheng didn't waste any words and turned to leave.

The Holy King behind the counter wanted to take out a communication jade slip, but Shangguan Lin suddenly came to the counter.

"Old Gu, you're a smart man. You know what you should and shouldn't do now."

"Whether the Xu family is there or not, the Dao Palace is still the Dao Palace."

"But your life is yours."

After saying that, Shangguan Lin smiled and left.

Thus, the Holy King pondered for a long time, but in the end, he still did not take out the jade slip for transmitting sound.

"Sword Inheritance: The battles in the Outer Heavens are fierce, but the main battle lines are in the deeper fronts of the four major strongholds."

"Although the four strongholds were also attacked by cultivators from the Tianyou War Palace, only the Tianquan Hall had some of the Tianyou War Palace's elites."

"The Tian Shu Palace is generally only used for defense, so the Xu family's task is to be stationed in an area called Duo Hei Shan."

"That's the very front of the Tian Shu Palace stronghold. Fifty thousand miles away lies the territory of the Tian You War Palace."

On the way, Shangguan Lin placed a map in front of Gu Jiancheng.

The location of the Black Mountain can be clearly seen on the map; it is only a three-day journey away from the Heavenly Pivot Palace.

If you travel at full speed, you can arrive in a day and a half.

"So, apart from the Xu family cultivators, there are no powerful figures in Fallen Black Mountain, is that right?" Gu Jiancheng raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Theoretically, there isn’t. Stronger cultivators, such as the two hall masters of the Tian Shu Hall, are currently on the front lines.” Shangguan Lin nodded.

"Then today, the Xu family will be destroyed!"

Gu Jiancheng narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent suddenly rising in them.

Thus, just a day and a half later, Gu Jiancheng and his companion arrived at the foot of the Black Mountain.

But what made Gu Jiancheng and Shangguan Lin frown was that, at this moment, outside the Black Mountain, evil energy was surging, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and a chilling atmosphere.

"It's the aura of the Underworld Clan!"

"Fallen Mountain is under attack!?"

Shangguan Lin raised an eyebrow, then exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng's divine sense and divine eyes also looked ahead and indeed found that the magic array restrictions on the Fallen Black Mountain were now fully activated.

Even so, on the other side of the Fallen Black Mountain, the aura of the Netherworld race surged, constantly impacting the magic array of the Fallen Black Mountain.

Moreover, even though the Black Mountain possesses a sturdy array set up by the Holy Path Palace, it now seems to be showing signs of collapse.

This doesn't look like a typical harassment.

"Could it be that the Heavenly Nether War Palace is launching a major attack on Fallen Black Mountain?"

"what's the situation?"

Shangguan Lin was increasingly puzzled, but Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Someone has come out."

"Heh, is this Xu family cultivator planning to desert his post?"

But Gu Jiancheng scoffed.

Immediately, before he could finish speaking, hundreds of cultivators suddenly rushed out from the Black Mountain in front of him.

Their direction was not forward, but towards the Tian Shu Palace stronghold.

This is the direction we're heading, straight for Gu Jiancheng!

"What do you mean?"

"The Xu family wants to run away?"

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but frown at this moment. As the strongest family in Tian Shu Palace, the Xu family had a responsibility to protect the Tian Shu Palace's front line.

"Hehe, no problem, of course we won't let them escape." Gu Jiancheng sneered, then soared into the sky.

"Damn it, what's wrong with those Tianyou War Palace cultivators? Why aren't they going to the front lines and instead attacking my Fallen Black Mountain?"

At this moment, the Xu family patriarch had already led over a hundred Xu family cultivators out of the Fallen Black Mountain.

"Ancestor, shall we just leave like this?"

At this moment, Xu Chong, who was behind him, suddenly frowned and asked.

"if not!?"

The Xu family patriarch raised an eyebrow and said angrily, "Don't you even know what kind of situation the Tianyou War Palace is in now!"

"To deal with just one Fallen Black Mountain, they actually sent two Saint Kings at the third level!"

"The strength of the Heavenly Netherworld Battle Palace was already above that of our Supreme Saint Dao Palace. Those guys are determined to take over the Fallen Black Mountain today. Do you want our Xu family to be buried here?"

"This disciple dares not!" Xu Chong's expression tightened, and he muttered, "But, this disciple thinks, should we take the other cultivators from Fallen Black Mountain with us?"

"If we leave, won't they be doomed?"

"Heh, Xu Chong, no man is without ruthlessness!" But the Xu family patriarch sneered, "If everyone leaves, do you think we can still escape?"

"Even if they are weak in combat, they can still buy us some time after the Fallen Black Mountain Formation is broken!"

"Once we reach our stronghold, Tianyou War Palace will have no chance to touch us!" the Xu family patriarch sneered.

"You won't be able to return to the base!"

But at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out in the void in front of the Xu family cultivator.

"who!"

The Xu family patriarch was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed.

His divine sense hadn't detected anything before!?

All the Xu family cultivators stopped at this moment.

But when they looked ahead, they only saw four figures emerging from the void.

And then there was a figure who was someone they never expected to see here.

"It's you? Gu Jiancheng!?"

"Why are you here?"

Xu Chong and Xu Lin's expressions changed drastically.

Didn't they already have all the necessary preparations in place when they entered the Outer Heavens?

How could Gu Jiancheng still be alive and standing before them?!

"Is it you?"

When the Xu family patriarch saw Shangguan Lin and the other two, he also frowned.

He had previously sent many Holy Kings specifically to kill these three Holy Kings and the disciples of the Taiji Sect.

But why would it appear in front of them?!

"Hehe, long time no see, Xu Fu!" Shangguan Lin said with a smile, cupping his hands in greeting.

Although he had a smile on his face.

But in the eyes of the Xu family patriarch, it was so glaring.

"Hmph, you lot dare to show your faces in front of me? Do you think you're too old for this?"

The Xu family patriarch also said coldly.

"Heh, if we hadn't come, how could we have seen the Xu family, the number one family in the Heavenly Pivot Palace, flee without a fight?"

Gu Jiancheng scoffed.

"presumptuous!"

"What right do you have to interfere in the affairs of my Xu family?"

"You insulted my Xu family before the Sacred Pool that day, and today I will personally kill you!"

Upon hearing this, the Xu family patriarch was immediately shocked and enraged.

Without further ado, he raised his hand and charged forward.

Now that Gu Jiancheng and the others have seen them escape from the Black Mountain, they can no longer be allowed to live!

These people must die!
