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

Chapter 207 The Evil of Liu Bai, the Blood Sword Half-Saint!?

"When was that half-saint of the Heavenly Cauldron?"

Gu Jiancheng asked, "I had heard that there were three half-saints in Dingtian Holy Land, one of whom was Liu Bai, but there was no half-saint with the surname Li."

"That happened twenty years ago. Li Fusheng, who had been in Dingtian for half his life, suddenly lost his son and daughter-in-law. He also suddenly withdrew from Dingtian Holy Land and left with his grandson who was not even a year old."

"Later, some people said that Li Fusheng died in the siege of the villains on the list of evil people."

Feng Yunxiao frowned, then said, "But this is very strange, because according to my grandfather, none of the villains on the list made a move back then."

"There are even rumors that the Half-Saint of Life had a very good relationship with some vicious butchers. What exactly happened back then, only you probably know, right?"

Finally, his gaze fell on Li Xuanming.

Everyone looked over at that moment.

"Ha ha……"

Li Xuanming could only give a wry smile, and then said, "Of course I didn't die at the hands of the villains on the list."

"Back then, my grandfather and I were being chased by a group of mysterious people. They were very powerful, and their leader even had the cultivation of a half-saint."

"In the end, my grandfather was exhausted and defeated. After using a secret technique to send me away, he perished at the hands of those thieves!"

At this point, Li Xuanming suddenly sneered, "Although my grandfather didn't tell me who was chasing us back then, I can guess!"

"Oh? So who do you think it is?"

Gu Jiancheng was curious. This matter did seem strange, and it even seemed to have the flavor of a conspiracy.

"Liu Bai!"

Li Fusheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Although I was young at the time, I still remember it very clearly. Liu Bai came to see me before my grandfather left the holy land, but he was quickly scolded by my grandfather. Moreover, when my grandfather saw me off, he only said the word 'Liu'!"

"It's definitely him!"

"What!?" Gu Jiancheng was stunned upon hearing this, then exclaimed in surprise, "You mean the Half-Saint Liu Bai killed your grandfather?"

How can this be?

Could it be that even the half-saints of the Dingtian Holy Land could kill each other?!

"That's right. Back then, my grandfather learned a secret about the Dingtian Holy Land and couldn't stay, so he left. My parents also died because of the Holy Land!"

"I must find out why they hunted down my grandfather back then!" Li Xuanming nodded angrily.

"Heh heh, looks like I, the villain on the villain list, am being blamed again!" Song Ci sneered.

Although she was already used to this kind of thing.

"Since that's the case, now that you've joined my Taiji Sect, I'll help you investigate what happened back then."

Gu Jiancheng then put away the Ascension Record.

Since the ultimate destination was the Holy Land of Dingtian, Gu Jiancheng was simply doing what he could.

hum!

At this moment, outside the Langhuan Space, a buzzing sound suddenly arose from the ancient city's giant gate.

Gu Jiancheng's expression changed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice, "This ancient city is extremely dangerous. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the Langhuan Space even a step!"

After Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, he flashed out.

Inside the Langhuan Space, everyone could only look at the outside scene through the barrier.

At this moment, the clone had already broken the city gate's magic array and pushed open the massive, ancient city gate.

hum!

But at this moment, an extremely ancient and bloody aura suddenly burst forth from within the ancient city!

Even with the ancient dragon armor protecting him, the clone was still constantly forced back.

As the core of the chaotic war zone, the malevolent energy here has reached its peak.

Gu Jiancheng could only raise his hand and envelop his clone in Yin-Yang energy before stepping into the ancient city.

Although the ancient city looks quite magnificent from the outside, there aren't many buildings inside.

Within the desolate ancient city, towering stone statues, each a thousand feet tall, stand amidst the blood-red darkness.

However, these stone statues are now broken and collapsed, lying in the ruins.

Gu Jiancheng frowned, then walked to a stone statue. Suddenly, he raised his hand and extracted a wisp of scarlet evil energy from the statue.

"Not a stone statue, but a living one?"

At this moment, Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but gasp.

If he hadn't carefully examined it with his Insightful Eyes, he might have really misjudged it.

The dead 'stone statues' in front of the ancient city are all different in shape and even in race.

Among them are demons, humans, and even ferocious demons like evil spirits and yakshas!

They held sharp blades, their postures were forward, and their bodies were all facing the same direction.

That's the center of the ancient city.

They all died on their way forward.

What exactly is it about the center of this ancient city that attracts them so much?

What kind of power could kill them all in an instant?

Gu Jiancheng was filled with doubt at this moment. He left his clone here to absorb the crimson evil energy, while he himself walked along the long passageway into the darkness.

The closer one gets to the center of the ancient city, the more intense and fierce the malevolent aura becomes.

Even Gu Jiancheng's Insightful Eyes could no longer see clearly at this moment.

Within the jade slip of the Lotus Pavilion, Gu Jiancheng and the Holy Maiden were already very close in location.

But now, Gu Jiancheng could neither see nor sense any aura of the Holy Maiden of Lotus Pavilion.

This made Gu Jiancheng serious. He even summoned the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron and hovered it above his head before venturing deeper into the crimson storm.

"Buzz!"

But in that instant, a sharp glint suddenly appeared in the crimson storm, piercing through the storm and shooting straight at Gu Jiancheng.

The latter narrowed his eyes slightly, without raising his hand. The Myriad Manifestations Cauldron above his head suddenly trembled, and a mountain-like pressure suddenly enveloped Gu Jiancheng.

Click!

The next moment, its sharp edge was blocked by the pressure of the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron. Even though it kept humming, it still could not break through the defense of the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron and shake Gu Jiancheng.

With the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron protecting him, Gu Jiancheng was quite comforted.

At this moment, inside the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron, Gu Jiancheng also sneered. He stared intently at the sharp edge and was shocked to discover that it was actually a blood-red sword blade.

Its surface was covered with evil runes and totems, and its power was even greater than that of Xiu Qiluo, who had unleashed strange power.

However, the defensive capabilities of the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron are simply too abnormal.

Gu Jiancheng studied the sword blade for a long time before raising his hand and unleashing his sword realm power to envelop the blood-red sword blade, which dissolved after a moment.

hum!

But just as the crimson sword disappeared, another blood sword appeared from behind the storm ahead, piercing heavily into the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron.

Before Gu Jiancheng could even raise an eyebrow, the void in front of him was torn apart one after another, and several blood swords attacked in succession.

Boom boom boom!

These blood swords vibrated continuously against the radiance of the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron, actually causing cracks to appear in the cauldron's magical light!

Gu Jiancheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; this sword energy didn't seem to appear randomly.

Rather, someone else orchestrated it!

"Hmph, playing tricks!"

Gu Jiancheng grinned maliciously, then immediately pushed the power of the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron to its limit.

He forcefully crushed the blood-red sword energy, then, carrying the Myriad Manifestations Cauldron, he charged forward recklessly.

A few breaths later, Gu Jiancheng, braving the relentless slashing of the blood-red sword, arrived at the center of the ancient city.

But what shocked Gu Jiancheng the next moment was that there was a desolate altar in the center of the ancient city.

But what appeared on the platform was not the nine dragons entwined in the coffin that he had imagined, but a corpse floating in the void!

The corpse was a hundred feet tall, with four limbs, and its entire body was blood red and covered with bone spurs.

Although it is unknown how many years this mysterious being has been dead.

But at this moment, it still exudes a terrifying aura, and the crimson storm that fills this ancient city comes from within this corpse.

Even more shockingly, Gu Jiancheng discovered that the corpse had a sword wound that went through its chest.

He seemed to have been instantly pierced through by some kind of sword energy and died here.

Moreover, when Gu Jiancheng's gaze fell and focused on the altar, he was surprised to find that right below the corpse, a mysterious figure was sitting cross-legged. He was clad in blood armor, holding a blood-red ancient sword in his hand, and surrounded by a torrent of blood.

Gu Jiancheng stared intently, only to discover that the torrent of blood was actually formed from sword energy. This was this person's Blood Sword Realm!

This person's combat strength is so great that it is comparable to that of a half-saint!

Gu Jiancheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and he had no choice but to stop.

Previously, the opponents he had encountered were at most at the peak of the mid-stage of the Dao Integration Realm. Now, a Half-Saint has suddenly appeared, which seems to have exceeded Gu Jiancheng's combat power limit!

Could it be that he's supposed to fight a semi-saint in this chaotic war zone?
