Chapter 14497: They're all family.
Ling Xiao chuckled: "Why doesn't Senior ask why the Divine Light Clan is so determined to exterminate this junior?"
Ancestor Shenguang frowned slightly, looking at the white-haired elder. The white-haired elder's face was deathly pale, and he was drenched in cold sweat: "Ancestor, this matter..."
Divine Light Ancestor glanced at him coldly and said to Ling Xiao, "You tell me."
Ling Xiao immediately began to recount the events in detail, without embellishment, simply stating the beginning and the end.
Upon hearing this, the Divine Light Ancestor's face turned ashen. The white-haired old man was already drenched in sweat...
How could Ling Xiao know his ancestor? That's impossible!
He completely lost his composure!
The Divine Light Ancestor glared at the white-haired elder: "You have utterly disgraced the Divine Light Clan!"
The white-haired old man knelt down with a thud, his whole body trembling: "Ancestor, please forgive me! I had no choice. Lingxiao refused to let the Divine Light Clan go, so I had no choice but to risk my life..."
Ling Xiao suddenly spoke up: "Senior, the Divine Light Clan was merely used by someone with ulterior motives. I have no deep hatred for the Divine Light Clan. As I just said, if the Divine Light Clan leaves and stops making things difficult for me, I will naturally not make things difficult for them either."
He raised his hand and pointed into the depths of the sea of clouds: "As for the mastermind behind the manipulation of the Divine Light Clan, it is none other than the Holy Temple!"
The Divine Light Ancestor suddenly looked up, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the clouds!
Above the sea of clouds, the arrogant woman narrowed her eyes, a surge of power welling up in her palm.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Divine Light Ancestor shouted, "Slay!"
The Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword transformed into a golden rainbow and soared into the sky!
The arrogant woman sneered: "A mere clone dares to be so arrogant?"
With a flick of his palm, a black vortex appeared, attempting to engulf the sword light. However, the sword rainbow tore through the vortex with overwhelming force, slashing straight at the woman's face!
The arrogant woman's expression changed drastically, and she threw a punch, yelling, "Break!"
The force of the fists surged like a tide, forcefully resisting the attack of the Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword!
She roared down, "Gu Clan! Aren't you going to use your trump cards?!"
The Gu Clan Chief remained silent for a moment, then blood light erupted from his palm. A gigantic, blood-red Gu worm burst forth from the sky, instantly filling the heavens and earth with an overwhelming stench of blood!
The Gu clan chief roared, "Call upon our ancestors!"
Not far away, Lan Jingjing stared at the blood-red Gu worm, tilting her head and muttering, "This Gu worm... doesn't it look like the one my sister lost back then?"
Just as the Gu worm wreathed in ominous blood light appeared, Lan Jingjing's brows furrowed unusually, and a hint of confusion flashed in her clear eyes.
A giant worm buzzes!
Under everyone's focused gaze, the blood-red Gu worm trembled violently. The blood-red light emanating from the Gu worm wriggled and converged like a living creature, eventually condensing into a burly male figure, whose oppressive aura instantly swept across the entire area.
Lan Jingjing scrutinized the man with great interest. The man's face was cold and stern, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings like lightning, his voice as cold as ice: "Who dares to offend my Gu Clan?"
Below, the Gu Clan Chief, as if seeing a savior, hurriedly bowed and pointed sharply at Lan Jingjing and Ling Xiao: "Ancestors! It's them!"
The man's gaze shifted, and the moment it fell upon Lan Jingjing, he froze, his face turning deathly pale, his lips trembling as he stammered, "You... how could you..."
Lan Jingjing blinked her bright eyes, tilted her head, and asked, "You recognize me?"
The man's hands trembled slightly, and his voice changed: "You... why are you here!"
Lan Jingjing frowned even more: "But I don't know you."
The man took a deep breath, suppressing his fear, and said in a low voice, "You...you are the one who followed the Ancestor...that esteemed one..."
"Ancestor?" Lan Jingjing's eyes showed even greater confusion. "Are you referring to my sister?"
Upon hearing the word "elder sister," the man's eyes twitched, and he quickly nodded: "It is indeed the ancestor!"
Lan Jingjing shook her head: "When did my sister become the ancestor of your Gu clan? I have never heard of it."
The man hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Although our ancestor is not a direct descendant of our Gu clan, his bloodline does indeed contain the essence of one of our Gu clan's distant ancestors..."
Lan Jingjing shook her head again: "I don't know."
With a wave of his right hand, the man unfurled a scroll of condensed energy in the air. The scroll depicted a man clad in ferocious armor, riding on savage worms, exuding an overwhelming and domineering aura.
The man pointed to the portrait: "This is an extraordinary ancestor of my Gu clan!"
Lan Jingjing glanced at it and said in a flat tone, "I don't know."
The man said with absolute certainty, "But I would never mistake you for someone else!"
Lan Jingjing nodded, her tone as casual as if she were asking about the weather: "So... Shall we get started?"
Upon hearing this, the man shook his head vigorously: "No! I will never lay a hand on him!"
Lan Jingjing pointed to Ling Xiao beside her: "But your clansmen are about to harm my friend."
The man's gaze immediately shifted to Ling Xiao. Upon seeing him, his body trembled violently, and in the next instant, he appeared directly in front of Ling Xiao like a ghost, so fast that Ling Xiao didn't even have time to react!
Unfathomable!
Ling Xiao felt a chill run down his spine; the power of these ancient beings was truly as deep and boundless as the ocean!
The man stared intently at Ling Xiao, his voice tinged with barely perceptible tension: "What...is your relationship with her?"
"Her?" Ling Xiao's mind raced, and he asked, "Do you mean the sister who plays with Gu worms?"
The man nodded emphatically: "Yes!"
Ling Xiao looked troubled, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a knowing tone, "My relationship with her... Senior... you should know, right? It's so obvious?"
Lan Jingjing silently turned her face away and sighed helplessly again.
Upon hearing this, the man stared intently at Ling Xiao for a long time, as if trying to see right through him. Finally, he suddenly turned around and glared angrily at the Gu Clan Chief.
At this moment, the Gu clan chief was trembling like a leaf, and cold sweat soaked his back.
My own ancestors... actually knew Ling Xiao?
How can this be? !
He felt his cognition was collapsing, and his mind went blank.
Looking at his worthless descendant, the man's voice trembled with anger: "Fool! Utterly stupid! Do you intend to completely destroy the millennia-old foundation of my Gu clan?!"
The Gu clan chief hurriedly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling: "Ancestor... he... who exactly is he..."
The man suppressed his anger, took a deep breath, turned to Lan Jingjing, and forced an almost ingratiating smile: "Misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"
Lan Jingjing shrugged: "Then...we're not playing anymore?"
The man waved his hands repeatedly, his tone resolute: "No fighting! We're all family, why fight? It's not good to hurt our harmony!"
My own family?
Ling Xiao's lips twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: They've built up this relationship pretty quickly.
The man turned his head and shouted sternly at the Gu clan chief, "What are you still standing here for? Take your men back immediately! Reflect on your actions behind closed doors!"
The Gu clan chief's throat bobbed, as if he wanted to say something: "Ancestor... this..."
The man's eyes suddenly turned icy cold, filled with murderous intent.
The Gu clan chief shuddered and dared not utter another word. He turned and transformed into a streak of light, leading his clansmen in a hasty escape. Their speed was so fast that it seemed as if a single step slower would result in their deaths.
Seeing the Gu Clan Chief flee in a sorry state, Yun Mo of the Demon Heaven Sect and the white-haired elder of the Divine Light Clan were completely stunned. They looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. (End of this chapter)
