Ino’s eyes were cold and blurry like ice while he was controlling his wisps of Soul Consciousness, which moved like invisible spiritual snakes. They all aimed at Shi Yan.
However, the soul incantation he had cast was going to deviate if they aimed at Shi Yan. Without Shi Yan’s soul energy waves to detect, his curses couldn’t perform.
Shi Yan held the blood sword in his hand while the blood beams spread all over his body and created a thick blood cocoon that covered his body.
Nothing could intrude!
The soul secret techniques couldn’t lock him, so the incantation couldn’t work anymore.
Ino was so irritated and he wanted to vomit blood.
This was the first time he had ever encountered a bizarre situation like this along his path of cultivating soul incantations.
He knew that the blood sword Shi Yan was holding was strange and evil, indeed. He also knew the reason why his secret curses couldn’t work. It was because of that blood sword. However, as Yu Shan and Xiao En were watching cautiously, he couldn’t storm over to snatch that blood sword. Apparently, he couldn’t use the secret techniques to kill Shi Yan.
The fat on Gu He’s face shivered. His small eyes flared with ferocious light and gazed at Shi Yan with deep resentment.
His Gu family and the Xiao family of Fiery Rain Star Area had a bloody grudge. Since Gu He was just a small child, he had listened to the teachings of his ancestor. He must make Xiao En’s family pay a big price!
Thus, Gu He hated anyone who came from Fiery Rain Star Area. This time, it was coincidental that Xiao En was in this group. Gu He wouldn’t let this chance slip away.
Shi Yan!
Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao called him with worried faces. They hurried to approach him to check his situation.
Staying inside the fine blood fibers, Shi Yan looked cold. He squinted and shook his head to tell Zi Yao and Xia Xin Yan not to worry about him.
This man robbed Potion and Tool Pavilion’s Canon. Do you outsiders want to interfere in the internal issues of our Potion and Tool Pavilion?
Gu He’s face was cold, but he couldn’t hold his flame of anger anymore. He glared at Yu Shan and spoke,
If you mean it, don’t blame Potion and Tool Pavilion for not showing mercy!
Gu He’s mentality was almost cracked.
Yu Shan and Xiao En could recognize Gu He’s mental state. They frowned quietly. They were also anxious as they continued to turn around to check the Child Formation. They hoped that the experts of the Monster Clan and Demon Clan could come here soon.
Gu He took a deep breath. He seemed to have made up his mind. He swung his hand as he’d prepared to start this battle, his face cold and harsh.
However, his big mouth parted as if he was about to talk, but he couldn’t make a sound.
Gu He’s big face winced and piled up the rolls of fat. His eyes were aghast. He looked really awkward.
Many warriors of Potion and Tool Pavilion surrounding the area were bewildered. They looked at him confused as they didn’t know why he couldn’t make a sound although he was obviously shouting.
Gu He started to sweat. His face slowly paled. His column-like, big neck wiggled as if he was searching for something.
Warriors of Potion and Tool Pavilion, Divine Light, Fighting League, and Fiery Rain Star Area were dumbstruck. They also followed his line of sight to see what was going on.
Gu He suddenly stopped.
He looked in a direction.
It was where Shi Yan was standing.
The eyes of dozens of thousands of warriors were now gazing at one spot, which was next to Shi Yan.
No one knew for how long there was a white-headed, archaic old man standing next to Shi Yan. That old man wore a silver rob. His brows were long and white like mist. His eyes were filled with a smile. And his face was especially smooth as it was like white jade. It seemed like he was still pretty young.
He was holding a scepter, which looked like a branch of an old, dead tree. The wooden material of his scepter was strange. It could release the energy waves of life.
The arms of the old man had many magical wooden textures. Those textures were strange and wonderful. However, they looked exactly the same as the texture of his scepter, which seemed to contain some principles of this world.
This old man was a member of the Wood Clan.
Holding the scepter, the old man was smiling while studying Shi Yan. Sometimes, he touched the blood-fine fibers on his body and gave profuse appraises.
At this moment, the numbers of experts on the gourd-shaped island were as many as clusters of cloud in the sky, which included more than ten First Sky and Second Sky of Incipient God Realm experts. However, before Gu He spotted the archaic man, no one had recognized the old man was there.
Everybody was astounded as they could never have imagined something like this. They all looked at the white-haired Wood oldie. The oldie ignored all of them. He was still studying Shi Yan with great curiosity. His pair of eyes was full of childhood interest and warmth. He didn’t have any malicious intent.
However, under his gaze, Shi Yan felt very irritated. It felt like the old man could read all that he had experienced in his life easily.
The eyes of that old man seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts and all of their experiences they had in their whole life.
From a distance, Gu He looked at them. In his rice-sized eyes, he seemed to be begging as if he couldn’t even talk without permission from that old man.
Standing by Shi Yan, Yu Shan and Xiao En were so solemn looking at the old man. They exchanged looks as they could grasp the fear in each other’s eyes. All of a sudden, Yu Shan and Xiao En bent their bodies to greet and say,
Precursor.
Then, they stood with their bodies bending and didn’t say more.
Miao Rong of the Fighting League and Ju Bo of the Divine Light studied the old man and tried to find information of him in their brains.
Shortly after, Ju Bo shivered, divine light shooting out of his eyes. His eyes were glued to the wooden scepter in the old man’s hand. He muttered,
It’s made of the Life Tree of the Wood Clan… A precursor of the Wood Clan… Shang Chen… Great Sage Shang Chen.
His voice was so low that the others around couldn’t hear. Only Sana heard him. Sana was skeptical and lowered his voice,
Who is he?
Fate… The Fate Traveler.
Ju Bo forced a smile.
Sana discolored in fright.
Gu He was still begging, looking at the Wood old man.
Shi Yan pulled himself together. He suddenly found that Ino’s soul incantation was cleared while he didn’t recognize it. He looked at Ino who was wincing with trickles of blood on the corners of his mouth. He looked hurt and was begging.
He was baffled and couldn’t help but look at the Wood old man next to him. Frowning, Shi Yan said,
May I ask what you want, precursor?
The Wood old man smiled, his left eye blinking. Instantaneously, Gu He who was fixed over there was able to stammer,
Great Sage… Why… why are you here?
Great Sage?
Many people looked bewildered. They looked at the Wood old man and tried to identify him.
Miao Rong of Fighting League was shocked. Dazzling light shot out from his eyes. When he looked at the old man again, his face was filled with respect. He bent his body slightly to show his respect for a junior and didn’t say more.
I’m here to save your life.
The Wood old man shook his head, looked at Gu He, and sighed,
Your Gu family has declined for several thousand years. Until your generation, no one made a raise. Why do you want to find trouble for yourself? Do you really want your Gu family to be uprooted?
Listening to him, Gu He’s face turned gray like the earth. However, he bought it. Just like a primary student asking for his teacher’s advice, he said,
Great Sage, please explain to me.
Okay.
The Wood old man smiled and pointed at Shi Yan, his voice slow and tender.
If I didn’t come, here’s what would have happened. You guys would fight with the warriors of Fiery Rain Star Area. Fiery Rain Star Area would fail. However, when the Monster Clan and Demon Clan comes, both of you would have gotten huge losses. Then, the people of Fiery Rain Star Area would have left. You guys would also expel this young man to Fiery Rain Star Area. However, in one hundred years max, he would return. He would eradicate your Gu family. You, Gu He, would be killed too.
The old man spoke casually, but many people didn’t believe him. They thought he just spoke nonsense.
However, Second Elder Gu He of the Potion and Tool Pavilion felt like he had just fallen into an ice chamber. He saw his death in advance. He paled and shook uncontrollably. He just stood there, shivering with an extreme fear.
He had no doubt of what the old man had just told him!
When he saw Shi Yan again, Gu He was panic-stricken. He looked both crazy and perplexed.
Oh, I can add one more thing,
the Wood old man sighed.
If you started this battle, Fiery Rain Star Area and Agate Star Area would be involved. The star war would happen. And the God Clan could invade Agate Star Area and Fiery Rain Star Area in two or three hundred years.
He pointed at Miao Rong, Ju Bo, Yu Shan, Xiao En, and Ino. He spoke nonchalantly,
All of you would have died in the battles.
Those people under his finger felt their souls shudder. They were so frightened as they could foresee their future.
You say it as if they’re all true,
Shi Yan smiled oddly.
It’s really bad that you’re not a hoax medium.
Oh no, I’m the biggest hoax medium in Agate Star Area.
The old man grinned, his makings relaxed.
But many people believe in this hoax medium. Because… what I’ve told you could be your future.
Great Sage, I’m wrong.
the Second Elder changed his visage and bowed deeply. He acted repentantly and earnestly.
Everybody was stunned.
Sigh. If it’s not related to the fate of the two-star areas, I don’t need to spend my efforts to calculate and make people skeptical.
The Wood old man shook his head. The wooden scepter in his hand released extreme energy waves that could affect people’s souls and gave them a hallucination that made their souls collapse.
Shi Yan wasn’t an exception.
Yu Shan and Xiao En discolored in fright.
Please advise us your status and title?
Xiao En hesitated for a while before asking with respect.
I’m Shang Chen,
said the Wood old man faintly.
Shang Chen… Shang Chen! You are the Fate Traveler who cultivates Fate power Upanishad? You’ve been to our Fiery Rain Star Area, right?
Xiao En was suddenly excited. He asked with his arms swinging,
I know you. The secret books of the Xiao family mentioned you many times.
I’ve traveled through many star areas. Not only your Fiery Rain Star Area.
Shang Chen smiled,
Oh, right. I used to drink with Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan was Xiao En’s grandfather. However, he had fallen in the battle with the God Clan. Shang Chen’s profile in the books of the Xiao family was written by Xiao Zhan.
Oh, turns out it’s you, precursor Shang!
Xiao En was happy. He showed more respect.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
While Xiao En was thrilled, the Child Formation behind him activated. Beautiful halos expanded. The experts of the Monster Clan and Demon Clan emerged with Bath, Gu Te, and Blood Devil as the leaders. The three of them were full of murderous auras and ferocious faces. They came for a bloody battle.
More and more Monster and Demon experts came unceasingly.
Gu He discolored. He glanced at Shang Chen, his face modest. He just stood quietly and didn’t dare to pitch his voice to ask for a battle anymore.
