The Flower Girl spoke up, "Guan Yue, you need to tell us what treasure you have obtained. Otherwise, I won't be able to rest in peace."
Guan Yue heard the Flower Girl's question but did not stop. He knew that if he paused, Wood Old Ghost and the others would take action. At that moment, he was unsure of his own strength and did not want to provoke a chaotic fight. Kicking that old man away had already given Wood Old Ghost and the others enough shock; he hoped to use this opportunity to escape. They might fear him and refrain from attacking.
Moreover, he was holding the golden Origin Tool sword, which was vibrating in his hand as if it too was eager for action. Guan Yue understood that if it weren't for his current energy being sufficient, he wouldn't be able to wield the Artifact Gold Sword at all.
Guan Yue replied to the Flower Girl, "I’m not sure what treasure it is; it seems to be the essence of Yongning Continent."
Although Guan Yue's voice was not loud, everyone present were Great Deities. They all wore expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The essence of Yongning Continent? The essence of Yongning Continent? Did they hear that correctly? How could it be possible?
The Flower Girl immediately recalled everything that had happened earlier: there had been a tremor underground, a tremendous force had surged forth, preventing the three of them from digging further. They had no choice but to stop until the disturbance passed before they resumed digging. However, when they started again, they found that the soil had turned into mud, which led them to discover a massive amount of Golden Jade and the infant-like Guan Yue.
Guan Yue was not lying. What he had obtained was indeed the essence of Yongning Continent!
The Flower Girl looked towards Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief; both were looking back at her. The three of them were filled with panic. They all understood that Guan Yue's claim was likely true. They felt immense regret! If they had obtained the essence of Jining Continent instead, things would have been vastly different.
Now that Guan Yue had acquired the essence of Jining Continent, their Holy Alliance could no longer dominate Yongning Continent; they would have to obey Guan Yue's commands from now on.
Helian the Old Thief blinked and frowned before whispering to Wood Old Ghost, "Old Ghost, we absolutely cannot let Guan Yue leave alive. We must do everything we can to stop him; otherwise, we will have no place to die. He harbors deep hatred for us."
Wood Old Ghost nodded and then communicated with the Flower Girl and the others, "You block him at the entrance; Old Hu and Old Cao will attack from both sides while I lead a frontal assault. We must not let him escape Mu Family; otherwise, we are all doomed."
In an instant, everyone arranged themselves into formation, completely surrounding Guan Yue.
Guan Yue could only smile bitterly in his heart; he couldn't tell the Flower Girl the truth! He blamed himself for being too soft-hearted.
Seeing the Great Deity preparing to battle, Guan Yue immediately felt a surge of fighting spirit. His mood brightened; after all, he already possessed Ultimate Light and was not afraid of them. Now, with an increase in Combat Power, he felt energized and ready for a fierce fight.
Since Ruyi Girl had mentioned it, he felt it would be embarrassing not to stir up trouble for the Mu Family.
Guan Yue quickly activated his Origin Energy. Strangely, once he used Origin Energy, the Artifact Gold Sword immediately stopped its trembling. However, its fierce aura hinted at a tendency to slip from his grasp.
At the same time, the chaotic energy within him returned to the Palace Sea, making it feel quite full. It seemed uncomfortable not to use this power.
If a battle was to happen, then let it be!
Neither side had any certainty; Wood Old Ghost did not know what level of power Guan Yue had reached, and Guan Yue was unsure if his energy was sufficient to withstand the attacks from these Great Deity. He even prepared himself to retreat into the Sky-Sealing Tower if necessary.
However, both sides had to give it their all.
Wood Old Ghost would never allow Guan Yue to monopolize the source of the Yongning Continent, or else the Holy Alliance would face annihilation. Likewise, for his own survival, Guan Yue had to do everything he could to escape.
This was a fight to the death!
When Wood Old Ghost saw the Origin Tool in Guan Yue's hand, he first felt the power emanating from it. He noticed the pulsating movement of the Origin Tool in Guan Yue's grasp and was taken aback: Could this kid really wield the Origin Tool?
His initial confidence evaporated instantly as he shifted his perspective: “Now that Guan Yue has mastered the Origin Tool, can he be killed? What are the odds? If we kill Guan Yue, what will happen to the Origin Tool? How likely is it that we can actually kill him?”
Nearby, Helian the Old Thief, upon receiving orders from Wood Old Ghost, called out: “Brothers, let’s go. We must eliminate this kid; our lives depend on it, so everyone needs to give their all.”
“Save your breath.”
Suddenly, several gusts of wind shot directly toward Guan Yue. The mere gusts produced a faint whistling sound, indicating their intensity. At the same time, three figures encircled Guan Yue, simultaneously using Spatial Power to lock down the area and prevent his escape.
Guan Yue immediately activated Ultimate Light. As soon as it emerged, the Spatial Lock became ineffective. Drawing on his immense stored energy, he launched an attack. With a swing of his Artifact Gold Sword, he cleaved through space itself; golden light flashed and surged forward, instantly splitting the entire area apart, including everything around him.
A loud crash echoed as the building completely collapsed. Even the ground showed a deep gash!
Several people were fully exposed to the open air.
Guan Yue was secretly astonished. Could this be the power of the Origin Tool? With just a wave, such earth-shattering force was unleashed. What was there to fear?
Thus, Guan Yue swung the Golden Sword Initiator in his hand, wildly striking at Wood Old Ghost and the others.
The sound of whooshing filled the air as Guan Yue's Golden Sword danced wildly, shining with golden light. With each slash and flash, his body was surrounded by golden brilliance, causing Wood Old Ghost and his companions to retreat in fear, unable to withstand the onslaught.
Guan Yue moved toward the entrance while using the Golden Sword Initiator to fend off the sneak attacks from these old fellows.
They followed Guan Yue's direction, attacking as they moved.
Wood Old Ghost felt extremely anxious. If he couldn't control Guan Yue, he might break through their formation and escape. If he got away, the Holy Alliance would surely be doomed.
So it was imperative to stop him from fleeing!
Wood Old Ghost ordered Hua Er to immediately use the Divine Level Seal to attack Guan Yue. Hua Er understood the urgency of the situation and did not hesitate; she summoned the Divine Level Seal and pressed it down toward Guan Yue.
The pressure of this Divine Level Seal was comparable to that of the Sky-Sealing Tower. Although it ranked lower among divine artifacts, its ability to suppress individual Combat Power was unparalleled. Under Hua Er's control, the Divine Level Seal expanded to about a thousand meters in size, descending upon Guan Yue like a dark cloud.
In a panic, Guan Yue quickly swung his Artifact Gold Sword upward. With a sharp clang, he actually cleaved the Divine Level Seal in two. Due to his excessive force, golden light shot up into the clouds, creating a massive rift in the Mu Family Formation above!
With a thunderous roar, Guan Yue looked up and realized that it was his Golden Sword that had broken through the Mu Family Formation. He couldn't help but laugh joyfully. He had been worried about how to break through this formation, which had always seemed impenetrable. Who would have thought it would be so easy with just one strike? How could he not be excited?
Hearing the thunderous sound, all Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities within the Mu Family were filled with terror and rushed out to check what had happened. In their eyes, the rift in the formation slowly began to close, but for them, this crack felt like a bolt from the blue!
Since establishing the Mu Family as the headquarters of the Holy Alliance, this formation had always stood firm above them, protecting all Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities without fail. But why had it suddenly cracked open today?
What exactly is happening?
While everyone was looking around, a terrified voice from Wood Old Ghost rang out: "Brothers, let's all go together! We must not let that brat Guan Yue escape, or we will all be doomed!"
Only then did the crowd notice that above the Mu Family's No. 3 courtyard, there were more than a dozen figures, clearly Wood Old Ghost and others surrounding a young man in white. That young man was undoubtedly Guan Yue!
Could it be that he broke through the great formation? If that's the case, what a disaster! If this formation is shattered, won't we have to return to the Holy City and live that dark life again?
Without hesitation, everyone rushed towards Guan Yue. They could not allow him to destroy the Mu Family Formation; they absolutely could not!
Nearly twenty Little Ancestor Saints and Great Deities unleashed their pressure towards Guan Yue, intensely pressing down on him. Guan Yue finally could not endure it any longer; the immense power within him erupted. This force collided with the pressure from nearly twenty sacred beings, directly dispersing their pressure and pushing back against them, forcing them down to the ground.
With thuds echoing, one by one, the old fellows fell to the ground in an ungraceful manner! Even Helian the Old Thief was thrown to the ground, facing Guan Yue's overwhelming power without any ability to retaliate.
Wood Old Ghost shouted loudly: "We are at a critical moment now! Everyone take out your treasures and let's smash Guan Yue to death! Otherwise, we will all be doomed!"
Guan Yue actually did not want to be enemies with these old fellows; he just had an extreme aversion to Helian the Old Thief and Wood Old Ghost. He didn't even want to harm Hua'er, despite her having attacked him with a Divine Level Seal earlier. For his own life, he could forgive.
Hearing Wood Old Ghost's shout, Guan Yue immediately spoke up: "Seniors, I Guan Yue can choose not to break this formation, but I want to leave here. Anyone who makes a move against me will be my enemy. I will show no mercy to my enemies."
Guan Yue immediately turned around and said to Hua'er: "Flower Senior, I can also forgive you. Although you attacked me with a Divine Level Seal just now, for the sake of survival, I forgive you. But if you continue to make a move, don't blame me for being ruthless."
