Chapter 323: Exposing the Traitor!
Gu Fei flew through the sky, crossing layers of clouds, and finally returned to the familiar realm. However, when his gaze turned to the distant Sacred Gu Mountains, his brows furrowed.
He saw that the towering mountain range was now covered by a light blue energy barrier, isolating it from the outside world.
"Hmm? Why is the Sacred Gu Mountain Range sealed off?" he muttered to himself, a sense of foreboding rising within him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
As the Young Clan Leader, he was familiar with everything happening within the clan. Such an unusual situation meant something significant had happened.
Could it be that during his absence, Gu Yang took advantage of the clan's weakened defense and dared to steal the Ancient God Jade?
Thinking of this, he didn't waste any time. His figure flashed, and he instantly arrived in the sky above the Sacred Gu Mountains.
"No, it shouldn't be possible.."
After all, Gu Lie was still guarding the clan, and stealing the Ancient God Jade would be nearly impossible.
The light blue energy barrier appeared like a thin veil, enveloping the entire mountain range. Symbols of mysterious runes flickered across the barrier, exuding a chilling pressure.
As Gu Fei studied the energy shield, an elderly figure suddenly appeared in front of him. "Child, you're back."
It was none other than the Great Elder of the Gu Clan, Gu Lie. His weathered face was filled with concern, but a hint of joy flashed in his cloudy eyes.
He waved his hand, and the energy shield parted to allow Gu Fei through.
"Come inside; I have something important to discuss with you."
His voice was low, carrying an urgent tone.
Gu Fei nodded and followed him into the barrier. The two of them arrived at a mountaintop, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and begin explaining the situation.
"Child, you guessed correctly. That Gu Yang truly harbored ill intentions." Gu Lie shook his head with a sigh, a flicker of anger in his eyes.
"That man wasn't after the Ancient God Jade- he tried to harm Xian Yue and Wushuang!"
Hearing this, fury erupted within Gu Fei like a volcano. His fists clenched, and a terrifying aura radiated from him, causing the mountaintop to tremble. Rocks tumbled down the cliff under the pressure.
He had long known that Gu Yang was a Hun Clan spy, but he had refrained from taking action, hoping the Hun Clan would grow complacent. He hadn't expected such a disaster to almost occur. If anything had happened to his children... he couldn't even imagine the consequences. "Where are the children now?" he asked, his voice deep with suppressed rage.
"They're safe, on your mountain, with Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian watching over them," Gu Lie quickly replied, not wanting him to worry.
He nodded, and his figure vanished in an instant. Moments later, he arrived at his own mountain peak.
Opening the door, he saw the two adorable children peacefully sleeping on the bed. Cai Lin and Xiao Yi Xian stood nearby, and when they saw him enter, smiles of joy appeared on their faces.
Gu Fei approached the bed, gently stroking the children's faces. Xian Yue and Wushuang seemed to sense their father's presence, smiling sweetly in their sleep.
Seeing that they were safe, he finally relaxed. But soon, a new wave of anger ignited within him.
'I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.'
Gu Fei thought, his eyes flashing with a sharp killing intent.
His figure darted through various parts of the Gu Realm like a ghost, scanning every corner with a piercing gaze. Meanwhile, Xun Er led the Black Submerged Army in their relentless search.
"Brother Gu Fei, don't worry. I'll help you find him." Xun Er flew to his side, her voice filled with determination. Her bright eyes shone with resolve, clearly intent on assisting him.
"Thank you," he replied softly.
This made her feel elated, and an unconscious smile crept onto her face.
However, to him, she was just another clan member. Since everyone was eagerly helping him search for Gu Yang, it was only natural to offer a word of thanks.
He continued flying back and forth across the sky, his gaze scanning the mountains and valleys below. Suddenly, as he passed over a secluded peak, a special system alert rang in his
mind:
Ding! Gu Yang is feeling guilty. Emotional value +3
He raised his eyebrows, halting in mid-air.
Immediately, more system alerts rang out, all related to Gu Yang's emotional fluctuations.
Gu Fei deduced that he must be hiding nearby, likely within the towering mountain beneath him.
Narrowing his eyes, his internal energy surged, and golden light blazed around his slender form. Countless golden runes swirled in the air around him.
'Break for me.' Gu Fei thought, striking out with his right palm.
The sky changed color in an instant!
A massive golden palm print appeared from thin air, descending like a mountain. The air twisted and screeched as the palm struck, shaking the very earth.
Boom!
With a deafening explosion, the entire mountain collapsed under the terrifying power of the strike. Boulders flew in all directions like meteors, and the ground quaked violently as if it were about to split apart. Trees were uprooted, and the landscape was ravaged by the powerful attack.
Dust filled the sky, blotting out the sun. The entire area was shrouded in a cloud of debris, as if the end of the world had arrived.
When the dust finally began to settle, a massive crater appeared before everyone's eyes, hundreds of meters wide and unfathomably deep. The rock walls surrounding the pit were smooth and shiny, clearly melted by the immense heat.
Yet, despite the destruction, he still hadn't found Gu Yang.
"Strange," Gu Fei muttered, his brows furrowed as he scanned the surroundings with a sharp
gaze.
Suddenly, his keen senses detected a faint, hidden aura deep underground.
'Oh, still trying to hide?'
He sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light. He lifted his right foot, and golden light flared around him, with countless golden runes gathering under his foot.
"Come out!"
With a fierce shout, he stomped down.
Boom!
The entire world seemed to tremble. From his foot, golden cracks spread like a spiderweb in
all directions. The earth shook violently, as if it was about to split apart.
Suddenly, a scorching heat burst from deep underground.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, a massive pillar of fire erupted from the base of the collapsed mountain, shooting skyward like an erupting volcano. The pillar was a vibrant array of seven colors, radiating a terrifying aura of destruction.
As the fire rose, the air around it evaporated from the intense heat, creating a vacuum. Even the surrounding rocks melted into molten lava under the extreme temperature.
