I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 140: This person was so ignorant

Xue Luo was already running very fast.

His soul seemed to have used the power of his body's self-destruction to transform into a phantom, ready to break through the air and escape, but it was too late.

Or rather, in the old man's eyes, this ant in the Out-of-Body stage was slow at everything it did.

He reached out and grabbed Xue Luo's soul, which was like a lamb to the slaughter, imprisoned by space, and then flew back.

"You really like running?"

The old man stared coldly at him, his Dao power slowly contracting with his palm, as if to crush Xue Luo's soul completely.

"Ahhh-"

Xue Luo let out a shrill scream. "Young Master Gu's disciple has been badly injured by you, how can we let you die so easily?"

Old Man Gu said calmly, then suddenly increased the pressure on his hand!

Xue Luo's soul was suddenly subjected to pressure tens of millions of times greater than before, and it was even completely deformed, emitting a tearing scream!

This pain made him wish he could die right now, yet he was powerless to stop it!

As a result, Xue Luo couldn't even make a sound.

He desperately wanted to beg for mercy.

But the other party seemed to have no desire to hear him beg for mercy.

Finally, in a voiceless agony, Xue Luo's soul was completely crushed!

Old Gu shook his hand as if he had merely crushed a bug that had dirtied his hand.

Silence fell over the arena. The people from the three major families were all stunned by his easy yet ruthless and decisive killing move.

Is this the power of the Tribulation Transcending Stage?

Originally, even if the three clan leaders besieged Xue Luo, it would take them a long time to take him down, and they might even get hurt. But in the hands of this old senior surnamed Gu, he didn't even take it seriously and just crushed Xue Luo like a bug.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Gu."

The heads of the three major families bowed in unison, their reverence for the old man deepening.

Meanwhile, the other two looked at the Lu family patriarch with envy and jealousy, and even the Lu family patriarch himself had a big smile on his face.

Because, as everyone knows, Lu Yan, the second young master of the Lu family, is this old senior's only disciple!

Isn't this equivalent to the Lu family hooking up with a super powerful patron?

In the future, the Lu family will surely rise to prominence, if not achieve instant success. With this master protecting them, Lu Yan's future achievements will definitely be remarkable.

However, behind this ancient predecessor, there is an even more secretive and powerful figure!

It is said that Qingfeng Baoxing lost its mind and hired assassins from Xueyinglou to kill that person's beloved disciple, and then... this is how things turned out.

Even the old master had to admit defeat, yet his disciple was assassinated by the Blood Shadow Tower.

All I can say is that Qingfeng Baoxing deserved it!

It's better to die sooner rather than later, so that the reclusive master can calm his anger.

Otherwise, how could Yunling City withstand his overwhelming rage?

Although they were eager to find out more, the old man told them that this senior had gone into seclusion to maintain his peace of mind, and that they should not inquire about things they shouldn't know. This immediately dissuaded the three families from their plans.

Inside the lobby, Shang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the commotion outside had subsided.

Sure enough, with the Blood Shadow Envoy of the Blood Shadow Tower stepping in, how could these three families dare to continue their presumptuous behavior?

I didn't look outside, there wasn't a sound, I didn't even dare to shout?

"Hahaha... Heavens, in the end, you spared my life!"

He laughed loudly and was about to walk out to see just how ugly those people looked. They must be very angry because a more powerful force had appeared and they couldn't do anything to him.

But as soon as he lifted his foot, Shang Xiong also sensed something was wrong.

Because that blood-shadow wielder with crippled hands and feet seemed to have suddenly lost his breath.

His face had turned ashen, and his eyes were lifeless.

"……grown ups?"

Shang Xiong called out in a daze, but the person still didn't respond. He mustered his courage and went over to check the person's breath... Dead!

He's actually dead!

“What… is going on?!”

Shang Xiong was terrified.

However, he didn't have a chance to think about what had happened, because the tremors followed, and then the dome of the entire building was completely torn open and shattered!

Countless maids and guards inside Qingfeng Baoxing were scrambling around in panic, trying to escape, but they were all stopped by the people from the three major families and awaited their fate.

As for Shang Xiong, when he saw the figures of the dozen or so cultivators in the sky, his legs went weak and he knelt down as soon as they cast their cold and murderous gazes over him.

That Blood Shadow Envoy has long since vanished without a trace.

Whether he was killed or escaped is unknown. In any case, he is the only one left here.

"This is Shang Xiong?"

Old Gu Tou looked down at the fat man who was shivering like a drowning dog, his eyes narrowed.

This guy is really ugly.

I thought the person who dared to lay a hand on Young Master Gu's beloved disciple must be a ruthless outlaw with the demeanor of a hero. But now I see that he is definitely not a hero. He has no demeanor at all. He looks like a coward who is about to wet his pants. He is not a fool who doesn't care about his life.

Yet, he still manages to do such ignorant and foolish things.

"It's him."

All three clan leaders had met Shang Xiong before, and they could immediately tell from his aura that this person was real and not some disguised scapegoat.

Then the wronged will have a culprit, and the debtor will have a creditor.

Shang Xiong swallowed hard, struggling to maintain his last shred of dignity under countless murderous gazes, at least to prevent himself from defecating and urinating before he died.

The three major families mobilized all their forces to encircle and annihilate them, and three ancient cultivators with such profound and unfathomable cultivation were also stationed there...

All of this is because of that brat whose life he bought?

Why?

Why did that blond-haired girl cause such a big reaction?

Shang Xiong was unwilling to die like this!

At least we can't die so ignorantly, so inexplicably, without even knowing what kind of beings we've dragged into!

"This senior..."

The old man looked at him and said indifferently, "You have last words, don't you?"

"Who exactly is that girl?"

Shang Xiong asked tremblingly.

He knew he was doomed and only hoped this question could be answered. "Her? She is Young Master Gu's only beloved disciple, nothing more."

Ancient words, each one piercing the heart.

"...Gu Heng's...disciple?"

Shang Xiong was dumbfounded.

Isn't Gu Heng just a foolish mortal who doesn't know what's good for him?

and many more!

What if he wasn't an ordinary person, but a powerful cultivator who was well hidden?

When Shang Xiong finally sorted out his thoughts, he suddenly realized that his defeat was inevitable from the very beginning...

No matter what, he was going to lose, and I just chose the most tragic and foolish way to lose.

"Pfft!" Unable to withstand such a blow, Shang Xiong was so enraged that he spat out blood.

"Alas, ignorance."

Old Gu shook his head. He knew perfectly well that this man had never known what kind of person Young Master Gu really was.

He sighed and reached out to grasp at the air—

Shang Xiong's bones and muscles were shattered, and he died.
