Tomb Raiders: After the Nine Gates Ancestor, they let loose and did whatever they wanted!

The word "just now" was deliberately drawn out, the pronunciation of the two characters "clothes" being both light and heavy, carrying a strange rhythm that heralded the impending disaster.

Yet, there wasn't a trace of nervousness on his face or mask; it was more like he was sharing some earth-shattering gossip.

?＞?o? .?.?

Just then, one of the retainers, relying on the remoteness of his mountain stronghold and the fact that the collapse of the Qishan Palace would not affect him, or perhaps driven by extreme fear, developed a twisted courage.

He forced back his trembling and managed to squeeze out a few dry, grating laughs from his throat.

He stiffened his neck, his face flushed, and his voice rose to an almost shrill level, giving him an unintelligent appearance.

"Yu Wuxia! Have you been blinded by the overwhelming evil energy here? Spreading rumors and disturbing people's minds! If there is any disturbance here, I..."

He had intended to confidently declare, "I'll be the first to object!" But his gaze involuntarily became fixed on the charred crack at the feet of the wandering man, which seemed to be silently widening.

And from the eerie light that faintly emanated from the depths of the cracks, sending chills down one's spine, the latter half of the harsh words seemed to be choked, stuck in the throat, leaving only a breathy sound...

"Never mind... they're just too capable."

In the cultivation world, addressing someone by their first name is actually quite impolite, but this group of people really lacks manners.

Surprisingly, the notoriously capricious Jianxuan Sanren was not angered by this. He even tilted his head with interest, his mask facing the guest.

Wei Wuxian: emmm…

(′??? ) ? I haven't seen such a stubborn idiot in a long time. He's being used as a pawn without even realizing it.

At the same time, I also mentally clarified for myself that such demoralizing remarks are indeed infuriating, so he's really not that petty, okay? ↘

_(′?`」 ∠)

The thought, tinged with a hint of Wei Wuxian's self-pity, flashed through my mind.

It was immediately replaced by a more intense, muffled tremor from the ground beneath their feet, like a giant beast turning over in an abyss.

Beneath the mask, Wei Wuxian's lips curled into a silent, almost imperceptible, smile.

Everything is going according to plan.

He barely even turned his head slightly; the cold mask merely shifted slightly, giving the guest a fleeting, nonchalant glance.

silent.

But it felt as if a real cold front had swept through.

The mocking smile on the retainer's face froze instantly, all color draining from his face. An invisible terror, originating from the very instinct of life, gripped him. His throat gurgled, but no sound came out.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through my clothes, and a bone-chilling coldness exploded along my spine!

A chill ran down my spine: "How can this person change their attitude faster than turning the pages of a book? Oh, I haven't even seen their face yet..."

The man's mocking smile froze on his face instantly, as if he had been choked. Cold sweat poured down his face, and he dared not utter another word, letting out a short gasp.

His face turned pale, and he shrank back, hiding obediently.

<(_ _)>

……

The last embers of the setting sun were completely swallowed by darkness, and the old site of Houqi Mountain was so deathly silent that it seemed to devour all sound.

The ruins have become a den of shadows, with only the astrolabe hovering at Jianxuan Sanren's fingertip still emitting a faint, eerie light.

This faint light shone on his lifeless mask, becoming the only source of light in the desolate ruins, yet also the sole, chilling source of icy coldness in the hearts of everyone present.

A group of cultivators, driven by greed but now trembling with fear, were gripped by terror.

Similar gloomy weather, similar broken walls and ruins, fate seems to be turning around at this moment, pointing to that heart-pounding turning point!

(??? ?? ???)wow!*?

The power of Wei Wuxian, the Yiling Patriarch, in "cutting the big one" is now fully revealed!

(?w?)hiahiahia～

Wei Wuxian: I really do have a deep connection with this place!

Suddenly, "Buzz—Clang!↗"

A piercing, shrill screech, like rusted metal being scraped by a tremendous force, suddenly erupted from the seemingly calm star chart!

The astrolabe's pointer emitted a sharp, metallic hiss as it spun wildly, instantly drawing away all fearful gazes!

This sudden, unexpected noise instantly drew away every terrified gaze from the ruins, and hearts seemed to clench in their throats!

Immediately following, a dull thud was heard, not an explosion, but more like the sigh of some extremely delicate and fragile internal structure quietly collapsing under immense force.

A hazy, intoxicating "inverted dust," swirling with a halo that was neither sun nor moon, silently spread out...
