322. Chapter 322: Turmoil in the Clan!

"Little friend Gu Fei, is there something the matter?"

Lei Ying asked, his rugged face showing a hint of curiosity.

"Two seniors, I would like to return to the Ancient Realm for a trip to see my family."

Gu Fei smiled slightly and spoke straight to the point.

Hearing Gu Fei's words, Lei Ying and Yan Jin exchanged a glance, a flicker of understanding passing through their eyes.

Although Gu Fei was young, he was already the leader of a clan and bore heavy burdens.

But now that the great battle had just come to an end, Gu Fei had also been fighting desperately throughout this conflict.

It was only reasonable for him to take a rest.

"Understood, understood."

Yan Jin nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his crimson eyes.

"That's right."

"We will notify you if there is any situation!"

Lei Ying also echoed, his sturdy body leaning forward slightly as he patted Gu Fei on the shoulder.

Gu Fei had not expected the two seniors to be so understanding of him.

One must know that in the past, they were high and mighty existences; they would never have been so amiable to a junior.

But now, Gu Fei had already proven his worth with his own strength! Even these two were extremely polite to Gu Fei. "Many thanks to both seniors for understanding."

"I will return very soon."

Gu Fei said sincerely.

Lei Ying and Yan Jin nodded and watched Gu Fei leave.

Looking at that tall, straight back, a trace of gratification flashed in both their eyes.

They knew that with such a heaven-proud expert, the Ancient Clan would surely be even more glorious in the future.

After leaving the large tent, Gu Fei did not delay and immediately soared into the air.

At the same time, in the Ancient Realm. "Elder Gu Yang, I never expected that you would actually dare to make a move against the Young Clan Leader's child!"

An angry roar echoed over the Ancient Realm.

Countless experts clad in black armor could be seen speeding through the sky, their target being an old man with a head of white hair.

That old man was none other than the guardian of the Ancient Clan's Ancestral Hall—Gu Yang.

It turned out that after Gu Yang learned the news of the Soul Clan's crushing defeat, he had actually developed evil intentions. He wanted to take the Ancient Clan's Young Clan Leader's child to use as a threat, in order to exchange for his own benefits.

However, he never imagined that he would be intercepted by Cai'er. Not only that, but Cai'er had also wounded him during their exchange. After the news spread, the entire Ancient Clan was in an uproar, and countless experts began to hunt down Gu Yang.

"Damn it!"

Gu Yang gritted his teeth, his face filled with anger and unwillingness.

That aged face was covered in cold sweat; clearly, he was not lightly injured.

At this moment, Gu Yang's speed was astonishingly fast, constantly weaving through the mountain ranges of the Ancient Realm to shake off the clansmen behind him. "Don't let him run!"

"Catch the traitor!"

Roars came from behind, with countless experts of the Black Annihilation Army following closely in pursuit.

Their eyes burned with flames of rage, wishing they could tear Gu Yang into ten thousand pieces.

Gu Yang secretly lamented in his heart.

He had not expected things to turn out like this.

He had originally thought that since most of the Ancient Clan's strength had been sent to the Allied Forces, the defense within the clan would be relatively empty, allowing him to succeed easily.

Who would have known he would encounter that bane, Cai'er.

"Damn it!"

Gu Yang cursed in a low voice, a flicker of viciousness flashing in his eyes.

He knew very well that if he were caught, the punishment awaiting him would surely be worse than death.

Before a dense forest, Gu Yang's eyes lit up, and he dove in without hesitation.

He knew the terrain of the Ancient Realm like the back of his hand and knew that this forest was intricate and complex, making it the best place to hide.

Sure enough, after entering the forest, the sounds of the pursuing troops gradually faded away.

Gu Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but this fellow was clearly in a sorry state at the moment. He knew this was only temporary safety.

Moreover, there was no turning back for him now! "Gu Yang!"

Xun Er appeared before Gu Yang. Her stunning face carried a hint of disbelief; clearly, she had not expected that Gu Yang, who had always been highly respected, would do such a thing.

Seeing this, Gu Yang's complexion turned pale instantly.

He also had not expected to encounter Xun Er here.

One must know that encountering Xun Er here meant his tracks would be exposed! "Xun Er, this old man actually..."

Gu Yang feigned calmness.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xun Er.

"There is no need to explain; your actions have already said everything."

Xun Er said coldly, a flash of icy light appearing in her beautiful eyes.

In the next moment, Gu Yang waved his hand, and a blindingly strong light swept across the entire area. By the time Xun Er opened her eyes, Gu Yang was nowhere to be seen. Just then, a commotion suddenly came from not far away.

Gu Lie could be seen rushing over with a group of Ancient Clan experts, surrounding the entire area in an instant.

"Xun Er, the Ancient Saint Mountain Range has now been sealed; that fellow Gu Yang definitely hasn't escaped."

"You lead the remaining Black Annihilation Army and root out Gu Yang!"

Gu Lie said in a deep voice, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings. Upon hearing this, Xun Er immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes!"

Xun Er also replied respectfully, "Everyone, split into small teams! Conduct a carpet search of the entire Ancient Saint Mountain Range."

"You must find Gu Yang!"

Xun Er ordered in a loud voice, her tone crisp and majestic.

"Yes!"

Countless members of the Black Annihilation Army responded in unison, their voices uniform and their momentum astonishing.

Following Xun Er's order, the entire Ancient Saint Mountain Range suddenly boiled over with activity.

Countless members of the Black Annihilation Army scattered like ants, beginning a comprehensive search.

These clansmen climbed mountains and crossed ridges, not letting a single corner go unchecked.

They were practically turning the entire Ancient Clan upside down!

However, what no one expected was that Gu Yang seemed to have vanished into thin air.

This was hardly surprising. After all, for so many years, Gu Yang had been extremely familiar with the terrain of the entire Ancient Clan.

Trying to find this fellow would indeed take some effort. Meanwhile, in a residence on a mountaintop of the Ancient Clan, Cai'er and Xiao Yixian were guarding Xianle and Wushuang.

The two children were sleeping quietly, completely unaware of everything happening outside.

"That damned Gu Yang, to actually dare to lay a hand on the children!"

Cai'er said through gritted teeth, flames of anger flickering in her beautiful eyes.

"Don't worry, with us here, the children will be fine."

Xiao Yixian gently patted Cai'er's shoulder and comforted her in a soft voice.

The two exchanged a glance, a trace of determination flashing in their eyes. They knew that to protect the children, they were willing to give everything.

Just then, a commotion suddenly came from outside.

"Elder Gu Yang, considering your service in guarding the Ancestral Hall, if you come out voluntarily and explain this matter, perhaps you can still be dealt with leniently."

Xun Er's voice echoed throughout the Ancient Realm. Her crisp and pleasant voice carried a hint of exhortation, clearly hoping that Gu Yang would voluntarily appear.

However, the only response to her was silence.

Gu Yang was not a member of the Ancient Clan at all.

Hundreds of years ago, the real Gu Yang had already died.

The current Gu Yang was a member of the Soul Clan, so how could he possibly turn back?

"It's a pity that the Black Annihilation King has to seal the space of the Ancient Saint Mountain Range, otherwise we would definitely be able to find him!"

"When the Clan Leader returns, no matter how deeply this Gu Yang is hiding, he won't be able to escape the Clan Leader's palm!"

Some Ancient Clan members were whispering, their faces filled with anger. (End of this chapter)
