Chapter 874: The Outbreak of the Great War

"Get intimate with your own head."

Xuan Ji rolled her eyes, ignored Wang Jianqiang's glib remark, and looked at the Array light screen in the sky, her gaze flickering.

Seeing this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

It seemed Xuan Ji really had a way.

Thinking about it, that made sense.

Since she had been planning for so long, how could she not have the slightest preparation for this Protective Sect Array?

Just as Xuan Ji was about to use her hidden means to escape.

Wen Tiansheng suddenly took out a Crystal Ball the size of a dragon's eye.

"Want to keep us here?"

"You won't be able to do it unless your Youyun Holy Land is willing to suffer heavy losses."

As Wen Tiansheng's cold voice rang out, the Crystal Ball in his hand suddenly shattered.

Dazzling Spirit Light shone forth, rapidly gathering into a human shape, transforming into a ray of light and shadow.

The light and shadow had the appearance of an old man, short and thin, with skin full of wrinkles.

His hair and beard were completely gray, and he leaned on a dragon-headed cane in his hand.

He looked weak and frail.

But the moment he appeared.

An indescribable sense of oppression instantly permeated the air, dispersing the pressure of the Youyun Holy Land's Protective Sect Array.

It made the hearts of all the powerful figures present jump.

"It's you!"

"You old fellow, you really haven't died yet!"

Luo Ling stared fixedly at the old man, his expression extremely grave.

Following Luo Ling's words, the others present seemed to recognize the old man's identity as well.

"It's him!"

"He really is still alive!"

"The Cultivators of his generation have long since died out; to think he is still alive in this world!"

"It is widely rumored that his race has a long lifespan, and it is true indeed."

……

Everyone stared at the old man, looks of shock appearing on their faces one after another.

This was an ancient existence.

Among the big shots present, almost no one had seen his true form.

The reason they recognized him was only from hearing their elders mention him many years ago.

They knew this person had a long lifespan and very likely had not yet fallen.

They did not expect that today, in this Youyun Holy Land, this existence who only existed in legends would actually appear.

The light and shadow before them was clearly just his avatar, but all the big shots had heard of his ferocity, and even when facing just an avatar, they dared not underestimate him in the slightest.

On the other side.

Wang Jianqiang was also staring at the old man.

Information about him had already appeared in his mind.

"Name: Gui Yingjun

Gender: Male

Cultivation: Great Vehicle Late Stage"

Upon seeing the old man's information, Wang Jianqiang could not help but widen his eyes a bit.

A Great Vehicle Late Stage Cultivator!

To think that the Beast Taming Sect still hid a Great Vehicle Late Stage Cultivator!

Wait...

Gui Yingjun?

This name made him think of Gui Shu, whom Long Er had mentioned.

Could the Gui Shu that Long Er spoke of be him?

If Gui Shu was this person, then it was understandable why Wen Tiansheng and Wu Zhanglao were so helpless when facing Long Er.

After Gui Yingjun appeared, he looked at the Protective Sect Array in the sky, his gaze shifting.

Then he calmly withdrew his gaze and looked at the people present, "Tsk tsk, quite a scene."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted and finally landed on the murderous Luo Ling.

A flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Great Vehicle Mid-Stage?"

"The Youyun Holy Land has actually made some progress; to think a Cultivator of this level was born within the sect."

Hearing Gui Yingjun's words, the leaders of the various major forces present did not feel that Gui Yingjun was arrogant.

Because he was too ancient.

The rise of the Youyun Holy Land had only occurred within the last thousand years.

A thousand years ago.

The Youyun Holy Land could barely be considered a top-tier force, and its strength was inferior to the Beast Taming Sect.

After finishing, Gui Yingjun turned his head to look at Wen Tiansheng and said indifferently, "Little Holy Son, you were a coward since you were a child, always stabbing people in the back, without a shred of manliness. You've actually made some progress now, daring to directly provoke a force of this level."

"Not bad, not bad. You've lived for more than half a lifetime, and you've finally done something that makes me appreciate you."

"The Youyun Holy Land has actually set up such a grand Formation; it seems your harvest from this trip is not small."

"What did you do? Tell me and let me be happy."

Wen Tiansheng's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously glanced at Wang Jianqiang before looking at Gui Yingjun with a dry laugh, "Ancestor, let's talk about these things after we go back. We must resolve the trouble in front of us first."

"That's true."

Gui Yingjun nodded, and his gaze returned to Luo Ling.

"Huh?"

"You little doll are not simple!"

After Gui Yingjun scrutinized Luo Ling carefully, a flash of bright light appeared in his eyes.

Luo Ling's expression changed.

The moment Gui Yingjun's gaze fell upon him, he actually had the illusion of being seen through.

With a movement of his will, he restrained his aura.

That feeling of being seen through then disappeared.

He looked at Gui Yingjun with a gloomy expression, "Old thing, your era has already passed, and the current Youyun Holy Land is no longer the Youyun Holy Land of the past."

"If your true body had come, I might still be a bit wary."

"But it is just an avatar; how dare you be so arrogant in front of this Sacred Lord?"

"You are courting death!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible force erupted from his body.

With him as the center, the surrounding space visibly distorted and expanded outward.

The expressions of the people around changed, and they hurriedly retreated.

Even Wen Tiansheng did not dare to be easily affected by this power and dodged away.

Only Gui Yingjun remained standing in place with a calm expression, as if he had not noticed this power at all.

In the blink of an eye.

The distorted space swept past the spot where Gui Yingjun stood, enveloping him within it.

After swallowing Gui Yingjun, the distorted space stopped expanding outward, but the degree of spatial distortion increased sharply.

That void seemed like a piece of paper in a gale, ready to be torn to shreds at any moment.

This extremely distorted space could not only distort vision, making it impossible for people to see the scene inside, but it could even distort Spirit Sense.

Cultivators below the Great Vehicle Stage could not even watch the battle.

The moment Luo Ling and Gui Yingjun started the battle.

The dozen or so Void Refinement Stage cultivators who had been surrounding the five Beast Taming Sect Elders and Yuan Xiuya and the others also attacked one after another, striking at the people of the Beast Taming Sect.

Seeing this, the five Elders hurriedly summoned their respective spirit beasts and joined forces to resist the siege of the Youyun Holy Land experts.

However, the gap in numbers between the two sides was too large, and they also had to divide their attention to protect Yuan Xiuya and the other Beast Taming Sect Disciples.

As soon as they clashed, they were firmly suppressed.

Seeing this, Wen Tiansheng frowned and was about to step in to support them.

But just as he was preparing to strike, he suddenly frowned.

Spiritual Power burst forth, enveloping his entire body.

The moment he erupted with Spiritual Power, a figure suddenly flashed out like a ghost.

The next moment.

The surrounding space suddenly distorted.

He and the figure that had suddenly appeared were both submerged in that piece of distorted space.
