Chapter 1933: The Formation Disk Is Here

Looking at the Second Ancestor's face full of confidence and pride, the Guo family head couldn't help but show a strange expression, and he hesitantly asked.

"Old Ancestor, the Wu family young master you mentioned—could it be the famous Wu family of our Immortal Realm?"

You must know, in this vast and boundless Immortal Realm where the strong are as numerous as clouds, the renowned Wu family is the only one of its kind.

However, the strength of that family is absolutely beyond what the Guo family can hope to match.

With such a huge gap, how could there be any intersection?

If the Guo family could truly cling to that towering tree of the Wu family, how could they remain in a lukewarm state throughout endless Suìyuè, forever stuck in place without progress?

Thinking of this, the Guo family head couldn't help but feel a hint of doubt and helplessness.

Facing the Guo family head's doubtful gaze, the Second Ancestor merely gave a slight smile and then replied with full confidence.

"That's right, exactly the Wu family you're thinking of. So this time, they have no choice at all—the Formation Disk must be handed over to us no matter what, whether they hand it over or not, they must hand it over. Understand?"

Hearing the Second Ancestor's firm words, the Guo family head was first stunned, then a flash of joy crossed his eyes.

Could it be that the Second Ancestor really managed to cling to that sturdy thigh of the Wu family, and moreover, it is the Wu family's esteemed young master?

If that's truly the case, then for the Guo family, it is undoubtedly a great piece of news.

After confirming this exciting fact, the Guo family head hesitated no longer.

Seeing him wave his hand, he decisively ordered someone to fetch the extremely precious Formation Disk quickly, and personally handed it respectfully to the Guo family Second Ancestor.

After staying at the Guo family's place for an entire night, the Second Ancestor originally planned, full of joy, to set up a grand banquet to welcome Wu Zhong who had come from afar, to properly entertain him.

However, unexpectedly, Wu Zhong outright refused this kindness without hesitation.

In fact, Wu Zhong has never had any interest in such social niceties of seeing people off and on, and engaging in empty pleasantries.

If it weren't for Ye Zhangqing's instructions, he wouldn't even bother making this trip. Faced with Wu Zhong's straightforward attitude, the Guo family Second Ancestor showed no displeasure, but instead secretly pondered.

After all, he is the young master of the prestigious Wu family—his status is exalted, and having a bit of his own unique personality is completely normal and understandable.

The next morning, at the break of dawn, the Guo family Second Ancestor set out together with Wu Zhong on the journey to the Netherworld Palace.

Strangely enough, this journey only had the two of them traveling together; although others wished to follow, they all without exception were firmly rejected by Wu Zhong.

As Wu Zhong would say.

"With just the two of us, we have more than enough; if too many people go, they'll only get in the way, causing many inconveniences."

Thus, the Guo family Second Ancestor personally piloted that exquisite, incredibly fast spiritual boat, speeding away all the way.

After a full day of nonstop travel, the two finally reached the Netherworld Palace smoothly.

When the Netherworld Palace received news that the Guo family Second Ancestor had actually come in person to pay a visit, even the usually steadfast Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor was moved, and immediately appeared in person to greet him.

After all, it is extremely rare for a figure of the Old Ancestor's stature to personally take action.

For a moment, everyone in the Netherworld Palace, up and down, couldn't help but feel doubtful and began to speculate.

"What exactly is the Guo family up to this time? Could it be because of that mysterious Mi Jing? Upon careful thought, it seems that only this could cause the Guo family to mobilize so greatly."

Speaking of the competition in that mysterious secret realm, the several powers had long ago made an agreement: once each family's younger generation disciples entered, they would rely solely on their own abilities and luck, and even if casualties occurred, they would be regarded as utterly ordinary.

At that moment, the atmosphere in the Netherworld Palace's main hall was solemn; after several people took their seats in turn, the Netherworld Palace's venerable old ancestor turned his gaze to the Guo family Second Ancestor, without beating around the bush, and asked directly.

"Guo Ancestor, how do you have the time to grace my Netherworld Palace today?"

Seeing the Guo family Second Ancestor relaxed, with a casual smile on his face, he replied.

"Actually, it's not such a major matter; it's merely about the Xianmen restriction. My Guo family, after careful consideration, has decided to remove it. Therefore, I have come specially to your palace, hoping to retrieve from you the Formation Disk used to set up the restriction."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor's formerly calm expression instantly darkened, his eyes sharp as he coldly questioned the Guo family Second Ancestor.

"Guo Ancestor, are you not joking with this old man?"

The Guo family Second Ancestor, however, was utterly unfazed, still wearing a smile as he turned the question back on the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

Hearing this, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor laughed angrily.

"Hehe, Guo Ancestor, you really speak lightly. If that's the case, then my Netherworld Palace can only give Guo Ancestor a clear answer—absolutely impossible, for the Xianmen was successfully built only through the joint efforts of several major powers, expending numerous resources; how can your Guo family, with just a light remark, claim to abolish that crucial restriction?"

Moreover, the Guo family Second Ancestor, as soon as he spoke, used a commanding tone, and this high-and-mighty, disdainful attitude instantly displeased the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master, who silently cursed him.

After all, the Netherworld Palace is also a major power; normally it could not tolerate such high-handed treatment.

Thus, when the Guo family Second Ancestor made his request, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor, without the slightest hesitation, flatly refused.

However, facing the Netherworld Palace's swift and decisive refusal, the Guo family Second Ancestor seemed neither surprised nor angry; only seeing the corner of his mouth lift slightly, revealing a sly smile, he spoke lightly.

"Your Netherworld Palace's answer is truly regrettable. However, this matter is not our Guo family's idea; the true instigator is the Wu family."

After saying that, he deliberately turned his gaze to Wu Zhong, who had been standing silently at the side.

Upon hearing the two words "Wu family," the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of suspicion.

While the two were secretly speculating, the Guo family Second Ancestor laughed and added.

"Oh dear, look at my memory—I've been talking and forgot to introduce you all. This is the Wu family young master—Wu Zhong. I came to your palace this time actually at the entrust of the Wu young master, accompanying him all the way. Since you Netherworld Palace insist on not handing over the Formation Disk, then the specific reason should be explained by you yourselves to the Wu young master."

As soon as those words were spoken, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master felt their heads buzz, and their faces changed instantly.

What a cunning and deceitful Guo family Second Ancestor! He brought the Wu family young master to the Netherworld Palace, yet deliberately kept silent, only revealing the truth after they had clearly refused—isn't this clearly a trap set for the Netherworld Palace to walk into?

Thinking of this, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor was simply furious, wishing to rush forward right then and tear that hateful old fellow into pieces.

But because the Wu family young master was present, they could only suppress their anger, gritting their teeth and silently cursing.

"Old thing..."

However, on the surface, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor quickly regained his composure and respectfully said to Wu Zhong.

Young Master Wu, please wait a moment; I'll have someone fetch the Formation Disk.
