Chapter 1104: with translation of chapter title

Then we will set a trap for Xiao Liang, lure the snake out of its hole. This sword must be destroyed! Xiao Liang must die!

The Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor's gloomy, cold voice kept echoing in the hall.

Shi Yuan Old Ancestor pondered for a moment and said, "Then we will restart the Starry Sky Battlefield. Given Qi Chun Jing's nature, if our top experts don't appear, neither will he. That gives us the condition to set a trap for Xiao Liang."

Upon hearing this, many old ancestors' eyes flashed with a sharp light.

All their plans now are to set a trap for Xiao Liang, thereby destroying the Human Sword!

The current Human Sword is merely a low-star Dao Xu stage; essentially it cannot yet threaten them, these top-tier experts.

Last time Luo Jin Old Ancestor was slain, mainly because Qi Chun Jing's combat power was too strong, and the Human Sword boosted his power again!

If it were anyone else in Wei Yang Heaven, they could not reenact that battle!

Luo Sheng Elder's face showed a hint of sinister smile: "Guile Extermination Old Ancestor knows Xiao Liang best; he has already given us many ideas."

As long as we open the Starry Sky Battlefield, Xiao Liang and these lower-realm people will inevitably enter. I'm wondering, if we capture Xiao Liang, can we summon forth the Human Sword?

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor flicked his sleeve, and a black Gu creature appeared.

This Gu contains immense sword intent on its surface, and inside, surging Dao patterns flow, extraordinarily intricate.

Hiss hiss hiss!

In the hall, a vast sword qi suddenly erupted, like a tide surging outward in all directions.

Luo Sheng Elder and the others looked astonished, "Old Ancestor, what kind of Gu is this?"

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor said, "Sword Master Gu! I happened to obtain this from Gu Yue Old Ancestor; I didn't expect it to be useful. Activating this Gu can command all spiritual swords worldwide; spiritual swords below the high-star Dao Xu stage can be directly controlled!"

Everyone looked shocked.

Such a heaven-defying Gu creature!

I never expected Gu Yue Old Ancestor to possess such a Gu!

The Gu Clan is truly amazing!

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor saw everyone's expressions and lightly said, "The Gu Clan is indeed extraordinary; besides our Guile Clan, there are other miraculous races in the myriad worlds. I once discussed the Dao with Gu Yue Old Ancestor, and only the Gu creatures we cannot imagine exist—there is no Gu the Gu Clan does not have."

Everyone felt curious—Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor actually discussed the Dao with Gu Yue Old Ancestor?

He has never mentioned this before!

Shi Yuan Old Ancestor asked, "Old Ancestor, can you discern Gu Yue Old Ancestor's origins?"

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor lightly shook his head; that time, the one who greeted him was likewise a statue.

He used a supreme secret technique to examine that statue, but one part was blurry and indistinct.

And within the Gu Clan's core territory, there are many seals and restrictions he cannot penetrate.

When he left Gu Origin Heaven, he surveyed the entire Gu Origin Heaven from above.

Stone statues stood like dense tombstones strewn across the starry sky, giving him an extremely chilling thought.

Perhaps the Gu Clan has all died?

Those Gu Clan members wandering the starry sky are actually puppets controlled by Gu Yue Old Ancestor using Gu creatures?

Or perhaps even if they still have life, they are no different from puppets.

After all, their bodies have been implanted with numerous Gu creatures, completely controlled by Gu Yue Old Ancestor, like marionettes.

This is also why Fang Yuan wants to flee Gu Origin Heaven!

However, regarding this, Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor also considered that this might be a scheme of Gu Yue Old Ancestor!

After all, an existence like Gu Yue Old Ancestor could hardly let a mere Fang Yuan escape his control.

Nine-turn Fate Gu!

We don't know what fate Gu Yue Old Ancestor has arranged for Fang Yuan.

Thinking of this, Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor couldn't help but sigh; it has already been a long time since he last discussed the Dao with Gu Yue Old Ancestor.

It's already a very distant matter!

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor gathered his spirit, his gaze intimidating like a black hole, and he spoke slowly.

Gu Yue Old Ancestor is extremely miraculous; I have never probed into him. However, the Gu Clan has traversed billions of miles of starry space to reach the World Tree; they must have endured similar hardships, losing countless clansmen.

I suspect Gu Yue Old Ancestor also suffered heavy injuries and is recuperating in the core star sea.

The reason our Guile Hall initially cooperated with Gu Yue Old Ancestor is also because, when I once discussed the Dao with him, he swore a great Dao oath not to contend with us for the Primordial Seeds.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan Old Ancestor and the others were all shocked.

This is the first time Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor has revealed such a secret!

No wonder they chose for the Guile Hall to cooperate with Gu Origin Heaven.

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor continued, "At first glance, Gu Yue Old Ancestor is doing the same. Back in the lower realms, the Gu Clan also helped us seek the Primordial Seeds. Their plan seems different from that of our Gu Clan."

Shi Yuan Old Ancestor frowned and asked, "Perhaps the Gu Clan's target is Lu Xuan? Gu Yue Old Ancestor went to such great lengths to arrange things, ultimately making Yang Xuan become Lu Xuan's disciple, and Yang Xuan's body contains the power of Karma Gu, which cannot be removed. He must intend to do something to Lu Xuan."

Whether it's Gu Yue Old Ancestor or Lu Xuan at his peak, our Guile Hall's current state cannot touch them!

Back then, if not for Lu Xuan guarding Wei Yang Heaven, but his main spirit was focused on nurturing the World Tree, we would have had no chance to inflict heavy damage on him! In that battle, our Guile Hall also paid dearly, even those closed-off old ancestors emerged one after another.

I never expected Lu Xuan to still not be completely dead!

……

Recalling these past events, Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor's deep eyes were shrouded in a mist, so even he could not see clearly: "There are too many secrets in the World Tree. Before our descent, Lu Xuan was already stationed here; perhaps he too was waiting to seize the Primordial Seeds. And Gu Yue Old Ancestor's descent clearly shows he knows of Lu Xuan."

I suspect Lu Xuan is not a native of the World Tree, but comes from outside the Giant Palm World, just like us, likewise arriving here for the Primordial Seeds!

Shi Yuan Old Ancestor and the others all furrowed their brows deeply.

A moment of silence.

Dark Sorrow Old Ancestor lightly flicked his sleeve and said, "Alright, let's not speak of this further. No matter how strong Lu Xuan was before, past is past, present is present. He is now weak—this is our opportunity."

The Azure Abyss Emperor is a useless waste; originally we thought our Guile Hall securing the Nine-turn Battle Gu for him would give him some use, but now it seems his ability is struggling even to defend that measly plot of land in Azure Abyss Heaven.

If it weren't for the Azure Abyss Emperor spending three years failing to capture the Spirit Martial Emperor, our Guile Hall wouldn't be so passive! Now our Guile Hall has merely obtained a large amount of World Tree power; this gain falls far short of our expectations.

Ancestor Anshang's voice carried a great dissatisfaction.

"Huang Zhen still thought that when we leave the World Tree, he would take him away. Humph... He's thinking too much."

Then, he shifted his tone, pushing out the Sword Master Gu from his palm, "This time, which lineage is willing to bear the heavy responsibility of destroying the sword of humanity?"
