Chapter 1154  : Remnants from the Royal Family of Great Yan VS Elite in the Dao of Heaven

Boom!

The door was flung open. A group of Chinese martial artists strode in with the hot wind, which howled madly as these martial artists walked in.

Five powerful martial artists and three old men led the group who walked into the inn. The veins on their temples popped up. Their gazes were sharp like an eagle’s. There were two more middle-aged men with extraordinary elegance walking in behind them, and there was one ethereally beautiful woman walking behind them with a sword. She looked like an immortal.

“Who are you?!”

The red-clad Lamas who strode into the inn currently had the inn under control. When they saw that the people here had actually started fighting against their companions outside, they became incredibly angry. Without any other word, they pounced over, and their weapons sliced through the air.

“Hmph!”

The three old men’s eyes glowed coldly. They let out derisive snorts at the same time. These red-clad Lamas were nothing to them. Without hesitation, they rushed into the encirclement.

These three people faced more than ten Myth Realm elites, and a shocking scene appeared.

Most of the red-clad Lamas used sabers and swords. Sword forces and saber glares charged at the three old men, and they were fierce and ruthless. In an instant, they formed a formation, and the threat brought by it had caused the old follower at the later stage of Myth Realm quite a lot of trouble earlier. However, once the three old men rushed into the fray, they looked as if they entered a deserted land.

The three old men parried all the red-clad Lamas’ attacks.

At the moment the intersecting and fierce sword forces reached the old men, an invisible but gentle force was released from the old men. They easily changed the attack trajectory of the sword forces, and these sword forces crashed into the saber glares that attacked them from another side.

Ting!

Both were cancelled off in the air.

The three old men used the same method to negate the attacks. With calm expressions, they split into three fighting groups, and they moved about at ease.

Even though more red-clad Lamas joined the fray, the three old men did not have their faces turn red from exertion, and neither did they struggle to catch their breath. They did not spend much of their energy even when they fought against six to seven people alone. They even started laughing derisively. “Hahahaha! Hu Baiwan, are these the disciples who put into Prince Ming’s Temple? They don’t seem strong at all!”

Hu Baiwan said nothing, his expression was red with rage.

The remaining red-clad Lamas did not dare to join the fight readily. They guarded Hu Baiwan and stared at their people fighting against their own people with frowns on their faces.

“Shifting Stars... It truly is amazing.”

Silver Wolf, Phantasmal Shadow, and the other martial artists had already managed to identify who these three old men were.

No one else in the world aside from the sages of the Murong Clan were able to execute the principle of “I will deal with you the same way as you dealt with me” with such ease.

“I didn’t expect that the Murong Clan would send so many people over.”

“But it’s not strange either.” Phantasmal Shadow quickly cast a glance at the white-clad young man who remained seated by his table and stood out like a sore thumb. She sighed, and she spoke, her voice was projected only to her people. “The descendants of the Murong Clan have always carried the mission of restoring the Great Yan Dynasty. The quests from the clan are mostly centered around learning the martial arts in the world and gathering all sorts of divine weapons. The desert palace contains all sorts of treasures from the world, and the Murong Clan will not miss this opportunity.

“That Gusu’s Blue-robed Hero is already very outstanding. I didn’t expect that the Murong Clan would send more martial artists to go with him. By the looks of it, even Hu Baiwan might not be able to suppress the Murong Clan.”

“Yeah...” Wu Kuo and the others nodded behind her.

“Stop!”

Hu Baiwan finally spoke. The arrival of the Murong Clan’s elites caused him to have a vague feeling that the situation was beginning to slip from his control. “Shifting Stars is indeed incredibly profound. Murong Clan Elders, please stop.”

He summoned his red-clad Lamas back.

The three old men from the Murong Clan stopped attacking at the same time. They returned to the middle-aged man and the Murong Clan Lady’s sides. “Master, fortune is on our side. We have not failed in our task.”

“Thank you, elders.” One of the middle-aged men was the current clan leader of the Murong Clan, Murong Xun. He had a modest smile when he nodded at Hu Baiwan slightly.

“Since the Murong Clan has already come here, it means that the treasures in the desert palace will not belong to anyone else. Brother Hu, you’re just a merchant. It will not be too late for you to remove yourself from the situation now.” His words were laced with a threatening and domineering tone.

Hu Baiwan’t expression was incredibly sour.

It was clear that the Murong Clan was determined to have the treasures for themselves this time.

Not only had they brought forward three grand elders who were at the peak of Myth Realm, even the clan leader himself had come forward personally. He had also brought all the elders from the Murong Clan. This lineup was basically the same as deploying all the forces from one or two sects.

“With your strength, you don’t have the right to have my master leave this place.” The barbarian beside Hu Baiwan snorted coldly. Even though the Murong Clan had plenty of elites, when he cast a glance at Osaya, who was next to the white-clad young man, he felt his heart becoming calm.

After he finished speaking, the barbarian spoke to a man across him. This man had never once spoken since the start of the entire fiasco.

“Master of Gu Poison, the Murong Clan has sent all their elites over, and they must have come here for the desert palace. Please attack so that they will be aware of the overwhelming odds against them.”

The barbarian who had never spoken had a square face. His skin was bronze, and his eyes were rather long, narrow, and dark. When he heard this, he opened his eyes and nodded at Hu Baiwan. As everyone watched him, he stood up.

There were two spiders that were of a different skin tone from his skin tattooed into the back of his back. When he pushed against the table and got up, it was as if these two spiders were eating. They appeared even more monstrous and mysterious.

“A Gu poison disciple of the sorcerer’s clan?”

The clan leader of the Murong clan had his expression change. His pupils shrank slightly.

No matter what, the Murong Clan had once lorded over the land, and they had a thorough understanding of the martial arts in the world. When the clan leader saw the exquisite box in the Gu poison user’s hands, it was only par for the course that his expression became grave.

When the barbarian heard of the clan leader asking about his identity, he smiled arrogantly, and he said slowly, “The people in West Region prefer to call me the King of Gu Poison or the Master of Gu Poison.”

The clan leader of the Murong Clan had his pupils shrink rapidly.

‘King of Gu Poison?!’

“You’re the Master of Gu Poison?!”

At the same time, the Murong Clan Lady frowned and gasped in surprise in the crowd. Her voice was grave. “Rumors have it that you’re someone who managed to reach the dao of heaven three years ago through the path of Gu poison.”

As one of the most outstanding of the younger generation in the Murong Clan, the Murong Clan Lady had a very clear understanding of the elites in the world. Naturally, she knew just how strong the King of Gu Poison was.

“No.” The Master of Gu Poison did not have his smile fade away. He shook his head slowly. “It’s impossible for anyone to enter the dao of heaven by rearing Gu insects. The world calls me the King of Gu Poison because my Gu insects are different from other people’s!

“Other people rear their Gu insects by choosing elite insects and feeding them with human blood, but I use Gu insect blood to feed mine, and they mutated from there. They stepped into the dao of heaven on their own.”

When he said these words, all the people in the inn were shocked, including the white-clad young man who had been paying attention to the elites from the Murong Clan. Even he was slightly amazed, and his attention moved from the Murong Clan to the unfathomable Master of Gu Poison.

‘His Gu insects entered the dao of heaven?

‘What exactly does he mean by his Gu insects entering the dao of heaven?’

“Can Gu insects enter the dao of heaven?”

“All manner of living in the world can enter the dao of heaven, so why can’t Gu insects?” The Master of Gu Poison smiled arrogantly. “I don’t have a clear grasp as to what a Gu insect’s dao is, and I’m only known as the King of Gu poison because the Gu insects I rear can make those at the dao of heaven feel helpless against them. Besides, they have once killed those at the dao of heaven before...”

When he said this, his tone changed. A brutal look appeared on the Master of Gu Poison’s face. “I’ve heard that the Murong Clan’s Shifting Stars is peerless and can break all the martial arts in the world. I wonder if it’s effective against my Gu insects.”

When they heard the blatant mockery and provocation in the Master of Gu Poison’s words, the three grand elders from the Murong Clan had their expressions turn sour.

One, it was because the Master of Gu Poison’s fame was indeed great in West Region, and he was someone who had indeed entered the dao of heaven.

Two, there was something else incredibly troublesome about him. There was no way a Gu insect which could kill an elite at the dao of heaven was an ordinary existence. Shifting Stars could negate all the martial arts in the world, but they were not confident when it came to Gu insects.

The chances of the three grand elders losing against the Master of Gu Poison was incredibly high. They were, after all, only at Myth Realm, and the pressure they faced was great when they faced a Gu insect at the dao of heaven.

But when two armies went to war against each other, morale was incredibly important. If they let the Master of Gu Poison gain an upper hand against them in Dragon Gate Inn, the Murong Clan’s plan of looting all the treasures from the desert palace would go up in smoke.

The Murong Clan had been waiting in secret for a long time for this chance. They would not back down when this chance in a blue moon finally presented itself.

This was something that every member of the Murong Clan knew very well.

The Murong Clan Lady walked out from the crowd.

She whispered to her father, who was also the current clan leader of the Murong Clan. “Elites from the dao of heaven are very difficult to fight against. The chances of us losing are great if we don’t know our enemies well. Father, only I have an understanding towards Gu insects in the family. Why don’t you let me test the true strength of the Master of Gu Poison? Then, you can come to a decision with the three elders.”

“No!”

“Third Lady...”

“You’re not the Master of Gu Poison’s opponent. I’m here, and I won’t let you march to your own death. Go back!” Murong Xun gave his daughter a complicated expression. He knew that his daughter was thinking about searching for a weakness from the Master of Gu Poison, but the price for it might be her life.

But the Murong Clan Lady did not intend to give up just like this. “Father, only I am qualified to test the Master of Gu Poison’s strength from among those in the Murong Clan. Right now, it’s clearly not appropriate for you or the three grand elders to attack. Nothing must happen to you.”

“The lady is right.” One among the three old men spoke up quietly.

“Grand Elder Tai!”

Murong Xun glared at the grand elder who spoke behind him. The grand elder sighed in great remorse. “It is impossible for there to be no sacrifices when we try to achieve a great cause. The Third Lady is noble and righteous, and it is a blessing for the Murong Clan that she is this way.”

“Father, there is no need for you to say anything else. We’ve come to a decision.” When the Murong Clan Lady saw that the three grand elders seemed to be convinced, her tone became even firmer.

Once she finished speaking, she did not wait for Murong Xun to speak. She jumped out from the crowd and landed in front of the Master of Gu Poison.

The Master of Gu Poison gave the Murong Clan Lady a derisive look.

“Murong Clan, you’re sending a young girl to fight against me?”

“You are strong, Master of Gu Poison, if I went against you alone, I would be underestimating your fame. Chun Lan, Qiu Zhu, Xia Mei, Dong Xue!” The Murong Clan Lady called out to the group behind the Murong Clan, and immediately, four pretty figures dressed in different colored clothes shot out.

These four women were pretty in their own ways. Each of them held a sword in their hands, and they appeared beside the Murong Clan Lady. All five attacked at the same time.

“Oh?” The Master of Gu Poison quirked an eyebrow. Before he could continue speaking, the Murong Clan Lady had already spoken, since the situation was extremely critical. She spoke firmly, “Form the Spring Autumn Sword Formation!”

“Understood!”

The four girls responded clearly.

They moved, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the Master of Gu Poison.
