Chapter 437: Chapter 201: Ancestral Land in Danger? That’s it?_1

A group of ancient gods were secretly discussing and making wild conjectures.

It’s not their fault for thinking this way.

After all, they were making assumptions about Qi Yuan based on a normal human’s thought process.

Even the issues pointed out by Qi Yuan seemed somewhat hard for them to comprehend.

Nevertheless, running away was certainly the right thing to do.

They had willingly thrown their lot in with the Evil God, so it was natural they would zealously guard their own lives.

"Don’t tell the ancient God Yan Xi about this. He may have turned traitor long ago, and it’s him who has been leaking our news!"

The group communicated telepathically, pretending as though nothing had happened.

"Old Serpent, how about we form a team when we enter the ancestral land this time? We can watch each other’s backs." A stoic man turned to the Old Serpent at this moment.

Lost in his own thoughts, the Old Serpent nodded, "Alright."

"I have a treasure here that can integrate our attacks and defenses and let us jointly use divine power. Old Serpent, would you like to try it together?" the black brawny man asked.

The Old Serpent’s face abruptly changed, "No need!"

Such a treasure could boost their combined strength but would effectively chain him to the black brawny man.

What a ruthless heart!

His plan was to utterly annihilate him here!

All of the Old Serpent’s hesitations vanished at this moment, the only thought in his mind was to run as soon as he entered the ancestral land.

The rest of the traitors, upon witnessing this event, had the same idea.

The black burly man looked bewildered, totally clueless about what was happening.

Why had the Old Serpent reacted so strongly?

The twin sister, watching the scene, wore a thoughtful expression.

"Let’s go, and check out the ancestral land." Qi Yuan next to her seemed excited.

At this moment, the grey sky in front of them turned white, and a transparent film appeared in their vision.

"It’s a bit like an energy shield. Interesting." As Qi Yuan looked at the thin film rising in the sky of the ancestral land, a thoughtful expression crossed his face.

In the usual Cultivation world, such Formations always gave off a feeling of spirituality.

But the one here had a sci-fi twist to it.

The group looked at the energy shield and promptly stepped into it.

Zhu Zhuangshi, Yu Lei, Zhao Zun, and the others followed Qi Yuan, crossing the energy shield and entering the ancestral land.

Suddenly, several strong presences erupted.

The Old Serpent’s body was enveloped in powerful divine power, making a run for it.

The three Purple Mansion attendants around the ancient God Yan Xi suddenly unleashed their Heaven-stepping Second Step abilities, their divine orifices burning at this moment, and they escaped swiftly.

The remaining ancient gods that Qi Yuan had named, they also made their escape, employing their utmost strength.

Their speed was thousands of times faster than the speed of sound and really exaggerated.

"What’s going on?" The black brawny man was dumbfounded. Seeing the ancient gods fleeing, he didn’t think twice but followed them.

The remaining ancient gods stood dumbfounded, looking at each other in disbelief.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but remark, "Is there a reward for coming first in the race that’s apparently happening in the ancestral land?"

The twin sister woke from her confusion, "I’ve never heard of such a thing."

"Why is that big burly black man running? Qi Yuan had several theories for why the others might be running but he didn’t understand why the black brawny man was running.

The remaining ancient gods were puzzled. Eventually, Yan Xi turned to Qi Yuan with a look of awe in his eyes, "Senior, did the Venerable Ao Shi let you in?"

At this statement, the confusion in many eyes deepened even more.

Qi Yuan looked confused, "What Venerable Ao Shi?"

Yan Xi seemed a bit puzzled, "Didn’t some Venerable discover Ao Shi Venerable’s plot to lay a claim on the ancestral land, turn some of the ancient gods against it, and prepared everything for this action?

Besides the Venerable of Good Fortune, all other ancient gods, including Old Serpent, had long allied themselves with the Evil God."

The words of Yan Xi left the other ancient gods present stunned.

"What, they have sided with Venerable Ao Shi?"

"Even the last gate is being plotted against by Venerable Ao Shi, could it be..."

"True, when the Senior pointed them out just now, I did think something was suspicious."

The place buzzed with discussion, and Yan Xi told everyone about more facts.

Years ago, Yan Xi’s family had been captured by Venerable Ao Shi. He was forced to bring three apprentices, who were in fact True Gods of the Heaven-Stepping Second Step, into the ancestral land.

The other True Gods, including Old Serpent, had long been turned by Venerable Ao Shi.

This time, upon entering the ancestral land, they had two objectives: to secretly execute the present ancient gods, and following Venerable Ao Shi’s orders, they were to seize control of the last gate.

The other ancient gods, after hearing all this, were all completely astounded.

"Thank heavens that this Senior pointed them out." The other ancient gods realized the truth and looked at Qi Yuan, "Senior, you are not acting under the orders of some Venerable, right? To capture those traitors?"

"No."

"Senior, how did you find out that they were traitors?"

"I didn’t." Qi Yuan blinked, "I was just telling their fortunes."

While it was true that he had noticed something was off with these people, he didn’t know what it was exactly.

His eyes could see hidden information, but it didn’t mean that he was omnipotent or omniscient.

"Fortune-telling?" Yan Xi found this a bit too incredible.

However, Qi Yuan’s eyes did not seem like he was lying to them.

And there was no need to lie in this matter.

"Your fortune-telling... it’s a bit too powerful." The twin sister examined Qi Yuan, trying to see through to his inner thoughts.

"Just a coincidence?"

"They probably thought like us, assuming that he is arranged by some Venerable, and got scared off.

Otherwise, with the True Gods by his side, Old Serpent could have easily ambushed us, and we would have all perished!" The ancient gods present felt a chill down their spines.

It was a fortunate coincidence that they managed to scare off their adversaries.

"Regardless, you have saved our lives and I thank you for this!" One of the True Gods bowed deeply.

"Fellow cultivator, you have saved my life, a favor greater than the heavens. If you need anything from me, please do not hesitate to ask!"
