Jing Yan glanced slightly and saw the figure, who seed to be a Gu Family Expert, rapidly approaching.
His complexion also instantly darkened.
As Tianshui had said, this ti, they were probably truly dood.
Jing Yan didn’t have ti to ask Tianshui for more details about the situation ahead, as Gu Wanquan had already closed in to within a kiloter. Gu Mo and Gu Xianlun, two Dao Emperor Realm experts trailing behind Gu Wanquan, also entered Jing Yan’s line of sight.
"Three Dao Emperor Realm Experts!" Jing Yan’s gaze hardened.
This ti, escape was impossible.
However, after Gu Wanquan and the others closed in, they did not imdiately make a move, which allowed Jing Yan to breathe a slight sigh of relief. Even if there was a sliver of hope for life, Jing Yan would not give up.
The trio of Gu Wanquan ford a triangle, surrounding Jing Yan with a chilling coldness in their eyes as they stared at him.
Encircled by three Dao Emperors, Jing Yan had no possibility of breaking free.
"Young man, finding you really hasn’t been easy!"
"Why did you stop running?"
"You were quite capable, weren’t you? So why have you stopped now?" Gu Wanquan’s voice was ominously cold.
During the six months to a year, Gu Wanquan had truly been driven to frustration.
"Who are you people? Why are you looking for ?" Jing Yan asked knowingly.
"Ha ha, who are we? Don’t you know? Jing Yan, you first killed my grandson Sun Gu Xinghe, and then so many mbers of the Gu Family. Did you really think you could escape from the grasp of our Gu Family?" Gu Wanquan laughed angrily in his rage.
"So you’re that old fart Gu Wanquan!" Jing Yan suddenly realized.
The conflict between the two parties had reached an irreconcilable point, and naturally, Jing Yan no longer spoke with a submissive tone.
"How bold!" Gu Wanquan let out a fierce shout. The vast Primordial Energy within his body surged out in an instant, and a strong oppressive force brutally pressed down on Jing Yan.
Even Jing Yan could not withstand the aura of a Peak Dao Emperor Realm expert.
Jing Yan felt that even the Fog Vortex in his abdon was uncontrollably trembling under this oppressive force. His Divine Soul was under pressure, too, and his complexion turned deathly pale.
"You little beast, I’m giving you one final chance now, co back with obediently. Perhaps you can still save your life," Gu Wanquan suddenly said, suppressing his aura and speaking a line.
Gu Mo and Gu Xianlun frowned slightly, looking at Gu Wanquan with puzzlent. They did not understand why Gu Wanquan didn’t just kill Jing Yan on the spot or capture him directly. Could it be that Jing Yan still had the power to counterattack?
Despite their doubts, the two did not ask any questions. Gu Wanquan was the Gu Family Ancestor, and although they were also Dao Emperor Martial Artists, they were still his juniors and did not dare to question his decision.
"Oh?" Jing Yan’s gaze flashed lightly.
"Jing Yan, you have only one chance, either co with or die here," Gu Wanquan continued to press.
Jing Yan’s thoughts swirled internally, and at this mont, he faintly guessed why Gu Wanquan wanted to take him back alive.
It was most likely due to the Qiankun Ring on his person.
The reason Gu Wanquan was so desperate to capture him was probably not just to avenge his grandson but more importantly for the Qiankun Ring.
And Gu Xinghe’s knowledge of the Qiankun Ring might also be information obtained from Gu Wanquan. However, Gu Wanquan was surely not certain that the Qiankun Ring was in Jing Yan’s possession. Especially previously, he might not have expected that the ring would be on Jing Yan. Otherwise, Gu Wanquan would probably have troubled him long ago.
Jing Yan certainly didn’t believe what Gu Wanquan said. Once he was taken back, he feared death would not even be an option. With the hatred Gu Wanquan had for him, would he really let him go?
If he handed over the Qiankun Ring, that would definitely be a dead end. Such a heaven-defying treasure like the Qiankun Ring, Gu Wanquan would definitely not want more people to know about it.
"Old fart, make your move if you dare. Killing , a young master, won’t be that simple," Jing Yan said after briefly pondering.
"You little bastard, you’re seeking death!" Finally, Gu Wanquan couldn’t hold back any longer. His figure flashed, ready to make a move.
However, it was clear that he did not intend to kill Jing Yan directly. The attack he launched was not aid at slaying Jing Yan. It was clear that he still intended to capture Jing Yan alive.
"Gu Family Ancestor, stop!"
Just then, a voice ca.
Gu Wanquan’s figure paused slightly as he turned to look.
The person speaking was none other than City Lord Hu Donghe, the Great Pill King.
"Hu Donghe, you wish to stop ?" Gu Wanquan narrowed his eyes, staring at Hu Donghe.
To be honest, even Gu Wanquan wouldn’t want to offend Hu Donghe lightly. Hu Donghe was considered the strongest Pill Master on the continent, the only ninth-grade Pill Master currently available. Offending Hu Donghe would have a great impact on the Gu Family.
However, Gu Wanquan wouldn’t let Jing Yan go just because of Hu Donghe’s face.
"Gu Family Ancestor, Jing Yan is a Guest Elder of my Pill Country and my friend. I do hope that you can let him go for my sake. As for your family’s losses, we can discuss how to compensate," Hu Donghe said, his face bearing a slight smile.
Jing Yan looked at Hu Donghe, feeling very grateful in his heart.
Hu Donghe was indeed honorable, valuing loyalty and friendship.
It would be difficult for most people to do this.
"Hu Donghe, I would also like to respect you. But this matter, I cannot agree to your request. If you insist on obstructing , don’t bla for turning on you," Gu Wanquan’s tone was extrely firm.
"Gu Mo, Gu Xianlun, if anyone dares to intervene, take action. No one is exempt!" Gu Wanquan ordered the two.
"Yes!" the two responded.
Hearing Gu Wanquan’s words, Hu Donghe shook his head, knowing that he was powerless to intervene.
Even if both he and Chang Huan took action, it would be very difficult to break through the blockade of Gu Mo and Gu Xianlun. His strength was sowhat weaker than those two, and although Chang Huan was stronger, he was far from being able to sweep through them.
Chang Huan, feeling helpless, shook his head with a wry smile at Hu Donghe.
"City Lord Hu Donghe, I will forever rember your kindness," Jing Yan said to Hu Donghe with a smile, speaking forthrightly.
"Jing Yan... sigh..." Hu Donghe let out a long sigh.
"You little bastard, surrender to now!" Gu Wanquan bellowed angrily again, making another move toward Jing Yan.
"Old fart, behold my Formation!" Jing Yan quickly took out various formations from the Suru Ring, throwing them all out in an instant.
Attack Formations and Trapping Arrays were thrown towards Gu Wanquan, and Defensive Arrays were thrown upon himself.
"Boom!" Gu Wanquan’s strength was too overwhelming; Jing Yan, in his current state, couldn’t stand a chance.
Even with the influence of formations, Jing Yan could not withstand a single blow. Amidst the radiance of a Light Halo, Jing Yan’s body was swept away, tumbling toward the distance.
