Chapter 548: Xiao Ming Takes Action

"Xun'er, lead the Black Submerged Army to search the mountains. Gu Yang has definitely not managed to escape. Capture him and snatch the ancient jade back!"

Gu Dao in the sky had a grave expression as he shouted sternly, "All remaining elders, set up the great formation to guard the clan. Seal off the Gu Realm and the mountain range. Do not allow the Hun Clan any chance to exploit!"

Upon hearing Gu Dao's stern command, the numerous elders in mid-air immediately responded, and a protective energy barrier rose into the sky.

The ongoing battles in the sky were merely tentative probes. They still needed to guard against the covert tactics of the Hun Clan. Hence, they were unable to split too much attention in lending a hand.

"Black Submerged Army, search the mountain!" Xun'er, with a completely grave expression, directed her pretty eyes towards Gu Qing Yang's group and commanded.

"Understood!"

Upon receiving the order, Gu Qing Yang and the higher-ups of the Black Submerged Army instantly complied. In an instant, black figures surged forward like locusts and rushed into the mountains to begin an inch-by-inch search!

As the Black Submerged Army was busy with their search, everyone's focus returned to the battle unfolding in the sky.

The fight between Hun Tiandi and Gu Yuan was evenly matched, but the battle between Nihility Devouring Flame and Lei Ying, along with Yan Jin, appeared somewhat precarious.

Yan Jin and Lei Ying were being pushed back by the Nihility Devouring Flame, but soon the tide began to turn.

A robust figure suddenly emerged through the void and entered the fray with a punch, unleashing an immense aura as if mountains were crashing down.

"Hehe, Black Submerged King Gu Lie! Since you've come to seek death, don't blame me!"

Nihility Devouring Flame sneered as he effortlessly blocked Gu Lie's attack, clearly not taking him seriously at all.

"Hmph! If you want our lives, it depends on whether you have the ability!" Gu Lie, the Black Submerged King, swung his cloak and spoke with a deep voice, then soared into the air to engage in a fierce battle with the Nihility Devouring Flame.

With Gu Lie joining the fray, the trio of Yan Jin, Lei Ying, and him managed to hold their own against Nihility Devouring Flame, who wasn't exerting his full power.

However, the people of the Gu Clan were aware that this was only a temporary respite. The situation would undoubtedly change once Gu Yang was found.

On the other side, after employing various methods, the Gu Xun'er and the Black Submerged Army finally located Gu Yang hiding beneath the ground of a mountain.

More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Black Submerged Army slammed their palms onto the ground, causing the towering mountain to explode. Hot magma erupted, and a figure was somewhat embarrassingly ejected from it.

"Gu Yang!"

The expressions of Xun'er and the rest quickly became cold as they looked at the figure hiding in the magma!

"Black Submerged Army, capture him!"

Xun'er's cold cry sounded almost immediately after the figure shot out from within the mountain.

"Spirit Restraining Net!"

Following her command, numerous figures flew across the sky, shouting in unison. An orderly roar sounded while powerful Dou Qi swiftly formed into a huge Dou Qi net in the sky. Finally, it came pressing over that figure from all directions. The huge net contained a special fluctuation. If one was caught within the web, one would fall into the relentless assault of numerous Black Submerged Army warriors. Escaping from it would be extremely difficult.

"Explode!"

That figure did not appear to panic in the face of the huge energy net. His hands formed some seals and dozens of ferocious wind shot out. The wind continuously shot towards the various parts of the net.

Subsequently, amidst the howling winds, he managed to shatter the net. After which, he hurriedly lifted his head and looked at the distant sky, and with his body moving at its fastest, he darted towards it.

"It's pointless. He is extremely familiar with the Black Submerged Army's Spirit Restraining Net. His attack completely targeted the weak spots on the net!"

Gu Xun'er's expression darkened upon seeing the Dou Qi net, formed by the collective Dou Qi of many Black Submerged Army warriors, being torn apart with such ease.

"Hmph, Gu Yang, you traitor!"

The trio of Gu Dao and the others discovered Gu Yang as he rushed towards the sky. Their expressions quickly turned cold. However, they were just about to attack when three of the Four Demon Saints appeared in front of them in a ghost-like manner.

The last one among them formed a hand seal, and a thousand-meter large black light spluttered out from his palm and violently smashed onto the defensive light barrier. The terrifying force directly tore a crack in the defense barrier.

"Don't let him escape!"

In the chaotic sky, urgency prevailed. Several elders from the rear reluctantly left their position on the formation to pursue Gu Yang.

That figure in the sky was hurrying towards the crack line torn open by one of the Four Demon Saints, Hun Yan. However, he was still a few hundred meters from the crack line when a couple of sharp winds suddenly appeared from behind him. They aimed ruthlessly at his vital points. In that critical moment, Gu Yang had no choice but to halt and wave his sleeve to disperse the gusts. However, this brief pause allowed the swiftly approaching elders to encircle him.

"Gu Yang, why have you done such a rebellious act?"

"Hee hee, do you still think I am the real Gu Yang?"

The disheveled old man let out a strange laugh in response to the elder's question. The gap between the hair that was hung in front of his face revealed a pair of densely cold eyes. These eyes were completely different from the friendliness of the past.

The elders, who had known Gu Yang for many years, felt their hearts sink as their pupils contracted.

This Gu Yang was indeed an elder of the Gu Clan. But if he was an imposter, would it not mean that all the secrets of the Gu Clan had been passed on to the Hun Clan over all these years?

"Gu Yang's soul was forcibly merged with mine by Lord Nihility a hundred years ago. I have lived in isolation ever since, not daring to show myself in front of Gu Yuan and the others. But now, the day has finally come!

Gu Yang laughed strangely. His body pulled backwards after his voice sounded. At the same time, many bright Dou Qi pillars shot out from the palms of the elders. They crossed each other and ruthlessly struck towards him.

"Do you really intend to hold me back just by relying on you, a bunch of one-star and two-star Dou Saints?"

Gu Yang burst into laughter. He pressed his palm downwards and the space below him instantly distorted, forming a solid barrier that blocked the many Dou Qi pillars.

"Hee hee, I shall take my leave first!"

Gu Yang once again laughed after blocking the attacks of the Gu Clan elders. He turned around and left. However, just as he turned, the space above him suddenly burst apart, and a hand as white as jade emerged from the void, reaching out to grab him. The destructive power within the palm wind was beyond even what Yan Jin, an eight-star Dou Saint, could match.

'Xiao Ming!'

Facing such terrifying pressure, Gu Yang's face twisted in fear. Instantly, a name flashed in his mind. He had met Xiao Ming once before and recognized his aura. With the elite experts of the Gu, Lei, and Yan Clans being held back, only Xiao Ming possessed such horrifying might.

'I have to run!'

Gu Yang didn't hesitate at the sight of the white jade-like hand. His figure swiftly changed direction. He understood that with his strength, he stood no chance against Xiao Ming!

But escaping from this attack was no easy feat.

The giant hand broke through the space and reached down to grab him. But just as it was about to grab him, Gu Yang's face suddenly twisted viciously. His body began to swell rapidly.

"He's going to self-destruct!"

Witnessing this scene, the Gu Clan elders who had not given up the pursuit instantly changed their expressions. The self-destruction of an advanced five-star Dou Saint was enormously powerful. The elders immediately slowed down their pursuit in response to the impending explosion.

Boom!

In the moment their speed decreased, Gu Yang's body instantly exploded. The terrifying and violent shockwave tore through the energy defense barrier, which had some flaws due to the absence of those few elders. Amidst the rampant energy, a burst of blood-red light suddenly shot out. It crazily surged towards several battle zones in the sky!

"The ancient jade is inside. Stop him!"

Xun'er's sharp eyes caught sight of a palm-sized, crystal-clear ancient jade being wrapped within the blood light. It was surprisingly the Tuo She Ancient Emperor Jade from their Gu Clan!

That fellow had actually chosen to self-destruct in order to deliver the ancient jade!

Swoosh!

The bright light was just like a falling star as it swept through the sky with lightning-like speed, attracting the eyes of everyone present!

The white jade hand, which had missed its target due to Gu Yang's self-destruction, quickly redirected its course. In a few flashes, it appeared not far from the red light.

"Jie Jie Jie, I've waited a long time for you, Xiao Ming, but now you're finally here. However, you can't take this ancient jade back!"

As the giant hand moved to intercept the red light, the slightly chilling laughter of Nihility Devouring Flame suddenly echoed down from the sky. At the same time, the space around the red light violently distorted, and then a black giant hand also emerged from the void, colliding fiercely with the giant white hand.

Bang!

The two forces collided violently, unleashing a devastating storm that swept through the surroundings. Sensing the terrifying power of the storm, the people around had drastic changes in their expressions. They quickly retreated. afraid of being drawn into it.

Amidst the retreat of the crowd, Nihility Devouring Flame's voice did not cease.

"The ancient jade of the Gu Clan is now in my hands. Hand over the one you have as well. Jie Jie Jie... Ah! Damn you, Xiao Ming, you actually plotted against me!!!"

Nihility Devouring Flame's voice began with a tone of smug satisfaction but quickly turned to one of anger by the end.
