Su Yun activated the Void Boat, which tore through space, leaving Mount Taihua Sacred Land and entering the Void.
Just as Lu Changsheng and his group disappeared, inside a dilapidated temple near Mount Taihua Sacred Land, a Taoist stared in the direction where they had departed: “That little wretch Su Yun has finally left Mount Taihua Sacred Land. This time, I absolutely won’t let her off.”
The Taoist took out a talisman and vanished from the spot.
In the Yunhe Realm, a figure returned covered in dust. Members of the Helian Family bowed respectfully: “Fourth Ancestor.”
“Inform all clan members to gather immediately.”
“Also, notify the Huangfu Family. That little wretch Su Yun is leading people to rescue the Ancestors of the Ancient Su Family. After those old fellows were trapped, both our families left no stone unturned to suppress the Su Clan. If we let those old men escape, they will definitely retaliate in madness. I trust the Huangfu Family knows what needs to be done.”
Helian Tuo mobilized the Helian Family’s forces and sent members to inform the Huangfu Family. Then, he hurriedly entered the clan’s ancestral hall and spoke to a central clay figure: “Brother, Su Yun has already set off to rescue those old fellows of the Su Clan.”
For a long time, the clay figure remained motionless.
Helian Tuo grew impatient: “Brother, say something! With the violent temperament of those old men from the Su Clan, once they find out how we’ve treated their descendants, they will surely retaliate furiously.”
The clay figure still didn’t budge.
“Helian Tuo, the founding Ancestor is cultivating an unparalleled Divine Skill. He’s at a critical juncture, only one step away from advancing to a higher realm and cannot spare his attention. With you, me, and the forces from the Huangfu Family combined, we can stop them.”
An elder walked in.
“Since the Third Ancestor has emerged from seclusion, that should be sufficient.”
Helian Tuo relaxed upon seeing the Third Ancestor.
Helian Tuo himself was no match for Lin Shiyu, but the Third Ancestor was capable of defeating Lin Shiyu.
“Let’s set off.”
In the Ancient Huangfu Clan, upon hearing that Su Yun intended to rescue the Su Clan’s Ancestors, the Huangfu Family’s Ancestor immediately gathered the clan’s members, preparing to act.
During the period when the Su Clan’s Ancestors were trapped, the Ancient Huangfu Clan hadn’t spared their young disciples, frequently bullying them.
If the Su Clan’s Ancestors learned how their juniors had been treated, the Ancient Huangfu Clan would certainly suffer a heavy toll.
“We absolutely cannot allow those old men of the Ancient Su Family to escape.”
Leading the Ancient Huangfu Clan’s group was a lively and spirited elder. Hundreds of elite members embarked, boarding the Void Boat and departing their small world.
In the Void, Lu Changsheng’s group traveled aboard the Void Boat, soaring through the emptiness.
The surroundings were deathly silent, devoid of nature’s spiritual energy.
The Void Boat’s barrier shielded Lu Changsheng’s group from harm, preventing attacks from debris or other dangers and eliminating the need for them to expend True Qi.
Otherwise, ordinary cultivators venturing into the Void would need to continuously deplete their True Qi. Since True Qi is difficult to replenish in the Void, encountering a Void Behemoth would guaranteedly turn into a nightmare.
The Void Boat compensated somewhat for these deficiencies.
“Our Su Clan’s Ancestors were exploring an Ancient Star deep within the Void but became trapped within a Great Formation. Moreover, this Ancient Star is guarded by a powerful group of indigenous creatures who attack anyone approaching the Formation.”
“Last time, I failed precisely because I was discovered by these guardians before I even reached the Formation. The team I brought was completely outmatched by them.”
Su Yun reminded the group before they arrived at their destination.
“Powerful indigenous guardians?”
The Ancestors from Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua were taken aback.
Su Yun’s cultivation level was not weak, and the experts she initially brought to rescue the Su Clan’s Ancestors were indebted to the Su Clan, meaning they were far from ordinary.
Yet such formidable cultivators had been defeated by a group of natives—it was truly incredible.
Just how strong were these guardians?
“Curious, how could an Ancient Star have both a Formation capable of trapping Great Experts and indigenous creatures with such formidable strength?”
Lu Changsheng noticed the extraordinary nature of this Ancient Star.
It must be noted that the small world where Lu Changsheng had originated could not accommodate cultivators beyond the Unity Realm. Once their cultivation surpassed Unity Realm, they would be rejected by the world’s natural forces and forced to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
According to Su Yun’s description, the indigenous guardians of this Ancient Star could overpower her and still defend the Great Formation. This indicated their strengths were close to the Immortal Realm.
This was not the typical definition of “indigenous guardians.”
Li Lingfei and Lin Shiyu, both prominent figures from ancient times, couldn’t help but feel astonished: “What is the origin of this Ancient Star?”
Su Yun shook her head: “Our Su Clan doesn’t know. The Ancestors came across its specific location through a fragmentary manuscript during their research, which prompted the exploration, leading to their eventual entrapment. Apart from its location, we know nothing more about the Ancient Star.”
The members of Guanghan Palace and Mount Taihua Sacred Land exchanged puzzled looks.
The Su Clan’s Ancestors were outright fearless—or reckless—venturing off with just a location and ultimately involving the entire clan in their peril.
If Su Yun hadn’t survived, other Sacred Lands might not have even realized the Ancient Su Family was in trouble.
Su Yun continued, “If we can either evade or defeat the indigenous guardians and approach the Formation, we’ll have a chance.”
Lu Changsheng asked, “This Great Formation, capable of trapping so many Ancestors—surely it’s not easy to undo.”
“Initially, I didn’t have the slightest confidence. However, the Ancestors trapped within spent years studying parts of the Formation’s mysteries and eventually attempted to dismantle it. Unfortunately, they discovered that trying to unravel it from within only hastens the process of refining them. The Formation requires cooperation from both inside and outside to break it successfully. That’s why I now have some confidence.”
