Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 159 Treasure House

Meeting hall.

Guan Xiong was leading several of his men and busy issuing combat orders to the outside.

Guan Xiong sat in his seat, looking depressed and his heart bleeding.

The palace protection formation did show great power at the beginning and curbed the opponent's attack. However, when the opponent invited a master of breaking the formation, the defense formations in his own palace were broken one after another.

The first Cangshui formation was broken, and the third brother who was in charge of the formation died in battle!

This was like cutting a piece of flesh out of his clan leader's heart. His third brother was an old brother who had followed him for hundreds of years and was born to the same father and mother, but he had his head blown up and his soul was taken out. He died miserably from the Yuan Fire Refining Soul. How could Guan Xiong not be heartbroken?
"Is this the retribution for our Guan family?"

Thinking of what his family had done in the past, Guan Xiong's face turned pale and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

In the following time, bad news came almost every few minutes.

"The second 'Two Extremes Formation' was breached! Law Enforcement Hall Master Guan Yi and 18 Law Enforcement Hall deacons were all killed!"

"The third 'Four-Metal Alloy Steel Array' was breached! The captain of the Royal Guard, Guan Ming, and twenty Royal Guard members were all killed in the battle!"

"The fourth 'Flame Wild Formation' has been breached! Gale Hall Master Guan Quan and ten Gale Hall disciples have all perished!"

"The fifth 'Falling Gold Life and Death Formation' was breached! My second brother and sixteen clansmen died!"

……

With the assistance of the formation master, the coalition forces of the Yi family and other small families advanced rapidly and unstoppable. One large formation after another was broken. The news of the death of members of the Guan family came one after another. In just half an hour, almost half of the family members were killed in the battle!

Guan Xiong knew that the end of his family was approaching, so he took out a sword shining with white light from his ring, ready to go out and fight to the death with those families. All his family members had died in the battle, and today, as the head of the Guan family, he would also perish together with his family!

"But Xiaoyi..." Guan Xiong shifted his gaze to his own little room. She was still sitting there in a daze, as if the fighting and killing outside did not bother her at all.

Looking at Mu Fanglan again, she was holding the communication jade talisman with a calm expression, as if this jade talisman was the most important to her. However, the jade talisman had not moved at all, and it was obvious that the person she was waiting for had not appeared yet.

As for the third lady, her face was pale and there was fear in her eyes. When she heard the sounds of fighting outside, her body trembled.

Guan Xiong coughed and was about to ask his brothers Lei Hu and Lei Long to take their three wives and escape together.

But at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall, and after a while, a big red-faced man hurriedly walked in from outside.

Guan Xiong looked up and saw that the red-faced man was none other than the head of Qingfeng Hall, Guan Zhen, one of his cousins.

"Guan Zhen? What's the matter?" Guan Xiong asked.

The energy in his body began to circulate silently, and he couldn't help but doubt in his heart, is this Guan really the leader of Qingfeng Hall? Why did he come here instead of going to the front to guard the formation?
"Brother, there's a young man outside, saying he wants to see Mrs. Mu!" Guan Zhen said to Guan Xiong.

"Looking for me?" Mrs. Mu's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and her beautiful face showed surprise.

It must be Ye Xuan who has come, but the entire Fuyu Island has been isolated by a large formation, and there are so many powerful enemies outside, how did he get in?
Mu Fanglan was puzzled, but she quickly stood up from her seat and walked quickly towards the door.

"Wait a minute!" Guan Xiong felt something was wrong.

But just as he finished his words, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in Guan Zhen's eyes. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the left arm of Mrs. Mu who was approaching like lightning, and pulled her forward suddenly, catching Mrs. Mu off guard.

She was startled and instinctively punched Guan Zhen.

Guan Zhen was stunned, looking at the colorful rays of light flashing on the tender white fists of Mrs. Mu, and her cultivation level of the second level of Qi Condensation Realm was revealed!

"How can this be!?"

Not only Guan Zhen, but also Guan Xiong, the second wife, the young fourth concubine, the Lei brothers, and everyone in the hall were shocked at this moment.

You know, Mu Fanglan is obviously a mortal body without awakened martial soul, but she actually has the aura of martial arts at this time. At this moment, everyone saw a mysterious tree martial soul of a colorful tree appear behind Mu Fanglan!
This was even more shocking than the brutal fighting outside. It was like a bolt from the blue that struck everyone's heart.

Mu Fanglan has actually awakened her martial soul. How did she do it? This is totally unreasonable!

As the people of the Tianwu Continent grow older, the souls of those who have not awakened their martial souls will become more and more aged, and as a result, the unawakened martial souls remaining in their bodies will quickly die. If they still cannot activate their martial souls when they reach the age of twenty, then their martial souls will completely die in their bodies!

But Mu Fanglan is already over twenty years old. When did she activate her martial spirit? This is simply an act against the will of heaven!
Everyone's heart was filled with shock and the Third Lady looked as if she had seen a ghost.

Although Guan Zhen was also shocked by the martial spirit and martial arts displayed by Mu Fanglan, he must have the cultivation base of the Great Perfection of True Essence Realm. Facing the attack of Mu Fanglan, who was only at the second level of Condensation Qi Realm, he easily deflected it with a wave of his arm. Then a powerful restraining force burst out from Guan Zhen and poured into Mrs. Mu's body, completely suppressing her cultivation base. Mrs. Mu wanted to resist, but a huge dark withered hand suddenly grabbed her snow-white throat.

"Don't move, Madam Mu, you really gave me a big surprise! But I don't want you to perish in my hands!"

Guan Zhen's cold voice reached Mrs. Mu's ears, and she realized that she had fallen into this man's trap.

"Guan Zhen! What do you want to do? Let her go! Do you want to sentence our entire clan?" Guan Xiong was extremely shocked and angry. The unexpected change just now happened so fast that he didn't even have time to take action.

A powerful martial arts aura of the early True Spirit Realm burst out from Guan Xiong.

“Guan Xiong, don’t show off your cultivation. In the past few years, you have been indulging in pleasure and not making progress. Your cultivation has not improved at all! And I…” Guan Zhen said, and suddenly his aura increased sharply, reaching the aura of the first level of the True Spirit Realm.

It turns out that he has been hiding his cultivation level!

“Hehe, you are no match for me in ten moves. As for the others, don’t move, otherwise, this beautiful lady will die.” Guan Zhen grabbed Madam Mu’s snow-white neck with his withered hands, glanced coldly at the people around him, and said.

When Guan Xiong heard his words, anger appeared in his eyes, but his aura declined and his eyes were bloodshot.

The two brothers, Lei Hu and Lei Long, looked at each other and frowned.

"Guan Zhen, when did you join the Yi family?" Guan Xiong took a deep breath, sat down decadently on the chair of the head of the family, and said to Guan Zhen, "I admit that I was careless, but the matter here has nothing to do with a few women. I think you caught her to blackmail me. So, you let her go and let me replace her?"

Mrs. Mu had a bitter look on her face and wanted to speak, but she was restrained and unable to say anything.

"Guan Xiong, I have not betrayed my family, nor have I surrendered to the Yi family. It's just that my family is finished now, and I just want the key to the family treasure house. As long as you hand over the key, I will release the first lady immediately!" Guan Zhen licked his lips and said with a grin, a hint of greed in his eyes.

"The key to the treasure house? What treasure house?" A trace of panic appeared on Guan Xiong's face.

"Hmph, Guan Xiong, you don't have to pretend. I already know that you and your son have built a treasure house. It contains your father's life's work. As long as you get that treasure house, it is not impossible to break through to the Martial King Realm. Hand over the key obediently, otherwise, your woman will die!"

As soon as Guan Zhen said this, Guan Xiong's expression changed immediately, and even Lei Hu and Lei Long's eyes flashed with a hint of subtle surprise.

Guan Changhe has refined countless weapons throughout his life and his wealth is unimaginable. The treasure house contains all the treasures he has collected throughout his life. What an amazing resource it must be!

Guan Xiong's expression changed several times. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out a golden array disk from his ring. He said to Guan Zhen, "This is the key to the treasure house. However, you must promise to release her immediately after getting the key."

Suddenly, almost everyone in the hall focused their attention on the golden array. Who would have thought that Guan Xiong would abandon the treasure house of amazing wealth for Mu Fanglan!
But think about it, Mu Fanglan's family is a top family in Dajin. With the background of the Mu family, Mu Fanglan is still worth a lot of money. And now the Guan family is finished, Xuanwu country is in chaos, Guan Xiong followed Mu Fanglan back to Dajin, and it was also a good choice to join the Mu family.

Looking at the array, the greed on Guan Zhen's face became even more intense. "Guan Xiong, don't worry. I, Guan Zhen, keep my word. As long as you hand over the key, I will return Mu Fanglan to you immediately."

As soon as Guan Zhen finished speaking, an old man's voice came from outside the door, "Guan Zhen, you are indeed a sinister and cunning person. In fact, Brother Changhe has long discovered your ill intentions and wanted to arrest you in the next few days. Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on us... You should release Madam Mu quickly, otherwise you will die without a burial place today!"
