My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

As Gu Changyuan appeared, figures appeared one after another on both sides behind him.

Ye Qingxue, Lin Jingyu, Bai Ling'er, Yue Lingxi, Xiao Yi, Qin Yu, Fang Yuwei, Yun Tianhe, Xu Mengyao, Han Feng.

Ten patriarchs from the sacred lands of gods and men.

Tu Shan Youyao, Lu Jiuyi, Luo Qingchen, Xiang Xuanyin, Sun Buhuo, Lan Caiyou, Chihuang, Bai Zeming, Zhu Jiuyin, Ye Canglan.

The ten demon ancestors of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Twenty powerful half-immortals stood side by side, their powerful auras intertwined, sweeping across the entire Cangming Sea like a tsunami.

Such a display was truly awe-inspiring—it was the appearance of twenty patriarch-level figures from the two top powers, the Celestial Holy Land and the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Countless gazes fell upon the figure standing with his hands behind his back, filled with awe, shock, curiosity, and apprehension.

As for Jun Mukong, Jun Anshi, and Gu Xing'er, they were hiding behind the Azure Dragon phantom, obediently waiting for orders.

At this moment of showing off in front of everyone, the three of them, whose cultivation had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, were simply not good enough to participate.

Gu Xing'er hid behind the Azure Dragon's tail, peeking out half her head. Looking down at the pale-faced cultivators below, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Master, senior brothers and sisters, you're so handsome.

"just--"

A clear, cold voice broke the silence.

Tu Shan Youyao stepped forward, her pupils narrowed, and nine enormous purple tail phantoms slowly unfolded behind her, like nine sky curtains that blotted out the sun.

Her gaze fell on the giant ape man who had been shouting earlier. Her tone was calm, yet it carried a chilling undercurrent that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Is it you who wants to challenge Master?"

The arrogance on the face of the giant ape man—named Yuan Lie, an elder of the Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan—had completely vanished.

Instead, there was an undisguised panic.

He had a bad feeling.

Why did they all arrive at this particular time? And all of them at once?

Especially this one—Tu Shan You Yao.

In the Nine Heavens Realm, when it comes to the power of causality, it definitely ranks among the top in terms of the ability of disgusting people.

The principle of cause and effect is profound and mysterious.

Those who cultivate this path can see the invisible causal lines in the universe and can complete the closure or severance of an event by changing various causal lines.

It can prevent things that should happen from happening, and make things that shouldn't happen happen.

It can sever the bond between two people, or it can shift the opportunity for one person.

This same thing can also be used to change opportunities.

If Tu Shan Youyao wanted to, she could easily make herself lose the opportunity and resources, or even clash with other forces, even if she entered the secret realm this time, for any reason.

At that time, let alone eat meat, you won't even be able to drink soup.

Moreover, Tu Shan Youyao is equally terrifying in combat ability.

Back then, with the power of a seventh-level half-immortal, she withstood five demon cultivators of the same realm and even repelled them all.

With overwhelming combat power, he is undoubtedly the number one demon ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion.

Yuan Lie swallowed hard, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something—he couldn't bring himself to say anything submissive, nor did he dare to say anything defiant.

Seeing that the other party had backed down, Sun Buhuo immediately sneered.

The laughter wasn't loud, but it carried undisguised mockery, like a sharp knife piercing precisely into Yuan Lie's ear.

"Yuan Lie, you're still the same as before, a bully who only listens to the weak and fears the strong."

Sun Bu Huo tilted his head, his gaze sweeping over Yuan Lie from head to toe as if he were watching a joke:

"If you're scared, my senior sister is fine. How about I play with you for a bit? You're not too scared to do that, are you?"

As he spoke, he turned his right hand, and a long, jet-black staff appeared in his palm.

The moment Yuan Lie saw Sun Bu Huo, his expression became even more interesting.

His expression contained anger, embarrassment, and a hint of inexplicable guilt.

He opened his mouth, forcing out a smile that was more like a grimace:

"Ishikawa, we're of the same clan, why be like this—"

Fuck your own kind!

Sun Bu Huo's face instantly contorted with rage, his teeth bared out, two sharp canines standing out conspicuously, radiating a chilling aura.

"It was you who drove me out of the Giant Ape clan in the first place, especially you—"

He pointed at Yuan Lie, his eyes filled with hatred:

"Don't come here trying to curry favor with your grandpa."

"Also, my name is no longer Ishikawa, it's now Sun Buhuo."

If I ever hear that name again, I'll tear you apart right now.

Yes, Sun Buhuo was originally a member of the Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan, and his real name was Shi Chuan.

However, the giant apes of the Southern Wilderness have always been revered for their imposing physique and formidable strength.

They emphasize physical explosiveness and brute force; every disciple in the clan is burly and strong enough to lift mountains.

When Sun Bu Huo was young, he was thin and out of place with his clan, and he did not practice the orthodox strength techniques of the Giant Ape Clan.

Rather, it is a rare form of primordial magnetic force that can manipulate the magnetic energy between heaven and earth.

Such "outcasts" were ostracized by the Giant Ape Clan of the Southern Wilderness and were regarded as heretics by their own people.

He was frequently beaten, scolded, and humiliated, and in the end, he was expelled from the family by Yuan Lie and others, and from then on, he wandered from place to place and suffered all kinds of hardships.

Sun Bu Huo never forgot the humiliation he suffered in those years.

I never expected the other party to be so shameless as to dare to mention the word "same clan".

Upon hearing Sun Bu Huo's words, Yuan Lie's expression turned extremely ugly.

Seeing that he remained silent, Sun Buhuo sneered and continued to press his advantage:

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"

He glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the three peak-level half-immortal giant ape ancestors, then over the silent giant ape clansmen behind them, his voice growing louder:

"So you Southern Wilderness Giant Apes are just a bunch of cowards, bullying the weak and fearing the strong."

"Weren't you just yelling that you wanted to fight? Well then, come on!"

Sun Bu Huo's words were a direct attack on the entire Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan.

The reason he had previously refrained from retaliating against the Giant Ape Clan of the Southern Wilderness was...

It was because their master had disappeared at that time, and in order to develop their power, they had to restrain their sharpness.

But now, Master has returned, and is right beside me, with the strongest backer supporting me.

Even if he were to make a direct move, Gu Changyuan would protect him, allowing him to fight to his heart's content and comfortably.

Upon hearing this, the human cultivators around who had been suppressing their anger felt a great deal of relief.

Well said! Weren't you being quite arrogant just now?

Why aren't you saying a word now?

Does she not like to talk anymore?

Upon hearing Sun Bu Huo's harsh words, the three peak half-immortal ancestors of the Southern Wilderness Giant Ape Clan also showed anger on their faces.

Their bodies surged with a violent aura, and they stared intently at Sun Bu Huo, their hearts burning with rage.

However, when they caught a glimpse of Gu Changyuan in the center of the Azure Dragon phantom out of the corner of their eyes, the unfathomable pressure from him weighed on their hearts like a boulder, and they ultimately dared not make any rash moves.

With Gu Changyuan around, even if they had three peak half-immortals, it wouldn't be enough. They could only dare to be angry but dare not speak out, and had to suppress their anger.
