Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Renowned Across the Continent [Three Updates]

Gu Wanquan’s old face had turned purple from frustration.

Having lived nearly two thousand years, he was now almost on the brink of madness.

"Jing Yan!!!" Gu Wanquan gritted his teeth and roared furiously.

His Gu family had been deceived!

Jing Yan had left Donglin City, obviously predicting that the people from the Gu family might take the opportunity to strike. Thus, he had prepared a large array in advance, just waiting for the Gu family to make their move against the Jing Family in Donglin City.

This was a trap.

And they, the Gu family, had truly fallen for it. If they had carefully considered it, the Gu family might have had a chance to avoid this catastrophic loss.

Was Jing Yan a fool? Obviously not!

Then, how could Jing Yan dare to leave Donglin City if he didn’t have a trump card up his sleeve?

"Damn it!!!" At this moment, Gu Wanquan wished he could immediately find Jing Yan and tear him to pieces.

He had originally hoped to obliterate the Jing Family in Donglin City to reestablish the Gu family’s prestige on the continent. But he had never expected to lose face even more thoroughly this time.

Without much thought, it was clear that since the Gu family had received the news from Donglin City, other top-notch family powers must also soon become aware of it.

Eventually, the Gu family would become their laughing stock over tea and meals. More importantly, the losses for the Gu family were extremely severe. Martial Artists from Daoist Master Realm and Dao King Realm were core strengths for any great family, including the Gu family. The loss of so many such Martial Artists this time meant the Gu family would need significant time to recover their primordial energy.

"Jin Lan, you all go now! I need to be alone," Gu Wanquan gestured for Gu Jinlan to leave.

Gu Jinlan bowed silently and retreated.

Though Gu Jinlan also felt heartache, he felt somewhat relieved. Fortunately, when Jing Yan left Donglin City, he had promptly consulted the ancestor before deciding. Otherwise, if he had given the order to attack the Jing Family on his own, leading to this outcome, his position as Clan Leader would probably be doomed.

The loss of over thirty family members from the Daoist Master and Dao King Realm sent chills down one’s spine.

At this moment, Jing Yan was within the Commandery Prince Manor in Lanqu County City.

When in Dongline City, Jing Yan had agreed to help set up several advanced arrays in both the Commandery Prince Manor and the Manager’s Mansion.

However, he had been in Lanqu County City for several days and had not started setting up the arrays yet. This was because Zhou Shang Yun also needed some time to gather all the necessary materials. While Zhou Shang Yun couldn’t find the few extremely precious materials needed for the advanced arrays, Jing Yan would provide those, but Zhou naturally had to look for the ordinary materials himself.

During these days, Jing Yan had met with Mu Yunfei and Jing Ziqi.

Now, these two young beauties were both Martial Artists of the Dao Spirit Realm. Both of their Martial Arts talents were commendable, and they had been diligently cultivating in recent years with plenty of resources, making it within Jing Yan’s expectations for them to reach the Dao Spirit Realm.

Meeting Jing Yan, of course, filled them with joy, and they chattered endlessly. Even with the robust Divine Soul of a Dao Emperor Realm powerhouse, Jing Yan felt slightly dizzy and overwhelmed for a moment.

Taking advantage of this meeting, Jing Yan provided Jing Ziqi and Mu Yunfei with many precious resources, mainly elixirs. These resources were enough for the two women to easily advance to the Daoist Master Realm or even step into the Dao King Realm.

During his time in Lanqu County City, old acquaintances had also heard the news and came to visit Jing Yan, such as the current president of the Alchemist Association, Liu Wen, and others like Peak Master Zhao Qi, who had good relations with Jing Yan at the academy.

Seeing these old friends after many years delighted Jing Yan.

However, Jing Yan did not directly give resources to these people but helped refine elixirs for them. As long as they provided the materials, Jing Yan would refine the required elixirs for them.

After all, Jing Yan was expected to stay in Lanqu County City for about a month, which gave him ample time to help these familiar faces as necessary.

As for those he did not get along with, even though they wanted to visit Jing Yan in their hearts, most were too embarrassed to do so. A few who were thick-skinned enough to try to see Jing Yan were directly rejected by him.

For those people, Jing Yan had no desire to waste his time.

Meanwhile, the news of the fall of dozens of the Gu family’s powerhouses in Donglin City was slowly spreading across the continent.

Initially, many people did not believe it, but after some verification, the news was confirmed.

Several great families also specially convened high-level family meetings to discuss this matter.

In their view, the Gu family was now in big trouble.

During this time, the losses of the Gu family had been extremely heavy. Two potential Clan Leaders were dead, a Supreme Elder of the Dao Emperor Realm was slain, and most recently, more than thirty Martial Artists from the Daoist Master and Dao King Realm had collectively perished in Donglin City.

The enmity between the Gu family and Jing Yan would obviously not end because of this. The war between Jing Yan and the Gu family was probably just in its initial stage.

Either the Gu family would be annihilated, or they would have to kill Jing Yan; otherwise, this war would probably be hard to conclude.

It was obviously difficult for the Gu family to kill Jing Yan right now. If it were easy, the Gu family would not be maintaining their silence like now.

The other families, naturally, had no intention of helping the Gu family; they preferred to watch the excitement unfold.

If Jing Yan really managed to utterly defeat the Gu family, it could be a good thing for the other families. Of course, they would not aid Jing Yan against the Gu family. Despite heavy losses, the heritage of a family that had lasted for thousands of years was very clear to these strongest families as well.

The likelihood of Jing Yan annihilating the Gu family was even lower.

It was said that Jing Yan was very powerful, making it difficult for the Gu people to chase and kill him. But if Jing Yan dared to stir trouble at the Gu family’s main base, that would likely be a dead end for him.

Gu family’s stronghold, Flowing Light City, was known as one of the most dangerous places on the continent to outsiders.

The various array formations and restrictions in Flowing Light City had been accumulated over thousands of years, and it was hard to tell how many there were. Even if Jing Yan was a High-level Array Master, once he fell into those numerous chain arrays, he could only bitterly regret.

Of course, Jing Yan would definitely not foolishly barge directly into the Gu family’s stronghold in Flowing Light City. At least not now.

Holy City, Holy Palace!

Upon receiving this news, the Holy Master was stunned for a good while.

"This Jing Yan, quietly becoming a high-level array master! The Gu family has really taken a big tumble this time. Old Gu Wanquan must be going mad!" Chang Huan chuckled.

The Holy Master narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

But deep inside, he silently pondered, "The Qiankun Ring, is it really that powerful?"
