The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 1258: The end of the song, Xiao Yan died (last night's update)
Outside the Ancient Saint Mountains, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the Shuttle Boat and easily subdued several Soul Clan masters who were targeting Xiao Yan.

"Old fellow from the ancient clan, you..."

Hun Ya of the Soul Clan wanted to say more, but when this man waved his hand, he fell to the deck with an unwilling look on his face.

"Who are you? The one from the ancestral temple?"

Gu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army of the Ancient Clan, looked puzzledly at the old man in front of him who was obviously an elder of the Ancient Clan. He looked very unfamiliar. He was not one of the Dou Zun elders in the Council of Elders, but seemed to be an elder who had a low presence and was guarding the ancestral hall.

The ancestral hall of the ancient clan is a confidential place, where tablets of the ancient clan’s ancestors and inherited treasures are enshrined. Even Gu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the Black Annihilation Army, has only been there a few times. Every time he goes there, he follows the elders in kowtow and worships devoutly. He only has some impression of this elder.

"I am Guyang."

The old man spoke calmly and nodded to Gu Zhen and other members of the Black Annihilation Army. Then he waved his hand and helped up Xiao Yan, who had fallen to the ground and was covered in blood. He flicked his fingers and gentle energy gushed out from his sleeves, wrapping up Xiao Yan's body completely.

Bathed in these gentle energies, the bloodstains on Xiao Yan's body quickly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, all external injuries disappeared.

"Thank you, elder."

Xiao Yan was frightened by the assassination just now and had many wounds on his body. At this moment, he was healed by this soft light and felt indescribably comfortable.

He was not a person who was ignorant of the current situation. He knew that this matter was not the fault of the ancient clan, so he politely thanked the strange elder of the ancient clan.

Elder Guyang nodded kindly, his eyes slowly swept over Xiao Yan, and after a moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "I didn't expect that the Xiao clan could produce such a person. If Xiao Xuan knew about this, he would be very pleased... Child, does your Xiao family have any inheritance..."

Gu Yang's palm gently grasped Xiao Yan's wrist, and a gentle force was transmitted to him. Xiao Yan only felt warm all over and very comfortable. His consciousness was a little hazy, and he had the urge to tell the truth unconsciously when Gu Yang asked him something, and he himself did not realize anything.

In the distant Ancient Saint Mountains, the climax of Xu Xin’s song “Ambush from All Sides” was about to pass, and it was approaching the moment when the song would end.

Not far away from him, Gu Yuan, who was staring at the sky, noticed something was wrong. He frowned and murmured, "Elder Gu Yang should be on duty at the ancestral temple. Why did he suddenly come out? I haven't heard that he has any friendship with the people of the Xiao clan..."

"Nothing at all! What a pity!"

On the shuttle boat, Gu Yang suddenly said something inexplicable. Yao Chen next to him felt something was wrong. He wanted to step forward but it was too late. An extremely brilliant light exploded on the shuttle boat, and bursts of high-temperature fireworks swept across the world, shaking the sky of the ancient world.

"what happened?"

Gu Yuan rushed into the sky just before the energy exploded, but Gu Yang's action was too abrupt and too fast, and he stepped exactly on the node where Xu Xin's song was scattered.

The song ended, Xu Xin stopped playing the piano, but the entire ancient world was in chaos because of the sudden change.

"Elder Guyang plotted against the elders of the clan hall and stole the ancient jade."

From deep within the Ancient Saint Mountains, a streak of light suddenly shot up into the sky. This somewhat disheveled figure quickly flew out, and a shrill shout resounded throughout the mountains.

"what?"

This shout alarmed all the masters in the Ancient Saint Mountain Range. The space was distorted and countless ancient clans’ fighting saints burst out with power. All those who heard the news had disbelief in their eyes.

"Elder Guyang? Why are you doing this..."

Gu Yuan had already rushed to the shuttle boat. He questioned the Elder Gu Yang, who was bursting with power crazily, through the out-of-control space barrier. He never dreamed that the man in front of him would do such a thing to him.

The second elder of the ancient clan’s ancestral hall, Gu Yang, is a five-star late-stage Douluo. His strength is also top-notch in the ancient clan, second only to several high-level Douluo and those six-star Douluo. He is almost in the top 20. He has guarded the ancestral hall for hundreds of years and is loyal to our ancient clan.

Gu Yuan never dreamed that he would suddenly plot against the clan elders to steal the ancient jade, and attack Xiao Yan in public, and now it seems that he wants to tear the ancient world apart and escape.

Gu Yuan couldn't figure out how these things were connected.

Facing Gu Yuan's questioning, Gu Yang just burst out with all his strength without saying a word. The surging power shattered the space, and the barrier of the ancient world was broken.

"You are not an ancient sheep!"

Suddenly, Gu Yuan seemed to have discovered something and instantly burst out with even more terrifying power.

The sky suddenly became much darker at this moment, and the vast energy of heaven and earth roared behind him, connecting heaven and earth. From afar, it looked like an energy tide with no end in sight, and the sound of the waves continued.

This is an energy tide that will only take shape when there are strange phenomena in heaven and earth. Such a grand scene is beyond the reach of human power.

But now, the energy tide that is rarely seen in a century was created by Gu Yuan's random thought in his rage. The peak of the Nine-Star Fighting Saint and the half-emperor strength of the emperor realm soul were fully displayed at this moment.

An endless tide of energy surged and moved, and the pervasive pressure caused countless people in the ancient world to change their expressions.

At this moment, Gu Yuan was invincible, unless another nine-star Douluo appeared to block his way. Otherwise, even a seven-star or eight-star Douluo would be killed by him within a few rounds. Their bodies and even their souls would collapse into nothingness under that terrible pressure.

"Hey, Gu Yuan, you're late. I'm no longer Gu Yang."

The scolded Gu Yang suddenly laughed strangely with disheveled hair. A pair of cold eyes were revealed in the gaps of his hair that fell in front of his face. These eyes were completely different from the kind ones before.

Countless people in the ancient world couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard this voice. This Elder Gu Yang was a high-ranking member of the ancient clan. If he was lying, wouldn't it mean that all the secrets of the ancient clan had been spied on by the enemy without reservation for so many years?

"The soul of the ancient sheep was forcibly merged with me a hundred years ago. Over the years, I have lived in seclusion and dared not show up in front of you. But fortunately, this opportunity has finally come."

The ancient sheep monster laughed, and brilliant strands of fighting spirit emerged. He was trying to open a passage.

"What a pity! The Xiao family's ancient jade is not in the possession of this young man. We can only snatch back one piece of ancient jade..."

Gu Yang's regretful voice echoed between heaven and earth. Gu Yuan, with a sullen face, said angrily, "Don't even think about it!"

"I've already said it, it's too late..."

This was Gu Yang's last voice. As he self-exploded, a terrible void storm swept away everything he had and disappeared into the ancient world. This scene was unexpected by no one. Who could have thought that he would be so cruel as to self-explode.

In fact, by the time Gu Yuan reacted and flew up, Gu Yang had already started to self-destruct. Everything could not be stopped at that moment, so Gu Yang said that he was late.

From the Soul Clan's attack on Xiao Yan to Gu Yang's self-destruction, the incident lasted only a short time from its beginning to its end, so short that Gu Xun'er couldn't even see Xiao Yan for the last time, and so short that Gu Yuan didn't have time to stop it.
