Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 403 Going All Out Might Offer a Chance of Survival

The entire Yuntian Kingdom was wiped out by Gu Ming with a single palm strike.

The area of ​​Yuntian Kingdom was much larger than that of Zhao Kingdom.

The ancestor of the mountain, carrying the vast Zhao state on his back, was a beast that could support the heavens, wild, powerful, and beyond everyone's imagination.

But when he saw the handprint deeply imprinted on the Southern Star, he couldn't help but shrink back.

The enormous handprint contains unimaginable power, making one feel as if they are looking up at a towering mountain.

At this moment, the old patriarch couldn't help but shrink his head, and the cowardly turtle materialized before everyone.

Immediately afterward, under everyone's gaze, the once arrogant and domineering Old Ancestor revealed a fawning smile, lowered his proud head, and stopped making the move that could have devoured people at any moment.

This subtly created room for the opposing sides to ease tensions and make the atmosphere less tense.

"Haha, my lord, this little turtle has been sealed for countless years and has just come out. I am a little out of my mind for the time being. Please forgive me."

Everyone was astonished, for their cultivation levels were worlds apart from those of the Old Ancestor, and they could not see the scenery that the Old Ancestor could see.

This is what is meant by "the cicada is unaware of spring and autumn," how could ants possibly know things beyond their level?

They knew nothing about what had happened to the royal family of the Southern Region, but that did not stop them from boldly believing in Gu Ming's power once again.

It was only because their ancestor had been arrogant at first and then obsequious that he would not have acted this way unless something earth-shattering had happened.

Gu Ming also smiled; this powerful patriarch was quite interesting.

"Don't worry, I'm very magnanimous, how could I make things difficult for you? The good fortune I promised you before still stands."

Gu Ming spoke cheerfully, but his powerful ancestor cursed him inwardly.

Before he was sealed away, he was threatened to become someone else's mount and protector. Now that he has finally made it through, he still has to become someone else's mount and protector. Hasn't all his suffering over the years been for nothing?!
However, facing the unfathomable Gu Ming, he dared not reveal anything, and simply nodded repeatedly in agreement.

However, strange light flickered in those tortoise eyes, and primal power was constantly gathering within its body.

He's been tricked so badly and imprisoned for so long, no one can hold him back anymore. He wants freedom!
Suddenly, those eyes, as large as mountains, widened in shock as they looked behind Gu Ming. "Look, what's that!"

Everyone was startled and couldn't help but turn around to look; it was a biological instinct.

Boom!

As everyone turned around, a deafening roar resounded as the Old Ancestor opened his massive mouth and uttered a spell.

In the midst of the thunderous roar, countless stars flashed and coalesced into a massive teleportation array, and then the old ancestor's eyes revealed a hint of madness.

He wanted to show Gu Ming that some turtles can't be kept in captivity!

The old ancestor opened his mouth and spat out a stream of blood like a waterfall, staining the entire teleportation array crimson.

Then, amidst a dazzling display of starlight, the Old Ancestor suddenly unleashed his ultimate speed, piercing into the formation and disappearing from sight.

"Hahahaha, so what if you're powerful? I'll just not fight you. Humph, when it comes to escaping, I'm also an expert."

With a wild laugh, the old patriarch reappeared in a certain space, accompanied by the flashing of the blood-red teleportation array.

What puzzled the old ancestor was that the place was all muddy, could it be that he had burrowed underground?

The old ancestor tried to think about it, but to no avail. He quickly accepted the situation. So what if he burrowed underground? At worst, he could dig a tunnel out with his own hands.

Then, it used all its strength to dig at the surrounding soil, full of energy to carve out a path to freedom.

······
"Dad, you put that turtle into a small patch of soil."

Fang Yu was astonished to hear this. That was a giant tortoise that could support the sky, but in her father's hands, it was just a handful of soil taken from the mountain and put into a small square of soil.

Moreover, that piece of land is now being held in a wooden box by Meng Hao. To exaggerate a bit, it's as if he's using his Qi Condensation cultivation to support the entire Zhao Kingdom.

It was like a mustard seed containing Mount Sumeru, or a mayfly swallowing the blue sky—it was utterly inconceivable. Moreover, the old patriarch who had the backing was completely oblivious, lost in his own world, thinking he had escaped to safety.

Fang Yu even felt that even her family's ancestor might not be as good as her father at this moment.

No wonder his father was so confident in saying that the time was ripe and there was no need to worry about his younger brother Meng Hao's seven-year-old tribulation.

"Yes, that's right. That little turtle is too noisy. Your mother is still at home worrying about Hao'er, so going home is the most important thing."

Gu Ming said casually, and soon, with one step, Dong Sheng Star, the place where the Fang family was located, was right in front of him.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Meng Hao felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Fang Yu, standing beside him, also wore a complicated expression.

After Meng Hao's second tribulation at the age of seven, Gu Ming and Meng Li went to Nantianxing. Fang Yu was unwilling to stay alone in the Fang family, so she went to the Fang family branch in Nantianxing. Now that she has returned to her old home, her heart is inevitably filled with ripples.

I just can't tell whether it's joy or sorrow.

"Hmm, interesting. It seems someone doesn't want us to go back."

Gu Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "I see a light screen flashing before my eyes, covering the entire land. It's a kind of restriction, repelling outsiders."

The Fang family had performed great deeds, so the entire Dongsheng Star was their territory. Outsiders could only enter with a travel permit and an identity jade token.

If an unidentified person tries to force their way in, it will only trigger the restriction and result in their demise.

After hearing her father's words, Fang Yu closed her eyes to sense the so-called restriction, but soon opened her beautiful eyes again, burning with anger.

"It's aimed at Xiao Hao!"

Meng Hao was a little confused. How did this get to him? Could it be some kind of family feud?

However, Meng Hao, being always intelligent, remained silent and simply watched Gu Ming.

At that moment, an old man flew out, his face beaming, and said, "It's Xiufeng and Xiaoyu! Oh dear, when I heard Meng Li say that you left Nantianxing, I didn't believe it."
I can't believe it's true. How did it suddenly appear? Has the calamity befalling my poor descendant in the Fang family taken a turn for the better?
"Oh dear, if that's true, that would be wonderful news!"

The old man seemed to care about Meng Hao in every word and action, but for some reason, Meng Hao saw a hint of hypocrisy behind that sincere face.

Gu Ming sneered inwardly upon seeing this, thinking it was all just trivial nonsense. The Fang family, as the number one family on Dongsheng Star, and even one of the strongest families on the Ninth Mountain, had an extremely large and powerful faction.

Gu Ming was born into the direct line of the Fang family and was originally considered to be unparalleled in the family. His ancestor, Meng Hao's grandfather, had a cultivation level that was extremely high, and Gu Ming himself was the number one prodigy, which intimidated his peers.

However, due to Meng Hao's seven-year-old tribulation, Meng Hao's grandfather disappeared, and the direct lineage ancestor was about to undergo Nirvana, so he had to go into seclusion in order to undergo Nirvana and live again.

Gu Ming even proclaimed himself the Southern Star. This series of changes caused the direct line to gradually lose power, while the branch line rose to prominence.

As a result, the branch that gradually gained power naturally did not want to see Gu Ming return.

After all, Gu Ming originally intended to seal himself off as the Southern Star for 100,000 years. In that time, they were confident that they could completely take control of the Fang family.

But now, less than a decade later, Gu Ming has returned, which has made many of the branch families who have enjoyed power extremely unwilling and resistant.

That's why Gu Ming just said that some people don't want to see them go back.

Of course, because Gu Ming was so famous and had such a strong killing aura back then, the leaders of these branches did not dare to openly target Gu Ming, so they turned their attention to Meng Hao.

Deliberately activating the restriction to prevent Meng Hao from entering was a show of force.

"Fang Heshan, you're really going backwards as you get older. You dare to bring such childish tricks into the open?"

Gu Ming's eyes revealed a deep sense of mockery, which made Fang Heshan, the current head of the Fang family branch who was at the height of his power, look ugly.

"Hehe, Xiufeng, you've been in Nantianxing for over ten years, but your arrogance hasn't diminished at all."

Fang Heshan said with a forced smile, "I'm doing this for your own good. The Seven-Year Tribulation is incredibly mysterious. Many of my ancestors couldn't solve it back then. I'm worried that you'll be deceived."

"Look, for example, can you guarantee that the child in front of you is the same Fang Hao from back then? If someone deliberately impersonates him and tries to infiltrate our Fang family by switching the child with another, that would be bad."

"Alright then, there are four ways to enter Dongsheng Star. You can have him pass through the gate of my Fang family's residence."

In this way, the truth will be verified, and it will be seen whether they are of our family bloodline, thus silencing any dissenting voices within our family.

Fang Heshan's eyes gleamed. Gu Ming's talent was terrifying. If he continued to seal himself as the Southern Star and his cultivation stagnated, then he could still feel at ease.

But now that the other party has actually come out, he can't help but start to worry. He's worried that Gu Ming will recreate the legend of the past, become the pillar of the Fang family with unstoppable momentum, and take away his power.

Therefore, he joined forces with the Ji family, the largest family in the Ninth Mountain, and with the support of three of the six ancestors of the Fang family, to kill Gu Ming and his son in one fell swoop!

However, the Fang family has a long history and solemn family rules. In the current situation, he does not want to break ties with the other three ancestors or even the strongest ancestor, so he needs a pretext.

Meng Hao is a perfect excuse. He has already set up an invisible restriction at the East Heavenly Gate. Once Meng Hao passes through, he will be struck by the restriction and his soul will be shattered.

Given Gu Ming's past protectiveness towards his son, he would surely be enraged and kill him.

That will be the time for him to activate his backup plan, using the pretext of eliminating traitors in his family to completely strangle the direct line of his family in one fell swoop!
However, to Fang Heshan's surprise, Gu Ming did not say whether it was possible or not, but just looked at him calmly and said, "Are you finished? It's my turn now."

"What do you mean, 'hit you'? I'm doing this for the sake of the family," Fang Heshan said, puzzled.

As he was talking, he suddenly sensed an overwhelming killing intent. This killing intent came from every blade of grass and every tree on Dongsheng Star, from the endless dust in the universe, and from all tangible and intangible things in the world.

The killing intent was so strong that even this powerful ancient cultivator felt his liver and gallbladder tremble, and he couldn't help but want to retreat violently to find a safe place.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fang Heshan immediately activated all his cultivation, supernatural powers, and magical treasures.

Strangely, everything seemed to have stopped. No, only he was still; everything around him was still in motion.

At this moment, Gu Ming also moved, walking slowly towards him step by step. "Isn't it good to be alive? Why do you have to seek death? Didn't I kill enough people back then?"

"If that's the case, then let me wreak havoc once again."

As he spoke, Gu Ming indifferently stretched out his palm and covered Fang Heshan's head. An endless sense of oppression pressed down on him, causing Fang Heshan's soul and body to tremble with fear.

Snapped!
With a forceful pull, Gu Ming's hand caused Fang Heshan's head to split open like a watermelon, the red and white parts exploding together in a gruesome manner.

Then, Gu Ming gently pulled out a half-illusory object, which was Fang Heshan's soul, looking at Gu Ming with a terrified expression.

Fang Heshan couldn't understand why Gu Ming was so decisive. Things were different now than before. Now, the branch was much more powerful. How could Gu Ming dare to do that?

"Fang Xiufeng, what are you doing? The Fang family members are not allowed to kill each other. This is an ironclad rule of the Fang family!"

Shouts arose from all directions, coming from the branches of the Fang family. Moreover, deep within the Fang family's ancestral home on Dongsheng Star, three powerful auras were surging.

Fang Heshan exclaimed in terror, "Fang Xiufeng, have you gone mad? I am the head of a branch of the Fang family! If you dare to lay a hand on me, according to the family rules, you will suffer the consequences..."

"Noisy."

Gu Ming said coldly, and then shot a flame at Fang Heshan. The flame was bright red and burned Fang Heshan's soul like a maggot clinging to his bone.

Drive it to madness and despair, until it collapses, then the flames surge and engulf it, annihilating it completely.

Then, Gu Ming looked indifferently at the waves of Fang family branch members who appeared ahead, fully armed and on high alert.

"Today should be a joyous day for my family to reunite, but you insist on opposing me and forcing me to kill. Since that's the case, I will grant your wish."

Gu Ming's words were calm, but the sharp edge they revealed made everyone tremble with fear.

In the blink of an eye, a middle-aged man appeared before the disciples of the various branches, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the headless corpse, then turned to Gu Ming with hatred:

"Ahhh, you scum of the Fang family! You killed my father because of your power! I'll kill you! Fang family members, attack! Kill this scoundrel!"

Fang Xiushan said in grief and indignation, then suddenly kowtowed behind him: "Fang Xiushan begs the Ancestor to uphold justice."

Suddenly, a mournful sigh echoed in the sky: "Xiufeng, you've gone too far. Come with me to be punished."

Three figures appeared; they were the second, fourth, and sixth ancestors of the Fang family.

Gu Ming also sighed. He clearly only wanted to reunite with his son and didn't care about the so-called power of the Fang family at all. So why did these people insist on provoking him?
Seeing the elders and younger members of the Fang family looking at him with hostile eyes, Gu Ming closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, a cold glint flashing in them.

"After all, we are blood relatives. I urge everyone to give it your all and not hold back. In this way, we may be able to fight for a sliver of hope!"
