Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 371 The Forbidden Grounds of the Du Clan, Ruins?
Du Xingluo was furious!
He hated the country bumpkin named "Liu Sheng" in front of him.

If it weren't for him, my scheme wouldn't have failed, and perhaps I would have been able to become the head of the Du family soon.

Now all the plans have failed.

Not only did his brother-in-law die on the spot, but he himself, his wife, children and elderly parents will likely be held accountable by his family.

And the culprit is now looking at him with a smile, his eyes flashing with a strange, demonic light.

Still laughing?

I'm about to lose my family and my life, and you're still laughing?
A surge of rage rushed to his head, and the boy before him seemed to be his father's killer, making Du Xingluo hate him so much that he wanted to skin him alive, tear him to pieces.

I was so angry I gritted my teeth!

And so, only one thought remained in my mind—

Kill kill kill kill!

Kill that damn country bumpkin!
"Hey!"

Liu Sheng smiled faintly to himself, lowered his eyelids, and channeled his inner energy into his fingertips.

Once this guy gets close enough to make a move, we can defend ourselves and kill him on the spot to prevent future trouble.

And of course, there's his wife...

That wicked woman who lured him and Du Bingyan here before.

"Boom!"

Just then, a dark figure was thrown into the hall, knocking Du Xingluo away and rolling to the ground. The stench was so strong that it sent chills down everyone's spines.

Yu Hongdian landed on the ground, smashing deep, bottomless holes into the earth.

Liu Sheng stared intently, and what he saw was a human head!
His hair and beard were all white, and his skin was withered and dry, almost clinging to his bones. It was pale white and almost transparent, and you could see a layer of capillaries under his skin, which were bluish-black like a net.

His facial features were distorted, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was about to die with his eyes open.

Furthermore, a terrifying, indescribable, and overwhelming aura enveloped the entire Yuntao Hall.

It felt as if a massive mountain was hanging overhead, ready to crash down at any moment, plunging us into utter destruction.

"It's the Guo family patriarch!"

Tian Ying gasped in surprise, then realized what he had done and fell silent, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Wang Xi and Chen Aiyang also recovered, their legs feeling weak.

I felt as if I had walked through the underworld; my whole body was ice-cold, and I was filled with lingering fear.

The Guo family is probably doomed!
As ancestors of the same family, the Du family ancestor was clearly stronger. He not only killed the Guo family ancestor but also threw his head in. I wonder what happened to my own ancestor.

Never...

"Traitors should be executed."

Just then, a clear, cold voice rang in everyone's ears.

Deep and powerful, like the ocean tide.

It was the Du family patriarch!

Du Xingheng and the others had met their ancestor and, upon hearing the voice, immediately stood up. Just as they were about to pay their respects, Du Xingluo, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly froze, and then shattered like porcelain.

It was no longer human, but turned into a pool of blood, flesh, and rotten mud.

Like him was Guo, a woman huddled in the crowd, trembling and filled with anxiety.

Their methods were ruthless and merciless.

Upon seeing this, Du Xingheng and the other members of the Du family were greatly alarmed, but their expressions became even more devout, and they all bowed and agreed.
"Respect the Ancestor's command!"

Once the terrifying aura hanging overhead disappeared, they straightened up, already drenched in sweat.

"This patriarch of the Du family... has probably progressed far beyond the Profound Realm, and may even have touched that legendary realm..."

Liu Sheng slowly exhaled, his heart surging with emotion.

Earlier, the terrifying aura of the Du family patriarch had suppressed the entire area. In the darkness, he sensed a special kind of attention, as if someone was carefully scrutinizing him. Perhaps it was an illusion, but the feeling was very strong, much like the feeling he had when his projected avatar was being targeted by its natural enemy during his previous deductions.

It was far more powerful than the aura of the previous Su family patriarch.

At this moment, Du Xingheng listened intently, as if trying to hear something. After a while, he straightened up and began arranging the finishing touches.

In less than an hour, the Yuntao Hall was filled with dead and wounded.

The Guo clan members who came, from the patriarch to the ordinary guards, were all killed, turning the originally elegant and luxurious Yuntao Hall into a bloody slaughterhouse.

The remains and stains need to be cleaned, and the damaged areas need to be renovated. It will probably be unusable for a while.

In addition, now that the Wang, Chen, and Tian families have pledged their allegiance, essentially forming a blood oath, they all need to be properly settled.

Furthermore, the issues of resource sharing and profit distribution among various parties must be clearly explained to avoid future disputes.

But before that, there is one very important thing to do.

"Does the Ancestor want to see the two of us?"

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, looked at Du Xingheng who was silently nodding, and narrowed his eyes.

Even before arriving at the Du family, he had already guessed that the "Immortal Fate" was too prestigious, and meeting it was only a matter of time.

Can't escape.

So he had already prepared himself mentally.

Currently, he is two major realms below the Du family patriarch, so he cannot defeat him in a fight. Perhaps if he transforms into the Long-Armed Demon Ape, he will have a chance to escape.
However, that's a way of keeping things under wraps.
-
The Dragon-Binding Hall is a forbidden area of ​​the Du family, and it is not actually located on land.

Liu Sheng and Du Xingheng traveled by boat for more than an hour to a large island called "Snake Turtle Island".

This large island spans hundreds of miles in circumference, resembling a small continent, with mountains, rivers, dense forests, and abundant birds and beasts.

Through centuries of management and development by the Du family, all kinds of industries have sprung up, and the number of people is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

The island is home to a rare species of turtle called the snake turtle, which resembles a combination of a snake and a turtle. They live in large groups, numbering in the tens of thousands.

This snake-turtle combines the agility of a snake with the defense of a turtle. It is nimble in movement, has a hard shell, and even has fangs.

The leader of the snake-turtles was a giant turtle resembling a short mountain, with towering rocks and lush vegetation on its shell. It lay in a pool of water, with waterfalls cascading down its steep cliffs.
There were also a small circle of turtle demons surrounding the area, their auras powerful and their cultivation levels ranging from great demons to monsters. They acted like bodyguards, protecting the surroundings.

Even a cultivator at the Yellow Court Realm would likely be torn to pieces if they fell here.

"Elder Turtle, this junior is here on the orders of the Ancestor to lead people into the Dragon Binding Hall."

Du Xingheng respectfully bowed to the giant tortoise, offered several fragrant medicinal pills, and explained his purpose.

"Um……"

The giant tortoise opened its mouth to inhale the elixir, glanced at Liu Sheng and the other two, then closed its eyes again. With a flick of its tail, it stirred up a gust of demonic wind, lifted the group up, passed through the waterfall behind them, and landed in a stone cave.

"Come with me."

Du Xingheng offered up a precious pearl, which shone brightly, illuminating the path ahead.

After many twists and turns, the group seemed to have arrived at the foot of the mountain, where they finally saw a turquoise vortex of light, shaped like a gate!

Auspicious clouds and rosy rays appeared, and behind the gate, a magnificent palace seemed to stand, crystal clear, pure as ice and jade.

"remains?!"

Liu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

He and Du Bingyan had entered the Qingyuan Cave ruins before, and the atmosphere emanating from this portal of light vortexes was exactly the same as that of the Qingyuan Cave ruins.

The Du family actually possessed a historical site?
Judging from Du Bingyan's bewildered expression, she clearly didn't know this either.

"Go in, the ancestor is waiting for you inside."

Du Xingheng pointed to the portal of the light vortex, his eyes filled with envy.

Even he, the head of the Du family, hadn't been inside many times.
