The Ancient Gods' Whisper

As long as the Judgement Court's errors are proven, Xiao Gu will have the chance to vindicate his father.

As for what happens afterward, he'll end his own life.

"I insist on defending myself."

He raised his eyes, his gaze deep and resolute: "Continue."

At East Sea International Airport, blue work caps were thrown about violently in the raging wind.

Gu Jianlin clutched the Desert Eagle with its smoking barrel, tossing it aside casually, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.

"Who are you? No, it's you! It's actually you!"

Director Li recognized the pitch-black flames. Clearly, he couldn't comprehend why this young man would attack him here, but the unmistakable determination to kill him was evident—otherwise, such a distinctive feature wouldn't have been exposed.

"You actually dare assassinate a superior here!"

Shock and confusion flickered in his eyes for two reasons.

First, just because that little girl was bullied, this young man had decided to kill him!

Second, despite being cursed, the boy should already be on the verge of losing control.

"Still pretending, are you?"

Behind Gu Jianlin, pale Ghost Fire ignited. Four monstrous and horrifying Ghost Hands materialized in the flames, emitting anguished roars akin to evil spirits. In their palms, pitch-black Spell markings swirled, gathering countless black particles!

Dark energy converging!

He raised a finger, and black light coalesced at its tip.

The four Ghost Hands behind him helped gather dark energy!

Black light seemed to engulf the entire airport!

Director Li had witnessed this young man's strength before, so his first instinct was to flee.

But suddenly, the ground beneath his feet turned to sand, and streams of it climbed his ankles like vines.

Imprisonment!

From afar, Scholar pressed his hands against the ground and revealed a sinister smile.

At the same time, twelve crew members rushed out from the cabin. All of them were Third Rank, with varied Inheritance Paths tailored for handling emergencies.

Scholar immediately underwent Demigod Servant Transformation, assuming a serpentine posture full of eerie grace—Mind Shock!

Bang!

The twelve individuals were caught off guard and blasted away by a massive surge of psychic force.

In this instant, the black light Gu Jianlin had gathered surged forward!

Boom!

The immense black flash exploded, engulfing Director Li's enraged expression.

His figure seemed to disappear into the darkness.

For a brief moment, Gu Jianlin's facial expression shifted, sensing something peculiar—while Director Li's Life Rhythm hadn't vanished, it had undergone a strange transformation, like a gentle melody abruptly going out of tune!

He plunged into the thick smoke, clenched his fist, and struck out!

A muffled sound echoed; his punch was solidly blocked!

"Bold. But do you truly think I couldn't beat you yesterday?"

The smoke cleared to reveal Director Li gripping his wrist, his lips curling into a sinister smile.

Gu Jianlin's pupils contracted sharply.

Director Li's finely tailored suit had been blasted apart, leaving his upper body bare. Strange, expansive totems had appeared across his skin—depictions of Child Boys and Girls. Some meditated, cultivating Immortal Energy; others knelt in worship around a Pill Furnace.

Each Child Boy and Girl displayed eerily inhuman features.

Some had grown Dragon Scales, others mutated snake-like eyes.

Some even sprouted horns!

When Director Li spoke, his tongue bore an ominous black character.

Wu!

Crack!

Gu Jianlin felt the immense force emanating from the other man's grip, as though it would crush his right fist entirely!

In pure strength, his Ancient Martial path endowed with Qi had no rival within the same rank.

Pale Ghost Fire flared violently—Priest!

Thinking victory was assured, Director Li felt his Life Force draining uncontrollably, his shock giving way to fury!

Simultaneously, the four horrifying Ghost Hands burned with pale flames and descended with a roar!

Director Li abruptly released his grip and retreated, leaping into the air. His right leg swung out like a battle axe!

A clash of sheer power; the four Ghost Hands were sent flying!

Gu Jianlin retrieved the Soul Comforting Bell, releasing waves of black light that rippled outward—shock!

Boom! Director Li landed, briefly dazed.

His combat prowess had undergone a staggering transformation compared to yesterday.

Fundamentally, he was still someone who neglected Martial Arts.

Yet through some sinister means, his raw power had inexplicably surged.

This foe would undoubtedly prove arduous!

"Penglai Ascension Array!"

Scholar snapped out of his daze and, upon noticing the totems on Director Li's body, exclaimed, "That's the Penglai Ascension Array!"

Penglai Ascension Array!

Gu Jianlin didn't know what kind of monstrous thing it was but raced to analyze it mentally.

There was no doubt: Scholar was weak, with the only advantage being his exploration deep within Qilin Immortal Palace.

Moreover, their team possessed "Xu Fu's Record"!

The record left by Xu Fu was a tome detailing the secrets of Qilin Immortal Palace.

It was likely this record contained references to such things!

Without hesitation, Gu Jianlin took advantage of the moment, advancing swiftly. The four Ghost Hands behind him gathered Negative Energy once more!

But at that moment, Director Li regained clarity and erupted with ferocity.

His target... was no longer the youth standing before him.

It was Scholar!

This move confirmed the truth of Scholar's earlier statement.

Director Li intended to kill and silence him!

Meanwhile, the twelve crew members returned to the battlefield.

Four raised sniper rifles.

Four recited incantations, channeling psychic force.
