Chapter 2599: Ice Flame Continent 57

She gradually picked up on some subtle movements, her heightened perception setting her apart from ordinary individuals. With her increased cultivation level, even the faintest sounds accurately reached her ears.

As the noises drew nearer, she sensed the approaching presence.

In the next moment, a surge of spiritual energy targeted her sleeping bed. Fortunately, she had antic.i.p.ated the attack and swiftly evaded.

Observing her adept dodge, the a.s.sailant appeared incredulous.

A Martial Emperor’s pinnacle cultivation was exceptionally rare among the younger generation. While it garnered admiration from many, those with extensive cultivation experience questioned its true significance.

Undeterred, the a.s.sailant unleashed another wave of Dao spiritual energy.

Gu Chaoyan intercepted the attack head-on, transitioning from a defensive to an offensive stance. She began unleas.h.i.+ng her own spiritual energy towards the approaching intruders. Her sudden counterattack induced panic among the a.s.sailants.

In their state of panic, they sought to conclude the matter swiftly, exacerbating their own unease.

Gu Chaoyan swiftly dealt with the lesser threats, turning her attention to the apparent leader. The leader, realizing the dire situation, attempted to flee.

Knowing when to hold and when to fold is a crucial skill.

However, Gu Chaoyan wore a satisfied smile. She was content with the turn of events today.

Initially, when she glimpsed his silhouette, he seemed to resemble the First Elder. Now, observing his actions, it confirmed her suspicions.

With his capture, everything unfolded seamlessly.

Gu Chaoyan had no intention of letting him off easily. Unleas.h.i.+ng the spiritual power of the Golden Immortal Dao Ancestor, she brought the First Elder to the ground. Shock registered on his face as he exclaimed, “You!”

“…”

“You actually?!”

“First Elder, do you truly believe I haven’t progressed after all these years? Don’t underestimate me!” Gu Chaoyan retorted with a smile.

The First Elder comprehended the situation.

Had he fallen into a carefully laid trap? Despite the pa.s.sage of many years, he still harbored a sense of arrogance.

Realizing the futility of resistance at this point, he ceased struggling. If Kang s.h.i.+ possessed such cultivation prowess, resistance would be in vain.

“You are indeed cautious, understanding that adapting to the times is wisdom. Unfortunately for you, you encountered me,” Gu Chaoyan remarked with a smile.

“Gao Zhuo, apprehend them!” she commanded.

“Yes.”

The once tranquil Anicca Race now buzzed with activity.

“It has nothing to do with Kang Yan,” the First Elder a.s.serted.

Gu Chaoyan nodded.

Soon, the scene gained attention. The Clan Leader and the clan’s Elders arrived, witnessing the spectacle. The First Elder, clad in night attire, lay injured, surrounded by others within the room.

“What’s happening here?” the Clan Leader queried.

“I was peacefully asleep when someone attacked me. I resisted, and this is the result,” Gu Chaoyan explained casually.

“First Elder! How did you know?” the Clan Leader exclaimed in disbelief.

“That’s correct. I was not pleased with Kang s.h.i.+’s cultivation reaching such heights, so I sought to a.s.sail him. Regrettably, I failed,” the First Elder confessed candidly.

“Father!” Kang Yan gazed at the unfolding scene in disbelief. What was transpiring? How could this be?

Everything was meticulously planned. How could his father fail and openly admit it?

But no!

How could he confess?

“Father, explain yourself. There must be some misunderstanding.”
