4 This Child Must Not Be Allowed to Live!

Hearing this, the two disciples looked at each other. A light flashed in their eyes and a strange smile hung on the corner of their lips.

One of the disciples smiled and said, "So, it's Senior Brother Long Yuan. The ancestor has already instructed that if you come, we must bring you to him."

A smile finally appeared on Long Yuan's face when he heard this. It seemed that his master was right. The Heavenly Mountain Gate really could help them get through the calamity.

The reason why Jiu Jian called Long Yuan to visit the ancestor was to borrow the mountain splitting ax, a divine weapon in the ancestor's hands.

Ten days ago, the ancestor of the hostile force, the Soul Hunting Sect, issued a death challenge to Jiu Jian. 50 years ago, they had sworn an oath. 50 years later, they would fight to the death.

It was obvious that the loser would not have a good ending, regardless of whether it was the sect or the individual.

Although Jiu Jian was strong, he was not a match for the ancestor of the Soul Hunting Sect ancestor. His winning rate was less than 20%.

So, he could only borrow the mountain-splitting ax. Even so, Jiu Jian could only increase his winning rate by another 20%. Although it was only 20%, he could only fight to the death.

...

Under the guidance of the guards, Long Yuan came to a blessed land with extremely rich spirit energy. Just by standing there, he could feel the boundless spirit energy surrounding him.

"As expected of the blessed land of the founder of the sect. Even the spirit energy in master's mansion is far less dense than here."

He walked to the entrance of the cave. Long Yuan cupped his hands and said loudly, "Long Yuan, the eighth generation disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, requests to see the ancestor of the Heavenly Mountain Gate Sect."

After a long time, a deep and old voice sounded. "Come in!"

Only after obtaining permission to enter, only did Long Yuan enter the cave.

Upon seeing Long Yuan, the ancestor went straight to the point and asked, "Oh? That old fellow Jiu Jian asked you to look for me? What's the matter?"

Long Yuan did not dare to hide anything and said, "Reporting to the ancestor, I came here to borrow the mountain-splitting ax."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the ancestor asked in surprise, "Did that old fellow Jiu Jian meet with some difficulties that he needed my mountain-splitting ax?"

Then, Long Yuan told the ancestor what happened in the sect.

"I see, but I've lent this mountain-splitting ax to someone else."

Upon hearing this, Long Yuan immediately panicked. It was not easy for him to find the Heavenly Mountain Gate. He had thought that he would be able to successfully borrow the mountain-splitting ax. However, he did not expect to receive such an answer.

Long Yuan, who was full of doubts, asked, "Who was it that you have lent it to?"

Before the ancestor could speak, a clamoring voice suddenly came from the cave abode. "The ancestor has lent us the mountain-splitting ax."

Long Yuan looked over when he heard the voice. When he saw the man, his pupils instantly dilated. The fury in his eyes burned uncontrollably. His fists were tightly clenched together. He looked at the man in front of him as if he had seen his father's enemy.

"Why are you here?"

"Hahaha." Li Wu laughed out loud. "Of course, my goal is the same as yours." As he spoke, he even took out the mountain-splitting ax that the ancestor had lent him to show off.

Long Yuan's heart instantly turned cold when he saw this scene. Could it be that the ancestor and the Soul Hunting Sect's ancestor had joined forces?

Li Wu was also the ancestor's disciple just like him. In addition, the two of them also inherited the grudges of the previous generation.

Ever since the two of them became disciples, they had been fighting for an unknown amount of time in the open and in the dark.

Now, the only hope of the Heavenly Sword Sect was stolen by Li Wu. How could he accept this? He turned his head and questioned the ancestor.

"Ancestor, our sect's ancestor once saved your life. Why are you still fanning the flames at this juncture?"

"How dare you! Our ancestor isn't someone you can question freely." Before the Heavenly Mountain Gate ancestor could speak, Wang Hua, the disciple beside him, scolded Long Yuan.

It was only now that Long Yuan understood the entire situation. It was obvious that the Heavenly Mountain Gate ancestor had received benefits from the Soul Hunting ancestor.

"Since that's the case, I will not stay here any longer." After saying that, Long Yuan turned around and was about to leave. However, he was stopped by Wang Hua.

"How can the sect allows you to come and go as you please?"

"Hmph!" Long Yuan snorted and said disdainfully, "Why do you need to bully the weak with your numbers?"

Wang Hua seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Hahaha, what a big joke. You need us to bully the weak with your numbers. Even if I let you use one hand, you might not be able to defeat me."

At the moment, Li Wu also added fuel to the fire.

"Brother Wang Hua, he's not worthy for you to do it yourself. Let me teach him a good lesson."

Previously, Long Yuan might still be afraid of the two of them today. However, he was no longer the same as before.

He had eaten Su Yang's chives and eggs and drank the wine made by Su Yang himself. With Long Yuan's current strength, even if Wang Hua and Li Wu joined hands, they were still not his match.

Their cultivation methods and cultivation levels were on the same level, but their weapons and magical powers were stronger than Long Yuan's.

Now, Long Yuan had already entered the golden core rank. He did not put the two, who were in the meridian condensation realm, in his eyes.

"Hmph! If you're not convinced, then attack together!"

The two of them were stunned when they heard that, and they looked at each other.

"Hahaha, since you want to die, then I'll grant you your wish."

Li Wu laughed loudly and hacked at him with the mountain-splitting ax in his hand. Wang Hua did not stay idle either. He quickly formed a seal with his palm and slapped toward the air.

Facing the joint attack of the two of them, Long Yuan did not panic at all. He easily dodged Li Wu's attack. Then, he grabbed Li Wu's shoulder and hid behind him. Coincidentally, Wang Hua's palm landed on Li Wu's chest.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Li Wu's mouth. Wang Hua did not expect that Li Wu would be so easily manipulated by Long Yuan.

Before he could react, Long Yuan was positioned in the void. A powerful force was instantly unleashed.

Wang Hua's figure was instantly sent flying dozens of meters away.

Seeing this, the ancestor took over his disciple.

At this time, Wang Hua and Li Wu looked at Long Yuan with disbelief in their eyes.

"You... You actually broke through to the golden core stage?"

Not only did the two of them were shocked, but the ancestor was too.

"This kid has actually entered the golden core stage. According to his information, he seems to have entered the third level of the golden core stage. I really didn't expect that the old man Jiu Jian would take in such a disciple. This kid absolutely cannot be kept alive."
