Chapter 1001: The Gu Family Ancestor Was A Perfecte

As Gu Taiyuan laughed maniacally, the ground of the plaza lit up with array patterns, and the surrounding giant pillars began to glow faintly. A middle-aged man also appeared, standing quietly beside Gu Taiyuan.

This man was none other than the head of the Gu family, Gu Daohai. Seeing the success of their plan, he was particularly excited, his hands trembling slightly as he performed a respectful bow.

"The ancestor is truly wise!"

"Although our Gu family has suffered a calamity and lost a prodigy like Qingcheng, today we will capture these experts, and the rewards will surely be substantial. This great opportunity is all thanks to the ancestor's brilliant planning!"

"Hahaha..."

The grandfather and grandson laughed heartily, their faces flushed with excitement, showing no trace of fear.

They had finally torn off their masks, revealing their true, confident selves.

In the plaza.

Lou Benwei and the dog didn't react much, nor did they pay attention to the array patterns. They watched the two men's arrogant display with curiosity, as if witnessing fools dancing.

"Brother, do you think these two have gone mad?"

"Second Brother makes a good point. I think they can't bear to part with their sister and have already had a mental breakdown."

"To dare to turn against Big Brother for the sake of a sister, and to go back on their word at such a time, their courage is truly unmatched..."

"Looking at them, there must be a beautiful sister inside!"

Lou Benwei, holding his jawbone, couldn't help but sigh.

"So this is the power of love. How enviable!"

The group of fools chattered on, showing no signs of anger or tension. They didn't seem to be in any danger at all, instead resembling spectators enjoying a show.

If an outsider were present, they wouldn't be able to tell who was trapping whom.

Their demeanor showed no respect whatsoever.

Gu Taiyuan, in high spirits, couldn't help but narrow his eyes at their calm reaction.

These experts are truly brainless and arrogant, facing death without a shred of self-awareness! I really don't know how they managed to cultivate to such a level.

This reaction was not what he wanted. He wanted panic, curses, even their futile rage! Only then could he satisfy his perverse sense of achievement and feel the joy of defeating experts.

After a few moments, Gu Taiyuan's face darkened.

"Hmph, stop pretending to be calm. No matter how powerful your cultivation is, once you step into this grand array, you are doomed to die!"

"Your deaths are not my fault. The path of immortality is a world of the strong preying on the weak. You should have been more cautious. Blame your own foolishness!"

"Today is the day you die!"

Gu Taiyuan, filled with energy, spoke with fervor, feeling a sense of triumph as if he had finally avenged his previous humiliation.

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures in the plaza burst into laughter!

"Pfft!"

"Love makes people blind!"

"Using some trash array to try and attack us, has this old man gone senile?"

"I finally understand love. For the sake of it, people don't even care about their lives. It must be as sweet and good as honey!"

"Not bad, not bad, Nai Ji has improved!"

"Ah? Thank you for the praise, Big Brother! Hehehe!"

"Hahaha..."

The laughter grew louder. The group of fools didn't take it seriously at all, chatting and joking as if they were just playing around.

Is this the demeanor of people about to die?

Gu Taiyuan had even activated the ancestral array, showing them the utmost respect. Even if they hadn't heard of it, they should have shown some reverence.

But instead, they didn't even have a basic sense of crisis. Relying on their high cultivation, they were so arrogant, completely disregarding others!

Gu Taiyuan's face darkened, his killing intent spreading!

Behind him, Gu Daohai also sneered and scolded, abandoning the dignity of a clan leader and fully revealing his petty nature.

"A bunch of ignorant fools!"

"Relying on a bit of cultivation, you look down on everything! This is the ancestral array of our Gu family, built by our ancestor himself, perfectly integrating chess and array formations. You cannot escape death!"

"I thought you were some great experts, but you're just a bunch of fools with high cultivation, coveting the treasures of our Gu family, falling into this array with just a few words."

"Without lifting a finger, it seems heaven truly favors our Gu family!"

As the despicable words echoed, the dogs suddenly fell silent.

Even Lou Benwei, who had been watching with amusement, seemed to change. His hollow skull turned to look, appearing somewhat serious.

That was the normal reaction!

Quick, curse them! Despicable is the highest praise!

The Gu family grandfather and grandson watched with anticipation, ready to enjoy the long-awaited sense of achievement.

But as they watched, they heard a disappointed question.

"Have you been lying to me all along? There's no sister here?"

Gu Taiyuan was stunned.

Sister?

At the brink of death, shouldn't they be in a futile rage?

Who would react like this, focusing on such a thing!

Looking at their demeanor and tone, it seemed they really came here for women. It was hard to believe that such shallow, lustful individuals could have such terrifying cultivation.

Gu Taiyuan had trained hard all his life, yet he was still slightly inferior to these lustful fools...

This was simply unfair!!!

His vanity and sense of achievement were once again unfulfilled. Gu Taiyuan, furious, lost all interest in tormenting them.

"Hmph!"

"Only now do you realize? You truly deserve to die!!!"

As he spoke, the old man's eyes gleamed with malice.

Gu Daohai opened a scroll in his sleeve, and terrifying Dao power surged from all directions. The array patterns shone brilliantly, day and night reversed, and the stars appeared in the sky!

The complex array patterns on the ground lit up one by one, the light gathering between the giant pillars, then turning into starlight that returned to the sky. Countless stars connected into lines, endless Dao power transformed into stars projecting into the heavens, almost enveloping the entire Gu family holy land. The exclamations of awe reached the clouds!

The heavens as the chessboard, the stars as the pieces, even a saint would be helpless!

What a terrifying feat! The Gu family grandfather and grandson looked on with reverence, praising excitedly.

"Star Chess Formation! This is the true Star Chess Formation!!!"

"Today, we restart the ancestral array. May the ancestor bless us, slay these troublemakers, and bestow great treasures upon the world, allowing our Gu family to rise again!!!"

The two bowed respectfully, their faces full of pride.

Then they glanced at each other, their expressions a mix of pride and anticipation.

Sure enough.

This time, as they watched, they finally saw the expected anger!

The figures in black robes all wore expressions of rage, their killing intent rapidly condensing.

Especially the leading skeleton, who had lost his previous carefree demeanor. He stood silently, his hollow eye sockets reflecting the starlight, cold and still.

At a glance, one could feel his silent fury, more powerful than any curse.

Gu Taiyuan's perverse vanity was finally satisfied, and he laughed maniacally!

"Hahaha!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, are you burning with rage now? Do you want to kill us?! Unfortunately, it's too late. Let me tell you the truth, our Gu family ancestor was a perfected saint who inherited the Dao of Heaven and cultivated for countless years!"

"Even if you have the same level of cultivation, in the face of the Star Chess Formation, you will surely be severely injured!!!"

The grandfather and grandson's faces twisted with laughter, as if victory was already in their hands.

As humble as they had been before, their current outburst was equally arrogant, their petty natures fully revealed!

Just as they were laughing triumphantly.

Lou Benwei slowly took a step.

Step!

With just one step, his aura changed dramatically. A terrifying pressure surged like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming the grandfather and grandson!

Their laughter froze on their faces, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on them!

Gu Taiyuan's eyes widened, his face instantly pale!

"H-how is this possible! You're in the Star Chess Formation, how can you still move?! This is the Dao power of our perfected saint ancestor! You should be helpless!!!"

There was no response, only the sound of footsteps.

Step!

With just the second step, the pressure was overwhelming!

The grandfather and grandson couldn't withstand it, kneeling on the ground as if crushed by a giant mountain!

"Boom!"

A dull sound echoed as the ground beneath their knees cracked. Before they could speak, they felt a sweet taste in their throats.

"Pfft!!!"

Gu Daohai, who had barely reached the saint level, immediately spat out a mist of blood!
