Chapter 869: Curse

Outside the Ancestral Garden of the Divine Medicine Valley stood a group of elders, each with a grim expression. The emergence of the demon made their hearts tremble.

The high-ranking members of the Medicine God Valley were all deeply troubled. Four of their people had not come out—the highest number of casualties ever, and in just a few years.

The Great Elder and the Third Elder were trembling all over. Little Divine Medicine had just entered! Now, with this situation, how could they face their ancestors?

“Get out of my way!”

A furious roar came from afar. Xiao Bai, radiating a terrifying aura, flipped over a powerful expert of the Medicine God Valley with a single palm and strode forward, his presence fierce and formidable.

“Who goes there?” Seeing someone break into their forbidden ground, the group of elders were enraged. This was their sacred site, and now someone dared to storm in.

Xiao Bai’s face was full of murderous intent. He was furious. Earlier, he had heard outside that something had happened in the First Ancestral Ground, and he had charged straight over.

Yuan Xia’s face was full of anxiety, her eyes scanning the path ahead. When she saw the tightly shut gate, her gaze turned cold. Her beautiful face exuded a chill as she demanded, “Why have you closed the gate?”

“Hmph, you have some nerve, daring to barge in here!” The golden-haired man walked over, his expression very unpleasant. The fact that Murong Feng had not come out infuriated him, and now these people dared to cause trouble.

“You old bastard! You begged us to enter the First Ancestral Ground, and now you close the gate? What do you mean by this?” Xiao Bai shouted fearlessly.

“You’re asking for death!” A child dared to rebuke him. The golden-haired man was enraged and reached out to grab Xiao Bai.

The middle-aged man behind Xiao Bai stepped forward with a dark expression. His movements were somewhat stiff, but the aura emanating from him made people tremble.

Yang Xiao flicked his finger, and the golden-haired man’s body began to shake violently, his arm nearly exploding!

When those around saw him, many shrank back. This man rarely showed himself, said to be an elder of the young man who had entered, extremely formidable, and seldom seen in action.

Yang Xiao had been about to start refining pills to fully master this body, but he hadn’t expected this to happen.

A flicker of wariness appeared in the golden-haired man’s eyes, then he sneered, “I think you came to our Medicine God Valley with ill intentions. I suspect they are behind this!”

“I think so too. Nothing like this ever happened before. After those two humans entered, this situation occurred—it must be related to them!”

“Exactly. How could the demon’s emergence be so coincidental? They came out, and the demon followed.”

“I think these humans came to our Medicine God Valley to steal something. We should capture them all.”

A group of people immediately jumped out, pointing at them and cursing loudly, extremely furious.

Yang Xiao’s face darkened. He swept his gaze over the faces of the crowd, finally fixing his eyes on the Great Elder. He said calmly, “Great Elder, do you think so too?”

Hearing this, the Great Elder was extremely embarrassed. It was he who had begged Yang Tian to enter, and for the sake of their clan’s little princess. Now the Medicine God Valley was blaming them, and his old face lost all luster.

“Brother Yang, this is all a misunderstanding. Please don’t take offense.” The Third Elder quickly stepped forward with an apologetic smile. He knew this man was terrifying and must not be offended.

“Then open the gate.” Yuan Xia suppressed her inner anger and said in a low voice. If Yang Tian’s mother found out about this, who knew what would happen.

“No, a demon has truly emerged inside. This is no lie. You know the main purpose of opening the First Ancestral Ground this time. I am more anxious than you.” The Third Elder also looked extremely worried.

Thinking of Little Divine Medicine, Yuan Xia’s anger grew. They should never have entered in the first place.

“Elder, you’ve come. It’s these humans. If not for them, Murong Feng and the others would never have been in trouble.”

At that moment, when the golden-haired man saw an old man approaching, he quickly went to meet him. Those around, seeing who it was, all showed respect. This was an elder of their clan, who had lived for many years.

The Elder’s face was cold and gloomy. His eyes swept over the few people, and when they fell on Yang Xiao, they showed uncertainty.

After a moment’s thought, the Elder’s face filled with fury. He berated the Great Elder, “What is going on? Why are humans in our First Ancestral Ground?”

“Elder, this was promised by the Supreme Elder.” The Great Elder said helplessly.

“Hmph, I think you’ve grown too arrogant, no longer holding me in regard.” The Elder’s face was dark. He glanced at Yuan Xia and the other two and said sternly, “You humans dared to trespass into our ancestral ground. Get out now!”

Yang Xiao’s face instantly turned cold. He waved his hand, and heaven and earth rumbled. Flesh and blood emanated a surging aura, which shot straight toward the Elder’s head.

“Not good!” Sensing this, the Elder was instantly enraged, but fear flickered in his eyes. He met the attack with his palm, but was forced back several steps, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

“How dare you!” Everyone around was furious.

“Great Elder, at this point, I suggest we activate the formation to suppress them!”

“Yes, activate the killing formation to annihilate them!”

All the beings of the Medicine God Valley were enraged, each one aggressive, clamoring to suppress them.

Rumble!

The bronze gate suddenly trembled, as if some forbidden energy was striking it, unsettling the entire area. Large swaths of heaven and earth seemed about to collapse.

A cataclysmic change occurred. The Primordial Demon was terrifying, with a body ten thousand zhang tall, reaching the sky, its aura enough to shake the world.

“Open, open, open!”

The Primordial Demon roared, its voice spreading throughout the entire Ancestral Garden. It was incredibly fearsome, attacking the bronze altar ahead with its arms, trying to drag out those inside.

Yang Tian’s face was full of bitterness. This was a last resort—only by activating the bronze altar could they escape from here.

“It’s okay, we can go back the way we came.” Yan Long said.

Yang Tian sighed. This bronze altar was obtained from the Alchemy Dao Alliance, and now it was finally being used—for escape.

Above the bronze altar, terrifying array patterns were being traced. The flawless heaven and earth outlined extremely fearsome patterns, and a gate slowly opened.

This was a gate of time and space, flowing with the aura of ages, simple and unadorned. The space above the gate was covered with intricate, profound patterns.

The Primordial Demon was enraged, continuously striking the bronze altar. But the altar was made of divine materials and forged by a supreme being, so it could not be broken through easily.

“In my name, I summon my ancestors; with my blood, I invoke the demon’s curse!”

The Primordial Demon suddenly chanted a somber demonic incantation. The heavens and earth resounded with the roars of countless demons, causing Yang Tian, who was about to step through the gate of time and space, to tremble violently, his soul nearly leaving his body.

“No good, hurry!” Seeing this, Yan Long was both shocked and furious, shouting repeatedly.
