Chapter 540: Lin Fan Makes a Handsome Entrance

"Disciple..." Candle Dragon, his breath weak, felt a sharp pang in his heart as he looked at the bloodstained figure.

Long Xuan was his disciple, his only disciple. Over the years, he had only taken Long Xuan as his apprentice, and Long Xuan was his most beloved disciple. Deep love brought deep pain. Back then, when his disciple defected to Despair Marquis, his steadfast Dao heart shattered in that moment.

From then on, Candle Dragon never took another disciple, nor did he ever mention to anyone that he had once had one.

Now, watching his disciple suffer this calamity to save them,

his heart ached.

At this moment, Candle Dragon thought of a saying: who can be without fault?

But it was all too late.

His disciple had sought him out, wanting to explain, but he had never given him a chance. Time and again, he had beaten his disciple half to death, never once listening to his explanation.

At this moment, Candle Dragon regretted why he had never given that chance back then.

"Ah!"

At this moment, Despair Marquis let out a sharp, piercing cry. His expressionless face now turned panicked, and he transformed into a rainbow of light, rushing toward the falling Long Xuan.

...

"Hmph, with such a soft heart, how can you deserve the title of Despair Marquis? If you won't act, I'll do it for you." Gu Xiao looked at the scene before him and said calmly.

To Gu Xiao, these myriad-race beings were nothing more than buzzing ants, useful only for consumption.

Gu Xiao had always enjoyed slaying myriad-race beings, because the more he killed, the stronger the reward from the Ancient Sacred Realm's Heavenly Will.

It greatly benefited his cultivation.

Gu Xiao had long coveted the myriad-race beings in Despair City. The city was close to where the myriad races ascended, possessing endless resources.

In Gu Xiao's mind, if he could own Despair City, he would have risen to prominence long ago and achieved the Divine Heaven rank.

Everything before the Divine Heaven realm was trivial; only entering the Divine Heaven realm truly set one on the path to eternity.

Though Gu Xiao coveted it, he could do nothing. Despair City was personally appointed by the Supreme Being. Even as the son of Weijun King, if he offended the Supreme Being, life and death could change in an instant.

At this moment, Gu Xiao turned his gaze to the people of the six major sects, a cold smile curling on his lips.

"Not bad, so many myriad-race beings—enough for me to kill." Gu Xiao stepped forward, leaving the already demoralized Despair Marquis behind.

The guards behind Gu Xiao looked at the people of the six major sects as if they were food, saliva dripping profusely.

So many myriad-race beings—if they could kill them all, how wonderful that would be.

"Young master, can we eat some?"

"You may." Gu Xiao said.

"Thank you, young master." Hearing this, the Gu clan guards immediately showed joy. In their eyes, this was extremely fortunate.

They had not encountered so many myriad-race beings in a very long time. This kind of overwhelming slaughter was what they loved most.

Especially those elders who were utterly defenseless—they were like delicacies. But they knew these elders belonged to the young master; they could only pick the small fry.

Still, even that was enough, because killing would make them even more excited.

"Senior Brother, they're coming." Long Yue'er's face was pale, and she even trembled. Despair Marquis had already terrified them, and the aura emanating from these Gu clan members chilled them to the bone.

"I see." Long Mutian had never imagined he would face such a tragic day.

He accepted his defeat at the hands of the Despair Marquis, but now, facing these ancient clans before him, he also felt fear.

"Protect the elder." Xie Sheng, though terrified inside at the sight of these powerful ancient clans, could not let them harm the elder at this moment.

Candle Dragon's expression tightened, sensing trouble. He knew the strength of these ancient clans—very, very strong.

Even at their peak, they were no match for the enemy.

The name of the Mighty King was known to all among the ancient clans, even more fearsome than the Despair Marquis. Now, even his son was beyond their ability to handle.

"These so-called Six Great Sects are just remote places, sects formed by a bunch of ants. Later, I can ask where they are, devour them all, and then the Divine Heaven realm will be within reach." Gu Xiao sneered inwardly.

These beings of the myriad races were no different from ants in his eyes, all utterly weak.

At that moment, the rescued beings of the myriad races, under the majesty of these ancient clans, were all terrified, their faces pale. In their panic, they began to search for that immensely powerful human who had saved them.

But what made them despair was that the human had vanished without a trace, as if suddenly disappearing from this world.

"Oh, I didn't expect to find a tender-skinned dragon woman. I'll use you to rinse my mouth first." Gu Xiao raised his hand, his five fingers grasping, and a powerful suction force erupted.

"Ah, senior brother, save me!" Long Yue'er's face turned pale, her body uncontrollably flying toward Gu Xiao.

Long Mutian saw this, his expression changed, and his legs trembled involuntarily, afraid to step forward.

Long Yue'er watched her senior brother stand motionless, trembling, and a look of despair appeared on her face.

"Let my senior sister go!" In that instant, Xie Sheng roared, his dragon force erupting. He grabbed Long Yue'er and flung her behind him, charging toward Gu Xiao.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself." Gu Xiao glanced coldly, swung his arm, and to Xie Sheng, it was like the force of heaven and earth, utterly irresistible.

Bang!

Struck by that force, Xie Sheng instantly flew like a kite with a broken string, crashing to the ground, vomiting blood in great mouthfuls.

"Junior brother." Long Yue'er immediately went to support him. She never expected that the one who would save her was the junior brother she had always scolded, while the senior brother she once respected was too scared to move.

"Weak, too weak. Well then, I'll just swallow you all in one gulp." Gu Xiao sneered, opening his mouth wide and lunging at the people of the Six Great Sects.

Gu Xiao's guards, seeing their young master unleash his ultimate move, also pounced like tigers on the disciples of the Six Great Sects, afraid that if they delayed, there would be nothing left but scraps.

At this moment, the disciples of the Six Great Sects, seeing these powerful ancient clans, were all filled with fear. The rescued beings of the myriad races were also filled with despair.

Who would come to save them...

"Ancient clans..." Just then, a voice full of supreme authority suddenly came from afar.

A vast aura enveloped the void, pressing down upon these ancient clans.

"Hmm..." Gu Xiao's expression tightened, he stopped his action and turned to look into the distance.

To those panicked beings of the myriad races, this voice was like a lifeline, rescuing them from the abyss.

The disciples of the Six Great Sects looked on in confusion, wondering who the owner of this voice was.

"It's that human lord."

"That human lord didn't leave; he came back to save us."

"It's that lord who killed the four legion commanders and annihilated a million ancient clansmen."

At this moment, the beings of the myriad races erupted in jubilation.

The elders of the Six Great Sects also changed expression, a hint of doubt in their eyes as they looked at Lin Fan.
