Chapter 223 Finally Seeing the Magical Artifact (2)
Although the battle was fierce and many people died, it could only end like this in the end. Both of them, Golden Core cultivators, were out of fighting power. If they continued to fight, even if one side won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory and they would not be able to protect the foundation of Ye City. At that time, another fisherman would come along, and the two of them would really become the snipe and the clam fighting.
Gu Yuchuan knew that his opportunity had come.
Before entering the ancestral hall, Wang Ankang told everyone, "Everyone, go and heal your wounds first. We will have a meeting at the ancestral hall tomorrow at noon to discuss what will happen next." Then he walked into the ancestral hall.
Gu Yuchuan followed stealthily, and after Wang Ankang confirmed that no one was watching, he took out the inner core.
His gaze at the inner core was somewhat dazed: "I never expected that the fox demon's fortune and magic power would only allow us to inherit it for five hundred years. After this, it will be difficult for the Wang family to borrow the fox demon's legacy again."
That's true. No matter what, Xiao Wei is just a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. Although she has a noble bloodline, she can only protect them for so many years at most. If he guessed correctly, the bloodline and magic power inside Xiao Wei's tail should have dried up and could no longer be transformed into fortune.
As the inner core emitted a white divine light, a secret passage appeared before them. No wonder Gu Yuchuan had searched the ancestral hall so many times without finding anything; it turned out that this passage required a specific item to manifest. It was no wonder he couldn't find it, since he didn't have Xiao Wei's inner core.
Gu Yuchuan followed him down. The temperature below dropped rapidly, as if they were in an icy prison where Xiao Wei was being held. They walked a long way before finally seeing the magical artifact.
This is an ever-burning lamp, its flame flickering weakly, as if a gentle breath could extinguish it. The fuel for the candle is a white, furry tail, but the fur on the tail is already very sparse, and it seems it won't last much longer.
Wang Ankang bowed before the magical artifact: "This unworthy descendant has come to beg for magical power. The Song family has broken ties with us and started a great war. My strength is insufficient, and I can only use my inner core to repel them. I beg my ancestor to replenish the magical power of my inner core."
The flames on the magical artifact began to grow larger, and a stream of pure white magical power entered the inner core. The inner core regained its power, but the candlelight appeared to be even weaker, as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
Wang Ankang sighed, "It seems this is the last time the inner core will be used. If it's used again, there will be nothing left to replenish it. But without the fox demon's luck, can our Wang family still produce a Golden Core stage expert?"
He was very worried about the future of the Wang family, but there was nothing he could do. Their family had gained their position illegitimately. Although they had successfully become a Golden Core family, they were trapped here and could not get out, which was inevitable.
He remained silent for a long time before leaving. Gu Yuchuan waited a while longer before revealing himself, looking at the magical artifact before him. This was the thing that had trapped Xiao Wei's magic power and fortune; it was truly mysterious. But where did the Wang family's ancestor, a mere mortal, obtain this thing?
Suddenly, he felt a tremendous magical force strike him from his right. He immediately dodged, and a woman's voice rang out: "I knew it. The fox demon wasn't dead. She would definitely send someone to find his tail."
Gu Yuchuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an old woman speaking. She was wearing a brown robe and had a fierce but joyful look in her eyes.
"Who are you?" The other party's aura was also at the Golden Core stage, so Gu Yuchuan did not make a move directly, fearing that something might go wrong.
The old woman laughed out loud: "What? Didn't the fox demon tell you when she sent you here that she was sealed here by my lineage of demon hunters?"
She spoke with great arrogance, as if the demon hunters she mentioned were some extraordinary beings.
Gu Yuchuan chuckled: "Oh? Demon hunters, huh? Then why do I sense that the demons in this Myriad Realms are much stronger than the humans? It seems you demon hunters are nothing special after all."
The fact that humans can't defeat demons is a perpetual pain in the hearts of demon hunters. As soon as Gu Yuchuan said this, his expression immediately changed.
"I see you're also a demon. Today, I'll show you our power."
After saying that, he summoned a bow and arrow, which turned out to be a magic weapon. Interesting, the Golden Core cultivators outside, as well as the heads of the Wang and Song families, do not have magic weapons, but this demon hunter hiding in this dark and sunless secret passage does.
This magical artifact possesses the power of scorching sunlight, making it appear to be an extremely yang artifact. It does indeed have a restraining effect on demons and evil spirits. However, Gu Yuchuan is a dragon. Although he is a demon, he is not evil. These things that restrain demons and evil spirits are completely ineffective against him.
The bow was drawn, and a sharp arrow transformed into a phoenix in the air, rolling in with boundless flames. The heat of the flames raised the temperature here considerably. What courage! The power of this arrow is indeed not low.
Gu Yuchuan made claws with both hands and launched a Dragon Claw Hand attack. This was something he learned in the inheritance during his ascension to the Flood Dragon realm. Flood Dragons have extremely powerful physical bodies, so they have many combat techniques that utilize their physical strength. Since he didn't have a suitable weapon, he naturally learned a lot of these techniques.
In mid-air, golden claws gripped the arrogant phoenix, and the flames on its body slowly extinguished. The demon hunter was so frightened that she took a step back. This was a magic weapon with the ultimate yang attribute, which was usually invincible when killing demons. How could it have turned out like this? Fear filled her eyes.
"With such meager skills, you dare call yourself a demon hunter? It's laughable. Prepare to die."
Fearing that delay might lead to unforeseen changes, Gu Yuchuan immediately summoned his natal magic treasure, the Myriad Dragons Diagram. This Myriad Dragons Diagram transformed the secret passage into a sea and also fixed this space, preventing the other party from transmitting messages to the outside world.
This demon hunter actually looks quite weak; he can't even defeat the dragon in the Myriad Dragons Diagram. With Gu Yuchuan's refinement, this dragon has already reached the second level of the Golden Core stage, and is even much stronger than a typical second level Golden Core cultivator. It's more than enough to defeat this demon hunter, not to mention that there are three first level Golden Core demons assisting him.
Soon, the demon hunter collapsed to the ground, but his expression showed no sign of panic.
"You're here to find Xiaowei's tail, aren't you? Look, this magical artifact only has half a tail. I guessed she would send someone over, so I hid. I can't take revenge myself, but I must make her die."
After saying that, she was about to commit suicide, but fortunately, Gu Yuchuan stopped her. It wasn't that he was kind; he genuinely needed to search the soul to find the other half of the tail.
