Chapter 578: Chapter 578

Gu Jianlin finished reading the ancient text and fell into deep thought.

Honestly, encountering an Ancient Supreme at their peak in the real world is nothing short of a terrifying horror story. With their old monster status and arrogance, they probably wouldn't regard other humans at all.

Even heavenly beings would merely be objects worthy of observation.

But he inherited the power of the Qilin and devoured her Dragon Bone. That grudge runs deep.

If one day he were to turn a corner and run into the old monster… haha.

"Anyway, I've reminded them of everything I possibly could. The teacher has gone to Buzhou Mountain with Gold and Silver. If they still can't stop this, then we're all doomed; no one will survive."

He muttered to himself, "The priority now is uncovering Tang Zijing's true identity. According to the predictions of the Nightmare and Lord Meng, to get the answer, we must proceed discreetly, approach the center of the Sea of Eternal Life as closely as possible, and perhaps encounter people from the You Ying Group. Danger and opportunity go hand in hand."

The Omega Sequence has this advantage—in that most of those around are elites.

The predictions of Divination Masters and Spirit Mediums can provide direction.

Although waking people up in the middle of the night and terrifying them was a bit rude.

Still, he couldn't worry about that now.

This wasn't just about Thunder; it also involved the so-called Heavenly Human Plan.

At that moment, the prisoners in the convoy began to stir in agitation. Someone nervously looked upward and exclaimed in fear, "Look over there! What is that? Who could carve words up there?"

"No Living Humans Allowed? What does this mean? Who left it there?"

Another person muttered suspiciously, "Is this a prank?"

Someone else screamed loudly in panic, "This is warning us not to go forward, isn't it?"

On a massive glacier above the Ice Sea, there were indeed four large characters carved into the ice: No Living Humans Allowed!

It seemed as though someone had carved these words with a sword. Moreover, it wasn't just any ordinary sword—the scorching sword mark hadn't been erased by the wind and snow despite the passage of time. It was utterly chilling and terrifying.

The prisoners were engulfed in fear, knowing full well they were brought here as trailblazers.

Mr. Liu wasn't particularly scared. After surveying his surroundings, he suddenly noticed the silhouette of a figure in a black trench coat inside one of the prison cars: "Oh? This person has quite an unusual aura. Could it be someone like us? You lot keep an eye on him. If something really happens later, lend him a hand and form a good bond."

As a board member of the You Ying Group, his judgment of people was spot on.

Inside the prison car, while all the other prisoners had been subdued, this particular one remained unscathed.

Everyone around was gripped by fear, except him, who showed no reaction whatsoever.

What was even more startling were his eyes.

Mr. Liu had seen countless beauties, but he had never encountered eyes as breathtaking as these—deep and mysterious like the stars, strangely enchanting, capable of mesmerizing with just a glance but also carrying an air of undeniable dignity that forbade disrespect.

It was the kind of beauty that left one in awe at first sight, yet deterred any lustful thoughts.

This person was undeniably a beauty.

Even Miss Moon Princess couldn't compare.

Mr. Liu developed a desire to recruit him—if he turned out to be a wild Ascender, then he'd bring him under his wing.

Back then, he had his eyes on the "chair-killing maniac."

No—now he should be called the Qilin.

But he failed to recruit him.

Then another mysterious figure, Gu Ting, appeared, stirring his envy.

In the end, it was confirmed to be the same person.

Mr. Liu was truly yearning for another capable subordinate.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so thoroughly suppressed by the Si Family. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

Gu Jianlin paid no attention to these gazes; his focus remained solely on the four characters carved into the glacier.

Without a doubt, these were sword marks—a masterpiece of the Sword Sect Path.

He felt a strong intuition.

Old Master Si, the leader of the convoy, was a high-level Divination Master who naturally sensed the danger ahead, particularly from the four characters etched into the ice. A simple divination would reveal this was no prank.

Xia Yu turned with a smile, holding a wine glass, and commanded, "Randomly pick a group of prisoners to scout ahead."

Her every gesture carried a seductive allure, with an elusive fragrance that lingered even in the frigid cold. Those who caught whiff of it felt a strange heat in their abdomen.

They began to fantasize about entangling themselves with this woman in fiery passion.

"Hold your breath! Don't inhale!"

Mr. Liu warned in a low voice, "That's one of the Xia Family's deadly enchantresses. She possesses a Mythical Weapon called Enchanting Demon Night Fragrance. Inhaling too much of it will turn you into her devoted subject, completely incapable of resisting her commands!"

The crowd was horrified—such a demoness truly existed.

Gu Jianlin listened with a strange expression, realizing it was fortunate he hadn't brought Jiuyin along.

Otherwise, Jiuyin would certainly have urged him to subdue this Female Sacrifice.

Soon, the Si Family's candidates maneuvered their prison cars to the forefront. With the metallic cages being opened, the prisoners were driven out in terror.

No one dared resist, as candidates of the Overlord Path surrounded them with sniper rifles aimed at their heads.

Anyone who disobeyed faced immediate execution.

Wild Ascenders, as compared to the elites of major organizations, were pathetically weak.

From the Ice Sea rose towering islands, with countless smaller ones surrounding them. The abandoned cities on these islands appeared frozen under layers of ice and frost, with cold winds carrying sleet, accompanied by faint roars of some monstrous creatures.

The prisoners were herded forward in fear.

Gu Jianlin mingled among them, cautiously observing his surroundings. He could sense the presence of Qilin Wedge fragments.
