Chapter 2030 Dragon Vein Inheritance 3
Had it not been for Huang Fu"s presence in the s.p.a.ce, Gu Chaoyan wouldn"t have been able to contain her frustration. She was tempted to strike out at him.
They had hurriedly arrived at the dragon vein without bringing any food, hoping to seize an advantage. Yet, it seemed that the timing was not yet right.
Observing Gu Chaoyan"s annoyance, Huang Fu spoke calmly, "I am doing this for your own benefit."
"…"
"As a top-tier Great Martial Master, you are capable on your own. However, you are alone in this endeavor. The princes from the Shenyou Dynasty have their brothers and numerous guards accompanying them. The same goes for the other aristocratic families; they have their own supporters."
"…."
"If you were to arrive late, you would be marginalized along the way."
"…."
"But things are different here."
"…."
"While the protective array formation around the dragon vein has disappeared, there are still array formations at the entrance and within the dragon vein. No one can utilize spiritual energy here, so you don"t need to worry about your safety. Everyone must rely solely on their own abilities to obtain the inheritance."
"…."
"If luck is on your side, it will be yours," Huang Fu casually stated.
Gu Chaoyan also felt a surge of irritation.
However, Huang Fu"s words held truth. No matter how angry she was, she had to remain silent.
Cultivators didn"t require much food, but after a prolonged period, sustenance became necessary.
Over the past few days, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin mainly relied on wild fruits or fish caught by the riverside, enjoying grilled fish as their meal.
Gradually, a surge of spiritual energy converged upon the dragon vein.
It was an indication that others had also sensed its presence and were making their way towards the location.
Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin chose to remain inside, apprehensive of encountering troublesome individuals.
Since spiritual energy couldn"t be utilized at the entrance of the dragon vein, there was no immediate danger.
As expected…
Soon enough…
Numerous individuals reached the entrance of the dragon vein, feeling a sense of pride for being the first to arrive. However, their expressions soured when they noticed Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin already present inside.
Frowning, they wondered if someone had beaten them to the treasure.
Acting swiftly, they attempted to expel Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin by using their spiritual energy, determined to enter the dragon vein ahead of them.
However…
Zhou Huaijin didn"t retaliate with his own spiritual energy.
"What"s happening? Is there an array formation?" one of the men exclaimed in surprise, finally understanding why Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin were present.
Realizing that his own spiritual energy was useless, he refrained from taking any action. Instead, he led his group towards the entrance.
To his dismay, he discovered that they were unable to proceed any further.
"Tell me, what is the meaning of this?" Yuan Xiangchen demanded of Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin, adopting a condescending tone as if speaking to a servant.
Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin paid no heed to him, choosing to ignore his presence.
This infuriated Yan Xiangchen.
He had already offered them a way out of kindness, yet they disregarded him. No one in the Shenyou Continent would dare treat him in such a manner.
"Can"t you hear me?" Yan Xiangchen repeated angrily.
"You are here alone. Can"t you comprehend the situation?" Gu Chaoyan responded bluntly.
"You…" Yan Xiangchen glanced at his guards and commanded, "Kill these two individuals. Do not let them live!"
The guard prepared to advance upon hearing the order.
However, before they could make a move, an aged voice resonated from within the dragon vein. "Those who engage in battle within the dragon vein are deemed unworthy to receive the inheritance."
