Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1704: Coercion



Guo Yaoyao looked at the Supreme Ancestor with a pair of extremely bright eyes: "Why should I be afraid of you?"

"Haha, if you're not afraid, that's good. Now, the ancestor gives you a task. Can you complete it?" The Supreme Ancestor had a kind smile on his face: "If you do well, there will be a reward from the ancestor!"

Guo Yaoyao looked cautiously at the Supreme Ancestor, then said, "Do you want me to plead on your behalf?"

She was very innocent, you could say, as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. But innocence does not mean a lack of wisdom, she could still clearly see through some things.

"Yes, you see, you and Young Master Chu, you can be considered friends. Can you plead with him not to kill us?" The Supreme Ancestor looked at Guo Yaoyao with a smile, his gaze as kind as that of an elder looking at his younger generation.

Guo Chang took a deep breath, wanting to say something, but at this moment, one of the Supreme Ancestors gave him a cold glance.

That glance was chilling!

It carried an infinite warning in it.

Guo Chang's body trembled slightly, and the words on the tip of his tongue could not be spoken no matter what.

He really did not fear death, and he clearly knew that the woman he loved also did not fear it!

But they, as a couple, did not want their only daughter to be implicated. She was still young, very young, and had not even experienced the taste of emotions... They truly couldn't bear to see their daughter encounter any mishaps.

The ancestor's glance was a warning to him.

Guo Chang's heart trembled with anger. He had truly never seen such shameless ancestors. They were so afraid of death that they wanted to use a young descendant as a bargaining chip.

Yet he dared not speak out; he was very aware that if these six Supreme Ancestors were truly pushed to the limit, they could do anything. Killing their whole family would take no more than a breath.

Guo Yaoyao glared with big eyes at the speaking Supreme Ancestor and said, "But, I've heard that back in the day, you killed all their family, and then you stole a large amount of their cultivation resources and wealth, is that true?"

"Don't listen to those lies spread outside, it's all slander! Think about it, how could people like us do such things?" The ancient ancestor from the Cold Ice Family said with a smile, showing no sign of insincerity on his face.

Guo Yaoyao asked again: "But if that's the case, why does he still want to kill you?"

"He's been misled by others." The Supreme Ancestor became very patient, looking at Guo Yaoyao: "Therefore, your task is to resolve this misunderstanding. This is a test for you by the family, if you succeed, the six of us ancestors will decide that you will be the next head of the Cold Ice Family!"

Guo Chang raised his head in disbelief, looking at the six Supreme Ancestors. Even Madam Guo's face was full of shock.

They truly did not expect that in order to survive, these six Supreme Ancestors would disregard even the most basic family rules. To actually promise such a thing to Guo Yaoyao?

Any ancient family, regardless of its size, has exceedingly strict rules when it comes to choosing a head. In such matters, what is most avoided... is the interference of the ancestors. Once they have stepped down, they should not involve themselves in the personnel arrangements within the family; this is the fundamental rule that ensures a family's normal operation.

It wasn't even a matter of whether Guo Yaoyao could succeed; the promise from the six Supreme Ancestors was simply harming Guo Yaoyao!

If Guo Yaoyao truly became the head, she would be marginalized in no time. She might not even survive for long!

A large family, how could it allow such a young girl to take charge?

Guo Chang, at this moment, didn't even dare to look at his daughter; Madam Guo also lowered her head, extremely anxious in her heart. The couple had been very strict in educating their daughter over the years, making Guo Yaoyao understand many principles of being human. So, at this moment, they could only hope that their daughter can refuse such an unreasonable request.

"Head of the family? I don't want to be, nor do I have the ability." Guo Yaoyao said.

Guo Chang and Madam Guo both sighed in relief in their hearts.

The Supreme Ancestor said, "Oh? Then what do you want?"

Guo Yaoyao said, "Chu Mo doesn't listen to me at all. Back then, when I wanted to run away with him and see the world outside, he sent me back. The ones he truly acknowledges are my parents, so I'll stay, and let my parents go negotiate with them."

"No way!" Guo Chang and Madam Guo spoke almost simultaneously.

The eyes of the six Supreme Ancestors instantly fell on the two of them.

The pressure was such that it almost made them vomit blood on the spot.

At this time, Guo Yaoyao chuckled lightly from the side: "Dad, Mom, you go, whether you're successful or not, we've done our best, after all, we don't want the six grandpas to be killed either. As for me, I'll just stay here, I'm sure the six grandpas will be very good to me."

Guo Yaoyao smiled at her parents, seemingly not realizing that staying here was the most dangerous decision.

The Supreme Ancient Ancestor said coldly to Guo Chang, "Having lived for so many years, yet you don't have the filial piety of a child!"

At this moment, his expression changed slightly, and the expressions of the five Supreme Ancient Ancestors beside him also changed simultaneously. One of them said in a deep voice, "How did he come so quickly?"

Another Supreme Ancient Ancestor murmured, "This child's cultivation... compared to before, has become much more profound!"

"I estimate that he is only one step away from the Supreme now!"

"I think... maybe just half a step away."

At this moment, the Supreme Ancient Ancestors of the Cold Ice Family were all somewhat terrified. Their hearts were truly filled with fear.

They have lived for endless ages and experienced countless reincarnations. They have always been the rulers of this world. Especially now, only two of the thirteen ancient clans remain! If they can survive, who else in the Tunnel World can rival them?

The Chu Clan? Let them remain lofty! In terms of foundation, who is a match for the Cold Ice Family and the Luoshui Family?

Even though the Elite Alliance is strong, it is not to be feared!

So, they do not want to die, not at all!

Now it seems that their hope of survival is very slim, almost entirely pinned on this family of three. Guo Chang, this fool, clearly does not want them to continue living, as well as those Cold Ice Family heads outside, including that group of elders, and even... all the offspring of the Cold Ice Family, actually do not wish for them to continue living!

Because only if they die will this conflict completely settle.

Thinking of this, the six Supreme Ancient Ancestors were filled with immeasurable anger in their hearts.

We created this race, we are your ancestors, without us, how would you exist?

Therefore, at the moment they promised Guo Yaoyao, the six Supreme Ancient Ancestors were all serious. As long as they could survive, they would truly push Guo Yaoyao to the position of family head and always protect her!

Guo Chang actually understood this in his heart, but he completely did not want his daughter to become such a tool!

Everyone has selfish desires; it's just that their positions are different.

At this time, the Supreme Ancient Ancestor looked at Guo Chang and said flatly, "Will you go, or will your daughter go? You choose?"

Another Supreme Ancient Ancestor's voice became gentle, "Guo Chang, think about it, if you succeed in this matter, you will become the most powerful person in the entire Cold Ice Ancient Clan. If we fall, do you think your family of three could escape unscathed? Even if we don't take action against you, can the Cold Ice Family still accommodate you? Do you think those people won't put the blame on your family of three?"

At this moment, in the void, Chu Mo's indifferent voice sounded, "Six Supreme Ancient Ancestors of the Cold Ice Family, I have already given you so many years. Come out, don't delay any longer. Don't even think about resolving this matter with any means, it is meaningless. You should be very clear that compared to the things you've done in the past, you are guilty of crimes for which even death cannot repay."

The faces of the six Supreme Ancient Ancestors of the Cold Ice Family were all ashen, cursing angrily in their hearts: If it weren't for those two old undying ones protecting you, with just you... daring to cause trouble in the Cold Ice Family, any one of us could slap you to death ten thousand times!

At this moment, Guo Chang glanced at Guo Yaoyao and his wife, then said to the six ancestors, "Given the situation, either our family of three goes together, or you venerable ancestors kill all three of us here."

"You..." one Supreme Ancient Ancestor glared at Guo Chang, then nodded, "Fine, don't think about playing any tricks."

In this current situation, they could only rely on Guo Chang's family to take a chance. Otherwise, what is the point of killing their family of three? They could only hope that Guo Chang's family of three could serve some purpose.

Guo Chang's heart was already filled with sadness, smiling bitterly, "Rest assured."

Then, Guo Chang led his wife and daughter out of the ancestral house and flew up into the sky. He then said in a loud voice, "Brother Chu Mo, long time no see, hope you've been well!"

Chu Mo's figure was at the far end of the horizon, but in the blink of an eye, he stood before Guo Chang's family of three. Smiling slightly, he clasped his fists and said, "Are you all well?"

"Brother Chu Mo, we're not well!" Guo Yaoyao pouted and said, "The ancient ancestors are forcing us to plead..."

Guo Yaoyao's words instantly reached countless people. Everyone's expressions were very colorful. The faces of the six Supreme Ancient Ancestors were also very dark.

This little girl is simply too vicious!

Madam Guo said beside her, "Call him uncle, why are you so impolite?"

"I just want to call him brother." After so many years, Guo Yaoyao's temperament hasn't changed much, she is still pure and cute.

Chu Mo looked at Guo Chang, smiling, "Is it like this?"
