His entire body's vital energy was absorbed by the Dao fetus, and his whole body emitted a thick black smoke as the ancient evil dust's deathly aura heavily pressed down on him, lying motionless on the ground. Even professional doctors using professional equipment for close examination couldn't find any signs of life.

  As for the stunned Hua who fell five or six meters away from Gu Xian's body, he was even more 'dead' than anyone else. If you want to talk about playing dead, who can play dead better than a zombie?

  Several beauties carrying firearms walked to Gu Xiechen's side, kicked him hard several times, and found that he was indeed 'dead', so they let him go.

  A battalion of female soldiers stormed into Lawrence Lee's ancient castle, with continuous gunfire coming from the castle. Lawrence's clansmen and servants were found one by one in their hiding places and shot dead. Soldier after soldier carried out valuable items from within the castle, piling up a small mountain of antiques and artifacts in front of the castle.

  He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes, looking at the ancient castle on the other side. He didn't have the slightest intention of lending a hand to save Lawrence Lee. That mysterious silver-haired man was an 'Intercessor', while Gu Xiechen was just an ordinary pre-heavenly martial artist of the Underworld Star level. He wasn't about to risk his life against someone with divine powers. Hua also pretended to be dead on the side, and didn't see him take the lead in upholding justice. Gu Xiechen thought to himself that he still didn't have such a strong sense of justice.

  A huge airship slowly descended from the high sky, and the female soldiers moved antiques, famous paintings, gold and silver utensils and other things into the airship. As the things on the ground became fewer and fewer, one by one, the female soldiers turned into streams of light and entered Saisen's body in front of the ancient castle gate. The aura on Saisen's body also grew stronger, and with each stream of light entering his body, his strength seemed to increase a little bit.

  Finally, a female soldier carrying a specially made metal box walked out of the ancient castle. The woman saluted Sai Ren and said: "Master, all the valuable things inside the ancient castle have been moved away."

  Sai Ren nodded silently, then grabbed an automatic rifle from a female soldier's hand and fired randomly at the twenty or so pure-blood horses in the stable. One by one, the tall steeds fell to the ground with pitiful whinnies, their blood flowing everywhere, filling the air with its pungent smell. Sai Ren shook his head and sighed softly, "What a pity, these horses didn't make it out in time."

  Similarly pretending to be dead, Hua Ben's instincts made him lick the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have some ideas about these horse blood.

  Gu Xiechen stared at the female soldier carrying a metal box in shock. If Gu Xiechen hadn't had a fever, he remembered that there were three such metal boxes in Lawrence Li's study, all of which contained Lawrence Li's family treasures. Why was only one being moved out?

  His heart skipped a beat, and Gu Xiechen was so startled that he couldn't control the flow of his blood.

  In the distance of over 100 meters, Sai Zhen Meng suddenly turned around and looked this way. His eyes shone with a sudden burst of silver light, and he somehow drew out an extremely thin, yet incredibly strong soft sword. With a flick of his wrist, he sent a sword slash hurtling towards Gu Xie Chen. A wide, crescent-shaped sword aura, over ten meters long, tore through the earth and swept towards Gu Xie Chen. However, coincidentally, Hui Hua was lying on the ground right between Gu Xie Chen and Sai Zhen Meng, so this sword aura would definitely have to cut her in two before it could harm Gu Xie Chen.

  "!!!! You won't even spare the dead?" Zhan Hua furiously roared, a large amount of black corpse energy with intense evil and cold air burst out from his body, causing the ground to violently shake. Zhan Hua jumped up over a hundred meters high in an instant. His eyes shot out thick blood light as he crushed the crystal staff's magic god head in his hand, muttering a few strange phrases under his breath. The staff's body surged with blood light, and the shattered staff head transformed into a cloud of black smoke carrying ear-piercing wails that poured into the staff body.

  With a wave of his hand, the staff shot out a thick smoke and rushed towards Cai Wenji.

  Sai Ren sneered and waved his left hand lightly, and a large expanse of silver light flashed in front of him. Nearly a hundred fully armed beautiful women appeared before him. As soon as these women appeared, they pulled the triggers of their guns, and a hail of bullets swept towards Sai Hua, with several women carrying small-caliber machine guns, the dull cannon fire making people's ears ache.

  A silver sword aura swept across the ground just in time, and dozens of tall white birch trees behind were cut off at the waist by the sword aura.

  He hastily lowered his head and was shocked to find that Gu Xiechen had disappeared without a trace!

  As soon as Sai Ren drew his sword, Gu Xie Chen was like a banana peel that slipped away from the ground and slid into the dense forest more than 100 meters away. Before Hua could crush the crystal staff in her hand to launch a counterattack, Gu Xie Chen had already jumped up with a dozen or so afterimages, running wildly in several ups and downs. The lightness skill displayed by Gu Xie Chen also came from the auxiliary canon of the Contained Origin Classic, which was another masterpiece of footwork, "Miao Yun Step", created by his father after exhausting his efforts for a hundred years. Once he ran away with all his might, this speed was even faster than an ordinary sports car.

  "People these days have no sense of justice!" With a loud roar, Huajia's aura was severely damaged, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spurted out, splashing onto the rapidly disappearing black smoke.

  Five demon skulls the size of water buckets emerged from the black smoke, and the five demons bared their teeth and let out a sharp whistle, greedily pouncing on Sai Zi who was surrounded by the female soldiers.

  Bullets rained down on Hua, especially the nearly hundred rounds of machine gun fire that exploded almost simultaneously at his chest. Hua let out a muffled groan as he was blown flying far away, shaking and swaying as he fell from the air. His feet had just touched the ground when he stomped heavily on the earth. The ground within tens of meters sank down several inches, and several large trees exploded from their roots in the distance. Hua took advantage of this stomp to propel himself like a cannonball, crossing over two hundred meters into the dense forest, disappearing without a trace along with several other figures.

  Dark smoke enveloped the demon's skull as it fell from above, a chilling aura sweeping over, and a thick layer of black ice suddenly formed on the lake beside Sai Er. Sai Er was shocked, he hastily retreated backwards, the hundred or so female soldiers in front of him were already shrouded by the dark smoke, the unbearable sounds of chewing constantly came from within the dense black smoke. Sai Er's face suddenly turned pale, two trails of blood slowly flowed down from his nostrils, he had lost all sense of the hundred or so female soldiers.

  "What a terrible magic!" Saizen muttered in a low voice: "Withdraw quickly, this is not Western dark magic, it should be the damned Easterners' magic. Damned, what are they doing in London? This is the territory of the **** Church, what are the Easterners doing in London?" Obviously, Saizen's face showed a few threads of fear.

  He muttered a few curses under his breath, and Sai Jin hastily transformed all the female soldiers into streams of light that were absorbed back into his body. He then jumped onto the airship, commanding it to rapidly ascend and flee eastward.

  Gu Xie circled around a large area and arrived at the back of the ancient castle, on a mountain slope. As expected, he found Jack in a thorny bush under several tall trees on the slope.

  Jack's clothes were all torn and tattered from the thorns, he was huddled in a hole in the ground, his forehead pressed against the earth, his buttocks pointing towards the sky, and he kept muttering to himself: "Oh my God! Oh my Lord! Oh my Holy Mother Mary! Save me from being killed by these terrible people!"

  He made a vow to the sacred wheel of Christianity, and Jack muttered a prayer: "Great and almighty Buddha, protect me from this difficulty! Oh, I am your devout follower. Greatly compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please forgive my past sins, bless me with a safe return to base, thank you so much!"

  Gu Xie dust stared at Jack, who was shaking all over like a quail, but Jack began to pray: "Almighty Jade Emperor, sacred and inviolable Three Pure Ones, and all the spirits in heaven, bless me to return safely to base! If I can leave London smoothly this time, I'll offer you pork head meat during Chinese New Year!"

  "Jack! You're too damn talented!" Gu Xiandust kicked Jack's butt with a loud thud.

  Jack, who was almost scared out of his wits, sprang up from the ground like a spring and quickly pulled out a small handgun aimed at Gu Xiechen. Gu Xiechen slapped it away with one palm, sending the gun flying over ten meters away. He pointed to the two metal boxes on the ground and asked: "What are these?"

  It was easy to distinguish that the black figure in front of him, who seemed to have been burned by fire for three days and three nights, was his captain. Jack excitedly stretched out his hands and rushed towards Gu Xiechen. Gu Xiechen quickly grabbed Jack's neck and didn't let him get close to himself, pointing at the two boxes and asking again: "What is this? Hmm? Did you steal Mr. Lawrence Lee's family treasure?"

  "No, no, it's not stealing!" Jack said hastily, waving his hand. "I'm not stealing, I'm saving them! These treasures shouldn't fall into the hands of those women! They killed poor Lawrence Lee and his kin, I'm just rescuing them from those robbers!"

  Jack sneered and said, "I think they will also be happy with my actions. Those women were the enemies of their former masters, and I am the friend of their former masters!"

  Gu Xie scratched his nose and gave Jack a fierce stare. When Sai Ren's subordinate carried out only one box from the ancient castle, he knew that something must have gone wrong here, but the people in the ancient castle who could do this might be only Jack alone.

  He squatted down and opened one of the metal boxes, Gu Xie dust's cold smile said: "You can take away a third of the treasure inside, the rest are mine. You can disagree, but do you know the consequences of your disagreement? Your behavior has smeared our mercenary group's face!"

  Jack was waiting anxiously and fearfully for Gu Xiechen, he wanted to say that Gu Xiechen's behavior was no different from a bandit, and he wanted to emphasize that the two boxes were his hard-won spoils of war, rescued from the midst of gunfire and bullets... but before he could speak, the glittering treasures inside the boxes completely shut him up.

  "My Jade Emperor, God and Buddha! It's too beautiful! How much is this worth?"

  Jack's saliva was about to drip from the corner of his mouth, and Gu Xiechen also lost his mind for a moment.

  Inside this metal box, about two feet long and wide, was divided into a number of small compartments, each lined with thick velvet. Eighteen treasures were securely fastened in the small compartments with soft satin ribbons, lying quietly and emitting a dazzling beauty that mesmerized people.

  A diamond the size of a child's fist, an azure sapphire as blue as the ocean, and a ruby as red as pigeon's blood - all these jewels made Jack's heart beat violently, his face flushed with excitement. With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that the value of these dozen or so treasures was in the tens of billions, and even if it were only a third of that, he would be set for life, able to live a life of luxury and extravagance.

  Gu Xiechen was not attracted by these diamonds and gems, he just stared blankly at a jade plaque in the box.

  A very rare purple jade pendant, even Gu Xiechen can't determine whether the material of this jade pendant is really jade. However, judging from its luster, this ancient plaything with a circular top and square bottom about one foot long should be a fine piece of beautiful jade, but it's a deep purple semi-transparent jade stone, which Gu Xiechen has never seen before.

  It was one foot two inches long, six inches wide and one inch thick, with a rounded top and square bottom. The edges were adorned with exquisite cloud patterns, each piece of cloud carved with such precision that it seemed impossible to believe they were actually carved on the jade plaque. Each thin piece of cloud seemed to be fluttering in the wind, and Gu Xuan had only glanced at the jade plaque a few times before he felt as if a strong gust of wind was blowing beside him, about to sweep away the clouds on the plaque.

  The jade pendant's border is decorated with cloud patterns, while the side facing Gu Xianchen has a complex star chart carved on it. The astrological chart of the twenty-eight mansions and eighty-four thousand stars in the sky is carved inside the jade pendant using some unimaginable technique, each star emitting a faint silver light, as if these stars are moving along some mysterious trajectory at first glance.

  Looking closer, inside this semi-transparent jade pendant, there are clouds and mist, layer upon layer, with purple, gold, silver, red, white, green, blue colors constantly changing and transforming, creating an illusion that the jade pendant is a self-contained void.

  Gu Xie dust suddenly felt himself sitting on a cloud, constantly passing through endless clouds, gradually coming to a mysterious void.

  Here all around are the heavenly bodies of Zhou Tian, in the midst of infinite space is a gigantic Taiji diagram.

  Black and white, two colors, yin and yang, twin fish slowly rotating in the front, countless extremely fine golden particles swirling around this huge Tai Chi diagram rapidly operating, each grain of golden small particles full of spirituality, as if they were a living person. The yin and yang stripes drive the stars in the sky to rotate slowly, with an inexplicable and mysterious "rhythm".

  Gu Xiechen's Dao fetus suddenly accelerated its rapid movement, and a surge of pure energy continuously gushed out from his heart, gradually filling his entire body.

  A mysterious and extraordinary aura slowly emerged from Gu Xuan's body, a gentle yet irresistible force that pushed Jack back. The aura emanating from Gu Xuan merged with the aura emanating from the Taiji diagram on the jade pendant, becoming one entity.

  The jade plate inside 840,000 stars flashed at the same time, a silver haze covered an area of several meters in diameter, and the purple jade plate suddenly turned into a purple gas that rushed straight towards Gu Xiechen.

  Before Gu Xian could react, the purple gas had already entered his body through his pores.

  In the metal box, seventeen treasures were still shining brightly, but that mysterious jade token had already disappeared without a trace. Gu Xie Chen only faintly felt a clear stream flowing along his meridians and rushing straight to his Zifu Recognition Sea, merging with his Zifu Recognition Sea which had already undergone some sort of variation.

  Jack's face twitched and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Where is that purple jade pendant? Good heavens, the Purple Jade! This is a rare piece of Purple Jade! And look at its craftsmanship, it must be an artifact left over from one of ancient China's most ancient dynasties. The characters on it are identical to their most ancient oracle bones. What an extraordinary cultural relic and treasure! Where did it go?"

  Characters? Gu Xie shook his head, he didn't remember there being characters on this jade token.

  Calmly, Gu Xie dust picked up the box and held it in his hand. He glared at Jack fiercely and shouted: "If you don't want to die, follow me and leave! Jade token? What jade token? Your illusion?"

  Jack was stunned for a moment, he looked at Gu Xiechen who had been blown up by the bomb at close range and his clothes were burnt clean, no, it was impossible for Gu Xiechen to hide such a large jade plate on him.

  But where did the Jade Insignia go?

  Is it really an illusion?

  As the ancient evil dust carried two metal boxes worth billions of dollars and had already walked tens of meters away, Jack turned his head to look at the ancient castle that had been blown into ruins by bombs on the mountain slope, and hurriedly shouted strangely and chased after him.

  De Gu Xie Chen and Jack had left the ancient castle for over ten kilometers when three silver-white helicopters, with an air of pride and majesty, slowly descended onto the ruins of the ancient castle.

  Dozens of priests in white robes descended from the helicopter, carefully beginning to search every inch of the ancient castle ruins.

  The Vatican's people have finally arrived.
