Chapter 111

Guo Shier's expression changed slightly. Nan You smiled wryly. Falconer and Luo Zhan stood silently behind Guo Shier, their gazes cold. "Please!" Guo Shier said coolly. He knew why the Patriarch had come, but he was surprised that the man had come so quickly. However, he had already made up his mind to leave, so his expression was calm.

The Patriarch entered with a group of altar masters. "Patriarch Guo, thank you for your message talisman," he said. "Many of us have escaped this disaster." He stepped forward and bowed.

"You are too kind, Patriarch," Guo Shier replied. "Since I have met you, I will definitely inform you." He bowed as well, very courteous and courteous.

"Let's talk inside," the Patriarch said.

Guo Shi 'er said, "Please!" He invited the masters of the altar into the room and sat down on the floor.

The Patriarch slowly sat down on the thick animal skin mat. After a moment of silence, he said, "Patriarch Guo, this time, the family would like to invite you …"

Guo Shier interrupted him. "Patriarch Nanqiang, I am preparing to leave the Great Submerged Fortress and enter the depths of the Yamata Heaven. I will not accept any missions from the family for now."

The Patriarch was stunned. He did not expect Guo Shier to refuse so decisively. A while later, he revealed a bitter smile and said: "If we don't kill that person … he will destroy countless ancient families. Only Altar level experts have a chance against him. We don't have enough manpower."

Guo Shier shook his head. "He … is not someone we can deal with. Unless you have a nine-level altar master, you might be able to fight him. But that person seems to have surpassed the nine-level altar. If we go … we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths." He said sincerely, "A professional who can kill a million people in a second … his strength is not something we can imagine."

The Patriarch was shocked. "What? Beyond the nine-level altar? How is that possible? "

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "He is an expert who can destroy the entire continent. Do you really want to deal with such an expert?"

The Patriarch's face paled. The altar masters around him also began to discuss. A moment later, the Patriarch said, "But … he is still killing. Countless people, countless professionals, have died at his hands. We cannot ignore it. Do … do you have any suggestions?" He felt that Guo Shier was very mysterious. He could defeat a three-level or four-level expert at the two-level altar.

Guo Shier said, "My suggestion … is to stay away from that guy. This world is big enough. If we leave, we can avoid him."

The Patriarch of Nanqiang heaved a long sigh. He could escape, but his clan could not. The Gu Nan Clan occupied so many secret realms. How could they all escape? After a while, he said, "I can pay a great price to invite you to join us …"

Guo Shi 'er shook his head and said, "No matter what the price is, it is not as valuable as one's life. If one is dead, everything is for naught."

Knowing that he could not convince Guo Shier, the Patriarch of Nanqiang heaved a deep sigh. At this time, an elder of the Gunan Family coldly said, "Foreign Dignitaries have always been like this. If there's something good, they'll take it. If there's nothing, they'll run. Guo Shier laughed coldly and ignored the man.

Guo Shi 'er sneered and ignored the man.

The man shut his mouth in anger, but he looked at Guo Shier with hostility.

The Patriarch said, "Don't take it to heart. He was just anxious and had no intention of offending you."

The Patriarch said, "I never get angry at someone who is about to die."

His strength was about the same as the Patriarch's, so he did not care about those people and spoke without hesitation. His strength was similar to the Nanqiang Patriarch's, so he didn't care about those people and spoke freely. The Patriarch smiled bitterly. He stopped the man and said, "Nan Jian, go back first." The Patriarch of Nanqiang smiled bitterly to himself. He reached out to stop the man and said, "Nanjian, go back first."

The Patriarch said, "Nan You, come with us. All the altar masters must participate in this mission."

The Patriarch said, "Nan You, come with us. All the altar masters must participate in this mission."

Nan You's face was covered in sweat. He did not know what to say.

Guo Shier did not speak. Nan You braced himself and said, "Yes …" His gaze was fixed on the thick animal skin cushion, revealing a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. He was very disappointed. Even though he had advanced to the illusory altar, he would still be cannon fodder for the family. According to Guo Shier's description, even the corporeal altar masters had been killed instantly. If he went, he would definitely die.

The Patriarch nodded in satisfaction. "Let's go. Patriarch Guo, if you change your mind, you can come find me. This mission … if you accept, the reward is three basic natural runes and a set of precious materials."

Guo Shier shook his head. He needed to be alive to use the best things. He would not be tempted by these things.

The Southern Qiang Patriarch left with a group of altar masters. Guo Shi 'er noticed that Bao Ruoli and Han Huang, the two external guests, were not here. He wondered if they had also refused the mission from the Great Ancestor of Nanqiang, but he did not care. After the Patriarch left, he asked, "Nan You, are you going back? Or are you coming with us? "

Nan You gritted his teeth. "I'll go with you."

Guo Shier was not surprised. There was a great terror between life and death. No one would face death calmly. He said, "Then let's make some preparations. We need to replenish some resources. Uncle Falconer, Uncle Luo, you will be in charge of replenishing resources this time. We need to leave as soon as possible. Nan You, get ready too. We'll leave together. "

Nan You agreed and left with Falconer and Luo Zhan.

Guo Shier released the altar and asked, "A Handsome Old Man, what should we do to avoid that person?"

A Handsome Old Man poked his head out from the altar and said, "I don't know. Let's stay as far away as possible. That person has killed so many professionals. His goal is clear. He wants to collect souls. Hmm, maybe he will stop killing when he has satisfied his need for souls. Strange … how did he wake up?"

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "Countless people died in the battle around the Pure Gold Mountain. Most of the souls …"

The handsome old man suddenly came to a realization. He nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. We collected a portion of the souls, and the majority of the souls should have fallen into his hands. Perhaps this is the reason … that awakened him."

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "We're only guessing. Other than that person himself, no one else knows the real reason. I just thought it was strange that there is such a powerful expert in this world. If there are more of them, this world won't be safe anymore … That bastard, he absorbed so many souls at once. Isn't he afraid of bursting to death?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "This world is big enough for such a powerful expert to mess around. The unlucky ones are the ones who aren't strong enough." Then he said, "Brat, work hard to increase your strength. Once you reach the seventh layer of the Altar, you will be able to do whatever you want in this world. No one will be able to kill you."

Guo Shier casually said, "Didn't you also reach the seventh layer before?" As soon as he said that, he regretted it. He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

A Handsome Old Man didn't mind. "No need to apologize. At that time … I had no choice but to risk my life. If I left in time, or if I didn't go … Sigh, never mind, let's not talk about this." When he died, he was already a seventh layer Altar expert. If it weren't for his superb skills that allowed him to retain a part of his soul's memory, he would have been finished.

Guo Shier smiled bitterly. "A seventh layer Altar … How many materials do you need?"

A Handsome Old Man shook his head. "The materials can always be collected. The key is the soul's strength. Without enough soul's strength, you won't be able to advance. The most important thing for an Altar expert is to increase their own soul's strength. Reaching the seventh layer Altar, the soul's strength needed … is very strong. Not to mention the eighth or ninth layer Altar, it's a sea of souls. It's not realistic to rely on one's own cultivation to accumulate enough souls."

Guo Shier said, "Is this the reason why that person started a massacre the moment he came out?"

A Handsome Old Man nodded. "Although this method of obtaining souls is cruel and has many drawbacks, it's the fastest way."

Guo Shier asked, "Obtaining so many souls at once, isn't he afraid that his own soul will be in chaos?"

The handsome old man sighed and said, "It's not like you didn't know how powerful that person's soul was when we were in the magma lake under the pure gold mine. Just a trace of soul pressure that leaked out almost took our lives. His soul is enough to suppress the souls that we obtained."

Guo Shier rubbed his face. He was puzzled. "A Handsome Old Man, is this also your first time seeing such a powerful professional?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "That person is too strong. To be honest … it is indeed my first time seeing one. In our era, there were many Altar experts, but I have never seen one who could reach this level. He is definitely someone who surpasses the ninth layer Altar."

Guo Shi 'er asked, "Can you escape if you run into an expert of the ninth level of the altar?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "If he targets me, it will be very difficult for me to escape. Of course, it's not that I don't have a chance to escape, but it will be very dangerous. Moreover … why would I provoke or anger a ninth layer Altar expert? Unless I don't want to live anymore."

Half a day later, the Falconer and the other two came back.

Nan You said, "Many Altar experts came to the Great Hidden Fortress. All the Ancient Clans have sent people here. There are at least a thousand Altar experts. I heard that many more are on their way here."

Guo Shier was surprised. "Eh, so many?" In the past, it was very rare to see an Altar expert. The Ancient Clans had deep resources, so they could quickly gather so many Altar experts.

A Handsome Old Man sneered. "I know what they are planning."

Guo Shier asked, "Is there any benefit in killing that person?"

A Handsome Old Man said, "Of course, if they can kill that person, his altar will fall and become an inheritance altar, surpassing the ninth layer Altar … it means that they can obtain a higher level inheritance from this altar. This kind of temptation … how many people can resist?"

Guo Shier felt a chill in his heart. Both sides were scheming. One wanted to obtain the soul to increase their strength, and the other wanted to kill the other and obtain the inheritance. This world was really crazy.

"So scary, we won't participate!"

Guo Shier didn't have the slightest bit of greed. He wasn't interested in this kind of benefit.

A Handsome Old Man said, "It's a pity that those professionals don't understand how powerful an expert of this level is."
