Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Chapter 225 Ambush

The leading general is General Shen, a high-ranking member of the Shen family.

The Shen family, though merely a prominent family, possessed a peak Nascent Soul cultivator. Their patriarch, for some unknown reason, insisted on finding this fox demon, a search that had dragged on for centuries. Xiao Wei's fate five hundred years ago was also inextricably linked to them.

After escaping, Gu Yuchuan flew towards Grandpa Xiaohua's grave. He was very fast this time, as he couldn't be sure if the generals knew about the news. If they did, it would be very dangerous if he arrived too late.

But in reality, even if he arrived early, he wouldn't be that safe. After all, General Shen and his group had ways to contact powerful figures in their clans. Once they relayed the information, they didn't need to worry about the rest.

The Shen family. Inside the magnificent palace, a middle-aged man with a solemn expression sat at the head of the table; his face was extremely grim.

"Fox demon Xiaowei, you truly live up to your reputation as a spirit evolved from the destiny of the demon race. Even when you fall into calamity, you are still so difficult to kill. Five hundred years ago, the world's destiny helped you escape to another world. Now you must return. This time, I must devour you so that I too may have the possibility of advancing to the Nascent Soul stage."

I never imagined that Xiao Wei's background was so extraordinary. When a race's fortune evolves to a certain level, geniuses carrying that fortune will emerge. These geniuses, to a certain extent, represent the fate of their race. They often make rapid progress in their cultivation, but after reaching a certain level, they will encounter a series of trials. If they overcome these trials, their future will be smooth sailing, and their race may even experience a major breakthrough. However, if they fail to overcome these trials, their race's fortune will be wasted, or even severely damaged.

The ancestor of the Shen family was scheming to seize this fortune. He had been at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage for many years, but he could never advance to the Divine Transformation stage. Ultimately, it was because his fortune was insufficient. At this level, it was no longer simply a matter of magical power that determined whether one's cultivation would increase; fortune was the most important factor. The fortune of the Shen family could not allow him to advance any further. Five hundred years ago, he accidentally learned of Xiao Wei's identity, which is why he plotted so much.

However, Xiao Wei still managed to escape. At the last moment, the demon race's fortune transformed into a secret realm, allowing Xiao Wei to escape to the Azure Cloud Realm. However, this secret realm also became a prison for Xiao Wei, forcing her to slowly heal her injuries over the years until her lifespan was about to end, at which point she had no choice but to make a final stand.

Gu Yuchuan arrived in Chuancheng quickly. Xiaohua's grandfather's grave was located here. However, the Shen family arrived even faster. This was not the Shen family's territory, and the Shen family could no longer control everything. Therefore, they could only send three mid-stage Golden Core cultivators together to find Xiaowei's location.

These three are all prodigies of the Shen family, brothers of the same generation: Shen Yannian, Shen Yanbian, and Shen Yan'an. They have already laid an ambush here. They have been using a teleportation array, which cost a lot of money, and will make them much faster than Gu Yuchuan.

When Gu Yuchuan arrived at the cemetery, they were already there, and a tight net had completely surrounded him.

Gu Yuchuan's face turned very pale. He had acted very quickly, but the result was the same as in the simulator: he was surrounded. However, when he saw that there were only three people, he breathed a sigh of relief. In the simulator, he died from being ganged up on by six people. These three people might not be able to kill him.

However, after clearly seeing the aura of the three, he was still somewhat at a loss. He couldn't discern their exact cultivation levels, only sensing that they were all mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, though he didn't know their specific level. The eldest brother, Shen Yannian, was a fifth-stage Golden Core cultivator, while his two younger brothers, Shen Yanbian and Shen Yan'an, were both fourth-stage Golden Core cultivators. Even so, their raw cultivation was far superior to Gu Yuchuan's.

However, this shouldn't boost others' morale while diminishing our own. It seems that although there's a significant difference in their cultivation levels, the outcome of a real fight is uncertain. Gu Yuchuan always had strong confidence in himself.

Shen Yannian's eyes lit up when he saw Gu Yuchuan: "Demon, the three of us brothers have been waiting for you for a long time. I advise you to kneel down and surrender as soon as possible. As long as you lead us to find the fox demon and cooperate with us to kill it, our ancestor said that we can give you a chance to become a demon beast of our Shen family. We will definitely not kill you!"

Gu Yuchuan spat directly, "What nonsense! You dare to dream of making me your demon pet? You all overestimate yourselves! You really think you can have me wrapped around your little finger? I think you're just frogs in a well, completely ignorant. You want me to be your demon pet? Open your dog eyes and see if you're worthy!"

The three Shen brothers also felt insulted. Although the demon race was stronger in this world, it was not to the point that the demon race could cover the sky. Their Shen family had a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, so they were naturally local bullies in their own territory. They had never been bullied by the demon race before, so being insulted like this suddenly made them furious.

"You little monster, such arrogance! You're just a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core stage. The three of us brothers are all mid-stage Golden Core cultivators. Killing you is as easy as killing a dog. Since you're so stubborn, we'll just have to teach you a lesson. When you've suffered enough, you'll naturally tell us everything and won't have your arrogance anymore."

Gu Yuchuan felt a surge of anger. He hadn't seen such arrogant people in a long time. He had seen many geniuses, but he had never seen anyone as arrogant as them before. It was truly outrageous.

"If you're so capable, just do it. There's no need to keep babbling on here."

After Gu Yuchuan finished speaking, he began to circulate his magic power. He was angry, but he also knew that his opponents were all cultivators in the middle stage of the Golden Core realm, whose cultivation level was much higher than his. He knew that this battle would be very difficult. However, he was not afraid. After all, what he wanted to do was not to kill them, but to get Xiao Wei's other half of her tail. He was not afraid.

The three Shen brothers were also channeling their magical power, hoping for a swift victory.

For a moment, both sides adopted a fighting stance, and the two groups of magical power clashed in the air, but Gu Yuchuan's side was clearly at a slight disadvantage.

He directly unleashed his Myriad Dragons Diagram. With the help of his natal magic weapon and the amplification of the Six-Turn Golden Elixir, the magical power and aura behind him suddenly increased significantly, giving him the potential to contend with them on equal footing.

The three brothers truly felt the pressure, and they became even more serious. The great battle was finally about to begin.
