After Zhu Qiu left, Chen Yilu was the only one left in the huge Gu Mansion.

The servants in the mansion had been dismissed by her several years ago.

As a strong person on the Earth List, she shouldn't have lived this kind of life.

But Chen Yilu never regretted her decision from beginning to end.

After making sure that there was no one around, she entered a ancestral hall in the deepest part of the house.

Chen Yilu waved her hand, and the originally dark ancestral hall suddenly became brightly lit.

Right in front of the ancestral hall, there was a large solid wooden table about three meters long.

On the big table, there are hundreds of tablets densely packed together.

Without exception, every name on the tablet is an ancestor of the Chen family.

The most eye-catching one among them is the one with the oldest age and the most prominent status.

There were a few powerful words written on the tablet.

"The eldest lady's housekeeper, the ancestor of the Chen family - Chen Xunzhi."

Looking at the first six words on the tablet, Chen Yilu couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly.

Even the tablet of my ancestor is written so strangely.

How loyal he is to that young lady.

Thinking of this, Chen Yilu smiled and shook her head, then raised her head and looked at the wall above all the tablets.

But on the wall in front of these ancestors of the Chen family, there is a portrait of a person hanging.

I saw that man with a cold face, standing in the air in a white robe, with a bright moon shining on the world above the three-foot long sword in his hand.

On the lower right corner of the scroll, it was written:

The eldest daughter of the Gu family, with the appearance of Mingyue Sword and Gu Gu Gu.

Chen Yilu stared at the painting in front of her in a daze.

Although it was just a scroll painting, the temperament of the person in the painting made her yearn for it every time she looked at it.

Chen Yilu has heard the legend about the eldest lady countless times since she was a child.

It was precisely because of her yearning for those legends that she chose the sword as her weapon.

It's a pity that although her talent is outstanding, it is not even one-tenth of that young lady's.

If the records are true, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, at the age of only twenty, broke through the void and ascended into the upper realm.

Twenty years old, what kind of concept is this?

Thousands of years have passed since the eldest lady ascended to heaven.

But till today, there has not been a single Ascendant whose age can match that of the eldest lady.

Even the ascender ranked second in talent ascended at the age of sixty.

This cliff-like lead is enough to show how talented the eldest daughter of the Gu family was.

No wonder his ancestors, even on the tablet after death, put the words "the eldest lady's housekeeper" before "the ancestor of the Chen family".

This kind of glorious thing, let alone one's own ancestors, anyone would talk about it every day and tell it to everyone they meet.

Thinking of this, a rare smile appeared on Chen Yilu's face.

But then, when she thought about her family's future situation, the smile on her face began to slowly disappear.

Now, the glorious days have passed, and she is faced with a dilemma.

Chen Yilu waved her hand, and a unique aura instantly appeared in her palm.

Then, the scroll depicting Gu Gu's appearance suddenly began to move without wind.

The next second, the bright moon on the long sword in Gu Gugu's hand in the scroll suddenly emitted bursts of bright moonlight.

A bright moon actually flew out of the painting.

If other people saw this scene, they would be shocked.

But Chen Yilu remained extremely calm when she saw this, obviously having seen this scene many times.

The bright moon emitted waves of moonlight until it floated to Chen Yilu's palm, then slowly stopped and the light on it gradually began to dissipate.

After the moonlight faded, a faint sword energy appeared in Chen Yilu's palm.

This sword energy was exactly the same sword energy that Gu Gugu had left behind before leaving Small World No. 9.

As thousands of years passed, everything changed dramatically.

However, this sharp sword energy was exactly the same as when Gu Gugu ascended to heaven.

Chen Yilu's lips became a little dry as she quietly looked at the sword energy in front of her that made her heart beat faster by countless times.

Her instinct wanted her to feel the sword energy.

Not only her, but anyone who learns sword will feel endless greed as soon as they feel this sword energy.

Because this sword energy contains the understanding of swordsmanship by the youngest ascender in history.

Even Chen Yilu wished she could refine this sword energy directly at this moment.

But she didn't do that.

Because according to what our ancestor Chen Xun left behind, this sword energy was left by the eldest lady to the next successor.

Although thousands of years have passed, the successor has never appeared.

But those things had nothing to do with the Chen family. They only had to do one thing.

That is to protect this sword energy.

Chen Yilu took a deep breath, carefully put away the sword energy, then sat cross-legged on the cushion in the ancestral hall and began to adjust her state.

If nothing unexpected happens, those people will really take action at midnight tonight.

If I really die in battle tonight, I will destroy this sword energy before I die.

Thinking of this, Chen Yilu slowly closed her eyes and entered a state of regulating her breathing...

Time flies, and a few hours are just a moment.

The sky around was dim and the pedestrians on the street had long since returned home. Only the crickets, hiding somewhere, were still chirping non-stop.

Suddenly, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the Gu family’s mansion.

Chen Yilu's eyes suddenly opened.

coming!

She didn't say anything, but reached out and drew the sword from her waist.

At this time, the sounds outside had already reached the ancestral hall.

"Chen Yilu, it's midnight."

"Have you made your decision?"

Chen Yilu walked out of the ancestral hall in silence, the long sword in her hand emitting bursts of cold light under the moonlight.

She raised her head and looked at the three figures on the roof not far away, with a disdainful sneer on her lips.

"Young Prince, since you already know the answer, why ask more questions?"

Hearing Chen Yilu's reply, the young man in the middle of the three people grinned.

"Okay, I have the guts."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand casually at the two people beside him, speaking in a cold tone.

"Kill her and take that sword energy from me!"
