Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 520: Throughout history, no one has been able to break the bans set by the Taoist Ancestor.

Chapter 520: 520: Throughout history, no one has been able to break the bans set by the Taoist Ancestor.

"You said someone has the means to kill a Daoist Infant without being restricted by Earth’s prohibitions?"

Murong Mansion.

Upon returning to his own mansion, Envoy Lord Murong Zun, who was in charge of one of the Dragon Nation’s defenses, was promptly reported to by a subordinate.

The subordinate spoke to him about the incident where the Third Young Master Chen of the Chen Family was murdered in a restaurant.

Normally, the death of a member of the Chen Family from the Sixth Layer Cultivation Planet wouldn’t alarm Murong Zun, but the murder of a Daoist Infant on Earth had caught his attention.

Because on Earth, he was supposed to be the only one capable of such a feat.

"Could it be that the Gu Family still has a Protector?" Murong Zun frowned.

On Earth, apart from the inheritors of the Guardian Envoy, there were also the Protectors of the Gu Family, with the first-generation being Guard Wang, who possessed the same incredible abilities as the Guardian Envoy.

At least under the restrictions on Earth, the most powerful were not only the Guardian Envoys of civilization but also the Gu Family’s Protectors, who also possessed Nascent Soul Level strength in the fourth dimension.

However, thousands of years ago, the previous Envoy, who was Murong Zun’s master, personally slew the third-generation Protector of the Gu Family.

Afterward, once he inherited the Envoy’s legacy, there were no more Protectors on this planet who could rival him or influence him.

As everyone knows, whether it be the Envoy Lord or the Protector of the Gu Family, after accepting the will of the Taoist Ancestor, they both only have five thousand years of life span.

Following the fall of the Taoist Ancestor, the first-generation Civilization Guardian Envoy Daniel Liu and the Gu Family’s Protector Guard Wang maintained a good relationship and managed Earth’s affairs without chaos for thousands of years.

The successor chosen by Daniel Liu also upheld his wishes and became a qualified Guardian.

But the third generation, Murong Zun’s master, was full of ambition.

Since his time, he began to collude with major powers outside of Earth.

Initially, the Taoist Ancestor’s Wife, Lin Yue, was the only one unrestricted, and during the three thousand years she lived, no one dared to make a move.

Afterward, Gu Qingxue emerged out of nowhere, holding up the sky for the Gu Family.

In the later years of Gu Qingxue, the third-generation Guardian Envoy, Murong Zun’s master, had taken office.

He was always waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, two thousand years into his term, in the year 12880 of the Cultivation Civilization calendar, Gu Qingxue fell.

And within the next hundred years, after Murong Zun’s master plotted and killed the third-generation Protector of the Gu Family, the family started to decline!

It was also around that time that foreign enemies infiltrated the Gu Mansion and the Compass fragments were all robbed.

Murong Zun’s ambition and methods almost mirrored those of his master, if not even more ruthless.

During his thousand-year reign, he constantly nurtured and promoted his own descendants, already forming a huge clan beyond the domain, and the influence of the Murong Family was no longer confined to Earth.

"A Protector of the Gu Family?" the trusted Guard expressed in surprise, "Didn’t the Envoy Lord personally execute the Gu Family’s Protector back then?"

Murong Zun held his teacup without a word, slowly sipping.

Over these thousands of years and through the operations of two generations of Guardian Envoys, the Murong Family had developed interests and exchanges with other top-tier major families.

If a Gu Family’s Protector really emerged on Earth, for the sake of the offspring of all the major families, he, as the Guardian, must ensure the stability on this side of Earth.

"Go and investigate thoroughly again, try your best to pinpoint exactly who has the means to slaughter life forms above the three-dimensional!"

The Guard received orders, "Yes!"

After the servant left, a descendant of Murong Zun said, "Ancestor, are you not planning to inform the other families about such a major event?"

Murong Zun shook his head, "It’s better not to disturb them. Our family in the Upper Realm is currently facing the challenge of advancing to the 20th Layer Heaven of the Emperor-Sealing Stage. At this time, we still need to rely on the Emperor Level experts of the other families to take your grandfathers to raid the dungeons."

The descendant nodded, "Understood. But if a new Guardian Inheritor from the Gu Family really appears, are we sure we can deal with them?"

"Fear them not," Murong Zun confidently stated, "Do you know what your master killed the Gu Family Protector with back then?"

The descendant of the Murong Family, while pouring tea for his ancestor, shook his head.

Murong Zun explained, "The Civilization Guardians possess a Formation unknown to outsiders, one that, at critical moments, allows the Guardian to burn their own Life Span to activate the Earth restrictions set by the Taoist Ancestor to bring down heavenly punishment specifically aimed at all invaders!"

The eyes of the Murong Family descendant brightened, "No wonder our master’s term didn’t last the full five thousand years."

"Yes, he perished alongside the Protector when he still had over a thousand years left," Murong Zun said with narrowed eyes, "If the Protector really does appear, and if it comes to the point of desperation, for the sake of the Murong Family’s future, I can cut him down just the same!"

"Let’s start by investigating the matter. It is possible that we are worrying unnecessarily."

———

The news of the Third Young Master Chen’s death, of course, could not be concealed from the higher echelons beyond the Cultivation World’s realms.

What was mainly suspicious was the manner of his death.

Earth is the cradle of civilization.

It is a nurturing ground for the descendants of all families.

You must understand that not every generation within a flourishing family produces a prodigy born at the Foundation Establishment Stage, equipped to adapt to life in worlds and realms beyond the stars.

Moreover, on many of the more than twenty Cultivation Planet nations opened up, the dimensional tier is even higher.

Making it even more difficult for an infant to adapt.

And even among hundreds to thousands of descendants within a clan, not everyone will possess a Spirit Root.

The chances for ordinary people are great too, and you can’t just abandon these descendants.

Thus, descendants inevitably have to be raised on Earth for a time.

For this reason, these families have to give some face to Murong Zun as the envoy in order to ensure the well-being of their descendants.

After all, if it weren’t for the assistance from the previous generation’s envoy, they would not have had a chance to contend over the inheritance of the Gu Family.

In his letter, Murong Zun placated them so as not to cause any alarm.

Upon receiving Murong Zun’s letter, several Emperor-Sealing families from outside the realm scoffed.

"A Guardian? Wasn’t that lineage discontinued thousands of years ago? How has one appeared again? Is that crafty old Murong Zun trying to use our descendants to threaten us?"

"The letter doesn’t mention his family members attempting to break through to the 20th Layer Heaven, and yet now is when a Guardian appears? What a coincidence!"

"Isn’t this a way of telling us we should band together to help his family successfully obtain the Emperor-Sealing title?"

Coming from a clan possessing experts at the 25th Layer Heaven Realm, already considered to be among the pinnacle in the Outer Universe, they disdained Murong Zun’s actions, "Grandfather Clan Leader, why not try to break the Earth’s restrictions directly? What public opinion pressure? In this day and age, the strong rule. If we break Earth’s restrictions, won’t we be the ones making the rules?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Do you think no one has tried?" A senior of the 25th Layer Heaven Realm opened his eyes slightly and sneered, "In our eyes, Murong Zun is nothing but a jumping clown. Who wouldn’t want to break those restrictions and be the first to get their hands on Murong Zun if possible? They think we care about him? If only breaking Earth’s restrictions was that simple. Even without it, I could crush their 19th tier Cultivation Planet with one hand! The only reason we give him face is that we can’t break the Earth’s restriction. Even the strongest in the Outer Universe, the currently recognized number one family in the Cultivation World, led by Clan Leader Zhang Ruokai, tried it after breaking through to the 28th Layer Heaven."

He sighed and shook his head, "It was useless!"
