"Running to the east, very fast."
The old man sneered.
"Chase! No one the cult wants can escape yet."
The three people turned into streams of light and chased after him. However, after chasing for more than half an hour, the compass needle suddenly started to rotate randomly and lost its target.
"How is that possible?"
The young woman was in disbelief.
"Even a strong person in the sect realm can't completely erase the aura!"
The middle-aged man's face was gloomy.
"Unless he has a high-level air control magic weapon, or..."
"Or he has some secret skill that we don't know about."
The old man took over the conversation with fear in his eyes.
"Let's go back and report first, and let the higher-ups of the cult make a decision."
At the same time, Gu Sheng had flown hundreds of miles and crossed the junction between Eastern Wasteland and southern Xinjiang.
He did not go directly to Blazing Sun City, but made a big circle and took a circuitous route from the northwest.
The night wind howled, Gu Sheng was thinking while flying Dunyi.
"Miao Muqing said that Town South King is from the Nanhuang lineage."
Gu Sheng frowned slightly.
"Now that I have parted ways with the Southern Emperor, there is no guarantee that Town South King will not fall out."
"Fellow Daoist Gu, since you are passing by our southern border, why don't you come to Blazing Sun City to talk about it? I have prepared the best spiritual tea and am waiting to entertain my benefactor."
The rich sound was like rolling thunder, penetrating the clouds and reaching Gu Sheng's ears.
He frowned slightly, stopped hiding, and saw a burly figure standing in the air while Cloud Sea was tumbling in front of him, it was Town South King Nangong Tiance.
Gu Sheng looked surprised, then calmed down.
He originally deliberately avoided the route where Blazing Sun City was, but unexpectedly he was intercepted by the other party.
"Prince Nangong, I haven't seen you for many years, and my cultivation has become more and more advanced."
Gu Sheng handed over his hand and spoke calmly.
"It's just that Gu has something important to do and can't stay for a long time. I'll visit you another day."
Nangong Tiance laughed, the sound shook the world.
"Hahaha, what you said by fellow Daoist Gu is obvious. If it hadn't been for your ray of Daoist charm back then, I would still be stuck outside the Human King Realm threshold. I have been thinking about repaying this kindness day and night!"
As he spoke, Nangong Tiance's body flashed and he was within a hundred feet of Gu Sheng.
He is wearing a purple and gold python robe, with a resolute face, eyes like lightning, and a faint dragon-shaped energy surrounding his body, which is the symbol of a strong Earth King Realm.
Gu Sheng was secretly vigilant.
Nangong Tiance's strength is three points stronger than he expected. It seems that he has been cultivated by Nanhuang in recent years.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It was just a simple task back then."
Gu Sheng said calmly.
"If there is nothing else, Gu will leave first."
"Wait!"
Nangong Tiance suddenly stopped smiling and his voice became deeper.
"Why are you in such a hurry, fellow Daoist Gu? I have been entrusted by someone to discuss something with you."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed.
"Oh? I don't know what happened, but the labor prince personally took action?"
Above Cloud Sea, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Nangong Tiance was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"Miao Muqing's soul, please hand it over to fellow Daoist Gu."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop sharply.
Gu Sheng's expression remained unchanged, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
"That's it."
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"I just said how could Nanhuang be so generous? It turns out he is waiting for me here."
Nangong Tiance sighed.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, His Majesty the Southern Emperor has been extremely merciful. As long as you hand over that woman's soul, the past can be wiped out. I have spent all my words to get this opportunity. I hope you will think twice."
Gu Sheng's eyes were like swords, looking directly at Nangong Tiance.
"What if I refuse?"
Nangong Tiance's eyes grew colder.
"Then I have no choice but to offend you. Although Fellow Daoist Gu is kind to me, I can't disobey the emperor's order, so I hope you can forgive me."
"It's hard to disobey an emperor's order."
Gu Sheng shook his head and sighed.
"Nangong Tiance, I gave you a chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Dao Body figures suddenly appeared in the void around him. All black-armored warriors, each holding a blood-red formation flag, formed a trap and kill formation in the blink of an eye, surrounding Gu Sheng.
"Nine Nether Soul Locking Array?"
Gu Sheng looked around, showing a bit of regret.
"Nanhuang is willing to spend money to deal with me."
Nangong Tiance said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, it's still too late to turn back now. Hand over Miao Muqing's soul, and I will guarantee with my life that you will leave Southern Xinjiang safely."
Gu Sheng didn't answer, but took out a jade storage ring from his arms and gently turned it on his fingertips.
The ring glowed brightly in the sunlight, and there seemed to be stars flowing inside.
"Do you recognize this ring?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Nangong Tiance's pupils shrank.
"Is this the one given to you by the Southern Emperor?"
"Not bad."
Gu Sheng sneered.
"From the moment Nanhuang gave it to me, I knew what you were planning. Although the tracking mark in the ring is hidden, it cannot be hidden from my consciousness."
Nangong Tiance's face changed slightly.
"You already knew?"
"I thought Nanhuang would stop after the crisis was over, but I didn't expect it."
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"After all, I underestimated the narrow-mindedness of your Nanhuang lineage."
Nangong Tiance was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and waved.
"Do it!"
Dozens of black-armored warriors activated the formation flags at the same time, and a bloody light curtain rose into the sky, turning into countless chains and wrapping around Gu Sheng.
Each chain is engraved with ancient runes, specifically designed to control the monk's soul.
Facing this fatal situation, Gu Sheng remained motionless and just sighed.
"Nangong Tiance, I gave you a chance."
Before he finished speaking, an invisible soul storm suddenly erupted from Gu Sheng's body.
The storm was invisible and qualityless, but it caused the birds and animals within a hundred miles to freeze at the same time, and even the clouds in the sky were stagnant.
"Be careful! It's a soul attack!"
Nangong Tiance shouted a reminder, and at the same time offered a piece of bronze Ancient Mirror to protect his consciousness.
However, the strange thing is that the soul storm swept through many black-armored warriors, but they were unscathed and still maintained the operation of the formation.
Only Nangong Tiance felt like he was struck by lightning, his body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Poof"
The purple and gold python robe was dyed red with blood. Nangong Tiance was horrified to find that the cultivation he had cultivated for hundreds of years was rapidly passing away.
Earth King Realm's strong spiritual power was like water bursting from a dam, escaping crazily from his body.
"What did you do to me?!"
Nangong Tiance's voice trembled, and he watched helplessly as his cultivation level fell below Human King Realm and continued to fall.
Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes cold.
"It's just taking back what I gave you back then. That rhyme was originally planted by me. Why not take it back now?"
Nangong Tiance's face was ashen, and he finally understood the horror of Gu Sheng. The opponent had already laid a backhand when he broke through. That rhyme enlightenment was both a gift and a shackle!
"No, it's impossible!"
Nangong Tiance roared hysterically.
"I have obviously refined that rhyme!"
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"You thought it was refined? That was just an illusion I caused you to have. Nangong Tiance, I gave you a chance to choose, but it's a pity that you chose the wrong position."
"Boom!"
Nangong Tiance True Essence inside Nangong Tiance suddenly went into chaos, and the aura that was originally as thick as the sea suddenly withered.
His eyes widened, and he felt in disbelief the sharp drop in his cultivation. Human King Realm The ninth level peak, the middle ninth level, and the eighth level peak.
"This is impossible!"
Nangong Tiance looked up suddenly, his eyes bloodshot.
"My cultivation."
Gu Sheng stood with his hands behind his hands, his black robe rustling in the wind, and the corner of his mouth was sarcastic.
"Brother Nangong, it seems you finally discovered it."
"It's you!"
Nangong Tiance's five fingers became claws, True Essence condensed and collapsed in the palm of his hand.
"When you helped me break through, you tampered with Dao Yun!"
Gu Sheng chuckled, but the laughter caused the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.
"Smart. It's a pity it's three years too late."
Nangong Tiance's face was ashen, and his body True Essence was out of control like a wild horse.
He suppressed his shock and anger and said in a cold voice.
"Gu Sheng, what do you want?"
"Easy."
Gu Sheng stretched out three fingers.
"First, send me to Great Desolation City immediately; second, don't make any small moves on the way; third."
A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"When you get to Great Desolation City, I will remove the hidden dangers in your body."
"Dream!"
Nangong Tiance was extremely angry but smiled.
"Do you think you can threaten me with this method? The worst is possible!"
Before he finished speaking, he made a sudden gesture, and nine golden runes appeared around his body.
However, as soon as the rune was formed, it trembled violently, and then shattered with a "pop" sound.
Gu Sheng shook his head and sighed.
"Brother Nangong, don't you understand yet?"
He walked forward slowly, and with every step he took, Nangong Tiance felt a little bit of True Essence being sucked out of his body.
"As long as I have a thought, your cultivation after hundreds of years of hard work will be achieved."
He made a gesture like fireworks.
"Bang!"
Nangong Tiance Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still straightened his back.
"Gu Sheng, I, Nangong Tiance, have been with Southern Region for hundreds of years, and have never been threatened by anyone! Even if my cultivation is completely ruined today, I will drag you to the grave!"
"Oh?"
Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"What about Miao Muqing?"
Nangong Tiance's pupils shrank suddenly.
"How dare you touch her hair?"
"Don't worry."
Gu Sheng adjusted his cuffs slowly.
"I haven't finished speaking yet. Apart from Miao Muqing, what do you think I left on Little Princess, who is from the Nanhuang lineage?"
These words were like thunder.
Nangong Tiance was shaken all over.
"You actually attacked Yuwei?! She is only seven years old!"
Gu Sheng's smile gradually turned cold.
"Three years ago you attacked me while I was in seclusion. Have you ever thought about today?"
He suddenly shouted.
"Kneel down!"
With a "click", Nangong Tiance's knees bent uncontrollably and hit the ground heavily.
He was horrified to find that he was completely unable to resist the will contained in that rhyme.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding warriors drew their swords, but no one dared to step forward.
The air was filled with suffocating pressure.
"Think it through."
Gu Sheng looked down at Nangong Tiance who was kneeling on the ground.
"If I die here today, the last bloodline of the Southern Emperor will die."
He made a motion of wiping his neck.
"And you will become Southern Region a sinner for the ages."
Nangong Tiance His teeth were clenched and his eyes were bloodshot.
For a long time, he hung his head slumped.
". I will take you to the teleportation array."
Blazing Sun City Outside, a golden ray of light pierced the sky.
"Faster."
Gu Sheng stood in front of the escape light, his voice indifferent.
"I'm afraid your cultivation level won't last Great Desolation City."
Nangong Tiance Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his escape was obviously unstable.
"Gu Sheng. How many rhymes have you left in my body?"
"Not much."
Gu Sheng chuckled.
"Just enough to destroy one Human King."
Nangong Tiance felt cold in his heart.
The humble and polite Gu Sheng three years ago was completely different from the devil in front of him who controlled his life and death while talking and laughing.
The outline of Blazing Sun City is approaching, and alarm bells are ringing on the city wall.
Dozens of Dao Body shadows rose into the sky, and the leader, the old man, shouted loudly.
"Who broke into Blazing Sun City!"
"It's me!"
Nangong Tiance forcibly raised True Essence and showed the order of the Southern Emperor.
"Open the teleportation array leading to Great Desolation City immediately!"
The old man suddenly changed his color when he saw the person coming.
"Lord Nangong? What are you doing?"
"Cut the nonsense!"
Nangong Tiance The breath is disordered.
"You can't afford to delay important things!"
The teleportation array is located on the altar in the center of the city. It is made entirely of black jade and is glowing with a faint blue light at the moment.
Nangong Tiance staggered a few steps as soon as he landed, his face as pale as paper. His cultivation level had dropped to Human King sixth level.
"Hurry up!"
He roared at the array mage.
"Teleport to the highest standard, immediately!"
Gu Sheng stood at the center of the formation leisurely and suddenly spoke.
"Brother Nangong, you seem to have forgotten something?"
Nangong Tiance's body stiffened.
". You promised that you would remove Daoyun."
"I mean"
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with amusement.
"You haven't asked about Miao Muqing yet."
Nangong Tiance looked up suddenly.
"What did you do to her?!"
"Don't be nervous."
Gu Sheng stepped into the teleportation array, and white light began to envelope his figure.
"Actually, I never laid a hand on her."
"What?!"
Nangong Tiance is like being struck by lightning.
"Then what you just did."
"A soldier never tires of deceit."
Gu Sheng's voice gradually became ethereal in the transmitted light.
"By the way, I'm telling you that Daoyun still has ten breaths left before he loses control."
Nangong Tiance The blood all over his body solidified instantly.
He frantically urged True Essence to stop the transmission, but saw Gu Sheng finally making a farewell gesture to him.
"Boom"
The moment the transmission was completed, dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Nangong Tiance's body.
He was horrified to find that his body was beginning to lose control, and an energy that could destroy the entire city was gathering crazily in his dantian.
"Boom"
An earth-shaking loud noise tore through the Eastern Wasteland night sky, and Nangong Tiance's body turned into a ball of dazzling white light high in the sky, illuminating the entire Blazing Sun City like the second sun.
The violent energy ripples centered on him and spread crazily in all directions.
"Damn it!"
Tang Muzhi's face changed drastically, and his King Realm cultivation exploded with all his strength. His figure drew an afterimage in the air, and fled madly into the distance.
Wherever the energy ripples passed, the space was distorted and deformed. Blazing Sun City's towering city walls collapsed like paper, and the buildings in the city fell in pieces and turned into dust.
Even though Tang Muzhi had escaped thousands of miles away, the horrific aftermath still caught up with him.
"Poof"
Tang Muzhi laid down seven spiritual barriers one after another, but they all shattered the moment they came into contact with the energy ripples.
He spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his luxurious royal robe was torn, revealing dozens of wounds that were deep enough to show the bones.
"Nangong Tiance this madman!"
Tang Muzhi gritted his teeth, his eyes full of horror.
"The mighty Earth King Realm actually chose to self-destruct!"
He looked back and saw that the once prosperous Blazing Sun City had turned into ruins. The city walls collapsed, the earth cracked, and countless warriors were swallowed up by the energy before they could even scream.
Even if Nangong Tiance self-destructed at an altitude of tens of thousands of feet, the aftermath still caused such horrific damage.
