She recalled the scene where her father was knocked away by the palm of Elder Myriad Flow Sect, and the tragic situation of her clansmen being chained up. If it were not for her family, she would rather die here.
"I heard."
The round-faced female disciple lowered her voice, but deliberately let Xie Qingxuan hear her clearly.
"Young Sect Master takes in concubines that are not even one hundred but eighty. Those who are not favored... Hehe, they are not even as good as a guard dog."
The tall and thin female disciple continued.
"Isn't that right? Last month, there was someone who tried to escape, but was rewarded by Young Sect Master to his disciples. That's a tragedy."
Xie Qingxuan was shaking all over, and his stomach was churning.
She stared at herself in the bronze mirror, her eyes full of despair.
Gu Sheng Where are you? She screamed silently in her heart.
Then he thought bitterly.
No, don't come. It's too dangerous here
At this moment, the door opened silently, and a black shadow slid in quietly.
"Who?"
The round-faced female disciple turned around cautiously. Before she finished speaking, a cold light flashed across her face.
The two heads fell to the ground almost at the same time, with crystal frost condensing on the wounds, and not even a drop of blood spilled out.
Xie Qingxuan's eyes widened and he subconsciously covered his mouth.
She saw a woman covered in black gauze standing in the room, with a graceful figure and cold eyes.
"Don't make a sound."
The masked woman whispered, her voice sounding like a clear spring striking a stone.
Immediately afterwards, another woman flashed in.
This woman was also masked, but there was a bit of agility between her brows and eyes.
"Miss Xie, we were sent by the Young Master to rescue you."
She spoke quickly.
"Young master is going to save Xie Family other people, please don't say anything."
Xie Qingxuan's heart is beating wildly.
"Gu Gu Sheng?"
The smart woman Miss Tantai raised her index finger to her lips, with a smile in her eyes.
She was about to say something more when she was stopped by a look from her sister Tantai Bing Tang.
"Hurry up."
Tantai Bing Tang said coldly, raising his hand to put the two corpses into the storage ring.
"It just serves as nourishment for the young master's Heavenly Demon Vine."
Miss Tantai stuck out his tongue, took off his veil, and his appearance began to slowly change.
In a few breaths, she had become exactly like the round-faced female disciple who was killed just now, and even her voice was lifelike.
"Sister, do you look like it?"
Tantai Bing Tang did not answer, but walked up to Xie Qingxuan and took out an ice blue pill.
"Take it."
Xie Qingxuan looked at her hesitantly.
"Eat if you want to live."
Tantai Bing Tang The tone left no room for doubt.
Xie Qingxuan gritted his teeth, took the pill and swallowed it.
The elixir melts in your mouth, and a chill instantly flows throughout your body.
She was surprised to find that the appearance of Tantai Bing Tang in front of her began to distort and change, and finally became exactly like her!
"This"
Xie Qingxuan was shocked and speechless.
Miss Tantai was now a "round-faced female disciple" and handed over a thin mask with a smile.
"Miss Xie, use your true energy to stimulate it, and imagine the person you want to become in the sea of consciousness."
Xie Qingxuan suddenly realized.
"You want Li Daitao to be stiff?"
"Smart."
Miss Tantai nodded approvingly.
"Sister will attend the wedding in your place, and I will take you away. Please disguise yourself, time is running out."
"Thank you, senior sister, put this on."
Tantai Bing Tang's voice suddenly became exactly the same as Xie Qingxuan's, but the tone was stiff and sounded like a command.
She handed over a mask as thin as cicada wings, which had a strange luster in the sun.
Xie Qingxuan was stunned for a moment. The moment his fingers touched the mask, a biting cold feeling spread along his fingertips.
She instinctively wanted to retract her hand, but Tantai Bing Tang grabbed her wrist.
"No time to hesitate."
Although Tantai Bing Tang's voice is imitated perfectly, it has an undeniable sense of oppression.
Xie Qingxuan, took the mask and put it on his face.
In an instant, the mask squirmed like a living thing and quickly covered her entire face.
After a stinging pain, she felt that her facial features were being reshaped.
What was even more astonishing was that the clothes on her body also began to change. The original plain white dress suddenly turned into the standard blue shirt of the Myriad Flow Sect inner disciples.
Xie Qingxuan looked down at his unfamiliar hands. These were clearly the hands of the murdered female disciple!
"What kind of magic weapon is this?"
Xie Qingxuan's voice changed, and she touched her face in horror.
"Thousand Illusions Mask, can imitate anyone's appearance and breath."
Miss Tantai stepped forward and gently pressed Xie Qingxuan's shoulders.
"Senior Sister Xie, there is no need to panic. We have no ill intentions."
Xie Qingxuan took half a step back warily.
"Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"
Miss Tantai smiled slightly, leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Seven years ago, Qingluan Peak, the jade pendant you gave to Gu Sheng had the word 'Xuan' engraved on the back."
Xie Qingxuan's pupils suddenly shrank. Only she and Gu Sheng knew about this!
"Do you believe us now?"
Miss Tantai took a step back, with a sly look in his eyes.
"The purpose of our trip is the same, to stop that beast Qi Yinglong."
Xie Qingxuan was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you."
"Follow me."
Tantai Bing Tang restored his original voice, turned around and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
"Time is running out, Myriad Flow Sect's celebration is about to begin."
The three of them walked quietly through the dense forest and soon arrived near the Myriad Flow Sect mountain gate.
Looking down from a high place, the entire sect was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, beaming with joy.
The disciples with lower status were busy without touching the floor, some were setting up the ceremony table, and some were carrying gifts; while the disciples with higher status were responsible for receiving guests from all walks of life, with fake smiles on their faces.
"Look over there."
Miss Tantai points to the mountain gate.
"That's Qi Yinglong."
Xie Qingxuan looked in the direction of her finger and saw a young man in a luxurious purple robe chatting with the guests.
He has a handsome face and elegant manners, and he doesn't look like a villain who robs women.
"The pinnacle of the sect realm."
Xie Qingxuan felt the powerful aura emanating from the other party and couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Qi Yinglong seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where they were hiding.
Tantai Bing Tang immediately pulled the two of them to squat down and hold their breath.
"He found us?"
Xie Qingxuan asked nervously.
Tantai Bing Tang shook his head.
"It should just be intuition. Thousand Illusions Mask can not only change its appearance, but also hide its aura. As long as we don't actively expose it, he won't be able to detect it."
Sure enough, Qi Yinglong quickly withdrew his gaze and continued talking to the guests.
"Come on, let's sneak in."
Miss Tantai took out two identical masks from his arms and put them on respectively.
In the blink of an eye, she also transformed into another Myriad Flow Sect female disciple.
The three of them took advantage of the crowd's cover and successfully blended into the Myriad Flow Sect.
Along the way, Xie Qingxuan's heart beat like a drum, for fear of being discovered.
But as Sister Tantai said, the effect of Thousand Illusions Mask is astonishing. Even her classmates who are familiar with her on weekdays saluted her and said hello without any suspicion.
"What exactly do you want to do?"
Xie Qingxuan asked in a low voice while no one was paying attention.
Tantai Bing Tang The corner of his mouth raised slightly.
"You'll find out later."
Half an hour later, an elder announced loudly.
"The auspicious time has arrived, please Young Sect Master go to the main hall!"
Qi Yinglong Hearing this, he bowed his hands to greet the guests, then rose into the air and flew towards the sect's main hall.
His figure drew a purple stream of light in the air, attracting countless exclamations.
"We'll go too."
Miss Tantai pulled Xie Qingxuan to keep up with the crowd.
The square in front of the main hall was already filled with guests, including representatives from various sects.
When Qi Yinglong fell from the sky, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Thank you for your honor in participating in this concubine-taking ceremony."
Qi Yinglong stood on the high platform with a smile on his face.
"It's a beautiful day today, why don't we invite the bride out now?"
There was a round of applause from the audience.
Qi Yinglong clapped his hands.
"Bring up the bride!"
Following his order, two female disciples supported a woman wearing a red hijab and walked out slowly.
The woman walked unsteadily and seemed reluctant.
Xie Qingxuan stared at the "bride". That was not her at all! Who is impersonating her?
"Don't worry."
Tantai Bing Tang seemed to see through her thoughts and whispered.
"That's our guy."
At this moment, Xie Qingxuan noticed that the "bride" was wearing a familiar jade bracelet on her wrist, which was a relic left to her by her mother! How did these people get it?
Qi Yinglong had greed in his eyes. He couldn't wait to walk towards the "bride" and reached out to lift the hijab.
"Young Sect Master Wait a minute."
An elder quickly stopped him.
"According to etiquette, you should worship heaven and earth first."
Qi Yinglong frowned impatiently, but still retracted his hand.
"Then hurry up."
Next comes the cumbersome ritual process.
While everyone's attention was focused on the high platform, Tantai Bing Tang quietly stuffed a small bottle into Xie Qingxuan.
"What is this?"
Xie Qingxuan asked in a low voice.
"Illusion Heart Powder, can make people hallucinate."
Tantai Bing Tang explained.
"Listen to my instructions later and scatter it towards Qi Yinglong."
Xie Qingxuan Holds the vial tightly, his heartbeat speeds up.
She didn't know what the sisters' plan was, but now that it was over, she could only take it one step at a time.
Halfway through the ceremony, the guests began to offer congratulatory gifts.
All kinds of rare and exotic treasures were presented to the high platform, and Qi Yinglong thanked them one by one, the smile on his face getting bigger and bigger.
"It seems that after tonight, I will be able to break through to the King Realm."
He whispered to himself, his eyes constantly wandering over the bride.
Qi Yinglong's father, Myriad Flow Sect master Qi Tianqiong, also took the stage to express his thanks.
"Thank you for your generous gifts. Later, our sect will also give each guest a small gift to show our appreciation."
At this moment when the guests and hosts were enjoying themselves, a cold voice suddenly sounded throughout the audience.
"Myriad Flow Sect is holding a happy event, have you ever asked me if I agree?"
The sound was like a thunderous explosion with the blessing of true energy, making people's eardrums hurt.
The square fell silent instantly, and everyone was stunned.
"Who?!"
Qi Yinglong shouted sharply.
"Dare you act wild against me, Myriad Flow Sect!"
Qi Tianqiong's face was as gloomy as water, and the pressure of the King Realm powerhouse instantly enveloped the entire audience.
"Where are you, you bastard, hiding your head and showing your tail! Now come out and confess your crime, I may keep your whole body!"
The voice sounded again, colder than before.
"Qi Laogou, I haven't seen you for seven years, and you are still so arrogant."
Qi Tianqiong's pupils shrank, this voice seemed familiar?
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
He roared angrily, and Wang Jing's momentum exploded, causing the tables and chairs in the square to tremble.
"Get out of here!"
However, the owner of the voice seemed unaffected at all.
"I came here today only for two things. To worship the mountain, and to kill people!"
The last two words were filled with murderous intent, sending chills down the spine of everyone present.
Qi Tianqiong's face changed drastically because he discovered that he could not locate the source of the sound! It was as if the other party did not exist in this space, and no matter how much he searched, he could not find any trace.
"A rat that hides its head but shows its tail dares to act recklessly on me Myriad Flow Sect!"
Sect Leader Qi was so angry that he smashed the red sandalwood table next to him with one palm.
His eyes were like lightning, scanning every corner of the hall, trying to find the source of the voice that dared to provoke the Myriad Flow Sect ceremony.
The guests in the hall were silent, and no one expected that someone would dare to act wild on the Myriad Flow Sect's territory.
Qi Yinglong stood beside his father, his handsome face twisted with anger.
"He Fang Xiaoxiao, you have the guts to show up! What's the point of hiding in the dark?"
There was deathly silence in the hall, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
"As you wish."
Following this indifferent response, a black shadow floated down from the dome of the hall, hovering as lightly as a fallen leaf three feet above everyone's heads.
The man was dressed in black, his face half covered by a silver mask, only revealing a pair of eyes as cold as knives.
"Presumptuous!"
Sect Leader Qi shouted violently, his whole body's spiritual power surged, and spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground of the hall.
"Get off here!"
Gu Sheng remained motionless, looking down at the Myriad Flow Sect crowd with a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth.
"Sect Leader Qi is so majestic, it's a pity"
"What's a pity?"
Qi Yinglong asked sternly, a long sword with cold light appeared in his hand.
"Unfortunately, after today, Myriad Flow Sect will no longer exist."
Gu Sheng's voice was terrifyingly calm, as if he was stating an ordinary fact.
Miss Tantai stood among the guests, his face pale.
She had never seen Gu Sheng look like this. Those eyes that were usually gentle and smiling were now bone-chilling, and the killing intent emanating from her body made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave.
She subconsciously took half a step back and bumped into her sister Tantai Bing Tang's shoulder.
"Sister."
Miss Tantai's voice trembled.
Tantai Bing Tang held down her sister's hand and frowned.
"Don't make a sound."
Xie Qingxuan stood beside the two sisters and was keenly aware that the aura exuding from Gu Sheng was completely different from usual.
She quietly tightened her grip on the dagger in her sleeve, but found that she could not lock on to Gu Sheng's spiritual power fluctuations. This only meant that the other party's cultivation was far beyond her range of perception.
"Arrogant!"
Sect Master Qi was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Come here, take down this crazy man who knows nothing about heaven and earth!"
Following his order, dozens of figures suddenly appeared from all over the Wanliu Sect, each of them exuding powerful spiritual power fluctuations. They were all sect-level experts! They quickly occupied every corner of the hall and surrounded Gu Sheng.
The guests screamed and backed away one after another.
No one expected that Myriad Flow Sect would hide so many masters, let alone anyone who would dare to challenge the entire sect single-handedly.
Faced with dozens of sect realm powerhouses surrounding him, Gu Sheng didn't even raise his eyelids.
He slowly raised his right hand and rubbed his thumb and middle finger gently.
