"Crack!"
The crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed in the hall.
In an instant, countless dark blue flowers bloomed out of thin air, floating in the air like a dream.
Each flower is crystal clear, with a strange luster flowing on its petals, and an intoxicating fragrance.
"This is."
Tantai Bing Tang's pupils shrank suddenly.
The moment the fragrance of flowers filled the air, everyone in the hall froze and their expressions became dull and confused.
The strong men in the sect who were preparing to attack Gu Sheng suddenly stopped, their eyes blurred, as if their souls had been taken away.
Xie Qingxuan was surprised to find that he and the Tantai sisters were not affected by the fragrance of flowers.
She suddenly remembered the pill that Gu Sheng had given them before, and she immediately understood that it was the antidote!
"Ah!"
A scream broke the silence.
I saw an Myriad Flow Sect elder suddenly seeping Black Blood from his seven orifices, and his body collapsed to the ground like mud.
Immediately afterwards, the second and third Myriad Flow Sect people, including Sect Master Qi and Qi Yinglong, began to bleed from their orifices and their faces were distorted.
Sect Leader Qi reluctantly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
"North Northern Star Flower. You. You are"
Before he finished speaking, his body collapsed like a sand tower, and his flesh and blood corroded and melted at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, only a withered skeleton was left, which was turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Tantai Bing Tang took a breath and murmured softly.
"Northern Star Flower opens the day, Great Emperor breaks the soul."
Xie Qingxuan looked at the scene in front of him in shock.
"What kind of evil magic is this?"
"It's not magic."
Tantai Bing Tang's voice trembled.
"It's the Northern Star Sect sect's secret skill 'Northern Star Soul Severing Incense' that has been lost for thousands of years."
Gu Sheng took out a white pill from the storage ring, smashed it gently, and sprinkled the powder to the guests in the palace.
The stunned guests immediately stopped bleeding from their orifices, but were still in a trance.
"Bing Tang."
Gu Sheng's voice suddenly sounded in Tantai Bing Tang's mind.
"Take them away."
Tantai Bing Tang took a deep look at Gu Sheng and took the hands of his sister and Xie Qingxuan.
"Let's go!"
The three of them quickly rushed outside the palace.
Xie Qingxuan looked back and saw Gu Sheng floating quietly in the middle of the sea of flowers. The silver mask reflected the cold light, like a ruthless god of death.
"Who the hell is he?"
Xie Qingxuan couldn't help but ask.
Tantai Bing Tang didn't answer, but only quickened his pace.
As soon as the three of them flew out of the Myriad Flow Sect mountain gate, a strange buzzing sound came from behind them.
Miss Tantai couldn't help but turn around, and saw that the entire sky above Myriad Flow Sect was shrouded in a sea of dark blue flowers. It was breathtakingly beautiful, but also revealed an indescribable weirdness.
"Stop looking."
Tantai Bing Tang grabbed his sister.
"We have to leave the Tiancheng area as soon as possible."
Xie Qingxuan frowned.
"Those guests."
"Gu Sheng has given them the antidote."
Tantai Bing Tang said in a deep voice.
"Only people from the Myriad Flow Sect died."
The three of them galloped all the way and soon arrived at a hidden cave on the outskirts of the city.
The teleportation array had already been arranged in the cave. Tantai Bing Tang activated the array skillfully, and the three figures disappeared instantly.
When the light dissipated, they were already in an unknown valley thousands of miles away.
Miss Tantai finally couldn't help crying.
"Brother Gu, he killed so many people."
Tantai Bing Tang stroked his sister's hair with a complicated expression.
"That's not Gu Sheng."
"What do you mean?"
Xie Qingxuan asked alertly.
"In other words, it's not just Gu Sheng."
Tantai Bing Tang looks into the distance.
"Northern Star Flower is the secret that Northern Star Sect has never told, and Northern Star Sect was exterminated thousands of years ago."
Xie Qingxuan's pupils shrank.
"You mean"
"Gu Sheng carries a heavier past than we imagined."
Tantai Bing Tang said softly.
"What happened today is probably just the beginning."
At the same time, in the Myriad Flow Sect, the guests who were intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers woke up one after another.
"What's wrong with me?"
An elder from the sect rubbed his temples and looked around blankly.
When he saw the surrounding scene clearly, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Myriad Flow Sect people's clothes were lying everywhere in the hall, but the people who were supposed to be in the clothes had turned into ashes and scattered in the wind.
"Myriad Flow Sect was exterminated?"
Someone said tremblingly.
Everyone was horrified to find that no one in the entire Myriad Flow Sect, from the sect leader to the handymen, was spared.
Those once mighty men who were all-powerful are now just piles of clothes and ashes.
"It's those flowers!"
A female nun suddenly screamed.
"I saw blue flowers before I passed out!"
"But why are we okay?"
Someone asked.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one could explain why only Myriad Flow Sect people suffered.
"Great Desolation Sacred Academy must be notified immediately!"
An older monk said solemnly.
"Myriad Flow Sect's family was wiped out. This is a major event that shocked the entire Great Wilderness!"
"And the man in the mask"
Someone added.
"He can destroy the entire Myriad Flow Sect in a snap of his fingers, if he does evil intentionally."
Everyone shuddered.
Soon, the news spread like wildfire throughout Great Wilderness.
The news that Myriad Flow Sect was wiped out by a mysterious man shocked the entire spiritual world, and the mysterious man known as "Northern Star Flower Master" became a person talked about by all the major sects.
In the valley thousands of miles away, Gu Sheng stood quietly in front of the waterfall, looking at the curtain of water flowing down.
The silver mask has been taken off, revealing a handsome but cold face.
"Northern Star Sect's revenge has finally been partially avenged."
He whispered to himself, with pain in his eyes.
"Father, mother, your souls in heaven can rest in peace."
There were footsteps behind him, and Gu Sheng didn't look back.
"Brother Gu"
Miss Tantai called timidly.
Gu Sheng When he turned around, the coldness in his eyes had faded away, and he returned to his usual gentle appearance.
"Xue Li, are you scared?"
Miss Tantai bit his lip, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Will you still kill people?"
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment and said softly.
"Some people have to pay a price."
Tantai Bing Tang stepped forward and looked directly into Gu Sheng's eyes.
"What's the grudge between the Northern Star Sect and Myriad Flow Sect?"
Gu Sheng looked into the distance with a low voice.
"Twenty years ago, Myriad Flow Sect joined forces with Seven Great Sects to bloodbath three thousand people of the Northern Star Sect, just to seize "Northern Star Heavenly Scripture". My parents died to protect the sect, and I am the only survivor."
Xie Qingxuan took a deep breath.
"So today."
"Today is just the beginning."
Gu Sheng's eyes flashed coldly.
"Also Seven Great Sects, blood debt must be paid with blood."
Tantai Bing Tang looked complicated.
"You plan"
"You don't have to get involved."
Gu Sheng interrupted her.
"I will walk the rest of the way myself."
"No!"
Miss Tantai suddenly rushed forward and hugged Gu Sheng's arm.
"I won't leave you alone!"
Gu Sheng was stunned and looked down at this timid little girl.
Tantai Bing Tang sighed.
"Xue Li is right, we will not abandon you."
Xie Qingxuan stood with arms folded and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"I don't have anywhere to go anyway, so I might as well follow you and watch the fun."
Gu Sheng looked at the firm eyes of the three people, and his cold heart seemed to be touched by something.
He nodded slightly.
"Okay, but the road ahead will be very dangerous."
Everyone arrived at the Linlang Pavilion in silence. The sound of footsteps echoed on the bluestone, but no one spoke.
Gu Sheng was walking in the front, his black robe was windless and there was a suffocating chill lingering around him.
Tantai Bing Tang followed him three steps away, his cold eyes glancing at Gu Sheng's tall back from time to time, with doubts in his eyes.
"What's wrong with this guy?"
Tantai Bing Tang thought to himself.
She had never seen Gu Sheng in such a state. Not angry, not sad, but an eerie calm, like the dead silence before the storm.
Miss Tantai couldn't help but take two quick steps and tugged on her sister's sleeve.
"Sister, please take care of him."
"Silence."
Tantai Bing Tang shook his head slightly and signaled his sister not to ask any more questions with his eyes.
She could feel that Gu Sheng at this moment was like a suppressed volcano that might erupt at any time.
Passing through the Linlang Pavilion main hall, everyone went down the spiral stone steps.
The deeper you go, the colder and damper the air becomes, and the luminous pearls on the walls cast a pale light.
Xie Qingxuan walked at the end, holding the corners of his clothes tightly with his hands, his knuckles turning white.
She always felt like something terrible was about to be revealed.
"Arrived."
Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice was too hoarse to be his own.
Tantai Bing Tang quickly stepped forward, formed seals with his hands, and blasted spiritual power into the surrounding walls.
In an instant, complex formations lit up, covering the entire underground space.
"Can we talk now?"
Miss Tantai couldn't help but ask, she really couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere.
"What happened?"
Gu Sheng did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Xie Qingxuan who was shivering in the corner.
There was pity in those eyes?
"Thank you, girl."
Gu Sheng said softly.
"I brought everyone from the Xie Family."
Xie Qingxuan trembled all over, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.
"Gu, what do you mean, Mr. Gu?"
Gu Sheng raised his right hand, and the storage ring flashed with a faint light.
The next moment, dozens of Dao Body figures appeared out of thin air in the center of the hall, arranged neatly, but motionless.
"Dad! Mom!"
Xie Qingxuan screamed and pounced on the two corpses at the front.
When she saw clearly the pale face of her relative and the strange blood lines on her eyebrows, her whole body felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she collapsed to the ground.
Tantai Bing Tang's pupils shrank suddenly.
"This is the corpse puppet refining technique!"
She quickly stepped forward to check, and her fingertips were placed between the Xie Family's eyebrows, and the blood lines actually squirmed like a living thing.
"And it is an evil cultivation method. It will take at least seven or forty-nine days to complete the transformation."
"More than that."
Gu Sheng's voice was cold.
"Three souls and seven souls were taken away from them, and they didn't even have a chance to be reincarnated."
Xie Qingxuan heard this and let out a heart-rending wail, with tears pouring out like a bursting dam.
Miss Tantai quickly stepped forward to hug her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
"I need to talk alone."
Gu Sheng looked at Tantai Bing Tang.
"Let Xue Li take care of Miss Xie."
Tantai Bing Tang took a deep look at Gu Sheng and nodded.
"Follow me."
The two passed through several secret doors and arrived at a stone room deep underground.
Tantai Bing Tang once again placed a triple ban, and then turned to face Gu Sheng.
"You can say it now."
Gu Sheng, took out a picture stone from his arms.
Infused with spiritual power, a picture was projected on the stone. It was a scene deep in the Myriad Flow Sect. Countless baby corpses were piled up like a mountain, and each eyebrow bore the same blood lines.
"This is."
Tantai Bing Tang turned pale.
"Innate Qi."
Gu Sheng has a deep voice.
"Myriad Flow Sect discovered that newborn babies contain the purest innate energy, which can make up for the lack of warrior qualifications."
The screen changed, showing the scene of the Myriad Flow Sect disciples receiving their "salary". They respectfully took the package from the elder's hand, and when they opened it, it was revealed to be the body of a baby!
"Outer disciples have one per month, and inner disciples have three."
Gu Sheng's fists clenched loudly.
"These beasts are distributing infant corpses like magic elixirs!"
The cold moonlight shines through the broken window lattice, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
Tantai Bing Tang stood in the center of the room, with twelve baby corpses arranged neatly at his feet.
These little bodies are preserved lifelike by some secret method, and their skin glows with a strange pink-white sheen, as if they were just asleep.
"Myriad Flow Sect"
She gritted her teeth and dug her nails into her palms.
"It should be destroyed."
The air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, mixed with some fishy-sweet smell that she couldn't place.
Tantai Bing Tang squatted down and touched one of the babies' cheek lightly with his fingertips.
The touch was cold and soft, making her stomach lurch.
"The living baby was used to make elixirs, and it's still so well preserved."
She sneered, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
"It's too cheap for them to be buried under Northern Star Flower."
"Do you know Northern Star Flower?"
A deep voice suddenly came from behind.
Tantai Bing Tang was frozen, and she didn't notice anyone approaching.
Turning around suddenly, I saw a man in a dark robe leaning against the door frame, the moonlight coating him with a layer of silver.
The man was about twenty-seven or eighty years old, with a handsome face but a bit of tiredness.
The most eye-catching thing was his eyes. They were as black as ink and bottomless, as if they could swallow up all light.
"Gu Sheng."
Tantai Bing Tang narrowed his eyes and took half a step back warily.
"When did you come?"
Gu Sheng walked into the room casually, his boots making no sound when he stepped on the ground.
His eyes swept over the baby on the ground without any fluctuation in his expression, and finally settled on the face of Tantai Bing Tang.
"I'm asking you if you know Northern Star Flower."
he repeated, his voice eerily calm.
Tantai Bing Tang felt an invisible pressure covering his whole body, as if he was being targeted by some ancient ferocious beast.
She tensed her body instinctively, and the energy in her body was running wildly, but she found that she couldn't even think of resisting.
This feeling is like facing an emperor.
"I"
Her throat tightened and she forced herself to look into those dark eyes.
"I once saw it in an ancient book. Northern Star Flower is the unique method of Alchemy Emperor Qin Beichen. It is said that it can burn away all the filth in the world. No one has seen it except the legendary Emperor Venerable."
Gu Sheng The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
He didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, as if waiting for something.
The room fell into an eerie silence.
Tantai Bing Tang could hear his rapid heartbeat, and cold sweat slid down his back.
She had never felt the threat of death so clearly before. The man in front of her could make her disappear with just one thought.
"You"
She finally broke the silence and took the initiative to look away.
