"Pfft——!"
Xiao Beixuan's body shook violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
He stared at the compass that had become completely silent. His face showed unbelievable shock at first, and then turned into overwhelming rage and ferocity!
"Who?! Who did this?!"
He let out a roar, and the violent Human King Realm energy exploded uncontrollably!
The entire hall was shaking violently, the ground was cracking, and gravel was falling!
"The sacrifices... were all destroyed?!"
The young man with the backup formation eye (a disciple of Styx) standing not far behind him also sensed the feedback of the restriction. The color on his face instantly faded, and his eyes were filled with extreme shock!
But beneath this shock, unspeakable ecstasy quickly passed by!
All the sacrifices were destroyed, which meant that the formation could not be activated. He... no longer had to be the one who was destined to die!
His weak mood swings could not escape the furious Xiao Beixuan!
"Trash! What are you happy about?!"
Xiao Beixuan appeared in front of the young man, with crazy anger burning in his eyes. He raised his hand and slapped True Essence with violence!
Snap!
A crisp sound! The young man had no time to react. He was violently slapped and flew out, hitting the hard pillars of the palace!
Blood spurted out from the mouth, half of the cheek was instantly red, swollen and deformed, and several teeth were lost!
He curled up on the ground, twitching in pain, his eyes full of fear and resentment, but he didn't dare to resist at all.
"Send the order!!"
Xiao Beixuan Without looking at the young man on the ground, he roared loudly. The sound penetrated the hall and resounded throughout the Hall of a Thousand Souls core area.
"All Boundless Sect disciples! All offerings! Immediately! Immediately! Surround the sacrifice square for me! Block all exits! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must dig out the bastard who ruined my sacrifice! I will... cut him into pieces! Extract his soul and refine his soul!"
His command sounded like thunder.
The young man endured the severe pain and humiliation, struggled to take out a strange-shaped bronze bell from his arms, and shook it hard with a fierce look in his eyes!
Jingle bell—!
The crisp yet eerily penetrating ringtone instantly spread to all directions! This is the highest level of summons!
In an instant, everywhere Hall of a Thousand Souls, countless Dao Body figures were like sharks smelling blood, swarming out from every corner, passage, and side hall!
There were disciples wearing Boundless Sect costumes, evil cultivators with cold auras offering sacrifices, and several figures emitting powerful auras rising out of the sky and converging rapidly towards the Sacrifice Square!
The entire core area of the secret realm was instantly enveloped in a chilling and violent aura!
In the Sacrificial Square.
Gu Sheng already realized something was wrong the moment he sensed Heavenly Demon Vine's abnormal movement and life force being extracted.
When the strong smell of blood rose into the sky, he knew it all - exposed!
"Let's go!"
He did not hesitate, his mind changed quickly, and he forcibly suppressed Heavenly Demon Vine, who was on the verge of advancement and seemed extremely excited and greedy!
The golden-red light on the left arm instantly converged, and the vines that were frantically devouring flesh, blood, and vitality seemed to be pulled by invisible forces. They screamed, quickly retracted to the ground, and disappeared.
Gu Sheng didn't even look at the bloody scene behind him. He suddenly stood up from the ground and turned into a blur of light. He ran towards the depths of the secret realm that looked relatively empty away from the main hall and ran with all his strength in the air!
He was extremely fast, pushing Human King Realm's speed to the extreme, and his figure drew a long afterimage in the dim sky.
The direction he chose did not seem to be the area where Boundless Sect focused on defense.
After driving for dozens of miles, below were rolling black mountains and bottomless ravines. The air was filled with a strong evil spirit, and the environment was harsh.
On the way, he only encountered a few waves of low-level disciples from the Boundless Sect who were responsible for peripheral security.
These disciples had obviously not received the order from the core area. When they saw Gu Sheng, a strange and powerful man, passing by in the air, they just looked up in confusion, and some even tried to ask aloud.
But Gu Sheng was too fast and ignored it at all, disappearing from their sight in an instant.
"It seems that the order from the main palace has not been fully conveyed to the periphery."
Gu Sheng felt a little calmer, but his vigilance did not diminish at all.
He knew that the real main force of the encirclement and suppression must be concentrated in the core area and near the square, and the looseness on the periphery was only temporary.
He must find a relatively safe place as soon as possible to deal with Heavenly Demon Vine's abnormal situation first, and then plan later.
Just as he flew over a valley filled with rugged rocks and black mist, a sudden change occurred!
"Hmph! You destroyed my sacrifice and you still want to escape?!"
A cold scream sounded in the valley below!
Immediately afterwards, three figures exuding a tyrannical aura soared into the sky from the diffuse black fog, instantly forming a glyph shape and blocking the front of Gu Sheng!
The leader was short and thin, wearing a wide black robe, with a pale Ghost Face Mask face, only revealing a pair of eyes with a faint green light.
There was a faint black air surrounding him, and the aura he exuded was cold and strange. He was also a Human King Realm strong man!
Its cultivation level fluctuates, and it seems to be even stronger than the previous Blood Jade!
The person on the left is tall and muscular. His naked upper body is covered with ferocious tattoos. He has a bloodthirsty smile on his face. He is holding a black giant ax the size of a door panel in his hand. His aura is wild and violent. He is also Human King Realm!
The person on the right is a coquettish woman, wearing a revealing red gauze skirt. She has a graceful figure, but her eyes are cold.
She was playing with a bone flute wrapped in black air in her hand. Although the air was not as solid as the first two, it still reached the threshold of the Human King Realm!
These three people are the leaders of three elite teams sent by Xiao Beixuan!
After receiving the summoning order from the copper bell, they did not rush to the square immediately. Instead, based on the previous clues that Blood Jade had lost contact, while searching at the edge of the East District, they happened to sense the powerful aura and direction of Gu Sheng flying through the air, and immediately chased after him!
"Boy! Are you the one who destroyed the young master's sacrifice? You are so courageous!"
The sound of the strong man carrying the giant ax was like a bell. The giant ax was pointed at Gu Sheng in the distance, and the violent murderous intent was pressing towards him.
"What nonsense are you talking to him about! If you dare to ruin His Majesty's plan, you will die!"
Ghost Face Mask's voice was hoarse, like metal friction, with a biting chill.
Black energy surged around him, and there was a faint sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The charming woman giggled, her voice charming but poisonous.
"Brother, seeing how you have such tender skin and tender flesh, why don't you let your sister pamper you and then send you on your way?"
The bone flute in her hand swayed slightly, and an invisible wave of confusion spread quietly.
Gu Sheng's figure suddenly stopped, suspended in mid-air.
He looked at the three people standing in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes cold.
Three Human King Realm! And judging from the aura, he is definitely not a mediocre person who is new to this realm!
Especially the Ghost Face Mask person gave him the most dangerous feeling.
He slowly glanced around.
Below is a bottomless valley filled with black mist. Behind is the way we came from, but I am afraid that pursuers are coming at this moment.
On the left and right sides are steep black cliffs with jagged rocks and nowhere to hide.
There are strong enemies blocking the way in front, pursuing troops coming behind, and there are cliffs and deep valleys to the left and right!
Gu Sheng slowly clenched his fists, and True Essence inside his body started to surge like a silent volcano.
His eyes were like lightning, locked on the Ghost Face Mask person, and his voice was so calm that there was no wave.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die."
Gu Sheng galloped through the air, his eyes as sharp as a falcon, scanning the secret land below.
He noticed that the Boundless Sect disciples who were originally scattered throughout the secret realm and were responsible for guarding and searching were in a hurry and were quickly converging towards the core area.
Even if occasionally a disciple noticed his figure passing by in the air, they only cast a wary or doubtful glance, but did not intercept him, and no one called him to warn him.
"Sure enough! Xiao Beixuan can sense the life and death of the sacrifices! If all the sacrifices are destroyed, he will definitely be furious and is mobilizing all hands to encircle and suppress the core area!"
Gu Sheng understood clearly and was even more sure of his previous judgment.
By destroying the sacrifice, he directly stung a hornet's nest. At this moment, the core area must be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, where experts gather.
Although he is not afraid, he is not willing to fall into a tight siege immediately.
The top priority is to find Zhao Boyang and his party! There is also the mysterious and dangerous Jin'er who may be even more dangerous than Xiao Beixuan!
In his mind, he quickly recalled the cave location where he and Zhao Boyang and others hid when he controlled the "Blood Jade" puppet.
It was a hidden place covered by huge vines and collapsed stone pillars on the edge of the eastern area of the secret realm.
With his mind determined, Gu Sheng immediately changed direction and headed towards the direction in his memory. He gathered his breath, lowered his height, and flew away quickly, following the undulating mountains and deep valleys.
Time goes back to before Gu Sheng's consciousness was forcibly forced back to his body.
In that hidden cave covered by vines and stone pillars.
Under the finger of Jin'er's brilliant golden light, the body of "Blood Jade" suddenly spurted out a large amount of black and red blood from its seven orifices. After letting out a miserable howl that was not like a human voice, it collapsed softly to the ground.
It completely lost all vitality and breath, turning into a real corpse.
This sudden change plunged everyone in the cave into a deathly chaos!
"Master Blood Jade... is dead?!"
The faces of the few surviving warriors brought by Jin'er (actually the puppets she secretly controlled) showed horror and confusion on their faces, and they subconsciously took a few steps back, feeling at a loss.
Zhao Boyang, Old Xiong, and Old Zhen were even more shocked!
Especially Zhao Boyang, who just confirmed that "Blood Jade" is controlled by Gu Sheng, and was killed by Jin'er in the blink of an eye!
This huge contrast made his mind go blank!
"Don't panic!"
At the critical moment, Zhao Boyang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and shouted sharply!
After all, he is an experienced disciple of the Holy Academy, and he knows that he must not mess up his position at this moment!
His eyes were like lightning, scanning everyone in the cave in an instant, and finally locked on the middle-aged warrior (Old Zhen/Chen Zhen) who had always been silent and calm!
This person had previously questioned the identity of Gu Sheng (who controlled Blood Jade). At this moment, "Blood Jade" suddenly died. Although there was shock on his face, there didn't seem to be much surprise deep in his eyes. Instead, there was an imperceptible... scrutiny?
"Old Xiong! Protect girl Jin'er!"
Zhao Boyang made a prompt decision and shouted to the equally astonished burly man (Old Xiong). At the same time, he took a step forward and stood in front of Jin'er, but his eyes were fixed on the middle-aged warrior.
"Brother Chen! And you guys! Stay back! Be on guard! No one is allowed to move without my order!"
He instantly divided the people in the cave into two parties: one was him, Old Xiong, and Jin'er who needed protection.
On the other side were several warriors of unknown origins, headed by a middle-aged warrior (Chen Zhen), who seemed particularly suspicious at the moment.
He must stabilize the situation and figure out what happened!
Although Old Xiong's brain is not as fast as Zhao Boyang's, he always carries out his orders.
Hearing this, he immediately roared, his strong body blocking Jin'er's side and front, his muscles all tense and True Essence trembling, and he stared at the people opposite him warily.
The middle-aged warrior (Chen Zhen) looked at the postures of Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and then looked at the corpse of "Blood Jade" on the ground. The corner of his mouth suddenly curved in an extremely strange way.
He slowly raised his head, and his originally calm eyes became sharp and cold, even... mocking?
"Haha..."
A chuckle came from his mouth, but this voice was no longer the deep male voice before, but turned into a soft female voice with laziness and majesty!
In the horrified eyes of Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong, they saw the face of the middle-aged warrior rippling, and his figure quickly became slender.
In just the blink of an eye, a tall, beautiful, and cool-looking woman in a black dress with a mysterious and lazy temperament replaced the previous middle-aged warrior and stood there handsomely!
It is Jin'er!
"Jin...Jin'er girl?!"
Zhao Boyang If struck by lightning, the pupils instantly shrink to the size of a pinhead!
He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar beautiful face in front of him in disbelief, and his brain was roaring!
That weak woman who he always thought needed protection and was proficient in formations, actually... has been lurking around them in disguise?!
Moreover... the means she just showed...
Old Xiong was even more stunned. His mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg in. He pointed at Jin'er and stammered.
"You... you... you're not..."
"It's me."
Jin'er's red lips parted slightly, and her voice returned to its previous coldness, but now it sounded bone-chilling in Zhao Boyang's ears.
Her eyes calmly swept over the shocked faces of Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong, then glanced at the unconscious Old Xiong (the other one) and Old Zhen on the ground, and finally landed on the similarly stunned warriors she had brought.
"It's a pity. I wanted to play a little longer."
Jin'er shook his head slightly, his tone full of regret, but also full of absolute control.
"But it's time for the game to end."
Before she finished speaking, she waved her right hand casually towards the warriors she had brought!
An invisible but powerful force that made one's soul tremble instantly enveloped the dozen warriors!
The confusion and horror in their eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by an absolute and empty obedience!
Like a puppet controlled by invisible threads!
"Kill them."
Jin'er's voice was calm and calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The dozen or so controlled warriors roared in an instant, with blood bursting from their eyes. True Essence exploded without reservation, and rushed towards Zhao Boyang, Old Xiong, as well as Old Xiong and Old Zhen who were unconscious on the ground without fear of death!
