"Here, boy, you want to live. Old man, I can help you this far. The power of this incarnation is almost exhausted."
Xia Wuyou yawned and his tone returned to its previous lazy tone.
"With such a big commotion, the local old guys in southern Xinjiang must have been alerted, and they are probably rushing here. You two boys, hurry up and get out, don't stay here to die."
After saying that, his figure began to fade quickly, like blue smoke, and finally completely disappeared into the room, as if he had never appeared before.
The terrifying pressure in the room also disappeared.
Only then did Situ Qingfeng feel a lightness on his body. He gasped for air and got up with lingering fear. He looked at the place where Xia Wuyou disappeared, his eyes full of awe and fear.
Gu Sheng bent down and checked the status of the avatar, confirming that it had only had its cultivation and consciousness sealed, and was not dead.
He stood up and looked out the window at the gradually dispersing bloody sky, with a hint of depth flashing in his eyes.
"Destroying thousands of armies with a wave of his hand, slashing through the void with three swords...Xia Wuyou's strength is probably close to that of an eighth-level venerable."
Gu Sheng thought to himself.
"However, although his aura is strong, there is a faint feeling of being unable to succeed. It should be that his potential was overstretched in his early years and his foundation was damaged. As a result, his body can no longer withstand higher breakthroughs. I am afraid that he will not be able to reach the ninth-level supreme realm in his life... It is a pity."
He shook his head and suppressed these thoughts. Now was not the time to lament these things.
He turned around and said to the shocked Situ Qingfeng.
"Clean up and let's leave here immediately."
After saying that, his eyes fell on the stand-in "Xiao Beixuan" with dull eyes on the ground, like a puppet. Gu Sheng's eyes were cold and showed no mercy, directly revealing his identity.
"No need to pretend anymore, I know you are not Xiao Beixuan, you are just a poor scapegoat."
The body of the "Xiao Beixuan" stand-in trembled slightly, and his empty eyes seemed to have regained some sparkle, but were replaced by deeper despair and an inexplicable heaviness.
He opened his mouth, his voice was dry and hoarse.
"You... just kill me. I won't say anything..."
"I don't have time for your nonsense."
Gu Sheng interrupted him directly. A dazzling golden light suddenly erupted in his eyes. An unparalleled spiritual power condensed instantly. Like two invisible golden needles, it penetrated into the eyes of the stand-in "Xiao Beixuan" like lightning and penetrated into the depths of his sea of consciousness! He wanted to use the most direct and brutal method - soul searching to obtain information about Xiao Beixuan and Seventy-two Divine Sects!
However, just at the moment when Gu Sheng's mental power invaded the opponent's sea of consciousness and touched the core memory area--
"Uh-huh!"
The "Xiao Beixuan" stand-in let out a short and shrill scream, and his whole body suddenly stiffened, and then fell forward softly as if all the bones had been ripped out.
But just when his head was about to hit the ground!
Boom!!!
With a muffled sound, his head exploded out of thin air like a ripe watermelon without any warning!
Red blood, white brains, mixed with broken bones, violently splashed around like fireworks, instantly staining the nearby floors and walls into a mess, and the pungent smell of blood filled the air again.
Gu Sheng already sensed something was wrong the moment the opponent's head changed. He quickly retreated, avoiding most of the dirt, but there were still a few blood spots splashed on the hem of his robe.
His face turned slightly pale, not because of the injury, but because of the strength of the restraint and the slight mental shock caused by the interruption of the soul search.
"Brother Gu! What's going on?!"
Situ Qingfeng, who had just gotten up, was startled by the sudden explosion. He quickly stepped forward and asked nervously. Looking at the headless corpse on the ground, his stomach churned again.
Gu Sheng frowned, looked at the corpse on the ground, and spoke solemnly.
"An extremely vicious soul restriction has been planted in his body. Once an external force tries to search for the soul or he wants to take the initiative to leak key information, the restriction will be triggered immediately, directly detonating his sea of consciousness and head. I originally wanted to force a breakthrough, but I didn't expect this restriction to be so overbearing and decisive... It's not a big problem, but I didn't get much useful information."
He paused and his tone became urgent.
"The situation is urgent, we must leave immediately without any further delay!"
Situ Qingfeng is still a little confused.
"Brother Gu, although the movement is a bit loud, Seventy-two Divine Sects can't react that quickly in this wilderness, right?"
"You don't understand the methods of the great religion."
Gu Sheng explained in a deep voice while quickly cleaning the blood stains on his body.
"Many of the core members of Seventy-two Divine Sects, especially the elders above the king level, have left 'soul lamps' in the sect. The soul lamps are connected to their souls and will go out when they die.
Just now, Senior Xia killed tens of thousands of warriors with one blow, including many from the king realm and even Heavenly King Realm. This means that at this moment, thousands of soul lamps in the sects belonging to those divine religions in the nearby area have been extinguished at the same time! Such a shocking change is enough to alarm those ancestors who are in seclusion! "
He looked sharply at Situ Qingfeng.
"What do you think those ancestors who are at least at the sect level, or maybe even Venerable Realm, will do when they realize that their elite disciples and elders are dead instantly? They will go crazy! They will rush to find out the truth as quickly as possible at all costs!
I dare to say that within half an hour at most, or even sooner, someone from the cult's ancestor level will definitely arrive! If we are blocked here by then, unless Senior Xia himself arrives in person, we will not be able to escape!"
After hearing this, Situ Qingfeng's face instantly turned pale, and he completely gave up any chance and any idea of taking a break. Even Heavenly King Realm Peak was like an ant in front of the incarnation of Xia Wuyou. That Heavenly King Realm was stronger than Heavenly King Realm, the ancestor of the Venerable Realm... He simply couldn't imagine it!
"Let's go! Let's go now!"
Situ Qingfeng No more hesitation.
At the same time, in the depths of southern Xinjiang, there is a majestic mountain top shrouded in dense spiritual energy and filled with the breath of ancient life.
Longevity Divine Cult, Sect Master In the main hall.
The atmosphere was originally solemn and peaceful. Longevity Old Ancestor, who had white hair and beard but a face as rosy as a baby, was sitting on the main seat, personally entertaining two distinguished guests.
Sitting on the guest seat was a middle-aged man wearing a nine-dragon imperial robe and a purple gold crown, with a majestic face and extraordinary bearing. He was the contemporary Southern Emperor! And beside him, there was a woman wearing a snow-white dress and a long skirt, with a beautiful face and a temperament as cold as a snow lotus. She was Southern Emperor City Saintess--Mu Xue.
The two sides seemed to be discussing something important, and the atmosphere seemed harmonious.
Nan Huang held a jade cup in his hand, sipping the immortality tea unique to the sect, and asked casually, seemingly unintentionally.
"Ancestor, when I came here just now, I saw that many disciples of your sect seemed to be in a hurry and making arrangements. Could it be that there have been recent changes in southern Xinjiang? If there is any need for my help, Southern Emperor City, I just said it would be okay."
Longevity Old Ancestor chuckled, smoothed his long snow-white beard, and spoke in a calm tone.
"His Majesty Emperor Laonan is worried. It's just a trivial matter. There is a junior from Eastern Wasteland who has no knowledge of heaven and earth, named Gu Sheng. He has repeatedly provoked the majesty of our religious sect and even hurt our disciples. The people below are not popular enough, so they united with a few good friends of the religious sect to capture this animal, so that they can take it seriously."
When the name "Gu Sheng" came out of Longevity Old Ancestor's mouth, Mu Xue Saintess, who was sitting at the head of Nanhuang with his eyes lowered all the time, seemed indifferent to everything around him. His eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled imperceptibly, and his delicate body was stiff for a moment, although he recovered quickly.
But how can he hide from the perception of the two top experts present? A flash of understanding flashed in Nanhuang's eyes, while Longevity Old Ancestor's eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.
Just then--
"Report--!!! Old Ancestor! Something bad happened!!!"
A shrill, extremely panicked shout, accompanied by rapid footsteps, from far to near! I saw a young man wearing the uniform of a core disciple of Longevity Divine Cult, rolling and crawling, with a look of horror on his face, rushing into the hall, and even because he was so panicked, he directly knocked away two heavy hall doors!
"Presumptuous!"
Longevity Old Ancestor An elder standing next to him immediately scolded him.
"Sect Master Hall, how can you be allowed to be so disgraceful! What crime should you be punished for disturbing the distinguished guests!"
The young disciple fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and his voice was filled with tears.
"Forgive me, ancestor! Sect Master, forgive me! It's really... the sky is falling!"
Longevity Old Ancestor A trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but due to the presence of Nanhuang, the inconvenience broke out immediately, so he just said in a deep voice.
"Why are you panicking? What a shame! For the sake of His Majesty the Southern Emperor, I will spare you this time. Tell me, why are you so panicked?"
The young disciple raised his head, his face was bloodless, and his voice was trembling so much that he was almost incoherent.
"Dead... all dead! The people we sent to intercept and kill Gu Sheng... including... including his old man Punishment Elder... were wiped out! The soul lamp... the soul lamp was all extinguished!"
"What?!"
The indifference on Longevity Old Ancestor's face disappeared in an instant, and he stood up from his seat suddenly. A terrifying aura filled the air uncontrollably, making the air in the entire hall freeze!
"Punishment Elder is Heavenly King Realm Peak! Then Gu Sheng is only of the Heavenly Martial Realm cultivation level. Even if he has the power to kill ordinary sects, how can he kill Punishment Elder? Do you know what a serious crime it is to lie about military information?!"
"Disciple doesn't dare! Disciple never dares to lie!"
The young disciple burst into tears.
"It's not just us Longevity Divine Cult! Blazing Sun Divine Sect, Mysterious Water Divine Sect, Thick Earth Divine Sect... the elders and disciples they sent... all their soul lamps were extinguished at the same time! Tens of thousands of soul lamps were extinguished at the same time! No one was spared!"
After hearing this, Longevity Old Ancestor's expression finally changed completely, from shock to extremely solemn and a trace of unbelievable horror! He slowly sat back in his seat, tapping the armrest with his fingers unconsciously, and murmured.
"Ten thousand soul lamps were extinguished... including many Heavenly King Realm... This is definitely not something that Gu Sheng can do! He... is surrounded by top powerhouses to protect him! At least... the peak of the sect, even... the Venerable!"
A flash of determination and sternness suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he immediately gave the order in a deep voice.
"Pass my decree! Immediately notify all the divine religions that have good relations with our religion within a thousand miles around the place where the incident occurred, and ask their ancestors to immediately dispatch and block all surrounding traffic arteries and teleportation circles!
Don't let go of even a fly! I want to go there in person and see who is it that dares to massacre the children of my god's sect like this in our southern border!"
The order was quickly passed on.
At this time, the contemporary Nanhuang also stood up and said solemnly.
"Ancestor, since such a big event has happened in southern Xinjiang, and Gu Sheng has some old grudges with me, Southern Emperor City, I will return to Southern Emperor City first, activate Southern Emperor City's power, and assist in searching for the whereabouts of this beast..."
However, before he finished speaking, Longevity Old Ancestor slowly turned his head, his eyes calm but with an unquestionable meaning, looking at Nanhuang and Mu Xue Saintess, who had always lowered their heads.
"His Majesty the Southern Emperor, Mu Xue Saintess."
Longevity Old Ancestor's voice returned to calmness, but with a trace of invisible pressure.
"According to the agreement between you and me, before Mu Xue Saintess gets married to my direct disciple, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, it is best for you two to stay with me Longevity Divine Cult I am a guest to avoid any unnecessary 'accidents'. Although I, Longevity Divine Cult, do not want to break up with Southern Emperor City, if it concerns the inheritance and face of the divine religion, I am not... afraid."
The threat in the words was obvious.
The face of the contemporary Southern Emperor instantly became extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists secretly. However, feeling the unfathomable aura of Longevity Old Ancestor and the faint powerful energy coming from outside the hall, he finally took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced out a smile.
"Ancestor is right, I didn't think carefully.
Then I and Saintess will stay in your sect for a few more days."
"So good."
Longevity Old Ancestor nodded with satisfaction, and then his figure blurred, as if blending into the void, and disappeared into the hall in an instant, rushing to the bloody scene in person.
Almost at the same time Longevity Old Ancestor left.
In another prosperous city in southern Xinjiang, in the center of Xiaguang City's teleportation array, light flashed and two figures appeared.
The leader is a young man with a face like a crown and eyes like bright stars. He is wearing a moon-white gown and holding a folding fan. He looks like a handsome young man from the world. He has a faint and unrestrained smile on his lips. He is Situ Qingfeng.
Following him was a young man wearing ordinary gray cloth, with his head lowered and an ordinary face, looking like a servant. Naturally, he was Gu Sheng after the disguise, and his current pseudonym was Situ Gu.
The two walked out of the teleportation circle and walked straight towards the central area of Xiaguang City.
However, not long after they walked out, a group of warriors wearing uniform purple uniforms, holding spears flashing with cold light, and wearing exquisite armor blocked their way menacingly.
There are ten warriors in this team, and all of them have the cultivation level of the Heavenly Martial Realm, the ninth level. The leader of the squad leader has glaring eyes, locked on Situ Qingfeng and Gu Sheng like a falcon. The true energy flowing around the body is faint. As long as the two of them make the slightest movement, they will immediately launch a thunderous attack.
Situ Qingfeng paused in his steps, opened the folding fan in his hand with a "swish" sound, and shook it gently. There was no fear on his face, but a trace of displeasure as he asked loudly.
