Bone Corpses
As night fell, Gu Yuanqing opened his eyes in the courtyard.
At the Grandmaster Realm, one can communicate with Heaven and Earth, and thus vaguely perceive things related to oneself, especially when Mountain Observation, this perception seems to be magnified several times.
Before Zuo Qiu and Gong Xin even approached North Spring Mountain, Gu Yuanqing already had a feeling.
He slipped out of the courtyard, came to the Front Mountain, and stood under the shade of the trees, concealing himself with the aura of North Spring Mountain.
This was a new technique he had acquired during his cultivation today. At this moment, he seemed to have merged with North Spring Mountain and was hiding in the Shade. He used the Vast Void Breath Concealment Technique, and his True Essence transformed into black and spread around his body. No one Outer Realm could detect that there was a person standing there. Even Zuo Qiu and Gong Xin did not notice.
The two men remained standing on the hilltop where the Imperial Guard had originally Residence.
Zuo Qiu was carrying a large sword, and on his back was a black cloth bundle that could be vaguely seen to resemble a dragon's head.
"Brother Gong, then I shall have a good look at your skills!"
Gong Xin smiled calmly, waved his hand, and a huge boulder flew to his front.
With a few flicks of his Folding Fan, gusts of wind sculpted the rocks into the shape of a stone table.
He took a Foot-Long Red-Gold Brush from a Bag at his waist, dipped it in Cinnabar, and manipulated his True Essence to draw on the stone, creating an Array Diagram on the stone table.
Fierce Wooden Idol was placed on the stone table, and several Spirit Stone were placed into the Array Core.
Gong Xin placed his Palm Seal on the table from a distance, injecting his True Essence, and the Array Formation was immediately activated.
The wooden Divine Statue emitted a ghostly light, and a phantom rose from Divine Statue, while black mist rapidly spread outwards!
Gong Xin bowed three times, took out a Jade Bottle, and a beam of blood-red light entered the Divine Statue.
Then, he took out Jade Flute and put it to his lips.
A faint flute melody drifted out, its sound cold and eerie. As the sound accompanied it, the illusory Stone Statue opened its eyes, its gaze indifferent and chilling.
Zuo Qiu frowned, feeling a chill run through his body, and unconsciously avoided the gaze of Divine Statue illusory statue.
A cold wind suddenly rose, and Gu Yuanqing felt a chill on his body, as if the entire North Spring Mountain had turned cold. The sound of the flute also Human Heart a chill down his spine.
"What exactly does this guy surnamed Gong want?"
Gu Yuanqing's expression turned serious. This method seemed to have transcended Martial Path, and he had never had any experience dealing with it.
Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound, like leaves rustling in the wind, but it felt strangely eerie.
The next moment, Gu Yuanqing suddenly saw a phantom appear beside him, slashing at him with a blade.
He quickly dodged to the side and stared intently, discovering that the illusory figure looked somewhat familiar; it was none other than Kong Shengbing, the former leader of the North Spring Sword Sect.
"Yin Spirit?"
Gu Yuanqing was startled and raised his hand to strike. As his True Essence passed over the illusory Shadow Body, a ripple spread across its body, but it was completely unharmed. It leaped up again, using the Swordsmanship from the North Spring Seven Swords.
Gu Yuanqing dodged with his agility. Now Grandmaster, he easily evaded the attacks using the Vast Void Horizontal Technique.
Kong Shengbing's sword was also a black phantom, landing on the trees without leaving a mark, but Gu Yuanqing still dared not let it hit him, as he did not know if there were other hidden methods involved.
The next second, he felt something was wrong behind his head. When he turned around, a hammer shadow fell down, and the figure was none other than Ghost Butcher Shentu Hong.
Then he saw another figure appear, the Old Man Tianzhu who had died by his sword.
The next moment, one after another, illusory figures appeared, each seemingly a person who had died in the North Spring Mountain.
Suddenly, Gu Yuanqing heard a noise on the mountain. Mountain Observation, he saw Feng Tao stumble and fall out of the house in a panic. A Black Shadow followed behind her, and a flash of Sword Light passed over her. She immediately lost her footing and fell to the ground, her mouth agape, writhing in pain.
At the same time, the animals in the Mountain were terrified and ran around in all directions. The Black Shadow that appeared were not only people, but also countless animals.
The number of phantoms around Gu Yuanqing increased. He tried various methods but found that he could not attack them. He could only keep dodging, and the space he could move around in was getting smaller and smaller. Even if he reached the treetops, these phantoms could still fly in the air.
"This can't go on!"
Gu Yuanqing's expression turned solemn. He then found a gap, leaped onto a tree, and closed his eyes.
First, Mountain Observation, and in your mind, you will "see" all the Shade within a hundred feet around it.
Then, Object Control!
An invisible pressure appeared all around, and all the Black Shadow vanished into thin air.
"It works!"
Gu Yuanqing felt much more at ease. He then incorporated the entire North Spring Mountain into his Mountain Observation. With a thought, the Black Shadow in the entire North Spring Mountain vanished instantly.
In the side courtyard, Feng Tao's pain didn't seem so severe; she lay on the ground, panting and groaning.
Down the mountain, Gong Xin let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and the flute music stopped.
The Divine Statue of the deity suddenly turned its head to look at North Spring Mountain, and then slowly disappeared.
Zuo Qiu's heart tightened. This Spell Art was extraordinary, yet it was broken in the blink of an eye, and Gong Xin was injured instead. However, he immediately smiled again, grinning, "Brother Gong, it seems your Spell Art isn't all that great. The promised good show ended before it even began?"
Gong Xin's face was gloomy. He then poured his True Essence into the formation, and the phantom of the Divine Statue reappeared. He bowed three times and took out a Jade Bottle. The blood color once again disappeared into the phantom.
As soon as the Divine Statue of the deity appeared, it resumed its indifferent expression.
He played the Flute again, and the sound was different from before. Accompanying the sound, White Bones crawled out of the ground.
There were human bones and wild animal bones, all climbing towards North Spring Mountain.
At the same time, countless Birds and Beasts also surged towards North Spring Mountain to the sound of the flute.
Gu Yuanqing saw the scene outside. He focused his mind on North Spring Mountain and exerted his ability to Object Control to the limit. The animals that had entered North Spring Mountain regained their intelligence and scattered in all directions; the White Bones all fell down and lay scattered on the ground.
With the Empowerment of True Essence, Gong Xin's flute music could even travel more than ten miles away. More and more White Bones gathered, Bone Sea up and spreading towards North Spring.
There were also many corpses that had not yet decomposed, and the smell wafted into North Spring Mountain, making it feel like there was a persistent stench.
Gu Yuanqing frowned deeply. Even if this didn't hurt him, the sheer disgust he felt would drive him crazy.
Gong Xin sneered. He didn't know what kind of Mountain Protection Array was in the Mountain, but he didn't believe that this first- First-Grade Spiritual Vein could last long!
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, it was late at night. The White Bones had piled up several feet high around North Spring Mountain, and the number of crawling corpses and White Bones gradually decreased.
Gong Xin put down the Jade Flute and gazed intently at the mountain.
Zuo Qiu laughed and said, "Brother Gong, it seems your Spell Art isn't very useful after all?"
Gong Xin said calmly, "It seems I underestimated the Spirit Vein in these Mountain. However, the world has no shortage of corpses!"
After speaking, he bowed three times to the Divine Statue, put it back into his Storage Bag, and then floated away into the distance.
Zuo Qiu glanced at North Spring Mountain, chuckled softly, and followed.
Gu Yuanqing stood in the mountains, watching the two leave with a cold expression, knowing that they would definitely not let the matter rest.
Looking down at the mountain of Bone Corpse, and smelling the pungent stench, he knew that if he couldn't figure out a way to defend himself, the next few months would be extremely difficult!
