"Really?!"
A huge surprise lit up the boy's eyes.
Gu Yu raised his chin. "I, Gu Yu, am the chief disciple of the person you admire! Chief disciple, do you understand? It means second only to one person, above ten thousand others."
The boy was completely stunned.
"You absolutely must take me to see the Spirit Emperor!"
"Don't worry, it'll be a piece of cake!"
Gu Yu said smugly, "Alright, you've rested enough. Go back to your seat and come find me when you arrive at the Jade Pivot Sect!"
"Okay!"
The boy ran off excitedly.
Gu Yu stood up, dusted himself off, and was about to call everyone to set off when a wisp of cold mist drifted by, and a person appeared ahead.
A woman dressed in white!
Her features were cold and sharp, and her imposing presence was astonishing; she was clearly not someone to be trifled with!
"Where are you going, young lady, in this desolate wilderness?"
When Gu Yu saw the beautiful woman walking towards him, he immediately asked her questions enthusiastically.
Because of the sudden turn of events, all the escorting personnel stood up in unison.
After all, this woman in white had a charming and aloof appearance, making her a rare beauty.
The escort team was predominantly composed of men.
Which man doesn't love looking at beautiful women?
So they all spontaneously gathered around!
The woman glanced coldly around and asked, "Who is Gu Yu?"
"I am!"
Gu Yu quickly replied.
A chill flashed in the woman's eyes, and in an instant, killing intent surged. She took a step forward, stretched out her arm, and grabbed Gu Yu by the neck!
The Gu Yu changed color instantly!
People around also kept their distance!
Because the aura emanating from this woman in white was simply too strong!
She is Bai Xiao of the Nether Soul Hall!
Peak Great Emperor!
Because of her collaboration with Xie Han Xie Han, she mastered the unorthodox Secret Method he gave her, which is why her cultivation level skyrocketed to such a high level in such a short time!
"Who the hell are you? Why are you trying to kill me?" Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat.
"Your master is Xie Feng, isn't he?" Bai Xiao stared at her fiercely.
Gu Yu's lips twitched.
As expected, this is Master's enemy!
What frustrated him was why so many people seemed to target him.
It's clear that Master has more than one disciple.
Yao Cang too!
Is it really because he's too charming and too handsome?!
"What are you thinking, you idiot?" Bai Xiao's eyes widened, and he suddenly increased the pressure on his hand.
Gu Yu felt his Qi and Blood rush to his head, making it difficult to breathe and causing him to feel like he was suffocating.
"Help!" he struggled frantically, "I'm going to die!"
Bai Xiao wanted to keep him for questioning, so he lightened the pressure on his hands slightly.
Gu Yu's eyes darted around, attempting to outsmart him. He feigned weakness, saying, "I am Great Emperor, you are powerful, you are formidable. Please don't kill me, let me say my last words, okay?"
Bai Xiao said coldly, "Speak!"
Gu Yu said, "You have to let me go first, my throat hurts..."
Bai Xiao released his grip.
An Gu Yu artifact was taken out, containing a communication talisman.
Bai Xiao immediately warned, "What are you doing? Don't try anything funny!"
With that, he shattered the communication talisman with a single palm strike!
Gu Yu: "..."
Wow, what a fierce woman!
His heart was weeping.
Bai Xiao grabbed Gu Yu by the neck again, her gaze sweeping around.
Gu Yu declared righteously, "You can kill me, but don't kill them! They are innocent!"
The crowd around them, tears welling in their eyes, cried out, " Gu Yu Master Gu Yu, we don't need you to make such a great sacrifice for us!"
"No, I am a member of the Jade Pivot Sect! I am a disciple of the Northern Spirit Emperor! To die for the people is my honor!"
" Gu Yu Master Gu Yu, you are our hero, we will remember you forever!"
Farewell to this world!
Gu Yu's neck was being gripped by Bai Xiao, and he had a tragic and heroic expression, as if he were about to face his death.
Bai Xiao's lips twitched. "What the hell are you talking about? I didn't say I wanted to kill them, I just want you!"
"No, I'm old and my looks have faded..."
Gu Yu instantly hugged himself.
Bai Xiao: "..."
Gu Yu lowered his voice. "How about this, there's a fresh-faced, juicy teenager in the team, why don't you..."
Bang!
With a single slap, Bai Xiao knocked Gu Yu unconscious.
She had simply reached her breaking point!
What utter nonsense is this guy spouting?!
After knocking Gu Yu, Bai Xiao immediately slipped away, leaving a group of people looking at each other in bewilderment!
" Gu Yu Master Gu Yu has been captured! What should we do now?"
"Did you see clearly who arrested him?"
"She's a beautiful woman!"
"You idiot, what time is it and you're still talking about beautiful women? That's clearly a devil!"
"She... she seems to be Bai Xiao, the newly appointed Lord of the Nether Soul Hall!"
"Great! Knowing his identity is enough. Let's hurry to the Qingli Realm and inform the Spirit Emperor!"
Amidst much discussion, and finally amidst the commotion, they set off!
When Gu Yu woke up again, everything was dark.
His head was throbbing with pain, and he forced himself to sit up, but his head was still buzzing.
He lifted his eyelids, and the world around him seemed to sway.
It took quite a while for things to return to normal.
Gu Yu then realized that he was sitting in a forest, with his back against a hard mound of earth.
I turned around and looked.
"Holy crap!"
He was instantly terrified!
It's a tomb!
A tomb flowing with red blood!
He was covered in blood!
Looking around, all I could see were countless graves!
It was just a dark graveyard!
"How did I get here?" Gu Yu exclaimed in surprise. "Could this be a nightmare?"
"Of course I brought you here!"
Bai Xiao suddenly appeared behind him, speaking in a sinister tone.
Gu Yu clutched his still-painful head. "Aren't you from the Nether Soul Hall? The Nether Soul Hall and our Jade Pivot Sect are at odds, so why didn't you kill me?"
Bai Xiao rolled his eyes, looking at him like he was an idiot, and said impatiently, "Why should I kill you? Wouldn't it be better to torture you and make you wish you were dead?"
"That makes sense!" Gu Yu agreed wholeheartedly.
Bai Xiao grabbed him by the collar and dragged him forcefully to a tombstone.
Kneel down and repent!
She shouted sharply and kicked Gu Yu hard in the back of the knee.
ah!
thump!
Gu Yu let out a scream. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, but instead of kneeling, he sat down on the ground!
The tombstone in front of him was Xuan Ya's!
"Do you have anything to say to the former Palace Master? If I tell you to repent, then repent now! This is the sin your master committed, and as his disciple, you have an obligation to pay for it!" Bai Xiao said coldly.
"I... I have nothing to repent for, and I didn't kill anyone... Okay, why are you, a beautiful woman, wearing such a stern face? It looks so fierce..."
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but girl... or maybe older sister, what's the point of you capturing me? I'm not that powerful. Someone at your Great Emperor level could kill a hundred of me with a single punch. Does capturing me give you a sense of accomplishment?"
"I'm just a senior disciple in name only; I'm actually very weak. Killing me won't make you feel good. Why are you so foolish as to oppose our master?"
