now.
The Gu Sheng and Zong Yun remained in the same spot.
However, the two did not exchange any words.
Zong Yun stood still, while Gu Sheng lay on a tree branch, his hands behind his head, legs crossed, eyes closed, biting on a blade of grass, pretending to be asleep.
"You're also a student of the Azure Firmament Academy, right?"
Suddenly, the Gu Sheng asked.
Zong Yun paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."
"How are Xiao Hei and the others doing in the Mortal Realm?" the Gu Sheng sage asked with a smile, since he had nothing better to do than chat.
At this point, Zong Yun opened up and excitedly said, "Senior Xiao Hei and the others are legendary figures in the Mortal Realm. If it weren't for them, the Mortal Realm would probably no longer exist today."
The Gu Sheng nodded slightly. "Wow, it seems they hold a pretty high position in the Mortal Realm. If I go to the Mortal Realm in the future and have Xiao Hei protect me, wouldn't I be able to walk around with my head held high?"
Zong Yun was slightly taken aback.
He had expected the Gu Sheng to continue asking Xiao Hei and his sect about their information, but he didn't; it seemed as if he was just saying it casually.
This is where the wisdom of the Gu Sheng sages lies.
Unless the person involved tells him, it's best to find out for yourself. If this information reaches Xiao Hei and his group, it will be misinterpreted.
It will leave a lingering suspicion in one's mind, making one think that the Gu Sheng might have ulterior motives.
Just then...
The Gu Sheng suddenly opened his eyes and leaped down from the tree.
A spatial rift suddenly tore open in front of them, and a dark figure was flung out, slamming heavily onto the ground.
The Gu Sheng frowned slightly, took a closer look, and his expression changed slightly.
It's Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei lay on the ground, covered in wounds, his breath nearly gone, as if he were on his last breath and had already fainted.
Zong Yun, standing to the side, also paled in shock. "This... wasn't Senior supposed to be receiving the inheritance? Why is this happening? Has something unexpected occurred?"
The Gu Sheng also frowned, walked in front of Xiao Hei, and looked up at the spatial rift.
From within the crack, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms emerged, looked at the Gu Sheng, and smiled, "Oh? Are you going to protect him?"
The Gu Sheng sage frowned and asked, "Senior, what happened?"
"Didn't you understand?" The Nether Lord of the Six Realms shrugged and chuckled, "He's not qualified to receive my inheritance. But since he's already seen it, he has to be eliminated. So this matter is none of your concern. Continue upwards."
A look of seriousness flashed across the Gu Sheng's eyes as he said, "Merely seeing the inheritance shouldn't be a capital offense, right?"
"Does my legacy mean it can be revealed so easily?" The Nether Lord of the Six Realms sneered.
"Then why not place a restriction on him to ensure it doesn't leak out?" the Gu Sheng suggested.
"That's too much trouble," the Nether Lord of the Six Realms said calmly. "What if someone kills him and forcibly Soul Search? Alright, I'll give you five breaths. If you don't leave, then die here with him. Oh, by the way... if you die, it's impossible for your souls to enter reincarnation."
In other words, there is absolutely no possibility of rebirth!
"Okay, let's start the countdown now, 1, 2..."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng glanced at Xiao Hei behind him and couldn't help but smile wryly.
3...
When the count reached 3, a massive surge of nether energy erupted!
Zong Yun looked panicked.
The Gu Sheng said helplessly, "This is a huge problem, but leaving now is not in my nature. If I abandon him, I may never have peace of mind for the rest of my life."
"Oh?" A smile flashed in the eyes of the Nether Lord of the Six Realms, then his face turned murderous, and he said in a chilling tone, "So, you want to die with him?"
The Gu Sheng glanced to his left.
That is the spatial passage that transports you to the Human Realm.
The distance isn't very far.
Seeing this, the Gu Sheng said, "It's not that I want to die together, after all, I'm no match for you, senior."
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms nodded. "Hmm, you do have some brains. Since that's the case..."
But before he could finish speaking...
Then they saw the Gu Sheng strike out with a palm! A violent gale swept out!
However, this palm strike was not aimed at the Nether Lord of the Six Realms.
Instead, it was aimed at Xiao Hei!
A gust of wind swept up Xiao Hei's body and carried it towards the spatial passage!
At the same time, Gu Sheng and Zong Yun also stomped on the ground and rushed towards the spatial passage!
The Gu Sheng knew that there was absolutely no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation with a top-tier powerhouse like the Nether Lord of the Six Realms; doing so would only result in losing his life.
This is the only way now: to escape through the spatial passage.
Unfortunately, when facing someone of the Nether Lord of the Six Realms's level, if he doesn't want you to leave, how can you escape his grasp?
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms clenched his five fingers.
The surging Nether Qi instantly appeared where the three Gu Sheng were, condensing into a giant hand that clenched tightly at the same time as the Nether Lord of the Six Realms.
The three Gu Sheng were completely enveloped within it!
"It's over..." the Gu Sheng sage said with a wry smile.
Zong Yun also looked nervous, but he still stood in front of Xiao Hei.
"Do you think these petty tricks will work on me?" Purple netherfire erupted around the Nether Lord of the Six Realms. "Now, before my mood completely turns sour, you still have a chance to leave."
The Gu Sheng remained unmoved.
The Nether Lord of the Six Realms snorted coldly, flicked his finger, and a bolt of purple Netherfire shot directly towards Xiao Hei!
The Gu Sheng sage's expression changed, and he pushed forward with both hands.
With a low shout, tornadoes rose from the ground, forming an impenetrable wall of wind in front of them!
At that moment, the purple ghost fire landed directly on the wind wall.
Under the corrosive influence of the purple netherfire, tornadoes instantly ignited, forming purple fire tornadoes!
The Gu Sheng saint's expression changed. The purple netherfire, passing through the tornado, spread its astonishing power to the Gu Sheng's hands, causing them to burst into flames.
Intense pain spread throughout my body!
The Gu Sheng's face turned pale instantly, and even his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.
Sudden.
The Gu Sheng sage glanced to the left, his expression changed again, he withdrew his hands, and subconsciously rushed towards Xiao Hei's side!
There, another purple ghostly flame struck!
The Gu Sheng was about to unleash his full power to defend, but it was too late. The purple Netherfire did not strike Xiao Hei, but instead struck the Gu Sheng's chest as he rushed over.
The enormous purple flames completely enveloped the Gu Sheng's entire body.
The screams of pain were uncontrollable.
Seeing this, the Nether Lord of the Six Realms was somewhat surprised. "Oh? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"I'm afraid... ah," the Gu Sheng replied, barely managing to speak through his pain.
"Then why are you willing to risk your life to protect him?"
"I don't know either." At this point, Gu Sheng Shengqiang forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "I hadn't even figured it out before my body started moving; I guess I was afraid of disturbing my State of Mind."
" State of Mind is uneasy, then living is also a pain... Oh well."
"Heh." The Nether Lord of the Six Realms clapped his hands.
In an instant, the purple Netherfire gradually seeped into the Gu Sheng's body.
However, the Gu Sheng felt no pain and was even horrified to discover that this power was repairing and strengthening his limbs and bones!
What... is going on?
