Chapter 91 Encounter with the Man in Black Robes Again

As she hurried forward, she encountered several groups of sect disciples in perilous situations along the way.

For those whose lives were not in danger, she simply stood quietly to the sidelines and watched coldly, without offering any help whatsoever.

After all, cultivators are not like parasitic plants; how can they not experience life and death?
Gu Shihan wandered around the back mountain and sent any small animals she found that she liked to her space.

"Huh?! Someone's injured?" Within the range of divine sense, a female cultivator lay in a clump of grass, looking disheveled and severely injured.

Seeing that the female cultivator was wearing the outer disciple robes of the Five Flowers Sect, Gu Shihan waved her jade hand, and a pill flew out, landing precisely in the female cultivator's mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering the mouth, transforming into a powerful medicinal force that rapidly flowed throughout the body.

Not long after, the female cultivator who had been on the verge of death woke up.

The female cultivator opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Gu Shihan standing not far away.

She blinked, realizing that she couldn't see through Gu Shihan's cultivation level at all. Overjoyed, she quickly pleaded, "Senior Sister, please have mercy and save us!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan was slightly taken aback. She quickly scanned her surroundings and saw that there were no other figures within a few miles except for the two of them, and no one was in danger.

She asked in confusion, "Save you? But there's no one else here besides you and me. Who else needs help?"

Upon hearing this, the female cultivator hurriedly explained, "Senior sister, this is what happened. I went to Qiligang with two other junior sisters to collect star grass, but we encountered a man dressed in black robes on the way."

Without saying a word, the man used his supernatural powers to kidnap the three of us into a deep, dark cave…

At this point, the female cultivator's voice trembled involuntarily, and her face was filled with terror.

"Senior sister, he took all my storage treasures! He's not human! I escaped by jumping off a cliff! Please, please save them!" the female cultivator cried.

Gu Shihan frowned slightly, a strange feeling welling up in her heart.

Another man in black robes. Could he be an evil cultivator?
Seeing Gu Shihan frown and her face show urgency, the female cultivator beside her quickly said, "Senior Sister, we have to hurry and save them! If we're any later, it might be too late...they..."

The female cultivator hesitated, as if she wanted to express more, but didn't know how to begin.

Before the female cultivator could finish speaking, Gu Shihan stood up and decisively said, "Alright, enough talk, lead the way!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a flash of cold light appeared, and a flying sword appeared out of thin air, stopping steadily in front of Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan lightly leaped onto the flying sword, and at the same time reached out and pulled the female cultivator up with her.

With a soft shout, the flying sword transformed into a streak of light and sped off in the direction the female cultivator pointed.

During the flight, a clear voice rang in Gu Shihan's mind: "Hanhan, be careful. I think there's something wrong with this woman. Her injuries are clearly faked!"

Gu Shihan pondered for a moment and replied, "Yes, I understand."

After a moment's thought, she quietly adjusted her cultivation level to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Before long, the two arrived at Qiligang, which the female cultivator had mentioned.

Looking into the distance, a cave could indeed be faintly seen hidden among the thorns halfway up the mountain in the valley. At that moment, Xing Bai, who had been following Gu Shihan, suddenly vanished without a trace.

Gu Shihan led the female cultivator to land slowly at the foot of the mountain, and then walked towards the cave on foot.

Throughout the journey, the female cultivator appeared extremely nervous, her steps even becoming somewhat unsteady.

When they were less than a thousand meters away from the cave, the female cultivator lowered her voice and said to Gu Shih-han, "Senior sister, that person is in that cave. I can't see through his cultivation level, but he should have reached the late stage of Qi Refining. Otherwise, with the strength of my two junior sisters and me, we wouldn't have been beaten so badly by him."

“My injuries have not yet fully healed. If I were to go with you now, I would only become a burden to you and hold you back. How about I hide here for now and wait for your return? Would that be appropriate?” The woman looked at Gu Shihan earnestly and asked softly.

Gu Shihan stared at the woman in front of her. Her face was as pale as paper, and her delicate body was trembling slightly. She was obviously seriously injured.

He sneered inwardly, "She's really putting on a good show." His eyes suddenly changed, and he struck with lightning speed. With a light touch, the female cultivator groaned and fainted to the ground.

Gu Shihan tossed the female cultivator into his portable Qiankun Room, then used his Lightness Steps technique to dash away through the cave.

Just as Gu Shihan approached the cave, suddenly, a sharp, piercing male voice came from inside: "Rise!"

Immediately afterwards, a beam of light shone forth, instantly forming a massive array that trapped Gu Shihan within it.

A moment later, a mysterious figure wearing a mask and a black robe slowly walked out of the cave.

He clapped his hands and sneered, "Women are useless. After all this time, they've only managed to get me this one. We still need a few more to make up the numbers! Fine, let's arrest this woman first, and then we can think of other ways!"

The moment the formation was activated, Gu Shihan keenly sensed that something special seemed to have been added to it.

With her spatial abilities and years of cultivation experience, this little trick posed no threat to her at all.

At this moment, Xingbai's anxious voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Hanhan, I found five unconscious female cultivators in the cave. They are all disciples of your Wuhua Sect."

Also, there's a strange altar deep inside the cave; it looks quite ominous. Should I just destroy it?

"Don't destroy it yet. Go ahead and send a message to Elder Honghuang, in my name, and have him bring people to Qiligang," Gu Shihan hurriedly transmitted.

After swallowing an antidote pill, Gu Shihan collapsed to the ground, pretending to have been drugged.

In less than twenty breaths, Gu Shihan sensed that another female cultivator was leading two Qi Refining stage female cultivators toward them.

The three chatted and laughed all the way, completely unaware that the impending danger was already upon them.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes revealed a chilling smile.

He swiftly grabbed Gu Shihan, who was lying on the ground, and placed her on the altar like a chick.

He then did the same thing, putting the other five unconscious people onto the altar one by one.

After doing all this, the man in black turned and left, seemingly preparing to guide the people down the mountain.
