There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

I don't know if it's his problem.

It's definitely not Gu Xia's fault.

She's like that heartless scumbag who deceives someone's feelings and then tries to shift the blame back.

The disciples all exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing Xie Baiyi standing there dumbfounded and speechless for a long time, Cen Huan quickly comforted him, "Senior Brother, don't be sad. Although Gu Xia didn't explain herself clearly, she was still worried about you being affected and saved you before she self-destructed."

"Was she worried about me?" Xie Baiyi looked over quietly. "She was clearly worried about her entire fortune."

He's not stupid; don't think he didn't understand her subtext just now.

amount.

Cen Huan racked her brains. She wasn't really good at comforting people. A few seconds later, she had a sudden inspiration. "You can't think like that, Senior Brother. At least Gu Xia entrusted you with all her savings, which proves that she still trusts you."

Xie Baiyi thought about it and felt that his junior sister's words made sense. After all, this kind of approach was quite rare for Gu Xia.

This is a unique privilege among all the direct disciples.

Moreover, it's a good thing that Gu Xia didn't die, even if she was confident that she wouldn't get into trouble. In the end, he still owed her for saving his life.

Gu Lanyi let out a cold snort.

idiot.

It was clearly because at that time there were only him and Gu Xia inside the formation, so who else would they entrust it to if not him?

How come he never noticed how naive Xie Baiyi was before?

"So you two actually knew all along that Gu Xia wasn't dead?" Yu Heng belatedly realized, and his attention shifted to Ye Suian and the other person who were leisurely watching the show.

"Hey, don't say things like that."

Ye Suian clicked his tongue, "It's not as early as you thought, it's just—"

He gestured with one finger, saying, "I knew a little bit earlier than you guys, didn't I?"

The word "little bit" sounds infuriating.

Jiang Chaoxu remained silent for a moment, deeply feeling that his third senior brother's ability to attract hatred was becoming increasingly superb.

He quietly moved to the side, not wanting to be affected, but when he looked up, he met unfriendly stares from everyone, including his two senior brothers.

The boy gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Why are you looking at him? He didn't want to either.

After all, it was my junior sister who gave the instructions. If you're so capable, go find her.

"..."

Just kidding, who would dare to go talk to Gu Xia now?

Although this guy talks a lot of nonsense and doesn't tell the truth, there's one thing they're very certain of.

There are some people she really will beat up.

Ignoring the subtle misunderstandings among the group, Gu Xia took the opportunity to exchange information with her trusted confidants.

*

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, when the formation finally dissipated, the Fifth Elder, who had been thrown inside, was already dead beyond any doubt.

However, Gu Xia's real purpose was not actually with him.

Killing one of the Fifth Elders wouldn't solve the current problem; what she wanted to kill was the person remotely controlling the other side from behind the scenes.

And this person was naturally Qu Yimian.

Or perhaps it's Qu Yimian, who returned after faking her death and turning evil.

If it weren't for Tiandao's recent insight, she really wouldn't have known.

It was only at this moment that Gu Xia understood some of the strange things that had happened before. No wonder Qu Yimian had been talking nonsense after she was arrested. Gu Xia had heard it but did not understand what it meant.

In retrospect, it is clear that the other party's memories had been gradually merging for a long time, and it was only after he 'died' at her hands that this process was accelerated by some twist of fate.

Gu Xia thought he had killed her, but little did he know that once the gears of fate begin to turn, they are not so easily stopped.

Everything was arranged in advance.

Qu Yimian not only didn't die, but she also underwent an evolution. If the previous version was 1.0, then the current version is the 2.0 corrupted version.

The dark version of Qu Yimian has clearly reached the peak of her hatred for her, and she is even more intelligent than before.

While it may not be much more, it's better than nothing at all.

Gu Xia's current plan is to kill her again with his own hands.

Between the two of them lies a feud spanning two lifetimes.

This feud has now become a matter of life and death for the entire cultivation world.

Let's settle this once and for all, so that everyone can be happy.

Gu Xia glanced at Mu Qingzhou beside her. The young man had a pill in his mouth, his cheeks slightly puffed out. After noticing her gaze, he turned his head and showed a very innocent and confused expression.

"what happened?"

I almost forgot about this guy.

She made a deal with the Heavenly Dao, so she must keep her promise.

Since she had said she would save him, she was determined to protect Mu Qingzhou's life.

Thinking of this, Gu Xia asked the question that she was most concerned about right now.

"Where is the lingering charm?"

The protégés were taken aback. "You're asking about her?"

Gu Xia nodded, gripping her sword tightly. "I heard she has now replaced the former Demon Lord. If there's nothing else, I need to go to the Demon Realm to meet her."

Gu Xia couldn't help but sigh with regret when this was mentioned. "If I had known, I would have applied for the job before." She never expected that killing the former Demon Lord would actually help Qu Yimian. If she had known that killing the former Demon Lord would allow her to control the Demon Clan, she probably would have already ascended the throne on the spot.

Upon hearing this, the group of trusted disciples were speechless.

You're really daring, Gu Xia.

Shen Weixun flicked her smooth forehead with his index finger, his voice neither too loud nor too soft, "Junior Sister, please forget about this dangerous idea."

If she really ran off to the Demon Clan and ascended the throne on the spot, not only the Taiyi Sect, but the entire cultivation world would probably be thrown into chaos.

The knock was insignificant to Gu Xia; the senior brother was just making a show of it. After all, there were other cultivators besides the disciples of the five sects present, and it wouldn't be good if it gave rise to gossip.

It has to be said that Shen Weixun is already very worried at such a young age.

She tilted her head back with a grin, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I was just kidding."

Gu Xia was just saying it casually; she was doing quite well in the cultivation world and had no plans to change her path for the time being.

However, Shen Weixun took her question to heart and then whispered to her, "After the ghost cultivators left the arena, the cultivation world was in a state of emergency. Master and the others went to deal with the people leading the three parties. As for Qu Yimian..."

He glanced around and said, "If I remember correctly, the people from the Qingyun Sect should know better, because it seems that the one they fought was Sect Master Yue."

Gu Xia followed her senior brother's gaze and saw Gu Lanyi, whose name had just been called, shudder as if he had suddenly thought of something, and then the cold expression on his face slowly cracked.

But he wasn't the only one who realized it; the other three from the Qingyun Sect also quickly changed their expressions.

Bai Song, oblivious to social cues, and adhering to the fine tradition of asking questions when he didn't understand, eagerly asked, "Senior Brother, it seems we've forgotten about Master!"

The next second, there was a loud 'bang'.

Bai Song collapsed to the ground.

"Shut up."

Gu Lanyi withdrew her fist expressionlessly and looked at Gu Xia with a normal expression, "Come with me."

He immediately turned around, jumped onto his spirit sword, and soared into the sky.

They looked rushed from behind.

Of course we're anxious!

Gu Lanyi had only just remembered that she seemed to have a hapless master who was being dominated and abused.

I hope my master is strong and will still be alive when he arrives.

"Wow~"

The ground was filled with the croaking of frogs. Sang Wan put one hand on her forehead, her face full of envy, "No wonder you sword cultivators are like this."

"Even riding a sword is a vertical ascent into the sky."

The group of sword cultivators next to her: "..."

No, they don't usually act like that.

Gu Xia pinched herself hard to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Help! Hahaha.

"listen to me."

She turned around and patted the girl's shoulder meaningfully, "Next time, say it in front of Gu Lanyi, and I guarantee you, he can even perform a spiral ascension for you."

Sang Wan looked blankly at him. "Huh?"

really?

I kind of want to watch it.
