I have been bound in a forbidden place for five hundred years. Why are you crying when I am a casual

The three talismans originally placed in front of Gu Xiu were three choices for Gu Xiu. Gu Xiu had even planned to reach out and take the talismans, but suddenly changed his mind at the last moment.

This change was so abrupt that even the teachers in the academy were stunned at this moment.

He looked at Gu Xiu in surprise.

But soon, he smiled and said, "I said, everything is in your hands. If you don't choose, I won't force you to make any choice."

"The game has already begun. I thought you would be afraid of losing?" Gu Xiu asked.

"I am indeed afraid of losing." But the Master said, "But you have overlooked one issue."

"what is the problem?"

"I never used you as a pawn."

These words.

This made Gu Xiu slightly stunned. He looked at the teacher in surprise, but saw that the teacher was looking at him calmly, with a frank look in his eyes.

Chess players are good at planning and manipulating chess pieces.

But the premise is that he is controlling a chess piece. If he does not value a chess piece that completely obeys his orders, he will naturally not be able to make every move truly and accurately.

"In that case, I will take my leave first." After a moment of contemplation, Gu Xiu clasped his fists and said goodbye.

The teacher nodded as a farewell.

Gu Xiu did not hesitate and headed towards the exit of the cave, which had turned into an ordinary cave.

The Master just looked at him from beginning to end.

Did not stop, did not persuade.

Until Gu Xiu's figure completely disappeared, the expression on the teacher's face remained unchanged, but beside him, a figure appeared silently. If someone from the academy was here, they would definitely be able to recognize it.

This is Shang Jiuge, the leader of Tianshu Pavilion.

As soon as he appeared, the Pavilion Master's eyebrows couldn't help but frown. Looking at Gu Xiu who had completely left, he couldn't help but ask:

"Master, why did you let him go like this?"

"He's the key to this game, and he's the destined one to this Four Divine Beasts Secret Realm. If he really doesn't go, you'll lose everything, and there'll be nothing you can do about it."

"The destined one?" The Master simply shook his head. "But since he is destined, why force it?"

"But……"

Shang Jiuge was about to say something else, but seeing the teacher's calm eyes, she finally suppressed the thousands of doubts in her heart, pursed her lips and said:

"The demon emperors of the demon race are already impatient. Master, do you need to go back and see them now?"

"no need."

"But……"

"It's understandable that they want to enter the Three Divine Beasts Secret Realm. Since that's the case, aside from the Vermillion Bird Secret Realm, which is temporarily not allowed, we should allow them to participate in the competition in the other two secret realms."

"What?" Shang Jiuge couldn't help but be surprised by the Master's words. "But the Divine Beast Secret Realm is related to the Three Yuans Sea of ​​Sin. It's fine if human cultivators enter, but if the demons enter, I'm afraid something bad will happen."

"How many times have you and I calculated this game?"

"This... sixteen thousand three hundred and seventy-five times."

"what's the result?"

Hearing this question, Shang Jiuge instantly felt like a deflated ball. He pursed his lips and uttered two words:

"All lost..."

"After the Canglong Secret Realm, did your calculations yield different results?"

"This..." Shang Jiuge thought for a moment and said, "There is still a glimmer of hope, and the situation can be reversed."

"Where is this ray of hope?" the master asked again.

“I… I didn’t find it…”

"If that's the case, then why bother continuing to obsess over calculations?" The Master smiled, ignoring Shang Jiuge's surprised look. He simply turned his head and looked towards the passage where Gu Xiu had already disappeared, and said softly:

"and."

"He's not going now, it's not a rebellion."

"He already knows the truth about Sanyuan Niehai. Now that he knows it, he can't really sit back and watch. His decision to leave now may just mean that he has a better option."

……

Gu Xiu was unaware of the discussion taking place in front of the Canglong Secret Realm. At this moment, he had transformed into Guan Qiyu again, walking through the mountains and forests, but beside him.

But there is one more person.

"Are you sure you don't want to attend this event?"

"This time, three secret realms have appeared one after another, and they were all controlled by the academy in advance. All the heroes in the world have gathered here. This is an unprecedented grand event. Not only the major holy lands and divine dynasties, but also the demon tribe, the Western Desert, and the other two islands of the Three Immortal Islands have sent personnel to participate."

"It can be said that the three secret realms now have almost gathered the most talented people in the entire Haoyu. Whether they fought against you five hundred years ago or were unable to fight for various reasons, they have all come out."

"Are you really going to give up just like that?"

The person who appeared in front of Gu Xiu at this moment was none other than Jiang Ruchu, who had come to Zhongzhou with Gu Xiu from Beiming before.

Now that the three secret realms of the divine beasts have all appeared, even Jiang Ruochu, who had temporarily separated from Gu Xiu before, has received orders from his master and has to reappear and contact Gu Xiu.

but……

In response to Jiang Ruochu's words, Gu Xiu just shook his head: "No."

"Why?" Jiang Ruochu.

Gu Xiu replied: "I have other things to do."

"what's up?"

"Outside the Immortal Burial Valley, I have not yet fulfilled my promise to Mo Han Tower."

This was one of Gu Xiu's original goals when he came to Zhongzhou, but because of the Taihang Academy incident, he was caught up in the overall situation and this goal was put on hold.

Even when the teacher handed over three teleportation jade slips just now, Gu Xiu almost agreed.

but……

At the last minute, he received a summons.

That was from the old drunkard. He didn't know what means the other party used to use the power of talismans to convey messages to him. The content of the message from the old drunkard was to remind him.

Rush to the Immortal Burial Valley as soon as possible.

Gu Xiu didn't know what he wanted to do, but he knew that something unusual must have happened if the old drunkard who had been silent for so long could suddenly send a message. If that was the case, why not go to the Immortal Burial Valley first?

As for the three secret realms related to the Three Yuan Sea of ​​Sin...

Gu Xiu had no intention of giving up.

This time, however, he no longer wanted to be a mere, slightly unusual piece on a chessboard. He wanted to take this opportunity to step outside the chessboard and carefully examine the current situation. He also wanted to take some time to reflect on some of the unknowns.

It is simple and direct to join the game yourself, but sometimes it is also because you are in the game.

But one leaf blocks the view.

"What a shame! I'm going to the Suzaku Secret Realm on Master's orders. I thought I'd be able to fight alongside you, battle against heroes from around the world, and venture into the martial arts world. What a pity!"

Jiang Ruochu said with some regret, but she didn't force anything. After confirming that Gu Xiu was not interested, she said goodbye first:

"In that case, I'll leave next."

"The Immortal Burial Valley is not too far from the three secret realms. If you change your mind, you can contact me."

Drop these words.

Jiang Ruochu turned around and left completely.

Looking at her leaving figure, Gu Xiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

He can feel it.

Jiang Ruochu seemed to know something.

However, Gu Xiu shook his head, withdrew his thoughts, and headed towards the Burial Valley of Immortals again.

Qixia Mountain has a special status, almost similar to the Tianyuan Sword Sect, but more low-key than the Tianyuan Sword Sect. Moreover, Jiang Ruochu had already met Ji Qinghan before, which further illustrates the specialness of Qixia Mountain.

As the contemporary genius of Qixia Mountain, it is not surprising that Jiang Ruochu knows some things that he does not understand.

She didn't want to say more.

Naturally, Gu Xiu wouldn't ask any further questions.

In the next two days, Gu Xiu began to rush to the Immortal Burial Valley with all his strength.

We met quite a few people on the road, most of whom were carrying the flags of the major sects, holy places and the royal court of the Divine Dynasty. Most of them were aiming for the three major secret realms, while some of them came for the Genius Competition.

The emergence of the three sacred beast secret realms was indeed an unprecedented event, but everything was clearly within the academy's expectations. This was because the academy had already taken control of the three sacred places from the moment they were first revealed.

But Taihang Academy did not want to take the secret realm for itself.

Instead, they were merely responsible for distributing entry qualifications to the secret realms. The world was filled with countless heroes and outstanding individuals, and the grandeur of the three secret realms' emergence had attracted countless powerful individuals. However, it was impossible for everyone to enter the secret realms all at once, so the academy simply took advantage of the situation and set up a competition for geniuses.

No matter who, no matter what force.

As long as you are strong enough and can defeat enough opponents in the Tianjiao Competition, you will be qualified to enter the three secret realms.

In fact, the Tianjiao Competition has already begun, and Gu Xiu heard a lot of stories about it on the way.

Heroes from all over the world gathered at Taihang Academy. Every day there were reports of some genius defeating the strong ones on the Heavenly Ranking, and there were also reports of veteran strongmen defending their status and killing those who offended them.

same.

Most of the winners entered the secret realm of their choice as soon as possible. However, as of now, the three secret realms have no one in or out, and no one has gained much and left.

As for Yun Zheng, who had already entered the Suzaku Secret Realm, Gu Xiu also used secret methods to contact Shattered Star.

The answer they had gotten so far was that Yun Zheng had entered a place of inheritance and hadn't returned yet. Suixing wasn't surprised by the news that Gu Xiu wasn't entering the secret realm for the time being.

It even told Gu Xiu.

Fortunately, Gu Xiu didn’t go, otherwise he would have been bored to death.

Because these three secret realms were all filled with various formations, each one more outrageous than the last, at least for now, no one had reached the Suzaku Secret Realm where Suixing and the others were. After confirming that they couldn't help Yunzheng, Suixing wasn't idle either. He searched the secret realm for quite a while with the little black monkey and Xiaoyao Pei.

Just a pity.

Even with the Xiaoyao Pei, the nemesis of all formations, they couldn't move freely in the Suzaku Secret Realm. They were stopped at the last moment by a closed divine palace. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't enter.

Shattered Star told Gu Xiu.

He felt that the secret realm seemed to be waiting for someone. If it wasn't that person, no matter how strong others were, it would be difficult to enter.

This made Gu Xiu more certain of a guess in his mind, and he became less anxious to enter the secret realm of the three sacred beasts.

three days later.

Gu Xiu, who had been walking forward, finally stopped.

He arrived.

Further ahead is one of the famous restricted areas in Zhongzhou.

Immortal Burial Valley!

but……

Gu Xiu did not go in directly.

Instead, he frowned and looked at the sky not far away, where warships were rising into the sky, heading straight for the interior of the Immortal Burial Valley, ready to set off at any time.

Is someone planning to attack the Immortal Burial Valley?
