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

"I'm willing to lead the way for you!"

Just as He Mengyun was lost in thought, one of the disciples of the Suling Palace who was being eaten by the evil spirit finally couldn't bear the pain of his soul being torn apart, and couldn't help but beg for mercy from Gu Xiu:

"Save me, save me!"

"I don't want to die. I'll lead you the way, lead you the way!"

These words served as a wake-up call to the others, and they immediately followed suit and begged for mercy. For a while, the cries of pleas for mercy continued one after another. In the face of such extreme pain, betraying the sect did not seem so terrible.

Just a pity.

Gu Xiu acted as if he didn't hear what they said and continued to stand by and watch coldly.

His silence was like a sharp blade that struck the hearts of several people, causing these disciples of Suling Palace who thought they had grasped a life-saving straw to fall into complete despair. They roared and cursed, thinking that Gu Xiu was not keeping his word and was going back on his word.

But there were also people who reacted faster. They drew their weapons and attacked the fellow disciples beside them. However, seeing the frightened eyes of their fellow disciples, that person ignored them and instead drew his sword again to attack another person.

Everyone else was shocked.

But he quickly reacted.

This person had said before that he wanted someone to lead the way. The key wasn't to lead the way, but to...

one person!

The subsequent developments were much simpler. The remaining six disciples of the Suling Palace, while being eaten by the evil spirit, brandished their swords and attacked their fellow disciples. The intense pain made their attacks more ruthless than the other.

at last.

A winner was chosen among them. He was a monk with narrow eyes and wounds all over his body. After cutting off the head of his companion and even crushing his soul, the winner looked at Gu Xiu with anticipation on his face.

His eyes were full of pleading.

Fortunately.

Gu Xiu did not disappoint him. With just a wave of his ghost, he helped him dispel the evil spirits around him. Then he took out a bottle of pills from another person's storage ring and threw it over.

The man felt as if he had been pardoned and quickly swallowed the pill to heal his injuries.

the whole process.

Gu Xiu didn't say a word.

He Mengyun, who witnessed the whole scene, only had a familiar feeling.

This group of disciples of Suling Palace were originally from the same sect, but when they encountered a strong enemy, they did not immediately think of ways to gather strength to fight the enemy together. Instead, the first thing they thought of was to attack their fellow disciples around them. This ruthlessness and decisiveness made He Mengyun feel a chill in his heart.

At the same time, He Mengyun couldn't help but think of Qingxuan.

Are those people like Qingxuan also such people?

"Let's go."

Gu Xiu, on the other hand, didn't have so many thoughts. After seeing that the disciple of Suling Palace had recovered a little, he immediately started to set off.

The disciple of Suling Palace dared not resist and hurriedly led the way.

He Mengyun wanted to catch up.

Gu Xiu turned his head and glanced at her with a calm expression, without saying a word.

Facing such a gaze, He Mengyun felt a pain in his heart: "Master... Junior Brother..."

"I have abandoned Qingxuan and have completely severed all ties with him. Fellow Daoist He, please don't call me Junior Brother anymore." Gu Xiu spoke, interrupting her.

"Master..." He Mengyun was about to call him "Junior Brother" again, but seeing the coldness in Gu Xiu's expression, he finally suppressed his heartache and said, "Gu Daoyou, I... want to go with you. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. If you encounter any danger, Gu Daoyou... you don't have to worry about me. After all, I have a puppet body, and I might be able to help at a critical moment. And I... I... have my reasons for going."

She didn't tell anyone about Senior Sister Nian Chaoxi.

Because she saw the calmness in Gu Xiu's eyes, without emotion or hatred, as if he was looking at an ordinary stranger he met on the road.

He had really severed all ties with Qingxuan.

I'm afraid it won't make any difference whether I tell others about the arrest of my senior sister or not.

Fortunately.

Under He Mengyun's expectant gaze, Gu Xiu finally didn't refuse. He turned around, walked forward, and left. If she was facing a stranger, it would be understandable to do so, but she had memories, and seeing Gu Xiu's cold attitude at this moment, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

But no matter how sad it was, it was already too late.

Damage can't be undone.

A man, a ghost, and a puppet began to move forward into this secret realm of ice and snow.

The deeper they went, the more intense the murderous aura in the air became, causing a stinging sensation like needles when it scraped against their souls. This aura, which should have been pure and violent, was now restrained and distorted by a cold, sticky soul-path power.

Every hundred feet or so, a pale bone pillar appeared, its shafts engraved with twisted runes and its apex inlaid with a shimmering soul crystal. These pillars, like living creatures, constantly drew upon the pervasive Gengjin evil energy and the chilling earth veins, transforming it into a more filthy and sinister energy more suitable for soul cultivators. This energy was then channeled towards the core of the secret realm through a faint network of runes visible on the ground.

Gu Xiu stopped in front of a bone pillar and frowned.

He Mengyun was puzzled and looked at the bone pillars carefully for a while. He was surprised to find that each of these bone pillars was made of the bones of countless monks. If he got close, he could even vaguely see the flesh and blood that had not been scraped off sticking to them.

Look at how fresh the flesh and blood is.

These were obviously living people who had died not long ago. Even the bones piled up in these bone pillars, from the dying old man to the babies who should still be in swaddling clothes, had become part of these bone pillars!

"How many people have you, Suling Palace, killed?" He Mengyun was incredulous.

The disciple from the Suling Palace shrank his head and glanced at Gu Xiu cautiously. When he saw that Gu Xiu was also looking at him, he said, "Probably... probably three hundred thousand."

What? ? ?

He Mengyun gasped, "Your Suling Palace is at least a reputable and upright sect, how could you slaughter so many people? Most of them are mortals who have never practiced cultivation. You even spared no one, young or old, regardless of gender!"

She is a puppeteer and has seen all kinds of corpses.

but……

This was the first time she had seen so many human corpses.

"This one……"

"The deputy sect leader has ordered that the treasures in the White Tiger Secret Realm are of vital importance to our Suling Palace. We must control the secret realm hub as soon as possible, so any amount of... loss... is worth it..."

After saying this, the disciple from Suling Palace didn't even dare to turn his head.

He Mengyun was extremely shocked when he heard this.

loss?

The dignified Suling Palace regards the lives of mortals as a loss?

Even if 300,000 people died, do you still think the loss is worth it?

Suddenly, two patrolling disciples of Suling Palace appeared from behind an ice hill ahead. They saw the disciple leading the way, Gu Xiu behind him, and He Mengyun, who had returned to his puppet form.

Suddenly stunned.

"Senior Brother Zhao? Senior Brother Gao? Aren't you guarding the door? Why are you here? And what's going on with this puppet?" One of the patrolling disciples asked vigilantly.

The disciple named Zhao who led the way suddenly turned pale.

Hemming and hawing.

It was Gu Xiu who was relying on the body of the junior fellow student surnamed Gao who had taken over his body. He was the first to speak: "I am under the order of the deputy sect leader to send this puppet over."

"What does the deputy sect leader want with this puppet?" the patrolling disciple wondered.

Gu Xiu was silent.

The patrol disciple wanted to ask more, but his companion stopped him: "How can you pry into the Sect Master's affairs? Let him go!"

The patrolling disciple also reacted.

Quickly make way.

Gu Xiu nodded and immediately stepped forward again. Brother Zhao, who was leading the way, was extremely anxious at this moment. Seeing his fellow disciples beside him, he wanted to ask for help, but at the critical moment, a hand was already on his shoulder, and then Gu Xiu's voice came:

"Brother Zhao, we must not delay the Deputy Sect Leader's instructions, don't you agree?"

This time.

Senior Brother Zhao, who had just had some thoughts, shuddered and finally didn't dare to think about it anymore. He could only obediently take Gu Xiu and continue to walk inside.

only……

Just as they were about to leave, the patrol disciple who had been let go earlier caught up with them.

Just when He Mengyun was about to make a move, the other party handed over a storage bag and said, "It just so happens that the Great Elder just asked for the heads of 5,000 girls and 5,000 boys. If you two brothers are going there, you can take them along."

As soon as these words came out, He Mengyun felt a chill in his heart.

Five thousand virgins and five thousand boys...

Head!!!

Gu Xiu, however, remained calm and took the storage bag. He even used his divine sense to examine it before nodding and saying, "We will deliver it."

"Hahaha, then I'll have to trouble you, senior brother. Please tell me that it was passed on by Zhou Shangli of Zhenlingwei." The guard disciple smiled flatteringly and did not forget to tell his own name to avoid the credit falling on others.

Gu Xiu nodded to show that he understood.

This action made He Mengyun feel a little depressed.

Junior Brother Gu has always been the most intolerant of evil. If he had encountered such a thing five hundred years ago, he would have gone on a killing spree to seek justice for those who died unjustly. But he did not do so this time, and even the expression on his face was extremely calm.

Although she understood that this was a temporary measure, Gu Xiu's indifferent expression still made her feel sad, and at the same time she hated herself even more. If they had not treated Gu Xiu like that, causing his temperament to change drastically, how could her junior brother be like this?

But just as he was thinking this, he heard Gu Xiu suddenly ask, "Junior Brother Zhou, did you get all these heads by yourself?"

"This... hehe, that's not the case, but the greatest credit here belongs to me and my brother, so I'd like to trouble you, senior brother, to help me and say a few good words." Junior Brother Zhou obviously misunderstood, and said this with a smile on his face, while taking out a bag of spirit stones from his arms and handing it to Gu Xiu.

Gu Xiu did not refuse the bag of spirit stones. He took it and shook it: "Junior Brother Zhou, you have a bright future ahead of you."

"Haha, that depends on you, Senior Brother from the Soul Pivot Academy, to take care of it..." The other party was about to answer when Gu Xiu suddenly said:

"It's a pity, Junior Brother Zhou, you have no future."

Ok?

The guard named Zhou was stunned.

But before he could react, a cold light suddenly flashed by. He felt his vision change, as if he was flying and turning in a circle in the air. He only saw his headless body and the body of his companion kneeling on the ground.

Before he could figure it out, a ghost flew past his face and shattered his remaining soul on the spot!

In an instant, two people were killed!
