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

Varied……

What? ? ?

This question from the eldest brother came so suddenly that Gu Xiu couldn't help but freeze in his tracks.

Speaking of which, this eldest senior brother was actually quite talkative. He talked a lot with Gu Xiu along the way, but they were basically all about the Suling Palace. Gu Xiu pretended to be seriously ill and combined it with the intelligence he had gathered before, so he was able to barely cope with it. When he really couldn't cope with it, he would remain silent.

Everything was going smoothly before.

However, he never expected that the other party would suddenly mention him, and the turn was so abrupt.

"Senior Brother, what do you mean by this?" Forcing himself to remain calm, Gu Xiu asked inconspicuously.

"Are you still pretending to be nice to me?" The eldest senior brother suddenly became angry: "You all call me eldest senior brother, but you all treat me like a fool?"

"W...what?" Gu Xiu was confused.

However, the senior brother from Suling Palace seemed very angry and said angrily:

"Do you really think I know nothing? You people in the Soul Pivot Hall should have received the news that Gu Xiu will come to the White Tiger Secret Realm and has given you a mission. If you encounter Gu Xiu, as long as you report the relevant information, you will have the opportunity to directly enter the Soul Tracing Hall. If you can kill Gu Xiu or capture him alive, you can directly receive personal guidance from the Supreme Elder!"

"When you refused to reveal the news beforehand, I guessed that you must have known about Gu Xiu, so you specifically asked me to report it to the deputy sect leader!"

"Why, you still want to pretend?"

Ah this...

Facing the other party's questioning, Gu Xiu blinked his eyes to express his innocence.

What you said...

This is the first time I heard it too.

"What? At this point, you're still planning on hiding this from me?" His actions clearly made the eldest senior brother's face even uglier. He gritted his teeth and said, "Now that Mei Huaping is dead, you all look down on me, your eldest senior brother, and think I'm doomed to failure because I've lost my backing?"

Plum painting screen?

Gu Xiu felt that the name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this was the powerful man from Suling Palace whom he met when he first came to Longmen Pass in Zhongzhou. He immediately had a guess in his mind.

Before, I only heard that this senior brother had no status, but now it seems that he should be dependent on Mei Huaping. With the death of Mei Huaping, there will naturally be some turmoil inside the Suling Palace. This senior brother is obviously the loser in this turmoil.

This……

Is this another kind of fate?

Gu Xiu blinked, somewhat confused, but facing the other party's questioning gaze, he could only smile bitterly and said, "Big Brother, I'm just an ordinary disciple who escaped death. I..."

"Tell me if Gu Xiu is here?" The eldest brother seemed too lazy to argue with him and said directly, "You just need to tell me yes or no. Don't worry, I won't take away your qualification to enter the Soul Tracing Hall. I don't even consider it."

"This... yes." Gu Xiu had no choice but to nod.

"Sure enough! Gu Xiu is here! The news the Sect Master received turned out to be true. Gu Xiu has actually come to this White Tiger Secret Realm!" The eldest brother's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself, a fiery glow in his eyes. He then asked, "Is it Gu Xiu who is hunting you down?"

Gu Xiu thought about it and said, "Yes."

This is not cheating.

The hunt that he planned himself should also be attributed to Gu Xiu, right?

But soon, Gu Xiu couldn't answer honestly, because the eldest brother had already asked: "Where is he?"

"Well..." Gu Xiu scratched his head, not sure how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "Big Brother, Gu Xiu is very powerful, and we are not strong enough. Why don't we not get involved?"

"Not strong enough?"

This was like stepping on the cat's tail, causing the eldest brother's face to turn ugly instantly. "That Gu Xiu is just a small-time character who was boasted about outside. Do you think I can't be his opponent? Are you kidding me?"

"That's hard to say." Gu Xiu scratched his head.

The truth always hurts a little, and he hesitated whether to say something hurtful.

after all……

Even though he is only in ghost form now, killing this senior brother should... maybe... not be that difficult...

but.

The eldest senior brother's words made Gu Xiu inevitably more cautious.

Did Suling Palace know that I would come?

He even put a bounty on himself?

Why are they so sure?

Does this have anything to do with your current situation?

A series of doubts arose in his heart, making Gu Xiu more determined about this trip.

"I'm not interested in stealing your credit, and you don't need to care whether I'm Gu Xiu's opponent. You just need to tell me whether Gu Xiu has come, where he is, and where I can meet him. Tell me these, and I won't ask any more questions." The eldest brother was still relentless.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xiu thought for a moment: "Gu Xiu has already entered this place and is attacking the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation. He wants to break through this formation."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"With just this little piece of news, you still have to report it in person?"

"Of course more than that."

"What else?"

"Also, Gu Xiu and that puppet have teamed up. They will definitely try their best to destroy more valley pillars and then find an opportunity to break in. They will definitely go to the island where the deputy sect leader is, and..." Having said this, Gu Xiu looked around:

"Maybe he's already gotten in."

This made the eldest brother look around suspiciously, but when he saw Gu Xiu's half-smile, he immediately straightened his back and said, "If that Gu Xiu really comes, I will definitely tear him apart on the spot and let you know what it means to have a reputation for nothing!"

Gu Xiu just smiled at this.

There was no argument.

Although it was a bit unexpected that the other party was certain that he would come, but since Gu Xiu had already come in, he naturally had to continue making the necessary preparations.

Fortunately.

I don't know if it was because Gu Xiu was relatively cooperative, or because this senior brother was not as confident as he said on the surface, but at least he didn't continue to ask Gu Xiu questions, but just talked to him about other things in the sect, and Gu Xiu discovered.

In fact, he had been revealing a signal, which was to abandon his original camp and join the Soul Pivot Hall, and he was even short of asking me to help put in a good word for him.

Gu Xiu had no interest in getting involved in the internal affairs of the Suling Palace, nor could he get involved.

Therefore, he only dealt with the eldest brother's words in a scattered manner, while he continued to concentrate on his own plans.

at last.

After passing through an extremely terrifying miasma again, Gu Xiu's vision suddenly opened up.

We have arrived at the Tanxin Island.

The island is not very big, but its shape is very unique. At first glance, it looks like a tiger's head. The pillar of light that Gu Xiu had seen before was finally seen clearly at this moment. It was not a pillar of light at all, but a tall tower emitting divine light.

Here.

This is the true core of the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation.

The bone pillars seen along the way were like nodes one after another, constantly absorbing the broken souls of ghosts and drawing out the icy power from this place. All the drawn power gathered at the top of the tower.

Gu Xiu looked up.

At a glance, he saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged on the top of the tall tower.

The old man closed his eyes tightly, and divine light shone from his body, as if he and the tower had become one.

As if he had sensed the arrival of Gu Xiu and the others, the old man, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced over with his eagle-like gaze:

"evil creature!"

"Why are you running inside instead of staying outside?"

These words were directed at the eldest senior brother. No matter how much the eldest senior brother emphasized his identity as the eldest senior brother, or how he said he was very strong in front of Gu Xiu, but when faced with those eagle eyes, he knelt down on the spot.

no way.

The old man's aura was extremely powerful, especially when he was sitting on the top of the high tower. As he shouted angrily, towering water columns erupted from all around Tanxin Island, which was terrifying.

How could the eldest brother dare to neglect it? He knelt on the ground, slightly prostrating himself, and said tremblingly:

"Master, I am not disobeying your orders. I am here to lead this person. He..."

The eldest brother spoke very quickly and gave a brief account of what had happened.

At the end, he looked at Gu Xiu.

It seemed as if he was wondering why Gu Xiu was not expensive, and it also seemed as if he was reminding Gu Xiu to speak up for him quickly.

But the good thing is.

The old man did not pursue the matter, but turned to look at Gu Xiu:

"You said Gu Xiu is here?"

"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded.

The other party narrowed his eyes and said, "You're still saying you want to break my Soul-Locking Formation of the Nine Netherworlds?"

"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded again.

This action seemed to be nothing wrong, but it left the senior brother next to him stunned.

This kid...

Are you so brave?

Facing the deputy sect leader, he spoke so stiffly, standing there stupidly and not even greeting?

only……

What made him even more dumbfounded was that his deputy sect leader was not at all unhappy with the rude behavior of this reckless boy. Instead, he said something that made him stunned on the spot.

"Gu Xiu."

"We knew you were coming a long time ago, and we had even speculated on how you would get to me."

"I didn't expect that."

"You actually took over the body of my disciple and used it to come before me."

Varied……

What? ? ?

Gu...

Gu Xiu?

He is Gu Xiu???

The eldest brother's eyes widened suddenly, but the deputy sect leader on the high tower over there had already slowly stood up, with his hands on the railing, looking down at Gu Xiu:

"You have taken possession of the body of one of my disciples and come here alone to see me."

"Are you serious..."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"
