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

Seeing Gu Xiu's serious expression, Wan Mingzhao, who originally had a sneer on his face, couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look at Gu Xiu as if he were a monster:

"Gu Xiaoyou, do you really think so?"

"Yes." Gu Xiu nodded.

"Pfft~!" Wan Mingzhao suddenly laughed. At first, he seemed to want to acknowledge her and not laugh out loud, but in the end, he seemed to be unable to hold it back. He bent over and laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. He even laughed until tears came out.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"It's mainly because of you, Little Friend Gu, what you said was too ridiculous. I really couldn't help it, hahahaha..."

He began to laugh unscrupulously, and the look he gave Gu Xiu was like he was looking at a childish person.

"Childish." Wan Mingzhao shook his head. "If you, Gu Xiaoyou, were just looking for an excuse to refuse, I might be a little impatient, but I would only think that you were trying to raise the price. If that's what you really think, then you are truly too childish."

Gu Xiu frowned.

"Why, you don't understand what I mean?" Wan Mingzhao laughed.

"I think you must be saying that since ancient times, cultivators have been forbidden from wantonly killing mortals. This has always been a rule, and it is followed by all sects. Even the Beiming Demon Realm is doing its best to abide by it. Your idea is not naive, right?"

Gu Xiu raised his eyebrows: "Do you have any other opinions?"

"You have already reached the Divine Transformation Realm. Logically, you should understand the truth of this world." Wan Mingzhao shook his head and said:

"In this world, the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. The strong can make the rules, and the weak can only rely on the strong and struggle to survive."

"Mortals are born weak and have short lifespans."

“And in this world.”

"To be weak is to seek death. They are born to be resources for us monks and to provide assistance to us monks. When kindness strikes, we can provide them with shelter and help these poor ants live a better life."

"But ants are just ants after all."

"They don't have the qualifications to choose, so while they can be of use to the monks, their greatest role is to become our cultivation materials."

"Deputy Sect Leader Wan may have forgotten that before you embarked on the path of cultivation, you were just a weak mortal as you call it." Gu Xiu frowned and spoke.

"You are wrong." Wan Mingzhao shook his head:

"I haven't forgotten my experiences before I embarked on the path of cultivation. And precisely because I remember, I can tell you that, precisely because I was weak at that time, I already had enlightenment in my heart."

"Even if I really encounter a cultivator who wants to refine me, I can willingly accept my fate."

"Because we are weak, we are guilty."

"You should understand this principle." Having said this, Wan Mingzhao looked at Gu Xiu deeply:

"You once lost your cultivation and became a cripple. You were even treated like that by Qingxuan for three years. After your story became known, many people cursed Qingxuan, calling him an ungrateful person for having failed you. They felt that those people in Qingxuan were heartless and turned their backs on you."

"but……"

"To tell you something that may make you unhappy, in my opinion, Qing Xuan is only wrong in two points."

"First, they were blind and failed to see your true potential."

"And the second reason is that after they determined that you were a useless person, they didn't completely eradicate you and didn't kill you."

"That's all."

"As for the rest, in my opinion, Qingxuan did nothing wrong."

"I even think you should realize this too. The world is just the way it is. Without strength, you should accept any tragic fate that may come your way. The only thing you can do is strive to become stronger, rather than complaining."

"In this world, only the weak cry."

When saying this, Wan Mingzhao's face showed indifference towards life. It was obvious that in his eyes, mortals without cultivation were not even worth living.

Seeing his expression like this, Gu Xiu fell silent for a moment.

Wan Mingzhao just smiled disdainfully at his silence:

"I know you may not be able to accept the truth of this world right now, but I want you to know that this is actually the true inner thoughts of most monks."

"The only difference is that some people have such thoughts but don't dare to actually say them out loud, nor do they dare to put them into practice. Meanwhile, I, at Suling Palace, dare to think and act. Furthermore, I can tell you that if you want to survive in Haoyu, or even want to clash with the forces behind that descending immortal, you have to stop being so naive. Only then will you have a chance of success."

"otherwise."

“Even if you are blessed, in the end, you can only be a container of blessings.”

Gu Xiu looked at him seriously, until he found that his eyes were full of determination, without any worries or hesitation at all, then Gu Xiu was finally sure.

Wan Mingzhao was not joking.

He really thought so.

This made Gu Xiu feel a little emotional, but he didn't argue. He simply asked, "So, if I insist on rejecting you now, will I end up like the weak mortal you described, becoming an ant crushed by your Soul-Training Palace?"

"It seems that although you are a little naive, you are not stupid." Wan Mingzhao nodded:

"I have a rough idea of ​​your current situation. Although I don't know why, I can tell that you are just a ghost possessing one of my disciples."

"If we meet other people, they might not be able to do anything to deal with your ghost."

"But I am here in Sulinggu."

"Your ghostly body is even weaker than an ant in front of me. If you agree to my conditions, I can indeed fulfill my previous promise to you. My Soul-Traveling Palace will do its utmost to help you recover. But if you still can't see the situation clearly and are still so naive."

"Then me."

"I will crush your soul into pieces and kill you completely."

Until now, the friendly smile on Wan Mingzhao's face finally disappeared completely. Just now, Gu Xiu was seizing the opportunity to obtain as much information as possible, and he was also seizing the opportunity to spy on Gu Xiu's current situation as much as possible.

And now.

I have learned almost everything I need to know, and there is no need to continue wasting my breath with such a ghost.

only……

Even at this moment, Gu Xiu still seemed to be distracted. Instead, he suddenly asked, "The black-robed man who told you I would be here before, wasn't one of your Anlou people? Or, in other words, that person isn't considered one of your Suling Palace's own, right?"

"You still have the mind to think about this?" Wan Mingzhao sneered, but still nodded: "You are right, he is indeed not one of us."

"That's normal, otherwise he wouldn't have harmed his own people." Gu Xiu nodded, looking relieved.

These words.

Wan Mingzhao frowned immediately: "Gu Xiu, do you think that at this time, you still have a chance to turn things around?"

"That's not the case." Gu Xiu shook his head.

"Oh?"

Wan Mingzhao had just revealed a triumphant smile when Gu Xiu suddenly said, "To turn things around, you have to fall down and then rise again. I didn't fall down, so how can I say I turned things around?"

These words made Wan Mingzhao's eyelids twitch slightly.

next moment.

"boom!"

A loud noise, like thunder, suddenly came from not far away, and the surrounding bone pillars that absorbed the cold air began to shake violently at this moment.

The change came extremely suddenly.

The cold light in Wanming Zhao's eyes flashed in an instant, and he glanced towards the distance, but the moment he looked.

Another roar sounded, one after another.

Followed by.

Figures appeared hurriedly:

"Sect Master, the formation is under attack, the Nine Nether Soul Locking Formation is under attack!"

"Sect Master, several bone pillars suddenly broke for unknown reasons. It seems someone has tampered with them!"

"We need to adjust our formation quickly, suspected enemy attack!"

"The formation has been destroyed, severely damaged!"

"..."

As these elders appeared to report, the bone pillars above the cold pond suddenly shattered one after another. In the blink of an eye, half of the bone pillars had already collapsed. There was no sign at all before this, and no one even noticed how it was done.

"Did you do it?" Wan Mingzhao immediately set his eyes on Gu Xiu, his eyes blazing with fire, as if he wanted to eat him alive on the spot.

"It wasn't me." Gu Xiu shook his head: "It was those mortals you killed who did it."

"What nonsense! Those ants have been dead for a long time. Even their souls have become part of the formation. How could they still destroy my formation?" Wan Mingzhao shouted angrily.

"You also know that the souls of those mortals have become part of this formation?" Gu Xiu asked with a smile.

Wan Mingzhao raised his eyebrows.

Then he seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly turned back to the high tower where he was before. As he kept pinching the magic formula in his hands, all the colors around him began to disappear and turned into black, white and gray. In this black and white world.

Can see clearly.

The miserable ghosts that were supposed to act as chains, at this moment, all began to break free from their chains. They no longer acted as ghosts transporting the waves of power of the formation, but instead launched attacks one after another towards the densely packed array center of the formation.

Gu Xiu really didn't lie to him.

Those bone pillars were not destroyed by Gu Xiu, but by the wronged souls of mortals who were used to fill the formation.

This is……

"Soul formation backlash!" Gu Xiu gave the answer, his eyes filled with frost:

"at the same time……"

"It's also the resistance of those mortal souls who, as you said, should become ants and be slaughtered at will!"

"This is the rebellion of ants!"
