After several trials, I finally figured out what Qi Yan stood for!
At this moment, Gu Qingshan's mind went back and forth countless times.
He couldn't help but think of some things from before.
When he returned to his clan, the flying boat full of supplies came to his mind again.
That was the resource in exchange for the life-extending elixir for Supreme Elder Wang Hongdao.
A world where resources cannot be replenished...
What's more, the highest combat power of Guangyang Clan is so controlled by others, so it is normal for Rakshasa Peak to covet Guangyang Clan.
Under such circumstances, Qi Yan wanted to practice dual cultivation with the famous Rakshasa girl.
This is tantamount to playing with fire.
but!
Although Qi Yan is ruthless and selfish, he is by no means a fool.
Yes, he is lustful, but in so many years of records, he has never made a mistake because of lustfulness.
He was on guard against even a beauty like Chu Liu because of her superb formation skills.
This is a cautious and intelligent man.
Under what circumstances would such a character take huge risks and invoke external forces?
Unless his situation is so bad that he has to do this...
While Gu Qingshan was thinking, a few breaths of time had passed.
Seeing Qi Yan's silence, the two hall masters mistakenly thought that he was still stubborn and refused to listen to advice.
The anger in their hearts could not be restrained.
Zhao Wuchui couldn't help but clenched his fists.
Ye Yingmei's expression gradually turned cold.
At this time, Qi Yan suddenly sighed.
He stood up, put his hands behind his hands, and walked step by step to the edge of the high platform.
"Sister Yingmei, Lao Zhao, do you think I'm a fool?" he asked.
The two Taixu Realm great monks were stunned.
We were obviously talking about Rakshasa Peak, why did it suddenly jump on you?
idiot--
They slowly came around.
"Yes, although you are cold, cruel, and behave erratically..." Zhao Wuchui murmured.
Ye Yingmei nodded involuntarily.
Judging from the past, Qi Yan rarely does stupid things.
He is a very smart person, otherwise he would not be able to practice to the Taixu realm.
If so, why would he do this?
The two monks in the Taixu Realm thought in unison.
Their anger gradually subsided, but new questions arose in their hearts.
"Qi Yan, please have a heart-to-heart talk with me, why do you insist on pursuing the Rakshasa girl?" Ye Yingmei asked.
Gu Qingshan was silent for a few breaths, thinking about all the information rapidly in his mind.
They are wooing their apprentice "Gu Qingshan".
Although this kind of wooing is hidden in the gifts given by the elders, it is fair and aboveboard, and even Gu Qingshan will not be suspicious of it.
But Zhao Wuchui actually took the initiative to explain to Qi Yan.
For a Taixu Realm martial arts master like him to take the initiative to explain to the enemy, this is already superfluous.
This shows some clues.
Zhao Wuchui and Ye Yingmei have some ideas about "Gu Qingshan".
Some idea...
There is too little information to deduce.
Then change your thinking.
When did their attitude toward "Gu Qingshan" change?
——Yes, I replied that the apprenticeship ceremony has not been completed yet.
One day the apprenticeship ceremony was not completed, and one day Gu Qingshan was not Qi Yan's official apprentice.
But the apprenticeship ceremony will be completed sooner or later.
"Gu Qingshan" will also become Qi Yan's apprentice sooner or later.
Besides, it is unlikely that Qi Yan would give up his apprentice to someone else. That would be contrary to common sense.
Calculating it this way, then——
There is only one situation, Zhao Wuchui and the others can get "Gu Qingshan".
Qi Yan is dead.
Yes, this is the only answer.
From Qi Yan's fate, we can completely infer Qi Ruoya's situation.
Wang Hongdao never appeared.
What did he do?
It's obvious.
Gu Qingshan's heart felt cold.
From this guess, a series of things seen before were deduced, and corresponding clues were revealed.
The two hall masters were afraid of the Rakshasa girl.
They didn't mention a word about the leader Qi Ruoya's tribulation.
The Supreme Elder Wang Hongdao was absent from the meeting.
No one knows where Wang Hongdao is.
In addition, the more important news is that the release of spiritual stones for sect monks has been delayed.
Is this the reason for everything?
Gu Qingshan thought of the spaceship full of supplies again.
Thoughts appeared in Gu Qingshan's mind one by one, and were quickly connected together to form some kind of guess.
A few more breaths of time passed.
Zhao Wuchui said impatiently: "Qi Yan, Hall Master Ye is asking you something, why don't you answer."
Gu Qingshan suddenly said: "Because I don't think my father can survive this disaster."
The words were like a thunderbolt, shocking the two great monks in the Taixu Realm and almost immediately took action.
"Why?" Zhao Wuchui asked.
He lowered his eyes and tried his best to hide his murderous intention.
"Actually, he has an injury that has never healed. It is very difficult to overcome the tribulation." Gu Qingshan said.
Ye Yingmei and Zhao Wuchui looked at each other.
It seems that there is another truth that Qi Yan doesn't know.
The two hall masters relaxed a little.
"Qi Yan, I don't believe you would tell me such a secret thing," Zhao Wuchui said.
Ye Yingmei also shook her head.
"This is actually a very minor matter, not as important as whether we can survive." Gu Qingshan said something incomprehensible.
After hearing this, Ye Yingmei and Zhao Wuchui's expressions changed.
"us?"
Ye Yingmei muttered something.
Zhao Wuchui couldn't help but said: "What do you mean by this? Qi Yan, are you out of your mind? No one can understand what you are saying."
Gu Qingshan suddenly became furious, strode up to Zhao Wuchui, and poked his chest with his finger.
He roared loudly: "Zhao Wuchui! We are all doomed. We will die in the mouth of the world demon without even a chance to be reincarnated! And now you are still pretending in front of me!"
This sentence struck Zhao Wuchui deep in his heart.
He couldn't help but be stunned.
"What do you mean, I don't understand." He murmured.
He was not sure what the other party's words meant.
But people like Qi Yan would never joke about life and death.
Ye Yingmei said in a deep voice: "Qi Yan, please speak clearly."
Gu Qingshan sneered: "How long do you think we can survive?"
"Don't be alarmist, we are living well." Zhao Wuchui said.
——We are living well, but you are going to die.
Zhao Wuchui added in his mind.
But he heard Qi Yan continue: "My father is about to die, and there is only one Xuanling Realm monk left in Guangyang Gate who is seriously injured and dying, which is your master, Wang Hongdao."
"How can Guangyang Gate like this resist the attack of Rakshasa Peak?"
Zhao Wuchui's face darkened and he said, "That's why we hope you won't provoke--"
"Provoking? You actually said that I provoked them."
Gu Qingshan laughed loudly, as if he had heard something interesting.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Wuchui asked.
"As for Rakshasa Peak, where there are three Xuanling monks, as long as they really want to kill us, do you think we can escape without provoking them?" Gu Qingshan asked.
Zhao Wuchui was speechless.
Ye Yingmei defended him: "At least we still have Supreme Elder Wang Hongdao, Rakshasa Peak dare not..."
Ye Yingmei couldn't speak any more.
She also felt how feeble her words were.
The Supreme Elder Wang Hongdao needs to use the elixir from Rakshasa Peak every day to survive.
Rakshasa Peak didn't even need to do anything. He only had to stop the exchange of elixirs and could wait quietly for the disappearance of the strongest power of Guangyang Sect.
The two fell into silence.
Yes, this is the real situation.
This is the situation that all three hall leaders have to face, apart from the internal struggle within the sect.
Gu Qingshan looked at the two of them and felt slightly calm.
Only when the matter reaches this level will the two hall masters listen carefully to his words.
If he continues to talk about matters within the sect, the other party will just look at him like a clown, waiting for him to finish speaking, waiting for him to die at the hands of the returning Wang Hongdao.
After a long time, Zhao Wuchui said: "Is this why you provoke this generation of Rakshasa women?"
He stubbornly used the word "provoke", as if the other party brought all this.
Gu Qingshan looked at Zhao Wuchui with a sullen face.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Wuchui said uncomfortably.
Gu Qingshan laughed.
"Old Zhao, tell me the truth. How many resources does the sect have left that can be used to exchange elixirs with Rakshasa Peak?"
"Of course it's still full-" Zhao Wuchui opened his mouth to say.
Gu Qingshan waved his hand to interrupt him: "Stop! Don't tell lies at this time. This is a matter of life and death for you and me. I hope everyone can be honest with each other."
"If you are honest, I will also tell you honestly the way I have found to survive."
The two hall masters stared at him.
"The way to survive?" Ye Yingmei thought thoughtfully, "Qi Yan——"
Gu Qingshan waved his hand to interrupt her and said: "There are three powerful people in the Xuanling Realm in Rakshasa Peak. Do you think they care about our life and death? Their resources are only enough for themselves."
"Existences like you and me will threaten their status if we take a step back, and they will need to spend resources to support them if we take a step back. If you were them, what would you do?"
Gu Qingshan smiled at Ye Yingmei and said: "Sister Yingmei, I'm afraid the three formation masters in the sect will live better than you and me."
Ye Yingmei opened and closed her lips several times, but didn't say a word.
Yes, Qi Yan is telling the truth.
The destruction of countless sects has the same ending.
Gu Qingshan leaned forward, looked at Zhao Wuchui and said: "Old Zhao, again, tell me how many resources the sect has available."
He continued: "Tell me the truth and I will tell you what our only way to survive is."
Zhao Wuchui looked at Gu Qingshan for a while and then said: "I remember that you were not in the sect some time ago."
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"Many people left with you, and none of them came back." Ye Yingmei also said.
"Where have you been?" Zhao Wuchui asked.
"Old Zhao, you tell me your story first, and then I will tell you." Gu Qingshan said.
"What if you lied to me?"
"There are two of you, and my level is much lower than yours."
Zhao Wuchui lowered his head after hearing this.
Time seems to be frozen in this moment.
After a long time.
Zhao Wuchui opened his mouth with difficulty and spit out a sentence.
"The resources... can also support the last exchange of elixirs."
Ye Yingmei's expression suddenly changed.
She lost her voice and said: "Old Zhao! How could it be! I remember last time you said it was enough to last a few more years."
Zhao Wuchui lowered his head and still did not speak.
Gu Qingshan took a breath.
It seemed that the situation at Guangyang Gate was more dangerous than I imagined.
But his situation has changed for the better.
It was not until this moment that he came into this world that he had any confidence in his heart.
——The certainty of survival.
Gu Qingshan asked in a low voice: "Old Zhao, Wang Hongdao must have asked you to say this to calm everyone's hearts, right?"
Zhao Wuchui still didn't speak, but nodded imperceptibly.
Ye Yingmei's face turned pale.
She seemed to have thought of something and gritted her teeth: "He even lied to me..."
"Wang Hongdao must use elixirs to die. If he wants to continue to live, he must monopolize all the resources of the entire sect until there is nothing left in the sect." Gu Qingshan said.
He sighed: "You must all know it in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it."
The two of them were silent.
This is a common problem among all people. Before the desperate situation comes, they always imagine that everything is false.
Gu Qingshan looked at them, his mind wandering again.
Maybe it's not just a fantasy.
Maybe Wang Hongdao used some method to prevent them from resisting.
Then, if you can't impress them, things will fall apart.
The situation has reached a point where the truth must be revealed.
Sure enough, Zhao Wuchui raised his head sharply, stared at him and said, "I'm already very candid."
"Yes." Gu Qingshan said.
"Actually, I am a little desperate, so I took the risk to let you know about this. Once the master notices that I have leaked the secret, he will not let me go." Zhao Wuchui said.
"Indeed." Gu Qingshan agreed.
"Then, Hall Master Qi, can you show us your sincerity?" Zhao Wuchui said.
Gu Qingshan looked at Zhao Wuchui.
Zhao Wuchui also looked at him.
Zhao Wuchui's eyes were full of expectation, and his whole body was tense.
If he lets someone like Qi Yan know the inside story of the sect, his master will definitely not let him go.
If Qi Yan still plays tricks on him this time, he will risk his life to kill Qi Yan.
"I do have a solution." Gu Qingshan said.
As he spoke, he couldn't help but look around.
Seeing this, Zhao Wuchui smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, all the magic circles are open this time."
The implication is that sometimes the magic circle is not fully activated.
The sect's financial difficulties are already so shocking.
Gu Qingshan walked up to the two of them, lowered his voice and said something.
"Actually...I found a new world."
