In the northern wasteland, the clouds high in the sky are soaked in night and chill, and glow with a cold blue.
Xichuan stood above the clouds, with the dark blue sky below him. For him, the heaven and earth had lost the reference for measurement.
This is a virtual place that few people visit.
The cold Gangfeng already carries the overpowering meaning of heaven, which is more powerful than the sword energy of ordinary mortal sword cultivators. If it invades the meridians of the body, it will leave an indelible coldness.
If everything goes well, Xichuan should appear next to Mu Qing at this time and take them away, instead of blowing the strong wind here.
Xichuan looked ahead, and the strong wind blew past him, hitting the protective force around him wantonly, making bursts of distorted and dull crackling sounds.
This strong wind is everywhere, rejecting any existence that does not belong here. Gu Tian stands not far away, with blood all over his body to resist the strong wind, looking in the same direction as Xichuan, his eyes a little solemn.
Soon, under the force of the strong wind, a tall figure was forced out and stood a hundred feet away.
This is an extremely tall man with sparse white hair on his head. He looks very old.
But even for such an old man with lowered eyes and raised eyebrows, he did not release any breath, and was still being blown by the strong wind from high in the sky, but nothing happened.
The most important thing is that the sunset bow in Gu Tian's hand ran into this person's hand, or it should have been in this person's hand in the first place.
This old man, who was watching his age decline, felt like a red sun that was about to set down the mountain.
Xichuan probably guessed the identity of the old man—Gu Yun, the eldest elder of the Gu family.
Xichuan looked at Gu Tian, stretched out his palm, and the ruby-like Yin wooden sign floated quietly above his palm, and said with a smile: "You can finish what you just didn't finish."
Gu Tian's expression was a little ugly.
He would appear in front of Xichuan, and he would have let Xichuan know about Gu Yun's existence, and even named Sunset Bow as Gu Yun's hand.
But whether Gu Yun shows up or not, the threat he brings to Xichuan is completely different.
Gu Tian said: "Senior, you should know the importance of this Yin Wooden Tablet to my Gu family. If you are willing to return this thing, the Great Elder and I can guarantee you that no one from the Gu family, including Gu He, will come looking for you and you." The people around you are troublesome.”
Xichuan said with a half-smile, "You don't look like a descendant of the Wu clan."
"Gu He walked around the world with a body made for him. There must be something wrong with his practice. Well, let me think about it, this body contains pure blood of the Witch Clan. It seems that after stepping onto the Immortal Stage, his There is something wrong with his physical body. Does he still dare to leave his dojo now?"
Gu Tian was silent for a moment, then admitted Xichuan's guess, and said: "There are three tribulations in the realm of immortality. Each tribulation is more difficult for the descendants of the Wu clan who choose the way of heaven than waiting to reach heaven. Elder Gu He and I have different positions. But I still respect him for daring to take a new path. Senior has not only ruined Furukawa's avenue, but also regretted the extra path that my Gu family created."
Xichuan said disdainfully: "If the Tao can be easily destroyed by others, then it cannot be recognized by the Tao of Heaven, and it cannot even be regarded as a Tao passed down to the world."
When Gu Tian said this, he looked at Gu Yun and said, "You are the descendant of the Wu clan with the most balanced bloodline that I have ever seen. Are all the current descendants of the Gu family inherited from you?"
Gu Tian sighed inwardly at Xichuan's vision. He couldn't help but feel a little silent when he remembered that there were real witch clans at the same time as Xichuan.
Gu Yun opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "I am not the descendant of the Wu clan with the most balanced bloodline in my body. The most balanced one is my father, who created the Gu family's current inherited technique."
Xichuan said: "Who is your father?"
Gu Yun remembered Xichuan's identity and said, "Ancient stone."
Xichuan's eyes moved slightly: "He also has a name called Wu Shi?"
Gu Yun nodded slowly: "My father and Wu Shan were born from the same mother. My father inherited my grandmother's surname. My uncle left the Wu clan because my grandfather handed over the position of clan leader to someone with the human surname. Father, not uncle.”
Xichuan said: "So the beginning of the Gu family started with your father? Then you should be considered a contemporary of me. I didn't expect that you could live in a normal world for so long just by surviving the physical disaster. "
There was a rare hint of sadness in Gu Yun's cloudy eyes.
Emotion: "I have indeed lived for a long time... I have witnessed many descendants go to places farther than me, but because I refined the blood essence left after my father died, they died from generation to generation. I But still alive.”
Xichuan said: "You are willing to live for such a long time, just like those who pioneered."
Gu Yun shook his head and said nonchalantly: "Maybe my father was wrong. If my uncle had not left the Wu Clan, the Northern Wilderness might be more vibrant now."
Gu Yun raised his head and looked at Xichuan and said: "Senior, I came here partly because I calculated that I might be able to solve a cause and effect. My father had asked me to take the remains of Uncle Gushan back to the Gu family. Buried in Wushan."
"I didn't expect Wushan to still be there." Xichuan sighed and said, "I'm afraid I can't agree to your request. Gushan has no intention of returning to the outside world until his death, otherwise I will definitely bring him out, even if it's just a ray of consciousness. Let him see the world today."
"That's it..."
Gu Yun said: "Since it is uncle's last wish, then so be it. I have many karma, but I don't care about this one."
"Great Elder..."
Gu Tian looked at the calm Gu Yun and felt very uncomfortable. He asked Xichuan: "Senior Xichuan, judging from your current attitude, are you determined to be an enemy of my Gu family?"
Xichuan nodded calmly and said, "Wushan and I are friends. Judging from our historical origins, we are destined to be enemies."
Gu Tian said in a deep voice: "Even if I promise to put aside our grudges in front of the Great Elder, you are still unwilling to hand over the Yin Mu Pai?"
Xichuan said: "The reason why the Gu family is so dominant in Beihuang is not just by reasoning with others, right?"
Gu Tian nodded expressionlessly and said: "As the head of the Gu family, I don't want to antagonize people like senior, but that doesn't mean I will back down. Since senior doesn't intend to accept the good intentions of the Gu family, then if senior dies, There’s no one to blame.”
Hearing this, Xichuan looked towards Gu Yun a hundred feet away.
In his time, almost everyone in the Wu clan was born with divine power. Apart from some sword cultivators, there were few opponents in the same realm, and they could even fight across borders.
Wisps of blood energy began to circulate around Gu Yun from one place in Gu Yun's body. The wrinkled skin on Gu Yun's body filled up at a speed visible to the naked eye. Gu Yun, who was already very tall, became extremely powerful and domineering due to the stimulation of blood energy. , the old twilight on his body was swept away.
Xichuan watched this scene calmly, thinking that in a simple competition of strength, he would probably not be Gu Yun's opponent, but an enemy like Gu Yuan could just be used to confirm his current Tao.
Xichuan has enough confidence in himself, but...
At a certain moment, Xichuan caught a glimpse of Gu Tian's movements from the corner of his eye, and felt a little cold in his heart. He stepped in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You have to stay here, don't force me to take action."
Gu Tian looked at Xichuan, who was in a calm mood, and said with a smile: "Senior never mentioned Mu Qing in front of me. I thought you weren't worried about him at all. But don't worry, even if you don't show up, Senior, the Gu family still values this young man very much." .”
"Perhaps the best solution is to catch them all and exchange Mu Qing's life for the Yin Mu Card in your hand. Our Gu family doesn't want to completely break up with you."
Xichuan frowned and said, "You carry a pretty good protective magic weapon, but I can still kill you with one move."
Gu Tian narrowed his eyes into a thin line, pointed at Gu Yun in the distance, and said: "I believe that senior has this strength, and I also ask senior to believe in the strength of the great elder holding the Sunset Bow."
Xichuan said: "It is true that he can fully draw the sunset bow, but with his current physical condition, if he wants to shoot an arrow that seriously injures or even kills me, his life span of several decades may be reduced to half Yue, as the head of the Gu family, are you willing to bear such a price?"
Gu Tian said with some admiration: "Senior is a man who once ruled a city full of casual cultivators. He is indeed good at negotiating, but you don't know the rules passed down by the Gu family. If the head of the family is killed, the elder will kill the enemy at all costs. , as for the remaining time, it is enough for him to establish a new head of the family."
Xichuan said: "The new head of the family is not you."
"..."
There was an unspeakable silence.
Gu Tian lowered his eyes, as if imagining
Seeing this situation, Gu Yun, who was holding a bow in the distance, stopped for a moment, seeming to be curious about Gu Tian's choice.
Soon, Gu Tian let out a breath and said, "I am a very selfish person. The revival of my family is not an honor to me. This makes me very tired."
After Gu Tian finished speaking, his body sank, heading towards the world under the clouds.
A cold light flashed in Xichuan's eyes, and he waved lightly towards Gu Tian's figure. As his fingers wavered, the invisible ripples of the avenue were already covering Gu Tian like a silk net.
And almost at the same moment when Xichuan took action, an unusually loud sound sounded in the distance, suppressing even the sound of the howling wind in the virtual realm.
A golden long arrow picked up the strong wind of the virtual realm and shot towards Xichuan with an extremely domineering momentum.
The three people in this virtual realm all kept their word.
Xichuan realized that his Dao aura was about to be locked by a hint of blood evil intent. He glanced at Gu Tian, who was motionless in the clouds, and sighed in his heart: "I hope you have already broken through the miasma of consciousness before he breaks through it." Back to Gyecheon Castle."...
Before Xichuan was about to be completely locked, he peeled off a breath and stayed in place. He flashed and fled elsewhere.
The sword shot by Gu Yun quickly penetrated the aura left by Xichuan, but it did not stop there. Instead, under the guidance of Gu Yun, he pursued Xichuan with undiminished power.
In the virtual realm, there was a stalemate in a boiling state. Maybe the next moment, the winner will be decided between Xichuan and Gu Yun.
But in the snow-covered wilderness, a new round of pursuit has just begun.
