"Guyuan!"
Under the blood cloud, Gu Yuan's expression became even more indifferent when he heard the familiar voice.
His movements were extremely slow and steady.
The bowstring of the Sunset Bow was pulled apart little by little, and a strange sound began to echo between the heaven and the earth. The originally turbulent blood cloud became still, and bright red blood lines began to fall from the blood cloud.
These blood lines are like spiritual snakes, moving together and converging in front of the bow string, but they can never condense into one.
Gu Yuan looked at Ling Suo coldly.
"Why……"
A sigh.
The golden ax disintegrated little by little and turned into a mass of financial fluids in the blood line.
When a dark gold long arrow was placed on the bowstring of the Sunset Bow, the strange noises between heaven and earth disappeared.
"Boom——"
The string moved and the arrow came out, shooting straight at the green wood.
The world went dark for a moment. At this moment, Xichuan and Tantai Xuan were the first to react and faced Feijian.
"Stop it, this is his chance."
An unfamiliar and majestic voice sounded in the ears of the two of them. They were stunned. The long dark gold arrow had penetrated the space and arrived in front of Mu Qing.
"Pfft——"
A sword pierced the heart, blood mist filled the air, and Mu Qing was shot down by an arrow, unable to fight back.
"Crash."
The blood cloud that hung over Wushan collapsed and turned into a downpour of blood.
Gu Yun's face turned pale and he let the rain of blood wash over his body.
"Is he dead?"
"This arrow is guided by Qi and blood. His Qi and blood were boiling just now. The worst result is that his heart and veins will be destroyed, and he will be a useless person even if he doesn't die."
Gu Yuan nodded, suddenly feeling like the world was spinning, and he fell towards the ground.
"Bang."
He crashed into the bloody mud, and when he tried to get up, a foot stepped heavily on his face.
Gu Yuan opened his eyes with difficulty, and what he saw was a dim owl-headed mask.
"you……"
"Thank you so much, Young Master Gu, for helping me." Xiu Shuzhu
The red-robed divine envoy was holding the Heaven-Swallowing Bowl, and the falling blood rain was absorbed by the Heaven-Swallowing Bowl before it had time to hit the ground.
But this is just a little comfort. In the successive battles, less than half of the bowl of blood that was originally filled was left.
Gu Yuan almost consumed all the strength in his body when he pulled out the arrow. Feeling the anger behind the red-robed divine envoy's mask, he suddenly said: "The strongest people in Wushan now are those brought by Mu Qing. You should be grateful." I."
The red-robed god envoy exerted his strength on his feet, "I am just thanking you."
Gu Yuan said: "Your plan has not completely failed."
The red-robed divine envoy retracted his foot and asked, "Do you know what our plan is?"
"It's nothing more than wanting to control the Gu family."
The red-robed divine envoy was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "If I choose Gu Tian, then you are right, but I choose you."
Gu Yuan's eyes suddenly opened wide.
He had always been wary of the voice in his head, but now he had to think that some of the words might be true.
"I?"
"Yes, you. It is not unreasonable for Gu Yuanhui to choose you. You will become the holy son of my religion."
Gu Yuan struggled to get up, but Hongpao was indifferent to his reaction and took off his mask in front of him.
"ah--"
As soon as Gu Yuan ran out a few steps, the mask fell on his face. The hot temperature eroded into the depths of his flesh. Gu Yuan pressed his face until it was bleeding, but he could not take off the mask. The mask seemed to have been with him. The faces grew together.
Gu Yuan suddenly turned his head, and what he saw was the face of a middle-aged man, cold and majestic.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
When the man saw that the mask could fit Gu Yuan to such an extent, his expression softened slightly and he said, "Don't worry, don't you want to defeat Mu Qing? Come back with me and I will make your wish come true."
Gu Yuan shook his head crazily: "I've already done it
arrive. "
The man's eyes dropped slightly and he stood there.
Gu Yuan saw that his lips were moving, but he couldn't hear any sound. Before he could react, a scream sounded in his head: "It's the forbidden curse of the Blood God Sect. Close your five senses."
Gu Yuan immediately did as he was told, and the feeling of panic and fear immediately dissipated a lot.
The man looked at the sudden change in his eyes under the mask and said, "You are indeed not dead."
"Master Zhou, do you want to blame me for ruining your plan?"
After his identity was revealed, Zhou Qian looked calm and did not care about the various calculations and gains and losses between each other. He said directly: "We can cooperate. I will help you control this body."
"I'm very moved. But I understand the teachings of the Blood God Cult. The so-called Holy Son is just a container for the evil god you cultivated."
"Do you still have a choice?" Zhou Qian said.
"There is really nothing I can do, but I can tell those people on the North Slope your identity."
Zhou Qian's eyes darkened, "I will help you build a new body, and you will help me carry forward the Blood God Sect."
"...What is the relationship between the Zhou family and the Blood God Sect?"
"The Blood God Cult is a weapon."
"vow."
"Can."
In just a few words, the two sides turned from enemies to allies.
Zhou Qian was not happy. He looked at the ridge and frowned: "Why does he dare to do this?"
"Haha, do you think Zhuque City is the same as your Zhou family?"
"Isn't it?"
"I advise you not to pretend to be their identities in the future. Wherever that young man goes, there will be trouble, and the harm will far outweigh the good."
Zhou Qian was about to speak when his expression changed slightly, "Let's go!"
In the distance, Gu Tian was dragging his seriously injured body towards this side. Seeing that Zhou Qian was about to take Gu Yuan away, he forcibly increased his speed and punched Zhou Qian.
A layer of mist appeared on Zhou Qian's face, blocking Gu Tian's sight. He ducked sideways to avoid Gu Tian's fist, and a sword appeared in his hand, which was cut horizontally and penetrated deep into Gu Tian's ribs.
Gu Tian glared angrily, clamped Zhou Qian's sword with his flesh and blood, and blasted Zhou Qian's face with his other fist.
Although Zhou Qian was also seriously injured, the gap between his and Gu Tian's realms was here. His sword energy was strong, and he cut off half of Gu Tian's arm. Not satisfied, he turned his wrist to cut off Gu Tian's heart veins. .
"boom--"
A euphorbia penetrated the space and went straight to the door facing Zhou Gan.
Zhou Qian was shocked, and withdrew his sword to defend himself. The sword broke instantly. He groaned, stretched out his hands, grabbed the Zhu Rong Halberd, turned around in a circle, and threw the Zhu Rong Halberd back.
"Walk!"
Zhou Qian flashed, grabbed Gu Yuan's shoulder, and ran towards the distance.
At the top of Wushan Mountain, Zhong Ling'er put away the Zhurong halberd that was a few taller than her, looked at the guy who had turned into a few black spots, and eagerly said, "I should be able to keep them here."
Gu Yingqiu looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing was supported by Bai Qingyi, his lips were chapped, and his eyebrows were frowning together from time to time. Although his heart was still suffering from huge pain, the arrow wound had been healed.
Mu Qing accepted some of the news delivered by Zhu Rong when he dissipated, and shook his head seriously: "They even almost suppressed Hou Tu, forcing them to panic, and probably both sides will suffer."
Mu Qing withdrew his gaze and looked at Gu Tian who was lying on the ground in the distance.
Half a day later, night fell.
Without the protection of the dome formation, several formations to avoid the cold appeared in the ancient family land.
Gu Yingqiu specially selected a quiet and clean room for Mu Qing to rest, and Mu Qing did not end his practice until this moment.
"The benefits that Zhurong's essence and blood will bring to you are greater than I expected."
Mu Qing touched his heart and felt the stable warmth. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Now that I can stably draw fire with my body, I have successfully started, right?"
Meng Zhang said: "Yes, but if you want to cultivate Shura Qi, you still need a lot of refined blood, even if you have the blood of your current body
It's strong enough, but I estimate that if you want to cultivate Shura Qi, you will need at least three times more. "
"Where can I find it?" Mu Qing felt helpless.
Meng Zhang smiled and said: "Although Wushan is destroyed, if you take away all the power of blood and energy inside Wushan, you should be able to complete more than half of it."
"Is this appropriate? They are all so miserable."
Mu Qing walked out of the room and quickly found Bai Qingyi.
Bai Qingyi turned her back to him and didn't notice his arrival. Mu Qing walked behind her, and then Bai Qingyi realized what she was doing and said in surprise: "How is your recovery?"
Mu Qing directly held her hand, "I'm actually not hurt."
Bai Qingyi felt the warmth of Mu Qing's palm, symbolically broke away for a moment, and then did not break away again.
Only then did Mu Qing see clearly that she was holding a list of names in her hand, and remembered something: "Are these the people who killed your father back then?"
"Yes." Bai Qingyi leaned in Mu Qing's arms and sighed softly: "I originally thought that if I had the chance, I could take revenge myself and kill these last few people."
Mu Qing said: "We can do it now."
"No need." Bai Qingyi smiled bitterly and said, "The ancient priest killed all these people. In fact, she gave this list to me. If I fill in a few more names on it, she will also make it."
"She's showing you kindness."
"No, it's to you, or to put it more bluntly, I hope that the current Gu family can get your protection."
Mu Qing was surprised: "Would she think so?"
Bai Qingyi said: "I walked around and found that Wushan was destroyed, which was a big blow to the people of the Gu family, including the ancient priest."
In a palace on the other side, Gu Yingqiu was also mentioning Mu Qing.
"It's not enough to have Jiutian Breathing Land, you also need Mu Qing here."
Gu Yinghe frowned and said nothing.
In front of the two of them, Gu Ningchun was lying quietly on a brand-new black jade platform. Gu Tian had already reattached his broken arm, but he was supposed to be recuperating, but he was sitting on his knees beside the cold jade platform without saying a word.
The two women had stabilized Gu Ningchun's remnant soul with Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and to their surprise, Gu Ningchun showed signs of awakening.
Gu Yinghe sighed softly and said, "He was seriously injured. Why should we let him take action? You also know that if you want to revive the eldest sister, you need to consume a lot of his Hongmeng Purple Qi."
Gu Yingqiu nodded, "I know. He also saved my life. I owe him enough, and that's not all."
Gu Yinghe's forehead is full of black lines.
Gu Yingqiu suddenly turned his head and looked at her, as if he wanted to understand something, and asked: "Aren't you already a Taoist couple with him? Why do you still have such a big burden on your heart?"
Gu Yinghe said with a sullen face: "When did I become a Taoist couple with him?"
Gu Yingqiu blinked his eyes, with an expression as if he had learned to tell lies with open eyes, and said: "He has your aura on him, and you also have his aura on you. You are both practicing dual cultivation, so you are not a Taoist couple?"
Gu Yinghe turned sideways, feeling ashamed, "We are not the kind of relationship you think we are, just a simple couple."
Outside the palace, Mu Qing did not need the guidance of the Gu family and found the place after looking for Gu Yinghe's scent. He and Bai Qingyi were about to walk in when they heard Gu Yingqiu's exclamation: "Oh my God, there are still more people in this world." There is pure dual cultivation!"
Mu Qing stepped back and then coughed slightly: "High Priest?"
After a while, Gu Yingqiu personally welcomed Mu Qing into the palace and asked tentatively: "When did you come?"
Mu Qing: "I just arrived."
Gu Yingqiu breathed a sigh of relief, led Mu Qing to the Hanyu Terrace, and talked about Gu Ningchun's situation.
At this time, even Gu Tian, who had been silent all this time, looked up at Mu Qing. As soon as Gu Yingqiu finished speaking, he asked a question that made Mu Qing a little strange: "Is there still Gu Yun's soul in Ningchun's body?" ?」
Mu Qing checked carefully for a moment and said, "No. But there is still a trace of breath left. Gu Yun's spirit has not left for a long time."
Hearing this, Gu Tian felt even more regretful and said, "I misunderstood Xiao Yuan."
The expressions of the Gu Yinghe sisters changed slightly and they quickly looked at Mu Qing.
Mu Qing was calmer than they expected, and even comforted the two girls in turn: "Although Gu Yuan did want to kill me, he also contributed to my being able to enter the country so quickly, and I promised Senior Zhu Rong , I won’t blame him.”
After Mu Qing explained his attitude, Gu Yingqiu pointed at Jiutianxi soil and said: "Actually, Gu Yuan found us first..."
When Mu Qing heard some of the details, he took a deep look at Gu Yinghe and asked, "Did you discover Gu Yuan's problem at that time?"
"How could she have that ability?" Gu Yingqiu looked sideways, "It was Senior Xichuan who reminded us."
Only then did Gu Yinghe say: "Gu Yuanhui may have been bewitched by Gu Yun when he suddenly shot that arrow, but what he did completely changed the situation and created a siege for those people."
Neither of the two women continued to talk in depth. In fact, they had no differences on how to deal with Gu Yuan.
Gu Tian didn't understand this either, so he took the initiative and said, "If you meet Xiao Yuan again in the future, treat him as Gu Yun."
Only then did Mu Qing remember to ask: "I remember that Hongpao used a mask to control Gu Yuan. Does Gu Family Master still remember Hongpao's true face?"
Gu Tian shook his head and said: "He is very cautious. Even if he takes off the mask, he uses secret techniques to cover his face. But I also have some guesses that they should not be anonymous. Based on their understanding of the Gu family, they may themselves be standing. The top force in the spiritual world."
Gu Yingqiu said: "I have arranged for people to clean up the battlefield in Wushan. There may be some new clues in the next few days."
Mu Qing nodded and asked, "What does Patriarch Gu think their real purpose is?"
Gu Tian was silent for a long time before he said, "I guess they and City Master Mu may have the same plan."
Mu Qing was stunned and looked deeply at Gu Tian. He nodded and did not ask any more questions. He looked at Gu Ningchun who was lying on the black jade platform and said: "The essence and blood of the earth will be used as a guide to activate Jiutian." Xirang, no matter the cost, maybe he can revive her."
"But her soul has been disabled for too long. If she really wakes up, her lifespan will be extremely limited."
Gu Tian was quite moved: "How long?"
Mu Qing replied: "The long term can be three years, the short term can be one month."
"Ha~"
Mu Qing originally thought that Gu Tian would be disappointed, but unexpectedly Gu Tian was so excited that his whole body trembled and said, "I am willing to give everything I have even for one day."
Mu Qing was silent.
Gu Tian was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became panicked: "What do you want? If I don't have it, I can find it right away."
Mu Qing shook his head, "The most critical things are already here. All we need is a large amount of blood essence from those close to us."
"I come."
Gu Yingqiu and Gu Yinghe both spoke out.
Mu Qing nodded: "In addition, we need to find someone to activate Jiutianxi soil, and Ling'er happens to be here."
Gu Yingqiu: "But your body..."
Mu Qing smiled and said, "You should worry about yourself."
Mu Qing took out a few bottles of blood-replenishing elixirs, handed them to Gu Yingqiu, and said, "With the protection of Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter. You should recover first before starting, and let Ling'er regain a good mood first. "
When the two women heard the last sentence, they rarely laughed out loud.
Zhong Ling'er moved a large number of treasures from Wushan. In addition to a few ancestral artifacts, other consumable items such as elixirs were handed over, and she was in a sad situation.
However, they have made an agreement with Zhong Ling'er that Jiutianxi soil will be handed over to Zhong Ling'er for safekeeping in the future.
Three days later, in the room.
Mu Qing opened his eyes and looked at the empty futon in front of him, feeling a little helpless.
In the past three days, his energy and blood were full, and it was the time when both of them needed to cultivate together. As a result, both Bai Qingyi and Gu Yinghe were avoiding him. Sneaky feeling.
Mu Qing left the room and came to the lobby.
In the lobby, everyone gathered around an unfolded map and pointed, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Mu Qing already knew what was going on from Gu Yinghe last night, so he asked, "Are you sure where you are going?"
Gu Yingqiu turned around and said, "Ling Haizhou."
Linghai Prefecture is located in the middle of the exchange route between Suzaku City and Sanxian Island. If the Gu family moves here, it will actually come into the sight of both parties.
Mu Qing sighed softly: "You don't need to prove yourself like this. I believe you."
In the past few days, Gu Tian has summoned the elders of the Gu family, and now the head of the Gu family is Gu Yingqiu.
Gu Yingqiu was very serious about this matter and said: "If you are willing to give us a place to recuperate, naturally we cannot push your limits. Speaking of which, we still have more advantages."
Gu Yingqiu glanced at Gu Yinghe inadvertently, "We will be getting closer in the future. At least the Gu family will not lack cultivation resources."
The Gu family used to gain a foothold in the spiritual world with two important supports.
One is in the vast Northern Wasteland. Even though many places have been explored by treasure hunters from Juye City over the years, as long as the Jueling Realm is not closed off, any newly discovered ruins will be taken away by the Gu family.
Another place is the ancestral shadow from Wushan.
Now that the Gu family has gathered and moved south, they have become rootless duckweeds. Whether the future development will be good or bad all depends on Mu Qing's thoughts.
But Mu Qing had no idea of controlling the Gu family, and said: "We will send people to explore the ruins here in the Northern Wilderness in the future, and the treasures obtained will be equally divided. In addition, after you establish your foothold in Linghai State, you can go to the Three Immortals Island. Although the transit point in Suzaku City is to exchange strength for some resources, it should allow you to make a smooth transition."
Gu Yingqiu nodded. She was very busy these days, busy convincing those who refused to leave, and busy planning the future of the Gu family. Only in the dead of night would she think of those who could no longer come back.
"In my eyes, although this is a disaster, it is also an opportunity. Without the shadow of the Wu clan, the Gu family should leave the Fusong Plain and find a more suitable path for us."
"You can rely on Mu Qing to take care of you from now on."
Mu Qing laughed: "We are friends, don't worry."
"If a friend can do this, the Gu family will owe you a lifetime." Gu Yingqiu said and solemnly handed a Nai ring to Mu Qing.
Mu Qing frowned: "What do you mean?"
Gu Yingqiu said: "Since you have decided to leave, you must take away whatever you can take away from Wushan. There are three hundred Wuyuan Pills in this ring, which should be of some help to your practice."
The expression on Gu Yingqiu's face was solemn with a hint of caution. Mu Qing saw it, smiled slightly, and accepted the ring calmly: "It's not that it helps a little, but it helps a lot."
Gu Yingqiu smiled back, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Mu Qing originally wanted to rescue Gu Ningchun today, but found that Gu Yingqiu was not in good condition, so he had no choice but to give up.
Seven days later, everyone gathered together.
Zhong Ling'er controlled the Jiutian Breathing Land, Gu Yingqiu and Gu Yinghe provided a large amount of blood energy, Mu Qing used the Hongmeng purple energy to harmonize, and Gu Ningchun finally woke up with the concerted efforts of everyone.
"Are you really not going south?"
"No."
Gu Yingqiu's expression was gloomy, and even she did not expect that the three sisters would be separated soon after they reunited.
Gu Ningchun found Mu Qing and bowed seriously before saying with a smile: "Ningchun may not be able to repay City Master Mu for saving his life."
Mu Qing shook his head and said, "Just call me Mu Qing."
Seeing Gu Tian following Gu Ningchun, looking hesitant to speak, he took the initiative and said, "Everything went well."
Gu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Ningchun was very calm and asked: "How many years do I have?"
Mu Qing: "Three years."
Gu Ningchun nodded: "Three years is enough."
Mu Qing was puzzled: "Are you really going to the west? That's just a guess on my part. There's no concrete evidence."
Over the past few days, the Gu family’s
The person had collected a lot of blood on the battlefield in Wushan, but only by actually seeing the person could one tell whether it was the other person.
Gu Ningchun said: "We, as a couple, owe Xiao Yuan a lot, so naturally we should try our best to rescue him."
Gu Yingqiu said with a cold face: "What if we go in the wrong direction and you die on the road?"
Gu Ningchun smiled and said: "Isn't it bad to die on the road?"
"I rarely leave the Fusong Plain. Being able to cross the Taishi Continent and see different scenery in the last stage of my life is also a great thing for me."
"Since you're going to run around, bring these two things with you."
Zhong Ling'er suddenly came forward and took out a palm-sized sword boat and Jiutianxi soil, "The aura on your body is very kind, and it is willing to follow you."
The Gu family's ancestral artifacts and the magic weapons obtained from the ruins of the Northern Wilderness have now found their way into Zhong Ling'er's hands. This seems to be a big loss for the Gu family, but everyone in the Gu family has no objections to this.
Because the resources Zhong Ling'er can bring to them are actually what they need.
After Gu Ningchun accepted it generously, he said goodbye to the others one by one, and finally said: "Mu Qing, can I have a chat with you alone?"
"sure."
Everyone left. Gu Yinghe wanted to go with Gu Yingqiu, but was stopped by Gu Yingqiu.
Gu Ningchun and Gu Yingqiu looked at each other and smiled, "Yinghe, please stay too."
When there were only three people left in the room, Gu Ningchun took the initiative and said: "It is said that the eldest brother is the father. The parents of our three sisters are dead, so I am their parent."
"I want to know, can I entrust Yinghe to you?"
"Sister!"
Gu Yinghe quickly stopped.
Gu Ningchun looked at Mu Qing and smiled without saying a word.
Mu Qing looked at Gu Yinghe and said, "Actually, my relationship with Yinghe is only at the last step. If Yinghe is willing, please rest assured."
"good!"
Gu Ningchun nodded, "This matter is settled."
Mu Qing was surprised. When he looked at Gu Yinghe, he turned sideways and said nothing.
