"What?"
"The peak master of Ganquan Peak?"
Chu Xinghe turned his head and looked at Lu Qi beside him with a surprised expression.
Lu Qi's face was still pale, but it was no longer as lifeless as before, but the strong sadness between his eyebrows could not be concealed.
"Yeah." Lu Qi nodded, then looked back behind him.
But on the mountainside behind, there were turbulent black tides rising up. The houses on the mountainside that the ancestors of Ganquan Peak had spent countless efforts to build collapsed one after another under the surging tides, and were swept away. In the tide, it gradually corrupts, melts, and becomes one with it.
At the same time, a figure gradually rose up under the support of those black tides.
The black water that filled the sky surged crazily towards the man's body as if it had found its owner.
The sadness in Lu Qi's eyes became a little more intense.
He knew that starting from today, Ganquan Peak would no longer exist.
He was powerless to change all this and could only whisper: "He initially wanted me to be his host, but I noticed his weirdness and rejected him."
"You?" Chu Qingxiao was stunned, and the expression on his face became increasingly weird.
At the same time, he also looked back at Xiang An, who was rising up on the mountainside behind him.
He could clearly feel that the aura lingering around Xiang An was becoming more and more powerful and colder.
He realized that Xiang An's fusion with the foreign god seemed to be about to be completed, and there was not much time left for them.
He must know more about the foreign god in order to make countermeasures.
"Why did the Outer God choose you?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
Lu Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know, but it seems to be related to my black prison..."
"Black Prison?" Chu Qingxiao frowned again.
He remembered that Lu Qi had told him that on the night he was unconscious, he had been injured by the sword intent that suddenly surged out of the Shenquan Sword. Could it be that Lu Qi had been targeted by the Shenquan Sword since then?
But according to Chu Qingxiao's understanding, the Outer God seems to only care about the strength of the host who comes. After all, the stronger the body, the more it can withstand his power.
And Xiang An's cultivation level is truly higher than Lu Qi's, so what reason does the Outer God have to value Lu Qi more?
Seemingly sensing Chu Qingxiao's doubts, Lu Qi's weak voice sounded again: "After returning from Brother Chu's residence yesterday, Master ordered Xiang An to be imprisoned."
"The disciples of Elder Tang's lineage were also released."
"Master's intention is to punish Xiang An properly, and at the same time also use this opportunity to thoroughly investigate various problems at Ganquan Peak, such as the magic skills practiced by Cao Lun..."
"Master is actually aware of the current swaying of Tianxuan Mountain."
"He also told me that after this time, he plans to let Ganquan Peak shrink its properties in various places. At the same time, he also wants to discuss with the peak owner to hand over the money obtained from the sale of these properties to the court in exchange for the opportunity to keep the foundation. "
"I chatted with him until very late, and then Ling'er came to look for me and said he wanted to visit Xiang An."
"Of course I will accompany her."
"At that time, Xiang An seemed to have lost his soul. He barely responded to anything we said. He seemed to be aware of his situation and understood that he was bound to die."
"His look is a bit pitiful, but I can't help him... After all, Ganquanfeng was embarrassed because of him, and several fellow disciples from the Chengjian lineage were also beaten to death in prison. "
"His death will not quell public anger."
"Ling'er was very sad, but she was a sensible girl. She knew that Xiang An's crime was unpardonable, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad and cried a lot on the way back."
"I was a little worried, so I stayed with her all the way."
"But at this moment, there was a sudden roar from the top of the mountain, and the entire Ganquan Peak began to shake, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling."
"Then the disciples on duty on the mountain peak ran down and said that the Shenquan Sword that was supposed to be placed on the top of Ganquan Peak suddenly turned into a stream of light and went down the mountain."
"The Shenquan Sword has been stable and stable for so many years. Suddenly something happened, which naturally alarmed the master."
"I knew the weirdness of the Shenquan Sword, and I was not at ease when I heard about it, so I found the master and chased him in the direction where the Shenquan Sword escaped. But the Shenquan Sword did not fly out of Ganquan Peak, but went to it. The dungeon where Xiang An is imprisoned."
"The power of the Shenquan Sword is so great that it directly penetrates the dungeon, and then a terrifying sword intention lingers around the dungeon, as if thinking about it on a cliff."
"Master has the Peak Master's Token in his hand. Logically speaking, he can safely pass through this sword intent, so he prepared to go in to find out. But I vaguely sensed something was wrong, and wanted to stop Master and let him inform The top management of Tianxuan Mountain came to deal with it, just in case."
"Master agreed, but the Shenquan Sword made too much noise. The entire Shenfeng disciples were disturbed and gathered in front of the dungeon."
"Master also felt that this was something fishy and wanted to disperse the crowd. But at this moment, the sword power outside the dungeon suddenly converged. Xiang An slowly walked out from there holding the Shenquan Sword."
"At that time, he was already possessed by an alien god, but we were unaware of it."
"The master also wanted to scold him for handing over the ancestral sword, but Xiang An ignored the master at all. Instead, he said that he had been recognized by Ganquan's ancestors and immediately took over as the leader of Ganquan Peak. He also asked everyone present who wanted to chase whom. He, naturally no one responded to his crazy appearance, so he went on a killing spree."
"At first, the master tried to stop everyone from suppressing him, but Xiang An, who was holding the Shenquan Sword, was so powerful that he was almost invincible. Our people were retreating steadily. The master realized that something was wrong and wanted to send people to other peaks to ask for help. , but at this moment, the black tide surged out of Xiang An's body, drowning everyone in it."
"He killed everyone?" Chu Qingxiao's heart sank when he heard this, but he still didn't understand why Lu Qi was so sure that the foreign god who bewitched Xiang An was the 16th Lord of Ganquan Peak. .
"Yes." Lu Qi nodded and added, "But only Ling'er and I were left alive."
"Then he resurrected the people he killed as puppets, as you can see."
"He became extremely crazy. One moment he was drinking and chatting with a certain senior brother, and the next moment he was hugging the master and crying bitterly. It was as if he had forgotten that he had killed them with his own hands."
"I woke up from my coma. At that time, Ling'er was sitting in the main hall nearby, looking nervous. It seemed that he was restrained by Xiang An's magic."
"I took advantage of the moment when Xiang An was talking to the corpses and came to Ling'er's side, wanting to take away the Shenquan Sword that he had put aside. In the previous battle, I vaguely guessed that Xiang An was strange and... His terrible power comes from this vicious sword."
"But when I held the sword, I heard the voice of the heroic spirit lodged in the divine spring sword from Xiang An's mouth."
"He told me that he was the sixteenth peak master of Ganquan Peak. He had enlightened on the method of immortality hundreds of years ago, but was killed by a traitor. He could only use his spiritual body to inhabit the Shenquan Sword. He asked me what my wish would be. Unwilling to accept his inheritance, kill Xiang An and save Ganquan Peak."
"It was a very poor story, but there was a magic wrapped in his voice that made me confused and difficult to make a correct judgment."
"Just when I was about to accept his bewitchment, a strange power rose up in my body."
"That power gave me the feeling that it was the power of the red ghost that had been entrenched in my body before, but I wasn't sure. In short, that power allowed me to maintain some clarity and reject the evil spirits."
"It seemed to be very angry. He told me that I would pay the price. Then Xiang An seemed to be controlled and started to curse me and punch and kick me until I passed out."
After hearing Lu Qi's statement, Chu Qingxiao frowned and seemed to have thought of something.
"Xiang An's mind has completely collapsed. The outside god can completely control him to do anything. To deal with you, all he needs to do is tell him that you ruined the relationship between him and Zhou Ling'er. Given Xiang An's condition, he naturally has no faith in him. I doubt..." He analyzed like this, and then added: "But since the Outer God still left a life, it means that he may also want to use you as a host."
Lu Qi nodded when he heard this and wanted to say something more.
At this time, Lu Sandao on the side suddenly said: "This is a critical moment, you two, stop analyzing it, they are about to catch up!"
Chu Qingxiao was shocked. At this moment, he looked back and saw a raging black tide rushing towards him on the mountain road behind him.
And above the surging waves, distorted human faces would appear from time to time, like the souls of those killed and imprisoned by Xiang An.
The tide surged very quickly, and in an instant it was only ten feet away from everyone, who was still quite a distance away from the foot of the mountain.
Chu Qingxiao looked at the mountain gate in the distance, and then at the black tide behind him that was getting closer and closer to him.
His heart suddenly stopped.
"What are you doing? You don't want to live anymore?" Lu Sandao was shocked when he saw this, looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked in shock.
Ziyu also gave Chu Qingxiao a puzzled look.
Chu Qingxiao said in a deep voice: "We can't escape. If we want to survive, we have to fight in danger!"
Lu Sandao's eyes widened. She also looked back at the extremely fast black tide, and realized that what Chu Qingxiao said was indeed true.
Her heart sank, and she drank the last sip of wine from the flask as if she was resigned to her fate. Then she looked at Chu Qingxiao and asked, "Do you have any idea?"
"It's not a solution." Chu Qingxiao said with a solemn expression.
"but……"
"Only one try."
