The space around them suddenly split open, not giving anyone any chance to react or time at all. Tens of thousands of longswords flew over from the cracks. It was a very spectacular scene.
A majestic killing intent rolled over, as if the person standing in front of them was a super expert. In an instant, it was almost impossible for them to even try to resist it.
No matter what, these people were powerful figures at the Saint-level. They quickly regained their senses, and their bodies dodged the flying swords at a strange angle. At the same time, they were also forced out of this mountain peak.
However, the feeling of having narrowly escaped death could not be dispelled. Everyone had an expression of lingering fear.
In the end, he had underestimated the person who had set up the array. It was truly too terrifying.
The Sect Master of the Ancient Sect’s face was livid. He said apologetically, “I underestimated you earlier. I thought there was no danger and made everyone scared.”
“I’ve never seen such a strange formation. Who did it?!”
“Xie Mingze also said that the Supreme Purity Sect did not collude with the Demon Region! How could they have such a profound formation technique? It must have been done by the Demon Region. There must be an unspeakable secret hidden in it.”
“Now I see what the Supreme Purity Sect and Xie Mingze have to say.”
However, when they sent someone to ask, the news that came shocked everyone.
This mountain peak was Gu Xi’s!
After Shen Tianyi gave the mountain peak to Gu Xi, he did not manage it anymore. Gu Xi had full authority to manage it. The other disciples did not know what the internal situation of the mountain peak was like.
This was because they rarely passed by this place. Even if they accidentally entered, they would be blocked by the illusory formation and eventually sent out by Gu Xi.
The Sect Masters were speechless. Other than refining weapons and medicine, only now did they know that Gu Xi was also quite good at formations, to the point that even they could not do anything about it.
What was there that he could not do!?
“Then what should we do now?”
“There must be something inside this mountain peak. Otherwise, why would Gu Xi set up such a powerful array formation?”
However, the more it was like this, the more determined everyone was to obtain it. Perhaps it was some supreme-grade Magical Treasure or medicinal pills. It was even more likely that it was the evidence of Gu Xi colluding with the Demon Region.
No matter what, cracking the array formation was imperative.
The people from the Ethereal Illusion Mansion made a solemn vow, “Previously, it was us who were unprepared. Who knows, we might be able to break it if we try again. I don’t believe that with our strength, we won’t be able to solve this array formation.”
It was obvious that the other Sect Masters had similar thoughts as him. In the end, they were ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality.
At the beginning, they were forced out after only taking one step forward. However, when they entered the second time, even if they were prepared, they only took two steps forward. When they finally reached the fifth step, everyone was overjoyed and thought that this was a good start.
In the end, they were still too naive.
This array could change! It made them flustered and almost hurt the people around them.
The few Sect Masters who were originally high and mighty were actually thrown out in an extremely miserable manner. Fortunately, there was no one around them. Otherwise, if they were seen, they would lose all face.
They were covered in dirt and dust. Their expressions were ashamed and angry. They blamed all of this on the culprit, Gu Xi.
However, this array could not be destroyed by violence. They had tried it before, and when the Saints attacked together, the power was not to be underestimated.
Soon after, they realized that something was wrong. A violent destructive power filled the surroundings, scaring them so much that they stopped.
They realized that if they used violence directly, the array would activate and self-destruct. Even the mountain and the array would be destroyed. They were in the middle of the array, and they would be affected.
“This Gu Xi is truly cunning to the extreme, truly despicable!”
“We can’t break this array, and it’s impossible to directly dismantle it. What should we do now?”
The person from the Ethereal Illusion Mansion thought for a moment and said, “Isn’t there still a competition at the Capital Dao Conference? Why not change it at the last minute?”
The others quickly understood what he meant. “You’re saying we should change it to breaking this array?”
This was not a bad idea.
They could not deal with it, but they might be able to gather all the power in the world. There would always be an outstanding array formation master who could break the array formation that Gu Xi had left behind.
…
At this moment, in the eastern continent, tens of thousands of miles away from the Supreme Purity Sect.
Gu Xi noticed the wetness on his face and subconsciously opened his eyes. Little Nine had unknowingly run out of the Spirit Beast Space and was continuously licking his face.
Seeing that Gu Xi had finally woken up, it squeaked non-stop.
“How long have I been unconscious for…”
Gu Xi felt as if he had slept for a century. He forced himself to sit up and immediately had a splitting headache.
All he could see were tall trees that reached into the clouds. The huge leaves blocked out all the sunlight. Occasionally, there would be a few rays of light left between the gaps, and he could barely see his surroundings.
Gu Xi moved slightly. It was as if his body had been crushed. He felt pain everywhere. He raised his arm and drew in a breath of cold air. It was extremely painful.
Just the simple act of getting up had taken Gu Xi more than half the time. His face was pale and his head was covered in sweat. He could not help but suspect that all the veins and tendons in his body had suffered serious damage. It was obvious how serious it was.
Even if the hands were only one-third of the Demon Venerable’s strength, it was enough to make Gu Xi suffer, not to mention that he had fallen into the spatial turbulence.
To put it bluntly, it was a miracle that Gu Xi was still alive.
If this news spread out, no one would believe that there was really someone who could escape from the Demon Venerable’s hands and survive the spatial turbulence.
However, no matter how Gu Xi tried to condense the spiritual power in his body, there was no reaction. He frowned and said, “This is bad.”
