Outside, Sacrifice Square.
As a melodious bell rang, all the senior officials, including the watching disciples below who were meditating and practicing, opened their eyes.
Above the sacrificial platform in the center of the square, a group of disciples gathered at the foot of the mountain were displayed on the projection screen.
Soon, the disciples at the front of the crowd, led by Jiang Lintian and others, began to walk up a straight upward stone path.
The highlight of the Demon-Conquering Trial, the race to the top has officially begun.
The leader of Wuyu Peak gently shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "In eight days, plus the last day left, there are nine days in total. It seems that the difficulty of climbing the peak this time is not small."
The length of the cycle of the Demon-Suppressing Peak Formation on the Demon Prison Island varies, but the longest is one cycle of ten days.
The closer to ten days, the stronger the ability of the formation to absorb the remaining formations on the Demon Suppressing Peak will be, and the difficulty of climbing the peak will naturally become greater.
Wu Daozi's old eyes were slightly closed and he kept smiling kindly.
The master of Wuxin Peak couldn't find He Gu's figure on the projection light screen. She was a little confused: "Hey, why didn't the little guy from Wugou Peak see him coming? Could it be that something delayed him?"
"That's right. With that disciple's level of strength, he shouldn't be absent." Master Wuyu Peak replied calmly.
Peak Master Wuxin shook his head slightly, feeling a little sorry for Wujin Peak.
As He Gu, who had just advanced to the Five Realms, was not outstanding among the disciples who participated in the summit trial. With the current delay, she felt that there was little hope of catching up now.
This is the first time in the past few years that Wugou Peak has a disciple participating in the Demon Subduing Trial. She has a good relationship with Leng Qingzhu, so naturally she does not want to see Wugou Peak perform too badly.
The other peak masters did not take the incident at Wugou Peak to heart. At the moment, they only paid attention to the performance of the participating disciples in their own peaks, and compared them with the other five peaks from time to time.
However, the onlookers in the square noticed He Gu's situation and started talking in low voices.
Most of them said that He Gu was late on purpose to avoid being embarrassed by not winning the top eight seats in the end, and then he would have a reason to shirk responsibility.
An old disciple said categorically: "We've been inseparable for a long time. That kid is usually so timid, hiding in Wugou Peak and never coming out. He must be scared now."
Hehe... maybe I'm hiding in a hole in a corner of the island now."
Some new disciples gloated and chimed in: "Will Fairy Wugou directly kick him out of Wugou Peak when he gets angry?
If that's the case, wouldn't we have the opportunity to take the vacant position and stay with Fairy Wushou forever?"
As soon as he said these words, a dangerous aura that was cold to the bone suddenly enveloped the new disciple inexplicably, making him terrified.
If his friends hadn't kicked him and scolded him for not looking in the mirror, he wouldn't have been able to move a finger.
He fell to the ground in embarrassment, and the dangerous aura that appeared out of thin air on his body suddenly disappeared.
It went as quickly as it came, just like a dream.
Regardless of what his friends said about him being a soft-footed shrimp, he stood up with difficulty, and then secretly glanced at the ruthless peak master on the high platform.
Seeing that he didn't look over, he breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
Although he had only entered the academy not long ago, he had already heard that the Master of Qingqing Peak had always admired Fairy Wugou and would not allow others to influence her.
…
He Guben was looking forward to what the old devil would give him as a last little gift. Who would have thought that after his vision became clear, he would see a familiar and annoying face.
This little gift was indeed a surprise for him.
However, after seeing the other party's next move, his surprise immediately outweighed his joy.
In the cave, Cai Lan was sitting on a rock, sorting out the loot in the storage bag that had just been taken back from the devil. He looked at the uninvited guest who was suddenly teleported in front of him, and his expression was momentarily stunned.
I didn't react until the next moment, and I was slightly shocked.
The last time he met He Gu in the valley, he was completely focused on the elixir in the medicine garden and had no time to think about the hasty exchange between the two.
Only later did I realize that since He Gu could easily withstand his sword attack from behind, his cultivation level should not be too far from his.
In other words, He Gu in front of him is very likely to be in the five realms.
Of course, he believed that at most it would be at the early stage of the Five Realms, and the advantage would still be on his side.
Although I don't know how the other party found his location accurately, I know why he came here, and he must be here to take revenge on him.
If you dare to show up so blatantly, you must have something to rely on.
He reacted quickly, waving his hand to put the elixir in front of him back into his storage bag, and while standing up, he sent out a red firework signal towards the entrance of the cave.
The three senior brothers who were ordered by Jiang Lintian to follow him were in a nearby cave, and he believed that the three senior brothers would arrive soon.
When the time comes, he will never let He Gu have another chance to run away. The hatred between his brothers must be settled today.
After doing this, he blocked the way out of the cave and looked at He Gu with a sneer.
"I didn't expect you to come to my door yourself. I've been having a hard time looking for you these past few days. Fortunately, the results are good."
He Gu had long wanted to kill Cai Lan, and now he was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.
However, he originally planned to take some time to deal with Cai Lan using normal means, but when he saw the other party sending signals to scare him away, he immediately did not dare to make a big deal about it.
Who knows if all the disciples from the Six Peaks will be recruited.
After all, he had previously robbed all the elixirs in the valley in front of the boss, and Cai Lan even called his name in public.
The past few days of disappearing had virtually confirmed his guilt, although he did not think he was at fault.
Right now, he was trapped in a cave like a turtle in an urn. He had to make a quick decision and get out of this place as soon as possible.
Considering that the environment of Demon Prison Island is relatively hidden and demons can be seen everywhere, I made a decisive decision in my mind.
The aura of the Five Realms burst out, and He Gu took the lead.
He wielded an earth-shaking flaming fist that contained the power of the Void Fire Taoist Charm and attacked Cai Lan, hitting his facade.
The power of Tao Yun possessed by Cai Lan has the effect of accelerating healing, and is of little use in fierce battles.
But at this moment, it just offset the chronic burning effect caused by the virtual fire Dao Yun. However, due to the influence of the fire poison entering his body, he felt a little irritable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Feeling the aura of realm erupting from He Gu's body, Cai Lan was determined.
Drawing the knife and slashing forward with fierce Taoist skills, it had the momentum to split He Gu's fist in half.
He Gu snorted coldly, and at the same time a thought came into his mind.
The first of Canglong’s three transformations!
As 20% of the spiritual energy in his body was instantly drained away, an extremely rapid sense of strengthening acted on his entire body. The surface of his skin quickly condensed and was covered with a layer of blood-red spiritual energy scales, and his muscles, bones, flesh and bones suddenly became hard.
He couldn't help but let out a deep dragon roar.
Cai Lan was shocked when she saw He Gu, who was approaching but suddenly changed his appearance.
He could feel that He Gu's body's defense suddenly increased to a large level, and now far exceeded him.
His sword may not be able to break through the scale defense on He Gu's body!
He gritted his teeth and did not choose to avoid it. He planned to stop He Gu at the cost of getting hurt, so as to buy some time for the three senior brothers to arrive.
As for the losses suffered, if He Gu is captured then, he will naturally be able to get back double the losses.
There was also this unknown method of strengthening Taoism, which really made him very enthusiastic.
Sooner or later, the moment his knife edge touched He Gu's fist, a sense of extreme crisis suddenly rose up in his back.
He also has helpers!
An idea just came to mind, but it was too late.
Without giving him a moment to react, the next moment his chest suddenly felt empty at his heart.
The sword in his hand was knocked away by He Gu's punch at the same time. Cai Lan couldn't hold on and fell down, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Before his eyes wandered, he glanced behind him with difficulty, but the result was once again beyond his expectation.
It was empty there, no one was around.
Until his death, he still had no idea who the person who attacked him from behind was.
He Gukankan stopped his fist and prevented it from hitting Cai Lan's body, and immediately removed the secret skill of Canglong's third transformation.
He was not at all excited about killing Cai Lan.
Now with his strength, if he let go completely, he would have no fear even against Jiang Lintian.
Taking away the storage bag from Cai Lan's waist, he quickly left the cave and flew towards the stone forest on one side.
Just when his figure was about to disappear into the rocks, three figures rushed to the entrance of the cave.
One of them noticed the situation on the horizon and said in surprise: "Why..."
When they came out of the cave again, their faces turned ashen.
…
With the lessons learned from the last time, He Gu found a place to transfer all the contents of Cai Lan's storage bag into his own storage bag.
As for Cai Lan's storage bag, he wasn't greedy this time and dug a hole on the spot and buried it in it.
"Oops, time is running out, I have to hurry up."
Realizing that the time was wrong, he took off his black robe and bamboo hat without taking a break, put them in his storage bag, summoned the flying sword and stepped on it.
He drove the flying sword with all his strength and flew non-stop towards the mountain peak in the center of the island.
Not long after, he arrived at the foot of Zhenmo Peak.
He Gu's late arrival immediately aroused boos from the disciples present.
Like the onlookers from outside the circle, they all believed that He Gu was deliberately making himself late in order to shirk away the responsibilities he shouldered.
In fact, it is not uncommon for disciples to be late in previous summit competitions, but most of them would choose to give up.
After all, being behind other contestants for a certain period of time will put you at a huge disadvantage from the starting point, and it is basically impossible to catch up later.
Seeing that He Gu ignored them and hurried straight to the stone path, they became even more convinced of their judgment.
"Isn't it embarrassing for him? If it were me, I would come early, or I wouldn't come at all."
"You don't understand. This is called retreating in order to advance. As long as you show your hard work, no matter what the result is in the end, you will have a reason to comfort yourself."
"It's hard for him. He is the only one from the Wugou Peak lineage to participate, which is really eye-catching... By the way, when did he reach the Five Realms?"
"Perhaps Fairy Wugou used special means to help him improve, and wanted him to fight on behalf of Wugou Peak."
"Wouldn't that disappoint Fairy Wu Guo greatly?"
…
When He Gu reached the stone path, he concentrated on climbing the peak and turned a deaf ear to the gossip behind him.
When he stepped onto the first step, he immediately felt an irresistible force of absorption acting on him.
There are faint signs that the spiritual power and qi and blood in the body have been stripped out of the body.
He quickly ran the exercises on the spot to stabilize the spiritual power in his body, and then used the spiritual power to lock the qi and blood to prevent them from escaping.
As he stepped onto another step, the suction force acting on him immediately increased significantly.
He could only stop temporarily and first deal with the chaos caused by this in his body.
Every time He Gu takes a step from now on, the absorption power from the Demon Suppressing Peak will become stronger.
He had to stop every step.
Compared with the disciple in front of him who was far behind him, his movements seemed extremely clumsy and unfamiliar, and his speed was like that of a turtle.
This soon triggered bursts of boos from the foot of the mountain and from the disciples watching the game from outside.
In the square outside, Master Wu Wu looked at He Gu in the projection screen and shook his head again.
She could see that He Gulian didn't even know the secret to climbing the Demon Suppressing Peak, and he still spent time trying to figure it out on the spot.
I feel relieved when I think that Leng Mei is in retreat.
On one side of the high platform, among the crowd of deacons, Liu Yuhuang's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
Looking at the concerned figure he hadn't seen for a long time in the light curtain, he pursed his plump red lips.
