The sky was clear and clear, with not even a single cloud in sight. Gu Qinglan couldn't find any trace of anyone until her clone completely turned into ashes.
At the last moment, she seemed to finally understand something, and the worry in her eyes disappeared.
The old man Shu was really rushing his ducks to the shelves at this moment. He swallowed the entire talisman array in one gulp and almost choked himself to death.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to Ren Xijian and others who were rushing towards them after realizing something was wrong. He just waved his hands to everyone and hurried back to the library.
If he fails to refine the talisman array before it is restored, he is afraid that he will be directly exploded.
Ren Xijian frowned slightly with his white eyebrows and immediately pressed his body down, followed closely by Yu Xiuguang with an anxious look on his face.
"Senior, what's wrong? What happened just now? Why did Miss Gu suddenly disappear?"
Sha Qixi's eyes were already red, and he couldn't wait to scream before he even had time to catch his breath.
"Master, where is Brother Xu? He, he..."
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that Xu Luo seemed to have disappeared into the capital city out of thin air. No matter how many people searched with their spiritual senses, they could not find any trace of him.
Gu Siyan's face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his old eyes were almost full of despair. He subconsciously looked at Ren Xijian, who was the most advanced among the people.
Ren Xijian raised his palm to signal for peace and quiet, his eyes flashed and he looked around carefully.
After just a moment, he subconsciously showed a relaxed expression and pointed towards the school grounds below.
Others looked in the direction he pointed and saw a headless corpse in a strange posture, embedded in the stone wall of the Star Building.
The masters of the sect who were lucky enough to be alive in the school field below were all looking lost and in disbelief, staring blankly in the direction of the corpse with disbelief in their eyes.
"hiss……"
Several people took a deep breath.
The corpse was holding a tattered black umbrella, bent from the waist like a stack of paper, and then violently pushed into the stone wall.
The skin and flesh at the broken neck of the corpse were uneven, and blood was still spurting out, as if someone had just ripped off the head.
"Is this Xia Wuyou?"
Gu Siyan, who was still worried, blurted out subconsciously, and immediately thought about where the joy on Ren Xijian's face came from?
Who else but bastard Xu Luona could have such ability?
This also proves that he has survived the terrifying thunderstorm just now, and even has the energy to kill the biggest threat for a few people, so what is he still worried about?
Yu Xiuguang, Zhan Yan and others couldn't care less about being reserved at this moment, and their spiritual consciousness rushed to land on the headless corpse.
After a while, several people looked at each other, with relaxed smiles and a hint of emotion in their eyes.
No one could have imagined that the head of the Zongren Mansion, who had been a powerful figure in the Yan Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and the culprit who caused the Gu family to be wiped out overnight, would die here quietly like this.
Still in this extremely frustrating way, this is really an unpredictable world!
Yu Xiuguang held down Sha Qixi, who was still looking around, but his eyes were looking directly at the clear blue sky in the distance.
"Silly boy, stop looking. Your brother Xu didn't see us on purpose. He has done everything he should do. I'm afraid... what he will do next..."
At this point, his words were a little unclear, and he immediately expressed emotion as if to cover up.
"With his temperament, at this time, I'm afraid it's better to miss him than to meet him!"
Sha Qixi's body trembled, and the tears he had been holding back finally fell from his eyes.
But immediately he thought of something else, hurriedly wiped away his tears, and murmured subconsciously.
"Brother, I have memorized all the seven breaths you said. I will definitely work hard to practice. Sooner or later, I will go to you..."
The quiet and peaceful scene of White Tiger Plain was still transformed into the water eye space, but there was a tall figure covered in black flames standing in the sky above the Gu Mansion.
Circles of ghastly energy were centered on the human figure, spreading rapidly in all directions.
Suddenly, the figure seemed to notice something, and the white-haired Wu Feng automatically looked upward.
The next moment, a giant claw that covered the sky suddenly descended from the sky and pressed the white-haired figure into the soil with a slap.
A loud rumbling sound suddenly exploded from under the giant claw, and the solid ground cracked open like a spider web with a width of countless feet, and even the illusion of the White Tiger Plain in the distance began to flicker uncertainly.
"Tsk tsk, great-grandfather, you really know how to choose the right time, or is this just a meeting gift for the kid?"
Xu Luo's joking voice sounded, and the giant claw disappeared out of thin air, revealing his body surrounded by countless green lights.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, wisps of lightning would splash out from the corner of his mouth. Xu Luo pressed his sharp claws firmly on his mouth, fearing that the thunder would cause another evil moth.
It had been three full days since Shanjing left, but until now he still couldn't think of any good way to completely refine the thunder calamity that Wushengzhu had swallowed up in one go.
You can't blame anyone else for this. If you want to blame it, you can only blame one person and one person for being too greedy.
Xu Luo didn't expect that he would encounter Gu Changsheng in a strange state as soon as he entered the water hole, so he simply subdued him first.
At this moment, as soon as the giant claw disappeared, the black flames on countless human faces gathered in the middle.
But at this moment, Xu Luo's combat prowess was completely different from when we first met him last time.
He didn't even bother to pull out the Impermanence Knife, he just waved his hand forward lightly, and the "E"-shaped lamp appeared out of thin air above the blossoming black flames, and the scarlet candle flames fell on the black flames on the human face one by one as if they had eyes.
Chirping sounds were heard one after another, and the black and red flames melted together once they touched.
At this moment, a black flame with a human face suddenly appeared in front of Xu Luo's eyes, and he stepped aside without even having time to think.
But as soon as the ripples of space filled the air, Xu Luo seemed to have thought of something, and a sly expression appeared on his face, and he retracted the magical power of "Shrinking the Ground to an Inch".
The black flames exploded, transforming into the tall figure of Gu Changsheng, with his skinny fingers piercing Xu Luo's eyes like sharp blades.
Xu Luo's figure twisted in a weird way and shrunk to almost a foot in length, and instead of retreating, he moved forward and kneaded into his arms.
Then there was a muffled bang like exploding beans, and two figures, an old man and a young man, were like ghosts, flashing around in a radius of about ten feet.
From time to time, black flames would explode out of thin air, but soon fine runes would fall down, immobilizing the black flames.
Xu Luo had no intention of merging with the true form of the ferocious ape, so he faced Gu Changsheng head-on.
It's just that his whole body has no fixed shape. Sometimes he is circling like a spiritual python, sometimes his height is uncertain. His hands, elbows, knees, and even his head have all turned into indestructible weapons at this moment.
Whenever he was hit by him, Gu Changsheng could only turn into black flames in embarrassment in order to release the huge power contained in it.
But even though he tried every means to hit Xu Luo, and even the black flames fell on his body, Xu Luo didn't even bother to frown.
Xu Luo felt more and more happy with the beating, but Gu Changsheng became more and more miserable.
No matter how powerful he was back then, how could he be as powerful as a young man after being imprisoned in the Water Eye for nearly a hundred years and losing his soul clone?
In less than half a stick of incense, Gu Changsheng's body, which had just been gathered by the black flames, suddenly froze, and a twisted and struggling look appeared on his old face.
Xu Luo felt something bad in his heart. The old man was probably about to wake up. If he saw that he was so negligent, he would have to reprimand him.
Thinking of this, Xu Luo finally stopped holding back, stepped into the void, and appeared in front of Gu Changsheng in an instant.
Before he could react, his palm glowed with five-colored light and he gently touched his forehead.
Gu Changsheng's face showed a look of struggle, and his body had obviously turned into black flames again, but in an instant it was fused together by some powerful force, and then fell heavily to the ground like a piece of wood.
Xu Luo breathed a long sigh of relief, glanced guiltily in the direction of Gu Zhai behind him, and then quickly picked up Gu Changsheng...
Time passed quietly like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost a year since Xu Luo entered the water eye.
On this day, countless gray mist surged above the space. Xu Luo and Gu Changsheng sat cross-legged on the top of the red stone mountain, looking at this familiar scene, with expressions of emotion in their eyes.
"Have you really completely refined and fused that terrifying thunder tribulation?"
When Xu Luo first came in, he told everything that happened outside. Even now, the old man still can't believe it.
Xu Luo didn't answer but just smiled and changed the topic directly.
"According to your old speculation, if you want to go to the outer realm, you have to go back through the core of the water eye before you can succeed. Then this water eye has existed for I don't know how many years. Has no one ever entered it?"
Gu Changsheng shook his head.
"In fact, with the speed of your cultivation, why do you have to take such a risk?"
After spending such a long time together, Gu Changsheng must have already known what Xu Luo wanted to do.
Even though he had advised her countless times, when the dangerous moment came, he still couldn't help but speak out again.
Xu Luo still had a faint smile on his face, as if the menacing eyes that stopped even Gu Changsheng from moving forward were the front door of his neighbor's house next door.
"My lord, don't try to persuade me any more. The overall situation in the Jueling Realm outside has definitely been decided now. The Reformed faction is in charge of the power of Dayan. I think my relatives and friends who are still in Sanhe Fort are not in great danger.
To be honest, what would happen even if the boy stayed in the Absolute Spirit Realm?
Seniors should have experienced this feeling back then!"
Gu Changsheng raised his eyebrows and his expression became cautious, but he was a little speechless.
If you say that he hid in the water back then without this reason, you are just deceiving yourself and others.
He looked at Xu Luo, who had a dull face but firm eyes. His lips wriggled a few times and finally stopped trying to persuade him.
Although there is a hundred years difference in age between the two of them, they are both outstanding figures in the Jueling Realm. Their methods are not mentioned in advance, but the unwillingness and arrogance that come from their bones are exactly the same. Some words do not need to be said at all.
"Hey! It's great that you have such a spirit. Great-grandfather only hopes that you will not make the same mistake as me again. I hope this trip will go well!"
Xu Luo smiled freely and looked up at the mist that had gradually formed a cyclone in the sky.
"Don't worry, this kid's life is very tough. I'm afraid God in Jueling Realm won't be able to take him away. Besides, I haven't brought Xixi to see you, so how can I be willing to die?"
Even though Gu Changsheng was full of worries, he couldn't help but be amused by his words.
"Then let's make an agreement like this. My great-great-grandfather will try his best to keep this broken body and wait for that day to come.
It’s just that it’s not enough for you and me, it’s best to have a few more so that I can have a taste of the fun of having grandchildren.”
Xu Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"How can such a good thing need special instructions from you..."
At this point, he suddenly took out a jade box from his arms and handed it over.
"By the way, in this jade box is the spiritual creature, the filarial worm, and there is another one that I have hidden in a hidden place in the outside sea, so I will keep it for you as a plaything."
Gu Changshang sighed, and the child still thought that if one day he could fully recover, he would be able to follow the threadworm out of the water hole.
Knowing that this hope was slim, but after all, Xu Luo was filial, so he thought about it and took it.
At this time, the huge cyclone above finally took shape, and the air machine began to roar like a violent wind.
Xu Luo didn't know what he was talking about, and his voice became a little unclear.
Gu Changsheng's old eyes were slightly moist, but he forced himself to smile and wave.
"Go, go! Everything the old man knows has been told to you.
What I failed to do back then should be done by the younger generation like you, and let those outsiders who think they are superior to others see the unruly and proud nature of our Dayan man!"
Xu Luo looked at him deeply again and nodded without saying anything.
His body instantly soared like lightning and fell straight into the huge cyclone above, leaving only the last lingering sound in the air.
"You must take more care of yourself!"
At this moment, Gu Changsheng no longer had any of the high spirits of the past. He just stared blankly at the rapidly rotating cyclone above, motionless.
After a long, long time, he opened his lips and managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Come back alive!"
Endless water mist filled Xu Luo's vision, and his sharp spiritual sense in the past was of no use at all.
Once the water mist moves, it is like an invisible blade, extremely sharp.
Xu Luo had already suffered a big loss from this, and now he simply relied on the Netherworld Technique to find his way forward.
He said he was moving forward in his own opinion. In fact, there was no sense of direction in the eyes of the water.
Fortunately, Xu Luo still had a clear mind. Ever since he was born with the desire to go to the outside world, a line of light leading to the void of unknown destination emerged from the clear character.
But compared with other lights, this color is as dark as ink, making it unclear.
But Xu Luo didn't care much at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and run forward along the light.
On the contrary, the painful process of being cut into pieces by the water mist that he originally imagined gave Xu Luo a big surprise.
The physical body, which has not grown at all since the "Devil Ape Chaos Body" was promoted to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, has made rapid progress in this process of being torn apart by water mist and rapidly healing.
Only the bone-piercing pain that spread throughout his body made Xu Luo scream in pain from time to time.
But to Xu Luo, who had already regarded pain as a daily routine in his practice, what did this mean?
The mist became denser as we walked forward, and finally the dense mist condensed into something like ice mist, crowding around Xu Luo.
Seeing this strange scene, Xu Luo's eyes showed a hint of joy.
This at least shows that the direction he has chosen is correct and he is approaching the core of the water eye step by step. According to Gu Changsheng's speculation, if he wants to reach the outer realm, he must pass through the core of the water eye.
