The air twisted unnaturally, tearing a hole, and black mist spewed out like spring water.
Another path to the underworld is open.
The corridor of the mausoleum, which had long since collapsed, had been submerged in the water, and was wrapped in endless cold darkness.
But as the black mist surged, the surrounding water elements quickly retreated as if frightened, forming a vacuum area.
In the black fog, a black shadow full of lifeless energy took a step forward, stood in the center of the vacuum area, and waved with one hand.
In an instant, all the scattered huge stone buildings were carried away by a mysterious force.
Under the boulder was a body riddled with holes and turned white by water.
"One corpse and two souls? It's interesting..."
The shadow looked at the corpse on the ground with interest, grabbed it with his bare hands, and dragged it into the black mist.
The air of death was like extremely hungry insects and ants, swarming up and surrounding the corpse, burrowing into it along the seven orifices.
The two remnant souls let out screams like howling ghosts.
"It failed... I didn't find anything, and one of the guy's clones is still missing, but it's still a bit of a gain."
After all, it was a step too late. The black shadow shook his head, and his body submerged into the black mist of death again, dragging the body of "one corpse with two souls" back to the road to the underworld and disappeared.
The originally expanded area lost its support and was once again flooded.
…
It is still the Qiong Ling Sect with an air of immortality, and tens of thousands of disciples are busy with their own affairs at hand.
Gu Zuotong and Li Tianxing had already returned to the sect from the Forest of Mist.
As soon as he stepped into the gate of the sect, after both parties said goodbye, Gu Zuo walked towards Yinzhu Peak.
In the bamboo forest, Bai Zhexin was sitting by the stream, holding her fragrant cheeks in her hands and not knowing what to think, while her bare feet were swinging back and forth in the stream.
Her complexion is much better. After the Ye family's forced marriage incident, she worked hard to adjust her mood and slowly came out of her depressed state. She is still a lively and lovely elf of Qiong Lingzong.
Because she knew that there was nothing she could do at the moment. The only thing she could do was not to let her senior brother worry too much about her.
So she won't frown every day.
Emotions are contagious. She hoped that by looking happy, she could also make her senior brother feel better.
"The fish will all be smoked to death!"
Gu Zuo joked and walked slowly to Bai Zhexin. As soon as the other party heard the voice, he stood up in a hurry and put on his shoes.
"Senior brother, you're back!"
Bai Zhexin smiled and stepped forward to give Gu Zuo a hug.
These days, she is also quite worried about whether her senior brother will be stimulated by the forced marriage incident of the Ye family and embark on an extreme path in pursuit of becoming stronger quickly.
However, from the current point of view, there is nothing unusual about his senior brother, and he is not injured, which means that what he was worried about has not happened.
For Bai Zhexin, no matter whether his senior brother's trip to the Mist Forest yielded any results or not, as long as the person is still well, that is the biggest gain.
"You're back. What happened in the sect recently?"
Gu Zuo reached out and touched his junior sister's head. Zhexin had always been very careful about the sect's news.
Bai Zhexin became a little angry when she mentioned the recent events in the sect.
Because in the sect, rumors about my senior brother are flying all over the sky, and they can’t be stopped!
"Senior brother just left not long ago, and there were a lot of rumors about him in the sect."
When Bai Zhexin thought about the content of those rumors, she felt a little angry on behalf of her senior brother. Her cheeks puffed up slightly with anger, and her watery eyes were full of displeasure.
rumor?
Gu Zuo's heart tightened and he panicked.
"Could it be that Rong Ziyan exposed the matter of condensing the Heavenly Dao Star Chart and causing strange phenomena in the world?"
If so, I'm afraid there will be big trouble!
Although Rong Ziyan said at the beginning that she would keep it a secret.
But because the strange phenomena of heaven and earth gathered at Zixiao Peak, the disciples of Qiongling Sect blamed Nalan Yueting for this matter.
As a master, she might have sold herself alive just to refute the rumors for her apprentice!
"What rumors? Tell me quickly and let senior brother hear it."
Gu Zuo was in a hurry and asked irritably what the rumor was about.
Bai Zhexin put his hands on his hips and began to tell the rumors about Gu Zuo:
"The rumors generally fall into two directions. First, they say that in order to win the favor of Senior Sister Yueting, senior brother blindly stepped forward and used forbidden techniques indiscriminately. In the end, he became a useless person. He is an out-and-out fool."
"I also wanted to use this to morally kidnap Senior Sister Yueting, but I couldn't bear the temptation and was sent away by Senior Sister Yueting with two pills."
Bai Zhexin became angrier as he talked and stamped his feet.
These messy rumors have been fermented and spread within the sect, causing the image of his senior brother to be tarnished.
Hearing this, Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought it was such a big deal! That’s it, that’s it?
He always doesn't care about reputation or anything like that.
I thought Rong Ziyan had revealed the matter about the vision of heaven and earth!
"Let them tell you what they say. Your senior brother has never been competitive. He regards fame and wealth as rubbish. This is how noble and elegant Chrysanthemum is."
Gu Zuo was as thick-skinned as a city wall and regarded himself as an elegant official.
"You don't know how ugly that disciple named Zhou Hang looked when he took the lead in slandering our senior brother."
Bai Zhexin gritted his silver teeth, and when he thought of Zhou Hang's beaming expression, belittling his senior brother's morality and kidnapping Senior Sister Yue Ting, he felt an uncontrollable anger.
"Zhou Hang?"
Gu Zuo seemed to smell something wrong.
He and Zhou Hang have no relationship at all, and it is impossible for the other party to tarnish his reputation for no reason. Is it just out of jealousy?
"If I remember correctly, the leader of the group of disciples who support Senior Brother Yu is Zhou Hang, right?"
"Yes, it's that bastard."
Bai Zhexin bared his teeth, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"This is strange. Logically speaking, I have no enmity with him, so why would he speak harshly to me? Is it because of Senior Brother Yu?"
Gu Zuo thought for a moment.
I think it is unlikely. At least Senior Brother Yu will not actively encourage Zhou Hang and others to slander him.
Because this approach is stupid.
Senior Brother Yu Qilin, the holy son of the Qiong Ling Sect, is recognized as the best senior brother in the sect. Not to mention his handsome appearance, he is endowed with extraordinary talents, has Qilin bloodline, and is affable.
However, it is worth mentioning that Yu Qilin has never concealed his love for Nalan Yueting. Since joining the sect, he has launched a fierce pursuit of Nalan Yueting, but his feelings have not been responded to by the other party.
.
"Did Zhou Hang take it upon himself to insult my reputation, or was it promoted secretly by Senior Brother Yu Qilin?"
If it is promoted by Senior Brother Yu Qilin, it will obviously harm others and not benefit oneself.
His reputation has already been ruined, so it doesn't matter if he is thrown into disrepute again. But he, Yu Qilin, has such a good reputation, wouldn't it be a loss to be labeled as a 'love rival' who secretly encourages his followers to slander him because of such a trivial matter?
Dafa?
This is equivalent to using ice cream to smash a piece of shit. In the final analysis, it is the ice cream that suffers.
However, Gu Zuo was too lazy to take care of this kind of thing.
The relationship between Yu Qilin and Nalan Yueting can be said to be incompatible with him. Even if he pays more attention to Nalan Yueting during the subsequent trip to the ruins, it is only for the sake of Rong Ziyan's face.
Regarding rumor one, Gu Zuo ignored it.
"What about rumor two?" Gu Zuo continued to ask.
"The second rumor is that it is kind to senior brother. Because of senior brother's heroic and fearless actions, his status has increased in the hearts of some female disciples and maids of Qiongling Sect. They talk about senior brother behind his back, saying that although senior brother is a bit stupid, he is so kind
For the sake of love, the behavior of being willing to give up your future and destroy your foundation is called infatuation!"
When Bai Zhexin recounted the second rumor, she felt a sour feeling.
Because in the rumors, his senior brother was willing to risk his life for Nalan Yueting, but in fact, it was not like that.
"In the budding period of youth, the yearning for beautiful things has led to beautification of oneself into an infatuated person who will do anything for love?"
Gu Zuo cursed in his heart, "What the hell are these things?"
"Forget it, forget it, too lazy to care, too lazy to care!"
