Chapter 427: A Familiar Barren Mountain

"You..."

This was the first time that Ji Hui had been scolded in his old age.

"Grandmaster, let's get rid of him!"

At this time, several other young disciples stepped forward and wanted to kill Gu Sheng.

"Come on, fight alone if you can!"

Gu Sheng looked disdainful.

"Fight alone? Wishful thinking, we will beat you up in a group!"

A young disciple stepped forward and said.

Then, he said to the other companions behind him: "Set up the formation!"

In an instant, more than a dozen young disciples of the Ji family moved quickly.

Their figures intertwined in the void, forming a complex formation.

This formation was cold and murderous, as if it could swallow everything.

Gu Sheng's consciousness sensed that he could not break through this formation at all.

This gloomy feeling also made him feel more solemn.

Gu Sheng knew that the strength of these young disciples should not be underestimated, and the formation they formed together was enough to threaten his life.

But even so, Gu Sheng did not choose to retreat.

He suddenly mobilized his divine power, forming hundreds of hidden sound balls beside him.

These sound-hiding balls flashed with crystal light and looked infinitely beautiful.

Then, Gu Sheng input the mental skills of the Great Void Art into these sound-hiding balls.

His spiritual consciousness flowed through the sound-hiding balls, integrating the essence of the Great Void Art into them.

After that, he absorbed these sound-hiding balls into his body.

At this time, his body seemed to have turned into a huge container, sealing these sound-hiding balls firmly in it.

"Kill me if you have the ability!"

Gu Sheng showed a generous attitude of going to death, "When you kill me, these hundreds of sound-hiding balls will leave my body, and then there will be countless people practicing the Great Void Art."

There was a hint of provocation in Gu Sheng's eyes, and he was obviously not afraid of the threats of the Ji family.

"What..."

Ji Hui's face changed, she didn't expect Gu Sheng to take such a measure.

If the formation really killed Gu Sheng, the mental skills of the Great Void Art would certainly be spread out.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face for the Ji family.

"Stop!"

Ji Hui called out to the young disciples anxiously.

For a moment, the young disciples of the Ji family were caught in a dilemma.

Their eyes were full of confusion, and they obviously didn't know what to do.

Similarly, Ji Hui was full of contradictions.

If they continued to attack Gu Sheng, it might cause a greater disaster.

But if they let Gu Sheng go, the Ji family's face would be lost.

"Gu Sheng, are you threatening us?"

Ji Hui tried to control her anger and asked coldly.

"No, I'm just telling you a fact."

Gu Sheng's voice seemed very calm.

"What?"

Ji Hui asked.

"The fact is that you'd better not mess with me, otherwise I'll let you know my methods!"

Gu Sheng said, holding his right fist tightly in front of Ji Hui.

At this time, Gu Sheng's eyes were firm, and he was obviously ready to die.

"Hu..."

Ji Hui let out a sigh of relief, as if he had no way to deal with Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, you won."

Ji Hui's voice was bitter, "We, the Ji family, will no longer hunt you down."

After saying this, Ji Hui's eyes showed a sense of relief, as if she had made a decision.

"Hehe..."

Gu Sheng smiled bitterly twice, then asked back: "Really?"

"Really."

Ji Hui nodded, then glanced at the onlookers and said: "They can testify."

The onlookers looked at this scene with surprise in their eyes.

Obviously, they did not expect the battle to end in this way.

"Ji Hui actually admitted defeat?"

"Gu Sheng's strength is indeed unfathomable."

"It seems that this battle has shown us a real strong man."

Everyone discussed in disbelief.

"Then you retreat now!"

Gu Sheng pointed to the direction where Ji Hui and the others came from.

Ji Hui glared at Gu Sheng, then said with some disappointment: "Retreat!"

"Retreat? Where to retreat?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice after hearing the words.

Gu Sheng also looked over there. He didn't know when the powerful demon Peacock King suddenly appeared behind Ji Hui.

"What! Peacock King!"

Ji Hui was shocked.

She didn't expect that Peacock King was also involved, and based on the situation just now, Peacock King was enough to kill her!

Peacock King came to Gu Sheng with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Gu Sheng, you trust old lady Ji Hui too much."

Gu Sheng was stunned, and didn't understand what Peacock King meant.

"Senior, what do you mean?"

Gu Sheng was puzzled.

Then Peacock King turned around, pointed at Ji Hui and continued: "Ji Hui's goal is to retreat temporarily, wait for you to be unprepared, and kill you after being left alone. At that time, even if you have the Hidden Sound Ball, it will be useless."

"This..."

Gu Sheng's face changed.

He suddenly realized that what Peacock King said was right.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and waves of chills could not help but surge into his heart.

"King Kongque, why are you interfering in the affairs of our Ji family?"

Ji Hui asked angrily.

"Haha... old woman, are you angry?"

King Kongque said with a faint smile.

After saying that, the Peacock King looked at Gu Sheng with admiration in his eyes: "Gu Sheng is kind to the demon clan, so I naturally want to protect him."

After speaking, he said to the cultivators who were watching: "Everyone of you here, listen, whoever dares to touch Gu Sheng in the future is an enemy of me, the Peacock King. When I kill you, don't say you don't know! "

When other cultivators heard this, they were shocked again.

They did not expect that the powerful Peacock King of the demon clan would receive favors from Gu Sheng.

What surprised them even more was that messing with Gu Sheng was tantamount to making an enemy of the Peacock King.

As a result, ordinary cultivators had to walk around when they saw Gu Sheng.

If someone glared at Gu Sheng and was misunderstood by Gu Sheng, it would be an unjust death!

Ji Hui felt sick when she heard this.

"Peacock King, are you threatening me?"

Ji Hui said coldly. .

The Peacock King nodded: "Yes, I, the Peacock King, am here to threaten you. What do you do?"

After saying that, Maurya crossed his arms on his chest with a grand aura.

Ji Hui's face looked a little ugly. She didn't expect that the Peacock King would side with Gu Sheng.

I don’t even understand how a little kid like Gu Sheng could be so kind to him, the Peacock King.

But it seems unwise to be an enemy of the Maurya King now.

Not to mention whether he can defeat the Peacock King, just provoking the demon clan is a very stupid decision.

But the Ji family still has some status in the Eastern Wasteland. Being threatened by the Peacock King Rucong really doesn't have much face.

"Peacock King, you are challenging our Ji family!"

Ji Hui said coldly, thinking about trying to gain some face in front of the cultivators in the world.

"Ji Hui, you should know that I am not challenging your Ji family, I am just protecting my friends."

The Mauryan King said calmly.

"Okay, let's see how long you can protect me."

After Ji Hui finished speaking, she waved her hand towards her subordinates and flew into the distance.

Seeing Ji Hui leave, the cultivators who were watching naturally did not dare to continue watching the fun.

If the Maurya King kills them because of a displeasure, it would be too unworthy.

Soon, the cultivators dispersed, leaving only Gu Sheng and the Peacock King standing in the sky.

"Peacock King, thank you."

Gu Sheng said very sincerely.

"hehe……"

Maurya smiled and waved his hand, "No need to thank me, I'm just doing what I should do."

After saying this, the Peacock King looked at Gu Sheng with mixed emotions in his eyes.

Then he paused and continued to ask: "Gu Sheng, what are you going to do?"

"Why……"

Gu Sheng sighed, looking a little helpless.

He knew that he had become the main target of the Ji family, and at the same time, Holy Lord Yaoguang would not let him go.

Even Taixuanmen may want to capture him...

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng's mood became even heavier.

"I feel that I will become the main target of the Ji family."

Gu Sheng said worriedly.

The Mauryan King smiled and said, "In that case, you might as well go to my place."

"Um?"

Gu Sheng was stunned, not expecting that the Mauryan King would make such a suggestion.

"Going to your place?"

Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Um."

The Mauryan King nodded, "Go to my side. I can guarantee your safety."

Gu Sheng was silent and thinking.

He knew that the Peacock King's strength was unfathomable, and if he could get his protection, he could indeed temporarily avoid the Ji family's pursuit.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Gu Sheng said with determination.

At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity that cannot be missed.

"hehe……"

The Mauryan King smiled with satisfaction.

Then, Gu Sheng followed the Peacock King and flew into the distance.

After everyone left, the capital suddenly exploded.

Everyone is spreading rumors that Gu Sheng has some special abilities that make the Peacock King obey him.

What's more, it is rumored that Gu Sheng has become an immortal...

On the other side, Gu Sheng had flown hundreds of miles with the Maurya King.

Soon, the Peacock King took Gu Sheng to a barren mountain.

Gu Sheng stood on the barren mountain and suddenly felt sad.

When he saw this, he thought of the Zhuofeng of Taixuanmen.

If he had not left Taixuan Sect, he might still be practicing with Li Ruoyu.

"What's wrong?"

The Mauryan King noticed that Gu Sheng was a little sad and asked casually.

"I...I think of the old days."

Gu Sheng replied.

"Haha... Is it the clumsy peak of Taixuan Sect?"

The Peacock King smiled and guessed Gu Sheng's thoughts.

"You...how do you know?"

Gu Sheng was a little puzzled.

"It's very simple. The environment here is similar to that of Zhuofeng. Let alone you, anyone who has been to Zhuofeng and comes here again will say that it is somewhat similar."

The Mauryan King said and took two steps forward.

I saw him wave his hand, and a steep cliff glowed with light.

The bright area is like a door, giving people an attractive feeling.

"No, that is his and my temporary hiding place."

The Mauryan King pointed to the bright door and said.

"here?"

Gu Sheng looked at the cliff in surprise.

He did not expect that the Maurya King's hiding place would be such an inconspicuous place.

"Yes, this is it."

There was a hint of amusement in Maurya's voice.

"Walk!"

With that said, the Maurya King flew up.

Gu Sheng flew in with the Peacock King.

After entering, the scenery inside is pleasant, with mountains and water, and you feel at ease.

Gu Sheng looked at everything in front of him in shock.

He didn't expect that it would be so beautiful, like a fairyland.

"It's a little rough here, but it's safe enough."

Maurya said as he walked with some pride.

Gu Sheng looked around with admiration in his eyes.

The scenery here is indeed beautiful and full of spiritual energy. It is a good place for cultivation.

"Peacock King, this place is so beautiful."

Gu Sheng sighed.

The Mauryan King smiled and said, "This is a place I carefully selected, so it will definitely be good. Do you like it here?"

"I like it, I like it so much!"

Gu Sheng nodded.

"As long as you like it. I see that old lady Ji Huina hurt you, so you can rest here to recover."

The two of them talked and came to a wooden house.

Gu Sheng nodded, "Thank you, Peacock King."

The Mauryan King waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'm just doing what I should do."

The two walked into the wooden house, and Gu Sheng was surprised to find that the interior was warm and comfortable.

Everything here seems well organized and gives people a feeling of home.

Gu Sheng came to the table with a set of exquisite tea sets in front of him. The teapot was steaming, and it was obviously tea that had just been brewed.

"Are these for me?"

Gu Sheng asked in surprise. .

"Yes, these are all for you."

The Peacock King nodded and said.

A warm current surged in Gu Sheng's heart. He didn't expect the Peacock King to be so attentive.

"Thank you so much."

Gu Sheng expressed his thanks again.

The Mauryan King shook his head and said, "You may have misunderstood. This house belongs to me, but everything in it and this tea were not prepared by me."

"Oh? Who is that?"

Gu Sheng became even more curious.

"It's a good friend of yours. He knew you might come, so he made preparations in advance."

Maurya said with a smile.

"My friend? Mine?"

Gu Sheng was puzzled again.

He thought about his friends and finally set his target on Yan Ruyu.

"Is it Yan Ruyu?"

Gu Sheng muttered secretly in his heart.

"Okay, you're still injured, so I won't bother you. If you need anything, you can send a message to me."

After saying that, the Mauryan King turned and left.

Gu Sheng sat next to the tea table and took a gentle sip of tea.

Suddenly, a refreshing feeling came to my heart.

This also gave him a short rest for his tired body.

Then, Gu Sheng came to the bed and sat cross-legged.

With the instigation of divine power, he mobilized the power of "Yuan" to start repairing his body.

A few hours later, Gu Sheng's body also recovered somewhat.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

Gu Sheng listened carefully. The footsteps were different from those of the Mauryan King. They sounded more like a woman's!

Immediately, Gu Sheng stood up suddenly.

"hiss……"

Suddenly, the pain in my chest suddenly came.

Gu Sheng groaned secretly. He didn't expect Ji Hui's impact to be so severe, and even the "Yuan" that could restore the body could not be completely repaired.

It seems that more time is needed.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, the wooden door of the house was gently pushed open. (End of chapter)
