Chapter 456 Night Skeleton

Gu Sheng could see that Elder Qingyi couldn't defeat Jiang Yi at all.

If the horn sounded a few minutes later, Elder Qingyi would probably be a corpse by then.

"Elder!"

A cultivator from the Shaking Light Holy Land stepped forward and shouted.

Elder Qingyi ignored it and walked straight forward.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a rainbow light flew over.

The rainbow light dissipated, and a middle-aged man walked towards the elder in Tsing Yi.

Gu Sheng saw that the middle-aged man had a deep cultivation level and was no ordinary cultivator.

When Yao Qing and other cultivators from the Shaking Light Holy Land saw the middle-aged man, thousands of them bowed down to pay their respects.

And he just greeted him gently.

"Senior Brother Qingyi."

The middle-aged man stepped forward and shouted.

"Junior brother Li Yuan, I have something to discuss with you."

Elder Qingyi said with a serious face.

At this time, Gu Sheng approached Yao Qing and asked, "Yao Qing, who is this person?"

"He is Li Yuan, the supreme elder of our Yaoguang Holy Land, and one of the main people in charge of the Northern Territory."

Yao Qing explained.

"he?"

Gu Sheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but think to himself: "Where did he go when it was so dangerous just now? Why did he come out now?"

Gu Sheng stood aside and watched the two supreme elders talking. From their frowning brows, it could be seen that it was something important.

Perhaps, they wanted to discuss how to deal with Jiang Yi.

After a while of conversation, Elder Qingyi waved his hand towards Li Yuan and walked aside with other cultivators from the Shaking Light Holy Land.

"Everyone, gather here!"

Elder Li Yuan ordered.

After hearing this order, all the mountain people who came here moved quickly.

It's so orderly, so different from before.

Maybe he just saw the dangers of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory. If he doesn't obey the command, he will only die.

In this day and age, who would think about death?

Elder Li Yuan stood on the rocks and scanned the gathered mountain people.

He cleared his throat and began to speak.

"Everyone, what happened today is no small matter. The conflict between the Holy Land of Shaking Light and the wild beasts of the Northern Territory has affected our land. From now on, everyone must unite as one to resist foreign enemies."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd started talking.

Elder Li Yuan knew that these mountain people might be used to a free life.

But at this critical moment, they must obey the command, otherwise they will seek death.

"I emphasize it again!"

Elder Li Yuan's voice became more severe, "Don't leave here! We will set up a barrier here. Only within the barrier will you be safe. Any unauthorized actions will be at your own risk!"

The chatter in the crowd gradually died down and was replaced by a heavy silence.

They knew that what Elder Li Yuan said was not alarmist. They had already seen the terror of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory.

At this moment, Elder Qingyi led a group of cultivators in a hurry.

They held various magic weapons in their hands and began to set up barriers around the valley.

"Swish swish!"

Rays of light shot out from the magic weapon.

Soon, a huge light network formed in the sky, covering the entire valley.

Not long after, Elder Qingyi returned here with other cultivators.

"The barrier has been set up, everyone can rest assured."

The voice of Elder Qingyi sounded in the valley.

Hearing this, most of the mountain people felt a lot of comfort.

However, Gu Sheng's heart was full of worries.

Because he knew that although this barrier looked powerful, in front of Jiang Yi and the others, it was probably as fragile as paper.

Everyone here, including Gu Sheng, is like an exposed guinea pig, helpless.

As long as Jiang Yi is willing, he may become the prey of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory at any time.

"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't sit still and wait for death.

He must find a way to get out of here!

…

A quarter of an hour later, Elder Li Yuan finished speaking and asked Yao Qing and others to take these mountain people to resettle their homes.

After Yao Qing accepted the order, with the help of other Yaoguang cultivators, he placed these hundreds of mountain people halfway up the mountain.

Of course, this place is still inside the barrier and is not exposed to the outside.

Gu Sheng was placed a little higher up.

After all, he is a young man, and it is easier to come and go than an older man.

Entering the resettlement house, Gu Sheng took a look at the situation here.

This so-called residence is just a cave-like place dug out of the mountain.

It's just that the space here is relatively spacious, it's okay to keep out the wind and rain, but it's okay to keep warm...forget it.

Gu Sheng was packing his things when suddenly an old man complained.

"Oh! I don't know if I can go out this time..."

When Gu Sheng heard this, he obviously felt that the old man had been here before.

So after Gu Sheng packed up his things, he went directly to the old man's side.

"Uncle, have you been here?"

The old man looked at Gu Sheng and shook his head helplessly: "I've been here before. I almost died here that time. I didn't expect to come again."

After saying that, the old man sat on the stone and asked, "Young man, it's such a shame that you come here at such a young age."

"Old Li Tou, when you came here, you were almost like him."

At this time, a thin middle-aged man next to him suddenly spoke.

"cut!"

Lao Li waved his hand towards him: "What do you know? I was just trying to make ends meet, but now it's different. We all have something to eat. Who would be willing to take the initiative?"

"I came here on my own initiative."

Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.

"you?"

Lao Litou's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.

Lao Litou frowned even more tightly.

He looked Gu Sheng up and down, as if he wanted to see something from this young man.

He remembered that when he first came here, he was full of enthusiasm.

Fantasy to make your way in this world full of mystery and danger.

But the manager has too many things to do, and his enthusiasm is gradually wiped out by the cruelty of reality.

"What are you doing for?"

Old Li Tou couldn't help but ask.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "I'm just curious."

"curious?"

The corner of Lao Litou's mouth twitched.

He felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched: "Young man, curiosity will kill the cat."

"I know."

Gu Sheng nodded and moved closer to Lao Litou, making the distance between the two closer.

"But I don't want to live a mediocre life. I want more experiences and adventures."

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Old Li Tou was silent.

Maybe he saw his former self in Gu Sheng's eyes and actions.

He knew that everyone had their own choice, and he, an old guy, had no way of influencing Gu Sheng's decision.

"Oh well!"

Old Li Tou sighed and said: "But let me remind you, this place is not as simple as you think. It is very dangerous in the source mine."

"What kind of dangerous method?"

Gu Sheng's curiosity was completely aroused.

Lao Litou's expression became solemn and he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

Then he whispered: "There are some mines here where the yin energy is rampant. Once people go in, it will be difficult to come out."

But no matter how low Laotou Li's voice was, someone still heard him.

The faces of those who heard it showed expressions of surprise, and they all stopped what they were doing.

Although they knew that the source mine was dangerous, they did not expect that it would reach this point.

But there was not much surprise on Gu Sheng's face. He just said lightly: "I see, it's just a joke."

"You kid, you really don't know how high the sky is, but since you have decided to stay, just take care of yourself."

When Old Li saw that Gu Sheng didn't seem afraid, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Then, other people also packed up their things and stopped talking about anything.

As night falls, the lights in the valley gradually go out, and people return to their homes one after another.

Gu Sheng simply packed up his things because he planned to leave here tonight.

The most important thing is to avoid being chased by the Ji family, there is no need to waste time here.

In the middle of the night, the coolness is getting stronger.

Gu Sheng quietly left the residence and headed towards the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain was the commanding point of the entire valley, and from there he could better observe the route out.

Just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Gu Sheng!"

Gu Sheng's figure froze and almost rolled down.

He turned around and saw Yao Qing.

Her figure looked particularly cold in the moonlight, and her eyes stared at him closely.

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Sheng asked.

Yao Qing did not answer his question, but asked: "Why did you leave?"

"Don't worry!"

Gu Sheng replied directly.

"Say! Otherwise, I will take you down!"

Yao Qing said, and was about to step forward and pull Gu Sheng down.

Gu Sheng hurriedly avoided and said casually: "I have some things that need to be done."

"What is more important than your life? Didn't you see those guys in Jiang Yi during the day? If you go out, you will die!"

Yao Qing said speechlessly.

"I don't want you to worry about it!"

After saying that, Gu Sheng climbed directly to a higher place.

Yao Qing looked at Gu Sheng's stubborn back with furrowed brows, feeling helpless in her heart.

She knew Gu Sheng's temper. Once he decided something, even nine cows couldn't hold him back.

But she couldn't just watch him die, after all, they met each other.

"Gu Sheng, why are you doing this?"

Yao Qing's voice was pleading.

In this desolate northern region, she really didn't want anything to happen to Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng didn't answer, but speeded up.

He wanted to leave this barrier as soon as possible and leave the shackles of cultivators in the Shaking Light Holy Land.

At this moment, Yao Qing's figure suddenly disappeared.

The next moment, she had appeared in front of Gu Sheng, blocking his way.

"Yao Qing, what are you doing?"

Gu Sheng's tone was filled with displeasure.

"I can't let you die."

Yao Qing said coldly.

"well……"

Gu Sheng sighed.

He knew Yao Qing had good intentions, but he also had his own ideas.

"Yao Qing, I know you are worried about me, but I have to go."

Gu Sheng pushed Yao Qing away and walked forward again.

Yao Qing shook her head, knowing that she could not convince Gu Sheng.

Therefore, she decided to follow Gu Sheng, at least in this way she could protect him for a while.

In this way, Gu Sheng continued to climb higher.

Yao Qing followed closely behind, just following silently without saying anything more.

"Hang Chih Chih..."

After a while of hard work, Gu Sheng finally broke away from the barrier and came outside.

Gu Sheng looked around, looking at the dark night, and suddenly felt a horrifying feeling in his heart.

After all, it was a dark night with only the whistling wind.

If you are timid, you may not be able to move even a single step.

"Okay, you go back. We'll see you again when we have the chance."

Gu Sheng said to Yao Qing on the side.

"Oh well."

Yao Qing nodded helplessly.

Just when Yao Qing was about to leave, a phosphorus fire burned in front of them.

"Chichichi!"

The phosphorus fire looked particularly dazzling in the night, as if an evil eye was staring at them.

"What the hell!"

Gu Sheng was startled, and instinctively wanted to muster his divine power to resist.

But then he realized that his divine power had been blocked and he couldn't use it at all!

His heart sank, and he prepared to resist with his body.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Just then, a strange sound came.

The phosphorus fire suddenly condensed into the shape of a skeleton, with green flames dancing in its eyes, and it rushed towards Gu Sheng.

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing this, Yao Qing used her long sword without hesitation.

A sword light flashed and killed the skeleton directly.

The spiritual power contained in the sword light instantly turned the phosphorous fire skeleton into ashes.

"These are night skeletons in the northern wilderness. They live by sucking human essence."

Yao Qing said with a solemn voice.

Gu Sheng nodded and took a nervous swallow.

If Yao Qing hadn't taken action just now, I'm afraid he would have been poisoned.

Just then, they heard footsteps in the distance.

"Someone is coming!"

Gu Sheng shouted in a low voice.

"It should be the movement here that alerted the other cultivators."

Yao Qing reacted quickly and said loudly: "Ye Skull attacked the barrier, and Gu Sheng came to help."

The cultivators who came over looked surprised when they saw Yao Qing and Gu Sheng, as well as the remains of the phosphorous fire skeletons on the ground.

They obviously did not expect that Gu Sheng, a seemingly inconspicuous young man, could actually fight against the Night Skull in the Northern Territory.

"Yao Qing, you did a good job."

An older cultivator said.

Yao Qing smiled slightly and turned to Gu Sheng.

"We have to strengthen the protection of the barrier."

Another cultivator said.

Gu Sheng said nothing.

Although he knew that the barriers here did need to be strengthened, he knew better that these barriers would not be of much use to the truly strong.

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

The other cultivators said and began to walk back.

Yao Qing glared at Gu Sheng. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes said everything.

Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly: "Let's go back!"

Hearing this, Yao Qing's face showed a smile.

Soon, everyone returned to the barrier together.

Before Gu Sheng returned to his residence, he saw Elder Li Yuan arriving.

"Back?"

Elder Li Yuan asked coldly.

"Back... back."

Gu Sheng said hesitantly.

"Elder, it's the Night Skeleton. It was about to attack the barrier. I discovered it and killed it with the help of Gu Sheng."

Yao Qing saw the elder's gloomy face and hurriedly explained. (End of chapter)
