Chapter 383: Encountering the Insidious Gu King
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. Hunyuanzi has destroyed your Dantian. You can no longer continue to practice, and your current cultivation will gradually dissipate, and you will eventually become a strong mortal!"
"So my suggestion is that you don't have to go back to the Beast Taming Sect. Now you can no longer continue to practice, and you have lost your value to the Beast Taming Sect. If you go back, you will definitely be abandoned, and even persecuted by people who used to dislike each other, and your life will be in danger."
"If I were you, I would leave the Beast Taming Sect from now on, find a place far away to hide my identity, marry and have children, and live a stable life as a mortal!"
"That's it. If you two don't listen and insist on going back to the Beast Taming Sect, your lives will be in danger. Don't regret it!" Yuanxiao concluded.
Wang San and Wang Liu were silent for a long time, and finally stood up and bowed to Yuanxiao together, saying: "Thank you for your guidance today! Let's discuss it again."
Yuanxiao said no more, called Xiaojin and Xiaohuang to fly into the sky again, and flew towards the Golden Sect.
As for whether Wang San and Wang Liu would follow his advice and retire to the countryside, it was up to them, and Yuan Xiao would not care about it anymore.
There will be many people who have crossed paths in life. You may influence one person, but it is impossible to force everyone to change.
A few days later, one person and two beasts finally entered the territory of Song State.
Yuan Xiao suddenly remembered that he had not been to the Yanshan Spiritual Stone Mine for a while, and he did not know the current situation of the Yanshan Camp managed by Ye Ying, so he simply let Xiao Huang fly to the Yanshan Camp.
Prepare to fly around the mining area of Huangjin Sect for a few times and patrol to prevent anyone from stealing the spiritual stone mine, and then go to Yanshan Camp to find Ye Ying.
The Yanshan Spiritual Stone Mine area is more than 500 miles in radius. Since Yuan Xiao led people to join forces with Chixia Zhenren of Chixia Sect to defeat the Shadow Sect, Huangjin Sect and Chixia Sect have been divided into 60% and 40%, and their respective areas have been divided. Both sects are mining spiritual stones normally.
Yuan Xiao first let Xiao Huang patrol along the border and found nothing unusual. Then let Xiao Huang go deeper into the mining area and take a look around.
When he got around to the big bluestone, Yuan Xiao finally found something unusual. A masked old man in black was looking for something near the big bluestone.
Yuan Xiao immediately became alert.
What is this big bluestone? It was the place where Yuan Xiao set up an ambush last time to surround and kill the Little Gu King and Bai Xiaoyao!
The big bluestone was where the Little Gu King was trapped by the formation before his death! At that time, Yuan Xiao joined forces with Brother Gao Yigao, Tie Kun, Xuan Jizi, Master Haiming, and Chixia Zhenren to kill the two here.
Now there is a masked old man investigating here, and it is likely related to the Little Gu King!
With this thought, Yuan Xiao let Xiao Huang land and prepared to go forward to test who it was to prevent threats to the safety of the Yanshan Lingshi Mine and the Yanshan Camp.
"Old man, I am honored to meet you!" Yuan Xiao took the initiative to greet him after landing.
The masked old man's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yuanxiao first, then looked around. There was no one, and he was relieved immediately.
He was just a young man in the late Jindan period, not to worry about. And there was no one around him, so there was no threat to him.
The masked old man stopped his exploration, clapped his hands, and said, "Who are you? What's the matter?"
"I am a casual cultivator, I like to travel around, look for immortals and visit secluded places. I wandered here today and saw that the old man looked elegant and surrounded by immortals. I must be a Taoist master, so I admired him and wanted to talk to him. If I can make friends with him, it would be my honor!" Yuanxiao said with a fist.
"Oh, you are good at talking!" said the masked old man.
"How can we meet in the wild without wine! Come, old man, let's drink and talk!" Yuanxiao said, took out a pot of strong liquor and two wine glasses, and then put away Xiao Jin and Xiao Huang.
Yuanxiao placed the wine pot on the big bluestone, sat down cross-legged, poured two glasses of wine directly, drank one himself first, and then extended his hand to signal the old man to drink as well.
The old man had his face covered, so he naturally did not go to serve the wine.
"My friend, have you ever seen anyone else here before?" the old man asked.
"This is my first time passing by here, and the first person I saw was you, old man!" Yuanxiao said.
"Whose territory is this?" the old man continued to ask.
"I really don't know." Yuanxiao naturally said he didn't know, because he had already said that this was his first time passing by here.
"What are you looking for, old man? How about I help you find it?" Yuanxiao said.
In fact, there should be nothing here. After the battle ended that day, Yuanxiao and others had already cleaned up the battlefield.
But Yuanxiao did not dare to guarantee that there were no omissions, otherwise, how did this masked old man find this place today? There must be a reason.
The masked old man was of course looking for the Little Gu King. He found this place by tracing the place where the aura disappeared last with the help of the few poisonous insects he gave to the Little Gu King.
Because he had once personally sacrificed those poisonous insects, and although he later gave them to the Little Gu King, they still had a telepathic connection with him. When he came out of retreat, he sensed that the poisonous insects had disappeared, and the place where the aura disappeared last was here, so he tracked it all the way here.
Although it was confirmed that the Little Gu King and the few poisonous insects disappeared last at the big bluestone, the old man did not find any other useful clues.
Why did they disappear? Who did it? The masked old man had no clue at all.
"Oh, I'm looking for someone!" the old man said casually.
"What kind of person? If I have seen him before or meet him in the future, maybe I can tell you."
"A black-faced young man with several scars on his face, have you seen him?" The masked old man said with a gleam in his eyes.
Yuanxiao immediately realized the insidiousness of the masked old man!
The old man was digging a hole, waiting for Yuanxiao to jump in. If Yuanxiao said something nonsense, it might alert the enemy!
Because the little Gu King who was killed did have several scars on his face, but it was not a black-faced young man, but a young man with very fair skin.
If Yuanxiao casually said that he had seen him and then casually gave the old man directions, it would be obvious that he was lying! At that time, the old man would directly attack Yuanxiao.
"Black-faced young man with scars on his face, please don't blame me, old man, I have never seen him!" Yuanxiao said calmly.
The masked old man was obviously a little disappointed, because the clues were broken again. So far, he has found nothing except the location where the little Gu King and the Gu worm disappeared.
"You are just a small Jindan cultivator, I don't think you can reach his level!" The old man did make sense. It is difficult for a Jindan cultivator and a great perfection cultivator to have any intersection.
But the old man was wrong. Yuanxiao was an exception!
The old man took out two Gu worms calmly, holding one in his left hand and quietly behind his back, and hid it under the big bluestone as bait. The other Gu worm was held in his palm.
Then the old man suddenly attacked Yuanxiao, grabbed Yuanxiao in his hand, and threw the Gu worm into Yuanxiao's mouth!
Under the shock, Yuanxiao had no power to resist!
