Chapter 101: Complete version of the breath-holding technique
Picking up the jade slip, Gu Mo probed with his spiritual sense, and the next moment countless pieces of information flooded into his mind. The feeling of having knowledge directly imprinted into the brain was simply too convenient.

Of course, if the soul is not strong, the influx of a large amount of knowledge will hurt the soul instead. This is probably why the use of jade slips requires the concentration of spiritual consciousness. Only when the soul is strong enough to condense spiritual consciousness can it freely receive the large amount of information transmitted by the jade slips.

"Huh? This is..."

After reading the information on the jade slip, Gu Mo couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face, because the jade slip recorded a secret technique, and it was a secret technique that Gu Mo was very familiar with, the breath-concealing technique.

Furthermore, this is the complete version of the Breath-Concealing Technique, which can be practiced to perfection.

Gu Mo's mastery of the breath-concealing technique is enough to hide from detection by foundation-building cultivators. If he could practice the breath-concealing technique to perfection, wouldn't he be able to hide from detection by golden elixir cultivators?

If one goes one step further and practices the Breath-Containing Technique to perfection, what will the scene be like?

Besides being pleasantly surprised, Gu Mo couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether the evil cultivator hiding in Qinglu Sect had any connection with this group of killers?
Otherwise, why do both of them have the secret art of Breath Concealment, especially this one who even brought the complete book. In fact, the reason is very simple. Since they want to kill the true descendant of Qinglu Sect, they must hide themselves first, otherwise they will be discovered before the plan begins.

Therefore, many overseas sect disciples who had not practiced the art of concealing their breath before had to cram at the last minute. They had to lurk and wait for their targets to appear while comprehending the art of concealing their breath. As long as they could restrain their own breath, they would have more confidence when they took action.

Gu Mo thought for a moment and gave up thinking about the connection between the two, because it was no longer important. No matter what, the unknown force's attack on the disciples participating in the true transmission trial was definitely a mortal enemy with the Qinglu Sect. No matter whether there was any connection or not, as long as they were discovered, they would definitely encounter a thundering blow from the Qinglu Sect.

Besides, these were not something that a small Qi-refining cultivator like him needed to consider. What Gu Mo had to do now was to hold on until support from the sect arrived.

Throwing the jade slip and storage bag into the black fog space, Gu Mo used a small flame wave to burn the body of the foundation-building monk, turning it into fertilizer for this spiritual field.

In comparison, Yuan Niya seemed much more amateurish when using fire spells to burn the corpse.

The bodies were dealt with, the craters caused by the potato mines and some traces of battle were smoothed over, and everything looked as if nothing had happened.

"This is the confiscated spoils!"

Returning to the nut array, Yuan Niya took out several magic weapons and a pile of spirit stones and pills. These were all obtained by her from the corpses. These were items that the cultivators stored in the small universe in their sleeves, and would explode after the cultivators' death.

"We'll divide the spoils after we get back." Gu Mo waved his hand. At this moment, he had already vaguely sensed that some monks were approaching here.

I don’t know whether it was support from the sect or support from the killer.

"it is good!"

Yuan Niya put the spoils into her storage bag, then began to regulate her breathing and recover in preparation for the next battle.

At the same time, Chu Feifei also completed the repair of the nut formation. Originally, Chu Feifei wanted to repair the formation of the villa, but unfortunately, the formation of the villa was too badly damaged and could no longer be repaired.

"Whoosh!"

After waiting for a while, a sound of breaking air came from far away and landed outside the spiritual field where Gu Mo and the other two were. Gu Mo glanced at the newcomer and sighed in his heart. The support from this sect was a little slow. If it were someone else, he would have turned into a corpse by now.

However, there is only one foundation-building cultivator coming this time, so it is not a big problem as long as they do not leave the nut formation.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Jialiu looked around. He received a message from Jiaqi and rushed over quickly. Now that he was here, Jiaqi who sent him the message was nowhere to be seen. Was he playing a joke on him?

Glancing at Gu Mo and the others not far away, Jia Liu felt that this didn't seem like a lie. After all, the target was not far away.

But the target had not been killed yet, Jia Qi would not abandon the mission target just like that. Based on his understanding of Jia Qi, this guy did not seem like someone who would hand over the mission of killing the True Seed to others.

There was no other way, Jialiu took out the communication talisman and started to contact Jiaqi. He always felt that this matter was weird. Jialiu scanned Gu Mo and the other two with his spiritual sense and saw their cultivation levels. Two were in the middle stage of Qi Refining and one was in the early stage of Qi Refining. Under such circumstances, Jiaqi actually asked him to come for support.

"no respond?"

Jialiu took the communication jade talisman and saw that there was no response for a long time. He felt even more uneasy. Finally, Jialiu contacted the commander-in-chief of the operation, the Jindan cultivator, to inquire about the situation.

"What! Jiaqi's soul lamp is extinguished!"

Soon Jialiu learned the real reason why Jiaqi disappeared. The soul lamp went out, which meant that Jiaqi had died. Upon hearing the news, Jialiu became alert instantly. It was obvious that Jiaqi died here, which meant that there was something here that could kill a foundation-building cultivator.

But no matter how Jia Liu observed, he did not find anything that could threaten the Foundation Establishment cultivators. But the more he did so, the more uneasy Jia Liu felt.

After all, Jiaqi’s death was not fake.

Finally, Jialiu turned his gaze to Gu Mo and the other two in the nut formation. These people should know something, but when Jialiu saw Gu Mo's calm expression, his heart suddenly tightened for no reason.

Why could a small fry at the second level of Qi Refining be so calm in front of this Foundation Establishment cultivator? Could he be some powerful person who was hiding his aura?

If this is true, then everything can be explained. Jiaqi encountered a strong enemy and sought support from him. However, on his way here, Jiaqi was eventually defeated and died.

Thinking of this, Jialiu paused slightly. His strength was about the same as Jiaqi's. If the other party could kill Jiaqi, they could also kill him.

Seeing that the foundation-building cultivator was suspicious there, Gu Mo felt a little amused. However, this was not bad either. The longer the time dragged on, the better it would be for them anyway.

Gu Mo could already vaguely sense that another cultivator was approaching here, but this one's speed seemed a bit slow. If they were going to provide support, shouldn't they be moving at full speed? Why was this one so slow? Wasn't he the sect's support?
"It's been so long, the target should have been eliminated." Qian Qiyi looked at the villa in the distance with indifference on his face.

As one of the spies who infiltrated Qinglu Sect, Qian Qiyi could have participated in this mission of true teaching, become the protector of a certain disciple, and then secretly take action to eliminate that disciple.

But in the end Qian Qiyi did not do so. He and He Shaogang are the only remaining spies who have successfully infiltrated Qinglu Sect. They will play a greater role in the future instead of being used to eliminate a few disciples participating in the trial.

However, after Qian Qiyi learned of Yuan Niya's request for help, he immediately changed his mind and accepted the mission to provide support. Afterwards, Qian Qiyi deliberately slowed down on the way, with the intention of killing Yuan Niya because she could not get support.

The price he had to pay was just some punishment for mission failure. After all, this area was full of killers, and he was surrounded by killers on his way to provide support. It was not very reasonable for him to be slow.

It is definitely worth paying a negligible price to get rid of a true seed with great potential like Yuan Niya.

"Ok?"

However, when Qian Qiyi entered the villa and saw Gu Mo and the other two who were unharmed, he was stunned, "What's going on? How come these targets are all fine?" While he was wondering, Qian Qiyi felt a sound of breaking air behind him. The person who made the move was none other than Jia Liu. Jia Liu naturally noticed Qian Qiyi's appearance, and seeing that it was the support from Qinglu Sect, Jia Liu quickly hid himself, and then took advantage of the moment when Qian Qiyi was stunned to launch an attack.

"Grass!"

Feeling the attack from behind, Qian Qiyi was almost laughing with anger. He was actually attacked by his own people. However, Qian Qiyi was also clear that their identities were only known to the sect's top leaders. The other disciples of the sect, including the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, did not know his identity.

Therefore, the attack from behind was definitely aimed at taking his life. Without hesitation, Qian Qiyi raised his hand and a flying knife appeared, meeting the attack from behind.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a sharp explosion, the battle between the two foundation-building monks began.

"Gu Mo, do we need help?"

Yuan Niya and Chu Feifei gathered around Gu Mo and asked him questions. After waiting for so long, the sect's support finally arrived. However, the guards who came this time did not seem to be very strong, and they only fought the enemy on equal terms.

"That is a battle between foundation-building monks. We cannot interfere." Gu Mo shook his head. He was a little wary of the sect deacon who came to support him.

The reason is very simple. Knowing that they were in danger, the other party still came over so slowly. How could this not arouse suspicion?

Fortunately, Gu Mo sensed another breath approaching, and the speed of that breath approaching was very fast, unlike the slow speed of the breath just now, it seemed like it was coming to support.

I just don't know where the support is coming from. Gu Mo is now using the vague perception of his spiritual sense. This perception method has a wide range and is difficult to be detected. The disadvantage is that the perception is not very clear.

Gu Mo could sense someone approaching, and the two genuine foundation-building cultivators Jia Liu and Qian Qiyi who were fighting naturally noticed it as well. However, because they could not be sure which side the people coming were from, both of them chose to wait, and naturally the intensity of the battle decreased.

Soon Qian Qiyi was the first to see clearly who was coming. After seeing that it was Qinglu Sect's "own people", Qian Qiyi felt anxious, because this meant that the plan to get rid of Yuan Niya had completely failed.

Suddenly, Qian Qiyi's eyes swept towards Gu Mo, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Without hesitation, Qian Qiyi conveyed the message to Gu Mo.

"Ok?"

Gu Mo, who was watching the show, was stunned when he heard the voice next to his ear. Then he was horrified. The deacon of Qinglu Sect who came to support was actually one of the evil cultivators hidden in the sect.

At this moment, the other party wanted him to launch a sneak attack on Yuan Niya. Although the other party promised a lot of benefits, Gu Mo pretended that he heard nothing.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Gu Mo did not react, Qian Qiyi was shocked, wondering what went wrong. Before he could think about it, Jia Liu also realized that it was the support from Qinglu Sect that came. Without hesitation, Jia Liu made a small burst of energy, forced Qian Qiyi back, and quickly fled away.

The two of them fought one-on-one and the result was a draw. If there was another one, he might not leave but might stay.

Seeing Jialiu fleeing, Qian Qiyi did not stop him. He couldn't really leave his own people behind. Unfortunately, the plan to get rid of Yuan Niya failed this time.

"It looks like it should be safe now."

Seeing the enemy retreat, Gu Mo knew that the people coming this time must be the sect’s support. After a few breaths, a beam of light descended, and then Rong Guangsheng’s figure appeared.

"Hu~~"

Rong Guangsheng glanced at Gu Mo and the other two and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the three of them were safe, otherwise he, as a protector, would be derelict in his duty.

"Deacon Qian, thank you for your help this time." Rong Guangsheng turned his gaze to Qian Qiyi. He had just sensed that there was a battle among foundation-building monks here. In his opinion, the fact that Gu Mo and the other two were safe and sound was thanks to Qian Qiyi's timely support.

"Since Deacon Rong is here, I'll leave this place to you. I have other support tasks to perform." Qian Qiyi nodded, then turned into a beam of light and left.

But after walking more than ten miles, Qian Qiyi stopped with a gloomy face. On the way, Qian Qiyi recalled what had just happened. His voice transmission had indeed reached Gu Mo's ears, but the other party did not make any move. This was very telling.

It's ridiculous that Gu Mo wants to get rid of them after he has climbed up to Yuan Niya's high branch.

Since he is a disobedient chess piece, there is no need to keep him. Thinking of this, Qian Qiyi took out the communication talisman and reported Gu Mo's situation to He Shaogang. The jade tablet that sealed a wisp of Gu Mo's soul was in He Shaogang's hands at the moment. Therefore, only He Shaogang could decide Gu Mo's life or death.

"This is happening!"

He Shao just finished reading the message sent by Qian Qiyi and frowned. Gu Mo was a chess piece he was very optimistic about, but he became disobedient.

"Well, a disobedient chess piece cannot be kept no matter how good it is." He Shaogang is not a hesitant person. They are taking huge risks by sneaking into Qinglu Sect to carry out the mission of disintegration, and they cannot afford any mistakes. Since Gu Mo is disobedient and wants to get rid of them, He Shaogang can only destroy this chess piece.

Immediately, He Shaogang took out a jade token with Gu Mo's name on it and crushed it. At the same time, the soul in the jade token was annihilated.

"Hu~~"

Throwing away the broken jade token, He Shaogang let out a long sigh, feeling sorry for losing an excellent chess piece. However, no matter how good a chess piece is, if it doesn't obey, it will have to be abandoned.

Unfortunately, they failed to eliminate Yuan Niya this time, but the operation was generally successful, and they had successfully killed several of the top-ranked true seeds.

The rest of the disciples who took part in the true teaching assessment were either killed or injured. This wave definitely dealt a heavy blow to the younger generation of Qinglu Sect.

Of course, the sect He Shaogang belonged to also paid an equally heavy price for this, and the number of casualties was even greater than that of the Qinglu Sect.

However, the Qinglu Sect lost the elites among its inner disciples, including those who were the true descendants of the sect, while the He Shaogang Sect lost only relatively ordinary disciples. Although these disciples were also elite within the sect, they were not among the most talented and had the most potential.

The loss of these people is certainly heartbreaking, but compared with the results of the battle, these losses are still acceptable. In the future, when we capture the Qinglu Sect's mountain gate and obtain a 4th-level dojo, these losses will be quickly made up.

Thinking of this, He Shao's mood suddenly improved a lot. This plan was planned by him, and the successful result was also his credit.

Compared with this, Gu Mo, a disobedient chess piece, is nothing in the face of such a great achievement.
