Plants vs. Cultivation.

Chapter 106: The Plan to Get Rid of Gu Mo

Gu Mo's nesting doll-like hiding method is so powerful that even a Jindan cultivator might be fooled if he is not careful.

After all, most people would subconsciously think that the hidden cultivation is their true cultivation, and few would think that there is another layer beneath this hidden cultivation.

But this is not the limit. If Gu Mo can practice the Breath-Concealing Technique to perfection, he can then put on many layers, making people never know his true level of cultivation.

"Now, please come up and draw lots, brothers and sisters!" He Shaogang glanced at the more than 40 people present, and then took out a box.

Upon hearing this, everyone stepped forward one by one to draw lots.

When Gu Mo stepped forward, the smile on He Shaogang's face did not change at all, only the murderous intent in his eyes remained. He Shaogang really wanted to get rid of Gu Mo. The longer Gu Mo lived, the more He Shaogang would have to live in fear.

However, after today, everything should be over.

"Number 1!"

Gu Mo glanced at the drawn wooden stick, his expression did not change at all, even though this stick meant that he would be the first to appear, and his opponent would be an opponent who had reached the great perfection of Qi training.

After knowing that the person who presided over this outer sect martial arts competition was He Shaogang, Gu Mo was mentally prepared that the other party would secretly do something, and now it seemed to be true.

But in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery is useless.

After the drawing of lots, the rest of the people left the square, leaving behind Gu Mo and a white-haired outer disciple. When they saw that the first match was between these two, everyone around them showed surprise.

Is this the strongest versus the weakest?

If the Great Perfection of Qi Refining is the strongest level of cultivation in the outer sect competition, then the second level of Qi Refining displayed by Gu Mo is the weakest level of cultivation in this outer sect competition.

However, since Gu Mo was able to stay and become one of the more than 40 people, he must be no ordinary person.

"The competition begins!"

After He Shaogang announced the start of the competition, he stepped aside and let Gu Mo face off against the strongest person in this outer sect competition. This was indeed a result of He Shaogang's trickery.

But this was just He Shaogang's intention to disgust Gu Mo. He had not thought of letting Gu Mo die in the martial arts field. He also did not collude with the outer disciple who had reached the great perfection of Qi training to ask him to kill him in the battle.

The reason is very simple, this competition is held under the eyes of the sect master and several peak masters. If any emergency occurs, the sect master will definitely take action to stop it.

After all, talents are already scarce in the sect, so it is naturally impossible for them to lose the already scarce talents in the arena.

Since it is impossible to accomplish, He Shaogang naturally would not act rashly. If he were to act, he would have to kill with one blow and would never give Gu Mo another chance.

"Junior brother, show us whatever skills you have." Ao Kaifu said, looking at the young Gu Mo in front of him.

He is a man who has reached the great perfection of Qi training, and is beating Gu Mo who is at the early stage of Qi training. Isn't this a sure win? Even if Gu Mo has some hidden cards, can he beat him by crossing two realms?

"Please advise!"

Gu Mo saluted with his fists, then waved his hand to release a small wave of flames.

Seeing the magic cast by Gu Mo, many of the disciples who were watching from all sides almost laughed out loud. Using spiritual farming magic to fight, it was really an idea that this guy could come up with.

Ao Kaifu, who thought Gu Mo would come up with some amazing trump card, couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth when he saw that Gu Mo just used a small flame wave.

He let Gu Mo attack first, which was considered courteous, to avoid people saying that he, a man who had reached the great perfection of Qi training, bullied a young man in the early stage of Qi training. Unfortunately, the young man did not seize the opportunity.

"Let's finish it."

Ao Kaifu summoned the magic sword and used the sword control technique he had practiced for many years. Suddenly, the magic sword turned into a stream of light and slashed Gu Mo. Facing this swift magic sword, Gu Mo gently turned sideways and avoided the attack. The magic sword that seemed as fast as lightning seemed to be in slow motion in the eyes of Gu Mo who had concentrated his consciousness.

"Ok?"

Ao Kaifu was stunned when he saw Gu Mo easily avoid his attack.

Having been in the state of Qi Refining Great Perfection for so many years, Ao Kaifu's combat experience must be very good, but Gu Mo avoided Ao Kaifu's attack so easily.

Is it a coincidence?

At this moment, this thought came to everyone's mind.

"It must be a coincidence!"

Ao Kaifu took a deep breath and prepared to launch another attack, but at this time, Gu Mo unleashed a small flame wave, which rushed over with a scorching breath.

"Something's wrong!"

As the fire wave approached, Ao Kaifu suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the fire wave. Normally speaking, the spells cast by a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining would not pose any threat to a cultivator in the great perfection of Qi Refining, but Ao Kaifu felt threatened from the approaching fire wave.

The spiritual power in Gu Mo's body is the same level of misty spiritual power as that of Ao Kaifu, who has reached the great perfection of Qi training. Therefore, Gu Mo's attack can be completely regarded as the attack of a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi training.

That's right, Gu Mo's current attack power has completely reached the level of a true Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator, because when Gu Mo entered the late stage of Qi Refining, his original nine times that of his peers skyrocketed again, reaching as much as 12 times.

Twelve times the foundation of the same level, plus the mist-like spiritual power, are enough to allow Gu Mo, who is at the seventh level of Qi Refining, to possess the true combat power of the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Moreover, this was not just an ordinary great perfection of Qi Refining. With Gu Mo's spiritual awareness that surpassed the Qi Refining realm, Gu Mo compressed and hid the power of the small flame wave he released. What was revealed to the outside was only the power of the magic released by a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining. However, within this wave of fire, a killing move was hidden.

"Boom!"

When Ao Kaifu realized that there was something wrong with the fire wave, he had already missed the best opportunity to dodge and could only choose to take it head-on.

In an instant, the small flame wave that originally looked very ordinary exploded with a power that stunned everyone present.

"Did you see what tricks this little guy used?" Gao Yunrui said to the elders around him at the top of the mountain.

When Gu Mo released this small flame wave, he discovered the secret. However, Gao Yunrui couldn't figure out how Gu Mo, with his cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, could push the power of this spiritual farming spell to such a high level.

In response to Gao Yunrui's question, several elders present shook their heads.

The reason these Jindan cultivators couldn't see it was not because their vision was bad, but because they had fallen into a misunderstanding. They all thought that Gu Mo could release such a powerful small flame wave, and he must have used some secret technique or magic weapon.

He never thought that this might be Gu Mo's own strength. After all, a person at the sixth level of Qi Refining could never do this.

Gu Mo's mastery of the breath-concealing technique and multiple layers of concealment made the elders of the sect believe that Gu Mo's real level of cultivation was the sixth level of Qi Refining. They did not think any deeper and gave up the correct answer. Naturally, those elders could not see through Gu Mo's methods.

While Gao Yunrui was talking to several elders, the battle in the square below also came to an end.

"I, I!!!" Ao Kaifu looked at the sharp sword on his neck, his face full of confusion. He, a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, was actually defeated by a cultivator who was only at the Qi Refining stage...

Ao Kaifu glanced at Gu Mo. He no longer knew what level of cultivation this young man in front of him had.

But the only thing that was certain was that he lost this competition and lost the chance to change his fate. The thought that he would turn into a pile of earth in a dozen years made Ao Kaifu feel unwilling and murderous.

"I lost!"

Fortunately, the pain from his neck made Ao Kaifu regain his sanity instantly. If he had done anything irrational, the sword energy would have cut off his head in an instant. He could clearly feel that the power of this sword energy was stronger than the fire wave just now.

"Concession!"

Seeing the other party admit defeat, Gu Mo put away his sword energy and saluted.

The first battle of the outer sect competition ended in confusion and shock to everyone. Of course, there were some people who seemed to take it for granted. They were Yuan Niya and Chu Feifei, who naturally came to watch the game as well.

The two people who knew Gu Mo's true fighting power were not surprised at all that he won, even though Gu Mo was still holding back.

If Gu Mo really exerts his strength, even the Foundation Establishment cultivators will not be able to withstand it, let alone the Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivators.

"what happened?"

He Shaogang, who originally wanted to laugh at Gu Mo, no longer had any mood to do so. The strength displayed by Gu Mo had exceeded his expectations.

In this case, He Shaogang can only take action in advance, before Gu Mo officially becomes an inner disciple.

"Outer sect competition, first match, Gu Mo wins!"

Although he had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, He Shaogang still presided over the competition in an orderly manner.

"Now let's start the second round..."

"Please wait!"

Just as He Shao was about to announce the second competition, Ye Yuqi quickly came to the training ground and shouted.

"what happened?"

The people who had just recovered from the shock of Gu Mo's victory over the cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in the first match, saw the third true disciple Ye Yuqi show up and interrupt the outer sect competition. They all looked puzzled. What was going on?
"Junior Brother Ye, this is an outer sect competition, please don't make trouble." He Shaogang said seriously.

"Disciple Ye Yuqi has important matters to report to the sect master and the elders!" Feeling He Shaogang's gaze, Ye Yuqi took a deep breath and bowed towards the top of the peak.

"What's the matter?"

Gao Yunrui appeared in the square. If an ordinary disciple said he had something to report, Gao Yunrui would simply ignore him and at most let a deacon handle it.

But Ye Yuqi is the true disciple, and if it is the true disciple, the sect leader cannot ignore it.

"Master, I have discovered a group of evil cultivators in the sect!" Ye Yuqi took a deep breath and said the words he had already practiced many times.

"really!"

Gao Yunrui stared at Ye Yuqi and confirmed.

This time, the disciples who participated in the true teaching trial were ambushed. Gao Yunrui suspected that there was a spy in the sect. He also secretly investigated the elders and deacons in the sect, but to no avail.

Now Ye Yuqi said that he found a group of evil cultivators in the sect. It is almost certain that these evil cultivators must be related to this ambush incident.

"Absolutely true!"

Feeling the breath of the Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator, Ye Yuqi swallowed and said.

"Where is the man?"

Gao Yunrui asked, and at the same time he blamed Ye Yuqi for not saying such an important thing quietly. Why didn't he say it in public now and let the hidden evil cultivators know about it? What if they escaped?

"They have all been captured by the disciples." Ye Yuqi bowed.

"?"

Ye Yuqi's words startled Gao Yunrui and several elders. Upon hearing that there was an evil cultivator in the sect, several peak masters who were originally on the top of the peak also appeared, ready to cooperate with the sect master to capture the evil cultivator hiding in the sect, even if it meant a big battle.

But Ye Yuqi said that the person had been captured. Judging from Ye Yuqi's strength, it shows that the strength of this group of evil cultivators is not very strong.

"Bring the people up!"

While Gao Yunrui and several elders were stunned, Ye Yuqi waved his hand, and immediately, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall and several miscellaneous disciples came to the square.

Gao Yunrui captured a errand disciple and quickly confirmed the other party's identity through the investigation of his spiritual sense. He turned out to be an evil cultivator.

What can a few evil cultivators at the level of menial disciples accomplish? There must be some behind-the-scenes behind this.

"Master, I have only captured these few so far. There must be more evil cultivators hiding in the sect. According to my investigation, these evil cultivators are basically menial disciples, and the evil methods mainly rely on rapid improvement in cultivation. Therefore, as long as we investigate the menial disciples whose cultivation increases are too abnormal, we will be able to catch all the evil cultivators." Ye Yuqi told the intelligence he had obtained one by one.

After Ye Yuqi said this, everyone who was shocked by the sudden news came to their senses and began to guess who the hidden evil cultivator might be.

Soon, Gu Mo's name was faintly heard among the crowd.

If we talk about the best performing menial disciple in recent years, it must be Gu Mo. He went from being an ordinary menial disciple to an outer disciple, and now he has defeated a cultivator who has reached the great perfection of Qi Refining and is about to become an inner disciple. It only took him a few short years to go from a menial disciple to an inner disciple.

With such an incredible growth rate, it is hard not to wonder if this person is practicing some evil method.

When he heard his name in the crowd, Gu Mo was shocked. He knew that He Shaogang wanted to get rid of him, but Gu Mo didn't know how the other party would do it. Now Gu Mo knew.

Although it was Ye Yuqi who took action this time, Gu Mo knew that it was definitely related to He Shaogang, or Ye Yuqi was a member of He Shaogang's gang, otherwise, these menial disciples who practiced evil methods would not be so easy to find.

After the shock, Gu Mo's heart immediately calmed down, because this was a plan that was destined to fail. After all, Gu Mo had never practiced any evil methods, so no matter how the other party threw dirty water on him, it would be useless.

"It's done!"

When Gu Mo's name was heard in the crowd, He Shaogang knew that the plan had been successful. In order to trick Gu Mo, He Shaogang discarded all the chess pieces he had developed over the years.

Although it was heartbreaking to see his years of hard work destroyed, He Shaogang felt that it was all worth it when he thought that he could get rid of Gu Mo. He wanted to see how Gu Mo would respond when his identity as an evil cultivator was exposed. It would be best if he was slapped to death by the sect master, so that everything would be over.
