On the Douqi Continent, time has always passed quietly.
It has been almost six years since the ancient Bodhi tree was born.
If it were normal, six years would not be a big deal, but at this moment, the forces on the Douqi Continent have undergone some earth-shaking changes.
Half a year after the ancient tribe's coming-of-age ceremony, the spirit tribe, which became one of the eight ancient tribes, closed its space. Three years ago, the space was opened again, but it was silent. The huge number of spirit tribe members disappeared without leaving any trace, as if they had never existed in this world.
In this seemingly short period of time, it was actually quite turbulent, but the news that came one after another broke the previous calm.
The emergence of the ancient race is bound to be unconcealed. Originally, many people thought that this was a compiled thing, but on the way there, looking at the empty space without any people, those strong people who went to explore were stunned, and a chill surged from their hearts.
This matter was extremely strange no matter how you looked at it. In the spiritual world, just like the bone ring that Xiaoyao had seen before, there were also ordinary people. This meant that there were at least a population of millions. However, so many people just disappeared out of thin air without attracting the attention of other forces.
If it was the Tu Clan, looking at the entire Zhongzhou, even a force like the Gu Clan would find it difficult to completely wipe out such a powerful race without anyone noticing.
Of course, in addition to the theory that the tribe was massacred, there are still people who hold on to the hope that the whole tribe may have moved to another self-created space. However, once this idea was spread, it was quickly overturned. This large-scale migration could not be hidden from the top masters in Zhongzhou. Even they did not feel the movement. How could such a large number of millions of people be quietly taken away?
As a result, the more the forces thought about it, the more they felt a chill in their hearts. It seemed that some unexpected situation had occurred on the continent, and this situation made them feel more threatened.
While the outside world was speculating wildly, huge disagreements had arisen among the ancient races because of this incident. These ancient races knew each other relatively well, but they were not allies. They could only be said to be half-enemy and half-friend. After all, these races had attacked each other when they were strong, so they were not united as one.
Outsiders were confused by this matter, but they had their own guesses. A long time ago, a war broke out among the eight ancient tribes, and the cause of the war was the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade!
It is said that the remains of the last Dou Di powerful person contain the secret of reaching the Dou Di. For this secret, the eight ancient tribes fought each other and finally divided the complete Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade into eight pieces. In other words, whoever wants to get what Tuoshe Ancient Emperor left behind must gather eight pieces of ancient jade. All tribes regard ancient jade as more important than life, so it is naturally impossible for them to hand it over for no reason. Therefore, some people speculate that the disappearance of the spirit race this time may be caused by someone from the ancient race, and their purpose is to get the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the hands of the spirit race!
But after this speculation was put forward, it aroused some doubts. Although the spirit race was in decline, its foundation was still there. If one wanted to exterminate their entire race without anyone noticing, among the remaining six races, perhaps only two of them could barely do it.
Those are the Ancient Clan, and the Soul Clan!
The ancient race is apparently the strongest race among the six ancient races. No one doubts their strength.
The Soul Clan, to be honest, is probably the oldest of the eight ancient clans. This clan existed in ancient times. This clan has always been mysterious and strange. Even other clans don’t know how strong they are. Although the Soul Clan was not the strongest in the previous wars, careful people can find that no matter what, the Soul Clan has never been at a disadvantage.
In a certain sense, being without victory or defeat is actually a very scary level. Therefore, even the ancient tribes are quite wary of this mysterious ancient race.
These two ancient races almost represent the most powerful force level in the Dou Qi Continent today. If they want to unknowingly massacre the entire Spirit Race, except for these two races, I am afraid that no force can do it!
Therefore, the biggest suspects in this incident of the Spirit Clan are undoubtedly the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan. Although the other four clans do not have absolute evidence to point out who the murderer is, it is obvious that after what happened to the Spirit Clan, they will be utmost vigilant against the Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan. If the other party is really coming for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, then they will definitely not stop, and they who possess the other four ancient jades will become the next target!
As for this suspicion that came out of nowhere, the Gu clan seemed quite depressed, but they also knew the seriousness of the matter. At this time, any action might lead to some unnecessary speculation, so they could only remain silent. Moreover, the head of the Gu clan is Gu Xun'er. With her current temperament, she doesn't need to pay much attention to these rumors in Zhongzhou as long as it doesn't bother her.
At the same time, the Soul Clan also followed their usual style. They turned a blind eye and continued to do what they were supposed to do. Anyway, the Soul Clan did not need any allies, so they did not care what others thought.
Therefore, with both sides keeping silent, the matter of the change in the spirit race was gradually suppressed, and the six ancient tribes did not start a war because of this matter. As time passed, this matter seemed to be forgotten by everyone, but only they knew that now the six ancient tribes had once again developed a gap between each other, and were wary and cautious of each other.
The affairs of the Elven race caused quite a stir in Zhongzhou, but these ancient races were usually very low-key, so after lasting for about half a year, this kind of stir gradually faded away. In Zhongzhou, there were wonderful births every day, and there were countless topics of conversation. Even such a big event as the disappearance of the Elven race could not continue forever.
But if that was all, Gu Xun'er wouldn't have paid too much attention to it. But before the storm was over, another storm arose.
What shocked everyone again was that originally Hua Sect and Tianming Sect were both the two sects in Zhongzhou, but suddenly in the morning there was news that the sect had been remodeled and even its name was changed to Yaotian Sect. This news quickly attracted everyone's attention and they sent spies to the sect.
However, this action made everyone wonder whether the previous disappearance of the spirit race was related to it. However, after some investigation, they found that the new leader of the Yaotian Sect was an extremely beautiful woman. Although she was powerful, she seemed unable to wipe out the spirit race. Instead, she was given a warning. All the secret reports who went to investigate the situation died outside the sect.
If it was a situation like this in any other situation, the sect would naturally not swallow this bitter pill, but Medusa's strength surpassed that of the other heroes, and they were only at the Dou Zun level, so they would naturally not go forward to die in vain, and they had to send away all kinds of treasures to beg for forgiveness.
Moreover, there is not only Medusa in the Yaotian Sect, but also Xiao Yixian and several others who mysteriously appeared in the sect and began to supply high-level elixirs to the outside world.
You have to know that this was originally what Xingyun Pavilion did. Logically speaking, since the two parties were competing for the market, they should have fought each other. Xingyun Pavilion also had powerful Dou Shengs, so naturally they did not need to fear Yaotian Sect like them. However, what was beyond their expectations was that the two parties actually divided the market peacefully, which surprised them a little.
Just as Cao Ying said before, if a sect has the help of high-level alchemists, it will naturally develop very quickly. When he left Xingyun Pavilion, Cao Ying was already an eighth-grade alchemist. It can be said that he contributed a lot to the development of Yaotian Sect.
During this period, Medusa also released the news of the Bodhi Pill in her hand, attracting several powerful warriors at the peak of the Dou Zun level to join. These people were basically powerful warriors who were about to die and had to give it a try. After signing a contract that they thought was foolproof, they all joined the Yaotian Sect.
However, the effect of the breakthrough was not 100%. In the end, only three powerful warriors at the peak of the Dou Zun level broke through to the Dou Sheng realm, and this was with the help of Medusa. As for the rest of them, they survived and were not affected by the backlash of the breakthrough. They became elders in the Yaotian Sect.
Originally, all this was not enough to alarm Gu Xun'er, but the emergence of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire stirred up the changes in the situation, although the one who finally succeeded was Xiao Yan, the young master of Xingyun Pavilion.
But no matter who it was, they could all see the terrifying red phantom coming from Zhongzhou that day. Gu Xun'er was naturally familiar with this blood shadow. She had fought with Medusa for a while before, so she naturally knew who the owner of this phantom was. You know, even she felt threatened by that kind of pressure.
Immediately, a sense of urgency arose in her heart. She did not expect that even Medusa had grown up in a place she had not noticed. But since that day, no matter how she inquired, she still could not find Medusa's whereabouts. This information was not delivered to her until Medusa came out of seclusion not long ago, which was also the reason for her anger.
"The leader of the Demon Heaven Sect, Medusa; the number one alchemist in Zhongzhou, Cao Ying; the Saint of Phantom Poison, Xiao Yixian"
As she slowly recited the names of several people, Gu Xun'er's eyes became increasingly cold. After not seeing them for a few years, it seemed that she was not the only one who was growing. Unexpectedly, even the other women were secretly developing their own forces. She never expected that several of them had gathered in the Yaotian Sect.
She had been working hard to find someone for the past few years, but she didn't expect that he was right under her nose and was developing his strength openly. This was really a shame for her.
For a moment, Gu Xun'er exuded a deep, dignified and powerful aura, causing cold sweat to flow from the foreheads of the people present. Except for the elders present, basically no one could resist the pressure emanating from Gu Xun'er. It was like the Nine Nether Hell, making them shudder.
Gu Xun'er pondered secretly in her heart, her eyes slightly narrowed. It must be said that Medusa is indeed a little successful now. The leader of the three stars of the Fighting Saint, an alchemist at the peak of the eighth rank, and a Fighting Saint who can control his doom poison body. These three people combined are indeed a force to be reckoned with. This is also a wake-up call to her.
If he leaves them alone, it won't be long before these three people, with their potential, will pose a considerable threat to him in the future.
However, Gu Xun'er did not know that behind the Yaotian Sect, Qing Lin also did not dare to slack off. He was like a giant python lurking in the darkness, and would deliver a vicious and heavy blow as long as he found the opportunity.
Fortunately, she has now discovered it and can make arrangements in advance. The purpose of these people is very clear, and she is very clear that they are probably here for Xiao Miao.
But she would not surrender, not to mention that he had been preparing for so many years. Judging from Xiao Miao's current cultivation level, he would soon be close to her. By then, the two of them would be connected by life and death, and their minds would be connected. Even if she made a mistake, so what? Xiao Miao would still stand on her side. The worst that could happen was that he would take her with him to die, which was better than letting her watch him living happily with other women.
Thinking of this in her heart, Gu Xun'er, who had originally had a cold look, finally revealed a forced smile. However, looking at the people collecting intelligence in front of her, she felt annoyed again. She waved her hand and asked everyone to withdraw.
After receiving the order, everyone did not dare to stay for fear that the young master in front of them would punish them severely, so they left in a hurry.
After explaining the matters regarding the Yaotian Sect, Gu Xun'er also left in a flash. She was in a bad mood, and staying here and watching these people would only make her even more upset.
As for the many elders who stayed where they were, they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly. They also knew that their young master was probably going to that man's residence again, but they didn't stop him. One reason was that Gu Xun'er had become more and more indifferent in recent years. What's more, Qi's cultivation had not only not fallen behind, but improved rapidly, and had reached the level of a five-star Dou Sheng. And looking at the aura emanating from him, maybe he would be promoted to six stars soon.
It is actually their great fortune to have such a young master. Now they are beginning to admire Gu Yuan's previous vision.
"What's wrong? You look upset?"
After explaining everything, Gu Xun'er returned to the small room she and Xiao Miao lived in. She looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. Even though she had a smile on her face, the two of them had been together for so many years. Xiao Miao could naturally feel that Gu Xun'er seemed to be in a bad mood. Since he had been accompanying her here, he rarely saw this look on her face.
Chapter 274 Contract Failure, Departure Plan
Seeing the gentle and caring look on the man in front of her, Gu Xun'er felt a little better. At least, the man was still with her.
"It's okay. In recent years, the situation in Zhongzhou has changed a bit, and it's a little tricky."
Hearing Gu Xun'er's words, Xiao Miao couldn't help but show some surprise. He had been practicing in the Gu Clan for these years and knew nothing about the turbulent situation in the outside world. However, since this strong woman in front of him felt a little tricky, it seemed that something unusual had happened.
Looking at Xiao Miao in front of her, Gu Xun'er's eyes were filled with constant burning heat. Her current cultivation level was close to the peak of a five-star Dou Sheng, and she was only one step away from breaking through to six stars. However, she had been suppressing her cultivation level recently, for the sake of the back-up plan she had been preparing in recent years.
As early as three years ago, the ancient emperor's inheritance in her body was absorbed by him one by one, and even the ancient Bodhi body was only one step away from reaching the great perfection. However, in the last two light balls left in the Bodhi Valley, in addition to the source energy needed for the breakthrough of the Dou Emperor, the other light ball contained an extremely terrifying essence energy. Even Gu Yuan was frightened by this energy. According to Gu Yuan's speculation, it might be the last inheritance energy left by the ancient Bodhi emperor himself, left behind to give Gu Xun'er the means to break through to the late stage, and it could also greatly speed up Gu Xun'er's breakthrough.
Therefore, over the years, the ancient ape has been urging Gu Xun'er to absorb this terrifying energy directly. Maybe he can break through to the peak of the Fighting Saint in one fell swoop. Even if not, even the eighth or ninth star of the Fighting Saint is also good, which can reduce Gu Xun'er's growth rate as soon as possible.
But he was rejected by Gu Xun'er. No matter how he tried to dissuade her, she did not waver in the slightest. Gu Xun'er had spent a long time and effort to prepare for this method, and naturally would not give up just before success.
Although Xiao Miao has just broken through to the level of a five-star Douluo on the surface, he has secretly reached the level of a seven-star Douluo. The tremendous energy that was stored at the beginning does not seem that huge to him now. Xiao Miao estimates that even if he completely absorbs it, it will only be enough for him to improve his cultivation by one star.
Now his escape plan can be put on the agenda. Although he doesn't know why Gu Xun'er wants to give him a steady supply of cultivation resources, he knows that the woman in front of him is definitely not as unprepared as she seems. Just in case, it is absolutely necessary to hide her cultivation level.
With his current strength, even if he faces Gu Yuan, the strongest man on the continent, he can leave even if he is defeated. However, he still has to find an opportunity. It would be best to leave when the Gu clan does not notice him. Otherwise, facing the obstruction of many strong men, there is still a possibility of mistakes.
But in his current situation, he only has one chance. If he makes a mistake, it will take an unknown amount of time to find the next possibility. After Gu Xun'er finds out that he wants to escape, she will definitely not give him the next chance. By then, she will even try to turn him into a harmless person. She may even go crazy and disregard his safety, and it is possible that she will turn him into a disabled person.
"Xiao Miao, come with me to a place tomorrow. I have something to ask you."
Gu Xun'er drank the tea in her hand, looked at the man in front of her, and said softly that now that their cultivation levels were close, they had come to this final step, and she didn't want to drag it on any longer.
Hearing this, Xiao Miao didn't think much about it and just nodded. Anyway, even if he disagreed, Gu Xun'er wouldn't listen.
The next day
"This is where?"
Xiao Miao followed behind Gu Xun'er and looked at the surrounding environment. He couldn't help but frowned and asked in surprise. He had been heading outside this morning and now he was even taken out of the ancient world. This move made him a little confused.
Listening to the curious questions from the people around her, Gu Xun'er just smiled. This action made Xiao Miao next to her even more curious, but he didn't say anything and could only follow behind quietly.
At this time, the two of them had arrived at a desert. Looking at some strange and flickering formations around them, Gu Xun'er's body trembled slightly, and she even couldn't help but smile.
Looking at Gu Xun'er's slightly trembling back in front of him, Xiao Miao felt depressed. He had been staying in Guzhu for the past few years, and Gu Xun'er's mental state seemed to have improved in his opinion. Why did she become like this in the past two days? Could it be that she discovered his plan?
That's impossible. He didn't even take any action. He was just simulating in his mind. How could he discover his escape plan?
At this moment, Gu Xun'er suddenly turned around with a strange smile on her face, and her voice was soft but with a slightly trembling ending.
"Xiao Miao, this way"
Looking at the appearance of the woman in front of him, even though his current cultivation level was secretly higher than Gu Xun'er, he couldn't help but feel a little scared. However, without too much hesitation, he continued to move forward after the sacrifice. At the same time, he glanced at the constantly flashing formations around him.
In his perception, these formations did not have any offensive power, but strangely, they also had no defensive power, and felt like they were just decorations.
The two of them walked slowly to the center of the formation in front of them, only to see Gu Xun'er facing it. Her hand flashed in the air, and she took out a blood-red rope as long as her index finger from her storage ring.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Miao hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but speak. The scene in front of him was so strange that it was hard for him not to become suspicious.
"what is this?"
Gu Xun'er looked at the man in front of her showing his power and this time she did not hide anything. When the two of them stepped into the formation, there was no turning back. There were only two possible results: success or failure. However, she had been preparing for so many years and naturally would not allow failure.
“This is the chain cord.”
Gu Xun'er spoke with a hint of excitement in her tone, looking at the blood-red rope in the hands of the two men with burning eyes. Now they only had this last step left.
At this time, the lines of text in the void kept flashing, as if outlining something unknown. At the same time, the blood-red ropes in the hands of the two people slowly floated into the air.
Looking at the two ropes constantly intertwined in the air, the two of them stayed where they were, without making any rash moves. Gu Xun'er also put down her cautious gaze at this time, and turned her gaze from the air to Xiao Miao in front of her, looking at the face in front of her that only existed in absurd fantasy.
As time slowly passed, Xiao Miao estimated that about an incense stick of time had passed, and the two ropes that were constantly connected in the air had completely stopped intertwining.
Gu Xun'er looked at this scene and continued to speak in a guiding manner.
"Xiao Miao, this is a Qiyuan formation, don't resist."
As if he felt an inexplicable guidance in his body, Xiao Miao looked at the person in front of him and pretended to follow him.
At this time, the fighting energy in the two people's bodies slowly seeped out, and then gradually intertwined together, moving towards the two chain ropes that had already been intertwined in the air.
Looking at the ceremony that was about to be completed in front of him, Gu Xun'er felt his mouth dry. No matter how calm he was on weekdays, he couldn't help feeling nervous when he was about to complete his goal.
"Okay, hahahaha. Xiao Miao, from now on you can only stay by my side."
Looking at the ceremony in front of him that was constantly interweaving and completing the final step, at the same time, the fighting spirit in his body was also constantly being drawn. Although the amount of this drawing was not very large, it was enough to prove that the process was going smoothly at the moment.
At this moment, Xiao Miao looked at the person in front of him with a complicated expression, and then sighed helplessly.
However, when Gu Xun'er saw this scene, she thought Xiao Miao was lamenting, and she couldn't help but comfort him. However, before she finished her words, a slight energy exploded in her body.
Feeling the fighting spirit in her body turbulent, Gu Xun'er couldn't help but spit out trickles of blood. At the same time, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face. How could it be possible that the connection ceremony had failed.
