Chapter 1287 Unsolvable Problem
It was just as Gu Xia expected.
The next second, Mu Qingzhou spoke softly.
"Qu Yimian still wanted to seize your body, but she was stopped by her disciples at the risk of their lives. The current situation is that the demon clan has temporarily retreated due to the loss of the Demon Lord. She has taken control of the entire demon clan. Not only that, she has also summoned a group of new demons from the dangerous areas of the demon world. There are several in the Nascent Soul stage alone, and they are attacking innocent cultivators everywhere."
He raised his eyes and said, "Before I left, I received news that Qu Yimian wanted to use this to force Taiyi Sect to hand over your body."
"If they don't hand it over, many cultivators will probably die this time. Such a huge cause and effect will definitely drag the five sects into it."
After all, if so many cultivators died because of this, some people in the outside world would definitely blame Taiyi Sect.
Although most people with good judgment would not think this way, there is no guarantee that there won’t be some idiots stirring up trouble.
"..."
"Wow." After listening to this, Gu Xia sighed from the bottom of his heart, "It can be seen that she really hates me."
Qu Yimian had obviously given up completely. Her plan had been ruined by herself, and she was probably on the verge of going berserk.
Mu Qingzhou nodded in agreement, "That's right, after all, such crazy practices are rare."
He knew Qu Yimian a little bit, so he naturally knew that at this point, her true intentions had been completely exposed.
Thinking of this name, the young man lowered his eyelids to hide the mockery that flashed in his eyes.
Gu Xia had to admit that what he said made sense, because now all the focus was on her.
Pay, or don’t pay.
This is a tough choice.
Based on Gu Xia's understanding of the Five Sects, those direct disciples would definitely not agree.
Don't ask, just ask to be confident.
Although they hurt each other normally, when it comes to a life-and-death moment, they are of course of one mind.
Regardless of the relationship between the five sects, it is worth affirming.
Every disciple was taught very well by them.
Of course, except for that bad apple Qu Yimian.
When faced with major issues of right and wrong, the various clans are natural allies and will not abandon any of their fellow disciples easily.
That's why the situation is really bad.
Qu Yimian has now become a member of the demon clan, so she naturally doesn't care about the life and death of those ordinary cultivators. It can even be said that she did this just to force Taiyi Sect to surrender.
This is the essential difference between good and evil.
The demons don't care about the life and death of cultivators, but for the cultivation world, they can't just watch the demons massacre.
Qu Yimian had been in Qingyun Sect for quite some time, so she was certainly familiar with the five sects' code of conduct. By doing this, she was also strangling the lifeblood of Taiyi Sect.
Should we save Gu Xia and abandon the rest of the world, or save the rest of the world and abandon one person?
After individuals and all living beings are placed on the same scale.
It has become an unsolvable problem.
Gu Xia trusted his fellow brothers and elders, but he also didn't want to see the sect being forced into such a dilemma.
She clicked her tongue impatiently. "Instead of solving the problem, it's better to eliminate the person who created the problem first."
There was already a strong murderous intent in his words.
Mu Qingzhou suddenly realized, "This idea is correct."
The Demon Lord is gone, and Qu Yimian now controls the demon clan. As long as she is eliminated, the remaining demons will be powerless.
but--
This person is not so easy to kill.
He knows this better than anyone else.
"Let's go back to the sect first."
Since her physical body was still there, she could save some unnecessary time. However, even if her body was not blown into pieces, her Dantian meridians would probably have been almost destroyed.
Therefore, the existence of Phoenix Essence Blood is very necessary.
Since Gu Xia has no intention of taking over another body, it would be very disadvantageous for her if her soul wandered outside for too long. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place.
Taiyi Sect is now the main target of the demons, but no matter what, as long as you are careful enough, you can avoid some unnecessary trouble in her territory.
Besides, now all the disciples and elders in the sect are probably focusing their attention on the demon clan. This way, it will be much easier for her to find her body.
After all, you can't carry her physical body with you during a group fight, right?
No need, really no need.
Just find a place for her to put it.
Gu Xia will come back to life on her own.
Mu Qingzhou came from Taiyi Sect. He knew best about what happened after her self-explosion. After a brief discussion, the two of them planned to slip back first.
The war situation is chaotic now, and the news that Gu Xia is not dead can not be leaked out at all. Otherwise, once Qu Yimian finds out, it will definitely be a fight to the death.
She thought about it and decided that it would be better to keep it a secret for now.
After all, it's a mixture of great sorrow and great joy. It would be bad if others couldn't bear it and got distracted.
Mu Qingzhou thought so too.
When too many people know something, it can no longer be called a secret.
Besides, the matter was serious and he had other things to do.
The two quickly reached a confidentiality agreement and headed straight towards Taiyi Sect.
*
The thunderclouds that had been covering the sky above Taiyi Sect had long since dissipated, and even the other half of the blood moon had disappeared. After the two distinct visions had completely retreated, only a mess remained.
Shen Weixun finally got out of the thunder tribulation. At the same time, Li Tingyun also coldly stomped on the formation to pieces. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a piece of news came to them and shocked them to their core.
"What did you say?"
Li Tingyun only vaguely heard a sentence, but his hands were faster than his brain, and he grabbed the inner doorman who had just spoken and asked, "Who were you talking about dead just now?"
The inner disciple was startled, but only recovered after seeing that it was the familiar disciple. His eyes were still red, and he sniffed, "It's...it's Senior Sister Gu Xia."
"She blew herself up."
After he finished speaking, the several disciples who were with him could not hold back any longer, and low sobs echoed one after another in this world.
This news was like a sudden bomb, which shocked Li Tingyun so much that his mind exploded.
Shen Weixun and Xu Xingmu also stood there in a daze, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
The three of them had just come out of the forbidden area in tatters, and the two big demons left behind were indeed difficult to deal with. It was not until Shen Weixun took advantage of the sudden surge of spiritual power after the breakthrough that he found an opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
At the same time as the opponent slashed his arm, the long sword pierced through the heart of one of them.
He didn't die, but his heart meridians were shattered by the sword energy.
After the last thunderbolt dissipated, the old man wanted to continue, but he suddenly seemed to have received some order and fled with his injured companion.
Li Tingyun took the opportunity to break the Soul Devouring Formation. The moment the formation was broken, the blood moon in the sky shook, as if its energy supply was cut off. After a moment, it turned into blood-red light and dissipated in the air.
The strange vision disappeared, which should have been a good thing.
As a result, as soon as the three of them came out, they found that the sect protection formation was broken. They hurried to the mountain gate, but before they could ask a question, they heard several injured inner disciples say that Gu Xia was dead.
"Who died?"
Xu Xingmu asked again, as if he couldn't hear her, his voice trembling slightly.
He felt that he must have been beaten stupid by the old man just now, which was why he was hallucinating.
Otherwise, how could he hear that his junior sister had died?
"what?"
After more than ten seconds, Li Tingyun finally spoke. He grabbed the man's collar with the back of his hand and exerted force, his tone revealing a sense of absurdity. "How could Gu Xia die? Are you kidding me?"
The inner sect disciple whose neck he had strangled looked grief-stricken. "It's true. Many people have seen it. It's impossible for a cultivator who self-destructs to survive."
"..."
Li Tingyun saw that his expression did not seem fake, so he loosened his fingers and looked like a fool. The corners of his lips moved but he could not speak.
Not to mention him, Xu Xingmu is not much better.
The young man seemed to have just digested the news when the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
"I don't believe it." He murmured, repeating stubbornly, "I don't believe it."
How could Gu Xia die?
This is ridiculous.
Xu Xingmu turned around abruptly, forgetting even to pick up his own sword, and quickly headed towards the battlefield outside the mountain gate.
He had to see it to believe it.
The other two followed immediately.
Shen Weixun picked up the Star Blue Sword on the ground. The sword spirit floated out at some point. Perhaps it sensed the sword master's emotions and remained silent.
Before he got close enough, Xing Lan heard the sharp sound of a sword from a distance.
The heart-pounding grief was indescribable, and the Immaculate Sword also took shape.
The two sword spirits looked at each other.
It was not an illusion, they heard the cries of other sword spirits.
This situation could only happen if the Sword Master died.
The battlefield was littered with corpses and body parts, which showed how fierce the fighting outside was during the time they were away.
However, none of the three of them were in the mood to pay attention to these things.
Ripples appeared on the boy's clothes, which passed by and fell in the wind, and he ran eagerly towards the core area.
Before they got close, they saw the falling snow.
Then he actually saw the person who was held in Ye Sui'an's arms, silent and as if completely dead.
That's Gu Xia.
Xu Xingmu was stunned.
His steps were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and he didn't even notice the attack coming towards him.
Shen Weixun's expression went blank for a moment, as if all the nerves in his brain were broken. He barely remembered his duty as a senior brother, and with a wave of his sword, he killed the sneak attacking demon cultivator.
When Ye Sui'an saw them, he called out softly.
"Senior brother..."
