Chapter 166: Solving Doubts
Could it be that the strange beast in front of him was related to the two evil cultivators who had stirred up such a storm? If so, he would have to act with caution.
There has been no news since the two escaped from the Order to Execute Evil. The Saint Sect suffered such a great loss. If they were caught, they would definitely publicize it and save their lost face. In other words, the two are still at large.
Different from other top three rank masters, Gu Zun has always been cautious in his behavior since he started practicing. His creed is to never easily provoke a powerful being that can pose even the slightest threat to him, so as to avoid disaster.
It is precisely because of this that he was able to step by step from the lower third rank to his current position.
Even after becoming a top-three expert, he still maintained this cautious style.
After all, the path of Gu Dao is a minor path, not an orthodox path of cultivation, and most of the strength lies in the various types of Gu insects that are domesticated for different functions. To warriors who don't know much about him, he may be more difficult and more terrifying than ordinary masters of the same realm.
But for those powerful sects with deep foundation and heritage, Gu cultivators are not taken seriously.
They have detailed records of the situation of Gu cultivators internally. Once the mystery of Gu cultivators disappears, they will be easily targeted and suppressed, and their threat will be greatly reduced.
So with his strength, he could have become the overlord of a county city like the old ghost of the Situ family. But he still chose to be alone, neither pursuing fame and fortune nor establishing a family or sect as a legacy.
What he pursues is the freedom without any constraints, so that he can get out of trouble at any time without any regrets.
So far, his only daughter is his weak spot and he dotes on her a lot.
Now his daughter was dragged into the illusion by the phantom insects. With her only seventh-grade realm, facing the famous forbidden alien insects, she was very likely to be in danger. He did not dare to delay any longer and had to find a quiet place as soon as possible to help her get rid of the illusion.
"You guys are great! This matter ends here." On the one hand, Gu Zun was worried that something might happen to his daughter, and on the other hand, he was wary of the person behind Xiao Hei. So he just said this and hurriedly left with his daughter.
Not only did the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Holy Sect suffer a crushing defeat at the hands of those two evil cultivators, but the other party was even able to use the phantom insects for their own benefit. Facing such terrifying characters, most of his strength was completely restrained. Once they became enemies, he would surely suffer a devastating disaster.
Seeing Gu Zun hurriedly leaving with his daughter who was under the spell, the crisis was resolved and Xu Feng was also stunned.
But no matter what, we are safe now.
The enemy retreated, so Xiao Hei naturally didn't need to continue to fight. His body shrank, and he quickly returned to his previous obedient appearance. The hostility in his body also dissipated, and he returned to Xu Feng's side affectionately again.
Xu Feng squatted down and touched its head, his face full of joy. After a long separation, the man and the beast played for a long time before stopping with a sense of satisfaction.
"Come on, Xiao Hei, follow me back to the county town."
……
Xu Feng and Xiao Hei had just walked a few steps through the city gate when they suddenly stopped. Not far away, a beautiful figure stared at him with tears in her eyes, her excitement hard to contain.
Xu Feng slowly walked to her side with Xiao Hei.
"Brother Xu, I know. I knew you would come back safe and sound." The woman's voice was filled with infinite joy.
Xu Feng reached out his hand and gently and softly wiped away the tears from Shen Yunshuang's face.
It feels really good to be cared for and missed by others.
He smiled faintly, held her hand, and said, "It's okay, everything is over."
……
The infinite abyss,
At the deepest part of the abyss, there is an entrance to a mysterious secret realm.
This is a forbidden area that only the Soul Thief Lord and a few of his trusted aides can set foot in.
The Soul Thief Lord stood proudly, his figure like a peerless sword.
Beside him are his right-hand men and his absolute confidants in the church.
"These two have been in the secret realm for more than half a year. It seems that this oldest and largest secret realm has indeed benefited them a lot." The confidant sighed.
"When our ancestors accidentally discovered this secret place thousands of years ago, they realized that it was different from the others. They thought that God was blessing our holy religion and that it would flourish.
It's a pity that over the years, no one in my holy sect can perfectly control the awakened ancient cultivation ability, so this secret realm can only sleep here. It's really shameful. If my descendants were more motivated, why would we give up this great benefit to others? "The Lord of Soul Thieves sighed, revealing a trace of unwillingness.
"Master, there is one thing I am still unclear about."
"Say!"
"It's clearly a transaction, but those two didn't reveal the slightest method of controlling the ancient cultivators' abilities. Why did you give the secret realm away so readily? What if they regret it after their strength increases greatly? Wouldn't it be all our efforts in vain?" asked the confidant.
"Although these two have mastered the abilities of ancient cultivators, you should be aware of the drawbacks. They may appear normal on the surface, but their hearts have long been invaded by evil thoughts and their murderous nature is extremely strong. They should not be treated as normal.
Besides, this ancient secret realm can only be used to its full potential if it is handed over to them. If we continue to keep it, it will only be a pearl covered in dust.
They slaughtered the disciples of the Holy Sect on a large scale, making enemies with the Holy Sect. They are destined to become mortal enemies of the nine Holy Sects in the future. Even if they regret it and refuse to tell us how to control them, the fact that they are enemies of the Holy Sect is enough for us.
In this case, why don't we just be more generous, which can actually show our sincerity."
"So that's how it is. The leader is wise." The confidant suddenly understood.
But there was still a look of worry on the face of the Soul Thief.
"Master, do you have any other concerns?"
"It's too quiet." The Soul Thief Lord said slowly.
"Ever since the last time the five major Saint Sects came together to siege the two and were defeated, the Saint Sect seems to have completely stopped its efforts and has not made any moves. This is really not in line with their style."
"Perhaps, they can't find any trace of the two?" the confidant said hesitantly.
"Don't say such nonsense. Even we can plant pawns in the Holy Gate. Even if we guard against it to the death and strictly examine every disciple, do you think there are no spies of the Holy Gate in this Wuji Mingyuan? I can guarantee that it has been less than half a month since I sent people to bring the two of them here, and the Holy Gate already knew about it." The Lord of Soul Thieves said with certainty.
“In order to deal with the attack from the Saint Sect masters, I have already made many back-up plans and trump cards in advance.
But why? Why have they not made any move so far? It's as if they have completely forgotten about it. The chess pieces planted in the Saint Gate have not heard any valuable information. "The Soul Thief Lord was uneasy. The reaction of the Saint Gate was completely beyond his expectations.
The nine holy sects were the rulers of the Burning Flame Continent. After suffering such a huge loss, according to their temperament, it was impossible for them to swallow their anger. What was the reason for them to remain silent?
