These three were the leaders of the three elite teams dispatched by Xiao Beixuan!
Upon receiving the copper bell summons, they did not rush to the plaza immediately. Instead, they searched the eastern district’s edges based on previous clues about Blood Jade’s disappearance. There, they sensed the powerful aura of Gu Sheng soaring through the sky and tracked him down!
"Kid! Was it you who destroyed the Young Master’s offering? You’ve got guts!"
The burly man, holding a giant axe, spoke with a booming voice as the axe pointed at Gu Sheng, unleashing a violent killing intent.
"Why waste words with him? Anyone who dares ruin the Venerable’s plan deserves only death!"
The ghost-faced masked man’s voice was hoarse, like metal grinding, with an icy chill.
Around him, black smoke surged, faintly echoing with ghostly cries.
The enchanting woman giggled, her voice seductive yet poisonous.
"Little brother, you seem delicate. Why not let sister pamper you well before sending you off?"
The bone flute in her hand shook gently, releasing an invisible wave that intricately affected the Divine Soul.
Gu Sheng’s form halted abruptly, hovering in mid-air.
He gazed coldly at the three blocking his path, his eyes icy.
Three Human King Realm experts! By their aura, they’re certainly not mediocre newcomers to this realm!
Especially the ghost-faced masked man, who felt the most dangerous to him.
He slowly scanned his surroundings.
Below was a bottomless valley, shrouded in black mist. The path behind him led back, but surely pursuers were rushing from there.
On the left and right were steep black cliffs, jagged rocks, nowhere to hide.
Enemies blocked the way ahead, pursuers approached from behind, cliffs and valleys surrounded him!
Gu Sheng slowly clenched his fist, his True Yuan within him surged like a dormant volcano.
His gaze like lightning fixed on the ghost-faced masked man, his voice calm with no disturbance.
"Those who block me will die."
Gu Sheng sped through the air, his eyes sharp like a hawk, scanning the Secret Realm’s land below.
He noticed the disciples of Wuya Sect, originally scattered throughout the Secret Realm for vigilance and searching, were now hastily converging towards the core area.
Even if occasionally a disciple noticed his Sky-controlling silhouette, they only cast wary or puzzled glances, not intercepting or alerting others.
"Just as expected! Xiao Beixuan can perceive the life and death of the offerings! With all offerings exterminated, he must be raging, summoning all hands to besiege the core area!"
Gu Sheng felt relieved, even more convinced of his previous judgment.
Destroying the offerings was like stirring a hornet’s nest; the core area was now certainly a den of dragons and tigers, filled with masters.
Though unafraid, he wished not to plunge into heavy siege immediately.
The pressing matter was to find Zhao Boyang and his group! Plus, the enigmatic and potentially more dangerous than Xiao Beixuan, Jin’er!
He swiftly recalled the location of the cave where Zhao Boyang and others were last hiding while manipulating the Blood Jade puppet.
It was at the eastern district’s edge in the Secret Realm, a concealed spot covered by huge vines and fallen stone pillars.
Determined, Gu Sheng changed direction, heading towards the remembered spot, suppressing his aura, lowering altitude, and swiftly gliding along the undulating mountains and deep valleys.
...
Time rewinds to before Gu Sheng’s consciousness was forcibly returned to his main body.
Inside the concealed cave covered by vines and stone pillars.
Blood Jade’s body spewed a torrent of black-red foul blood from the seven apertures under Jin’er’s brilliant golden finger, emitting a non-human shriek before collapsing softly to the ground.
It lost all vitality and aura, becoming a genuine corpse.
The sudden change plunged everyone inside the cave into chaos-like silence!
"Lord Blood Jade... is dead?!"
Several surviving Martial Artists, initially brought by Jin’er (in fact puppets secretly controlled by her), showed shock and confusion, instinctively retreating a few steps, at a loss.
Zhao Boyang, Old Xiong, and Old Array were even more shaken!
