There were many houses on the mountain peak where Long Wanqing stayed.
Gu Hai's group quickly arrived at the mountain peak, shrouded in fog. The spirit-assimilated cultivators and Song Pingsheng surrounded them, all of them watching with sullen expressions.
Due to the fog ritual array, everyone felt fear in their hearts.
"Sect Master, there should be no problem, right?" a spirit-assimilated cultivator asked softly.
"Fu Xue's guess was right. Gu Hai went to the First Song Sect and got some information. He knows how to find Venerable Liu Nian!" Song Pingsheng said with an unsightly expression.
"Milord, we are here!" Chen Tianshan called out.
"Shangguan Hen!" Gu Hai ordered.
"Begin!" Gu Hai said seriously.
"Yes!"
Ten-odd evil men separated from the group and quickly laid the ritual array using the remaining spirit stones according to the method that Gu Hai taught them.
Then, they laid the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array shrouded in fog again.
"It's done!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Yes!"
All the evil men let go at the same time. The fog immediately scattered.
The instant the fog scattered, everything was exposed. All the spirit-assimilated cultivators' expressions changed.
"Ah! Isn't this the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array?"
"Is this the simplified Heavenly Saber Death Match with layering of energy?"
…
…
…
Many people recognized it. After all, this was what the Great Feng Mafia Family used to capture Li Wei.
"Gu Hai, how dare you lie to me?" Song Pingsheng glared as he swung his sword.
"It was not earlier, but it is now. Rise!" Gu Hai shouted.
Boom!
All of a sudden, rolling white fog rose from the ground and enveloped the entire mountain peak in an instant.
"Break!" Xiang Yu's shout came from the white fog.
Shing!
Xiang Yu swung his halberd again.
Boom!
Song Pingsheng's manifested sword scattered. Song Pingsheng's expression changed as he quickly retreated, barely dodging the attack.
"Gu Hai, I won't let you off!" Song Pingsheng roared furiously.
Fog covered the entire mountain peak. The evil men immediately heaved sighs of relief and guffawed. They looked at Gu Hai with even more respect. There was nothing that Sir couldn't do.
"Search that rock!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Yes!"
The three thousand evil men quickly rushed about.
Gu Hai also rushed to the room where Long Wanqing used to live. Although Gao Xianzhi got the news from the three servants, she couldn't describe what the stone looked like.
Everyone quickly searched for him.
"Ah? It's the Sect Master! "Chen Tianshan exclaimed in wild joy.
Not far away, on a rack, Li Qinghe was being tortured, unconscious.
Chen Tianshan was about to step forward.
"Director Chen, you can't!" Gao Xianzhi suddenly shouted.
"What are you doing?" Chen Tianshan asked, glaring.
"Milord's order is to find the stone first and deal with Li Qinghe later. I feel that something is wrong!" Gao Xianzhi shouted.
"But … you guys look for the stones, I'll go …" Chen Tianshan shouted.
"Have you forgotten about the Innate Puzzle World?" Gao Xianzhi shouted.
Chen Tianshan's expression changed as he nodded.
The group quickly went around the rack and searched the various rooms.
Li Qinghe pretended to be unconscious on the rack. However, his face twitched.
Li Qinghe did not expect that these people would be on guard against him even though he already looked so miserable. Did they not have any sympathy for him?
What were they looking for?
"Found it, Milord!" Scar suddenly cried out in joy.
"Oh?"
Everyone ran out of their rooms.
Scar held a stone and walked over to Gu Hai.
"Milord, quickly summon Venerable Liu Nian back. Our spirit stones will run out soon!" Shangguan Hen said anxiously from not far away.
Running out of spirit stones?
Everyone's expression changed.
"Smash it!" Gu Hai shouted.
In the distance, Li Qinghe opened his eyes and suddenly charged forward.
Boom!
The rack exploded, and Li Qinghe suddenly charged over. Then, he charged at the stone in Scar's hand.
The expressions of the evil men changed.
"Sect Master?" Chen Tianshan's expression changed.
"I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might unrivalled!" a loud roar rang out.
However, Gu Hai was the most alert. He suddenly materialized his halberd.
Boom!
The halberd smashed into Li Qinghe.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
Li Qinghe dodged by the skin of his teeth. However, the halberd chopped off his right arm. He clutched his right arm, horror in his eyes.
"Sect Master, what are you doing?" Chen Tianshan exclaimed.
"It's over. Milord, the spirit stones are shattering!" the evil man in charge of the ritual array on the other side said anxiously.
"Pa!" Dao Ba suddenly crushed the stone.
"Buzz!"
Space trembled slightly, but it soon stopped.
"Where is he?" Gao Xianzhi's expression changed.
"He's gone? Venerable Liu Nian did not come out? Was he tricked? "Chen Tianshan exclaimed.
"No, he shouldn't have been tricked. However, Venerable Liu Nian just received the news and still needs to rush back. He still needs some time," Gu Hai said with a sullen expression.
"Milord, there are not enough spirit stones. What should we do?" the evil men in charge of the ritual array asked anxiously.
"Hahahaha! There are not enough spirit stones. The ritual array can no longer support it, right?" Li Qinghe guffawed.
"Sect Master, we are here to save you. Why are you … why are you …" Chen Tianshan said anxiously.
Li Qinghe's expression changed. Sometimes, it was sorrowful; sometimes, it was angry.
"Save me? You only came now. You only came now. What is the point of coming now? What is the point? "Li Qinghe shouted in grief and indignation.
"However, aren't you still alive?" Chen Tianshan cried out, feeling confused.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Li Qinghe's body was surrounded by a scarlet evil aura. When the evil aura appeared, it was like a storm that wrapped around Li Qinghe.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
"A spirit-assimilated cultivator?" Everyone's expression changed.
"Is there still any use? Is there still any use? "Li Qinghe roared in grief and indignation.
"Sect Master Li, let's give this matter further thought!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Give this matter further thought? Humph! It is already too late. Turn all of you into stone!" Li Qinghe said coldly.
As Li Qinghe spoke coldly, his eyes suddenly released a dazzling red light.
Turn into stone?
Everyone revealed confused expressions. What does that mean?
However, Gu Hai's expression changed. He shouted, "Don't look at his eyes!"
As Gu Hai spoke, he suddenly waved his hand.
"I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world!"
A halberd suddenly appeared out of nowhere and chopped down at Li Qinghe.
"Ahh!" "Ahh!"
As the evil men screamed miserably, their bodies immediately stiffened. Their bodies grew increasingly stiff, and they slowly turned gray. Then, they froze in place, motionless.
"Roar!" Li Qinghe punched at the halberd.
Crack! Crack!
As the halberd chopped down, it vanished.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out as Li Qinghe crashed into the illusory halberd.
"Bang!"
The halberd knocked Li Qinghe into the air. Then, he vomited a mouthful of blood in midair. A huge gash opened from his right shoulder to his left waist, and his internal organs spilled out.
"Bang!"
Li Qinghe landed at the foot of the mountain outside the ritual array.
The halberd was also completely shattered at that moment. Now that Xiao Chen had drained all his spirit stones, he could no longer form the halberd.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Aside from Gu Hai averting his gaze for an instant, all the three thousand evil men on the mountain peak stiffened and slowly turned to stone.
Gu Hai stood among the stone statues and inhaled sharply. "Medusa? Snake-headed people? Petrification magic power? "
"Chen Tianshan, Gao Xianzhi, Scar, Shangguan Hen!" Gu Hai called out to everyone.
However, everyone had already turned into stone statues, not moving at all.
No one knew how long Venerable Liu Nian would take to return. At this moment, the ritual array had already drained most of its spirit stones. It could no longer form the halberd, leaving only this hazy white fog. No one knew how much longer the white fog could last.
Outside, Li Qinghe landed on the ground, spraying out a large amount of blood. The spirit-assimilated cultivators immediately surrounded him.
"Li Qinghe, are you alright?" Song Pingsheng quickly took out a medicinal pill and handed it to him.
"I am out of strength. It's all up to you. I have already petrified everyone. His ritual array is broken as well. Without spirit stones, he can no longer form the halberd. Quickly, go in. They crushed the stone to summon Venerable Liu Nian. Venerable Liu Nian will be back soon! "Li Qinghe called out weakly.
Li Qinghe's stomach was already ripped open. He could survive only because of his strength. However, he could no longer enter the ritual array.
"Venerable Liu Nian will be back soon?" Song Pingsheng's expression changed.
"Quickly, go in! I petrified all of them! The ritual array is also broken. Quickly! "Li Qinghe shouted.
"They are all petrified? The ritual array is broken? "Song Pingsheng's eyes lit up.
"Everyone, listen up!" Song Pingsheng shouted as though he was summoning all the spirit-assimilated cultivators.
Inside the ritual array, Gu Hai suddenly heard Song Pingsheng's shout. Knowing that the situation was bad, he immediately stopped inspecting the stone statues and shouted, "Song Pingsheng, why are you still not coming in and sending yourselves to death?!"
Gu Hai's shout caused Song Pingsheng's words to stop abruptly.
"Didn't you say that everyone was petrified?" Song Pingsheng stared at Li Qinghe.
"Only Gu Hai remains. He managed to dodge. Quickly, he is the only one left. Crush him to death at any time!" Li Qinghe shouted.
Song Pingsheng showed hesitation on his face.
"The ritual array no longer has spirit stones to support it. Quickly, take down Gu Hai!" Li Qinghe called out anxiously.
Song Pingsheng looked at Li Qinghe, then at the ritual array before him. However, he did not dare to take the risk. Li Qinghe was spirit-assimilated, and his lifeforce was stronger. Hence, he did not die. If Song Pingsheng got hit by the halberd, he would be finished.
Is the ritual array really crippled?
Song Pingsheng felt anxious, as Venerable Liu Nian would be returning soon. They needed to lay in ambush. Hence, they needed to break this ritual array.
"Everyone, listen up! The ritual array no longer has any power. All the evil men have been petrified. Only Gu Hai remains. Take down Gu Hai. Quickly, take down Gu Hai!" Song Pingsheng shouted.
The spirit-assimilated cultivators looked at each other and nodded in the end. Then, they drew their weapons and ventured into the fog.
The eight hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators slowly entered the ritual array.
At the center of the ritual array, Gu Hai looked at the three thousand petrified evil men with a sullen expression.
Indeed, the ritual array was already useless. Venerable Liu Nian had not returned yet. Now, Xiao Chen had to face eight hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators and Song Pingsheng alone.
"The ritual array really did not block me. The ritual array is really crippled. Haha! Quickly, follow me up the mountain!" A spirit-assimilated cultivator's joyful voice came from the fog.
More spirit-assimilated cultivators entered the ritual array.
However, Song Pingsheng supported Li Qinghe. His eyelids twitched slightly as he waited quietly.
The eight hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators headed up the mountain. Now, only Gu Hai remained on the mountain.
Gu Hai's eyelids twitched wildly as he let out a long breath. Then, he tore open the clothes on his chest.
Whoosh!
Surging black energy came out of Gu Hai's body. Suddenly, a rib bone pierced through the skin at his chest, and a handle slowly appeared.
"Life Ender, fight with me!" Gu Hai said with a cold look in his eyes.
Shing!
Xiao Chen drew the Life Ender Saber from his chest, and surging black energy poured out.
