Dang!
The sword energy stopped in midair as it was caught by the palm energy.
"What?" Song Pingsheng's expression changed.
Song Pingsheng pulled the sword with all his might. However, the manifested sword did not move at all, as if it was fixed in place.
Slowly, a man in white monk robes walked out of the tear in space. This was Venerable Liu Nian.
"What a heavy killing Qi. If not for the delay, it would have pierced into my body by now, right?" Venerable Liu Nian said coldly.
Crack! Venerable Liu Nian exerted force in his hand.
"Bang!"
The astral sword exploded and a large number of cracks appeared on the sword in Song Pingsheng's hand.
"Liu Nian?" Song Pingsheng raised his palm.
A huge palm aura was formed and struck out with a loud bang. It was as if a storm had swept up in the void.
"Humph!" Venerable Liu Nian snorted coldly. Then, he extended his right index finger and jabbed forward. A manifested finger materialized in the air.
Boom!
The manifested palm exploded. However, the manifested finger did not lose any momentum, instantly arriving before Song Pingsheng.
"Oh no!" Song Pingsheng's expression changed as he quickly used his elbow to block.
Boom!
Song Pingsheng was sent flying with a loud bang.
Blargh!
Song Pingsheng vomited a mouthful of blood in midair, showing a horrified expression.
Song Pingsheng had guessed that Venerable Liu Nian was ferocious, but he had not expected him to be this ferocious. Could it be that he could not resist at all?
"Let's go!" Song Pingsheng shouted.
Whoosh!
Song Pingsheng turned around and flew down the mountain, charging at Li Qinghe.
"Bang!"
Song Pingsheng grabbed Li Qinghe and flew into the distance.
"Sect Master ran?"
"Sect Master is not a match for him?"
"It's over. Let's go!"
…
…
…
The spirit-assimilated cultivators immediately turned around and fled amid startled cries.
"You want to leave? Humph! "Venerable Liu Nian snorted coldly as he extended his left hand.
A string of Buddhist prayer beads appeared on Venerable Liu Nian's left hand as he waved it at the sky.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, many illusory images appeared on the Buddhist prayer beads. It looked like countless Buddhist prayer beads instantly flew out, encasing everyone in the surroundings.
"Argh!" "Argh!" "Argh!"
Suddenly, the spirit-assimilated cultivators were bound by the Buddhist prayer beads. They seemed to be bound to their spots, unable to move.
"Release me! Release me!" the spirit-assimilated cultivators exclaimed.
In the distance, several strings of Buddhist prayer beads suddenly rushed towards the fleeing Song Pingsheng and Li Qinghe.
Song Pingsheng's expression changed, and he struck out with a palm.
Boom!
All of a sudden, he smashed through a group of Buddhist bead phantoms and fled even faster.
However, Venerable Liu Nian frowned as he looked around.
There were three thousand stone statues beside him. Not far away, Gu Hai lay on the ground, surrounded by black Qi. Clearly, he was severely injured. There was a pile of bones on the ground, and the Clear River Sect was in a mess.
Given Venerable Liu Nian's perception, he discovered that some of the Clear River Sect disciples' corpses were cut open, their hearts and livers gone.
The spirit-assimilated cultivators bound by the Buddhist prayer beads all showed ferocious expressions and gave off a fishy stench. The snake heads on their heads looked incredibly evil.
"What happened? Where's the hall master? "Venerable Liu Nian looked at Gu Hai.
"Quick, chase them back. The hall master is imprisoned. Quick, don't let them escape!" Gu Hai shouted as he pointed in Song Pingsheng's direction.
Venerable Liu Nian's expression changed. Before he could say anything, he took a step forward and gave chase.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, Venerable Liu Nian arrived at the horizon.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!" Gu Hai vomited a mouthful of blood as he stood up with much difficulty.
There were two to three hundred withered bones on the ground. Five hundred-odd spirit-assimilated cultivators were bound by the Buddhist prayer beads.
Gu Hai showed a cold gaze as he hobbled over to a spirit-assimilated cultivator.
"What are you doing?" that spirit-assimilated cultivator demanded in shock and anger.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack! The snake heads bared their fangs and roared at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai wiped the blood off his lips and revealed a sinister smile.
Shing!
Then, he stabbed his saber into the spirit-assimilated cultivator's body.
Whoosh!
The black energy suddenly entered, and the rolling skulls quickly tore at that spirit-assimilated cultivator's flesh.
"Argh!"
That spirit-assimilated cultivator screamed in pain.
By the time Gu Hai pulled out the Life Ender Saber, only a pile of withered bones remained of that spirit-assimilated cultivator.
Pa!
The Buddhist prayer bead image scattered, and the bones scattered.
"What? Senior Brother and the others were eaten by Gu Hai's saber? Eaten? "
"No! No! I don't want to be eaten! I don't want to!"
"Gu Hai, spare me! Spare me! I am innocent! I was just following orders!"
…
…
…
The spirit-assimilated cultivators pleaded in horror.
Gu Hai revealed a sinister smile as he said, "If you were humans, I could not bear to kill you. However, are you still humans? You are man-eating demons. The people you ate begged for mercy, but did you let them off?
Are the hearts and livers of humans tasty? Are they tasty?
From the moment you decided to turn into demons, you already stood against humans.
Enemies of humans! Kill! "
"Ssss!" "Ssss!" "Ssss!"
"Argh!"
"Argh!"
"I won't eat humans anymore! Don't kill me!"
…
…
…
Gu Hai's Life Ender Saber swallowed up the spirit-assimilated cultivators one after another. Gu Hai would not show mercy to these demonic cultivators. If he did not kill them, they would eat even more humans.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
Crack! Crack!
Gu Hai killed all the spirit-assimilated cultivators. As the Life Ender Saber swallowed up the energy of their flesh, the Life Ender Saber refined one-thousandth of their energy and infused it into Gu Hai's body. This was the energy that Gu Hai needed the most.
Xiao Chen's earlier injuries quickly healed. A large amount of energy rampaged in his body, rushing to his dantian.
Boom!
A strong wind surged out of Gu Hai's body, scattering the surrounding withered bones.
"The Innate Realm's eighth layer?" Gu Hai's eyes lit up.
After consuming eight hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators, Xiao Chen actually used this opportunity to break through to the next layer?
As Gu Hai looked coldly at the withered bones on the ground, he said coldly, "Those who eat humans deserve to die!"
"You are not much better off, right?" Suddenly, a voice rang out from behind Gu Hai.
Gu Hai turned his head to look.
Venerable Liu Nian had already returned. At this moment, he looked at the withered bones on the ground and stared coldly at Gu Hai.
Although Venerable Liu Nian did not know how Gu Hai did it, the withered bones on the ground already explained everything. Gu Hai also had some kind of evil secret technique.
Venerable Liu Nian questioned Gu Hai.
However, Gu Hai did not fear Venerable Liu Nian. As he held the Life Ender Saber, he kept his guard up against Venerable Liu Nian as he asked coldly, "What's wrong? Venerable Liu Nian thinks that these human-eating demons should not be killed?"
Venerable Liu Nian stared coldly at Gu Hai and said, "They should be killed! They should not be killed in such a manner! "
"Should be killed? Your Killing technique is just different from mine. Even though our paths are different, you still want to eliminate an outsider? "Gu Hai retorted coldly.
Venerable Liu Nian stared coldly at Gu Hai, remaining silent for a while.
"Gu Hai, the hall master and I still think highly of you. Don't make a mistake!" Venerable Liu Nian said seriously.
"Ha! Make a mistake? There is no need for Venerable Liu Nian to worry about my matters! "Gu Hai retorted coldly.
Venerable Liu Nian stared at Gu Hai silently for a while. It seemed like he still wanted to reprimand him, but he held himself back.
"You caught up to them?" Gu Hai looked at Venerable Liu Nian.
Venerable Liu Nian shook his head. "Song Pingsheng has a Dragon Fixing Hoop. He used it to escape."
"Dragon Fixing Hoop?" Gu Hai felt slightly stunned.
"What's going on? Can you tell me what happened? Where's the hall master? "Venerable Liu Nian asked with a frown.
Gu Hai sighed softly and described everything he knew to Venerable Liu Nian.
"I only left for a while. Song Pingsheng? Good! Good! Good! You are really bold! "Venerable Liu Nian said with a ferocious expression.
"Right now, the most important thing is the hall master's safety!" Gu Hai said with a frown.
"The hall master's safety should not be in danger for now," Venerable Liu Nian said with a frown.
"Oh?" Gu Hai said, feeling confused.
"I know about that flood dragon. Fu Xue? He knows the hall master's identity. Capturing the hall master is already his limit. He would not dare to hurt the hall master. Unless he is tired of living, even if he obtains the dragon vein, he will have nowhere to run, "Venerable Liu Nian said with certainty.
"Even so, there might be accidents. We need to save the hall master," Gu Hai said seriously.
Venerable Liu Nian nodded. "That's right!"
"Venerable Liu Nian, my three thousand subordinates came with me this time. They turned into stone statues because of you. Do you have a way to help them recover?" Gu Hai looked at the stone statues worriedly.
Venerable Liu Nian looked at the three thousand stone statues and frowned. Then, he sighed softly and said, "There is only one way to undo the curse on them."
"Oh?"
"Kill Li Qinghe. When Li Qinghe dies, the curse on them will automatically be removed," Venerable Liu Nian said Nly.
Gu Hai nodded and said, "Many thanks, Venerable!"
"There's no need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you. This time, if not for you, who knows when I could return? This Nine-Five Island is no longer peaceful. Even if something happens to the hall master, I will not be able to escape the blame." Venerable Liu Nian shook his head.
"Did you find her in the Netherworld Realm?" Gu Hai asked out of curiosity.
Venerable Liu Nian shook his head and said, "We went to the nearby ghost city, but no, we did not find her. However, we found some clues. We found the earthly soul of a servant of the hall master's mother. He was killed together with the hall master's mother. I was in a rush to return, so the Unborn Man continued to investigate."
Gu Hai frowned slightly, but he did not continue asking. After all, there were still extremely thorny matters in the Netherworld Realm.
"Venerable Liu Nian, I cannot leave my three thousand subordinates to the wind and rain. Can you help me bring them to the Gu Residence?" Gu Hai asked.
"Alright!"
Venerable Liu Nian extended his hand, and a huge flying ship flew out of his sleeve.
Boom!
The flying ship was extremely large. Venerable Liu Nian waved his hand, and white clouds suddenly appeared under the feet of the stone statues. Then, the white clouds slowly lifted the stone statues up and landed on the flying ship.
Gu Hai went to the surrounding palaces to search. At the same time, while avoiding Venerable Liu Nian's gaze, he turned the Life Ender Saber back into a rib and hid it in his body.
"Division Master Gu, what are you looking for?" Venerable Liu Nian asked, feeling confused.
Gu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "Because of you, I owe a lot of debts. I need to find spirit stones to repay them."
"Oh?" Venerable Liu Nian immediately recalled Gu Hai's earlier description.
"There's no need to search. We are pressed for time. I will repay your debts. After all, I am the cause," Venerable Liu Nian said.
"Oh?" Gu Hai looked at Venerable Liu Nian in surprise.
"Hualala!"
Venerable Liu Nian flipped his hand, and a large number of superior-grade spirit stones appeared out of nowhere. Clearly, Venerable Liu Nian had a small space.
Gu Hai did not stand on ceremony, putting away the spirit stones.
Venerable Liu Nian was extremely generous. These spirit stones were actually ten times more than what Gu Hai had borrowed. What a tycoon!
"Let's go!" Venerable Liu Nian said.
Gu Hai nodded and boarded the flying ship with Venerable Liu Nian. Then, they quickly headed for the Gu Residence.
