"Walk out in broad daylight? Hahahaha! "Ding Rui laughed coldly as she looked at Gu Hai.
"Gu Hai, you must be dreaming. You think you can do that?" Ding Dong shouted coldly.
Gu Hai stepped forward and looked at the surrounding cultivators. When he saw the Life Slaughterer Go Master, he saw the Life Slaughterer Go Master hugging a black-clad woman, not saying a word.
"Ding Dong, you want to make an enemy of Elite Hall and the Hall Master's maternal grandfather. Have you ever thought that all the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples have the same thoughts as you?" Gu Hai said coldly.
"Buzz!"
The Dragon Pinning Sect disciples immediately started whispering to each other.
"Gu Hai, you instigated Ding Dong earlier. Now, you want to sow discord among the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples? Is that all you have? "Ding Rui sneered.
The surrounding Dragon Pinning Sect disciples remained silent for a while, not saying anything.
"I am not trying to sow discord among the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples. However, at this moment, I need to be clear about who I can make an enemy of and who I can let off," Gu Hai said coldly.
"Huh?" The surrounding cultivators were stunned.
What did Gu Hai mean by this? Who can he let off? Do you think that you hold the initiative now?
However, Ding Dong showed a flustered expression. Even now, Gu Hai remained fearless. Could it be that Long Wanqing's maternal grandfather really came?
"Let off? Who do you want to let off? Are you scared silly? "Ding Rui looked at Gu Hai in shock.
Long Wanqing also looked at Gu Hai in confusion.
"Dragon Pinning Sect disciples? Fire Division disciples? Also, all the cultivators present, this is a grudge between Ding Rui and me. If you are not willing to get involved in this, please stand to the sides to avoid getting hurt. I can guarantee that no matter what the result is, you will be fine! "Gu Hai said." That's right.
The surrounding cultivators revealed bewildered expressions.
The thousand-odd cultivators that Gu Hai brought looked strangely at Gu Hai. After a moment of silence, they slowly moved to the sides.
They had indeed owed Gu Hai a favor by joining the Dragon Pinning Sect. However, they had not reached the point where they would risk their lives for Gu Hai. Right now, Elite Hall was in a bloody battle. Naturally, these people did not want to get involved in this, so they moved to the sides.
The Life Slaughterer Go Master led his disciples and slowly moved to the sides.
Ding Rui and Ding Dong looked at Gu Hai in confusion. However, the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples and Elite Hall Fire Division disciples did not move.
"What? Do you really have reinforcements? "Ding Rui said coldly.
Long Wanqing looked at Gu Hai with worry in her eyes.
"Hall Master, bring those three tables to me!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" The surrounding crowd revealed a blank expression. Move the table?
Although Long Wanqing's cultivation was sealed, she still had some strength. The three wooden tables were not heavy, so she quickly moved them over.
Gu Hai slowly stacked the three tables on top of each other.
Before the crowd's confused gazes, Gu Hai slowly stepped onto the three tables.
"Is Gu Hai crazy? What is he doing? "
"Why is he still climbing the tables at this moment?"
"Where does his confidence come from?"
…
…
…
The surrounding cultivators revealed confused expressions.
As Gu Hai stood on the tall platform, he looked coldly at Ding Rui and Ding Dong across from him.
Ding Dong had been rather nervous. Although he stood on Ding Rui's side, he still felt flustered. Did he choose the wrong team?
In the end, the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples followed Ding Dong, showing complicated expressions.
However, Ding Rui kept her guard up against Gu Hai. Although she felt that Gu Hai's cultivation was very low, he still destroyed the Great Feng Mafia Family and the First Song Sect. She had to be careful. Every action of his could have a deeper meaning.
However, when Ding Rui saw Gu Hai climb onto the tall platform of the three tables, she could not figure him out. What is he doing?
"Gu Hai, we have already come to this. What are you still pretending for? Surrender immediately. Otherwise …" Ding Dong glared.
"Sect Master Ding, do you know? Back then, the Great Feng Mafia Family's Li Wei used the same tone. Later, the First Song Sect's Song Pingsheng used the same tone. The Clear River Sect's Li Qinghe also used the same tone. Do you know what happened to them? "Gu Hai said coldly.
"Huh?" Ding Dong's expression changed. "You destroyed the Clear River Sect as well?"
"I personally cut off the head of the Clear River Sect's sect master!" Gu Hai said coldly.
"That's impossible. How can you be a match for Li Qinghe?" Ding Dong shouted coldly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Gu Hai flipped his hand and pulled out a head.
Whoosh!
The expressions of the surrounding cultivators immediately changed. Who could have expected Gu Hai to suddenly pull out a head?
"This is … this is Li Qinghe?" someone suddenly exclaimed.
"Why are there so many snake heads on Li Qinghe's head?" someone exclaimed.
"A spirit-assimilated cultivator? Fu Xue actually spirit-assimilated Li Qinghe? "Ding Rui exclaimed in shock.
"Sect Master Ding, do you still not believe me?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Ding Dong's eyelids twitched wildly.
"You don't believe me? You can ask Li Qinghe. He can answer you. Back then, he was so arrogant toward me. Then, I cut off his head! "Gu Hai said with a sinister expression.
"Ask?" Everyone showed confused expressions.
Li Qinghe already cut off Li Qinghe's head. How can you ask?
Even Long Wanqing goggled as she looked at Gu Hai. Is Gu Hai crazy?
"Li Qinghe, tell them!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Buzz!"
However, the small snakes on Li Qinghe's head started moving slowly.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack! With Gu Hai's Veritable Energy driving, the small snakes gave off cracking sounds as they moved. Li Qinghe's face also trembled.
"He's alive? How can that be? "
"Those snake heads … those snake heads are very ferocious!"
"Li Qinghe's head was cut off, but he did not die?"
…
…
…
Countless cultivators in the surroundings were shocked by this terrifying scene. Some of them couldn't help but take a step back. It was too strange.
Ding Dong and the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples felt their scalps go numb as they stared unblinkingly at Li Qinghe's snake heads.
Ding Rui and her subordinates also showed shocked and doubtful expressions.
"Li Qinghe's head was cut off. It is impossible for him to survive until now!" Ding Rui said with a cold expression.
"Look carefully. Is he still alive?!" Gu Hai shouted.
"Humph! Misleading the crowd with lies!" Ding Rui snorted coldly, looking like she was about to attack.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Li Qinghe opened his eyes.
"He opened his eyes!"
"There are so many red lights. Why are there red lights in Li Qinghe's eyes?"
"Li Qinghe is still alive?"
…
…
…
The surrounding cultivators exclaimed in shock.
Suddenly, boundless red lights shot out from Li Qinghe's snake-headed head. The red lights were aimed at Ding Rui, Ding Dong, and their subordinates. Gu Hai had already moved the external cultivators to the sides, avoiding the red lights.
Gu Hai stood on the high platform between the three tables so that he could have the best view so that the thousands of people across him could see Li Qinghe's eyes. Otherwise, if he stood too low, the people behind him would be blocked by the people in front.
Xiao Chen spoke a lot just to attract everyone's attention.
For a moment, countless red lights gushed out.
"Buzz!"
The thousands of cultivators instantly fell for the red lights, just like how the red lights enveloped the three thousand evil men back then.
"Oh no! There is something wrong with the red lights!" Ding Rui shouted, her expression changing.
Ding Rui and Ding Dong saw the most clearly. How could they have expected Li Qinghe's eyes to open? Furthermore, the red lights would curse them. The two fell for it in nearly an instant.
"Ah!" The Dragon Pinning Sect disciples screamed miserably.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Crack! Crack! Crack! Countless Dragon Pinning Sect disciples stiffened. Their bodies turned gray as they quickly petrified.
"No! No!" Ding Dong screamed in horror. He wanted to struggle, but he was not strong enough in the end. Hence, he quickly petrified as well.
The Fire Division disciples also petrified.
The red lights shot out for only a short while before Gu Hai put away Li Qinghe's snake-headed head.
"Bang!"
Gu Hai jumped off the high platform.
Long Wanqing goggled at the petrified cultivators across her.
For a moment, Leisure Valley fell silent. Everyone sucked in a cold breath. As far as the eye could see, nearly everyone had turned into stone.
"This … what's going on?" Long Wanqing exclaimed in shock.
Of the thousands of people, some managed to avoid the red lights. Then, they looked at the people around them.
"What's going on? Senior Brother, Junior Brother, why did you turn into stone? "
"Stone? Don't! Don't! Why did you turn into stone? "
…
…
…
The people who avoided the red lights looked around in horror. The thousands of people who held the upper hand earlier had turned into stone in the blink of an eye. Stone statues? How can this be? Horror spread through everyone's body.
Whoosh!
The cultivators that Gu Hai called to the sides continuously retreated in horror. All of them turned into stone? How can this be? Suddenly, everyone looked at Gu Hai in horror.
Gu Hai jumped to Long Wanqing's side and looked coldly at Ding Rui and Ding Dong. These were the two greatest threats.
Ding Dong had already turned into stone, but Ding Rui had not. Only half of her body had turned into stone. It looked like she was using her strength to struggle against the curse.
"Gu Hai, you lied to me! Argh!" Ding Rui roared gloomily.
"Oh no! Ding Rui's petrification is fading!" Long Wanqing's expression changed.
"Hall Master, stay here and don't move. I'll go and kill Ding Rui!" Gu Hai glared and was about to make a move.
"Kill me? Humph! "Ding Rui shouted.
"Buzz!"
Xiao Chen reached out and took out a zither from the compressed space in the authority token.
"Be careful! Don't go! "Long Wanqing's expression suddenly changed.
There was only one string on the zither. However, that string had been plucked and was stuck in place by a thin needle.
Then, Xiao Chen saw Ding Rui reach out and remove that thin needle.
"Buzz!"
The zither string instantly returned to its original position, and zither music rang out.
Along with the sound of the zither, boundless Sword Qi burst out.
Boom!
Like a storm, the sword qi surged in all directions.
Crack! Crack!
The surrounding stone statues were all blasted into pieces in an instant.
"Ahhhh!"
The surrounding cultivators quickly retreated. The surging sword qi formed a sphere around Ding Rui, who was holding the zither, and spread out. Everywhere the sword qi went, everything was destroyed. The surrounding rocks, trees, and stone statues all shattered.
Dang! Dang!
Gu Hai took out a saber and chopped.
The sword qi instantly shattered the saber.
Gu Hai's expression changed. Then, he quickly led Long Wanqing to the periphery.
"Ah! Division Master!"
The subordinates that did not turn into stone immediately screamed miserably and jumped to the periphery.
Most of the Dragon Pinning Sect disciples turned into stone statues, instantly shattered. Only a few managed to escape, watching this scene in horror.
"Master!"
"Sect Master!"
"No!"
…
…
…
Everyone screamed miserably. However, it was already too late. Everyone, including Ding Dong, was instantly shattered.
The sword qi storm was too strong.
In the blink of an eye, only one-hundred-odd people remained of the several thousand people charging over.
To protect herself, Ding Rui did not care whether these stone statues could revive or not.
"That zither music is sealed in that zither. The zither music contains boundless sword qi that can protect one for a short time. No one can get close! Ding Rui did not seal it. She does not have that ability! "Long Wanqing said, her expression changing.
Gu Hai took out a bow and shot an arrow infused in Veritable Energy at Ding Rui.
Whoosh!
Boom!
The boundless sword qi instantly shattered the arrow.
"It's useless. The zither music keeps trembling. The sword qi field it forms is too strong!" Long Wanqing said, her expression changing.
"Those who are still alive, capture Gu Hai for me! I will break free of the curse soon. Don't let them escape! "Ding Rui shouted.
The dozens of Dragon Pinning Sect disciples did not move. However, the dozens of Fire Division disciples showed worried expressions as they stepped forward.
"Mr. Goode, we'll help you!" Suddenly, a cultivator jumped out.
After all, Gu Hai was the one who told everyone not to participate earlier. Everyone hid at the sides to avoid turning into stone statues. Otherwise, they would have died earlier. This was not just a favor, but a life-saving grace.
Boom!
Immediately, three hundred cultivators jumped out and blocked the Fire Division disciples.
"Many thanks, everyone. There's no need. They won't dare!" Gu Hai said coldly.
Indeed, the Fire Division disciples showed worry on their faces. After all, the First Song Sect's example was still vivid in their minds. Furthermore, Li Qinghe's head was an even more horrifying thing. The Fire Division disciples only surrounded Li Qinghe from a distance.
"Gu Hai?" Long Wanqing looked anxiously at Gu Hai.
Gu Hai looked at the nearby Life Slaughterer Go Master. However, the Life Slaughterer Go Master did not move.
"Humph!" Gu Hai snorted coldly.
Then, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around Long Wanqing's waist.
"What are you doing?" Long Wanqing's expression changed.
"Hold me tight!" Gu Hai said seriously.
As Gu Hai spoke, he squatted slightly and then leaped up.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and countless cracks appeared. However, Gu Hai shot out like a cannonball, soaring to the floating island in the sky. The strong jumping force instantly propelled Gu Hai high into the sky.
"Ah!" Long Wanqing hugged Gu Hai in horror.
Ding Rui's expression changed dramatically as she hugged her zither.
Buzz! Buzz!
Buzz! Buzz! As the petrified area on her body slowly decreased, her expression turned increasingly cold. "You cannot run, Gu Hai!"
The surrounding cultivators looked up at Gu Hai. The dozens of Ding Rui's subordinates debated for a while but did not give chase in the end.
Even if the stone statues could recover, these people would definitely die.
Everyone looked at Ding Rui with complicated expressions.
Clack!
High in the sky, Gu Hai jumped onto the floating island and landed on the floating island's barrier.
"What's in here? A dragon vein? "Long Wanqing's expression changed as she looked at her feet.
There was a transparent barrier under Xiao Chen's feet, surrounded by clouds and fog. There were also six hundred Go puzzles floating around. A large Go board landed at the edge of the barrier.
Gu Hai quickly stepped forward and carefully inspected the Go board.
Clack!
Without hesitation, Gu Hai picked up a black Go stone and placed it on the Go board.
Boom!
Clouds and fog suddenly churned around the floating island.
"What is Gu Hai doing?"
"He seems to be playing Go?"
"Playing Go?"
…
…
…
The cultivators nearly vomited blood. How can he be in the mood to play Go at this moment?
"Oh no! Ding Rui's petrification is about to break. She only has a little left!" someone exclaimed.
Clack!
High in the sky, Gu Hai placed another Go stone.
Boom!
Suddenly, ten Go puzzles exploded.
"Huh?" Ding Rui's expression sank.
Gu Hai is breaking the Go puzzles?
