After explaining the various matters of the Gu Residence to the various managers, Gu Hai left with Long Wanqing.
Gu Hai led Guqin, Shanghai Hen, the evil men, and some of the Gu Residence's managers to the flying ship, heading for the Peony Sect.
Long Wanqing had freshened up and changed her clothes. She looked much fresher and cleaner, but her eyes were still filled with anxiety. The three servants stood respectfully at the side.
"Hall Master, we will stop at the Peony Sect later. Shangguan Hen and my men might need to use your flying ship to transport grain to other places," Gu Hai explained.
"It's fine. It's fine as long as you can go. You can use the flying ship however you want! "Long Wanqing said straightforwardly.
Gu Hai nodded.
Right now, the five nations had submitted to the Gu Residence. There were too many things to do, so no one could leave. Originally, Guqin wanted to stay behind to manage the situation. However, Guqin repeatedly asked, so Gu Hai agreed to let him follow. After all, although the Gu Residence was just one residence, Gu Hai valued talents. The Gu Residence's managers were very detailed, so there were many things that they did not have to worry about. Everything just had to go according to plan.
"Hall Master, can you describe the situation at the Peony Sect in more detail?" Gu Hai looked at Long Wanqing.
"That day, we went to the Peony Sect together and discovered that the sect was in a state of desolation. There were still a dozen or so scattered disciples left, and they were at a loss for what to do. We went to capture a few and questioned them. We found out that something strange had happened at Peony Peak. A giant peony flower had condensed. A group of Peony Sect disciples, led by the Sect Master of the Peony Sect, stepped into it one after another and never came out!
Dragon roars came from the huge peony flower. We all thought that it was the dragon vein. After thinking for a while, Li Haoran sent people in to test it out. When they found no danger, they went in. Then, we saw Old Man Guanqi! "Long Wanqing said bitterly.
"Old Man Guanqi?" Gu Hai felt slightly stunned.
"It should be a puppet he left behind! Old Man Guanqi laid out the life chess pieces and the death chess pieces. In these two chess pieces, if one did not enter life, then they would enter death! Life Chess and Old Man Guanqi's Puppet, Death Chess, I don't know either! "Long Wanqing's eyes flashed with regret.
"Life and Death Chess?" Gu Hai was puzzled.
"In the beginning, we entered the life chess area and played against Old Man Guanqi. But once we lost a piece, we were immediately crushed into pieces by the inexplicable chess formation. No one dared to go down. At that time, we wanted to retreat, but once we entered that giant peony, we couldn't. It was either the Life Chess or the Death Chess. Just as we retreated, we were pushed into the abyss of the Death Chess by a force. In the blink of an eye, everyone became Go. At that time, I was also about to become Go, but Master saved me in the end! He used all his strength to encircle me with the Dragon Fixing Hoop and pushed me out of the abyss. I was the only one to escape! "Long Wanqing said miserably.
"The Dragon Fixing Hoop?" Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.
Long Wanqing immediately took out a golden hoop. This was the treasure of Song Pingsheng, which Venerable Liu Nian obtained before Song Pingsheng died.
"Venerable Liu Nian said that this Dragon Fixing Hoop was a treasure that Old Man Guanqi refined. Hence, that might be the reason why I managed to escape!" Long Wanqing smiled bitterly.
"You saw them turn into Go stones?" Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.
"Yes, they all turned into Go stones. Some turned into white Go stones, and some turned into black Go stones. I saw it. Do you think they are still alive?" Long Wanqing said in a panic.
"Don't worry too much. Back then, didn't my three thousand subordinates turn into stone statues as well? Aren't they fine now? "Gu Hai consoled.
Long Wanqing bit her lip and nodded.
"Since that is the case, why did you wait several months before coming to my residence?" Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.
It had already been several months since the battle at the Dragon Pinning Sect.
"I … someone pursued me after that. However, I managed to escape in the end!" Long Wanqing said bitterly.
"Someone pursued you?" Gu Hai said in surprise. Someone actually dared to pursue Long Wanqing?
"Right, it was an old blind man. Right, there was also a one-eyed man!" Long Wanqing recalled.
"Blind man? One-eyed? "Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
Guqin immediately got someone to search quickly. Soon, he found two portraits and handed them to Gu Hai.
"Right! Right! It's them!" Long Wanqing exclaimed, her eyes suddenly widening in shock.
"Li Wei? Wei Yang?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Li Wei? The former don of the Great Feng Mafia Family? Didn't he turn into the living dead? "Long Wanqing recalled with a change in expression.
"Indeed. This Wei Yang is Li Wei and Montes's master. Wei Yang should have awakened Li Wei. They pursued you? "Gu Hai frowned slightly.
"They seemed to want to ask me about the situation in the gigantic peony tree!" Long Wanqing recalled.
"Wei Yang? Ha! They are really cautious. They know that the dragon vein is here but do not dare to enter? "Gu Hai frowned.
"In that case, Wei Yang should have been waiting here long ago. However, one can only enter and not exit the gigantic peony tree. They were worried. When they saw that Hall Master could come out, they wanted to know the situation?" Guqin said after thinking for a while.
"Maybe!" Long Wanqing nodded.
The flying ship flew very quickly. Soon, they arrived at the Peony Sect.
"Buzz!"
The flying ship stopped at the summit of a mountain peak.
Gu Hai, Guqin, the ten evil men, and Long Wanqing and her servant jumped off the flying ship.
Whoosh!
Shangguan Hen steered the flying ship and quickly left.
"That gigantic peony tree bloomed? A few months ago, it was just a bud! "Long Wanqing said in shock.
However, she saw that a mountain peak in the distance seemed to have been cut in half. A gigantic peony tree with a diameter of three thousand meters spread out above it. Clouds and mist lingered above the peony tree.
The area around the flower's stamen was even thicker with white mist. Vaguely, one could see two gigantic Go boards, one black Go board and one white Go board.
A hazy, white-haired old man seemed to be sitting in front of the white Go board.
However, the black Go board seemed to be a black hole that could not be seen clearly.
There were eight large golden words at the edge of the peony tree. "Life Go, Death Go. Leave it to fate!"
"Life Go? Death Go? "Gu Hai frowned slightly.
On the white Go board, across from the white-haired old man, there was a gigantic golden word for "Life." Even through the mist, it shone brightly.
On the black Go board, there was a gigantic golden word for "Death."
Many cultivators had already occupied the peaks around the Peony Tree Sect.
However, when the cultivators looked at the gigantic peony tree in the distance, no one dared to approach. Immediately, countless cultivators showed conflicted expressions.
"Roar!"
A dragon roar came from under the peony tree.
"The sound of the dragon vein?" Guqin's eyes lit up.
Long Wanqing looked worriedly at the gigantic peony tree in the distance. However, Gu Hai frowned slightly.
That was because, with the appearance of these people, the gazes of countless cultivators in the surroundings turned toward them.
"That is the Demon Gu Hai!" Someone immediately recognized Gu Hai from far away.
"That is the Elite Hall Master, Long Wanqing? The only person to escape from the peony tree? "someone exclaimed in shock.
"Gu Hai? Gu Hai is here? He can solve the Twenty-Nine Line-Pair World Go Puzzle? "
"Gu Hai solved it in the Dragon Pinning Sect. Can he solve it?"
…
…
…
The expressions of countless cultivators slowly changed.
Gu Hai turned his head and looked around. However, he sensed hostile intent. Many cultivators seemed eager to make a move.
"Roar! Evil beast! You are seeking death! "Suddenly, a furious roar came from the death Go board in the peony tree.
"That is Montes's voice?" Gu Hai raised his eyebrows.
"Montes entered the Go puzzle as well?" Long Wanqing said in shock.
"Montes, return my Yue Yao!" Another voice came from the death Go board.
"That is Li Wei?" Gu Hai said with a frown.
"Li Wei and Wei Yang both entered?" Guqin revealed some curiosity.
"Roar! Montes, you will not have a good ending. Wei Yang, when did I offend you? Roar! "Another roar rang out.
"That is the flood dragon Fu Xue?" Gu Hai frowned as he stared at the death Go board in the distance.
Hearing the roar, Gu Hai felt that the situation was turning increasingly complicated.
"Why is there no venerable voice?" Long Wanqing asked worriedly.
"Hall Master, there is no need to worry. Although we do not know what happened in there, it at least proves that entering the death Go board does not mean death. Given Venerable Liu Nian's abilities, he should have no problem protecting himself, right? "Gu Hai consoled.
"That's right. The venerable will definitely be fine!" Long Wanqing's anxiety eased somewhat. However, she still felt incredibly worried.
"Adoptive Father, something is wrong. The surrounding cultivators are looking at us with increasingly hostile gazes. Some seem to be heading for us," Guqin said worriedly with raised eyebrows.
Gu Hai looked around. Indeed, as the discussions increased, some cultivators drew their sabers and swords. As they walked towards him, they guarded their surroundings.
As far as the eye could see, there were at least fifty thousand cultivators gathered here.
"They know that I know how to play Go and want to hold me hostage to open a path for them?" Gu Hai revealed a cold smile.
"Yes!" Guqin nodded.
"Gu Hai, shall we go in?" Long Wanqing looked pleadingly at Gu Hai.
"That's fine. Let's go, then. I want to see the advanced version of the Twenty-Nine Line-Pair World Go Puzzle!" Gu Hai said with determination flashing in his eyes.
"Thank you!" Long Wanqing said sincerely.
"Hall Master, there is no need for that!" Gu Hai smiled.
"However, what if we run into danger? Should Guqin stay outside in case something happens to us?" Long Wanqing asked worriedly.
"There is no need. Hall Master, it is safest for me to follow Adoptive Father. Look at the gazes of the surrounding people. They will capture me to threaten Adoptive Father! "Guqin said with a smile.
"Alright!" Long Wanqing nodded.
The group of sixteen people headed for the gigantic peony tree on the main peak.
Along the way, they passed by many cultivators. The cultivators showed complicated expressions. They wanted to go forward but felt somewhat worried.
Finally, when they were halfway there, thirty cultivators could not hold back and suddenly jumped out. These people blocked the path of Gu Hai's group.
"Mr. Goode, are you going to enter this peony tree world?"
"How about we accompany Mister?"
"We can protect Mister!"
…
…
…
The group walked over. Although they spoke politely, they all held their weapons and showed cold expressions.
