Long Wanqing glared at the thirty people blocking her way. Just as she was about to rage, Gu Hai suddenly stopped her.
It was not that Long Wanqing could not deal with them but that this was not the right time to fight. The tens of thousands of cultivators in the surroundings were watching. These thirty people would not be the only ones to jump out. More people would jump out as well.
"Everyone, we want to enter by ourselves. Can you make way for us?" Gu Hai asked indifferently.
Gu Hai's tone was very calm but also very cold. He took a step forward and stared coldly at the thirty people.
The people on the other side frowned slightly. After all, they had heard of Gu Hai's ferocious reputation during this time.
"Mr. Goode, we are Nine-Two Island's Ten Thousand Sea Sect disciples. We —" that cultivator said coldly.
However, Gu Hai interrupted that cultivator halfway.
Gu Hai's expression turned cold as he said, "I don't care who you are. I will say this one more time. We want to enter by ourselves. If anyone tries to stop us again, they will end up like all the disciples of Nine-Five Island's four sects!"
As Gu Hai spoke, he stared at the other party's eyes with a cold light. Then, he took another step forward.
All the disciples of Nine-Five Island's four sects — more than twenty thousand disciples — ended up the same? Did Gu Hai kill all of them?
When that cultivator saw Gu Hai's murderous gaze and recalled the fate of the four sects, he felt a chill in his heart.
Gu Hai's gaze turned cold as he stared at the cultivator at the very front. Then, he stepped forward.
Only now did that cultivator feel that he had acted too abruptly earlier. This was not a soft egg that he could casually bully. This was a murderous demon! Xiao Chen had killed nearly all the disciples of Nine-Five Island's sects. How could he foolishly charge forward?
Step by step, Gu Hai inched closer to that cultivator. As he stared into that cultivator's eyes, he looked like a wild beast choosing its prey.
Being stared at by Gu Hai, he couldn't move his eyes away. Every step of Gu Hai's seemed to be stepping on his heart. Cold sweat appeared on that practitioner's forehead. His previous confidence seemed to have disappeared in an instant. He even forgot what he was here for.
He watched as Gu Hai walked over step by step. It was as if Gu Hai's body was getting bigger and bigger.
"Hu!"
When Gu Hai walked to his side, the cultivator's heart finally couldn't resist anymore. He stepped back and opened a path.
After the first person stepped aside, the others followed suit.
Gu Hai led Long Wanqing and the others as they passed through the center of the thirty practitioners.
The thirty practitioners, however, were sweating profusely, but they did not mention stopping the group. It was as if they were lining up in two groups, respectfully welcoming and sending off Gu Hai and his group.
After Gu Hai and his group left, everyone let out a long sigh of relief. They looked at each other blankly. Just now, they had been under a lot of pressure.
Everything looked very calm, but it was also very strange.
At least in the eyes of the surrounding practitioners, this scene was too strange. Gu Hai didn't do anything to them at all. This group of people seemed to be scared silly.
Around them, some practitioners seemed to be waiting for these thirty people to take the lead so that they could swarm over. However, these thirty people suddenly became soft. What should the restless practitioners do?
For a moment, Gu Hai's aura alone seemed to have suppressed the entire crowd.
He walked step by step towards the giant peony flower. No one dared to go forward and stop him.
Long Wanqing looked at this scene blankly. Her heart was filled with confusion: "Gu Hai, they were so aggressive just now. Why are they suddenly afraid … …?"
"They were aggressive because many people around them were restless. They felt that they were part of the crowd. They were only the first. They had more people, so they were confident, so they weren't afraid of us. I stared into their eyes, the coldness piercing straight into their hearts. I gave them a feeling of 'I am only targeting you' in their hearts. It made them feel isolated. Loneliness is one of the emotions that people are most afraid of. They were suddenly afraid, so they naturally moved aside! "Gu Hai explained in a low voice.
"Loneliness?" Long Wanqing looked at Gu Hai in surprise.
"The several tens of thousands of practitioners here are not a single entity. They are all on guard against each other. I only magnified this emotion. That's why that group of people just now felt lonely!" Gu Hai explained.
Long Wanqing looked at Gu Hai with a complicated expression. Was this using the weakness of human nature for his own use?
The group continued to walk towards the peony flower. After a period of peace, another group of fifty people finally charged up and intercepted Gu Hai.
However, just like before, Gu Hai's group once again smoothly passed through the group of fifty people. Many practitioners who saw this revealed a confused expression.
"What's going on? This again? They already charged up. Why are they suddenly retreating? "
"Are they fools? Why are they dodging again? "
…
…
…
The surrounding cultivators revealed confused expressions.
The first time, these people still wanted to target Gu Hai. However, the second time, they found it strange. When Gu Hai calmly passed through one hundred cultivators who seemed to have been hit by the Body Immobilization Art for the third time, the tens of thousands of practitioners suddenly turned silent. No one dared to charge forward anymore.
No more cultivators charged forward. They only looked at the backs of Gu Hai's group, showing confused and conflicted expressions.
At this moment, Gu Hai's group arrived before the peony flower.
The peony flower's surface seemed to have boundless clouds, making the insides hazy.
Everyone paused for a moment.
Gu Hai took a deep breath and stepped onto a peony flower petal.
After Gu Hai took the first step, Long Wanqing, Guqin, and the others followed suit.
At this moment, the surrounding cultivators were no longer in the mood to think. They could only watch patiently.
Nine-Five Island: At the former Clear River Sect:
After the Clear River Sect was destroyed, Gu Hai stationed people here. After a few months, the Clear River Sect regained some popularity. Large numbers of ordinary soldiers were stationed here, and they started to excavate spirit stone mines.
At the peak where Long Wanqing once resided, the Gu Residence's shopkeeper kept accounting. Large numbers of spirit stones were mined every day.
The peak bustled with activity.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the space above the peak rippled.
"Huh?" The surrounding people's expressions changed.
Suddenly, a figure wearing black-and-white robes stepped out of the rippling space. Half of the robes was black, and the other half was white. The figure slowly walked out and landed in a small plaza on the peak.
An old shopkeeper's eyes lit up. He immediately put down his brush and walked over.
The old shopkeeper bowed slightly to the person who suddenly appeared and said, "I am the Gu Residence's shopkeeper. Greetings, Senior Unborn Man!"
"Huh?" the Unborn Man said after stepping out of the void.
One person spoke, but there were two voices, one young and tender, one old.
"Senior Unborn Man, my master, Gu Hai, told me to wait here and inform you that Venerable Liu Nian has returned. Hall Master Long Wanqing is fine now. They went to the Peony Sect together. My master is in the Gu Residence. He wishes to congratulate Senior at any time! "the old shopkeeper said.
"Oh?" the Unborn Man said indifferently.
"Oh, right. This is news from eight days ago. My master sends new news every ten days. It has been like this since eight days ago," the old shopkeeper said respectfully.
The Unborn Man stared at the old shopkeeper for a while before finally nodding.
"Where is the Peony Sect?" the Unborn Man asked indifferently.
"Oh, right. My master gave me a map of Nine-Five Island. Senior, please wait for a moment!" the old shopkeeper said respectfully.
Soon, the old shopkeeper found a map and was about to step forward to hand it to the Unborn Man.
"Don't come over!" the Unborn Man waved his hand.
Whoosh!
It was like a strong wind blew, knocking the old shopkeeper to the ground. The map fell to the ground as well.
"Senior, this humble one did not mean to offend you!" the old shopkeeper said in confusion as he fell to the ground.
"You did not offend me. However, there is a spirit by my side. Your aura is harmful to her," the Unborn Man said indifferently.
"Ah?" The old shopkeeper appeared confused.
There is only the Unborn Man before me, and there is a spirit?
The Unborn Man extended his hand, and the map on the ground landed in his hand. The Unborn Man extended his hand and tossed a small porcelain bottle to the old shopkeeper.
"This medicinal pill is for you," the Unborn Man said indifferently.
Clack! The old shopkeeper caught the medicinal pill.
However, he saw the Unborn Man take a look at the map. Then, he stomped his foot.
"Buzz!"
The Unborn Man suddenly disappeared as if he had never been here.
The old shopkeeper looked at the medicinal pill in his hand and then at where the Unborn Man disappeared. He immediately stood up and bowed respectfully. "Many thanks to Senior for bestowing me with this immortal pill!"
At the Peony Sect:
Tens of thousands of cultivators watched from the periphery as Gu Hai entered the Peony Flower Realm.
"Another group of people entered. The people in front either died at the life stones or died at the death stones. I wonder what happened to them?"
"Gu Hai's Go skills are extraordinary. Perhaps it will be different!"
"However, did you see that? That is Old Man Guanqi's puppet, Old Man Guanqi. No matter how strong Gu Hai's Go skills are, can he be stronger than Old Man Guanqi? "
"Dragon vein? Only in the Thousand Islands Sea would there not be many experts fighting over it. After all, the Thousand Islands Sea is too barren in the eyes of the people of the Divine Continent. How could they expect a dragon vein here? "
"Although there are many dragon veins in the Divine Continent, the experts there are also horrifying. Fighting over the dragon vein? Their cultivation is at least in the Yuanying State. How can it be like here? Any Innate Realm cultivator can fight over it? "
"Gu Hai is an Innate Realm cultivator. Can he obtain the dragon vein?"
"I think he is just seeking death!"
… … …
… … … …
… … …
The tens of thousands of cultivators immediately discussed this matter. Some admired Gu Hai, some envied him, and some watched from the sidelines. However, most of them wanted this dragon vein and were waiting for an opportunity outside. What if this happened?
Countless cultivators waited patiently. Gu Hai's group walked to the stamen of the Peony Flower Realm.
"Once you enter, you can't get out!" Long Wanqing looked worriedly at Gu Hai.
"It's fine. Didn't you get out before?" Gu Hai said with a smile.
Long Wanqing bit her lip and took out a golden bangle the size of a bracelet. She handed it to Gu Hai and said, "Gu Hai, I implicated you. This is the Dragon Fixing Bangle. It can help you escape. Here, take the Dragon Fixing Bangle! If you can't solve the Go puzzle, you can escape by yourself! "
Gu Hai looked at Long Wanqing in surprise. "If you give me the Dragon Fixing Bangle, what will happen to you?"
"I asked for it. If I can't get out, then so be it! I implicated you all, "Long Wanqing said with a bitter smile.
Gu Hai stared at Long Wanqing for a while. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. I have never lost in Go before!"
"You have to take it!" Long Wanqing insisted on handing it to Gu Hai.
Xiao Chen stared at Long Wanqing for a while. Although Long Wanqing might be muddle-headed at times, she was still a person with emotions.
"Alright, I'll take it first. However, don't worry. Since I dared to come in, I can definitely bring you all out!" Confidence flashed in Gu Hai's eyes.
"Alright!" Long Wanqing bit her lip and nodded.
Gu Hai turned his head and looked at the large Go board. It was a white life Go board.
A white-haired, white-clad old man sat across from the Go board. Gu Hai recognized him with one glance. Back in the Innate Puzzle World, Old Man Guanqi's programmed puppet entered Gu Hai's forehead. The old man looked exactly like the one before him.
"I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come, play!" the white-haired, old man across from him said with a faint smile.
"Huh? He knows Adoptive Father? "Guqin exclaimed in shock as he frowned.
Long Wanqing shook her head and said with a strange expression, "No, he says that to everyone. The venerable said that this programmed puppet might have been waiting for someone to arrive. I don't know who it is. However, he says that to everyone. "
