Fang Yuan lowered his head, looking at the unconscious Tai Bai Yunsheng.
He was the culprit behind Tai Bai Yunsheng's fainted body.
Right now, Tai Bai Yunsheng's body was bathed in blood, lying on the ground with his eyes tightly shut.
He was riddled with injuries, his snow-white hair had coagulated with blood, he no longer had the demeanor of the number one healing Gu Master in northern plains.
Just a few steps away, outside the main hall's door, a sea of blood beasts were roaring, the clamorous sound waves continuously surged towards them.
Fang Yuan raised his head, staring at them, saying softly: "Shut up."
In an instant, there was dead silence outside.
The blood beasts shut their mouths, kneeling on the ground like obedient cats and dogs, not moving an inch.
Fang Yuan used the six-edge owner token to control this floor. He was the owner of this floor, and these blood beasts were naturally under his control, obeying his will and following his commands.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes, his mind entering this floor, quietly sensing.
Right now, there were still many Gu Masters left in this round.
Among these Gu Masters, a portion were pulled in by Tai Bai Yunsheng, but were eliminated in the previous battles. There was also a portion of scouts from various forces, all of them were investigative Gu Masters. They came from Hei tribe, Ma tribe, Ye Lui tribe and other forces, paying close attention to the success or failure of Tai Bai Yunsheng's trip.
As for this main hall, other than the withered corpses on the ground, only Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yunsheng were left.
Fang Yuan closed the main hall's door, half squatting on the ground, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed Tai Bai Yunsheng's head.
The Gu worms were already prepared, he activated them one after another.
Soon, a faint white light shone on Tai Bai Yunsheng's head, becoming the only source of light in the dark main hall.
The white light became brighter and brighter, Tai Bai Yunsheng's face gradually showed a painful expression, his brows furrowing deeper.
After a while, Fang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes!
His eyes. There were no pupils, only sclera.
The whites of his eyes shined with a faint light, at the same time, large amounts of images appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
All of Tai Bai Yunsheng's memories from his old age to his youth were extracted by Fang Yuan.
…
An old man was walking in northern plains, the sky was vast and the land was vast, the grass was swaying in the wind. The wolves howled.
…
"Old mister, we brothers will never forget your kindness of saving our lives!" Gao Yang and Zhu Zai knelt down at his feet.
…
A purple-haired old beggar opened his mouth, revealing his few teeth as he laughed weirdly: "What kind of Gu Master do you want to be? Heh heh heh, I happen to have three complete inheritances here! "
…
"En. This kid looks pretty good, I'll choose him. "In Inkman City, an inkman pointed at the young Tai Bai Yunsheng and laughed heartily.
Even further back, when he was even younger …
"Why? Why did you betray me?!" On the night of their wedding, Tai Bai Yunsheng stumbled and fell. Shouts of killing could be heard from outside the tent.
His wife's face was filled with coldness and hatred as she slowly approached him. Her eyes were filled with an ominous glint as she gritted her teeth, "Tai Bai Yun Sheng, if you want to hate someone, then hate your parents. It was them who annexed my tribe and killed my parents. I want to take revenge for them!
Childhood …
"My son. You are the next tribe leader of my Tai Bai tribe! Don't cry, don't let your sympathy overflow! To survive in northern plains, we need to harden our hearts! In the future, you will lead our Tai Bai tribe. "His father reprimanded him severely.
…
"Ahhhh …" Fang Yuan screamed in pain.
In his mind, scenes flashed continuously, narrating Tai Bai Yunsheng's legendary life. Such a grand piece of information was a huge impact and damage to Fang Yuan's mind.
Fortunately, the scenes were not endless. There would be an end eventually.
After reading through Tai Bai Yunsheng's life, Fang Yuan immediately stopped his Gu worms and sat on the ground.
He breathed roughly, his whole body was covered in sweat. A long while later. His pupils regained their focus.
Soul searching was not a simple matter. Especially when Fang Yuan was worried about Tai Bai Yunsheng's safety, he did not want to harm him, thus he had to bear most of the pressure himself.
After stopping the soul search, Tai Bai Yun Sheng was still in a deep slumber. However, his originally tightly knitted brows had relaxed. His breathing was stable, his expression peaceful.
Instead, Fang Yuan's brows were slightly furrowed.
"I didn't find it!" He sighed in regret.
"Didn't find what?" In his mind, Mo Yao's will could not help but ask in confusion.
Fang Yuan's actions made her curious.
Fang Yuan did not answer her, but his frown deepened. Regarding the important plan of landscape as before Gu, how could he tell Mo Yao?
Landscape as before Gu was an Immortal Gu that Tai Bai Yunsheng obtained after he became an immortal.
Rumors said that this Gu was created when Tai Bai Yunsheng became an immortal, heaven and earth resonated with him, causing a burst of divine light.
But there was another possibility, Tai Bai Yunsheng already had the Immortal recipe of landscape as before in his mind.
If he really had the Gu recipe, then Fang Yuan could steal it, as well as river as before and mountain as before Gu, and bring them to Lang Ya blessed land, asking the Land Spirit Of Langya to refine the Immortal Gu for him.
This way, he would not need to snatch food from the tiger's mouth, and the danger would be greatly reduced.
But after Fang Yuan soul searched, the result was terrible.
Fang Yuan did not find the Immortal Gu recipe of landscape as before, this meant that the rumors were true. Landscape as before Gu was indeed obtained by Tai Bai Yunsheng when he became an immortal, heaven and earth resonated with him.
This meant that if Fang Yuan wanted to obtain this Immortal Gu, he would have to snatch it from the hands of Tai Bai Yunsheng, who had become an immortal.
Fang Yuan was not a Gu Immortal yet, in Fang Yuan's memory, there were no successful cases of fighting an immortal as a mortal, it was no doubt harder than ascending to heaven!
But what other choice did he have?
Of the three choices back then, this was already the easiest one. His time and energy were invested into this plan, although Fang Yuan did not have confidence, he could only take the risk and make preparations!
…
Outside 88 Point Zhenyang Tower, Tai Bai Yunsheng's figure appeared.
"He is out, he is out!"
"What is the result? Someone saw Tai Bai Yunsheng charge into the main hall. "
"Oh no, Lord Tai Bai Yunsheng is not moving, he seems to have fainted!"
The surrounding Gu Masters immediately gathered around.
Looking at him, everyone's expression changed. Tai Bai Yunsheng's injuries were incomparably heavy, they were secretly shocked.
"He is still breathing!" Someone stretched out his finger and checked Tai Bai Yunsheng's breathing, shouting: "Quick, who is a healing Gu Master? Who is the healing Gu Master, quickly stabilize old lord's injuries! "
"Let me, let me!"
"I am also a healing Gu Master!!"
Many healing Gu Masters took the initiative to help. Tai Bai Yunsheng's reputation and benevolence had already been deeply engraved in everyone's hearts.
Undoubtedly, he was more popular than Hei Loulan and Chang Shan Yin.
"Even Lord Tai Bai Yunsheng suffered such heavy injuries. Sigh. I am afraid our large scale attempt this time has failed. "Someone sighed.
"The time limit is over, most of the Gu Masters have not returned, the casualties this time are too severe!"
"Did anyone see Lord Gao Yang and Lord Zhu Zai come out?" Someone suddenly realized and asked.
Everyone looked around, looking at each other.
No one saw Gao Yang and Zhu Zai's figures. And in 88 Point Zhenyang Tower, that round still existed. Only that Gu Masters were not allowed to enter for a short period of time.
Everyone was very clear on what this meant.
Since 88 Point Zhenyang Tower was formed, five rank five experts had already been sacrificed.
Such heavy casualties caused the square to fall into silence.
When Tai Bai Yunsheng opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed, his body extremely weak. He could not even get up.
Seeing him open his eyes, the servant girl beside him immediately shouted in joy: "Old sir, you are awake, you are finally awake! Someone come quickly, someone come quickly, old sir is awake! "
Soon, Tai Bai Yunsheng heard a series of hurried footsteps.
A group of healing Gu Masters. They came to his side and checked his body together.
"Lord elder, don't worry, your injuries are no longer a problem. But you are old, the injuries this time are quite severe and have damaged your foundation. You need to take care of yourself in the future, especially in the next few months. Your body is weak and cannot take nourishment, you need to recuperate quietly. "The leader of the healing Gu Masters consoled him.
Tai Bai Yunsheng did not hesitate to agree to Hei Loulan's request in order to lead the group to charge through the round. He had already become an external elder of Hei tribe.
Tai Bai Yunsheng's gaze was unfocused, he had been in a daze since he woke up, but after hearing this, he recovered a trace of spirit and asked: "Where is this?"
"Returning to lord elder, this is Lady Hei Loulan's residence. Ever since lord elder failed in the round and narrowly escaped death, our clan leader has been very concerned and personally brought you here to recuperate. The servants have already reported it, I believe lord clan leader will come to see you soon. "It was still that leader who answered.
"Failed in the round and narrowly escaped death?" Tai Bai Yunsheng frowned slightly, the memories in his mind started to recover. He recalled the final scene —
He used his last trace of primeval essence to activate the defensive Gu and successfully squeezed into the main hall from the encirclement of the blood beasts.
But not long after, he fainted and lost consciousness!
When he woke up, he found himself lying in this place.
"That means, I really failed in the round?!" Tai Bai Yunsheng's tone suddenly rose, his gaze becoming extremely sharp.
"Lord elder …" The group of healing Gu Masters around the bed looked at each other, wanting to console him but unable to say anything.
Thus, they could only lower their heads.
In the room, there was silence.
Tai Bai Yunsheng's gaze stared blankly, he was silent for a while before suddenly raising his head and laughing: "Haha, so I failed. I failed at the last step, I failed at the last step! "
He could not get up, he could only use his palm to slap the side of the bed and laugh crazily.
"Lord elder, lord elder!" The healing Gu Masters panicked and quickly tried to persuade him.
"My pitiful Zhu Zai and Gao Yang, they sacrificed their lives to protect me!" Tai Bai Yunsheng's eyes were overflowing with tears, his laughter filled with grief.
"My condolences to lord elder, there is a limit to one's strength, lord elder has tried his best!"
"Lord elder, it is already a great fortune that you could come out alive."
"The dead cannot come back to life, old sir, my condolences to you …"
Everyone spoke one after another, trying to persuade him.
But these words, in Tai Bai Yunsheng's ears, were filled with sarcasm. They were like needles stabbing into his heart.
At the last moment, Tai Bai Yunsheng left behind his primeval essence and did not choose to save Zhu Zai and Gao Yang, but for himself, he activated the defensive Gu and charged into the main hall.
It was him, for his own selfish desires, he disregarded the sacrifice of his companions.
Was this still Tai Bai Yunsheng?
Was this still the publicly acknowledged and respected Tai Bai Yunsheng, the one who saved the dying and healed the injured, the one who saved people from suffering?
Why did he do this?
But at that crucial moment, he did not think at all. He chose to do this!
He purposely sacrificed Gao Yang and Zhu Zai in exchange for an opportunity, all for that fifteen year lifespan Gu reward! It was all for the sake of dragging out an ignoble existence!
This choice made Tai Bai Yunsheng feel unfamiliar with himself, he felt ashamed, he felt inferior, and he felt remorse!
Back then, he did not think or hesitate. But now, he had turned into a whip of morality, interrogating his soul and lashing his conscience!
Tai Bai Yunsheng painfully closed his eyes, clenching his fists tightly.
"Lord tribe leader has arrived —!"
"Subordinate pays respects to lord tribe leader."
Everyone in the room knelt on the ground. Hei Loulan smiled as she walked to Tai Bai Yunsheng's bedside.
Seeing Tai Bai Yunsheng's pained expression. Hei Loulan frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "Elder Tai Bai, I am very happy that you have awakened. I have already heard about the situation, you, Gao Yang, Zhu Zai and the others have displayed the bravery of our northern plains men, even though you lost, it was a glorious victory! As long as we learn from this lesson, we will definitely pass this round and turn defeat into victory. Wash away the humiliation! "
Tai Bai Yunsheng did not open his eyes, he did not speak, but showed a pained expression.
He had already understood the reason for his failure.
After he entered the main hall, he successfully escaped the encirclement of the blood beasts and fell in the main hall. But after he succeeded, he laughed wildly in joy, his mood fluctuated greatly, and with his heavy injuries, he fainted.
Passing this round. There was a time limit.
When the time was up, the unconscious Tai Bai Yunsheng was forcefully transported out like the other Gu Masters.
He was only a step away from success, but he failed because he fainted.
But such an ironic outcome was not the source of Tai Bai Yunsheng's pain!
His pain was because he had betrayed his comrades for his own selfish desires.
Was this still Tai Bai Yunsheng?
Memories flashed in his mind. Again and again.
Since young, he had always believed in the power of love.
Ever since he was a child, he had a good reputation.
When Tai Bai tribe annexed other tribes, he saw his childhood playmate facing the tragic fate of becoming a female slave. He was the one who spoke, wanting to marry her. Thus, he forgave a group of captives.
But on their wedding night, his wife betrayed him. The captives contacted enemies and attacked his tribe, causing his parents to die.
His subsequent life as a slave was filled with hardships, he had always been suffering from intense inner torment.
Finally, one day, he kindly scooped a bowl of water for an old beggar he did not know. The old beggar gave him three immortal inheritances to choose from.
The first inheritance allowed one to bathe in fire and tread on fire, looking down on the mortal world.
The second inheritance allowed one to control wind and float in the sky, roaming freely in the world.
The third inheritance allowed one to transcend life and death, helping the common people.
Tai Bai Yunsheng chose the third inheritance.
At that moment, he seemed to have found light in the darkness, his heart was no longer tormented. He had no regrets, he was reborn from the ashes!
After so many years, the old beggar's laughter still lingered in his ears.
Transcending life and death, helping the common people became his creed in life.
For the rest of his life, he really did so.
He received the gratitude of countless people, his benevolence spread far and wide, his radiance illuminated the whole of northern plains.
He was a living legend.
But now!
He failed!
His failure was not because he did not obtain lifespan Gu. It was because he betrayed his comrades, he betrayed his own creed in life!!
But all of this was done by himself without any hesitation.
He used almost his entire life to establish and practice his own creed in life. But at that moment, he destroyed this creed himself.
He saw another side of himself, his selfishness.
He had once thought that he was that person in everyone's eyes — walking in the grassland under the setting sun, helping the common people, practicing medicine to save the world.
But now, in his heart, this image was getting further and further away, he staggered along.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, his shadow became longer and longer.
