"The System?"
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered in his mind.
Silence reigned.
The System's clear answer didn't come out.
Gu Qing Shan was silently surprised.
Since when has such a thing ever happened before?
He really wanted to look into this, but he didn't have the time right now.
Ye Ying Mei was about to return.
The three Hallmasters were about to discuss how to deal with Wang Hong Dao.
If I'm late, the other two Hallmasters might be suspicious.
Gu Qing Shan's body moved as fast as he could towards the platform.
A few moments later, he arrived at the platform.
Just in time.
Ye Ying Mei had also just returned.
"These are two treasures that we've been preparing for many years, they're extremely powerful, make sure you find the right time to use them" Ye Ying Mei told him.
Saying so, she opened her hands.
Two balls of light, one red and one blue, silently hovered above her hands.
Within the red light, there was a spike as thin as a strand of hair.
Just by hovering in the air, the spike was letting out a sharp screeching noise.
The space around the spike was constantly being torn apart.
It was easy to imagine just how powerful this treasure would be once it's activated.
Inside the blue light was a crystal-clear top-grade spirit talisman.
It was a talisman carved from a top-grade spiritual jade.
Different from the red light, it didn't give off any strange aura.
As Gu Qing Shan's gaze fell on the spirit jade talisman, she couldn't help but feel a sense of security.
"This is a talisman I made, it can block one of Wang Hong Dao's attacks, which means you only have one chance to attack" Ye Ying Mei told her.
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
Ye Ying Mei's forte was talisman-crafting, the gift she gave 'Gu Qing Shan' before was a defensive talisman.
It was clear that she was quite skilled in this field.
"Alright, leave the rest to me" Gu Qing Shan said.
Ye Ying Mei hesitated.
Looking at the two powerful treasures, she was a bit reluctant to part with them.
"Ying Mei sis" Gu Qing Shan softly said, "You're only paying with your worldly possessions, but I'm putting my life on the line"
Zhao Wu Chui also sent his voice to Ye Ying Mei through inner sight: "Give it to him, even if he fails and gets killed, that's his problem, Wang Hong Dao won't find out that we were part of it"
Hearing that, Ye Ying Mei hesitated.
This was a treasure that she and Zhao Wu Chui spent a lot of time and effort to craft.
But now, this treasure was going to be given away.
Her gaze fell on the magic treasure, unwilling to look away for a moment.
At this moment, the sky suddenly turned even darker.
In an instant, the floating islands that covered the entire sky all lost their bright spiritual light.
As if they had sensed something, all the islands stopped moving.
The cultivators who were still active on the island sped up and hurried back to their rooms.
This was a rule that every sect followed.
— — To prevent spies from other sects from taking the opportunity to destroy the formation when 'Danger Hour' arrived.
On the high platform, the three Hall Masters sat motionlessly.
This was the sect's territory, different from Qi Yan's private island.
Qi Yan's private island only had a small quarantine formation.
Once 'Danger Hour' arrived, they could only stay inside the quarantine formation without moving.
While Guang Yang sect's floating island only had a quarantine formation around it.
Cultivators didn't need to specifically find a place to hide.
Even so, the expressions of the three Hall Masters also changed.
Zhao Wu Chui took out a talisman and looked at it.
The talisman had the words' Danger 'and' Fortune 'flashing on it.
Finally, the word 'Danger' took up the entire talisman.
'Danger Hour' arrived.
A heavy roar came from the ground.
This roar filled the entire world, as if announcing the death of all things.
The realm demon had awakened.
The entire world fell silent.
No living beings dared to make a single sound.
Inside the quarantine formation, Ye Ying Mei listened to the realm demon's roar.
"Something's wrong" Ye Ying Mei muttered: "Why do I feel like it woke up a bit faster this time?"
Zhao Wu Chui took out a thick stack of talismans, carefully looked through them one by one before putting them all away.
"That's right" he spoke with a very certain tone, "for the past few dozen days, it has been waking up about half an hour earlier than usual"
The two of them went silent.
The realm demon was waking up more and more frequently, faster and faster.
Will there be a day when it won't sleep anymore?
If that's the case, how are the cultivators going to face this unstoppable demon?
Without spirit stones to replenish it, the quarantine formation won't last forever.
At that time, everyone will just die.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the two of them and finally spoke: "This world will eventually come to an end, Ying Mei sis, it's time for you to give it your all"
Ye Ying Mei looked at him and felt relieved.
That's right, with the realm demon here, this world is going to end sooner or later.
Why not take this chance and give it your all?
"Since you've sworn the oath to heaven and earth, I can give it to you, but you have to remember, Wang Hong Dao has been stuck in Cryptic realm for many years, he has countless tricks up his sleeves that you can't even imagine" Ye Ying Mei said.
Zhao Wu Chui also reminded her: "Even now, I still can't say that I fully understand his true strength"
"The same goes for me" Ye Ying Mei said: "Even after so many years by his side, I still don't know how strong he really is"
"As soon as you find a chance, you have to give it your all, don't hold back, and don't have any illusions" Zhao Wu Chui continued.
Seeing how serious the two of them were, Gu Qing Shan's expression also became serious.
"Don't worry, this is related to my life and death, so I'll definitely give it my all"
Seeing his attitude, the two Hallmasters were very pleased.
Ye Ying Mei lightly raised her hand.
One blue and one red, two balls of light floated in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan carefully put the two treasures away.
"Old Zhao, there's one more thing"
"Go ahead"
"I've already collected a bit of information about Wang Hong Dao, from which I know that he grew up in a sect, he also practices the sect's Blade techniques and secret arts"
"That's true, what do you think?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Xiang Ji Hall is responsible for the sect's resources, including the sect's treasures, I want to go to Xiang Ji Hall to take a look at the secret arts that Wang Hong Dao practices"
Zhao Wu Chui hesitated.
Some of the secret arts are so powerful that Wang Hong Dao doesn't allow anyone else in the sect to look at them.
Not to mention, only Wang Hong Dao and I have a key to the sect's secret arts.
Many of them were personally chosen by Wang Hong Dao.
Do I really have to give Qi Yan the authority to look at them all now?
As a Cryptic realm cultivator, Wang Hong Dao's insight and methods are naturally not something a normal cultivator can compare to.
The secret arts that he's looking for are priceless!
While Zhao Wu Chui was hesitant, Ye Ying Mei smiled from the side.
"Old Zhao, do you still want to be a watchdog at a time like this?"
Her tone was a bit teasing.
Hearing that, Zhao Wu Chui nodded.
That's right, all of the techniques that Wang Hong Dao has collected are very difficult to understand, they are very difficult to understand.
Learning them isn't something that can be done in a day or two.
And Qi Yan is about to risk his life.
In such a short amount of time, the most he can do is learn a bit about the secret arts to better understand Wang Hong Dao's methods.
Under the current situation, Qi Yan can't learn those things right away!
Most importantly, Wang Hong Dao had already set up dozens of extremely powerful Restrictive Spells to protect himself.
Other than Wang Hong Dao, if anyone else tries to touch the jade tag, the jade tag will immediately shatter.
If Qi Yan tries to touch the jade tag and it shatters, that's fine too.
From then on, other than Wang Hong Dao, no one else will know how to control the Demon Insect Gu on his body.
That's why he doesn't need to worry about Gu Qing Shan looking at the secret arts.
Perhaps this is actually a good thing for me.
"Take it!"
Thinking it through, Zhao Wu Chui took out a seal and threw it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan caught the seal and held it in her hand.
"That's more like it, old Zhao, the more I understand Wang Hong Dao, the more confident I'll be in killing him"
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said.
Ye Ying Mei told him: "You have to carefully look at those techniques. Although Wang Hong Dao is an expert with the Blade, he also likes to study corpse-type techniques. In the past few years, he's already grasped many powerful corpse-type techniques"
"Don't worry, I'll look at them very carefully" Gu Qing Shan said.
He then turned around: "Gu Qing Shan"
"Your disciple is here"
Shannu stepped forward and answered.
Gu Qing Shan ordered: "Since you've reached Sainted realm, come with your master and pick out a few sword techniques"
Sword techniques?
Zhao Wu Chui muttered to himself and couldn't help but stop her: "Wang Hong Dao doesn't know any sword techniques, he's a Blade user"
"There's no harm in looking at them, there's nothing to lose, it'll at least broaden his horizons" Gu Qing Shan said.
Shannu immediately replied: "Your disciple will follow your words, Master"
Gu Qing Shan then brought 'Gu Qing Shan' with her and left without looking back.
Zhao Wu Chui still wanted to say something, but the master and disciple pair had already left the platform and went far away.
— — seems like they don't want to listen to anything I say.
