"You're waiting for me?
That's strange.
Didn't you and Ke Jiuji do so many things just to delay me?
You're delaying me and waiting for me at the same time?
Don't you think you're very contradictory? "
The Pagoda Master stared coldly at Young Hero Ke.
Gu Xuan also looked at Young Hero Ke with interest.
This Perfect Earthly Immortal Emperor was definitely not a good person. Gu Xuan understood this better than anyone else present.
Now that he suddenly put on such a smile, there were only two possibilities.
Either he was plotting against the Pagoda lineage.
Or he wanted to cooperate.
The Pagoda Master's sarcasm did not reduce the smile on Young Hero Ke's face.
"That was then and this is now.
When I was ahead of you, I naturally didn't want you to catch up.
But now, the situation is different.
I won't say any more nonsense. Come and take a look, and you'll know. "
Young Hero Ke gestured for the Pagoda Master to enter the courtyard.
The Pagoda Master snorted coldly. He had no intention of showing weakness and swaggered into the courtyard.
Elder Fenglei, Elder Liu Ju, and the others wanted to remind the Pagoda Master to be careful of the ambush. Unfortunately, they knew that the Pagoda Master would ignore them even if they did.
Since Young Hero Ke dared to "invite" him, he dared to go. Who was afraid of who?
This time, Gu Xuan did not think that the Pagoda Master was reckless.
In this place, even the power of the soul could only be released a hundred feet away.
The courtyard in front of them was a few hundred feet wide. It was not an exaggeration to call it a garden.
With such a large area, there was no other way to investigate everything in the courtyard other than walking in.
They might as well go in and fuss over Young Hero Ke's attitude. What was the point of being so ambiguous?
They might as well walk in openly.
The courtyard had obviously been deserted for a long time. It was full of weeds, and even the paved bluestone path was completely covered by weeds.
In the distance, fake mountains and rivers could be faintly seen.
There were many small low-level beasts running around in the courtyard, adding a touch of vitality to this deserted courtyard.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was only half a withered giant tree without any branches or leaves. The trunk was so thick that it would take at least ten people to wrap their arms around it.
At this moment, the saints of the Nine Poisons Valley were gathered beside the giant tree with grave expressions.
Ke Xiaodu and a thin man were like stars surrounding the moon, constantly being protected in the middle.
There was a dense smell of blood in the surroundings of the saints.
"A corpse?
There were actually over thirty corpses?
There are even a few peak stage saint corpses! "
Gu Xuan's pupils shrank.
Even the Pagoda Master's expression changed slightly. He no longer dared to let his guard down, and raised his vigilance to a hundred percent.
The elders and disciples of the Ancient Pagoda Lineage had grim expressions on their faces. They had already formed a battle formation and were on high alert. They did not dare to be careless.
Gu Xuan's soul power was also released instantly, monitoring the area within a radius of ten feet, not letting go of a single blade of grass or tree.
"What the hell is going on?
After the Nine Poisons Valley absorbed the Hundred Cities Alliance's saints, the number of saints was as much as 60 to 70.
Among them, there were over a dozen peak saints.
In addition to Young Hero Ke, who was a Perfection Stage expert, what kind of huge force was this?
But now, there were so many saint corpses lying on the ground. This also meant that even Young Hero Ke was unable to prevent the deaths of his subordinates! What exactly is the enemy?
How strong is it?
Could it be that the other tomb keepers have also come here? "
Gu Xuan's mind was filled with thoughts as he pondered over the reason for this tragic situation.
Young Hero Ke had already walked to Ke Xiaodu's side. He glanced at the giant withered tree trunk, turned around, and looked at the Pagoda Master.
"Now, you should have guessed why I greeted you with a smile, right?
Because we need to temporarily put aside our previous grudges and join forces first! Otherwise, no one can enter the third level of the sword tomb! You and your men can take a look first. "
Young Hero Ke stared at the Pagoda Master with a burning gaze.
The Pagoda Master's breathing quickened as he quickly walked forward.
Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with a bright light as he followed the Pagoda Master and quickly approached the giant withered tree trunk.
The meaning of Young Hero Ke's words was very obvious.
The breakthrough to enter the third level of the sword tomb was on this giant withered tree trunk! Elder Feng Lei and the others stood a few steps behind, maintaining a certain distance from the Nine Poison Valley martial artists beside the tree trunk.
Even if the possibility of the scene in front of them being a conspiracy of the Nine Poison Valley was very low, they still had to be on guard.
In front of the tree trunk.
The Pagoda Master carefully explored and couldn't help but frown. Obviously, he didn't find any mysteries.
As a matter of fact, he had already carefully explored the courtyard a hundred thousand years ago.
This giant withered tree trunk was located in the center of the courtyard. It was so conspicuous that it was naturally the target of his exploration.
Unfortunately, he didn't find anything at that time.
And now, the Pagoda Master didn't think that he could see anything with just normal observation methods.
He turned his gaze to Gu Xuan.
In terms of insight, Gu Xuan was probably above him. Moreover, he was proficient in many things. Perhaps he would gain something.
Gu Xuan also observed for a while, but he didn't find anything.
Just as he was frowning, he suddenly noticed that two mocking gazes had fallen on him.
Raising his head, he discovered that the owner of those two gazes was Ke Xiaodu! When Gu Xuan first came to the sword tomb, he had fought with Ke Xiaodu. If he didn't have a rather heaven-defying life-saving treasure, he should be dead now.
It was also because of this that Ke Xiaodu and him had always been on bad terms.
Of course, this was one-sided.
Ke Xiaodu had always regarded Gu Xuan as a formidable opponent.
And Gu Xuan didn't treat Ke Xiaodu as an enemy.
After all, no mammoth would treat an ant as an enemy.
In Gu Xuan's eyes, Ke Xiaodu was just an ant.
Gu Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly. There seemed to be a familiar energy fluctuation on Ke Xiaodu's body. It was very subtle, but it was indeed there! Not only Ke Xiaodu, but the thin man beside him also had it! Gu Xuan propped up his chin and pondered.
"It seems that you are highly regarded by the Pagoda Master?
Even Elder Feng Lei and the others are waiting behind, but you are walking side by side with the Pagoda Master?
Unfortunately, it's useless to walk over. The mystery on this tree trunk isn't something a mere mid-level saint like you can discover.
Get lost, you idiot who can't discover anything! "
Ke Xiaodu mocked.
Beside Ke Xiaodu, that thin man also revealed a contemptuous expression.
"Young Master is right. Kid, I know you have the ability to jump ranks to battle.
But your insignificant cultivation is still not enough to get involved in the matters here.
The mystery on this tree trunk is something trash can't see.
Get lost, trash! "
This thin man was once a peak stage saint of the Hundred Cities Alliance. Gu Xuan remembered his face, but he didn't expect that after this guy joined the Nine Poisons Valley, he actually went to flatter Ke Xiaodu so shamelessly.
It was simply a disgrace to his grandmother's house.
Hearing these two people's mocking words, Gu Xuan just smiled lightly and didn't seem to mind at all.
But the Pagoda Master's heart was burning with raging fury.
What did these two guys mean?
Scolding the locust indirectly?
If you can't see the secret on the tree trunk, you are trash?
This wasn't just scolding Gu Xuan, but also scolding himself! Preposterous! Of course, the Pagoda Master couldn't say these words. Otherwise, the one who would lose face wouldn't be Ke Xiaodu and that thin man, but him! On the surface, Gu Xuan was just a mid-level saint. It was normal that he couldn't see the mystery hidden on the tree trunk.
And he, the Pagoda Master, was a dignified perfection stage expert! If he couldn't see it, how could it be justified?
Therefore, even if the Pagoda Master had anger in his heart, he could only reveal a smile on his face.
"Gu Xuan, the mystery on this tree trunk is so simple. I can see it with a glance.
As my ancient pagoda lineage's guest elder, you are my most valued right-hand man. I presume that you can see it with two glances at most, right?
Don't hide it and let people look down on you.
Let these two brats see what you're capable of! "
The Pagoda Master had a calm and composed appearance as if he really saw the mystery on the tree trunk long ago, causing the Nine Poisons Valley people to roll their eyes.
"Oh, so you have already become the ancient pagoda lineage's guest elder?
Truly disrespectful! Is there no one else in the ancient pagoda lineage?
A mid-level saint can also be a guest elder. Then can't I, Ke Xiaodu, be an elder? "
Ke Xiaodu laughed heartily and laughed very savagely. "Lord guest elder, why haven't you said anything?
If you saw something, just say it. It doesn't matter if you are wrong. Anyway, I will tell you in the end.
Why, you can't say it?
Then you really are a complete and utter trash of a guest elder! If even a dignified guest elder is so trash, then the others, I am afraid … Ah, sorry, forgive me for speaking without thinking. I believe that the ancient pagoda lineage isn't all trash. There must be someone who can see the mystery on this tree trunk.
Is there anyone who can help your Honorable Guest Elder?
It can't be that the entire ancient pagoda lineage is that thing, right?
That is really … Hahaha! "
Ke Xiaodu didn't finish his words. This last laugh caused the Nine Poisons Valley people to all laugh.
This laughter was extremely ear-piercing when it landed in the ears of the ancient pagoda lineage.
Ke Xiaodu was obviously deliberately humiliating the ancient pagoda lineage! The fury in the Pagoda Master's heart was almost unable to be suppressed.
Everyone's gaze landed on Gu Xuan. Whether or not they could protect the ancient pagoda lineage's dignity, it would all depend on you! Gu Xuan shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Looks like he was going to pretend for sure!
