Gu Xuan looked in surprise at the fat one-horned bird, which was almost the same height as the fat one-horned bird when it stood up.
This guy was really as fat as a ball. How short were its legs?
However, what was going on?
He was doing something else. Who had the time to think about how to deal with you?
Gu Xuan ignored the fat one-horned bird for the time being and continued to sense the situation in the tomb.
This time, the sensing was much clearer than the last time.
The fight between the Tower Master and Young Hero Ke had reached its climax.
Moreover, the Tower Master had the upper hand.
Young Hero Ke had already put on a desperate posture. Presumably, when he was at the end of his rope, he would use his most deeply hidden poison skills.
Before he went to the fourth level, he had reminded the Tower Master that Young Hero Ke knew poison skills.
The Tower Master must have had some misgivings about this, so he did not use his full strength. Every time he attacked, he left some room for maneuver, in case Young Hero Ke suddenly used his poison skills to counterattack.
In this way, although it would take a longer time to defeat Young Hero Ke, at least the Tower Master's safety was greatly guaranteed.
It was not an exaggeration to say that victory was in his grasp.
Gu Xuan was immediately relieved. It would not be too late to find the Tower Master after he dealt with the fat one-horned bird, and then he would deal with the Tower Master.
Gu Xuan looked at the trembling fat one-horned bird in front of him, and he began to think about how to deal with it.
In fact, there was no life-and-death battle between him and the fat one-horned bird.
If they really fought, it would be troublesome to deal with it.
Moreover, Gu Xuan knew that the fat one-horned bird did not accept him at all and did not really acknowledge his strength.
What it was afraid of was the Young Master Token in his hand and the power to appoint the guardians of the first five levels.
Although this fellow was temporarily a challenger, it was clear that it still wanted to return to the fourth checkpoint and become the guardian.
The guardian of the levels in the core of the Fairy Burial Palace was well paid, and the fat one-horned bird certainly did not want to lose this lucrative job.
It seemed that it was begging for mercy, but in fact, it did not know that the situation had reached such a critical point.
Therefore, the fat one-horned bird was actually showing its loyalty to him and was ready to see his reaction.
Its ultimate goal was that it hoped that he would let it continue to be the guardian of the fourth checkpoint.
It would be fine if he took advantage of the situation and went down the stairs. However, if he didn't and forced this fellow into a corner, it might really go all out.
In the mortal world, there was a saying that cutting off someone's wealth was akin to killing their parents.
As a martial artist, how could Gu Xuan not understand this sort of logic?
Gu Xuan didn't want to complicate matters, especially since he already had full confidence in leaving the Sword Tomb.
However, it was clear that the one-horned fat bird was more amenable to force than persuasion. He still had to act tough.
After pondering for a moment, Gu Xuan stared at the one-horned fat bird and snorted coldly.
"You've always been my enemy?
What was the point of begging for mercy now?
Don't worry, I won't kill you, but I will banish you to the first three levels of the palace. Of course, it won't be as the guardian of the levels.
Good luck to you! "
Gu Xuan held the Young Master Token in his right hand and injected some energy into it. The Young Master Token shone with a mysterious light.
The moment the one-horned fat bird saw Gu Xuan's stance, it immediately became anxious.
It was a person bound by the palace. Only by continuing to be the guardian could it obtain a monthly salary and have the qualifications to continue cultivating.
If it was banished to the real space inside the palace, it would have nothing.
Once the medicinal pills on it were depleted, even survival would become a problem, let alone cultivation.
"Lord Young Master, don't! I already know my mistake. From now on, I'm willing to listen to Lord Young Master's orders. Your Excellency, please let me continue to guard the fourth checkpoint! Otherwise, I won't be able to live … sniff sniff … "The one-horned fat bird wailed loudly, crying until its plump feathers trembled.
The corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitched a few times.
This one-horned fat bird was really good at acting. But this move only worked on your own kind, alright?
Gu Xuan said coolly, "Me not making things difficult for you is already the greatest benevolence.
You actually still want to continue being the guardian of the fourth checkpoint?
Do you really think that you don't have to pay the price for doing something wrong? "
In the one-horned fat bird's eyes, bean-sized teardrops fell down like they were free.
"Your Excellency, you can punish me however you want. But, you can't give me the position of the guardian of the fourth checkpoint.
Just take pity on me, this fat ball. Being so fat is already very tragic.
In here, not being a guardian, no matter how long one's lifespan is, it's equivalent to having no lifespan. One can only wait for death.
Your Excellency, you're a kind-hearted person. You can't be so heartless.
I don't want to die. When you become the master of this palace in the future, I still want to continue to serve you to the death! "
The one-horned fat bird cried very miserably.
This was already revealing its true feelings.
Gu Xuan chuckled. He did not believe that an exalted grand completion would cry like this.
But, he knew when to stop.
"Humph! Since you want to continue being a guardian, you have to show some sincerity, right?
Want to serve me to the death, this kind of empty promise, don't say it.
How about this, a hundred ninth-grade pills, take it as compensation for wasting my time.
You have to know, this young master's time is very precious! "
Gu Xuan directly demanded an exorbitant price.
The one-horned fat bird was stunned. This was too big of an appetite.
"A hundred ninth-grade pills?
This … this … "" If you don't want to, then go to the real space. "
Gu Xuan waved the shining Young Master Token.
The one-horned fat bird was so scared that it trembled.
"I do!"
It hurriedly took out a hundred ninth-grade pills from its space ring, held them with its wings, and handed them to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan casually glanced at them and confirmed that these hundred ninth-grade pills were all real and of good quality.
With a wave of his right hand, he put the pills into the space ring.
"Now, you can continue to the fourth level and continue to be a guardian.
Remember what you said just now, you have to serve me to the death.
In the future, when I need you to serve me to the death, I will come to you, haha! "
Gu Xuan waved the Young Master Token in his hand. A ray of light fell on the one-horned fat bird, sending it back to the fourth level.
"Now, go to the real space in the core of the Fairy Burial Palace."
Gu Xuan's mind moved, and a ray of spacetime energy had already enveloped himself.
In the next moment, he disappeared from the forest.
By the time he reappeared, he was already in a space that was like chaos.
He could not see anything clearly around him.
Gu Xuan had already sensed the situation here, and he knew that this was an illusion left behind by Thorn Jiyue.
"Thorn Jiyue is dead, but the illusion he left behind is still here."
Gu Xuan smiled disdainfully.
"Illusion, disperse!"
With a light wave of the token in his hand, the chaotic space returned to normal with Gu Xuan as the center.
On a martial arts stage.
The people of the Ancient Pagoda Branch were in a defensive battle formation, vigilant of everything outside the martial arts stage.
The chaotic space outside made them completely unaware of the situation outside, so they could only be vigilant at all times.
Suddenly, they realized that the space around them was returning to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Thorn Jiyue's trick has lost its effect!"
"It must be Guest Elder Gu Xuan. He defeated Thorn Jiyue!"
"As expected of Guest Elder Gu Xuan. Amazing!"
The elders and disciples of the Ancient Pagoda Branch were excited.
Since Gu Xuan had defeated Thorn Jiyue, it meant that they might be able to leave the Sword Tomb soon.
At this moment, Gu Xuan had already sensed through the Young Master Token and arrived in front of a three-story pavilion.
"If there really is a treasure vault, it should be here!"
Gu Xuan looked at the pavilion and smiled confidently.
The pavilion seemed to only have three stories.
However, when Gu Xuan sensed this place with the Young Master Token, there were nine stories in total!
