Gu Xuan was meditating on the roof of a pavilion. Ordinary people would not be able to see him.
However, Gu Xuan did not think of hiding it from Li Yuanhao.
After all, they were master and disciple now, and this was the Li Clan.
As the master of the Li Clan's Patriarch, it was not appropriate for him to hide in the Li Clan so well that even the Patriarch could not find him.
However, Gu Xuan regretted it now.
From the moment Li Yuanhao pulled that group of cultivators out of the dungeon and flew in his direction, Gu Xuan realized that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, things had already come to this. Even if things were not good, he had to brace himself and hold on.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Li Yuanhao stood in front of Gu Xuan and shook the chains in his hands.
Gu Xuan smiled and opened his eyes. He looked at Li Yuanhao with a calm expression as if a dead pig wasn't afraid of boiling water. Oh, no, he looked at Li Yuanhao.
At the same time, he glanced at the nine cultivators from the corner of his eyes.
The nine cultivators were all dejected. Their auras were weak, and they were covered in wounds. Their eyes were still cloudy. They were not fully awake yet.
Clearly, they had suffered a lot.
Li Yuanhao grabbed a cultivator's collar and pulled him in front of him.
"Master, take a look. What is this?
I never expected that other than the Heavenly Law Faction, your Ying Tian Sect had the most spies in my clan.
There were nine of them. One of them was even an elder of my clan who was in charge of distributing elixir resources.
I searched his house. My goodness, just the elixir recipes of my Li Clan alone were thirty-six copies! Of these nine people, five of them were members of my Li Clan.
The other four were people who killed my Li Clan's people and impersonated them.
This one was the most excessive. Not only did he impersonate someone, but he even had a dozen children! What was the meaning of this?
Did he think that the women of my Li Clan were pigs?
Now, the crowd was furious. The elders in charge of the interrogation in the dungeon all strongly demanded that the nine of them be killed.
However, I thought about it. After all, they are your Ying Tian Sect's people now. It is not appropriate to kill them like this.
Master, what do you think I should do? "
Li Yuanhao looked heartbroken, as if he had been betrayed by his master. He stood on the moral high ground and spat at Gu Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged, as if he wanted to drown Gu Xuan with his saliva.
At this moment, in the dungeon, the group of clan elders that Li Yuanhao had said were furious were pacing back and forth with serious expressions on their faces.
"There are only nine spies left and right. Now, they can be considered as one of us.
If the Clan Head went to denounce him in such a threatening manner, he was afraid that it would hurt the harmony between the master and disciple.
Why don't we go and persuade him? "
The third elder's expression was somewhat conflicted.
This was the third time he had asked this question.
However, no one responded.
Everyone was at a loss.
He was afraid that if he offended the Li Clan Head, his future in the Li Clan would be bleak.
If he did not persuade the Clan Head, he was afraid that the Clan Head would offend Gu Xuan.
He couldn't offend Gu Xuan.
Anyone who had offended Gu Xuan, be it the Heavenly Law Faction, the Zhongyuan Region, or even their Li family, had never had a good ending! Furthermore, not even once! After some time, Li Yuanjie mustered up his courage and said carefully, "It's better if we don't go out! This matter between the master and disciple should be settled by the two of them.
In this matter, there is no Ying Tian Sect, no Li Clan, only a pair of master and disciple.
How can we, outsiders, intervene in the matters between the master and disciple? "
These words made the eyes of all the clan elders in charge of the interrogation light up.
They couldn't help but look at Li Yuanjie in a new light.
This guy, although his status wasn't high, and he usually followed Li Yuanxiao like a sycophant, at the critical moment, he actually had such wisdom.
Among those present, Li Yuanjie's status was the lowest, and he was the youngest. Unexpectedly, everyone was conflicted and worried about nothing. They were not as clear-headed as this kid.
The third elder patted Li Yuanjie's shoulder heavily.
"Kid, you're right. Great! We should drink tea and deal with the aftermath.
Remember that the nine people are spies. Oh, no, the news that they are from Ying Tian Sect must be buried in your stomach.
Whether they are dead or alive, whether they will stay in the Li Clan.
In short, they are not on the list of spies.
When you see them, go on as usual. If you want to call them brothers, continue to call them brothers. If you don't like them, continue to dislike them! "
Li Yuanjie was flattered by the third elder's affectionate patting on the shoulder. He quickly bowed and cupped his hands toward the third elder.
"Third elder, you flatter me. I'm just a kid. I just said it casually."
The third elder laughed, and the others laughed as well.
For a moment, the dark dungeon was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
At the top of the pavilion where Gu Xuan was.
He looked at Li Yuanhao, whose saliva was flying in front of him. He wiped the non-existent saliva off his face, stood up, and waved his right hand.
Slap, slap, slap.
Nine crisp slaps fell on the faces of the nine martial artists.
"You nine idiots. You were discovered as spies. You're useless! Disciple, how did these nine people confess?
If they couldn't withstand the torture, drag them out and chop them all! "
Gu Xuan tried to change the topic.
Li Yuanhao chuckled. He guessed Gu Xuan's thoughts, but he didn't expose him. He said proudly, "Torture is just a child's play. I only got a few spies sent by small forces.
In terms of stubbornness, you nine people are even more stubborn than those from the Tian Dao camp.
I'm really curious. Look at these five people. They are all from the Li Clan. Since they are so stubborn, how did Ying Tianzong instigate them to defect?
Unfortunately, no matter how stubborn they are, they can't resist the Li Clan's Phantom Heart Pill.
After taking one pill, they would have many illusions. It made them think that they had returned to Ying Tianzong and met their superior, the one they called the Elder of Martial Arts.
After that, didn't they say whatever they were asked?
In the end, Ying Tianzong was too merciful. Like those from the Tian Dao camp, when they said something they couldn't say, the restriction in their bodies would be activated. Even their souls would be burned into nothingness. Not even half of them were left alive. "
Gu Xuan nodded and said earnestly, "So it was the Ninth Stage Phantom Heart Pill. No wonder they couldn't hold on.
The most troublesome thing in the world is illusions.
Disciple, you must remember to improve your willpower. Otherwise, you will suffer sooner or later.
I just happen to have a set of martial arts here that can improve … "" Cough cough! "
Li Yuanhao narrowed his eyes.
"Master, don't change the topic.
The other spies are all dead. Logically, these nine people should be killed on the spot. Especially these five from the Li Clan who were instigated to defect. Burying them alive is not excessive.
However, we were enemies in the past. It is reasonable for the Li Clan to have a few spies from Ying Tianzong.
But no matter how reasonable it is, I still have to give an explanation to the clan elders and all the Li Clan members.
I only brought these nine people here for you to deal with because of your face. You have to at least show some appreciation, right? "
When Li Yuanhao finished speaking, he decided not to beat around the bush and get straight to the point.
Otherwise, if he beat around the bush, Gu Xuan would beat around the bush again. They would have to beat around the bush until tomorrow.
Gu Xuan chuckled and said passionately, "Helping my disciple is something I should do.
What does it matter if these nine people are here or not?
If there is anything you need Master to help you with, just tell me! "
Li Yuanhao's right hand loosened. With a few cracking sounds, the chains tied to the bodies of the nine martial artists turned into dust that filled the air.
He cupped his hands towards Gu Xuan.
"Master, I want to advance to Consummation as fast as possible! It would be best if I could do it in three to five days! Please help me, Master! "
Li Yuanhao thought about many things, such as getting Gu Xuan to help the Li Clan build a super protective array.
However, after thinking about it, no matter how strong the Li Clan's defenses became, it would not be as safe as him, the Clan Head, advancing to Consummation.
He had tried to advance to Consummation with his own strength.
However, it was impossible.
His heart was in a mess.
He was not even as strong as he was before the three factions attacked the Li Clan.
In these troubled times, it would be too difficult for him to make a breakthrough! Furthermore, even if he could rely on his own strength to undergo the heavenly tribulation, he could not bear the risk of failure.
He could not die! It was not that he feared death but that the Li Clan could not afford to lose him. Hence, he needed someone to protect him. If he failed, that person could save his life.
Otherwise, he would not have the courage to advance.
Right now, the only person who had the ability to protect him and was trusted by him was Gu Xuan.
