Sneak Attack in the Middle of the Night
Gu Xuan and Elder Zi walked out of the room.
The courtyard was already filled with herbmen and handymen.
They looked up at the sky excitedly and sighed.
Gu Xuan looked in the direction of the Flame Tower. The sound came from there.
"Five Thunder Drums. This means that five people have passed the assessment and become inner disciples at the Flame Tower. It's a meteoric rise!"
"Look, that huge airship is flying over. Isn't that Senior Martial Brother Liu Yan standing at the front of it? Those five new inner disciples must be Senior Brother Liu Yan's Junior Brothers. They'll become members of the Medicine Hall! "
Gu Xuan said, "Looks like they're the five King Stage experts who came with us today. The Number One Sect in the World is indeed the number one sect in the world. Even if it's just a branch of the Taoist Sect, it's still so bold. A King Stage expert can only become an inner disciple after passing the assessment. "
In the outside world, such as the Great Wilderness Dynasty, a King Stage expert's status was not even comparable to that of a direct descendant of the imperial family.
A King Stage expert already had the strength to dominate a region. If they chose to join any sect, they would be warmly welcomed and would have all the status and power they wanted.
However, in the Xuan Sect, a King Stage expert had to pass the assessment if he wanted to join. At most, he could only start as an inner disciple.
Not long after, the airship flew across the sky. The five King Stage experts stood on the airship excitedly. Their eyes were full of surprise as they glanced down.
Liu Yan was surrounded by the five people and spoke with assurance.
Gu Xuan smiled and did not pay too much attention to this matter. It was only five King Stage experts. With his current combat strength, he could kill one of them with a finger.
"Let's go in and plan. Tomorrow night, we'll explore the Xuan Sect. We'll take as many pills and treasures as we can," Gu Xuan said telepathically.
Although Elder Zi already knew about Gu Xuan's plan, he could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard it from Gu Xuan again.
What kind of crazy person would want to take advantage of a branch of the Taoist Sect, the number one sect in the world?
Even in this branch sect, there were probably no less than 10 Rulers guarding it. Those who dared to have ideas about the Celestial Sect were either lunatics or had something to rely on.
Based on Elder Zi's understanding of Gu Xuan, Gu Xuan was rough but meticulous. He seemed arrogant and conceited, but every move he made was carefully thought out. No matter how unexpected it seemed, he would definitely succeed in the end. Therefore, Elder Zi believed that Gu Xuan was definitely a madman!
The two of them turned around and prepared to enter the house. However, after taking one step, Gu Xuan stopped. He suddenly turned around and looked at the flying boat in the sky.
Just a moment ago, he had sensed something, and sent his soul power out of his body to scan the flying boat. In an instant, everything changed.
On the flying boat, Liu Yan was still surrounded like a moon surrounded by stars. The five Kings were still excited and pleasantly surprised.
Everything was still the same!
There didn't seem to be any changes.
However, the corners of Gu Xuan's mouth curled up as he looked at the five King level experts. A playful smile flashed across his face.
Elder Zi was deep in thought. He asked, "What did you find?"
Gu Xuan entered the house, closed the door, and set up an isolation restriction.
"Haha, it's really interesting. Those five Kings are fake. Their strength is not as simple as that of a King level expert! The four of them are all at the peak of the Grandmaster level, and one of them is even an Emperor level warrior. "Gu Xuan said playfully.
Elder Zi's face changed slightly. He said, "Such people actually pretended to be Kings to join the Xuan Sect. This is not simple. Moreover, their disguise was flawless. I didn't find any clues. How did you find out? "
Gu Xuan smiled. "Their appearance can be flawless, but their soul power can't."
"I see. However, in this way, we seem to have fallen into a huge whirlpool." Elder Zi frowned.
Gu Xuan said, "The bigger the whirlpool, the better. The more exaggerated the chaos, the better. Otherwise, how can we fish in troubled waters? Tonight, we should keep a low profile. Don't act rashly. Let's rest for the night and act tomorrow night. "
Elder Zi nodded. "That's the only way."
Elder Zi returned to his own room.
In the middle of the night, Gu Xuan was meditating and cultivating. Suddenly, a puff of green smoke blew in through the crack of the door.
Gu Xuan didn't move, as if he didn't find anything unusual.
Creak.
The door was gently opened, and a well-dressed young man walked in. It was Yun Qiu, who had extorted a thousand Condensing Fire Pills from Gu Xuan.
"Gu Dao, stop pretending. Although you've been hit by my smoke, it will only cause your meridians to become chaotic. It won't make you unconscious." Yun Qiu sneered.
Gu Xuan opened his eyes. His face was expressionless. He said, "I've already given you a thousand Condensing Fire Pills. Why are you still here?"
Yun Qiu laughed. "Originally, you only needed to contribute a small amount of Condensing Fire Pills to join the Soaring Sky Alliance. However, you don't know what's good for you. You want to send me off with a thousand Condensing Fire Pills? Dream on! You took out a thousand Condensing Fire Pills without even blinking. It seems that you must have been quite wealthy before you became a Medicine Man. "
Gu Xuan said, "So what?"
Yun Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Xuan admit it. He threatened, "Yes. Then hand over all your pills and treasures. If I'm satisfied, I'll guarantee that you'll get a place in the outer disciple exam within a year."
Gu Xuan sneered, "Don't insult my intelligence if you're stupid. Sneaking into my residence in the middle of the night, drugging me and threatening me. You're waiting for me to hand over my pills and treasures so that you can kill me silently, right?"
Yun Qiu was speechless. Gu Dao had seen through everything.
"Hmph. Since you've seen through it, then hand over everything yourself. I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, I have a hundred ways to torture you so that you won't even be able to commit suicide. You'll only be able to endure it until your mind collapses!" Yun Qiu revealed his ferocious side.
At some unknown time, a small snake had appeared in his left hand. It spat out black mist, and it was clear that it was a highly toxic creature.
"Make me wish I was dead? Just based on your Nine Poison Gu Snake? What a joke! "Gu Xuan's eyes flashed with killing intent.
"Stubborn. I'll cripple your arms and legs first. Then I'll see if you're still so stubborn!" Yun Qiu sneered and approached Gu Xuan. He used his right hand as a knife and slashed towards Gu Xuan.
A gust of wind blew. This palm blade was simple, but it fully displayed Yun Qiu's strength as a peak Xuan Rank expert.
His strength was in the top three among the medicine men. Including all the servant disciples, he was in the top ten. He had the qualifications to enter the outer sect.
Yun Qiu believed that Gu Xuan's arms and legs would be broken. There was no way he could survive!
Gu Xuan did not move. It was as if he was drugged and could not use the power of the flames. He could only be slaughtered.
Bang!
The knife landed on Gu Xuan's shoulder. The force was strong enough to split stone. However, Gu Xuan was unharmed.
"How … How … How is this possible?" Yun Qiu gasped.
He was very clear about his strength. Even if a peak Profound Grade martial artist was on guard, he would be severely injured. But how could Gu Xuan be unharmed?
Unless he wasn't a Profound Grade martial artist!
Gu Xuan sneered and pointed his finger. With a crack, Yun Qiu's right arm was broken. Blood spurted out.
