One by one, the powerful Soul Hunters flew past the dying Daoist. They did not even look at him as they landed on the mountain peak that had collapsed.
Gu Xuan's corpse was there.
Although the Dying Daoist had used the Soul Attack on Gu Xuan and killed him, no matter how powerful the Dying Daoist's Soul Attack was, it couldn't destroy Gu Xuan's soul completely.
Even if there was only a tiny bit of it left, it would still be a target for them.
The black-robed youth coldly stared down with an undetectable smirk on his face.
"Hmph! A mere half-step True Emperor is worthy of being one of the eight Saint Children of Middle Yuan Region? Did those old geezers eat the wrong medicine? "
The black-robed young man thought to himself.
"That's good, Gu Xuan's soul was attacked and only a remnant soul is left. Those old geezers won't mention this matter again no matter how much they want to recruit Gu Xuan."
A hint of pride flashed in the youth's eyes.
According to the old geezers' orders, he had to save Gu Xuan or at least ensure that his soul wasn't damaged.
He did have the chance to help earlier.
However, he didn't want to save Gu Xuan. Even he coveted the position of Saint Child.
Now that the Holy Son, Shui Wuque, had fallen, someone had to step up and take his place.
Keep the goodies within the family. Even if such a good thing didn't fall into his lap, it definitely couldn't fall into the lap of an outsider.
Especially after seeing that Gu Xuan was a half-step True Emperor and was basically a cripple, the youth didn't want to save him.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had to report back, he would've skipped the step of searching for Gu Xuan's remnant soul.
"Hmm?"
While the black-robed youth was deep in thought, he suddenly felt an angry gaze.
There was no doubt that it was the dying daoist's gaze.
"Why are you still here? Soul Hunters like us are not interested in living half-step Saints. Know your place and scram. Otherwise, I don't mind turning you into something we're interested in! "
The black-robed young man stared coldly at the dying Daoist. His eyes were filled with disdain.
The dying daoist was fuming with anger. He lifted his head and pointed at the youth while cursing.
"Preposterous! Preposterous, a brat like you dares to be so rude to me?! Your Middle Yuan Region might be strong but you're pretty capable. You're not even fully grown yet you dare to boast so shamelessly?
Release the soul of that half-saint from the Dao Gate and I'll pretend that nothing happened today.
Otherwise, I won't let this go! "
The youth sneered. In his eyes, Sunset Daoist was only a clown....
Apart from the people of the Central Yuan Region, who would know how powerful the Central Yuan Region was?
At the very least, the so-called Daoist Sect did not know about it, and neither did the so-called Daoist Sect Grand Elder.
. Sunset Daoist wouldn't have the guts to say such words...
The black-robed youth looked down at the dying Daoist and raised his right hand.
"Since you are so stubborn, then I don't need to be polite with you. ... to me..............
As soon as his voice fell, the black-robed young man's right hand bloomed with golden light.
After that, a beam of light that was as thick as a finger shot out, and it shot directly towards Daoist Twilight's heart!
"Brat, forget it. Since you don't want to be courteous with me, I won't give face to the Middle Yuan Region. If you want to die, bring it on! "
Although the beam of light was extremely fast, Sunset Daoist didn't think much of it.
His figure flashed as he moved forward to meet the attack. He raised his hand and punched out, causing the space around him to distort.
Boom!
The fist collided with the light beam, and an explosion resounded. Sunset Daoist let out a muffled groan, and his body fell for a distance of a thousand feet before he could stabilize his body.
His right fist had exploded and blood was spurting everywhere.
The youth in the black robe was still standing in the air motionlessly. He stared at Sunset Daoist as though he was looking at a fool.
"You dare to fight me with your strength? What a joke! "
The youth in the black robe shook his head and chuckled.
Sunset Daoist's face turned grave.
"You don't cultivate fire. You're not from the Burning Sky Continent?"
The youth in the black robe shook his head again.
"Who said the people of the Burning Sky Continent must cultivate fire? You're a frog in a well. How ridiculous! "
Sunset Daoist's eyes flickered with astonishment.
"That kid's attack just now was of the metal attribute, one of the five elements. It's my first time encountering such an enemy. It's better for me to retreat. "
Sunset Daoist pondered for a moment before he decided to retreat.
However, at this moment, a cold voice of a black-robed man could be heard.
"Senior Brother Jin Zheng, we didn't find Gu Xuan's soul fragment, and we didn't find Gu Xuan's body either!"
Sunset Daoist and the youth in the black robe were startled upon hearing this.
"How is that possible? I sealed Gu Xuan's soul and killed him with my own hands. I saw him fall into the mountain with my own eyes. How is it possible that he's not here? "
Sunset Daoist roared furiously.
If they couldn't find Gu Xuan's body, did that mean Gu Xuan was still alive?
How could he accept such a guess?
He had spent so much effort to kill Gu Xuan, but he was still alive. How was that possible?
"Gu Xuan must die! Gu Xuan must be dead! All of you, find him! "
Jin Zheng flew down from the sky. His expression was even worse than Sunset Daoist's.
How could Gu Xuan not be dead?
A black-robed man respectfully said: "Senior Brother, Gu Xuan's body isn't here. We've searched everywhere within three miles."
"Boom!"
Not far away, a mountain was shattered by a pillar of light.
"Find him! Keep searching, I want to see his corpse if he's dead or alive! "
Jin Zheng squeezed these words out of his gritted teeth.
If Gu Xuan was still alive, then things would be troublesome. The position of one of the eight Saints might fall into Gu Xuan's hands.
Even if Gu Xuan was now a half-step True Emperor and was a real piece of trash, who knew if those old geezers would change their minds?
After all, they had high hopes for Gu Xuan, not his martial prowess but his alchemy prowess!
Regardless of whether Gu Xuan became a True Emperor or a Saint, his alchemy prowess wouldn't decrease.
Even if there was a one in ten thousand chance of Gu Xuan becoming one of the eight Saints, Jin Zheng still couldn't accept it!
The most suitable candidate for that position was himself!
Sunset Daoist's expression became even more gloomy. He didn't want to run anymore. Even if this avatar had to die here, he had to find out if Gu Xuan was still alive.
"I don't believe you're still alive! If you're still alive, then get the hell out here! "
Sunset Daoist roared towards the ground.
"Gu Xuan, you piece of trash, you animal! Get the hell out here if you have the guts! Let's fight another three hundred rounds! I … "
"Whoosh!"
Before Morningfall Daoist could finish his words, he heard the sound of flesh being pierced. His heart had been pierced by a long sword.
