Mo Yuluo had used the Search for the Cause, Finding the Effect technique and tracked down where Gu Suihan was. The four of them set off imdiately but did not speak to each other at all along the way. Their gazes were shifty, and they clearly had their own opinions on this whole matter.
Mu Tian could sense the awkward and tense atmosphere between them, so he decided to say sothing. Do any of you know why Gu Suihan knows the Buddhist Illusion Breaking Seal technique? Thats how he countered my attack. If he hadnt known that technique, he would be dead by now. The look in his eyes grew grimr as he spoke.
The Buddhist Pure Land Temple was all the way in the west, miles, and miles away from the Seven Kill Sect. Besides, all the monks were very busy ditating and hoping to attain nirvana. Nobody had the ti to co out here.
Besides, Gu Suihan definitely didnt have the makings of a Buddha. Mu Tian had only seen Gu Suihan a few tis. Still, it didnt take much to notice that even though Gu Suihan always smiled, seed to make sensible decisions, and was never really loud or obnoxious, those eyes of his had practically no expression whatsoever. He looked more like so older person who was jaded and unimpressed by anything he saw.
You suspect hes connected to the Buddhists? Li Rong stuck his head out of the sedan he was seated in that was being carried by his jiangshis.
I dont think so. Mo Yuluo rolled her eyes before observing the area in front of her. Theres always that possibility, but the chances are ager. Firstly, if he belonged to such an organization, he would know so things about the cultivation world and not just join the Seven Kill Sect so cluelessly. Perhaps he has so other plans, but lets assu he doesnt.
Also, the strange spells, martial arts techniques, and sword techniques that hes used thus far are all so of the best. He seems to know how to use all of them with great familiarity and doesnt make any mistakes. Whether his personality type is suitable for Buddhism isnt so important. His aptitude and body would make him a prized treasure to the monastery. Did you think those baldies would bear to let him leave?
Yan Wuheng wiped his chin after taking a mouthful of wine and said, Also, Gu Suihan seems very interested in the ancient history of the cultivation world that has been lost. Hes gone to the library several tis just to borrow such books to read. Most others at his stage would be much more interested in reading up spells and techniques, but he just skims through them and loses interest quickly. Hes only borrowed one book on the True Gold Purple Sun technique and returned it in less than three days.
Hes definitely up to sothing, but thats not important right now. Yan Wuheng and I just want to get the Blood Jade Figs back, and we have nothing to do with anything you two are trying to do, said Mu Tian flatly with a scoff.
Once Mu Tian and Yan Wuheng had beco internal disciples, these three significant factions of power were no longer a group they had to rely on. They were willing to work with Mo Yuluo and Li Rong only because there was no conflict of interest. Unlike how the factions had almost absolute authority over the external disciples, the internal disciples were more willing to talk things out and reach an agreent this way. Inner disciples were talented and arrogant people, so none liked taking orders.
Your little lover, Nan Xingyuan, was killed by Gu Suihan. Arent you upset about that? Li Rong sniggered.
But Li Rongs sarcastic sniggering did not make Mu Tian angry. Instead, Mu Tian responded calmly, I was with Nan Xingyuan only because of her family background and the good amount of Yin she had in her body. It gets harder and harder to reach the next level of cultivation because you need a human cauldron with a higher level of aptitude than the last each ti. Ive lost Nan Xingyuan, so I need to find another girl to continue my cultivation. I dont need to fight a lunatic like Gu Suihan over one Nan Xingyuan.
Haha! I agree! said Yan Wuheng with a hearty laugh.
I hope thats the case, said Mo Yuluo expressionlessly. She looked to her left and stopped walking. She pointed in that direction and said, Hes about five kiloters in that direction. He knows were not far from him, so why isnt he running? She frowned slightly and couldnt understand why Gu Suihan would stand around and wait for them.
Do you think its a trap? Maybe hes just using sothing to fool us, but hes already escaped elsewhere.
Thats impossible. Im using a spell that affects the rules around here, and you could even say its more powerful than the laws of nature that govern this place. It will be impossible for Gu Suihan to fool . Mo Yuluo sounded a little angry now.
Well, I thought my illusion spells could trap him and turn him into a pile of dust, too, muttered Mu Tian.
Mo Yuluo scoffed and threw Mu Tian a disdainful glance. She didnt need to say more.
Youre finally here, a clear and loud voice called out from a distance. Gu Suihan had suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Are you just waiting for us to kill you? asked Mo Yuluo emotionlessly. Or do you have more tricks up your sleeve?
Oh no, no, said Gu Suihan with a smile as he shrugged leisurely. I know youve got the blood from one of my relatives, so theres no way I can run from you. Besides, this place is only so big.
Li Rong snorted as he alighted from his sedan. He looked at Gu Suihan and said, Brother Gu, you cant get away, and youre not the type to let others kill you just like that. So, why put yourself through such misery? Why dont you let turn your body into my personal jiangshi, and Ill let your soul go free? How about that?
Thats not a problem, but I dont think my body is the only thing youre coveting, said Gu Suihan as he stared straight at Li Rong. I dont think getting yourself a personal jiangshi is your only motive.
Li Rongs expression froze for a mont, then he squeezed a smile out and said, Wh-what are you talking about?
The rest looked strangely at how Li Rong was obviously only pretending to be calm, and they were surprised to hear Gu Suihans words.
Mu Tian frowned and took a step forward. Hand over the Blood Jade Figs. Im sure the tree itself is dead, but were not bothered by that. Give Yan Wuheng and two figs each, and well leave right away. We will not involve ourselves in your feud with the two of them.
Oho, Gu Suihan raised an eyebrow, surprised by Mu Tians proposal. But he went on, Youre a little too late, though. Ive used those figs to recover from my injuries. I wouldnt just appear in front of all of you if I were still badly injured.
Mu Tian was a little stunned, then he snorted and said, Thats not possible. Five Blood Jade Figs is enough to push a Beginner Foundation Establishnt cultivator into the Mid phase. If you only used them for recuperation purposes, you wouldnt need so many of them. Also, the figs carry the elent of fire, and theres no way youd be able to withstand the heat it creates.
Yan Wuheng suddenly took a step forward and stared straight at Gu Suihan as he said, Wait. You were stabbed by Mo Yuluos Soul Freezing Hell Sword, which is full of frosty qi. You recovered because you used the fire from the figs to neutralize the frosty qi from the sword. Is that it?
Thats right, said Gu Suihan with a smile as he rubbed his palms together. It was probably a waste to use the figs this way, but there was no way I could escape with that level of injury. So
But you couldnt possibly have used up everything either. Yan Wuheng threw his wine flask aside and was very confident as he said, The frosty qi from the sword was very powerful, but you were still able to teleport yourself in an instant, so that ans that your body itself is not weak. So, the injury you suffered from the frosty qi couldnt have been that serious.
True, true. Youre right. But I only have two more left. How are the four of you going to split them among yourselves? Gu Suihan held out the two gleaming Blood Jade Figs that slled faintly of blood.
Mu Tian scoffed. Stop trying to agitate us like that. We wont fall for such low-level tricks like that. Im not including Mo Yuluo and Li Rong, so two figs are perfect for Yan Wuheng and . But if you want us to stay out of your affairs, youd need to give us sothing more.
Swear by the Way, said Gu Suihan after falling silent for a mont. Were all intelligent people here, so theres no need to beat around the bush.
Mu Tian and Yan Wuheng exchanged glances and finally felt relieved inside. So many unexpected events had happened one after another, and Hang Chulong even lost his life in the process. They had to count themselves lucky for surviving thus far.
The three internal disciples had initially agreed to take one fig each, then sell off the remaining two. That way, they would still be able to get a few thousand Spiritual Stones on top of one fig.
But when Mo Yuluo and Li Rong suddenly turned up, they had no choice but to give up the remaining two they had ant to sell. Mo Yuluo and Li Rong had powerful backers, so the three internal disciples didnt have a choice.
Later on, Gu Suihan appeared out of nowhere and killed off Hang Chulong so quickly, completely disregarded the leader of the Way Seekers Alliance, and ran away with the figs while also killing Nan Xingyuan at the sa ti. He was so severely injured, yet he still managed to escape from them.
Mu Tian and Yan Wuheng hadnt revealed everything they had yet, but what they had seen so far was enough to re-evaluate their judgnt of this up-and-coming genius among the external disciples. They both quickly concluded that they should not fall out with Gu Suihan.
The two n solemnly swore that they would leave imdiately after getting the figs and compensation and that they would not attack him while they were all outside the sect.
There you go. Gu Suihan threw the figs and two small pouches to Mu Tian and Yan Wuheng.
Now! Mo Yuluo shouted as a long blue sword filled with frosty qi appeared in her hand. She dashed forward and reached Gu Suihan instantly, then brought her sharp sword down towards Gu Suihans outstretched arm.
