Li Tongzhou’s movements were too fast, and Fang Yuan did not have time to react.
Jumping down from such a high altitude, even if there was water below, with Li Tongzhou’s physique as a Gu master who did not have defensive type Gu worms, he would be either dead or crippled.
Fang Yuan frowned, and relying on his White Jade Gu to protect his body, he jumped down as well, preparing to cast an ice shield to protect him.
Although it might not be useful, it was better than nothing.
But when Fang Yuan jumped into the air, he realized a serious problem.
He could not catch up to Li Tongzhou!
Moreover, under such a rapid fall, the ice element that Fang Yuan condensed around Li Tongzhou could not hold out.
“This is bad.” Fang Yuan knew something was wrong.
But at this moment, a white light flashed in the forest, flying towards the two of them.
It seemed to be a flying sword type Gu worm.
Fang Yuan subconsciously prepared to circulate his spirit essence to block it.
“Kid, don’t move, or I cannot guarantee that you two will still be alive when you fall.”
An old male voice came from the light.
“Third Elder?” Fang Yuan asked uncertainly.
He had seen the Third Elder from afar a long time ago, but it had been a long time, so he could not remember clearly.
‘The Third Elder was also best at using the Flying Sword Gu, and someone who would help them was not likely to be an external enemy, thus Fang Yuan made this assumption.
“Calm down and be careful!” The other party reminded him, as a tacit acknowledgement.
Fang Yuan frowned.
Why did he have to calm down while falling off the cliff…
But soon, a shrill sound coming from outside gave the answer.
‘The moment Fang Yuan heard the sound, his head felt as if it was pierced by ten thousand sharp knives. He felt a splitting headache and almost fainted.
This sound actually had such lethality!
He looked at Li Tongzhou.
The dullness in his eyes deepened. He seemed to have completely lost consciousness.
“Monster! How dare you act so impudently in the Gu Immortal Sect!”
The Third Elder shouted, and a green light shone from his acupoints, spreading out and protecting Fang Yuan and Li Tongzhou’s heart and brain.
Following that, the Flying Sword Gu carried them up, passing through the waterfall and landing on the open space outside the waterhole below.
The shrill sound came from the cave ahead. The Third Elder snorted, waving his hand to summon the Flying Sword Gu in front of him.
“Act when you have the chance, I will go and meet him!”
Saying so, he turned into a ray of sword light and shot out.
Fang Yuan endured the pain and looked over. The sword light was like a clay ox entering the sea when it entered the pitch-black cave, and there was not even a ripple.
“It really is the place where the Evaluation Gu recorded… what is going on…”
Following that, a few more rays of dazzling light flew through the sky and entered the cave one after another.
Using the True Sight Gu, it was Gu Zhenren, First Elder, and Second Elder!
This was Fang Yuan’s first time seeing his master personally make a move, and he was very curious. What kind of enemy could make these Gu Immortal Sect experts join forces to fight?
‘This was already the peak battle strength of the Gu Immortal Sect.
It could even be said that they were the strongest Gu masters in Yan Shen Empire.
If they were so cautious, could it be that the Gu Demon Sect’s sect master had sneaked here?
‘Without waiting for him to think further, that annoying screech finally stopped because of Gu Zhenren and the other experts’ intrusion.
Looking at Li Tongzhou at the side, Third Elder’s ability seemed to have taken effect.
When the green light slowly spread from his neck to the top of his head, Li Tongzhou’s eyes finally regained their usual vigor.
After discovering that he was in the wilderness, he could not help but ask, “What happened?”
“You don’t remember anything?”
“I don’t know, wasn’t I taking the test? Eh, where is the Gu worm?”
Boom!
The cave suddenly emitted a dull sound.
In an instant, the mountain collapsed and the earth shook, as if the end of the world had arrived.
‘A powerful domain aura spread out, enveloping the mountain peak where the cave was located.
Similar to First Senior Zhao Hede’s Berserker Domain, it could greatly increase the combat ability of one’s Gu worms.
It seemed that Master and elders were getting serious.
Fang Yuan frowned and pulled Li Tongzhou back.
In a battle of this level, the two of them could not help at all. Survival was the most important thing!
However, behind them was a cliff that was hundreds of meters high, and they did not have any flying Gu worms, so it was not easy to get up.
Li Tongzhou was scared out of his wits.
“How can there be Semi-god Realm level pressure… no… it seems to be even stronger than that…”
He said with a sad face, “Senior, where did you bring me…”
“It was you who brought me to Luo Mu Mountain, alright? I am also confused!” Fang Yuan said in a bad mood.
“Luo Mu Mountain? The forbidden ground of the outer sect, Luo Mu Mountain? No, even if it is a forbidden ground, it is impossible for such a strong existence to be here.”
“Is now the time to think about these things?”
“Ah right… let’s hurry up and leave…”
Not long later, inside the cave, within the domain.
Gu Zhenren and the three elders each occupied a position in the north, south, east, west. Together with a huge Gu worm, they surrounded the dim purple light in the middle.
Even though it was the beginning of the battle, there was a definite outcome.
After all, it was a joint effort of several experts, and their attacks were also fatal moves. Unless the opponent’s realm was higher than theirs, it would be difficult to resist.
However, Gu Zhenren did not slack off.
He expended a large amount of spirit essence to maintain the domain’s existence, and at the same time, he had the Gu worm send a red mark into the purple light.
Not long after, he frowned deeply.
The First Elder saw this and could not help but ask, “Sect master, have you found anything using the Soul Searching Gu?”
Gu Zhenren shook his head slightly. “This is a demon spirit, the Soul Searching Gu is not effective.”
“A demon spirit?”
The Second Elder’s voice was like a bell. He was very surprised. “Isn’t this spirit body born after the death of a monster? Why would it appear here?”
Gu Zhenren muttered, “Maybe it was hidden in that token. When it received the spirit essence I injected into it when I was studying it, it activated part of its power and escaped here.”
The elders were silent.
It was already so powerful after recovering only a part of its power. If it was fully restored, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to subdue it.
“Fortunately, we found it in time and it didn’t cause a disaster.”
The Third Elder took the wine gourd from his waist and took a big gulp. “When I rushed here, this thing was already controlling a disciple in the sect. I guess it was going to absorb his spirit essence.”
The Second Elder immediately frowned. “How can we let such a disaster live?”
Gu Zhenren sighed. “Demon spirits can only be born from monsters with strong cultivation. They are not real entities, so it’s not easy to completely destroy them..”
