87: C87 A New Crisis

C87 A New Crisis

Niu Tiechui said, "Previously, we were careless. That was why we let the charm spirit take advantage of us. For the rest of the journey, they will no longer hide. Instead, they will protect you closely. You can be at ease now."

Gu Yuan secretly checked with the system and discovered that these people all had the strength of Peak of Innate Stage s.

This shocked Gu Yuan. Although Xiantian was only equivalent to a true Foundation Establishment stage, it was extremely difficult for a martial artist to reach the Xiantian realm. It was many times harder than Cultivator.

Peak of Innate Stage could be said to be very impressive, and these people should all be around fifty years old. In the future, there was a possibility for them to become Grandmasters.

He wondered how much effort Lin Wuyang had put into nurturing these talents.

Since he had these people's protection, Gu Yuan could be at ease. Qingming had not slept for two days because of the succubus. Gu Yuan turned around and led Qingming to rest.

The next morning, due to his worry for Qin Xiaoyue, Gu Yuan woke up early and Niu Tiechui had already prepared breakfast.

After a simple wash, he arrived in front of Qin Xiaoyue's resting tent and discovered that there was a slight sound coming from inside.

Sure enough, after a while, Qin Xiaoyue walked out with a pale face. When she saw Gu Yuan, she was surprised, but then she brushed past him like a stranger.

Gu Yuan smiled bitterly.

Everyone finished their breakfast and started their journey again. Qin Xiaoyue was still weak, so Niu Tiechui carried her on his back.

Along the way, Zhang Jie still surrounded Qin Xiaoyue to greet and greet her, but Qin Xiaoyue returned to her previous aloof attitude, refusing to acknowledge Zhang Jie's endless attempts to curry favor with her.

After walking for half a day, the group stopped again. The forest in front of them had disappeared and a large swamp appeared. The swamp was filled with dense air, and it was obvious that it was poisonous.

Niu Tiechui said to Gu Yuan, "After this swamp, we will reach the Mighty Sky Peak."

Gu Yuan asked, "How do we get there? This swamp is obviously poisonous. "

Niu Tiechui was well-prepared. He took out a few pills from his pocket and gave them to Gu Yuan and the others, saying, "This is a Poison Avoidance Pill. Take it. It will protect you from the miasma for three days."

After consuming the pills, everyone proceeded on their way.

Entering the swamp, indeed, the miasma had no effect on Gu Yuan and the rest. It seemed to have been neutralized by the medicine in their bodies.

However, after walking for a distance, Niu Tiechui once again signaled the team to stop.

Gu Yuan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Niu Tiechui's expression became serious.

"Something's not right. Don't you think it's too quiet around here?"

Previously, because it was too quiet after entering the mountain and they didn't even encounter any ferocious beasts, Gu Yuan and the others had their suspicions, but later on, because of the appearance of the charm spirit, they naturally blamed it on it.

But last night, the succubus had clearly been cleared out, and everyone had been gone for a day. The surroundings were still deathly silent, which was abnormal.

Besides, according to Niu Tiechui, although this swamp was only dangerous due to the miasma, some poisonous insects still existed.

It had been a while since they entered the swamp. Not to mention the poisonous bugs, even the normal mosquitoes were nowhere to be seen.

Only now did the crowd realize that the crisis had not been resolved yet.

Niu Tiechui made a hand gesture again and ordered the four people who were protecting the team in the dark to search the surroundings.

A few minutes passed.

Suddenly, the sound of air being struck could be heard from the side, followed by a painful groan.

Gu Yuan and the rest looked at each other and rushed in that direction. At the same time, the other three men in black also rushed in that direction.2

Arriving at the place, Gu Yuan and the others saw that the man in black who was secretly protecting them was already lying on the ground, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

He looked to be in his thirties with fair skin and a charming appearance. He was looking at Gu Yuan and the others and covered his mouth as he chuckled, as if he wasn't alarmed by the appearance of Gu Yuan and the others. Instead, he had a relaxed expression.

Gu Yuan immediately used the system to check the woman's information.

"Name: Fang Yuan"

Cultivation Level: Mid Aurous Core Stage

Identity: Purple-clothed Fairy, Netherworld Sect.

It's the Netherworld Sect again! Furthermore, he was a powerful cultivator in the middle phase of the Aurous Core stage!

Gu Yuan frowned as he watched. He weighed the difference between the two of them in his heart and finally realized that even if all of them were to combine their powers, they would still not be a match for the other party.

It seems that this Netherworld Sect has decided to kill the rest of my people.

Niu Tiechui seemed to be able to feel the other party's strength, he did not act rashly, and instead asked: "Who are you? Why did you keep following us? "

Purple-clothed Fairy laughed softly. "I can't follow you, but who told the grand master to take your lives? I didn't dare to disobey and had to come, so I took my time to catch up."

Gu Yuan felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard that.

Niu Tiechui already knew the other person's identity when he heard Purple-clothed Fairy's words.

"You are from the Netherworld Sect?" Even though it was a question, his tone was firm.

"At least you're smart. This little girl doesn't want to waste words. I advise you to obediently let me kill you. Otherwise, I don't mind using some small tricks to let you know the consequences of disobeying me."

Niu Tiechui took a deep breath and whispered to Gu Yuan and the others, "Take Xiao Yue and run quickly. Don't look back along the way. Once you leave this swamp, you will be safe."

Gu Yuan and the rest froze for a moment. Looking at Niu Tiechui's resolute expression, it was obvious that he wanted to sacrifice himself to buy time for them.

Niu Tiechui was one of the first people to follow Lin Wuyang. He was even very familiar with Qin Xiaoyue's father.

After hearing Niu Tiechui's decision, how could Qin Xiaoyue agree. She immediately refused, "She's alone. If we stay and help you, we might have a chance to win."

Niu Tiechui shook his head: "It's useless. Her strength is higher than me, and as a person of Netherworld Sect, her methods are even stranger. Right now, the best way is for all of you to run, and we'll stay behind to buy you some time."

The other three men in black surrounded Purple-clothed Fairy silently.

Since Qin Xiaoyue insisted on staying, Zhang Jie and the rest naturally chose to stay as well. Niu Tiechui had no other choice but to turn his gaze towards Gu Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yuan also shook his head and refused, saying at the same time, "I agree with Xiao Yue, running away without a fight isn't my character."

Seeing that they were all unwilling to leave, Niu Tiechui didn't have the energy to care about them anymore, so he could only say: "You can stay, but you must pay attention to your own safety during the battle. If the situation isn't good, don't worry about us, run away immediately and don't disappoint the host."

Qin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Don't worry. Once you die, I will definitely live on. I will work hard to cultivate and avenge you in the future!"
