102: C102 Seeing Through

C102 Seeing Through

Finally, the child approached him step by step. Finally, the child's head collided into Wang Jian's body. Wang Jian's body trembled violently.

What happened next astonished everyone. The child had directly pierced through Wang Jian's body, as if he hadn't touched anything at all.

"Holy shit!" "What's going on?" Wang Jian opened his eyes wide and could not help but let out a confused voice.

Only now did Gu Yuan heave a sigh of relief. Unknowingly, his palms that were holding onto Wang Jian were also covered in sweat.

"I seem to understand." Gu Yuan said.

Everyone quickly looked at Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan continued, "We were all wrong before."

Zhang Jie did not understand and asked, "Tell me clearly, what was wrong?"

Gu Yuan had a relaxed expression and smiled: "We shouldn't have attacked, and we shouldn't have attacked that underground well either."

Wang Jian was confused and asked, "Why?"

Gu Yuan explained, "You saw it before, these villagers seem to be repeating what happened yesterday."

Everyone nodded.

Gu Yuan continued to speak: "I was thinking just now, what does this mean? This is the trial's question given to us by the Mighty Sky Sect. Everything that's happened can't be without reason."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Jie seemed to have thought of something, but he couldn't grasp the main point.

"This village is clearly a ghost village, and the formation of the ghost village requires a powerful aura of grievance. But look, even though this village is filled with dark energy due to the strange aura, the villagers don't have a single trace of malice on their faces."

Everyone heard this and looked towards the villagers. Sure enough, everyone's faces were peaceful, as if they didn't see the malevolence and malevolence of evil spirits.

Gu Yuan continued, "This means that this village was not formed because of grievances, but because of the use of evil cultivators."

With that, Gu Yuan said to the village, "What you guys saw might just be what happened in this village on a certain day, and these villagers are not real at all. Instead, the evil cultivators can use some kind of spell to create something."

Hearing this, everything seemed to make sense. However, there was one thing Zhang Jie didn't understand, so he asked: "What about that underground well?"

Gu Yuan smiled and said, "That well was just to confuse us. The goal was to lead us astray."

After saying that, Gu Yuan suddenly moved. He activated his Invitation to Wine and rushed towards one of the villagers, the Fangtian Halberd in his hands smashing down without hesitation.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch ~"

A series of ear-piercing laughter rang out. The villager who was attacked by Gu Yuan suddenly wiggled and turned into an old man wearing a black robe.

Easily dodging Gu Yuan's attack, the old man had a hint of madness in his eyes as he said: "Brat, you're not bad, you actually saw through my spell so quickly."

Gu Yuan sneered, "In my eyes, the perfect spell is but a trick with a hundred loopholes."

As soon as the old man appeared, everything around them changed. The group was no longer in the same village, but rather, in a graveyard, and the cemeteries were obviously the same place where the villagers had been buried.

And what Gu Yuan and the others attacked yesterday were the ghosts in these graves.

These spirits were deliberately strengthened by the old man's evil magic, each of them turning into evil spirits. Moreover, as long as the mound was not destroyed, these evil spirits could be reborn without limit.

After realizing all of this, Zhang Jie and the others who were behind Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. If Gu Yuan didn't see through the old man's scheme, they might have died from exhaustion and be unable to get rid of the entanglement.

"Brat, don't think that you can live just because you see through this old man's plan. Don't even think about living!"

As he said that, the elder waved his black robe, and a large amount of black smoke appeared, and very soon it filled the surrounding area. With that, the elder waved his black robe, and a large amount of black smoke suddenly appeared, and very quickly it filled the surrounding area.2

"Holy sh * t!" "I've faked a corpse!" Wang Jian, who saw this scene from behind, felt his scalp tingle and could not help but scream.

Gu Yuan's expression was serious. When the old man appeared, Gu Yuan had used the system to check and found that the old man was actually at the early stage of Nascent Soul.

Gu Yuan was currently in Late Period of Innate Stage and was only one step away from peak. If he used his full strength, he would not need to fear most early stage Nascent Soul cultivators, and even if he failed to defeat them, he believed that escaping would not be a problem.

But the problem was what should they do?

Therefore, the only choice he had left was to fight.

The corpses summoned by the old man were called corpse puppets, and although they were only at Early Period of Innate Stage, they were too many to handle.

There were at least a hundred of them densely packed!

Moreover, these corpse puppets did not have any fear, and did not know pain. As long as they did not destroy the head, they could continue to fight. It was very troublesome.

Gu Yuan carefully retreated and stood together with Zhang Jie and the others. He told them about the corpse puppet's information.

"Early Period of Innate Stage!" Wang Jian opened his eyes wide after hearing that. He looked at those rotten corpses that were wobbling and walking towards him and the others and his face was filled with disbelief.

He could not imagine how these corpses, which looked as if they would break at any time, could possess the strength of an Upper Sky Realm warrior.

Unfortunately, no matter how much he was unwilling to believe, he was unable to change the truth.

Hearing Gu Yuan's news, Zhang Jie and the others became more and more serious. Although they were under a lot of pressure, they still said to Gu Yuan, "Don't worry and deal with that old guy. We will deal with these corpse puppets."

Knowing that this was not the time to be hypocritical, Gu Yuan did not waste any words. After saying "Be careful", he activated the Invitation to Wine, his figure flashed as he charged towards the black-robed old man.

Zhang Jie and the others instantly exchanged moves with the corpse puppets, but fortunately, their bodies were rotten, and although they had the strength of Early Period of Innate Stage, their movements were stiff and slow. Although there were many of them, Zhang Jian and the others were agile, and although it was difficult for them, they could still barely hold on.

Gu Yuan quickly caught up to the old man, and the Fangtian Halberd violently struck out.

The old man seemed to not want to fight head on with Gu Yuan. Other than constantly dodging, the only thing he wanted to do was to use all kinds of spells to slow Gu Yuan down.

At the beginning, it was nothing, but after a while, Gu Yuan started to get anxious.

Zhang Jie and the rest were facing a group of more than 100 corpse puppets that could attack at any time and were in danger. They couldn't afford to delay any longer.

However, this old man seemed to be playing with Gu Yuan. It could be said that he wanted to see if his companions were in danger, and Gu Yuan seemed to be helpless.

Gu Yuan was finally angry and decided to no longer hold back. He used the Invitation to Wine alternately with the Divine Might of Great Sage.

Gu Yuan's sudden increase in offensive power made the old man flustered. He was even hit by Gu Yuan a few times.
