Seeing Qiu Jiuzhen finally stop after hesitating, Baili Yuan was still as arrogant as ever and chased after Gan Shi.
After traveling more than four hundred miles with Gan Shi's best efforts, he saw Mei Bucai and his companions after half an incense stick of time. As Gan Shi got closer, several strands of his spiritual sense also swept over Mei Bucai and his six companions who were standing still.
But at the same time, he also sensed Gan Shi's spiritual consciousness. After hesitating at first, he actually wanted to get closer to Mei Bucai and the others, but what followed was Baili Yuan's powerful spiritual consciousness.
Suddenly, the teams that wanted to get closer stopped their actions, because Gan Shi and Baili Yuan's spiritual consciousness had transmitted the message at the same time.
"No matter who gets close to these six people, the Wuling Sect will fight to the death!"
The approach of the two foundation-building masters immediately made the teams that had some plans give up the idea. They didn't know that Gan Shi only retained his powerful spiritual consciousness, and his combat power had not yet recovered.
With two foundation-building masters present at this time, if he fought with them, he might not end up in a good situation, and he might even let others take advantage of him.
Gan Shi came like a shooting star, he had left the others behind him far behind. Anyway, he was not worried, he did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and with Baili Yuan behind him, there should be no problem for the others in the middle.
Seeing the six people standing there from afar, Gan Shi nodded involuntarily. Even though he had ordered them to wait there, Mei Bucai and the others were still standing back to back in a horn formation.
At the same time, a circle of faint yellow mist surrounded them a few feet away, covering their figures hazily. It was obviously a highly poisonous substance.
Until Gan Shi landed, although the expressions of several people were excited, no one walked out of the protective yellow fog. They just stared vigilantly at the yellow-haired man who was over ten feet tall.
"Alright, Mei Bucai, you little bastard, stop staring at me like that. I'm not an illusion. Remove the poisonous fog, or you'll hurt me by accident. Where's your Uncle Gong?"
After Gan Shi landed, he glanced at the yellow fog, then with a flick of his hand, a black token shot towards Mei Bucai. He saw that Mei Bucai should be the leader of these people, but he did not make things difficult for them.
Mei Bucai saw something flying towards him and looked at it with a serious expression. After seeing what it was clearly, he grabbed the black token in his hand and looked at it carefully again and again. After a few breaths, his expression finally relaxed and he couldn't help scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Master Gan, the illusion here is too terrifying. My disciple's cultivation is too low, and I am afraid I can't distinguish it clearly for the time being, so..."
Before he could finish, Gan Shi had already arrived outside the yellow fog and waved his hand.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and quickly disperse the yellow fog. Do you really want me to take action?"
After hearing this, Mei Bucai, Cheng Jingnian and the other six dispersed with respectful looks on their faces and quickly stretched out their hands to point at the yellow mist in front of them.
The yellow mist was condensed after several people mixed the strongest poisons in their bodies. Its toxicity was a bit tricky even for Gan Shi. After the condensed yellow mist was collected carefully by several people, they walked out one by one.
Mei Bucai took the lead and respectfully handed the token back to Gan Shi with both hands. Looking at Gan Shi's impatient expression, he knew what this uncle was worried about.
While handing over the token, he quickly recounted how they met Wang Lang and how Gong Chenying was the last one to leave, and also explained that Gong Chenying was seriously injured.
Seeing that Mei Bucai was so sensible, Gan Shi nodded, but after listening to his subsequent narration, he couldn't help but frowned.
Later, when Mei Bucai continued his narration, he would occasionally ask a follow-up question to the previous one. Whenever Gan Shi asked questions, in addition to Mei Bucai's narration, the others would occasionally add a few more sentences.
However, the expressions of several people were a little nervous, because they all saw that the senior master in front of them was obviously not as strong as they thought. They could still see the weak aura on his body. Moreover, why did this senior master come alone
However, no one dared to ask, and just answered Gan Shi's questions respectfully. However, Gan Shi was quickly digesting the information told by Mei Bucai and others in his mind.
"We must quickly find the way Mei Bucai and his men came, otherwise Junior Sister Gong will be in great danger."
While they were talking, a few people came running towards them at a high speed in the distance. Mei Bucai and his companions immediately saw someone running towards them.
However, at this moment, several people were no longer as nervous as if they were facing a great enemy. Even if Master Gan was weak, he was still a foundation-building cultivator. Moreover, seeing that Master Gan had a calm look on his face and looked as if he didn't care about the people coming from behind.
It was obvious that they didn't take the visitor seriously, so they felt a little relieved.
Those people came very fast and were close in a few breaths. When they entered the range of Mei Bucai and his companions' spiritual awareness, Mei Bucai couldn't help but relax. Those people were all disciples of the Wangliang Sect. He was quite familiar with some of them, such as Du Sanjiang, Lu Qiuting and Rui Feikai.
These people were assigned to Gan Shi by Baili Yuan. They are currently the strongest among the Qi Condensation disciples. Once they encounter an enemy, let them help Gan Shi from the side.
When Mei Bucai and the other six saw Du Sanjiang appear, they were puzzled. If they remembered correctly, Du Sanjiang, Lu Qiuting and the other two cultivators behind them should have followed Uncle Baili. But then their eyes lit up and they thought of a possibility at the same time.
Several people flew over quickly and stood behind Gan Shi. They did not speak, but just bowed to Mei Bucai and the other six. After Mei Bucai and the other six bowed in return, they did not speak either. Gan Shi lowered his head as if he was thinking.
After a while, Gan Shi frowned and said.
"Why hasn't Baili come yet?"
At the same time, his spiritual sense swept backwards. His words seemed to be asking Du Sanjiang and the others, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
Du Sanjiang and his companions smiled bitterly. They were ordered to follow this uncle-master. Seeing him moving very fast, they had no idea what was going on, so they had to follow him desperately. If this uncle-master had not worried about losing them, they would have lost sight of him long ago. Now, they had already lost the trace of Uncle-master Baili in their consciousness.
Hearing Gan Shi's self-talking words, Mei Bucai and the other six showed excitement in their eyes. It was just as they had guessed, all the uncles and aunts had already reunited, so Uncle Gong could be saved.
Gan Shi scanned the area with his spiritual sense and confirmed that Baili Garden was less than 150 miles away from him. He would arrive there soon, and the girl from Taixuan Sect had already left with a few people.
He did not waste time, but continued to ask Mei Bucai questions.
"Tell me again the direction you came from. And can your Master Gong tell me how many other people there are besides Wang Lang?"
"Master, Uncle Gong didn't say how many people there were on the other side, but there is no doubt that Wang Lang is the only foundation-building cultivator on the other side. We wanted to stay and stop the enemy together, but Uncle Gong ordered us to leave."
At this time, Cheng Jingnian spoke quietly.
"It would be useless for you guys to stay! The enemy only has one foundation-building cultivator... Well, that makes sense. Otherwise, with her seriously injured body, she can only hold back one foundation-building cultivator at most.
If there are other foundation-building monks, they will just chase you separately and you will have no way to escape. Then when your uncle Baili comes, we will go and look for him immediately."
Gan Shi nodded, then stood there motionless, lost in thought again.
At this time, Du Sanjiang and his companions walked to a corner with Mei Bucai and his companions and whispered to each other.
Soon, Baili Yuan and his men arrived. They had been rushing all the way here since Qiu Jiuzhen left. But as soon as they arrived, Gan Shi pointed to the direction from which Mei Bucai and his men came.
"Junior Sister Gong disappeared there!"
On the way here, Baili Yuan had communicated with Gan Shi's spiritual consciousness and already knew about Gong Chenying's situation. He didn't say anything more and went straight in front with Gan Shi, sandwiching Mei Bucai in the middle and letting him constantly guide the direction, and flew towards the direction where Gong Chenying had originally been.
Dozens of disciples at the back divided Cheng Jingnian and the other four into different small circles, and asked them the reason through telepathic communication. They knew nothing about what happened to Mei Bucai along the way, and saw that their two uncles and aunts were also silent, holding Fatty Mei in front and hurrying on their way. They had no choice but to ask these people.
Under the guidance of two foundation-building masters, they headed towards the edge of the area, and there was basically no one else here at this time.
To their disappointment, they only found some traces of fighting along the way, and found nothing else. Moreover, the huge black shadow in the sky was only fifty or sixty feet away from them. Those traces of fighting farther away, as well as everything that had happened before, were silently swallowed up by the black shadow in the sky.
The two men had solemn expressions. They followed the edge of the huge black shadow in the sky, split into two groups, and flew hundreds of miles to either side. However, they still found nothing, so they had to turn back and reunite.
After a few discussions, they had to fly towards the center, but they continued to use their spiritual sense to search for Gong Chenying as they walked. What made them feel depressed was that Gong Chenying had lost his trace.
Including Junior Brother Li who came to report the news, no one found any trace of him. They didn't know how big this area was, and now they could only hope that Li Yan could be in another direction.
As for Gong Chenying, since Wang Lang had not been found yet, the two still held out a glimmer of hope.
… …
Wang Lang's face looked extremely ugly at the moment. After recovering for half an hour, he did not recover much. The flying sword in the Niwan Palace could no longer be used. He could only perform some small-power magic or use the ordinary flying sword in the storage bag.
He chased in the direction Li Yan fled. At this time, Wang Lang no longer had the idea of getting a place in the competition. He only felt endless frustration and anger in his heart.
The sect had expended so many resources and decades of hard work, but in the previous stages of the battle, not only had he not encountered the Wuliang Sect once, but he had also annihilated all the Taixuan Sect monks who had managed to join up with him, and he himself was severely injured as a result.
The only three remaining disciples of the Ten-Step Academy that he had brought out with great effort were poisoned to death by the monks of the Wuliang Sect. This was a huge gap from the ambitions he had when he first came in, and made his chest burn with rage.
No matter what, he would make the people of the Wuliang Sect pay the price, even if it meant losing their rank and the generous rewards, otherwise this inner demon would accompany him for the rest of his life.
However, after searching for a while, Wang Lang still found nothing. For a moment, he had no idea where the Qi Condensation Stage cultivator from the Wuliang Sect had hidden with the seriously injured Gong Chenying.
In less than half an hour, the movement range of a Qi Condensation cultivator who cannot fly should not exceed a hundred miles, unless he has a high-level flying magic weapon.
After searching for a while, Wang Lang suddenly showed surprise. Three hundred miles to his right, there was a small white jade boat flying forward along the black shadow in the sky.
"It is indeed Gong Chenying and that Qi Condensation Stage kid."
But what surprised Wang Lang was that although Gong Chenying looked weak, he did not look like he was seriously injured, which greatly surprised him.
This made Wang Lang hesitate for a moment. He was in a very bad condition now. He originally thought that when he found the other party, it must be the unconscious Gong Chenying and the Qi Condensation Stage boy, but now the situation was not what he imagined.
At the same time when Wang Lang discovered Li Yan and the others, Gong Chenying, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. She just felt a spiritual consciousness passing by from above. She was somewhat familiar with this spiritual consciousness as she had fought with it before.
Therefore, Gong Chenying immediately swept his spiritual sense towards the other party!
