While thinking, Jiang Beiran found that Feifu stopped, and then heard Shi Fenglan's voice ringing in his ears.
"Xiao Beiran, they stopped."
Jiang Beiran nodded, and looked out again through the Heavenly Eye Formation, and found that although the sect had been surrounded by Gu cultivators, the protective formation had not yet been broken, and everyone was relying on the formation to fight those Gu cultivators .
In the front, Cheng Yanqing rushed down first, shaking away all the Gu cultivators surrounded by the protective array.
'It seems that there is no such kind of mysterious sage-level Gu cultivator here. '
Seeing Cheng Yanqing rushing back to his sect as if entering no one's land, Jiang Beiran knew that he basically had no role to play.
After Shi Hongyun, Cao Jinghua and the other Profound Sages made their move together, the Gu cultivators outside the Wanhua Sect were quickly emptied. To prevent fraud, Fu Yichen and the Cuntou Profound Sage stood guard outside the sect.
But until all the disciples of the Wanhua Sect boarded the Feifu, there was no accident, so it can be said to be quite smooth.
As before, the disciples of the Wanhua Sect were escorted back to Yuancheng, and the group went to the next sect.
…
Several disciples from Xuansheng Sect were safely escorted back to Yuancheng without any accidents along the way. If the miasma was not there, Jiang Beiran even felt that those Gu cultivators had all retreated.
But on second thought, Jiang Beiran and the other Xuansheng had to think about another question.
'Where did those Xuansheng level Gu cultivators go...'
It's like a spider appears in your room. You will feel vigilant and tense, but you can barely keep calm and think about how to deal with it.
But if the spider suddenly disappears from your sight, you will never feel any peace of mind. Instead, you will become more and more panicked, and even start to fidget and scare yourself. Before you find out the spider, you can't even sleep. Impossible to sleep soundly.
And this is Jiang Beiran's current mentality.
The disappearance of those Profound Sage Gu cultivators did not make them feel the slightest bit of relaxation, but instead became more and more nervous, constantly thinking about what big news they were going to make.
"What do you think?"
In Yuancheng, Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran who had just walked down Feifu and asked.
"The words of the sage mean..."
"You know what I mean." Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and asked.
"If the sage is asking where the Gu cultivators who can fight Xuansheng are going, then I can only say that I don't know, but the sage should have found out, and the people in the towns and villages on the road are all fine."
Shi Weiyi nodded: "Well, we have all found out, and we also know the purpose of these Gu cultivators this time."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Beiran still asked: "Sage, can you tell me about the relationship between this Gu cultivator and the Xuanlong Continent?"
Shi Weiyi looked back at Jiang Beiran, his eyes were two points surprised, three points doubted, four points sized up, and seven points disbelief.
"Bei Ran really doesn't know?"
With the look in his eyes and his tone, Jiang Beiran knew that Shi Weiyi must have felt that he was asking questions knowingly.
After all, the wave just pretended too well, and in their eyes, I should have a terrifyingly strong background, not just a simple hermit master as a master.
In Shi Weiyi's understanding, since he has such a background, it is impossible not to know the origin between Gu Xiu and Xuanlong Continent.
But Jiang Beiran didn't care how they guessed themselves, whether they were pretending to be pigs and eating tigers, or being wise and stupid, anyway, before they figured out their true identities, they could make up their own reasons to convince themselves of what they did.
After all, that's how Jiang Beiran came all the way.
There are also more and more top powerhouses being bluffed.
"I made the sages laugh, but the younger generation really doesn't know." Jiang Beiran cupped his hands.
If it was changed before, Shi Weiyi would definitely smile and reply, "Actually, I don't know either."
But this time Jiang Beiran has done too many things for the Shi family, and there are still countless pairs of greedy eyes staring at him. Shi Weiyi firmly believes that when this Gu Xiu incident is resolved, there will be countless sects The family offered extremely attractive conditions to win him over.
So even though he felt that Jiang Beiran was asking the question knowingly, Shi Weiyi still replied seriously: "Actually, I don't know much. Even if it is a hundred years, or even a thousand years ago, it is rare to find records about the Gu clan. Someone is deliberately obliterating the evidence that they ever existed."
Since even Shi Weiyi said so, it is a certainty that someone deliberately covered up the traces of the existence of the Gu clan.
So what kind of person would do such a thing
There is a high probability that it is a person with a guilty conscience.
If it is Gu Xiu who is sorry for human beings, then he should be crucified on the pillar of shame, not covered up.
Of course, the words must not be so absolute, but it should be close to each other.
"Since the sages said that they are rarely found, does that mean there are still records in some ancient books?"
"There are indeed, but more is still word of mouth."
'Word of mouth? Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment, "What does the ancestor's training mean?" '
After all, there is a high probability that this kind of topic, which seems extremely taboo, will not be discussed publicly, and what can be passed on by word of mouth is naturally within the family.
'Isn't that the older the family, the more they can know? '
When Jiang Beiran guessed, Shi Weiyi continued: "One thing is certain, Gu Xiu was indeed a clan in the Xuanlong Continent, and it was a very powerful clan, and even once ruled the entire Xuanlong Continent."
'Well... on this point, it is still not the same as the public opinion. '
When Jiang Beiran first heard about Gu cultivators, it was said that they were besieged by other cultivators because their practice was too cruel.
It is under the banner of absolute justice.
And now Gu Xiu seems to be the ruler of the mainland. Of course, it can still be that the cultivators ruled by Gu Xiu feel that Gu Xiu is too cruel, so they join hands to resist and overthrow the tyranny.
This is barely explainable.
"The legends about Gu Xiu after that are only speculations and sporadic records, so they can't be accurate." After talking about this premise, Shi Weiyi continued: "Because Gu Xiu was unprecedentedly powerful at that time, they turned their attention to the secret realm. The alien continent in the world, in an attempt to dominate more territories.”
"But other practitioners did not agree with this plan, but the Gu cultivators directly dismissed their objections and asked them to go to the new continent to investigate the situation as an advance force."
"Because of this, an internal conflict erupted in the Xuanlong Continent. As you know, it ended with the Gu clan being expelled. As for what happened in the middle, I don't know."
'It means that I don't know the key details at all...'
However, Shi Weiyi's words can basically coincide with the history that Jiang Beiran learned from Yin Jianghong before. Although there are no details of the process, as far as the beginning described by Shi Weiyi is concerned, other practitioners backstabbing the Gu clan is simply Nothing could be more normal.
After all, if I don't cheat you to death, if you are going to cheat me, then you must strike first.
Looking at Jiang Beiran's calm expression, Shi Weiyi kept thinking about a question.
'He suddenly asked me what this meant...'
Although Jiang Beiran expressed his curiosity as much as possible in his tone, Shi Weiyi still didn't believe that he really didn't know anything, because on this continent, the five monsters were most likely to know about this period of history Three days, because there are the oldest families in the whole continent in these secret realms, and naturally they know the most.
"Noran."
Just as Shi Weiyi kept thinking about why Jiang Beiran wanted to do this, Cao Jinghua suddenly came over and shouted.
After hearing this, Jiang Beiran and Shi Weiyi turned around and cupped their hands towards him, saying, "Senior Cao (Master Cao)."
Nodding his head, Cao Jinghua looked at Jiang Beiran and continued: "We tried all kinds of communication methods just now, but they all failed. Now the few of us intend to go out to find the sects of some old friends. They are still in the future. , I am afraid that something unexpected will happen."
"It's really a big trouble..." Listening to Cao Jinghua's words, Jiang Beiran felt emotional.
When rescuing Wanhuazong just now, Cheng Yanqing discovered that the communication method of his sect had failed.
Like the various sect families that Jiang Beiran has seen, there are many "communication" methods in Tongguo.
The token-style "walkie-talkie", the "BB machine" made by Yujian, and so on.
But as the miasma spread, it became a communication that basically relied on shouting.
This is undoubtedly a masterpiece of Gu Xiu. As for the reason, according to Jiang Beiran's analysis, the crux of it is still the miasma.
Because no matter what kind of communication method, including his kite transmission, it is inseparable from the use of spiritual energy. It is precisely because the spiritual energy pervades the entire continent that the kite can go anywhere.
But if it encounters a magic weapon like Feifu that can disturb the aura field, the kite will lose its direction.
And this miasma obviously has the same effect. While polluting the spiritual energy, it also completely interferes with its function, making many profound arts that originally rely on spiritual energy lose their effect.
Jiang Beiran also tried to send a few paper kites to his disciples, but he has not replied so far, which is enough to show that the means of communication have indeed failed.
He cupped his hands towards Cao Jinghua: "Senior Cao, do you want this junior to go with you?"
"Yes, I know this trip is dangerous, but we will take care of you."
"Since Senior Cao has said so, then this junior will follow suit. When shall we set off?"
"It's a matter of urgency, and we're leaving now."
"it is good."
After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he returned to Feifu, and followed Cao Jinghua and the others out of Yuancheng again.
'quiet… '
After flying for a period of time, the situation in the miasma can be said to be so quiet that it makes people feel a little hairy.
Especially Shi Hongyun and those Xuansheng who fought fiercely outside all day yesterday, it was obvious that Gu cultivators were raging everywhere yesterday, but why is it so peaceful today.
This tranquility before the storm reminded the Profound Sages of a long-lost emotion.
disturbed.
In the anxiety, the three Feifu landed on Qimu Mountain, which is the gate of Destiny Sect, and the suzerain is Cheng Yanqing's good friend, because it is the closest to Yuancheng, so they came here first.
Looking out through the Sky Eye Formation, Jiang Beiran found that it was even more exaggerated. There was no fish Gu cultivator. This sect was as quiet as if nothing had happened.
Outside the big formation protecting the mountain, Cheng Yanqing got down from Feifu and shouted: "Brother Chongjun, is he safe?"
Soon, a figure flew out from the sect.
"Greetings, Headmaster Cheng." The figure bowed his hands to Cheng Yanqing, "My ancestor went out when the miasma came, and he hasn't returned yet. We are also very anxious."
Cheng Yanqing nodded after listening, and asked again; "Has your sect been harassed by those monsters?"
The middle-aged man nodded immediately, "Not long before you came, those monsters were still surrounding our sect, but they suddenly retreated now. I'm still thinking about what happened, so it was you who arrived."
Cheng Yanqing naturally knew that those Gu cultivators could not be scared away by him, so he was even more puzzled.
But he didn't have time to think too much: "Since that's the case, you should first gather the disciples in the sect. Now that all the sects in Tong Kingdom are gathered in Yuancheng, it's too dangerous for you to stay here."
The middle-aged man was startled when he heard this, he didn't expect the situation to be so serious, after all, he had never encountered Xuansheng level Gu cultivators, so he hadn't deeply felt the horror of these Gu cultivators.
But since even a Xuansheng-level powerhouse like Zhangjiao Cheng asked him to take refuge, it meant that the situation was already very dangerous.
But the middle-aged man showed a hint of hesitation after hearing this. After all, the whole family left the clan without the ancestors personally telling them, so they would never dare to do such a thing.
Cheng Yanqing obviously saw his worry, and didn't explain too much, but let several other Xuansheng walk out of Feifu together.
"Hurry up and organize your clansmen to follow us. Now all the sects and families in Tong Kingdom are in Yuancheng, and your ancestors won't blame you if they know about it." Cao Jinghua took the lead and said.
Seeing so many Profound Sages appearing in front of him, the middle-aged man didn't have any hesitation anymore, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Thank you all saints for coming to rescue me, I'm going to gather my clansmen now."
Seeing Wu Yurong turn and leave, Cheng Yanqing frowned and said: "You should have heard what Yurong said just now, what do you think is going on?"
The Gu cultivators who were attacking Destiny Sect retreated collectively, which is really strange.
Cao Jinghua thought for a moment, and said: "No one can be contacted now, and guessing is useless, let's save some more first, and by the way, look around on the road to see what happened."
The other Xuanzongs had no choice but to nod silently after listening to it, after all they couldn't think of any better way.
Although they usually have great abilities, but in front of this miasma of unknown origin, they really can't show it at all.
After returning to Yuancheng with the disciples of Destiny Sect, Cao Jinghua and the others continued to search for the next sect without stopping.
Until late at night, Cao Jinghua and his party, who had already rescued three sect disciples, were even more inexplicable.
Because their situation is the same as that of Destiny Sect, the Gu cultivators who attacked them suddenly withdrew, and there was no news of their own Profound Sage.
It's as if the collective disappeared...
