He had consumed a large amount of real energy just now, which made the meridians in his body feel swollen and painful. If he could not recover in a short time, he might not be able to hold on for long before he would explode and die.

Time passed, and a stick of incense passed in the blink of an eye. The true energy in Gu Xiao's body slowly recovered, and his face gradually returned to rosy.

"Huh?" Gu Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Fang Qingcheng beside him.

Her pretty face was flushed, her whole body was sweating, her lips were purple, and thin black lines were faintly visible on her forehead.

"Oops, she's been poisoned." Seeing this scene, Gu Xiao's heart suddenly became anxious. Fang Qingcheng was the daughter of the Fang family. If something happened, he would be the one to blame.

But now Gu Xiao couldn't care so much. He immediately stretched out his finger and pointed at Fang Qingcheng's eyebrows, and the pure essence flowed into her body continuously.

However, what surprised him was that just when his true essence touched the meridians in Fang Qingcheng's body, a layer of light blue halo suddenly lit up, blocking his true essence.

"Sure enough, there is something fishy." Gu Xiao sneered, and immediately strengthened the amount of real energy delivered without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the meridians in Fang Qingcheng's body began to tremble, and then a faint green mist floated out, quickly condensing into a group of green droplets.

Gu Xiao's pupils shrank to the size of needles, and his expression was gloomy. This green thing was the Gu worm in Fang Qingcheng's body, but now the Gu worm had been forced out.

"Huh..." Gu Xiao let out a long breath and looked a little tired. It took a lot of effort to expel the poisonous insects.

"Brother Gu, how are you?" Fang Qingcheng asked worriedly, her beautiful eyes full of concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, but you..." Gu Xiao looked at Fang Qingcheng's pretty face, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes.

Fang Qingcheng blinked her bright eyes and explained softly: "I was practicing ice attribute skills just now, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Fang Qingcheng's pretty face suddenly turned purple, and her body twitched violently, as if she was suffering from huge pain.

"No, the poison in her body has broken out." Gu Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately supported the swaying Fang Qingcheng.

Fang Qingcheng frowned tightly, stared at Gu Xiao with dull eyes, and murmured: "Brother Gu..."

"Don't be afraid! I'm here!" Gu Xiao took a deep breath and put his hands on Fang Qingcheng's jade shoulders. The true energy in his body poured out crazily and injected into Fang Qingcheng's body, suppressing the Gu insects in his body.

"Ugh!"

Soon, Fang Qingcheng's delicate body began to tremble violently, her cheeks turned red, her teeth bit her red lips tightly, and large beads of sweat slid down her fair forehead, looking extremely painful.

At this time, Fang Qingcheng felt hot and hot all over his body, and strange thoughts emerged from his mind involuntarily.

"Don't think wildly!" Fang Qingcheng tried hard to control his emotions and did not dare to continue to think wildly.

"Chi chi chi..." Suddenly, green liquid seeped out of Fang Qingcheng's body surface, and her face became increasingly rosy.

"ah!"

At this moment, Fang Qingcheng suddenly screamed and kicked his legs hard, as if he wanted to throw Gu Xiao away.

"Qingcheng, what's wrong with you?" Gu Xiao asked anxiously.

"Pa..."

The next second, Fang Qingcheng suddenly grabbed Gu Xiao's neck and threw him to the ground.

Gu Xiao felt a dull pain in his chest and almost fainted.

"Ahem..." Gu Xiao coughed violently several times and struggled to get up, his face full of anger.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Shen Suhua stood aside with a pale face.

"Humph! What else can we do? Get out of here quickly." Gu Xiao shouted coldly and rushed outside first. He didn't want to stay in such a ghost place for too long.

Shen Suhua and Fang Qingcheng looked at each other and followed Gu Xiao out of the cave.

However, Gu Xiao didn't notice that after they left the cave, the pile of dead branches and leaves in the cave were instantly corroded, and even made a "squeaking" sound, and wisps of smoke rose up, which was creepy.

After a cup of tea, the bushes at the entrance of the cave shook slightly, and immediately three figures jumped out from inside.

"Hiss..." The three of them couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"There are so many dead bodies here?" Among the three, the younger one with a mustache looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

I saw a dense pile of white skeletons at the entrance of the cave. I don't know how many there were. Each skull was covered with horrific bloodstains, dripping with blood and exuding a fishy smell.

"As expected of the ruins of the Nanling Prince's Mansion, even the body can be preserved so completely." The man in the green robe at the head praised. His name is Yang Yun, and he is a late-stage warrior in the Tianwu Realm. The other two are named Yang Feng and Yang Lei. The strength of the three of them is only Weaker than Yang Yun.

"Never mind this, since we have met, it's an opportunity." Another burly man said, and then took the lead to take a step into the dark cave, followed closely by Yang Lei and Yang Yun.

After walking out of the cave, Gu Xiao and the others were completely dumbfounded. The sight in front of them shocked their souls.

In front of them is a vast desert, with huge rocks standing hundreds of meters high, and stone pillars reaching into the sky, leading into the unknown void, as if they are isolated from the world, which is daunting.

Gu Xiao's eyes swept across the desert and finally stopped on an ancient tree.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Gu Xiao felt a majestic pressure coming towards him, causing his face to change slightly.

"This is this?" Gu Xiao was stunned when he saw the dense vines wrapped around the big tree. These vines gave him a very familiar feeling, very much like the Soul-Eating Demonic Vine he got back then!

Gu Xiao did not dare to neglect, and quickly circulated his true energy to explore the information about the vine.

The next moment, his figure suddenly froze in place, with an expression of horror and shock on his face.

"The Heaven-Devouring Earth-Devouring Technique, is this actually the legendary Soul-Eating Demonic Vine?" Gu Xiao's eyes widened with a look of shock on his face.

Gu Xiao once heard that the soul-eating demonic vine has endless vitality, is not afraid of water and fire, is invulnerable to weapons, and has the terrifying power of devouring souls. It can be called a heaven-defying treasure.

According to records, only strong men in the holy realm can cultivate it.

But now the soul-eating demonic vine appears in the illusion of Fang's Nanling world, which makes Gu Xiao wonder whether someone deliberately framed him?

After all, who would want to hand over such a heaven-defying treasure to a stranger?

"What exactly happened here? How could there be so many soul-eating demonic vines? Could it be that a strong man from the holy realm was buried here?" Gu Xiao frowned and thought.

Although Gu Xiao had many guesses in his mind, he did not jump to conclusions. Instead, he carefully looked around and looked for a way out.
