Everyone in the Xuanyang Sect was horrified at this moment. It looked like Gu Mingqiu was seriously injured.
As soon as the heavy sword light was withdrawn, Wu Kuangzun stood proudly with his sword. As the leader of a sect and the number one warrior in Jiangzhou, he naturally kept his word and only used three moves after saying three moves.
Gu Mingqiu exploded back tens of meters in the sky before stopping, looking a little embarrassed.
There was a penetrating wound on his chest, from his chest to his back, with blood pouring from both ends of the wound.
However, as a fourth-level master of the true way, his true energy is so deep. Gu Mingqiu quickly suppressed the injury with his profound cultivation, and the bleeding from the wound quickly stopped.
puff--
After only two or three breaths, Gu Mingqiu spurted out another mouthful of blood and looked at Wu Kuangzun with a sharp look.
Gu Mingqiu shouted angrily: "You actually poisoned the sword?"
Wu Kuangzun chuckled and did not deny it, but asked: "I poisoned my own weapon, can't I?"
"Despicable...!" Many true Taoists from Xuanyang Sect shouted angrily.
Wu Kuangzun sneered and said: "I dare to do what I do, so why should I be despicable? However, your Xuanyang Sect should not act despicably. You are willing to admit defeat and hand over Gong Zhenchun!"
Gu Mingqiu's face was livid. Not only was he poisoned by Wu Kuangzun, but he also had to hand over Gong Zhenchun, the elder of the Tianji Sect. This was really depressing.
However, a warrior's promise is as important as a mountain, not to mention that Gu Mingqiu is the leader of a sect with an extraordinary status, and a promise worth a thousand gold. If this bet is lost, no matter how unhappy he is, he can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
Gu Mingqiu's true energy was deep. With the surging true energy, he suppressed the poison in his body and stopped the poison from spreading. He said in a deep voice: "Bring Gong Zhenchun out."
Fang Tieshan, the head of the execution hall, personally escorted Gong Zhenchun out.
Gong Zhenchun's anger was restrained, but his expression was full of arrogance, and he laughed loudly: "I have already said that you will let me go obediently, now you know you are afraid, haha...!"
The Xuanyang Sect warriors all stiffened when they heard this, especially Gu Mingqiu, who really felt very useless after losing to Gong Zhenchun like this.
But at this moment, Wu Kuangzun was on the winning side, and Gu Mingqiu had no choice but to let Gong Zhenchun go as promised.
Fang Tieshan released Gong Zhenchun's seal. Gong Zhenchun regained his true energy and immediately rose into the sky and flew to Wu Kuangzun's side.
"Thank you, sect master, for the rescue. However, my treasure bag is still in the hands of Xuanyang Sect and was taken away by Luo Fan, an outer disciple."
Gong Zhenchun quickly clasped his fists in thanks to Lord Wu Kuangzun and pointed out that all his things had been taken away by Luo Fan, a disciple of the Xuanyang Sect.
When Wu Kuangzun heard this, he raised his eyebrows and glanced around, like a fierce eagle looking for a chick.
Immediately, Wu Kuangzun locked his eyes on Gu Mingqiu and said: "Who is Luo Fan? Hand over all Elder Gong's belongings."
Gu Mingqiu's face turned green. Although he suppressed the poison in his body with his deep Qi, it was extremely difficult for him.
If he cannot cure this poison, he will have to rely on his true energy to suppress the poison for the rest of his life and will be unable to practice.
His true energy will gradually be depleted, but it will not be improved. If things go on like this, it can cause damage to people's minds and hearts. This is obviously Wu Kuangzun's purpose, so that Gu Mingqiu, who is at the fourth level of the true way, can no longer practice.
Even, as the true energy is gradually consumed, the cultivation level may deteriorate over the years.
As the number one person in Jiangzhou, Wu Kuangzun made a three-move agreement with Gu Mingqiu, but regardless of his status, he smeared poison on the sword. His purpose was very clear - even if he couldn't kill you, he would be crippled.
you!
Although Gu Mingqiu was defeated and poisoned, he was still very calm and said: "Wu Kuangzun, in our three-move agreement, we did not mention Gong Zhenchun's items. You only mentioned Gong Zhenchun. Now,
, Gong Zhenchun returns his belongings to you, so stop daydreaming!"
Wu Kuangzun looked angry, but he didn't expect that Gu Mingqiu would take advantage of the language leakage.
When Gu Mingqiu handed Gong Zhenchun over to Wu Kuangzun, it was not considered as a promise of a bet.
Now that people have been handed over and beaten, no matter what trick Wu Kuangzun wants to play about the bet, Gu Mingqiu will not be able to take it anymore. Unless it is a robbery, Gong Zhenchun's items may not be in the hands of the Xuanyang Sect.
Want to come back.
Wu Kuangzun narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The things belonging to my Tianji Sect are not that easy to get. Gu Mingqiu, it is best to hand over the things, otherwise... your Xuanyang Sect may not have a good life in the future."
Gong Zhenchun's face was full of hatred, and he said: "And Luo Fan, that little beast, must be handed over, otherwise Xuanyang Sect will never have peace from now on."
Although Gu Mingqiu was poisoned and his momentum was sluggish, his expression was firm and he said coldly: "Then you can take it based on your strength! You can get out now! Wu Kuangzun, today's revenge will be calculated tomorrow!
"
After saying this, Gu Mingqiu took out a token, shook it, and the token glowed with light.
It is the leader token of Xuanyang Sect and the formation control center of Xuanyang Sect.
Suddenly, formation patterns appeared on the ground all around Xuanyang Peak, and an inexplicable murderous intent suddenly enveloped the entire Xuanyang Peak.
These large formations are the foundation of Xuanyang Sect. If they are activated, even the powerful ones at the fourth level of the True Dao will suffer.
Seeing Gu Mingqiu activating the sect's formation, Wu Kuangzun, and Gong Zhenchun all showed fear in their eyes. Without saying anything, they quickly escaped and left Xuanyang Sect.
Gu Mingqiu collected the sect leader's token, and the formation patterns around Xuanyang Peak suddenly dimmed and disappeared without a trace.
"metropolitan!"
"Sect Master, how are you?"
…
The true masters of Xuanyang Sect all flew into the sky, came to Gu Mingqiu's side, and asked anxiously.
Gu Mingqiu's face had turned from blue to pale, and he said: "Although this poison can't kill me, it is extremely difficult to remove. Next, I will have to retreat for a period of time. I will have to use detoxifying pills to remove the poison from my body."
Refining may take a long time."
Gu Mingqiu looked at Zhao Hongcheng and said: "Senior brother, during the period when I am in seclusion to clean up the poison, you will still manage the sect. This sect leader's token will also be temporarily kept by you. All affairs in the sect will be decided by you.
If the Tianji Sect really goes to war against the Xuanyang Sect, they can rely on the sect's large formation to defend themselves. In my current state, it will be useless if I don't remove the poison. It's not a chance for the sect's survival, so there's no need to look for me."
Gu Mingqiu took out the clan leader's token and handed it to Zhao Hongcheng.
In the past, when Gu Mingqiu went into seclusion, he always carried the sect leader's token with him, but this time he gave it to Zhao Hongcheng. Zhao Hongcheng felt the seriousness of the matter.
Zhao Hongcheng said slightly worriedly: "Junior Brother Gu, can you refine the poison in your body?"
All the Zhendao experts opened their eyes wide and looked at Gu Mingqiu with worried expressions.
Gu Mingqiu smiled slightly and said: "It just takes a little longer, don't worry, I will succeed. Everyone, I'm back home, senior brother, remember, it's not a chance for the sect to exist, so you don't need to look for me."
After saying this, Gu Mingqiu flew towards the sect master's residence.
Looking at Gu Mingqiu's background, the Zhendao masters looked serious, and their intuition told them that Gu Mingqiu might not be so relaxed this time in seclusion to purify himself.
The patriarch's residence.
Gu Mingqiu gathered his five direct disciples together.
"Master, are you okay?" Zhao Hao asked with a worried look.
Zhao Longtian and Zhou Xuan also looked worried, while Luo Fan and Su Youxuan looked concerned.
Gu Mingqiu slowly shook his head and said: "There is no problem in refining the poison, but it will take a long time. By the time I get rid of the poison, I am afraid that I have already missed the opportunity to practice, and it will be difficult for me to cultivate again in this life."
Progress has been made, hey...!"
Gu Mingqiu sighed, looked at the five direct disciples expectantly, and said:
"You all know that the previous sect leader of our sect, Zhao Dangmo, died at the hands of Wu Kuangzun. It is my responsibility to take over the position of sect leader, revitalize the sect, and avenge Wu Kuangzun.
But if I no longer make progress in my cultivation, I will never be a match for Wu Kuangzun in this life. The matter of avenging Zhao Dang Mo Sect Master will probably fall on one of the five of you.
You must practice hard, improve your cultivation as soon as possible, and become a warrior of the true way. Among the five of you, whoever is the first to reach the fourth level of the true way will take over the position of the sect leader."
The eyes of Zhao Longtian, Zhou Xuan, and Zhao Hao all lit up.
Luo Fan and Su Youxuan's reactions were much lighter. Neither of them were very interested in the position of sect leader.
Gu Mingqiu continued: "Don't be too hasty to be happy. Whoever takes over the position of sect leader will bear the responsibility of seeking revenge from Wu Kuangzun."
The faces of Zhao Longtian and the other two people were obviously stiff.
Wu Kuangzun is not an easy person to deal with. Twenty years ago, he killed Zhao Dangmo, the previous leader of the Xuanyang Sect, in a life-and-death battle.
Today, in the three-move bet, he injured the current sect leader Gu Mingqiu, and also poisoned Gu Mingqiu's future.
The focus of Luo Fan's thoughts was not on the position of the sect leader, and he said curiously: "Master, why did the master kill Wu Baitian, the leader of the Tianji sect back then? So that the two sects became mortal enemies."
The other four direct disciples also showed interest when they heard this question.
Gu Mingqiu thought for a while and said: "It's time for you to understand the origin of the matter. This matter is related to a major event a hundred years ago. At that time, the Mo Luo Cult brought disaster to the Dai Viet Dynasty.
Defined as a demonic force.
If you think about the forces that can be enemies of the Dayue Dynasty, you will know how powerful they are. At the beginning, the two sides only fought in Yuezhou. Later, the Demon Sect was defeated and withdrew from Yuezhou, but the fight spread to
The entire Dai Viet Dynasty of Kyushu.
Jiangzhou was only one of the nine states of the Dayue Dynasty, but it was also affected by the Moluo Sect. At that time, all the major sects naturally responded to the court's call and tried their best to wipe out the Moluo Sect warriors. Xuanyang Sect was no exception. Xuanyang Sect and
The hatred of the Tianji Sect arose during the process of purging the Moluo Sect."
Luo Fan and the other five direct disciples all pricked up their ears and opened their eyes, listening to the story from a hundred years ago with great interest.
Their eyes revealed excitement and curiosity. This was a story they had never heard of.
