Chapter 1257 Trap? You actually lied to me!
"Who goes there?!"
As soon as Gu Xiu approached, the red-robed man, who had been on the verge of death, instantly became alert.
Because of the strangeness of the place, Gu Xiu did not make any rash moves, but walked forward slowly. However, his eyes narrowed quickly because he found that the man in red robes was actually twisting the dagger that was originally stuck in his heart.
This guy wants to die!
I want to die right now!
Without any hesitation, Gu Xiu's Void-Breaking Shoes flashed and he instantly teleported in front of the red-robed man. He then grabbed the man's dagger, but unfortunately, the man's heart meridian was already shattered and even his consciousness was beginning to dissipate.
Gu Xiu simply took out another pill and threw it into the other person's mouth.
This pill could only keep the person alive for a while, but it did allow the person to live temporarily, and even regain consciousness.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Gu Xiu asked, but the man just stared at Gu Xiu with resentment, unwilling to say another word. He even tried to continue stirring the dagger, clearly wanting a quick death.
Without hesitation, Gu Xiu directly used his divine soul power.
Soul search!
But soon, Gu Xiu frowned.
The soul search failed. There was a strange power in this person's soul. If Gu Xiu tried to search the soul by force, the soul would be instantly destroyed. Not only would he not be able to find anything, but it would also backfire on Gu Xiu.
What ruthless methods!
There are ways to prevent soul searching. In Haoyu, most sects have methods to prevent soul searching, mainly to avoid protecting their sect's secrets and the inheritance of their cultivation techniques, but most of them are quite conservative.
But the soul within this person was completely like a porcelain doll, or even a porcelain doll already full of cracks. Forget about soul searching, if his soul were to be touched even slightly, it would kill the other party instantly.
"Heh, you think you can uncover my secrets? You have no chance. I advise you to let me die now, otherwise you're just wasting your time." The red-robed man sneered.
Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but the other party spoke again:
"I know you're going to use some kind of torture, but I advise you to give up on that idea. My loyalty is not something you can measure. If you don't want to die, I suggest you stay out of other people's business, or you'll only get yourself into trouble."
The man's face was full of arrogance, as if he didn't take Gu Xiu seriously at all. His attitude said it all; soul searching was impossible, and even torture wouldn't break his will.
but……
"You really think I know nothing about you?" Gu Xiu laughed, his laughter even more disdainful and arrogant than the other party's.
"Stop pretending. How could you possibly know my identity? You're just trying to trick me!" The other party remained firm, but in reality, there was a hint of panic in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on Gu Xiu.
This already raises some doubts.
Gu Xiu knew perfectly well what was going on, but he looked at the other person with sympathy: "I admire your loyalty, but I also feel pity for your foolishness."
"You think you're so great and heroic right now, don't you?"
"But you're nothing but a pathetic wretch who's been deceived. The secrets you cherish are nothing but trifles to me. What do you think I'm here for? Why do you think I'm here?"
顾修一个劲地啧啧啧，简直把碎星欠揍的反应完全复刻了出来。
His expression and his words.
And sure enough, it really did change the red-robed man's expression.
Yes!
Why did this person come here?
Their operation was clearly very well hidden and extremely secretive, so it should have been impossible for outsiders to discover it. Why was this person able to get so close, and why did he seem to really know a lot of secrets?
more importantly……
If he really knows the secret, then why is he here?
He was a devout believer, unwavering in his faith, so he was confident he could withstand soul-searching and torture, since he was not afraid of death.
Can……
Looking at Gu Xiu's confident gaze, his crooked mouth showed no sign of impatience, as if he had already seen through everything.
"There's a traitor among us? Who is it?" The man in the red robe couldn't help but ask incredulously.
Gu Xiu shook his head and denied it directly: "What traitor or not, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you still have doubts about your loyalty to your partners? I just happened to come and watch the show by accident, don't overthink it."
He spoke with such sincerity, an unprecedented sincerity, as if it were the truth.
But it was precisely this sincerity that made the red-robed man's face turn deathly pale. Almost instinctively, he began to move his body, even trying to stop the bleeding from his chest.
He envisioned a terrible consequence.
If there is a traitor among them, then their operation is a trap!
But if it's a trap...
He cannot die, he absolutely cannot die, the plan cannot be completed!
He began to move with all his might, even though he was already weak from being on the verge of death, he still tried his best to move out of this place where he was waiting to die. He couldn't let the plan go as scheduled.
The consequences are too severe!
Just as he was struggling to move, Gu Xiu directly made a hand seal, and vines appeared without warning, binding him firmly in place.
He was actually stopping me!
You guessed right, it was a trap!
No!
I can't die like this. I can't let the trap succeed. I don't care if this operation fails at the last minute. I absolutely cannot let my master's plan be used by others!
He was still struggling desperately. Perhaps his will to survive was too strong, or perhaps the person who had come to entangle him was too weak. The vines wrapped around him began to break off one by one as he struggled.
"you wanna die!"
Gu Xiu's face instantly darkened, and then he made another hand seal, and a transparent ice shield appeared on the other person's body, sealing his struggling body again.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
"How dare you obstruct the master's arrival! You deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"
"Lord Bei, you must be people sent by Lord Bei! You treacherous villains, you actually plotted against us, trying to harm our master! You will not succeed, I will absolutely not let you succeed..."
A series of angry roars rang out, and the opponent appeared extremely agitated, desperately slamming into the transparent ice shield in front of him with tremendous force, even creating a spiderweb-like crack in the ice shield.
Gu Xiu seemed somewhat exasperated, still trying his best to trap the other party in place, appearing to be fighting desperately with him.
A series of thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant.
Has the master arrived?
So they're doing this to release the master he's talking about?
He also mentioned the Northern Lord?
Does that mean that Bei Jun is not one of them, or even hostile to them and wants to sabotage their operations?
"Bang!"
"Splash!"
While Gu Xiu was still probing, he saw the person finally break through the ice shield in front of him. Then, without any hesitation, he fell headfirst and crashed heavily to the ground, rolling out of the area of the strange symbol.
Gu Xiu was about to press for answers when the other man, bleeding from all seven orifices, stared at him triumphantly: "You've failed. The master won't come out. No matter what your plans were, you've failed, hahahaha!"
The other party laughed wildly, and his life force vanished in an instant.
As he was laughing, the man in red robes suddenly noticed an aura that he was already very familiar with bursting out from both sides.
This is……
He hurriedly turned around, only to see that the aurora barriers on his left and right sides were advancing madly toward his side without warning, and the area of the Three Enclosures Sea of Sin was greatly reduced.
You're lying to me!
He suddenly realized what was happening and tried to climb back into the strange symbol, but unfortunately, he was already exhausted. No matter how hard he tried, he could only collapse unwillingly on the outer edge of the symbol.
He glared fiercely at Gu Xiu, cursing this despicable person who had deceived him a thousand times over in his heart.
He hates it!
Because he had already realized that this plan was going incredibly smoothly, and he was the only one who had affected it!
Gu Xiu ignored his venomous gaze and looked at the crack that had appeared on the aurora barrier behind him.
The cracks seemed to have been completely opened up, and the entire body remained a dark black color.
But Gu Xiu's gaze seemed to pierce through the darkness and see the world behind the crack.
That was a world entirely composed of monstrous demons!
And in that world.
The light from the three bright moons poured down continuously, connecting to form several white ribbons that resembled silk.
At the end of that ribbon stood twelve altars.
In each altar, a figure stood quietly, and the one closest to the easternmost altar had trembling eyelashes and a furrowed brow, as if he might open his eyes and wake up at any moment.
