Chapter 171 Escape
A peaceful palace was shrouded in billowing dust and smoke. The smoke was like a ghost's cloak, swirling and twisting in the air, completely breaking the peace and tranquility of the fairy palace.

Outside the haze, Wanfu Tianzun waved his long sleeves expressionlessly, and a strong wind suddenly arose, blowing away the rising dust, revealing the collapsed palace, the tilted pavilion, and the scattered crowd...

Everywhere you look, it's a mess. The peaceful fairyland has turned into a dark hell.

Wanfu Tianzun turned a blind eye to this, looking back and forth at the ruins, with a hint of surprise and doubt flashing between his brows.

Gu Yunli is missing.

He could not sense any breath, as if he was completely annihilated in the explosion.

"Search the spirit of the deep and the essence of the universe, and examine the deep and the nothing!"

With a low shout, he suddenly made a secret gesture and started to pursue and explore the mystery.

In an instant, the world changed drastically in his eyes, and all kinds of subtle spiritual powers flowed, filling his vision.

He looked carefully and could not see the Buddha's light or the yellow qi of mixed spirits. Even the breath recorded during the battle had long been mixed in the violent energy turbulence and was difficult to detect.

"Boo! Hah! Hah!"

Rays of light streaked across the sky, and then the Great Emperor Zhenwu came slowly riding on auspicious clouds, leading three thousand heavenly soldiers and generals.

"Wanfu Daoist friend, where is the traitor Gu Yunli?"

"I chased him here, and he disappeared after one strike. However, he couldn't get far. He must have used some kind of hidden magic."

Wanfu Tianzun looked a little ugly. The murderer was lost right under his nose, which was a great shame and humiliation.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhenwu's face changed and he waved his hand. Immediately, heavenly soldiers and generals rushed out from behind him, surrounded the ruins and set up a huge net.

At this moment, a seventh-rank immortal official appeared, bowed with an apologetic smile, and said:

"Little God Gongye Qun, may I ask the Immortal, what happened?"

"The Immortal Court is arresting the wanted criminal. Those who are not interested should leave immediately."

"what?"

Gongye Qun immediately remembered that when he rushed out of the hall, he saw the man who was covered in Buddha's light but dressed like a Taoist priest, and he suddenly realized what was going on.

However, looking at the heavenly soldiers and generals arranging their troops in the sky, he was in a dilemma and couldn't help but humbly said, "Goddess, there are some of my disciples there. Do you think you can help me rescue them?"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu glanced at the inconspicuous immortal official in front of him and said in a cold voice: "The traitor is very good at hiding. If he hides in the crowd and escapes, will you bear the blame?"

Gongye Qun's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he had to shut his mouth.

At this time, there were bursts of commotion in the ruins.

Countless people emerged from the ruins, looking around in confusion. Some were crying, and some were trying to leave, but in return they were scolded by the heavenly soldiers.

"They want to kill us!"

A scream came from the crowd, the sound seemed to have the power to bewitch people, and scared the crowd away in all directions.

"What a death!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu immediately locked onto the source of the sound, grabbed the void, pulled out a dragon-bearing silver spear, and shot it over with a "swoosh".

"puff!"

Instead of seeing the spear passing through the air, the man who was shouting in fear was hit by the spear and thrown high into the air, and was nailed to a collapsed stone wall.

"puppet!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu glanced over and his face suddenly darkened.

At the same time, the crowd was silent.

After a while, they ran away madly in all directions like frightened quails.

"Bah!"

Wanfu Tianzun shouted angrily, trying to stop the fleeing crowd with his Taoist voice.

Unexpectedly, the crowd continued to do as they pleased and ran madly. It was obviously not normal!

"Trapped Immortal Formation!"

The Great Emperor Zhenwu shouted loudly, trying to command the three thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to trap this group of people here.

"It's too late. Kill everyone without mercy!"

Wanfu Tianzun tried to change the order. "Tianzun, you can't do that!"

"Um?!"

"That traitor Gu Yunli is filming a video. The scene in the High Heaven Palace has spread all over the world! If this is filmed, the consequences will be disastrous."

"what?"

Wanfu Tianzun's expression suddenly changed.

The battlefield changed rapidly, and in the moment they hesitated, the crowd had dispersed.

A Taoist boy covered in blood shouted in the crowd:

“This is the source of the calculation!”

In an instant, Wanfu Tianzun and Zhenwu Emperor looked over at the same time.

Then the Taoist boy was seen holding up a square spiritual weapon high up, and in front of everyone, he immediately threw it into the depths of the clouds.

Wanfu Tianzun and Zhenwu Emperor looked at each other. Although they knew that this was a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they still rushed forward together.

However, on the way forward, the two men quickly reached a gentleman's agreement that Emperor Zhenwu would take the source of the counting sticks first and then share them afterwards.

"No, this is fake. This is number one."

The moment the Great Emperor Zhenwu grabbed the spiritual weapon, his expression suddenly changed.

Wanfu Tianzun's face darkened. He took the spiritual weapon and looked at it. He was so angry that his nose was crooked. He turned around and saw that the fleeing crowd was getting farther and farther away. In anger, he immediately sent a message to all directions:

"All soldiers, listen up! Arrest all those who flee. If you encounter anyone who resists, kill them all!"

Compared to reputation, if Gu Yunli was allowed to escape, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame.

At this moment, the three thousand heavenly soldiers and generals who were still trying to form a battle formation suddenly rushed down like wolves and tigers, pounced into the defenseless crowd, and arrested these people who had just escaped death.

Wanfu Tianzun and Zhenwu Emperor narrowed their eyes and overlooked the entire battlefield, trying to find who Gu Yunli was from the chaotic crowd.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not detect anything unusual.

After a long time, almost all the fleeing people were caught.

Wanfu Tianzun and Zhenwu Emperor walked closer and looked back and forth countless times, but could not detect anything unusual.

Just as the situation was about to reach a stalemate, the Great Emperor Zhenwu frowned and his expression changed drastically.

"Damn it, that rebel posted another video!"

Wanfu Tianzun was stunned and quickly logged into the Internet. At this time, the cover of all the video sections on the Internet main page had all turned into the word "injustice".

When I clicked on it, I saw that the popular video was Gu Yunli's escape video.

The first scene in the Lingxiao Palace is needless to say.

The second one is the scene where Gu Yunli is being chased by Wanfu Tianzun.

When the video was opened, it was the scene when Gu Yunli left Lingxiao Palace.

Behind him, Wanfu Tianzun roared like a dragon, and all kinds of magical weapons and supernatural powers came whizzing at him, which looked extremely terrifying in Gu Yunli's camera.

However, as horrible as he is at this moment, he will be as shameful at the end of the video.

At the end of the video, it can be clearly seen that Gu Yunli is mingling among the crowd, and under the noses of the heavenly soldiers and generals, he swaggers into the clouds, attracting countless cheers.

"Awesome! You can even escape like this?!"

“Who is chasing Gu Zhenzai?”

"Is Wanfu Tianzun so weak? Isn't he one of the Ten Great Tianzun?"

"Gu Zhenzai is too evil, he actually used innocent people to avoid disaster?"

"Xiao! Don't blame the murderer, but blame Gu Zhenzai."

"What a waste! Two great golden immortals and countless heavenly soldiers and generals actually let someone escape right under their noses? Unbelievable, the reputation does not live up to the reality!"

With the release of the new video, the world's attention was once again attracted.
