Chapter 121 Love is a shackle, gratitude is a rope

"Senior, I'm afraid Qingyuan can't do as you wish." Gu Qingyuan said while holding up the Taoist crown.

Xi Jing, who was laughing in the rain, suddenly stopped: "Qingyuan, you..."

"Senior Xijing, why do you think I can watch you go on an adventure alone?" Gu Qingyuan gently pushed the Taoist crown towards Xijing.

"Is it my attitude of being aloof from everything, or my secretive and cautious character," Gu Qingyuan looked at Xi Jing blankly as he took the Taoist crown, "that made you think I was unwilling to go with you?"

"Besides, you are never alone!" Gu Qingyuan pointed his hand, and a barrier that blocked prying eyes shattered in the rain, like a lens cracked by raindrops.

This restriction had been set up during the conversation in order to block detection by others and conceal the aura. Xi Jing had already noticed Gu Qingyuan's actions, but he thought that he did not want to reveal their conversation and conceal it from everyone, so he did not take it to heart.

This restriction is extraordinary and magical. It separates the inside and the outside. People outside cannot detect changes in the aura inside, and people inside are naturally blocked from their spiritual sense. Moreover, Gu Qingyuan has added a little bit of something to this restriction.

As soon as the ban was broken, Xi Jing was stunned.

Then the sound of footsteps was heard, walking through the streets and puddles, like a tragic song in the sound of rain.

The night is dark, but beneath this darkness, countless people in white are gathering together.

With Kongming leading the way, several hundred people walked out with the aura of a mighty army.

Clang——

He drew out his sword, stabbed the blade into the soil, knelt on one knee, and the rain soaked his white robe.

"Master, slaying demons is the duty of our true disciples. I am willing to go with you."

Behind him, everyone was dressed in white and holding a sword, as if they were a replica of Xi Jing. Their upright figures like sword spines were broken for just one person.

"You...you guys." Xijing took a few steps forward.

You know, in the orthodox sect, one only needs to bow to the heaven and earth. Only one will kowtow to one's own teacher, and when one meets uncles and uncles from other branches, one only needs to bow to greet them.

"We have all heard what the Sect Master said. The road to immortality is bumpy. It is nothing more than the pursuit of longevity. All cultivators in the world are greedy for life and afraid of death, but a real man is born between heaven and earth. There are things we should do and things we shouldn't do. Uncle Xijing's careful teachings are still vivid in our minds. We will learn and imitate them." Kongming stroked the white robe that was wet by the rain.

"We have learned the master's swordsmanship and supernatural powers, so how can we not learn the way of being a human being? If we do so, wouldn't it be a case of losing the big picture for the small? As for the matter of climbing the floating land, I am willing to go with you, even if I die, I will never regret it."

The voices of the people in white behind him were not as excited, but more powerful, and they said in a low voice:

"I am willing to go with you, even if I die I will have no regrets."

"Does Senior Xi Jing really think that he has no prestige in the sect?" said Gu Qingyuan, who changed the ban, played the conversation between the two people publicly, and lured Kong Ming and his group over.

Xi Jing knew that he was the one behind this, and looked at Gu Qingyuan: "Qingyuan, you...ah, you have given me a difficult problem."

He looked at the half-kneeling man in white again: "As a Purple Mansion, I don't even have the power to protect myself. If you build your foundation and go with me, won't you be a burden to me!"

The voice was harsh but weak, and he almost said the word "trash and burden". The white-clothed disciple remained silent. "Senior, you are worrying too much. While you were sorting out the affairs in the city, I sent people to investigate the floating land. The outer robbery beasts are all those who have practiced fetal breathing and Qi training, and there are few who have established their foundation. It's a good opportunity for them to practice. We can't always keep them under the protection of the Purple Mansion!

Besides, even if a Purple Mansion Realm Tribulation Beast arrives, if you and I join forces, even if a hundred of them come together, we can buy some time for them to evacuate." Gu Qingyuan said.

In recent days, the situation has been turbulent, and Zifu has been affected in every way. He is in charge of the overall situation, and all the Zifu are running back and forth, and his disciples are just helping out and doing some miscellaneous tasks.

The black soil floating land calamity beasts are mutating rapidly and there are many of them. How many manpower can be spared by the remaining Purple Mansion alone? Once the beast disaster breaks out, the backbone force of this group of foundation building realms will be relied upon. The Purple Mansion is the last resort to rescue in times of crisis. Soldiers against soldiers and generals against generals is the correct way.

As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never tire of fighting. The calamity beast has been updated to several versions, and this group of foundation-building disciples have never fought against it. This is not good. I am afraid that if Fu Lu moves abnormally, I don’t know how much loss they will suffer and how many lives they will have to sacrifice before they can learn a lesson.

Gu Qingyuan believed that a Zifu like Xijing Taixu could see and understand this truth clearly, and it was not that he was hard-hearted, he just wanted to be safe. After all, these disciples could be said to have grown up under their care and were all taught with great care. It would be good if fewer disciples died.

'After all, no matter how close or distant we are, it all comes down to love.'

Gu Qingyuan thought so. He had not been idle these days. He went to explore early and had a clear understanding of the situation inside the floating land. However, he did not go deep into it. He retreated after just one exploration.

He looked at Xijing again.

"Besides, if I don't put these shackles on you, Xijing, I'm afraid you will never come back."

When does a sword cultivator have the greatest killing power? It is only when risking one's life. There is great terror between life and death, and the most powerful power can be unleashed.

Xi Jing said that if they were to go and investigate, they would have to go deep into the core, where more than a hundred Purple Palaces gathered. If they wanted to force their way through, they would have to risk their lives, and risking their lives would mean life and death.

Gu Qingyuan was really worried that Xi Jing would go there alone, and come back with the intelligence jade mirror and box weighing two and a half kilograms.

With this group of foundation-building disciples, Xi Jing has some concerns and will certainly not be too radical.

"After all, I only have a few acquaintances like these. If one of them dies, I'll be very distressed."

Gu Qingyuan has always been selfish. He is not afraid to use dirty means for his own benefit and is also cruel and ruthless. He has not killed many people, but the two-in-one Dongquan almost killed through the Sumeru Sea.

It is said that he will kill the demons and the evildoers, but killing is killing. Gu Qingyuan will not say anything like killing to protect life and eliminating karma rather than killing people. Most of those demons have never offended him. They just want to seek benefits and power, so he crushed them. Killing demons and defending justice is just a cover he made up.

But he also clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment, and is willing to make some plans for those who have done him a favor. Besides, Xijing is a noble gentleman, and who doesn't want to be friends with a gentleman? Even a self-righteous and mean person like Gu Qingyuan is willing to make one or two gentleman friends.

Xi Jing looked at Gu Qingyuan: "You said you would send someone to investigate. Who would you send? That place is Zifudu Qingyuan. You won't go there alone, right?" His words were a little anxious.

Gu Qingyuan waved his hand: "I am very timid, Senior Xijing thinks highly of me."

As he spoke, he moved to the side and a person appeared.

Blood robe, blood sword, devil's cave and spring.

Dongquan bowed and said, "I am the little demon Dongquan from the Purple Mansion of Xumi Sea. I greet the Grand Master of the Great Dao Guanxijing Sect."
