Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 287 The Broken Thread
Gu Xiaoxing's attempt to "mediate the fight" failed, and without any other sects joining in, the Soul-Devouring Sect's competition ended quickly.
There was no suspense about the result. Xiao Zhuhuo took first place with absolute advantage, without even trying hard. Even Gu Nianxue and Du Xu were no match for him, and they could only come in second or third in the end.
As for the others, they were watching with great fascination. Although this was only a competition among Qi Condensation cultivators, it was extremely exciting, especially Zhu Huo, Gu Nianxue and Du Xu, who performed particularly well!
The people from these sects and forces never imagined that the Soul-Devouring Sect would actually have such a genius. When they thought about the three immortal foundation fortunes that they had asked the owner of Dahao Bao Pavilion to find for them, they must have been prepared for these three people to build their foundation.
I'm afraid that soon, there will be three more geniuses in the Soul Devouring Sect who can rival or even surpass the Goddess Xiaohuang. The Soul Devouring Sect will truly rise, and will be unstoppable from then on!
At the same time, everyone secretly felt lucky that they did not let their own disciples go up to compete. Wouldn't that be asking for a beating?
After the competition is over, a group of ten people will come over, and Gu Xiaoxing, as the sect leader, will personally present awards to them.
Little Candlelight jumped and skipped to Gu Xiaoxing first, with an expression as if she was about to praise me.
Gu Xiaoxing was smiling and ready to give her a slap on the head. Xiao Zhuhuo seemed to have noticed something was wrong, so she smiled awkwardly and hid behind Xu Qianxing.
Gu Xiaoxing then looked at the remaining nine people. Seeing how nervous they all looked when facing him, Gu Xiaoxing also felt emotional and said, "You are the hope for the future of the sect!"
Several people were flattered when they heard this, but they couldn't hide the excitement and pride .
Gu Xiaoxing nodded with satisfaction, then looked at two of them and said, "Xiao Xu, Nian Xue."
“Master!”
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue stepped forward at the same time and saluted respectfully.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, especially the people from the Soul-Devouring Sect. Many of them did not know that Sect Master Gu actually already accepted a disciple!
Some people who knew Du Xu and Gu Nianxue were surprised. No wonder they had changed so much recently.
Gu Xiaoxing ignored the looks of the crowd and took out the three bamboo sections he had obtained from the shopkeeper of Dahao Treasure Pavilion. He gave two of them to the two of them and said, "These are two immortal foundations. Your master will give them to you two. I hope you can remember today, care about the sect, and set an example!"
Du Xu and Gu Nianxue each took a bamboo stick with both hands, then knelt on the ground, bowed deeply to Gu Xiaoxing, and said at the same time: "Disciple will remember the master's teachings!"
The two's voices were choked with sobs, and no words could describe the emotion in their hearts. They had never done anything for their Master, but their Master had always spared no effort in cultivating them. At this moment, they were extremely determined in their hearts that they would prove with their actions that they would never let their Master down.
"Get up,"
Gu Xiaoxing didn't need them to prove anything. After all, there were so many people present, so he just treated it as a formality. Then he looked at the other seven people and rewarded each of them with a spiritual foundation.
Although spiritual foundation fortune is far inferior to immortal foundation fortune, that is only because immortal foundation fortune is too precious. In fact, spiritual foundation fortune is equally rare.
When all the disciples went down, Gu Xiaoxing immediately felt a pair of expectant gazes, and he directly threw the remaining piece of bamboo over.
Xiao Zhuhuo caught it immediately. If there weren't so many people here at the moment, she would have gone up and given her uncle a big kiss.
But just when Xiao Zhuhuo was overjoyed, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from Gu Xiaoxing. Xiao Zhuhuo trembled all and felt the fear again. Her uncle at this moment made her afraid.
It was more than just a small candle flame. At this moment, everyone present felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them, making it difficult for them to breathe. The power that suddenly erupted from Gu Xiaoxing was too powerful. Even those who had reached the great perfection of the Jindan stage felt that Gu Xiaoxing in their eyes was irresistible.
Everyone's faces changed color at this moment, including the owner of Dahao Baoge and Master Bai.
"Xiaoxing, what's wrong?" Even Xu Qianxing felt a little scared at this moment.
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the sky above with a dull expression. Everyone was curious about what he saw that caused his temperament to change so suddenly.
“Xiao Xing…!”
Xu Qianxing shouted again with a trembling voice, until Gu Xiaoxing slowly lowered her head and looked at him. Xu Qianxing's body trembled, and she realized that his eyes were already filled with hideous bloodshot.
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them. He then looked at the many guests, and said in an extremely gloomy voice, "Everyone, the meeting is over, please go back."
Everyone had no idea what was going on and why Gu Xiaoxing suddenly ordered them to leave, but what they did understand was that Gu Xiaoxing at this moment was not to be messed with!
They all stood up and left without anyone even asking a question. Among them, the Yunxiao Sect and the Bugulei Sect left the fastest. In fact, they had been feeling very uneasy and had wanted to slip away a long time ago.
"Master Gu, what exactly happened?" Finally, the shopkeeper of Dahao Baoge, who had to stay in Gucheng and therefore did not need to leave, stepped forward and asked.
"Sorry, it's just a personal matter!" Gu Xiaoxing bowed to the shopkeeper to express his apology.
The shopkeeper also discovered that Gu Xiaoxing seemed to be on the verge of going berserk, so he stopped asking questions and tactfully flew towards Gucheng to prepare to accommodate him in the Dahao Baoge.
In the blink of an eye, only a group of people from the Soul-Devouring Sect were left on the floating island that was once crowded with guests. They looked at , and they also had no idea what had happened to their sect leader.
At this time, Master Bai also walked over and cast a puzzled look at Gu Xiaoxing.
Gu Xiaoxing also bowed deeply to Uncle Bai, but did not say anything. Instead, he pulled Xu Qianxing and Xiao Zhuhuo together, rubbed their heads, and said, "Wait for me to come back!"
The two women were stunned at the same time. Before they could even react, Gu Xiaoxing had already soared straight into the sky and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Zhuhuo still held the bamboo tightly in her hand, but she no longer felt any joy. Instead tears blurred her eyes. She looked stupidly at the direction where Gu Xiaoxing left, and asked Xu Qianxing in a trembling voice, "Where is Master going?"
Xu Qianxing was silent. The only thing she knew was that something big had happened, something that Gu Xiaoxing cared about very much!
Master Bai looked upward with them, his expression equally heavy.
How high is the sky?
The cultivators who have been to Xuantian Territory will tell you that it soars straight up... to ninety thousand miles!
And Gu Xiaoxing was going upwards, constantly upwards. At this moment, he wanted to break through the horizon and go to the ninth heaven!
Because, just now, there was that "line" between him and Dongfang Yu.
It’s broken…!
