Chapter 267: An Even More Mysterious Identity

On the plains.

It was a scene of devastation and corpses strewn all over the ground.

Over half of the 1,000 contestants had already lost their lives.

The remaining people were those who did not attack.

However, Gu Xi did not intend to let them off.

One had to know that among these people, there were some who had attacked Little Nine previously. Moreover, since they were able to gather here, it also meant that they all had targetted Little Nine.

These people deserved to die!

“Kill them all.” Gu Xi gave another order without hesitation.

Little Jin blinked his eyes and immediately wanted to attack again.

Seeing this situation, everyone could not help but turn pale and their legs and stomachs trembled.

On the other hand, Wang Zhan’s expression was extremely gloomy. In front of so many people, he did not know whether to retreat or not. For a moment, he did not know what to do.

He thought that he was strong, but if he went over, he would probably end up no better than those people from before. With Gu Xi’s current hatred for him, he might suffer an even worse fate.

However, if he did not go over, once this matter spread, it would be a huge loss of face! Even if he could walk out of this place, perhaps the entire Hehuan Sect would not be able to raise their head in the future, and its reputation would plummet.

“Bastard!” Wang Zhan clenched his fists and could not help but curse angrily.

All of this was because of Gu Xi!

On the other side, just as Little Jin was about to make a move, Little Nine by the side suddenly trembled and immediately slowly returned to her human form.

At this moment, her face was deathly white, like a piece of white paper.

Gu Xi frowned and hurriedly released his spiritual power into her body, and his expression gradually became ugly.

As he had expected, the injuries in Little Nine’s body became even more serious.

The spiritual power of the ancient demonic beast that was running around became even more rampant. Due to Little Nine continuously depleting her own spiritual power, the spiritual power in her body was greatly weakened. Her body was increasingly unable to suppress spiritual power.

‘I can’t drag this on any longer!’

This was the first thought in Gu Xi’s heart.

If this continued, Little Nine’s body would probably be completely destroyed. At that time, even the great Gods would not be able to save her!

Gu Xi looked deeply at Wang Zhan, who was not far away, and said, “Little Jin, let’s go.”

Although he also wanted to kill Wang Zhan here and now, in order to quickly suppress the injuries in Little Nine’s body, he had not choice but to leave first.

Moreover, as the leader of the Hehuan Sect this time around, Wang Zhan would definitely have his own special life-saving methods. Even if Little Jin made a move, he might not be able to kill him in an instant.

If he continued to attack now, he would undoubtedly be risking Little Nine’s life!

Roar…

Little Jin let out a low roar. It seemed to have sensed the changes within Little Nine’s body and did not choose to continue fighting here. Gu Xi leaped while supporting Little Nine as they landed on Little Jin’s back. Following a loud and clear dragon roar, Little Jin swiftly rushed out of the valley.

Following Gu Xi’s departure, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. Only then did they realize that they were all covered in a cold sweat. Their appearance was extremely embarrassing.

On the other hand, Wang Zhan’s body was still tense. He did not dare to relax even a little.

It was only after the time it took for an incense stick to burn that his tense body gradually relaxed. He let out a long sigh.

He really could not understand why Gu Xi did not choose to kill him.

‘Could it be that the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox’s injuries have become more serious?’

Recalling what he had seen previously, Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

If that was the case, would Gu Xi only have one divine beast by his side now?

This also meant that Gu Xi’s battle prowess was immediately cut in half.

This was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Without having the time to savor the taste of failure, Wang Zhan once again had the thought of attacking Gu Xi. After all, if he had the chance to obtain a divine beast, failure was nothing.

Turning his head to look, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surged into his eyes, causing Wang Zhan’s heart to tremble.

Over a thousand people had surrounded and killed the four people from the Medicine King Valley. He had never thought that it would end up like this.

The surviving contestants were gradually gathering at this moment. Some of them chose to leave this troublesome place in a hurry, while others looked at Wang Zhan.

“Brother Wang, about our reward…” Someone in the crowd spoke up.

“Reward my ass! Did you kill Gu Xi for me or capture a demonic beast? You haven’t done anything and you still have the nerve to ask me for a reward?!”

At the mention of this matter, Wang Zhan’s embarrassment turned into anger, and his anger poured out toward that person.

That person’s face alternated between green and white from being scolded, but in the end, he helplessly sighed.

Seeing that everyone was somewhat discouraged, Wang Zhan gradually withdrew the fury on his face. He chuckled and said, “As for the reward, it’s not like there aren’t other opportunities…”

…

Somewhere on the planar battlefield.

Boom —

Following a deafeningly loud sound, a steep mountain wall shattered with a loud bang, revealing a large cave entrance.

Amidst the flying smoke and dust, a few blurry figures slowly walked out.

If Gu Xi was here, he would definitely recognize that the person in the lead was Su Lian.

“There aren’t many good things in this Secreat Realm.”

Su Lian curled her lips in dissatisfaction and patted the dust off her body with her jade-like hands.

“You’re lucky to be able to find the Secret Realm. Why are you still nitpicking?”

Beside her, a plump woman dressed in white scolded her.

“I was just joking,” Su Lian shrugged and said with a smile.

At the same time, a milky-white bird rushed over from afar and landed on Su Lian’s shoulder. It chirped beside her ear.

A moment later, the bird flapped its wings again and left. On the other hand, Su Lian’s charming face was full of surprise.

“What happened?” seeing this, the woman in white asked curiously.

Su Lian smiled charmingly and explained, “Wang Zhan led thousands of people to attack the people of Medicine King Valley at the sixth gathering point of demon beasts. In the end, he lost more than half of his people, and Gu Xi escaped.”

Surprise also surfaced on the white-clothed lady’s face when she heard these words.

“Was it that Gu Xi who killed them?” a lady behind her hurriedly asked.

Su Lian shook her head and continued, “I’m not sure. I heard that there were demonic beasts helping Gu Xi. However, I don’t know the specifics.”

“Looks like this Gu Xi is indeed extraordinary.”

The white clothed lady smiled. She immediately turned around and slowly walked in a certain direction. However, her voice was slowly transmitted over, “Quickly find the next gathering point of the demon beasts. If we don’t obtain some points, they will be far ahead of us this time around.”

The few female competitors from the glazed tile sect quickly followed after her voice sounded.

“Gu Xi, your identity is making me more and more curious.”

“I hope you stay alive, so we can meet again.”

Su Lianzhen raised her head slightly and looked at the location of the sixth gathering point.
