Chapter 100: Ambush
Feng Jiu Ge quickly left the auction and met with the Central Continent Gu Immortals.
"I have sent you the message regarding the auction." Feng Jiu Ge looked at everyone with a smile.
"Lord Jiu Ge made a really good move, such courage, I am in admiration."
"With Zhao Lian Yun, we can search her soul and find many precious clues regarding the main culprit of the Imperial Court incident!"
"Everyone, although we obtained Zhao Lian Yun, the clues available to verify the true culprit are probably not enough. If there were enough clues, Northern Plains' Gu Immortals would have already discovered the truth and the perpetrator would have nowhere to hide. However, I found someone who is suspicious." Feng Jiu Ge said.
Feng Jiu Ge continued: "But this person has hidden themselves too deeply, I never was able to find out their true identity, to find this person, we must start from the host of this auction."
"Lord is talking about Qin Bai Sheng?"
"Qin Bai Sheng not only has outstanding strength, he also has many favorable social connections. If we are going against him, we need to use all our strength to strike as quickly as possible. If we let him escape and ask for assistance from his allies, the situation will turn for the worse."
In another area, a fight had already started.
"He Lang Zi, you really have guts, you actually dared to attack our Chanyu tribe!" The Gu Immortal who was ambushed shouted in fury.
"Hmph, what is there to not dare? So what if you are from Chanyu tribe? No matter how powerful the immortal killer move winged blade is, can it save you now? Just be obedient and hand over that sandalwood sacred elephant egg, and I shall let you go." A giant wolf, the size of a small hill, spoke with an eerie gaze, in a human voice.
"He Lang Zi, you have hidden your cards well. You actually have an informant in the auction! Didn't you call yourself a lone wolf, moving alone and disdaining interaction with other Gu Immortals? Hmph, if you have the guts, then place a stake against me in battle. If you win, I will immediately hand over this sandalwood sacred elephant egg to you.
If you lose, then join our Chanyu tribe and serve for a hundred years!" The Chanyu tribe Gu Immortal shouted.
He had just spoken, when he heard the sound of a woman's laugh coming from nearby.
A black light flashed, and three Gu Immortals appeared.
"You are Hei Cheng?" The Chanyu tribe Gu Immortal carefully observed and quickly recognized their identities, "Also Fairy Jiang Yu, hmm? Why is Xue Song Zi of the demonic path with you?"
"Chanyu Zhong Er, I know you have the immortal killer move, immemorial flame axe. But thinking of using this move to battle He Lang Zi and recruit a rank seven as a boon for your tribe is too naive." Fairy Jiang Yu continued to smile.
Chanyu Zhong Er's expression sank, as the other party had spoken accurately.
Xue Song Zi laughed loudly: "If it was your big brother here, Chanyu Shang Yi, we would have a headache. If it was your younger brother, Chanyu Xia San, we would have dispelled any intention of ambush. Unfortunately, you don't have the defensive prowess of your big brother, neither do you have the speed of your younger brother, today your defeat is certain!"
Chanyu Zhong Er's expression became more unsightly, he stared fixedly at Hei Cheng and shouted: "Hei Cheng, you are a righteous path Gu Immortal, you built your reputation over so many years, do you not want it? If this matter were to be exposed or just a rumor of it is spread, you will be condemned by the public and hunted down like a rat!"
Hei Cheng's eyes flickered with hesitation, but Fairy Jiang Yu transmitted him a message, making him firmly resolute.
Without saying anything, he waved an arm, from which a dark arrow flew out, straight towards Chanyu Zhong Er. He used action to show his resolution!
Snowy Mountain blessed land.
Third branch peak.
"Dream realm?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard Fang Yuan's words and his gaze flickered, he showed a grim expression.
He sighed: "No wonder Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan did not attend the auction, they were trapped in a dream realm. I had been guessing earlier if Hei Lou Lan's tribulation was causing them trouble."
Fang Yuan nodded: "Old Bai, you guessed correctly. Most likely, the tribulation caused them to be stuck in a dream realm, unable to free themselves."
"When Gu Immortals undergo tribulation, there can be dream realm calamities?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng asked in suspicion.
Fang Yuan sighed: "Not in the past, but now that dream realms have manifested, such calamities and tribulations have appeared gradually."
"What do we do now? According to the Snowy Mountain Alliance, we cannot abandon them." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was helpless, he asked Fang Yuan.
Just as Fang Yuan was pondering, Snowy Mountain blessed land shook.
"We welcome Old Ancestor's arrival." Soon, several demonic path Gu Immortals spoke from their respective mountain peaks.
"It is Old Ancestor Xue Hu! He has his own grotto-heaven, he almost never comes here, why is he here now?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed.
The moment he said that, he heard Old Ancestor Xue Hu's voice, resonating through the blessed land: "All of you, come to the main hall and see me now, I have an important matter to discuss with everyone."
"As you command, Old Ancestor." The demonic path Gu Immortals shouted in unison.
Figures of Gu Immortals rapidly flew out from the mountain peaks.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression paled, he said: "Oh no, Fairy Li Shan is still in a dream! If she does not appear or say anything, Old Ancestor Xue Hu will definitely get suspicious and come here to check. We can escape with Fixed Immortal Travel, and Fairy Li Shan would not be attacked.
But Hei Lou Lan is the problem, she is not a member of Snowy Mountain and is a key character who has experienced the True Yang Building incident. Once she is captured and has her soul searched, we are all doomed!"
…
Bam bam bam!
While an intense explosion sounded out, Chanyu Zhong Er was fleeing rapidly.
Behind him, there was a huge wolf sprinting out of the smoke, opening its bloodthirsty mouth and speaking a human language: "Chanyu Zhong Er, where are you trying to escape to?"
Chanyu Zhong Er continued to escape as he yelled with a panicked expression: "He Lang Zi, Hei Cheng, don't go too far, otherwise, I will drag you guys down with me! Immemorial flame axe!"
Before the attack even landed, the scorching flames already burned some of the wolf's fur.
But facing such a powerful attack, He Lang Zi's gaze shined with disdain and mockery.
Swoosh.
The huge wolf vanished, evading the immemorial flame axe and blocking Chanyu Zhong Er's escape route.
"No matter how fierce the attack, what good is it if you cannot hit?" Fairy Jiang Yu appeared, floating in the air.
"Damn!" Chanyu Zhong Er gritted his teeth, his heart sank as his angry and helpless face showed a hint of despair.
"You are distracted." Suddenly, a black robed Gu Immortal appeared behind him.
Chanyu Zhong Er was shocked, quickly retreating as he created some distance.
The mysterious Gu Immortal stretched out his right arm while his palm was aimed at Chanyu Zhong Er: "This distance is enough, now, have a taste of my soul suction Immortal Gu's power."
Chanyu Zhong Er's movements froze, his body turned stiff as his soul shook, it was like there was a huge force trying to pull his soul out of his body.
"Oh no!" Chanyu Zhong Er was shocked, ordinary defensive measures could not defend against such soul path methods.
"Quickly assist me." The black robed Gu Immortal said.
The moment he said that, Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi flew towards him, placing their arms on his shoulders. By surreptitiously using some Gu worms, all three of their souls worked together and formed an even greater force.
"I am unresigned! I am full of hatred, ah, let me go…" Chanyu Zhong Er was unable to resist them, his soul was pulled out eventually.
Without his soul to control it, his body fell downwards from the air rapidly.
But soon after, Fairy Jiang Yu caught it.
She searched it and laughed: "As expected, this fire path Immortal Gu is in Chanyu Zhong Er's blessed land."
Their scheme had succeeded, her mood was great, but just as she was about to continue speaking, her expression changed.
Not only her, at the same time, even the black robed Gu Immortal's hands shook.
He said with a hoarse voice: "Qin Bai Sheng was ambushed, hmph! So this Swordmaster You Lan is an imposter, a Gu Immortal from Central Continent."
"Qin Bai Sheng cannot be lost, quickly go and save him!" Fairy Jiang Yu said anxiously, soaring away without any hesitation or pause.
The black robed Gu Immortal and He Lang Zi followed suit.
Only Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi were left.
"Lord Hei Cheng, do we follow?" Xue Song Zi was hesitant.
"It seems that this black robed Gu Immortal is also a member of Shadow Sect. He Lang Zi might be the same as us, being a collaborator. Shadow Sect, and Central Continent's Gu Immortals…" Hei Cheng's gaze flickered, his body flew up in pursuit of Fairy Jiang Yu and the others.
Xue Song Zi snorted coldly, he quickly followed them.
"Huff huff huff…" Qin Bai Sheng breathed roughly, there were dozens of wounds on him, some were bleeding, some were so deep one could see bones, some of his skin had turned black, emitting a foul odor.
"As expected of a famous expert of Northern Plains, we attacked together and ambushed you, but you still managed to heavily injure three of us." Feng Jiu Ge crossed his arms as he watched, praising with a gaze of admiration.
"Northern Plains Gu Immortals truly have excellent battle strength. Your methods and ours seem to have little discrepancy, yet you managed to make such great battle results."
"Qin Bai Sheng, you are an outstanding person, give up and surrender."
"Our words earlier were truthful. As long as you tell us some people's identities, we will let you leave."
There were Central Continent Gu Immortals all around Qin Bai Sheng.
They opened their mouths as they urged him.
"You want me to surrender?" Qin Bai Sheng raised his eyebrows, spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Bah! Outsiders from another region infiltrating us in Northern Plains. Intruders! I'm tell you, we of Northern Plains are not cowards! Come at me if you have the guts, don't worry, before I die, I will certainly drag one of you down with me!"
Feng Jiu Ge sighed helplessly: "In that case, the rest of you can stand down, I will handle it myself."
Qin Bai Sheng's gaze was heavy as he stared at Feng Jiu Ge.
"I will only use one move, if you can take it, I will let you leave." Feng Jiu Ge flew towards Qin Bai Sheng slowly, his expression was calm as he spoke lightly.
"One move?" Hearing Feng Jiu Ge's words, Qin Bai Sheng laughed with a provoked tone: "I have roamed the region freely for hundreds of years, I defeated Liu Hao, Chanyu Xiong, Nu Er Du, killed Bai Chan Zi, Jade Fire Farmer, Mountain Lord Tian Qing, had a draw with Yuan Rang Zun, and managed to escape with my life from Five Elements Grandmaster.
In the entirety of Northern Plains, only the five rank eight Gu Immortals can defeat me easily. But to kill me, even they would not find it easy. There are very few rank seven Gu Immortals that can rival me. You are also a rank seven Gu Immortal, you want to defeat me in one move? Hahaha!"
Feng Jiu Ge smiled lightly, he slowly narrated: "When I was young, I loved music, when I started cultivating, I had a grand aspiration, that was to create a total of nine songs, to express myself, to express all living beings, and to express heaven and earth. Up to this point, I have created six songs in total.
If you can finish listening to this song of mine, then I will admit defeat and let you leave."
Qin Bai Sheng's laughter gradually came to an end, he had a serious gaze as he stared at Feng Jiu Ge unblinkingly.
Looking at Feng Jiu Ge, who had a earnest tone and a smiling face, Qin Bai Sheng felt an immense threat deep within himself.
He thought for a moment and greeted Feng Jiu Ge solemnly: "I have not asked for your name yet."
Feng Jiu Ge greeted back: "I am Feng Jiu Ge."
Qin Bai Sheng's expression changed: "So you are the number one person of Central Continent's ten great ancient sects, no wonder. Hahaha, in that case, let me see what you can do."
Feng Jiu Ge breathed in deeply, bowing slightly: "This song, is known as Green Jade Song, please enjoy it."
The rest of the Central Continent Gu Immortals backed off and created a wide open space for them.
"Come." Qin Bai Sheng shouted, his gaze was like lightning as his battle intent rushed out, he was oozing with grandeur.
