Chapter 253
Gu Shihan and Xingbai entered in the moment the man in black came out and hid aside.
The gray-clothed man flashed like a ghost and entered the formation with the two restrained monks.
His voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, hoarse and low: "Follow me closely, don't fall behind!"
The two monks had faces full of helplessness and despair. Their spiritual powers had been sealed and they were like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
It was simply a pipe dream to want to escape. The only option now was to risk his own life and follow the footsteps of the man in black. Perhaps he could live longer.
Gu Shihan and Xingbai followed them carefully, passing through a rocky area.
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the front. It turned out that one of the men slipped and staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Gu Shihan's gaze was instantly drawn to his left, where he saw a deep stone pit.
There were more than a dozen corpses lying in the pit. What was creepy was that although these corpses had not been dead for a long time, they exuded a strange black smell.
“Hanhan, you see, these corpses have all been corroded by demonic energy, so they have not rotted but have taken on this black and gray color. It is clear that the owner of this place must be a demon cultivator.” Xingbai said solemnly.
Gu Shihan was shocked when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "Demon cultivators? But shouldn't demon cultivators stay in the Demon Realm? Why did they come to our Immortal Realm? What exactly are they planning?"
For a moment, her heart was filled with doubts and uneasiness. Xing Bai said in a deep voice: "This matter is definitely not simple. It seems that there are many people involved behind it."
Gu Shihan nodded, "Let's be careful. Judging from the situation here, it won't be a short-term thing. I guess this demon cultivator is colluding with the immortal cultivators, otherwise..."
The two continued to follow the man in black carefully, and soon a wooden house appeared in front of them.
The man in black brought two monks into the house, and Gu Shihan and Xing Bai used invisibility to sneak in.
At the top of the hall inside the house sat a man in a black robe, surrounded by demonic energy.
The black-robed man saw the monks being escorted and nodded with satisfaction. "Lock them up in the dungeon and prepare to transport them to the mining area with the others," the black-robed man ordered.
Gu Shihan and Xing Bai looked at each other and decided to go to the dungeon first to see if they could rescue those monks.
They followed the men in black to the direction of the dungeon. There were several men in black guarding along the way, and the situation seemed quite strict.
Two other people were found in the dungeon, one of whom was the man named Lin Feng, and their spiritual powers were all restrained.
"Hanhan. Are you going to save them now?"
"No! Let's go to the so-called mining area and take a look! You keep an eye on when they are sent away, and I will go to meet the man in black robe." Gu Shihan changed his mind immediately.
"Let's go together. It won't cause any trouble! I'm worried if you go alone! Isn't Yutong waking up yet?" Xingbai muttered.
"Who are you! Come out! I told you not to walk around unless necessary!" The person in the wooden house seemed to sense something and rushed out, looking around sharply.
A man in black knelt down with a plop and begged loudly, "Master, I accidentally touched the gravel, please spare my life!"
"Please spare my life. Okay. Let's go to the dungeon and mine together for ten days." The man in black robe snorted coldly and went back to the wooden house again.
"That was a close call, I thought we were exposed!" Gu Shihan said carefully.
"Hanhan, you underestimate me. He is just a celestial being. He cannot see through my power of confinement. Let's go inside the wooden house and take a look."
The two entered the wooden house and saw a man in black robe practicing with a magic stone. It was now completely certain that this man was a magic cultivator.
Xing Bai explored the cabin and said, "Hanhan, there are boxes of magic stones in the other room, but the quality is only medium. I guess they are produced in the mining area. There are at least 1 billion of them. Collect them!"
As the two were whispering here, another man in black came over with three monks.
The man in black robe waved his hand and said, "There is another team coming back. When they come back, they will send them directly to the mining area. You all go and mine for me."
"Yes!" The man in black responded and retreated. He frowned and said, "There is nothing to do in this mining area. It is time for me to return to the Demon Realm. My eyebrows have been twitching violently these past few days. I am afraid that unexpected disasters are coming. It is better to go back early!"
Gu Shihan and Xing exchanged a glance and said, "Get started! Xingbai, hold us here and don't let the sound of fighting get out and alert the men in black."
Gu Shihan rushed out first, and the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword was instantly unsheathed. The sword energy was overwhelming and stabbed straight at the man in black robe.
Gu Shihan's attack was fast and fierce. The man in black was caught off guard and injured by the sword energy. He took several steps back.
The man in black robe was furious. He waved his hands and demonic energy surged out, pouncing towards Gu Shihan like two giant black pythons.
Gu Shihan was agile and dodged skillfully. He swung the sword in his hand several times and stabbed at the man in black robe again.
Xing Bai quickly formed a seal on the side, and a transparent restriction enveloped the wooden house, blocking out the sound.
The man in black robe saw that Gu Shihan's swordsmanship was sharp and knew that he should not be underestimated. He took out a black bead from his arms and muttered something.
In an instant, the bead released a strong black light, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.
Gu Shihan only felt a huge suction force pulling him, and he immediately used his strength to steady his body, injected spiritual power into the tip of the sword, and the sword body shone brightly.
At this time, Xingbai also joined the battle, and a ray of starlight shot towards the black bead in the black-robed man's hand.
The black bead was hit, its light dimmed, and its suction power suddenly decreased. Gu Shihan seized the opportunity, approached the black-robed man like lightning, and slashed his arm with a sword.
The black-robed man felt pain, and his magic power burst out, knocking the two men away. "Today's revenge will be avenged tomorrow!" The black-robed man said this harshly, and tried to open the teleportation array to escape.
Gu Shihan was not willing to give up, so he threw a talisman and stuck it on the teleportation array, rendering it ineffective.
The man in black robe looked in a miserable state, with a look of fear on his face. He had no power to fight back under Gu Shihan's fierce attack and could only keep retreating until there was no way to escape.
"Who are you? How can you be so powerful?" The man in black robe raised his hands high, made a gesture of surrender, and asked in a trembling voice.
Gu Shihan smiled coldly, staring at the man in black robe with a sharp gaze, and said: "It doesn't matter who I am. Since you choose to surrender now, as long as you answer my questions truthfully, perhaps I can give you a chance to live and let you leave in peace!"
Upon hearing this, the black-robed man nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay! Fairy, just ask your questions!"
Gu Shihan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Why did you take the risk to come to this fairyland?"
