Gui Li took two steps back and stood shoulder to shoulder with Hong Yuan.
"This person is probably the legendary Daoist Baibao who perished here."
Although I said that, I felt something was off.
According to the information obtained, Baibao Daosheng was a master at the half-step Tribulation Transcending stage in his lifetime.
Even if they are only one door away from ascending to the Immortal Realm.
If he hadn't been besieged by multiple people and perished, he would surely have been able to ascend to the Immortal Realm.
Are cultivators at the Mahayana stage really that powerful?
Gui Li was not unfamiliar with cultivators at the Mahayana stage.
The other person gave him the feeling of being like a god or a demon, like an abyss or the sea, whose depths could not be seen at a glance.
But after a million years, it's still enough to make Nascent Soul cultivators tremble with fear. Isn't that a bit too outrageous?
In fact, it wasn't just him; Hong Yuan had the same idea.
"It's probably Daoist Baibao. Who else could have perished here besides him?"
The information they had previously received indicated the location where the Hundred Treasures Taoist had perished.
The Daoist of Hundred Treasures lives up to his name, possessing many ancient spiritual treasures.
These magical treasures are all incredibly powerful, and even cultivators at the Refinement or Integration stages are extremely envious of them.
Desperate to obtain the precious magical artifacts left behind, the Ghost Spirit Sect spared no expense, paying a bloody price before finally gaining the opportunity to enter the valley.
If they can obtain the relics of the Hundred Treasures Daoist, the strength of the Ghost Spirit Sect will increase significantly.
At that time, there might be an opportunity to unify the Azure Sky Continent.
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
Before even entering the bronze hall, everyone was eager to get started.
But when they saw the figure on the throne, they all hesitated to move forward.
Gui Li and Hong Yuan couldn't gauge each other's strength, so they dared not approach easily.
Gui Li looked to his right and gave the order without further ado.
"Gui Tian, go and get his storage bag."
Gui Tian shook his head repeatedly and even took several steps back.
"No, I'm not going."
Gui Li looked embarrassed, his eyes filled with a sinister killing intent.
"What does this mean? Do you dare disobey my orders?"
Gui Tian felt uneasy under his gaze, but refused to take a single step forward.
"It's too dangerous. Anyone who goes in this situation will die. You're the senior brother, why don't you go?"
Normally it would be one thing, but for a mission like this that could be fatal, who would dare to step forward rashly!
Gui Li then looked at the others.
Anyone whose gaze fell upon them took a few steps back.
Some even released protective spiritual light, as if they were afraid that Gui Li would attack them.
None of the people present were fools.
No one would rashly attempt a task that could very well cost them their life.
Moreover, the ones carrying out this mission are Gui Li and Hong Yuan.
If they successfully complete the mission, they will receive numerous rewards from higher-ups.
Their entourage also received a share, but the reward was definitely far less than that of Gui Li and Hong Yuan.
They take all the benefits, while I have to take the risks. What kind of logic is that?
Gui Li's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand to teach the group a lesson.
As soon as he raised his hand, Hong Yuan gently pressed it down.
With the combined efforts of the husband and wife, they truly possessed an invincible presence in their respective realms.
However, facing more than a dozen fellow cultivators was still a bit of a challenge.
No matter how unwilling Gui Li was, he had no other choice.
"If none of them want to go, are you expecting us to go and get the treasure?"
Upon hearing his telepathic message, Hong Yuan's lips curled into a dangerous smile.
"Of course not, I have a better candidate."
After saying that, she took out the red jade tablet that she had previously put into the bronze door.
Hongyuan gently shook the jade pendant, her sharp eyes fixed on Guitian.
"Go and take the storage bag off the throne."
Gui Tian refuted him without even thinking.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not going. It's too dangerous. Let whoever wants to go go."
Just one glance at it and my eyes popped out; if I were to get close, I'd be reduced to ashes.
Hong Yuan wasn't angry and slowly walked to his side.
Under Hong Yuan's watchful gaze, Gui Tian unconsciously knelt down on the ground.
His head was pressed firmly to the ground, and no matter how much spiritual power he unleashed, he was completely unable to resist.
Hong Yuan smiled faintly, then raised her foot and stomped hard on his face.
His expression was extremely sinister, yet his tone was incredibly gentle.
"If you listen to me, you can leave alive. If you're no longer of any use, then you can die here now!"
Spiritual energy flowed down his calves, making the force even greater.
Gui Tian could even hear the sound of his skull cracking.
Even if you dare to utter a single word of dissent, you might be crushed by the other party.
Seeing this, Gui Tian stopped resisting and said resentfully, "I'll go."
Upon hearing this, Hongyuan's face blossomed into a beautiful smile.
"That's more like it. There are no cowards among the cultivators of our Ghost Spirit Sect."
The other cultivators were already dumbfounded.
"What did you do to him?"
Gui Tian, despite being a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, was utterly powerless to resist.
When facing Hong Yuan, he was like a servant, completely at her mercy.
Hong Yuan smiled and shook the token in her palm.
"Didn't I tell you? The token that opened the gate earlier stored your blood and automatically formed a contract, so you are now my blood slaves."
I can send you on your way anytime I want.
It was as if to verify the truthfulness of the words.
The cultivators of the Ghost Spirit Sect all knelt on the ground, completely out of control.
Their blood boiled like flames, coursing through their bodies and burning their tough veins.
