Chapter 311 Xia Feichen, you really like archery, don't you?
After hearing Gu Gan's words, Yu Sui did not answer immediately, but turned to look at Mei Liangyu. She noticed him wiping the blood from the corner of his lips and frowned slightly.
Gu Gan saw these details and felt very uncomfortable.
When Mei Liangyu saw Yu Sui looking over, she blinked slightly, indicating that Yu Sui should handle it herself.
Yu Sui shook her head at Gu Gan and said, "Brother Gu, it's better if we go our separate ways. Senior Brother has too many enemies, and so do you. It's not good to travel together at night."
Gu Gan never imagined that he would be rejected by Yu Sui one day.
And it happened right in front of Mei Liangyu!
Reason tells Gu Gan that Yu Sui is right to say that, but emotionally, Gu Gan finds it hard to accept that these words came from Yu Sui.
This principle could have been pointed out by Qian Ying or spoken by Mei Liangyu, but it could not have been uttered by Yu Sui.
Yu Sui's words meant that she would not choose to leave Mei Liangyu alone; she wanted to stay with Mei Liangyu.
Gu Gan's mind was buzzing, and his forehead was throbbing with pain. He took another deep breath and told himself to endure it.
Before he could figure out how to persuade Yu Sui, Sha Qian and his group caught up with him again.
Xiang Feifei, who had followed, also spoke up, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and move!"
Sha Qian, who was in pursuit, sneered, "Gu Gan, if you're going to back down, then go ahead and run!"
Sha Qian was not alone. He joined forces with his disciples who had long disliked Gu Gan and had grudges against him, and launched a siege against Gu Gan during the Hundred Families Night Parade. In short, they wanted Gu Gan to die during this Night Parade trial.
Sha Qian, who emerged from behind the tree using the Wind Control Technique, led seven others to attack Gu Gan on the ground.
These seven people held slender golden iron chains in their hands, forming a large multi-person formation with one hand making hand seals. Each of them was surrounded by flowing golden incantations.
Xiang Feifei exclaimed, "Get out of there quickly!"
"Too late!" Sha Qian's face was ferocious. The moment Xiang Feifei reminded him, the Lingxiao Ghost-Suppressing Bell Formation was completed, and the curse marks that appeared on the ground trapped Yu Sui and Gu Gan in place, unable to move.
Qian Ying saw the golden iron chains in the hands of Sha Qian and his six companions and had a bad feeling. She immediately said to Gu Gan, "Brother Gu, you go first! I'll hold them off!"
"Wait, don't go over there!" Gu Gan frowned as he stared at the golden iron chain in Sha Qian's hand.
How did this famous and rare treasure, the True Spirit Chain, end up in Sha Qian's hands?
Qian Ying was anxious and burst out of the spell seal in the formation. She had just taken a step forward when she was covered by a black bell that fell from the sky, making a loud hum.
"Qian Ying!" Gu Gan shouted urgently, but he had no time to worry about others, as a large black bell fell from above his head.
Gu Ganjiang used the Zhenfeng Thunder to break the binding of the curse seal and retreated, barely dodging the first Ghost-Suppressing Bell. But the second and third Ghost-Suppressing Bells followed him to the ground, determined not to give up.
Yu Sui and Mei Liangyu both unleashed their power, breaking free from the curse seal binding the ground, and dodged the Ghost-Suppressing Bell.
Seeing this, Sha Qian said again, "Shrink the range of the formation! Make sure they have nowhere to escape!"
The seven men wielded the True Spirit Chains, which linked end to end to form a closed circle. Sha Qian began to change formations, shrinking the area of the great formation and pressing forward step by step, reducing the space for Yu Sui and the other two to hide.
Mei Liangyu and Gu Gan's first reaction was to protect Yu Sui and move her to the back, but when their eyes met, they both looked at each other with disdain.
Seeing this, Xiang Feifei and Xia Feichen were about to step in to break the formation and help, but they were held back by Zuo Qiushan and his group who rushed up.
One group wanted to kill Gu Gan, while another group wanted to cause trouble for Yu Sui and Mei Liangyu. Xiang Feifei was held up by Zuo Qiushan and his men and couldn't capture Sha Qian, so she was so anxious that she cursed.
Sha Qian noticed Gu Gan's interest in Yu Sui, so he deliberately sent the Ghost-Suppressing Bell to attack Yu Sui first.
Gu Gan was shocked to see several large bells used to suppress ghosts suddenly rushing towards Yu Sui. He exclaimed, "Sui Sui!"
He used his wind manipulation technique to get to Yu Sui's side and reached out to grab Yu Sui to block her behind him, but Mei Liangyu grabbed his wrist and pushed him back. However, unexpectedly, Xia Feichen, who also came to save people, sent a Moon-Going Arrow from outside the formation.
Xia Feichen summoned the five elements of energy with one hand, which transformed into a swift, white arrow that flew into the arena, aiming at Yu Sui. However, he also wanted to force back the obstructing Gu Gan. Unexpectedly, Mei Liangyu intercepted Gu Gan first and ended up facing the Moon-Going Arrow instead.
Caught off guard, Mei Liangyu was knocked back by the Moon-Going Arrow and fell towards Gu Gan's side.
Yu Sui and Xia Feichen were both stunned by what they saw. The speed was too fast, and neither of them expected such a coincidence. Neither of them had a chance to stop it.
The two could only watch helplessly as Mei Liangyu and Gu Gan were covered by the black Ghost-Suppressing Bell, while the Moon-Going Arrow transformed into a light shield in front of Yu Sui, blocking the falling Ghost-Suppressing Bell.
"Take him down!" Sha Qian was very excited to see Gu Gan trapped under the Ghost-Suppressing Bell. "Have the True Spirit Chains bind Gu Gan!"
The remaining seven people simultaneously raised their hands to assist the True Spirit Chain. The golden iron chain instantly shrank and bound the black Ghost-Suppressing Bell. After all the incantations on the bell were transferred to the iron chain, the bell shattered with a bang.
"Gu Gan! Let's see how you're going to get out of here..." Sha Qian stared at the formation with a victor's air, but stopped abruptly when he saw the two people whose hands were bound by the True Spirit Chains. His expression froze for a moment.
Why is this different from what I expected?
How did he end up being associated with Mei Liangyu?
Gu Gan glanced at the True Spirit Chain binding his left hand, then looked at the other half of the True Spirit Chain binding Mei Liangyu's right hand, and felt like killing someone.
Mei Liangyu then looked at Xia Feichen not far away and said in a chilling tone, "Your 'Moon-Going Arrow' has come at just the right time."
Xia Feichen felt a little embarrassed by what was said, so he simply turned his face away and pretended not to see it.
Mei Liangyu then asked, "Xia Feichen, you really enjoy archery, don't you?"
As he spoke, he walked towards Xia Feichen. Because Gu Gan's body was bound together by the True Spirit Chain, he swayed and was also pulled forward. Gu Gan felt it was humiliating to be led by Mei Liangyu, so he steadied himself and stood still.
As Xia Feichen listened to Mei Liangyu's increasingly gloomy tone, he could hardly hold back.
Mei Liangyu was unable to continue forward because Gu Gan stopped, so she turned around. At this moment, the two men were equally fierce.
The three of them stood in a line, which made the atmosphere seem very strange.
Everyone was shocked and speechless at the fact that the True Spirit Chain had bound Mei Liangyu and Gu Gan. Even Yu Sui hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
The first to react was Zuoqiu Shan. He covered his neck with one hand, his voice still hoarse, but he shouted with all his might: "Spread the message! Mei Liangyu and Gu Gan are bound together by the True Spirit Chain, sealing their Five Elements Qi. At this moment, they are no different from those who use the Peace Technique! Let those who want to kill Mei Liangyu seize the opportunity!"
Sha Qian also came to his senses, his face turning somewhat grim as he said, "Kill Gu Gan first!"
"Don't even think about it!" Xiang Feifei stepped forward angrily, using the Heavenly Secrets Shadow Devouring Technique to create a large area of darkness and hide Gu Gan away.
However, Mei Liangyu, at the other end of the True Spirit Chain, was still exposed. As long as he was there, Gu Gan's location could be easily deduced.
Mei Liangyu stood there, amused by Xiang Feifei's actions.
Yu Sui hadn't expected Xiang Feifei to be so straightforward, only thinking about saving Gu Gan and completely ignoring Mei Liangyu. Looking at her senior brother who had been excluded by Tun Ying, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Suppressing his urge to kill everyone present, Mei Liangyu asked Yu Sui directly, "Is it funny?"
Yu Sui immediately pursed her lips, but a smile still lingered in her eyes.
She darted forward and kicked away the person who tried to grab Mei Liangyu, then grabbed Mei Liangyu and pulled her back, while also pulling Gu Gan out of the Shadow Devouring Formation.
Gu Gan emerged from the Shadow Devourer with an incredulous expression and looked up at Yu Sui.
Xiang Feifei then realized what was happening, gritted her teeth, expanded the range of the Shadow Devouring Technique, and enveloped them all in darkness as they moved.
Xia Feichen then cooperated with Xiang Feifei to effectively stop the pursuers, giving them a chance to escape.
After watching the show, the golden paper figure hiding in the bushes also secretly followed Xiang Feifei's retreat direction.
When Xing Chun and Su Tong arrived at the dormitory, they only heard the news that Mei Liangyu and Gu Gan were bound together by the True Spirit Chain.
This is not good news.
Xing Chun glanced at the Lindao road, which bore many signs of a fight, and then turned a blind eye to look at Sha Qian and the others in the distance.
Who did they arrest?
Su Tong answered softly, "Qian Ying from the medical family, I guess."
Xing Chun pondered, "Trying to lure Gu Gan back to rescue people?"
“Gu Gan won’t abandon her,” Su Tong said. “He’s tied to Gu Gan. If Gu Gan comes back, Mei Mei will come back too.”
“They might first try to find a way to break the True Spirit Chain and tie Meimei and Gu Gan together. He might go crazy and kill Gu Gan first.” After Xing Chun finished speaking, he remembered that Yu Sui was also with Mei Liangyu and added, “With Sui Sui with him, he should be more restrained.”
Su Tong was still staring at the captured Qian Ying, muttering, "Wasn't she going to snatch the Purple Flame Ginseng from Yue Zhen? It's good that she's trapped now; we can stall her for a while."
“That’s true.” Xing Chun told Su Tong to hide and keep an eye on Qian Ying and Sha Qian’s movements. They wouldn’t let anyone rescue Qian Ying before Mei Liangyu appeared.
The "Hundred Families Night Parade" has only just begun and already many problems have arisen.
The Taiyi Saints have been strengthening protective barriers in various places since last night, allowing the students to fight to their hearts' content during their nighttime journeys without causing too much damage.
Wu Huaiwei and her group were repairing the barrier on the road where the Yin-Yang School and the Daoist School met. After hearing about what happened at the academy, the three deans of the Yin-Yang School looked at each other.
Liang Zhen was affixing defensive talismans to the gate of the Xiangyun Palace by the roadside when he asked without turning his head, "You already knew about Nangong Sui's advancement of eight realms overnight?"
Yin Ziwu smiled without saying a word, while Wu Huaiwei immediately denied it: "I have no interest in other people's apprentices, how would I know so much?"
Zou Qian exclaimed, scratching her neck casually, and said, "What does this have to do with me?"
Liang Zhen smiled and didn't press the matter. Li Qiuwen, who was also putting up talismans, sighed, "Elder Chang's insight is as sharp as ever. None of the disciples he takes on are ordinary people."
Wu Huaiwei gave a light snort, her gaze turning critically to Li Qiuwen: "Dean Li, it sounds like you'd much rather be Elder Chang's apprentice."
Li Qiuwen's eyes widened in disbelief as she spoke: "How is that possible!"
Wu Huaiwei still said venomously, "Anyway, your Taoist school and the Ghost Taoist school have quite a history. You can switch to the Ghost Taoist school and become Master Chang's disciple. It's not too late. When that happens, it will definitely shock the academy more than Nangong Sui's eight consecutive advancements."
Li Qiuwen felt a little wronged by what she said and looked at Liang Zhen: "Why is she taking her anger out on me when we're talking about Elder Chang's apprentice?"
Liang Zhen comforted him, "You'll get used to it."
Li Qiuwen knew that Wu Huaiwei had a grudge against Sage Chang Gen, and assumed that Wu Huaiwei had offended him by praising Sage Chang's disciple. So he suggested, "Dean Wu, you can also take on disciples."
Upon hearing this, Wu Huaiwei covered her mouth and laughed, "Do you think I haven't taken on any apprentices because I can't find any? Dean Li, how come you've become so stupid after just one trip?"
Li Qiuwen: "..."
Fortunately, at this moment, the messenger paper figure that flew back brought new news, easing Li Qiuwen's embarrassment and depression.
Li Qiuwen couldn't help but say, "One is Elder Zhu's disciple, and the other is Elder Chang's disciple. It's quite interesting that they're bound together by the True Spirit Chain."
Yin Ziwu said with a smile, "These two don't get along. If they're tied together, it might turn into a life-or-death struggle."
“How could that be?” Li Qiuwen said. “For the sake of their master, they would all know their place.”
Wu Huaiwei laughed when she heard this: "Do you think Mei Liangyu is a sensible child?"
Zou Qian also said, "Master Zhu's apprentice is also notorious for his lack of manners."
Li Qiuwen was stunned by what they said and became insecure, saying, "It's not that serious, is it?"
After Liang Zhen finished affixing the talisman in his hand, he said to Li Qiuwen, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go back for a bit and come back later."
Li Qiuwen nodded and watched him leave.
Zou Qian also glanced at Liang Zhen, who had walked away, her expression thoughtful.
Taoists gaze upon the mountains and the sea, where steep cliffs are constantly battered by the crashing waves. The surging seawater crashes against the cliffs, each wave higher than the last.
Looking out from here, there is an endless sea.
The young man stood on the dangerous mountain wall and stretched out his hand. In his large palm lay an unawakened paper messenger figure.
"Senior brother," Liang Zhen said to the paper messenger, "I have a request."
The waves surged up with overwhelming force, completely engulfing Liang Zhen's head. After a moment of shock, the giant waves collapsed and fell back down, splashing up countless droplets.
The paper doll that carried the message in the young man's palm stood up and walked lightly toward the giant wave. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a golden bird and flew away through the waves.
