Chapter 357: The Great Disturbance in Nanzhao
Jiang Yunzi trembled all over.
He knew that the high priest was a scheming person, but he didn't expect him to be so sharp.
He immediately said, "I saw that the two guardians at the door were gone. I was just wondering where they went."
"I went to Qingyuzhou to deliver the Blood of the Supreme Yin. How is it going over there, Your Excellency?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thin and tall figure walked out from the shadow of the hall.
Most of his body was hidden in the black cloak, with only half of his pale jaw showing. He looked like a ray of moonlight left in the world, exuding a cold and indifferent attitude that kept strangers away.
Jiang Yunzi placed one hand on his chest and saluted, "Everything is going well over there, but..."
"what?"
Jiang Yunzi said: "There must be something wrong with that person's blood, which caused the poison mist to be less powerful. Most of the people we captured survived."
The high priest frowned, "Is there something wrong with the blood?"
Jiang Yunzi nodded, "Did that person have some illness before? This might be the reason."
The high priest's eyes were cold. "He is indeed ill, but I thought it would not cause any problems, so I did not treat him. Then please come with me to see what the problem is. We are in a critical situation and cannot afford any mistakes."
Jiang Yunzi nodded, "Okay."
After saying this, the two of them walked out of the hall.
Walking into the sunlight, the high priest's skin became even paler. He said in a cold and ethereal voice, "Your Excellency, follow me."
Jiang Yunzi followed behind the priest.
He gestured with his hands behind his back.
Xie Ling Gu Wei understood and immediately followed quietly.
Didn't take a few steps.
The high priest who was walking suddenly turned around, looked around, and frowned.
Fortunately, Gu Wei was good at martial arts and he hid his body and concealed his breath immediately.
Jiang Yunzi looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"
The high priest narrowed his eyes and said, "Nothing."
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two came to a dungeon. The iron door was deep and heavy, with intricate and ancient mysterious patterns engraved on it, as if thousands of entangled snakes were present, lifelike.
The high priest turned around and said, "Your Excellency, I may have to trouble you to step aside for a moment."
As he spoke, the high priest took out a piece of black brocade from his sleeve and said, "Please cover your eyes."
Jiang Yunzi did as he was told.
The high priest pressed a few keys on the iron door. After a heavy "creaky" sound, he reached out and tore off the cloth in front of Jiang Yunzi's eyes.
Jiang Yunzi opened his eyes again and found himself in the passage. The door had been closed again at some point.
He felt a chill in his heart and only hoped that Gu Wei and Xie Ling could catch up.
Although Gu Wei did not see the high priest's actions clearly, he himself was also a master of formations. He came to the gate, observed for a moment, and opened it in just half an incense stick of time.
Inside the gate is a wide circular platform with about seven or eight round arches around it.
Xie Ling observed them one by one, and finally stopped in front of one of them.
"It should be this one, with the firefly powder left by the master."
This firefly powder is made by fireflies. It can leave traces and glow.
After walking for a while, another identical platform appeared, with doors on all sides.
Fortunately, Jiang Yunzi left traces, otherwise it would take a lot of time just to walk through the maze.
This was repeated three or four times. This time, when they walked into the archway, they were both very nervous, fearing that they would encounter a similar scene again.
But fortunately, this time, a ray of light could be seen from afar through the small arch in front.
When he was about to walk out, Gu Wei drew out his sword, stopped, and signaled Xie Ling to stay there and wait for him with his eyes.
Xie Ling knew that her martial arts skills were not as good as Gu Wei's, so she nodded.
Gu Wei was in the open while she was in the dark. If the enemy discovered Gu Wei, she could also catch him off guard and give him a fatal blow.
There is a tall bronze statue outside and a tall altar in the center.
It is very similar to the one in Canglan Prefecture, but more majestic. There is no wind blowing, but you can always feel the strong wind around you, as if you are on the edge of a cliff.
There was a person tied to the central column, or to be exact, a man.
He lowered his head, his long hair covering his face, and his white gown was open, revealing his entire skinny chest, which was now dripping with blood.
Jiang Yunzi is treating him.
"This man has been starving and freezing for years, so his blood is not very pure. It should be fine once I cure him."
The high priest didn't reply for a long while, then smiled coldly.
"Your Excellency, you can let your little tail out now."
Jiang Yunzi's eyes suddenly widened.
Before he could come to his senses, a sharp long knife stabbed straight into his chest.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes and flew over quickly. His sword was as fast as a stream of light and he quickly picked up the knife in the high priest's hand.
The priest was knocked back by the huge impact brought by Gu Wei and fell heavily to the ground.
But he was not panicked at all. He stood up calmly, took the flute at his waist and started playing.
Almost at the moment when the flute sounded, the overwhelming poisonous insects were like waves, instantly filling the entire altar.
Gu Wei’s eyes were cold, and his sword pointed directly at the chest of the man in white.
"Do not kill me!"
The man shouted anxiously, his long hair spread out, revealing a handsome pale face, "Don't kill me, I know where the mother Gu is."
By the time the man finished speaking, Gu Wei's sword had already penetrated half an inch.
Gu Wei drew out his sword and said in a cold voice, "You are the best."
At some point, the position where the high priest was standing slowly rose up and off the ground.
The sound of his flute was eerie and ethereal, just like him.
Jiang Yunzi had a lot of medicine to expel poisonous insects in his medicine bag, but there were so many of them that it was just a drop in the bucket.
Gu Wei's long sword almost left an afterimage as it swung fiercely on the iron chain behind the man.
The man fell heavily to the ground, and in an instant, the poisonous insects submerged his body.
The poisonous insects that were sucking his blood became even more crazy, making crunching sounds.
Jiang Yunzi quickly shouted:
"Gu Wei, take this man away first, don't let him come into contact with the Gu worm! His blood has an accelerating effect!"
"I come!"
Xie Ling held a high-pressure fire gun in both hands. Wherever he went, there were corpses everywhere. He quickly dodged and flew over.
When Gu Wei saw Xie Ling coming, he picked up his sword and flew towards the priest.
The same thing would happen if the priest was killed.
But before he could reach the priest, a black barrier formed by poisonous insects blocked his way, surrounding him and his vision instantly became dark.
Gu Wei can prevent the poisonous insects from getting close to him, but he cannot kill them all with his sword!
There are at least tens of millions!
The high priest had a cold look in his eyes and his fingers were flying, as if he was looking at corpses struggling in vain.
below.
After burning a large number of Gu worms to death, Xie Ling finally had the energy to lift the man's body, "Where is the mother Gu?"
The man coughed heavily. "It's in the priest's flute. I saw him take it out."
Xie Ling raised her head, glanced at Gu Wei, who was surrounded by poisonous insects and could not even see his figure, and shouted, "The mother poisonous insect is in the priest's jade flute."
The priest looked disdainful and condescending, as if to say, so what even if you know it's on me?
After Xie Ling finished speaking, dense swarms of poisonous insects came up again. She did not dare to be careless and raised her musket to shoot again.
Seeing the powerful force of the musket, a subtle sense of uneasiness finally emerged in the priest's eyes.
Before he could come to his senses, the next moment.
A cold black shadow suddenly broke through the dense poisonous insects, but in the blink of an eye, a bright sword light flashed, and the man was in front of him, with the long sword approaching his throat.
The priest narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed his index finger on the jade flute. The bronze statue next to him suddenly moved and swung its big palm towards Gu Wei.
If an ordinary person saw such a scene, he would probably be scared to death.
Gu Wei curled his lips and sneered disdainfully.
He leaped up like a crane and landed directly on the top of the statue.
"I am the ancestor of mechanical array magic."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Wei's sword directly pierced into the top of the statue's head. In an instant, the bronze statue stopped moving, and its big palm stopped straight in mid-air.
A trace of uneasiness appeared on the priest's face. He didn't know which mechanism he pressed, and the platform he was on was falling rapidly.
Gu Wei narrowed his eyes, aimed his sword at the priest's hand, and threw it out with force.
The sword light was irresistible and attacked with tremendous force!
The priest was unable to dodge and his right hand was broken. The jade flute in his hand also fell to the ground and blood spilt out.
The intense pain made his eyes go dark. By the time he reacted and wanted to grab the jade flute with his left hand, Gu Wei had already flown down with murderous intent.
The priest gritted his teeth unwillingly and dodged into darkness.
As the priest's figure disappeared, the platform where he had just stood was seamlessly integrated with the bronze ground.
Without the urging of the flute, all the poisonous insects retreated like a tide.
The jade flute and the priest's right hand were left on the ground.
Xie Ling picked up the jade flute, broke it open with a dagger, and found a dark red insect between the membranes. It had three pairs of pitch-black eyes on its back and countless claws kicking around in the air, which was very disgusting.
Xie Ling narrowed her eyes, pierced straight through with the dagger, and then swept it with her musket, and the thing turned into ashes.
Jiang Yunzi's eyes were anxious, "Let's go quickly, there are too many traps in this place!"
Gu Wei’s eyes were deep.
"This formation and mechanism are exactly the same as those of Tingxue Tower. I can guarantee that nothing will happen to me, but I can't protect so many people. Let's go now."
After saying this, Gu Wei bent down and helped the man on the ground up.
This person was also innocent and told them the location of the mother Gu.
Gu Wei couldn't bring himself to kill him for the time being, so he thought about taking him out first.
Xie Ling gave Gu Wei a look and said, "I'll be the last one to leave. You guys go first."
Gu Wei knew that Xie Ling was going to use modern weapons and nodded slightly.
After the three people walked into the passage, Xie Ling sprinkled oil on the ground and took out three electronic time bombs and set them up.
The moment everyone walked out of the palace, Xie Ling pressed the bomb remote control.
After a deafening roar, flames shot up into the sky, and the huge impact force tore the palace into pieces.
That night, all the people were awakened, thinking that the gods had sent disaster to the world.
The few of them did not dare to delay and quickly came to the Canglan River and boarded a merchant ship that was about to leave.
After coming to the cabin to rest, Jiang Yunzi's anxious heart finally relaxed.
"How do you think that person found you?"
Gu Wei shook his head.
During the battle just now, he discovered that the priest's martial arts skills were mediocre and not as good as his at all.
He pondered and said, "His martial arts skills are average. He probably discovered us because of his natural sharpness and strength. He wanted to take advantage of us and lure us into the Gu worm cave to strangle us."
Xie Ling pushed the unconscious man and asked, "What about this person?"
Jiang Yunzi sighed, "In order to gain the trust of the Gu Sect, I helped to find this person.
I feel a little guilty towards him, since he is not destined to die, I will not kill him…"
Before he could finish his words, the man slowly opened his eyes.
This is the face of a young boy, with loose black hair and handsome features.
He knelt on the ground, enduring the severe pain, his face as pale as paper.
