Chapter 395 - Set Off for the Grand Sect Competition!

The next day.

Gu Xi had already recovered from his previous consumption when the sky had just brightened.

“Since the array has already been taken away by me, it’s better to destroy this place.”

He stood up and swept his gaze around the surroundings and beneath his feet. Although the array had already been taken away by him, there were still some traces of the teleportation array’s existence here.

Without any hesitation, he waved his hand and a vast amount of spiritual power surged out from his body, instantly enveloping the entire area.

In the next moment, under the pressure of the excessive spiritual power, the ground began to crack inch by inch into bottomless ravines. For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook. Rocks fell and rolled. It was as if they were experiencing an earthquake.

When everything returned to calm, the scene in front of them was already a mess.

Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction. Then, he did not stay here any longer and turned around to leave.

…

Jingyang City, the inn.

After rushing for a while, Gu Xi quickly returned to the inn.

In the room, Elder Yun, Elder Gu, Qing Zhu, song Qingluan, Little Nine, and Gu Xi were sitting around.

“Where have you been all this time?” Qing Zhu sized up Gu Xi in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Gu Xi shrugged and replied, “I broke through.”

He could not possibly say that he had taken the teleportation array into his pocket, right?

Moreover, breaking through was indeed a fact, so there was no need for him to hide it from Elder Gu and Elder Yun.

As for Gu Xi’s explanation, Qing Zhu pursed her lips. Although she did not quite believe it, she did not continue to ask. Instead, she asked, “What are your plans next? It’s not easy to come to the Eastern Continent. As a local, can’t you take us to experience the local customs here?”

Hearing this, the corners of Gu Xi’s mouth could not help but twitch.

He did not go through so much to come back just to be a tour guide!

However, Gu Xi did not show it in her heart. Instead, he looked around at the people in front of her and said with a serious expression, “Next, I’m preparing to participate in the Grand Sect Competition of the Eastern Continent , representing the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”

After saying this, the expressions of the people were all different.

Little Nine’s expression was indifferent while Song Qingluan was a little curious. Qing Zhu was stunned at first, but soon after, an excited expression appeared on her pretty face. It was as if she was the one who was going to participate in the competition.

Gu Xi did not have much of a reaction, but Yun Zhiyi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Gu Xi with a twinkle in his eyes.

Gu Xi was also keenly aware of this gaze. He smiled and nodded. “The time for the Grand Sect Competition should not be too short. Moreover, the time is approaching. I think we should set off in the next few days. If that’s the case, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you to tour the Eastern Continent properly.”

This last sentence was clearly directed at Qing Zhu who was beside him.

Qing Zhu did not seem to have the intention of Gu Xi’s words. Instead, she smiled a little excitedly and hurriedly opened her mouth to say, “Why don’t I participate in the sect Grand Sect Competition as well?”

Gu Xi was startled. A bitter smile involuntarily surfaced on his face. However, he did not feel extremely surprised in his heart. Instead, he had already expected it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, a knock on the door suddenly sounded. A person wearing the attire of a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion entered the room. He first bowed respectfully to the few of them before looking at Gu Xi. He opened his mouth and said, “Young Master Gu, The Pavilion Master asked me to remind you that the time for the Grand Sect Competition is almost up. Please head to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion as soon as possible and prepare to participate.”

Gu Xi nodded slightly. After which, he looked at Elder Yun and said in a deep voice, “During this period of time, Elder Yun and boss Gu can stay here and continue to recuperate. As for Qing Luan, she can stay here and take care of the two of you.”

After saying this, Gu Xi gave little nine a look. The two of them stood up at the same time and were about to follow the disciple to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to prepare to leave.

Seeing this, Qing Zhu also stood up without hesitation and followed. Elder Gu and Elder Yun looked at each other helplessly and shook their heads helplessly.

Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, top floor.

Under the lead of the disciple, the three of them quickly arrived at this place.

Gu Xi had no way to deal with the fact that Qing Zhu insisted on following them. After all, this woman’s strength was not ordinary and her identity and background were extremely mysterious. He could not use forceful methods to chase her away.

Moreover, if the two of them really fought, it was not certain who was stronger or weaker. In Gu Xi’s opinion, with Qing Zhu’s identity and background, the number of powerful spirit tools and spirit skills in her hands was definitely an extremely terrifying number. This would greatly increase her strength.

Seeing that the three of them had come together, Tong Shan could not help but be stunned. Clearly, it was somewhat unexpected. However, after Qing Zhu had stated her purpose of coming, Tong Shan laughed out loud and welcomed her joining him.

Tong Shan was not stupid. Ever since Qing Zhu was able to take out the Ten Thousand Treasures Golden Token, he knew that this woman’s background was definitely not simple. Although he had never seen Qing Zhu make a move, based on his guess, this woman’s should be extraordinary.

With the addition of such a person, it had increased his confidence in this competition. At one point, he even felt that it was not impossible for him to become the champion.

“Since everyone is here, let’s set off immediately.” Tong Shan nodded to Gu Xi and the other two. Immediately, he brought the three of them to an open space in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. There, they saw a huge flying demon beast waiting for orders.

“I didn’t expect to need a flying demon beast. It seems like the journey this time is very long!”

After sizing up the tame demon beast, Gu Xi could not help but look at Tong Shan with some doubt. “Where is the venue of this competition?”

Tong Shan chuckled and leaped onto the back of the demon beast. His feet seemed to be nailed to the back of the demon beast and did not move at all, “The location of this competition is in Lanjiang City, which is 1,000 miles away from Jingyang city. If this flying demon beast isn’t suitable, I’m afraid we’ll take a long time going there by ourselves.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi nodded. Then, he and Qing Zhu leaped onto the back of the demon beast one after another and stood firmly on it like Tong Shan.

However, when it was Little Nine’s turn, the docile demon beast seemed to have sensed something. His body trembled violently, and a trace of obvious fear appeared in his eyes.

Little Nine’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed through her eyes. The demon beast immediately became docile again, not daring to make the slightest bit of movement.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Tong Shan also seemed to have sensed something, but he was still a little confused. He just assumed that this demon beast was just throwing a small tantrum.
