Chapter 425 - Xie Long’s Guesses

“You… are definitely not disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.” Xie Long struggled to stand up, his gaze as sharp as an eagle’s.

“How do you know?” Gu Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint killing intent flashing through his eyes.

Currently, the demonic race from the outer realm had secretly infiltrated the Eastern Continent. Although the situation on the continent seemed calm on the surface, this storm was bound to rise sooner or later. If his identity was exposed at this time, the sects and factions that had a grudge with him would definitely not let him off. However, he would definitely not surrender. When that time came, the situation would be chaotic, he would naturally give the demonic clan from the outer realm a chance to take advantage of him.

Considering the severity of the conflict between the human race and the demonic race from the outer realm, the grudge between him and those first-rate factions was not worth mentioning.

Gu Xi still had a balance between the two matters.

Therefore, the true identity that was hidden at the moment must not be exposed unless it was absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Our Ancient Sect has been meticulously preparing for this competition for many years. From the first-rate forces to the third-rate forces, even those small sects and sects that are not of the same level, we have investigated all the people who might become a stumbling block for us. Of course, we have also investigated the people that they might send to participate in the competition…”

Xie Long took a few deep breaths, and his originally pale face was now faintly flushed red. “Under our investigation, the disciples sent out by the sects that might be our opponents are almost the same as what we expected, but only the ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion… The disciples sent out are very different from what we expected!”

“Gu Lan, Qing Zhu, right?”

Xie Long’s gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. “Both of you are very powerful. I believe that you are definitely not nameless people in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. However, why have we never heard of these two names among the younger generation of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion?”

As his voice fell, the arena fell into silence.

Gu Xi’s mind was filled with turbulent thoughts. However, he was not thinking about how to deal with Xie Long’s question. Instead, he was thinking about how to kill him here.

Since this guy was suspicious, if he was released safely today, then this guy would definitely send someone to investigate his identity. And under the full investigation of a first-rate force, it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed.

Only a dead person would not do such an unsettling thing!

While he was thinking, the spiritual power in Gu Xi’s body had already begun to circulate. Not only that, a thought was transmitted into Little Nine’s mind. Little Nine silently narrowed her eyes, it was as if she was ready to make a move at any time.

As long as Xie Long was killed here, as long as it was done cleanly, only God would know about this matter. As for the matter of identity, it would naturally sink like a stone into the ocean.

“Looks like you guys don’t really want me to leave today.” Xie Long’s eyes moved, and he keenly sensed the changes in Gu Xi and Little Nine.

At the same time, his entire body tensed up, and torrential spiritual power quickly circulated in the meridians in his body. As long as Gu Xi and Little Nine made any strange movements, he would use all his means to leave this place.

In the short exchange with Little Nine earlier, he had completely given up on the idea of confronting Gu Xi and the other two head-on. That would only make him sink into the abyss of suffering.

“No matter how you analyze it, it’s the truth that we are the disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.”

Gu Xi placed his hands behind his back. During the time he was speaking, streams of spiritual energy that were difficult to detect gushed out from his hands and immediately disappeared into heaven and earth without any movement, “But your questioning words make me very unhappy!”

“Unhappy? It looks like I guessed correctly, right?”

Xie Long grinned. He had already made up his mind.

If it was said that he had half-believed his guess before, now he was very sure that his guess had become the truth.

Gu Xi and the other two were definitely not disciples of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion!

Not only that, in the thousands of sects in the Eastern Continent, no young man had such strength!

“You talk too much.” Gu Xi shook his head, and at the same time, he clenched his large hand behind him.

A mysterious fluctuation suddenly spread out, and the spiritual energy in the world began to boil. One after another, lines formed by spiritual energy emerged from the void, and the complicated lines formed a huge spiritual array, Xie Long happened to be at the center of this spiritual array.

“Activate.” Gu Xi said one word calmly.

In the next moment, the huge spiritual array started to operate rapidly. This was the earth-grade spiritual array that he had used to deal with Qi Feng earlier.

This array could gather a large amount of spiritual power in the surrounding area and turn it into gravity. It was a natural nemesis against opponents who had an advantage in speed.

As Qi Feng’s master, Xie Long also had an absolute advantage in speed. The only difference was that Xie Long’s speed was one or two levels higher than Qi Feng’s, and they were not on the same level at all.

In other words, if Gu Xi was slightly careless, Xie Long would escape without a trace. This was also the reason why Gu Xi chose to use this array.

In terms of limiting speed, this Mountain-back Array, was much stronger than some heaven-grade spirit array formations.

Once the Mountain-back Array was activated to its fullest, it was formidable. The complicated spirit array was spinning rapidly, looking like a huge plate. Under its high-speed rotation, a strong suction force spread out from the formation. It pulled all the heaven and earth spirit energy within a radius of tens of miles over.

A large amount of spiritual energy gathered here, turning into a mountain-like weight that slanted downwards. Their target was only one, and that was Xie Long, who was at the center of the formation.

From the moment the formation was revealed until the mountain-like weight fell, all of this happened in a split second, so fast that no one had the time to react.

Xie Long staggered. His clothes had already stuck tightly to his body. At this moment, his expression was a little unsightly. His entire body had already sunk an inch into the ground.

At the same time, Little Nine was not idle either. The moment Gu Xi used the formation to pin Xie Long down, her figure appeared in front of Xie Long.

Without any extra movements, Little Nine raised her hand and threw a palm toward Xie Long’s face. Moreover, it was an unreserved palm strike.

Although she had never cultivated her physical body, as a divine beast, her physical body was naturally extremely powerful. Even though she was in her human form now, this did not prevent her physical body from being as indestructible as steel.

If this palm landed solidly, it would be enough to kill Xie Long in an instant!
