Chapter 1480 The Innocent Little White Flower
Chapter 1480 The Innocent Little White Flower
"Fourth Senior Brother, we need to find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Gu Xia clenched her fist lightly and quickly came to a conclusion.
She looked up at Jiang Chaoxu, and the two of them exchanged a glance and instantly reached a consensus.
They were lucky; Gu Xia was able to forcibly stop the attack. But with so many disciples, not everyone could react in time to realize that the person in front of them was not an enemy but a comrade.
Getting a little injured is nothing. After all, we're all out there in the world, so getting hurt is just part of the routine. As long as we're still alive, we'll just crush the pills, turn around, and go back to fighting our opponents to the death.
The worst fear is that if a disciple were to lose control and witness their fellow disciples die at their hands, the damage to their Dao heart and the shattering of their foundation would be the least of their worries.
Moreover, it wasn't just the sword cultivators who were scattered; the other, more vulnerable disciples were in an even more precarious situation.
"Judging from the current situation, the fastest way to get out is to find the core of the illusion."
Jiang Chaoxu tapped his brow with two fingers, a golden light flickering in his eyes.
He was already quite handsome, but at this moment, he was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Junior sister, come with me."
Gu Xia was momentarily dazed, but quickly regained her composure. She lowered her eyes and pulled out the Six Ren dice that were mocking the Annihilation Sword.
"What are you doing?" The spirit was a little confused after being suddenly pulled out. She put her hands on her hips and was furious. "Gu Xia, can't you be a little gentler with me? I'm a spirit, after all."
Don't you know you should show some respect to the spirits?!
Gu Xia shook her clenched fist, and Liu Ren Die immediately fell silent.
"Stop talking nonsense. You can come and see how to get out of this godforsaken place too."
"..." What a bully!
Helpless, with such an unyielding master, the spirit could only hum twice before dutifully surveying its surroundings.
This glance left her completely stunned. "I was only out of the sight for a moment, where have you all been?"
Is this still the world of cultivation? She asked.
Gu Xia remained silent, only saying nothing.
Good question, she'd like to know too.
After making a sarcastic remark about the Six Ren dice, fearing that Gu Xia might get upset and hit him again, he quickly ran to Jiang Chaoxu's side.
"Let's go." The boy smiled and let her lean on his shoulder in a cowardly manner.
With one person and one spirit in charge of finding the core of this illusion ahead of him, Gu Xia picked up his sword, sharpening it, ready to cleave this wretched place in two once he found it.
Guided by her fourth senior brother and the spirit of the artifact, she refrained from using her divine sense to explore in order to avoid interference. The dense forest that had previously appeared intricate and complex gradually became clearer.
As time passed, and whether it was just Gu Xia's imagination or not, she always felt that the surrounding branches and leaves were like ghosts following her everywhere.
It is said that no two leaves in the world are exactly alike.
But no matter how she looked at it, it seemed exactly the same as the place they had just passed through not long ago.
Jiang Chaoxu stopped and asked her casually, "Junior Sister, have you ever heard of a saying?"
"what?"
Jiang Chaoxu winked at her and whispered, "Trying to cover it up only makes it more obvious."
Gu Xia suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
found it.
It seems this is the core of the illusion.
The plants sensed the approaching danger and tried to confuse them with the same imagery.
Illusions might work on other people, but for the two people and one spirit who had come all the way here, it was like kicking a steel plate.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Xia drew his longsword in an instant. In almost a split second, the towering ancient trees that had been completely still around him began to shake violently.
Countless branches and leaves grew wildly, densely surrounding the two senior and junior disciples.
To be precise, their only target was Gu Xia.
"No way, no way, you're getting worked up already?" She couldn't help but click her tongue. "I haven't even done anything yet."
Liu Ren Dice muttered under his breath, "You haven't even done anything yet, and you're already scary enough, okay?"
Others might not know, but Gu Xia certainly does. Doesn't she have any idea what kind of person her ancestors are?
Gu Xia heard her but ignored her. She shielded Jiang Chaoxu behind her and said, "I'll handle these things. Fourth Senior Brother, please be careful."
Jiang Chaoxu, holding the Six Ren dice, took a few steps back and readily handed the stage over to her.
The spirit tilted its head. "Aren't you going up there to prove yourself?"
The young man gave her a shy smile. "I'm a pill cultivator. I've already said that those fighting and killing things aren't really suitable for me."
Liu Ren Die couldn't help but shiver in his arms.
What about the liar?
The way he crushed the jade bottle and sprinkled poison on Gu Xia just now was incredibly swift and decisive.
Why are you pretending to be an innocent, harmless little flower right now?
Neither of you two, brother and sister, is a good person.
Faced with the vines and branches surging wildly from all directions like serpents, Gu Xia's figure appeared exceptionally small. The overwhelming greenery transformed into a giant cage, and the last remaining ray of light above her head was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
The next instant, the branches that were still tightening inward suddenly stopped, and then retreated quickly as if they had sensed something terrifying, but it was too late.
Two sword lights flashed out, and amidst the flying white sword shadows, countless vines and leaves turned into fragments. Gu Xia, holding a spirit sword in each hand, walked out calmly.
Upon sensing the sword energy capable of destroying everything, the ancient trees around them trembled violently, and the falling leaves nearly buried Jiang Chaoxu, who was watching the battle from the side.
However, Gu Xia had no intention of letting it go, and with a press of her sword energy, she found a good position.
If she were to chop it down, that would be terrible!
The plants, which had already developed simple intelligence, were naturally unwilling to give up. Seeing that Gu Xia was not easy to deal with, they instantly rolled up more than a dozen branches and came aggressively towards Jiang Chaoxu.
"Oh?" Jiang Chaoxu raised an eyebrow. "Are you taking me for a fool?"
Putting aside the eager spirit nestled in his arms, he was already on guard and quickly retreated to create distance, not giving the other party a chance to get close. He then unleashed several porcelain bottles that exploded, and the aura they emitted froze the vines that were about to approach him.
At the same time, Gu Xia slashed down with his sword, and a dazzling sword light burst forth in the sky. A chilling aura swept across the area, and the ground shook violently when it landed.
With a clear 'crack', the illusion that had been troubling everyone shattered, and sword energy swept across hundreds of meters in all directions, engulfing everything like a whirlwind.
Those disciples who recognized the familiar sword aura instinctively looked up from all directions.
A burst of white light flashed before everyone's eyes, and when they opened them again, they saw their fellow disciples in a disheveled state.
Did they come out of that awful place?
"hiss--"
After taking in the surroundings, one of the witnesses couldn't help but gasp in shock.
