Chapter 671 You Dare!
After flying for a while, everyone saw a black line appearing on the distant horizon. As they flew closer and closer, the black line turned into the pitch-black mountain range of Tianshi Ridge, running across the distance. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this and hurriedly flew towards the distant Tianshi Ridge. On the way, two more waves of cultivators came to meet up. They were the four-member group. They also met other cultivators along the way and gathered them in groups of three or two together, finally gathering here.

Gu Shiyi secretly counted the number of people and found that of the fifty-five people who came here, excluding the thirteen people from Zhengyuan Sect who were outside, there were only twenty-six people left here. Lin Hen said that he would let Hanba drive the cultivators from other places here one after another. Those who did not come would naturally lose their lives here!

Gu Shiyi sighed inwardly and said to everyone,

"Let's get out of here quickly!"

Everyone nodded and flew back to the entrance of the magic circle of Tianshi Ridge. When they saw the teleportation magic circle, they were also excited and filed in one after another. Gu Shiyi's group of four stayed at the end. Wang Wanli was seriously injured. His abdomen was pierced by the sharp teeth spit out by a meat flower. Fortunately, he had some good elixirs on him. He took one at that time, which saved his dantian. But he had to rest for three to five years after returning!

When Gu Shiyi and the other three finally entered the magic circle, they heard a commotion and someone was shouting,
"Why don't you let me wait and leave?"

"Yes... Why don't you let us leave? What have we done to deserve being stopped here?"

Then I heard a cold voice saying,
"Everyone, if you can explain to me why you all came out safely, but Elder Mao and several of my fellow disciples did not come out, as long as you tell me a reason, I will let you go!"

"What a joke! Elder Mao is a high-level cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. How would we know why he can't get out? Why do you want us to explain it to you?"

"Yes! This formation is dangerous, you are aware of it, and not all of us have come out. Many of our fellows have also died in it. The reason why you, the people of Zhengyuan Sect, can't come out is that you are not skilled enough. What does it have to do with us?"

The weak voice of Wu Xiuren, who was saved by Gu Shiyi, came again.

"Wu Rui, we are brothers from the same clan after all. Many of these fellow Taoists are injured and need to go back to heal. Why do you block the entrance? Can't we leave unless the people from your Zhengyuan Sect come out?"

Wu Rui's voice came coldly,
"Brother Xiu Ren is right. You can't leave unless I send Elder Mao!"

"What a joke! If Elder Mao dies in there, are we just going to wait here for him to be reincarnated?"

Reincarnation?

Gu Shiyi, who knew the inside story, curled his lips.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it even if I reincarnate!"

The Nascent Soul has been eaten by someone, and the soul has been torn apart. What kind of reincarnation is this?

At this time, Wu Rui's voice came again.
"If Elder Mao doesn't come out, then wait a while. Three of my fellow disciples from Zhengyuan Sect have already gone to invite the three elders. As soon as the three elders arrive, they will make the decision!"

Everyone was even more indignant when they heard this.
"Your elders of the Zhengyuan Sect can't control us, why do we want them to make the decision?"

Zhao Dexian, who was standing by, frowned.
"The Zhengyuan Sect has the greatest influence in the alliance, and its actions are becoming more and more overbearing! What do they want to do by stopping us like this?"

Lin Pu sneered,

"They saw that the purpose of this trip was not achieved, and all the people from Zhengyuan Sect were killed in it, so they wanted to interrogate us to see if they can find out anything!"

Wang Wanli snorted,
"Interrogation is probably secondary. We are just worried that the magic weapon has been secretly taken away by us. When the three elders arrive, they will have to interrogate and search us!"

Although these people spoke in low voices, they did not avoid the crowd. Everyone around them had sharp ears and eyes, and they all heard it. They immediately thought of this possibility, and their faces became gloomy.

We have all been in the world of cultivation for a long time and have seen countless cases of the strong bullying the weak. What does the Zhengyuan Sect want to do?

Please bring out three high-level monks to use their power to overwhelm them. What do you want to find out?

All monks naturally have one or two secrets that cannot be known to others, or treasures hidden in the bottom of the box. If they are allowed to use their power to force others to search, wouldn't they be at the mercy of others? When they say that this thing is the magic weapon, with the three elders' pressure, would they dare to say no?

We can’t wait until the high-level monks from Zhengyuan Sect come!
Everyone looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes, so no one knew who shouted first.

"Why should we wait for them to come? Let's go!"

With this feeling, the monks in front moved. It was unknown who was the first to offer a magic weapon, and then someone followed. Amidst the flashes of various colors of light, there was a burst of explosions, screams, and Wu Rui roared angrily.

"You dare... Aren't you afraid of my revenge?"

What is there to be afraid of? Now that we have started, there is no turning back!
All the cultivators attacked together, beat back Wu Rui and the other two disciples of Zhengyuan Sect, and rushed out. Gu Shiyi and Wang Wanli were the last to walk out. After they rushed out, Gu Shiyi saw Wu Rui and the other two disciples of Zhengyuan Sect lying on the ground. All three of them had injuries and were bleeding. Wu Rui even had his crown broken.
"This is... even the Nascent Soul has escaped?"

The four of them looked at each other, and Zhao Dexian's face changed.

"I don't know who did it, but it was so severe. I'm afraid this matter is going to get out of hand!"

If they were more decisive and destroyed both the physical body and the Nascent Soul, it would be fine. But if one of them escapes and goes back to the Zhengyuan Sect to file a complaint, things will be difficult to handle!
Lin Pu snorted, "It doesn't matter. It has nothing to do with us. The four of us were at the end, but no one made a move!"

As they were talking, everyone flew out of Tianshi Ridge and hurriedly bowed to each other. Without even saying a few words, they immediately flew away on their own!
After Gu Shiyi and Wang Wanli flew hundreds of miles away from Tianshi Ridge, Gu Shiyi asked the other two,
"Three Taoist friends, what are your plans from now on?"

Wang Wanli said,

"I'm injured. I'll be in seclusion as soon as I get back. I won't be out for three to five years!"

Lin Pu said coldly,
"I'm going back to the Alliance!"

Zhao Dexian frowned.
"Go back to the Alliance, what about Zhengyuan Sect?"

Lin Pu hummed,

"Zhengyuan Sect is powerful, and I, Lin, am no pushover, so why should I be afraid of him?"

Lin Pu was born into a family of cultivators, and although he had no backing in the alliance, many worldly affairs of the alliance were handled by the Lin family. The Lin family also had complex relationships in the secular world, and many sources of intelligence for the alliance were provided by the Lin family. The Zhengyuan Sect really didn't dare to offend the Lin family easily!

Zhao Dexian smiled bitterly and said,

"Brother Lin is not afraid of them, but I..."

He turned to look at Gu Shiyi and said,
"What is your plan, Brother Gu?"

Gu Shi said,
"I'm going back to the alliance too. Although I don't have anyone to back me up, I'm used to being alone. If the Zhengyuan Sect really doesn't care about their reputation and wants to embarrass me, the worst that can happen is that I'll just leave!"

Zhao Dexian pondered for a moment and said,

"Even if you all go back, I will go back too!"

The sect he came from was not small, but he was not valued by the master in the sect, otherwise he would not have been sent to do this job. Now the job has not been completed, and he has offended the Zhengyuan Sect. After returning, he is afraid that the Zhengyuan Sect will investigate and the master will not protect him. Gu Shiyi comforted him,

"Today's matter has nothing to do with us. Even if you ask, just tell the truth!"

Even if Zhao Dexian is out of favor, he is still a disciple of the sect. If Zhengyuan Sect can really cover up the sky with one hand to the point of arresting people however it wants, then this sect will be doomed!
After the four of them left the sand sea, they used the alliance's teleportation array in a nearby city to return. After returning to the alliance, the four of them agreed to contact each other through the jade pendant if there was anything, and then they dispersed. Gu Shiyi went back to see Elder Lu, who was also surprised to see her return safely.
"You guys are back. Have you got the magic weapon?"

Gu Shiyi shook his head,

"I don't know!"

"Don't know? Why don't you know?"

Elder Lu was shocked again, so Gu Shiyi told him everything from beginning to end, of course, including Cain's secrets. When Elder Lu heard that Elder Mao did not come out of the magic circle, his face changed color.

"Have you ever seen any strange phenomena in that magic circle?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"I hid in the magic circle, running around in various illusions, and dealing with all kinds of monsters hidden in them. I don't know how long it took, but the monsters in the magic circle suddenly hid their bodies and didn't come out anymore. I also found that the magic circle seemed to have been broken, and no more illusions appeared. I tried to fly in one direction, and then I met a lot of fellow Taoists. We gathered together and came out like this..."

He said with a puzzled expression,
"The junior is also confused!"

Here again,

"Only when we were coming out, we were blocked by people from the Zhengyuan Sect. They said that Elder Mao and the people from the Zhengyuan Sect were still trapped inside... Only then did I know that Elder Mao and the others had not come out..."

Gu Shiyi paused and asked cautiously,
"And how are Wu Rui and the others doing now?"

"Oh……"

Elder Lu was a little surprised.
"I haven't heard Zheng Yuanzong mention this matter..."

Eh! Looking at Elder Lu's expression, he seemed to be unaware of the news of Wu Rui's death. Could it be that Zhengyuan Sect concealed the news?
Or did Wu Rui's Nascent Soul encounter a problem along the way and fail to escape back?
Although the Nascent Soul can teleport, it is very fragile. If it is exposed between heaven and earth for a long time without the protection of the physical body, it may be sucked into some extremely negative or positive place, or it may encounter the invisible and all-encompassing gale of heaven and earth, and it will suddenly turn into a ball of blood and disappear completely!
Gu Shiyi secretly guessed in his heart that as long as it didn't concern him, Elder Lu didn't seem to want to ask any more questions. He waved his hand at Gu Shiyi and said,
"That's enough of what we have to say. You've worked hard, so go down and have a rest!"
