C3361 The Death of the Bodhi Tree
Looking at the energy barrier in front of him, Gu Xuan was a little surprised.
He had waited for a full minute, but the barrier had yet to be opened.
He had sent a message to Elf Imperial Monarch ahead of time, asking her to open the barrier, but there was no reaction at all.
The Xiao Ou was furious.
"Damn it, Elf Imperial Monarch. First, she urged me to advance by myself, giving Boss a surprise. Now that the matter has been exposed, she doesn't even dare to open the mountain protection formation.
She is clearly avoiding me, afraid that I will go and settle the score with her!"
In Xiao Ou's heart, he used the worst kind of malicious intent to guess Elf Imperial Monarch's actions.
Gu Xuan frowned.
He tried to contact Elf Imperial Monarch through the voice transmission Talisman again, but he could only leave a message. The other party did not activate the voice transmission Talisman at all and had a real-time conversation with him.
This situation was too abnormal.
"Boss, don't wait any longer. Break through the barrier and break in!
This Elf Imperial Monarch was too outrageous. Yunding Mountain is the territory of our Ying Tian Sect. It's already good enough for her to use it, but she still dares to stop you?
She doesn't put Sect Master of Ying Tian Sect in her eyes at all!
This is too much, I really can't stand it anymore!"
The Xiao Ou urged Gu Xuan to use brute force.
A bright light flashed across Gu Xuan's eyes. He stared at the Xiao Ou sharply, making the Xiao Ou feel uneasy and uneasy.
"You seem a little strange today. Could it be that you are hiding something from me?"
Gu Xuan asked even though he knew the answer.
The Xiao Ou's attitude towards Elf Imperial Monarch had completely changed. There was something fishy about it!
An uneasy look flashed across the Xiao Ou's eyes as it firmly denied it.
"Boss, there is absolutely no such thing!
I was purely filled with righteous indignation just now, and I just said a few words of justice!"
Gu Xuan chuckled.
Only a ghost would believe it!
"Since we can't enter, then we can only return.
Let's go, Xiao Ou!"
Gu Xuan stared at the energy barrier for a while and felt a sense of pity. He pulled the Xiao Ou and flew back, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
"It can't be. Boss, are we really going back?"
The Xiao Ou really couldn't figure it out, so he just let it go?
Gu Xuan shook his head, and a serious look flashed across his eyes.
"Of course not."
Swoosh.
The two of them landed in a mountain forest.
Gu Xuan immediately used the Greater Five Elements Escape Technique and entered into stealth mode. He brought the Xiao Ou with him and returned.
However, he did not fly this time.
Instead, he used "Go."
Of course, although he said "walking," every step he took was a thousand feet.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the bottom of Yunding Mountain once again.
"Boss, what's going on? Something happened inside?"
The Xiao Ou was surprised.
Pretending to go back first, and then sneaking back, wasn't it obvious that something had happened inside?
But this was the Yunding Mountain, the territory of the Ying Tian Sect. How could something have happened here, and there was no news of it?
The Xiao Ou couldn't figure it out.
Outside the Yunding Mountain, there were Burrow Rats guarding the area from all directions. This was a very tight intelligence network. If there was even the slightest disturbance, the news would be sent back to the Ying Tian Sect for analysis.
Once they determined that something was wrong here, the army would immediately press the border.
There was no need to talk about the defensive strength of the Yunding Mountain.
There were countless large formations and numerous powerhouses, such as the Dragon Guards of the Dragon Subduing City and the giant dragons that evolved from the Nine-Colored Carp King. All of them were here.
Every tree inside was also a powerful Military Strength.
Of course, the strongest was undoubtedly Elf Imperial Monarch.
The current Elf Imperial Monarch was already a grand completion First Calamity expert. She even showed signs of advancing to the grand completion Second Calamity.
The Xiao Ou clearly remembered that half a month ago, when the two of them last met, Elf Imperial Monarch had just come out of seclusion and her strength had improved greatly.
In the short term, she should not be able to advance any further and should not be in seclusion anymore.
But even so, such an expert was in her own territory. Even an ordinary expert at the Great Circle of Second Calamity might not be a match for her.
Even if she were to encounter someone at the Great Circle of the Third Calamity, she would probably still have the strength to fight.
Even if she was far from being a match for him, she would not die quietly. It was still easy for her to spread the news.
It was precisely because of this that the Xiao Ou determined that Elf Imperial Monarch was unwilling to open the mountain protecting formation, remove the energy barrier, and let him and Boss in.
But now, Boss had actually returned. Other than the possibility of something happening inside, the Xiao Ou could not think of a second possibility.
"Right now, I am not completely sure, but there is an eighty to ninety percent chance that something has happened.
Otherwise, even if Elf Imperial Monarch is in closed door cultivation and I send her a message, she will not have no reaction at all."
With a solemn expression, Gu Xuan took the Xiao Ou, turned left and right, and arrived at the bottom of Yunding Mountain, next to a pool of water that was more than a hundred zhang in size.
The water in the pool flowed down from the Yunding Mountain through the underground river.
The Xiao Ou's eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Then what are we waiting for? You slash open the energy barrier with your sword. Let's charge in and save Elf Imperial Monarch!
Her current situation is probably very dangerous! "
Gu Xuan clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Didn't you urge me to go in and find trouble with her just now?
Why are you worried about her now?"
The Xiao Ou was speechless for a moment. He searched his stomach and finally managed to organize his words. He stammered and explained,
"I... I didn't!
I wasn't worried about her, I was worried... worried about the bodhi tree!
That's right, I'm just worried about the bodhi tree. Think about it, there are so many Bodhi Fruits, how precious are they? Can I not worry? "
Gu Xuan clicked his tongue twice and did not comment. Obviously, he was not deceived by the Xiao Ou, but he did not have the intention to ask further. He only pointed at the pond and smiled mysteriously.
"Don't you feel that this pond in Yunding Mountain is familiar?"
The Xiao Ou stared at the pond for a while and shook its head.
"I don't think so."
As soon as the words left its mouth, the Xiao Ou's expression changed slightly. It realized that something was wrong.
"I've come to Yunding Mountain at least a hundred times.
Although I usually come from high places, there's no reason that I've never seen this pond before.
The last time I came here, I came from the east.
The last time I came, I came from the east. The west...
If I keep going forward, I have at least flown into the Yunding Mountain from this direction seven times.
I am sure that there was no pond here before!
The time the pond appeared shouldn't be more than a year ago!"
The Xiao Ou looked at Gu Xuan in surprise, as if it had realized something.
Hua!
Suddenly, the sound of water could be heard.
A few koi fish jumped out of the water and fell back into the water.
Those koi fish were colorful.
"Nine-Colored Carp King!"
The Xiao Ou recognized the identity of those koi fish.
"This pond is the last time Elf Imperial Monarch and I met. I asked her to leave it for me.
In troubled times, there was no harm in being prepared.
Only she and I know about this place. When outsiders see it, they would not think that it would be a passageway.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if they thought of it.
Because only I can walk through this passageway!"
Gu Xuan chanted the Law of Incantation and took a step forward. He arrived at the center of the pond and sank into the water.
However, there were no ripples on the surface of the water.
The Xiao Ou quickly followed him up to the surface of the water and sank into the water.
However, he had truly sunk into the water, stirring up waves. The so-called "passage" could not even be seen.
"Boss!" The Xiao Ou called out.
"Stop arguing."
Gu Xuan's voice was heard.
A Water Element Power wrapped around the Xiao Ou.
The Xiao Ou felt as if its body had turned into liquid, turning into water.
Soon, the surrounding scene changed.
When he once again stood firmly on the ground, there was already a gentle breeze that gently caressed his face.
"This is... the peak of Yunding Mountain!"
The Xiao Ou looked around.
Rustle.
The sound of the wind rustling the leaves could be heard.
Rustle, rustle.
Leaves fell from the top of Gu Xuan and Xiao Ou's heads.
Gu Xuan stretched out his hand, and a few leaves spun and landed in his hand.
These were the leaves of the bodhi tree.
But there was no sign of life.
Furthermore, it was black!
"The bodhi tree is dead!"
Xiao Ou looked at the bodhi tree in shock, his eyes turning red.
The originally tall and dense bodhi tree that was emitting a mysterious aura had completely turned into a withered black dead tree.
"The situation is even more serious than I imagined.
This is poison! Only Pill Saint's level can control poison!"
Gu Xuan's expression was extremely solemn!
