Chapter 1070 Black-Robed Gu Xiu: You dare to draw your sword against me?
When Gu Xiu opened his eyes again, he saw that the Xuanwu body had returned to calm. After glancing at him, it stepped into the house and sat down cross-legged again.
The men who attempted to assassinate Gu Xiu have all been killed.
No one will survive!
There were still some remnants of souls and fragments left at the scene. This should have been the best nourishment for "Gu Xiu". He could not fully utilize his Devouring Source Immortal Technique, but absorbing remnants of souls was still no problem. However, he could not muster any interest in these nourishments at all.
He practically fled from that sealed realm.
He was in a very sorry state.
Moreover, although his mind had returned to normal.
but……
"you are not me."
Are you really sure that what you see as your so-called 'true self' is real?
"A glance that lasts a lifetime" doesn't mean it's some other time or space.
Why did you come here again?
"..."
Gu Xiu's words continued to echo in his mind.
He could have easily given affirmative answers to these questions before. He had seen his true self and awakened. A single glance could last a thousand years, and that was real, only in a different time and space. He had come here to save himself from going astray in this time and space.
But don't know why.
When Gu Xiu himself stared at him and questioned him like that, he felt a fear so great that he couldn't face it. The answers that came to mind were impossible for him to say.
Deep within one's own heart.
It seems they are afraid of some truth!
"He tried to shake my heart, to make me doubt my 'true self,' and thus create a weakness in order to suppress me!"
"Yes, that's right, it must be like this!"
“He is me. Although I have never seen my true self, he is definitely me. His greatest skill is psychological warfare. I cannot let him distract me or create an opening. He is currently imprisoned and is barely surviving thanks to his Clear Sword Heart, but he is no match for me. I can suppress him completely!”
"He should be the one in a hurry. I shouldn't be. I should have my own ideas and absolutely not let him interfere or lead me by the nose!"
After a while.
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, gritted his teeth and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.
He is Gu Xiu!
The "one glance, ten thousand years" that Gu Xiu saw was something he had personally experienced. The Gu Xiu he was facing at this moment was just the version of himself that Gu Xiu had seen in that "one glance, ten thousand years." They were originally one. He had only come here to prevent this foolish version of himself from going astray and making a fool of himself in the end!
Correct!
That's it! ! !
After repeatedly reminding himself of this, Gu Xiu's expression finally softened completely, followed by a burst of anger.
I actually lost my composure!
As a chess player who has seen his true self, he is destined to be the only one of his kind in the world. Yet, he lost his composure because of a few words from that inner demon. It was utterly shameful.
No.
We have to get our revenge!
Just then, the protective barrier outside the courtyard wall suddenly fluctuated, and several figures rushed over. They were all wearing the sword robes of the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and the leader of the group was a powerful elder.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, are you alright?"
"We noticed unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy around your residence, so we came here to investigate..."
Before they could finish speaking, they saw the several gruesome corpses in Gu Xiu's courtyard, all of whom had been violently beaten. They were all stunned and subconsciously looked at Gu Xiu, who was dressed in a black robe and seemed somewhat unusual, with a sense of shock.
The Tianyuan Sword Sect has brought quite a few experts to this sword-offering ceremony, but there are definitely not many who have reached the Refinement Void Realm. At least, they recognized the few who were now dead.
They were all at the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement stage!
This power would be dangerous even for a half-step Supreme, let alone a Supreme, yet Gu Xiu seemed completely unharmed.
It’s so powerful that it’s terrifying!
The elder from the Tianyuan Sword Sect who was leading the group twitched his eyelids violently, but he reacted quickly and said very sincerely, "I apologize, Fellow Daoist Gu, this was due to our dereliction of duty during the patrol..."
"You still know it was your dereliction of duty?"
what?
These sudden words interrupted the elder, who subconsciously looked up and saw that Gu Xiu in black robes had his face full of dissatisfaction: "What, you think one sentence of dereliction of duty is enough?"
This……
The Sword Sect elder, whose words had been interrupted, paused for a moment, but then lowered his head and said, "It is indeed our Sword Sect's fault for not providing adequate hospitality. We will immediately prepare new accommodations for you, Fellow Daoist Gu, and we will conduct a thorough investigation to give you an explanation."
Unexpectedly, Gu Xiu in black robes frowned: "That's it?"
"what?"
“I came to your Tianyuan Sword Sect to participate in the Sword Offering Ceremony, so I should be protected by you. Do you know that I was just undergoing the crucial tribulation of lighting the lamps, and this whole thing happened? How much of an impact has this had on me? You just apologize and move me to another courtyard and you’re done with it? Are you kidding me?”
The elder was somewhat bewildered by Gu Xiu's words. A strange light shone in his eyes, but he still looked at Gu Xiu with a hint of confusion: "I...I don't know what Fellow Daoist Gu wants?"
But Gu Xiu, dressed in black, spread his hands and said, "Pay up, what else do you want?"
Ah? ? ?
"Magic treasures, magical artifacts, sword techniques, elixirs... I'll accept anything that's valuable."
Wha…what???
"Of course, if you're really too stingy to come up with anything, I can barely accept a few tens of millions of spirit stones as compensation."
Now everyone finally came to their senses, but they found it even more absurd.
no……
Is he asking for compensation?
It's not impossible, because the rule of Tianyuan Sword Sect has always been that during the Sword Offering Ceremony, unless one does something reckless, Tianyuan Sword Sect will guarantee the safety of the participants. Theoretically speaking, in such a case where a guest is almost assassinated in one's own home, one can indeed seek some compensation from Tianyuan Sword Sect.
Can……
Since the start of the Sword Offering Ceremony, no one has actually asked the Tianyuan Sword Sect for any compensation.
Not to mention, it's Gu Xiu who's the one who needs to pay compensation.
Not to mention that elder, even the group of disciples behind him dressed in the robes of the Tianyuan Sword Sect were all stunned.
I've heard about it before.
This Qingxuan Sword Immortal is unconventional, selfless, and a dragon among men. I've never heard of him being such a petty and unforgiving person.
"What, is the Heavenly Abyss Sword Sect so powerful that you can't bear to part with it?" Gu Xiu in black robes seemed very impatient.
"This..." The elder came to his senses, his expression somewhat strange. After hesitating for a moment, he said that this matter needed to be reported to his superiors, and he could not make the decision on his own.
Gu Xiu, dressed in black, sneered: "Since you can't make the decision, then go find Jiang Jiansi, go find Yin Ruozhuo. I don't care who you go to, but this time, you must give me sufficient compensation!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
It's one thing to call Jiang Jiansi by his given name, but to even call the Sword Saint by his given name is another.
Such a thing is unimaginable even within the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
However, before the elder could speak, a disciple of the Sword Sect stood up indignantly: "Gu Xiu, don't be so arrogant! How dare you address the Sword Saint by his name? Do you really think you're someone important? This is the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and we won't tolerate your wild behavior here!"
"That's right, Gu Xiu, don't forget that your title of Sword Immortal was bestowed upon you by our sect master. Do you really think that you can act recklessly just because you've made a name for yourself? If you want to be arrogant in the Tianyuan Sword Sect, you'd better be careful not to lose your life!" Another disciple spoke angrily, and even drew his longsword.
Both men reacted quickly, their faces filled with anger. The elder also narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Gu Xiu.
"Is this considered arrogant?" Gu Xiu chuckled, his gaze fixed on the disciple who had drawn his sword first: "You dare to draw your sword against me?"
"So what if you are? You're just a rogue cultivator. Do you think you can run wild in our Tianyuan Sword Sect? Do you really think you're still the Qingxuan Sword Immortal? To put it bluntly, you're nothing more than a stray dog without a sect!" The disciple showed no weakness, appearing loyal and hot-blooded.
But just as he finished speaking...
Suddenly, a cold light flashed.
"Stop!" came the exclamation of the elder from the side. He rushed forward to stop them, but he was too late.
As he rushed forward, he saw that Gu Xiu in black had already slowly sheathed his sword and said arrogantly, "I dislike it most when others draw their swords at me. If they do, it's the same as leaving my life behind."
As the words fell.
The Sword Sect disciple who had drawn his sword was frozen in place.
next moment.
But then, a line of blood slowly appeared on the disciple's neck, and then, right before everyone's eyes, his head slid off...
