Chapter Seventy-six: Liu Qi Xue

  On the fourth day, early in the morning, the sun had just risen, and a faint golden light was sprinkled on the mountains in front, shining brightly, breathing in sync with the sunrise, Xiao Gu felt an unprecedented tranquility!

  A ray of light flashed, and in the distant sky, a divine rainbow broke through the air and landed on the rocky cliff. It was an old man with white hair and beard, who glanced down at the ground below with a faint gaze, nodded slightly, and then sat cross-legged on the mountain cliff, lost in thought.

  The first day of the trial starts at 9:00 am, and if you don't arrive by 9:00 am on the second day, it's considered a failure!

  The sun rose high in the sky, and time seemed to have arrived!

  The white-haired old man who had been closing his eyes suddenly opened them, and a terrifying aura swept across the foot of the mountain, causing the buzzing discussions to come to an abrupt halt!

  What a powerful cultivation, Xiao Gu was secretly shocked. This seemingly gentle and calm old man is probably a true strongman. It seems that this Shen Zong is indeed not famous in vain. Xiao Gu sighed secretly.

  "The rules are simple, cross the mountain range, those who do not arrive before 9 o'clock tomorrow will be considered failed, regardless of life or death. The trial begins now," the old man spoke, his voice seemed to carry a strange magical power that could easily enter everyone's ears without any omission.

  What a strong control power, Xiao Gu sighed again. It's not hard to send the sound into everyone's ears, but this sound size and intensity are all the same, it's not ordinary difficulty anymore.

  With a loud shout, the surging crowd began to surge towards the depths of the mountain range.

  Xiao Gu didn't move, and there were also some other people who didn't move either.

  Xiao Gu looked around and found that there were only about a hundred people who hadn't moved, and all of them, without exception, had cultivation above the third level of Nirvana. Xiao Gu even saw a strong man at the sixth level of Nirvana among them!

  Xiao Gu thought for a moment and decided to hide his actual cultivation level.

  Nefan's seven-layered peak, this kind of cultivation is really too eye-catching, Xiao Gu didn't want to attract too much attention.

  For Xiao Gu, Nefarian's fifth-level cultivation is the most suitable, neither too strong nor too weak, convenient for Xiao Gu to hide.

  Xiao Gu began to move, with his cultivation controlled at the fifth stage of Nei Fan!

  Although there are little guys around, Xiao Gu can find flying beasts to fly over directly, but this would be a bit too showy, so Xiao Gu doesn't plan on doing that.

  In the mountain range where the fierce beasts roamed, Xiao Gu walked exceptionally easily, and could even be said to be leisurely.

  No ferocious beast dared to approach, all thanks to the little guy's efforts. Even the ancient beasts left behind on the desolate island were subdued by the little guy, let alone these ordinary ferocious beasts.

  However, trouble suddenly came when I was halfway there.

  "Hand over everything on you, kid! Otherwise, I'll make sure you don't leave with a single limb intact!"

  Looking at the four or five robbers blocking his way, Xiao Gu sighed, being a cultivator is indeed not easy, fighting against heaven and fighting against humans, one careless move and it's death.

  As for this kind of thing where people take advantage of the trial to rob others, Xiao Gu believed that the people in the Temple must be very clear about it, but this was probably also an implicit rule in the trial, survival of the fittest, and no one would interfere with such things.

  "Let's go, next time rob someone who is a good target," Xiao Gu smiled slightly and didn't make a move.

  "Kid, are you crazy? We have five people and you're alone. What's with the pretentious act? Hand it over quickly, or we'll take matters into our own hands," the leader sneered, initially startled but then bursting out laughing.

  "Hahaha, idiot, looking for death..." A group of people burst out laughing.

  Splendid!

  With a crisp sound, Xiao Gu snapped the neck of the person in front of him.

  The laughter stopped abruptly, the original sheep suddenly turned into a ferocious tiger, and Niefan San Chong's boss was pinched to death. This sudden change made them unable to turn around instantly.

  "Let's go," Xiao Gu waved his hand, facing these people, he didn't even have the desire to take action.

  The remaining four people, with three of them quickly disappearing from Xiao Gu's line of sight in a rolling and crawling manner. What a joke, Nai Fan's fourth stage was not even worth mentioning, they would run as far as they could.

  However, Xiao Gu soon discovered that the last person had not left and was staring at him with piercing eyes.

  "Why don't you leave," Xiao Gu said with a hint of surprise.

  The last person lowered his head, saying nothing, and didn't leave either.

  Xiao Guo curled up her lips and didn't bother to care about him, taking the little guy to a distant place.

  However, turning back, I found that the last person was also following behind me.

  "What's your name, and why are you following me?" Xiao Gu gained interest. Logically speaking, if the robbery didn't succeed and instead got their leader killed, a normal person's reaction should be to run as far as they could. But this guy in front of him, what did he mean by following himself? Was he trying to take revenge?

  Looking at the guy in front of him with only two layers of cultivation, Xiao Gu immediately gave up on this idea.

  "Liu Qi," the man said with his head still lowered, and if Xiao Gu's ears were not so sharp, he probably wouldn't have even heard his mosquito-like voice.

  "Alright, Liu Qi, why are you following me?" Xiao Gu said helplessly.

  "I want to follow you," Liu Qi said pitifully, raising her head and staring at Xiao Gu with a pair of big, pitiful eyes that wouldn't let go.

  "No, you're a woman!" Xiao Gu suddenly exclaimed in surprise after taking a closer look at Liu Qi in front of him.

  "Ah, you, how did you find out? I thought I had covered it up well," Liu Qi appeared somewhat tense after being exposed by Xiao Gu.

  I don't understand what you mean by @￥E%%3……

  You dare to say you're good at hiding it? Xiao Gu was speechless.

  She casually smeared some mud on her face, then deliberately changed into men's clothes, only to find that they were obviously too big for her. Her slender figure, long hair, and most importantly, the absence of an Adam's apple - all these made for a poor disguise. What was Xiao Gu doing now?

  I really don't know if those four guys from before were idiots or not, with such an obvious woman by their side, they actually didn't notice, Xiao Gu couldn't help but scold them in his heart.

  Forget it, no matter if you're a man or a woman, just don't follow me, Xiao Gu shook his head.

  However, Liu Qi caught up again after just a dozen or so steps.

  Xiao Gu didn't want to get entangled with him, and in a flash of movement, he transformed into a streak of light that quickly disappeared into the distance.

  This time, it should be impossible to catch up, Xiao Gu secretly let out a sigh of relief.

  "Hey, young man, don't be too proud of yourself, turn around and take a look," Old Wang suddenly said with a sly smile.

  What? Xiao Gu turned his head and almost fainted. A sword shadow carrying Liu Qi was actually closely following behind him.

  "I say, miss, what exactly do you want to do?" Xiao Gu said weakly.

  "I just want to follow you, I think you're a good person," said the little girl with an innocent face.

  I'm going, what's going on here? Xiao Gu felt a bit inexplicable, had his own character become so good to this extent?

  "Alright, alright, little girl. Actually, I'll tell you a secret: I'm a bad guy, a big bad egg, and what's more, I'm a man-eating monster," Xiao Gu said with a sweaty forehead, trying to scare the little girl, but he was clearly not good at this kind of high-difficulty task, so he looked quite pathetic.

  "Really? That's great! Oniisan, can you take me with you?" The girl exclaimed.

  Xiao Gu was instantly disheveled and was truly defeated!

  "Alright, little girl, if you want to follow me, you'd better tell me your real name and clean yourself up. A young lady like you shouldn't be as dirty as a beggar," said Xiao Gu weakly with a wave of his hand.

  "Alright, my name is Liu Qixue. And by the way, you're the one who's always begging for food, aren't you?" The girl's sudden change left Xiao Gu stunned.

  "Women, they're just so changeable," sighed Xiao Gu.

  "Women are really unpredictable," old Wang muttered to himself with a chuckle.

  "Old Wang Ba, you should be called Mother Turtle, you're really good at changing," Xiao Gu teased.

  "Get out, you little brat, you're asking for trouble...!"

  "Huh? This turtle can actually talk, it's so cute!" At this time, the little girl came back and interrupted the old turtle's chatter.

  Bright eyes and white teeth, long hair draped over her shoulders, a perfectly fitting purple long dress, set off the girl in front of her to perfection.

  Delicate facial features, a slender waist that can be grasped in one hand, and those towering jade peaks, with a slightly playful expression, it can be said that the girl in front of her is a rare beauty, although not as beautiful as Xue Wu, however, equally moving!

  "It's not obvious, but the little girl is quite pretty," Xiao Gu smiled slightly, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes as he looked at the greatly changed young girl.

  "Alright, perverted uncle, you promised to take me with you, no backing out," the girl said, bouncing over and speaking coquettishly to Xiao Gu.

  "Listen up, my surname is Xiao, and my name is Xiao Gu... uh, Xiao Guyuan. You can call me Big Brother Xiao from now on, or just call me by my name," said Xiao Gu with a sigh.

  "Oh, okay," the girl looked at Xiao Gu with a suspicious gaze.

  It was close, almost exposed, in a moment of carelessness, Xiao Gu almost said his own name, fortunately, he came to his senses in an instant and changed his words, barely passing the test.
