Chapter 458 - 458 Can You Stop Him?
458 Can You Stop Him?
A blurry figure appeared in front of Gu Xi, and without a word, he struck out with his palm. A surge of spiritual power burst out from his palm. The huge impact forced Gu Xi to stop. He was planning to leave and support Little Nine.
“We’ve taken such a big risk to come here, how can we let you leave just like that?”
The man’s figure left the shadows, and the crowd of people from the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was like an empty shell in front of him. Almost instantly, he blocked Gu Xi’s path.
Everyone’s eyes subconsciously turned to look, wanting to see who this person was. However, to everyone’s disappointment, the man was dressed in a gray robe, and even his appearance was tightly covered. They could only see a pair of pitch-black pupils, nothing else.
“You really think you can stop me?” Gu Xi’s voice was extremely cold as he looked at the man who refused to back down.
Now that Little Nine had encountered Zhan Wushuang, even if Little Nine’s strength was comparable to a Great Saint with her divine beast body, Zhan Wushuang was no ordinary Great Saint. Moreover, Gu Xi did not know his true strength. If he could not get there in time, it was inevitable that something would happen.
“Whether I can stop you or not, I won’t you know I try, right?”
The man chuckled, and the spiritual power around him suddenly boiled, ready to attack Gu Xi at any time.
Tang Conglin and Tong Shan’s expressions changed when they saw this. They wanted to stop him immediately, but they were stopped by the Zhan Tang.
“Pavilion Master Tang, Pavilion Master Tong, this is Gu Lan’s personal grudge. It’s not very appropriate for your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to interfere at this time, right?”
Zhan Tang smiled, and a heavy pressure gushed out of his body.
“Zhan Tang, I’ve tolerated you time and time again for the sake of the Zhan Clan. Don’t push your luck! Don’t forget where we are!”
Tang Conglin gritted his teeth as he spoke. His expression was filled with anger.
He did not want to go all out with the Zhan Clan over this matter, but that did not mean that the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion did not have the ability to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Zhan Clan!
Moreover, even if this was Gu Xi’s personal grudge, everyone was currently in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. Furthermore, Gu Xi was a disciple of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. If he, as the Pavilion Master, remained indifferent at this time, it would only make people feel bitterly disappointed!
“Pavilion Master Tang, Pavilion Master Tong, as Zhan Tang has said, this matter is my personal grudge. Naturally, there is no need for the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to help me. You two Pavilion Masters only need to prepare for the upcoming competition. I will handle this matter properly.”
Just as the atmosphere on Tang Conglin’s side was getting more and more anxious, Gu Xi’s voice was heard from afar.
Tang Conglin and Tong Shan looked at each other in tacit understanding. They could see the hesitation in each other’s eyes.
From the two’s point of view, if they were to go along with Gu Xi’s plan, then Gu Xi will likely struggle. Now that Zhan Clan and the mysterious man were working together, they will not be easy to deal with.
However, if they were to insist on protecting Gu Xi at this time, then the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion would also become enemies with the Zhan Clan and the power behind the mysterious man because of this matter…
Tang Conglin, who had always been decisive, could not help but be caught in a dilemma.
“Handle it properly… Hehe… I’d like to see how you’re going to handle this.”
The mysterious man smiled disdainfully, obviously not believing that Gu Xi had the ability to do so.
“Let’s talk about it if you can catch up to me.”
At this moment, Gu Xi’s voice was heard again.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge spiritual array formed under his feet and covered every corner of the entire courtyard with lightning speed.
In the next moment, a heavy pressure as heavy as a mountain poured down from above. However, under Gu Xi’s exquisite control, the weight only fell on the mysterious man and the people from Zhan Clan.
In the blink of an eye, the Mountain-back Array had already revealed its extraordinary power!
The sudden pressure caught the mysterious man and the Zhan Clan off guard. The disciples of the Zhan Clan could not bear the pressure and were forced to kneel or even lie on the ground. Compared to the sorry state of these disciples, the elder, Zhan Tang, was slightly better off. However, his face had also turned pale for a moment. On the other hand, the three of them were staggering. Fortunately, they were able to circulate their spiritual energy in time to resist the pressure. This was why they were not as pathetic as the disciples of the Zhan Clan.
At the same time, Gu Xi also took advantage of this distraction. He tapped his toes, and his figure turned into a stream of light and swept away.
He understood that no matter if it was Zhan Tang or the three mysterious people, these people were not easy to deal with. Just the Mountain-back Array would not be able to hold them back for long. As long as he could leave this place in this short moment, that would be enough.
Just as Gu Xi had guessed, the moment he left, a strong spiritual power fluctuation burst out from the mysterious man’s body. The thick and cold spiritual power wreaked havoc on the spiritual array under his feet. In just a few breaths, a shocking crack appeared on the surface of the Mountain-back Array.
Crack-
Clear cracking sounds rang out one after another, and the Mountain-back Array soon collapsed completely.
“Do you really think you can escape with this?”
The man smirked as he looked in the direction that Gu Xi had left. The three of them were about to chase after him when he suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and looked at Tang Conglin and Tong Shan, who were not far away.
He smiled and turned his eyes to Zhan Tang. “Of course, I won’t let this brat escape today, but I’ll have to trouble Elder Zhan Tang for this matter.”
Zhan Tang was slightly surprised, but he quickly understood what the man meant. He quickly chuckled and nodded, “You can go ahead and chase after him.”
Seeing that Zhan Tang agreed without hesitation, the mysterious man nodded in satisfaction. Then, the three of them rose into the air and chased after Gu Xi.
“The origins of these three people are unknown and they’re very strong. We can’t let them chase after Gu Lan. Otherwise, Gu Lan’s fate will definitely be one of death.”
When he saw this, Tong Shan frowned and immediately led his men to follow.
Right at this moment, Zhan Tang led the rest of the Zhan Clan and surrounded them with smiles on their faces. They blocked the path of Tong Shan and his party.
“Pavilion Master Tong, where are you going? I’ve come all the way here, you can’t just leave all of us here, can you?”
Zhan Tang said with a smile. Although he did not make it clear, anyone could see that his purpose was to stop Tong Shan and the other two from helping Gu Xi.
