Just now, Ling Xiao had been seriously injured by the old woman's palm strike, and many of his muscles had been seriously damaged. If it weren't for the protection of the Blue Demon Flame, which gave the old woman some consideration, he would have been a corpse by now.
Seeing the old woman's world of darkness once again push forward, Ling Xiao felt powerless.
He tried his best to recover his body, but he still didn't have enough energy, and he couldn't condense his spiritual force to attack.
"It's over, these resentful spirits are too terrifying. No wonder no one has been able to walk out of here alive in the past ten thousand years. I'm afraid that only an Emperor-level super expert can leave here unscathed." Ling Xiao's back was already drenched, and he knew that he no longer had any cards up his sleeve to reverse the situation.
The Blue Flood Dragon was his biggest reliance, but even it had been seriously injured, and the difference in strength was too great.
Just as Ling Xiao was in despair, Xuan Yao's voice rang out, "Flickering Light Sweeping Shadow Formation, activate!"
Suddenly, rows of pure and flawless light curtains descended from the sky, and the surroundings instantly became pure white. The white light rumbled like lightning.
The sound of this white light was very loud, especially like spring thunder. However, this white light didn't feel the slightest pain when it hit someone's body. Instead, it gave them an indescribable feeling of comfort.
The surrounding resentful spirits and the old woman in the center of the white light let out the most mournful screams.
Woo woo!
The old woman was submerged by the white light, and before she was submerged, the black curtain she had evolved had already disappeared, leaving only a panicked expression on her face.
It was unknown how long the white light had been bombarding her, but finally, it slowly faded and returned to normal.
There was no damage to the ground, and the few people who had survived were also not injured in the slightest. However, the surrounding resentful spirits had already disappeared, and the old woman seemed to have disappeared with the white light.
As the white light disappeared, Cai Xiayue instantly arrived at Ling Xiao's side, supporting him, and asked with a heartache, "Husband, how are you?"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she only felt that the injuries on Ling Xiao's body were on her body, making her very worried.
Ling Xiao grinned. "Don't … Don't touch me … I'll be fine soon!"
Regardless of whether Ling Xiao was sitting or lying down, he could still circulate the profound technique in his body. In addition, he had consumed a high level healing pellet before healing his injuries, so it only took a bit of time for his body to recover again. This was also the miraculous part of the Ancient Emperor Divine Arts.
Now, only Ling Xiao, Cai Xiayue, Xuan Yao, Poison Scorpion, Demon Emperor, and Nangong Lie were left alive.
Nangong Lie arrived in front of Ling Xiao, cupped his hands and said, "Master Ling, please rest here first, I will look around."
Nangong Lie thought about the mission from fifteen years ago. He had to find the Heaven Gu Divine Art, and although he also wanted the Heaven Gu Divine Cauldron in front of him, he did not want to snatch it away. After all, the person who killed the old woman was not him, but the other young man beside Ling Xiao.
He admired Ling Xiao's abilities and was also grateful to Ling Xiao for giving him the Hallucination Breaking Potion, which allowed him to survive in the Gu City until now. He was not the kind of person who would forget kindness and forsake righteousness at the sight of profit.
Just as Nangong Lie was about to rush towards the ruins of the building, soul energy actually condensed in the world again.
"Be careful, she hasn't completely disappeared!" Xuan Yao shouted at Nangong Lie.
This time, everyone panicked, and Nangong Lie retreated once again.
In front of the ruins, the old woman's appearance once again appeared.
However, her current situation was no longer as solid as before. She only appeared to be in the state of a phantom. It seemed that the Floating Light Sweeping Shadow Formation had already consumed a large amount of her soul power.
Just as everyone was about to attack the old woman again, the small cauldron floated in midair.
Suddenly, the small cauldron released thousands of rays of golden light, and a small Gu worm jumped out of it.
The eyes of the Gu worm flickered, and its body actually swelled up in an instant.
One meter, two meters, three meters …
In just a moment, it actually turned into a large worm that was more than ten meters tall. Its golden body was abnormally noble, like the emperor of the insects, shocking the few people in front of it.
The Gold Gu worm protected the old woman in front of it, staring at the few people, as if it would immediately swallow them into its stomach and become its food if anything abnormal happened.
Nangong Lie and Ling Xiao looked at the Gold Gu worm and felt their scalps go numb. Just now in the world of darkness, they had seen with their own eyes that the Gold Gu worm had swallowed a large number of poisonous creatures one by one.
Now that it had revealed its true body, the powerful pressure made them unable to move.
This pressure was actually not weaker than the blue flood dragon, and it seemed to be even more terrifying.
Apart from Ling Xiao, the others looked at the Gold Gu worm and let out a horrifying cry, "It's … it's the Gold Silkworm Gu!"
The Gold Silkworm Gu was the most powerful and primitive of all the Gu worms, and it was the emperor of all the Gu worms.
Legend has it that in ancient times, when humans were first born, the beasts dominated the continent, and the divine beasts were the supreme rulers. All the divine beasts ruled over a region, and then a rare mutated beast appeared, wanting to compete with the divine beasts and divide the land to be the emperor.
At that time, all kinds of powerful mutated beasts displayed their terrifying Tenbin, challenging the dignity of the divine beasts.
Among them, there was a powerful mutated beast called the Gold Silkworm Gu, which displayed supreme power and battle power, and fought evenly with the divine beasts. Finally, it obtained a remote area as a place for its Gu worm to live.
According to legend, the Gold Silkworm Gu was a mutation of the bloodline of the Sky Silkworm King and the Gu Worm King. It had the magical power of the two kinds of spiritual beasts at the same time, and it was a rare ancient mutated beast.
With the passing of time, the bloodline of this ancient mutated beast became thinner and thinner. Until the ancient times, the Gold Silkworm Gu had already become a legend, and it had never appeared again.
Of course, they had never seen this kind of ancient mutated beast before, but they had a slight understanding of it from some ancient books. After all, Cai Xia Yue, Poison Scorpion and Nangong Lie were all people who grew up in the Southern Wasteland, and the Demon Emperor and Xuan Yao had special identities, so it was not surprising that they could recognize this Gold Silkworm Gu.
The Gold Silkworm Gu was different from other spiritual beasts. Normally, spiritual beasts would be able to speak human language when they reached the seventh rank, and its aura was obviously at the seventh rank, but it could not swallow human language.
Therefore, it could be confirmed that the Gold Silkworm Gu in front of them was still in its growth stage, and it could not be considered a mature Gold Silkworm Gu. A mature Gold Silkworm Gu would have silkworm wings on its back, be able to speak human language, and take human form.
The lifespan of the Gold Silkworm Gu was very long. Each stage of growth required five thousand years of evolution, which was five thousand years of infancy, five thousand years of maturity, and ten thousand years of maturity before becoming a mature Gold Silkworm Gu Emperor.
However, no matter what stage it was, the Gold Silkworm Gu had the power to command the heavenly silkworms and Gu worms in the world. It was the supreme emperor of these two spiritual beasts.
"Who … Who are you?" An incomparably weak voice sounded from the side of the Gold Silkworm Gu.
Everyone was stunned, and their pupils constricted.
This was clearly the voice of the old woman.
They were all stunned. When had they heard that a resentful spirit could also make a sound?
The Demon Emperor faintly said, "Your soul is still here?"
The Demon Emperor was also a remnant soul that had been reborn. He might have already guessed that this old woman should be different from the resentful spirit from before, and should be in a similar state as his soul before.
The old woman indifferently said, "I'm long gone. I'm just a wisp of will before I die, and I'll disappear very soon. Which one of you can tell me how the descendants of my Gu Race are doing now?
Have they been exterminated by those beasts? "
The old woman's voice was still filled with a strong sense of hatred.
Nangong Lie came back to his senses and replied, "Replying to old senior, the Gu Race was exterminated ten thousand years ago."
"God damn it, the children of my Gu Race actually … actually …" The old woman lamented.
Xuan Yao spoke up from the side, "Old senior, there's no need to be sad. Your clansmen haven't been completely exterminated, and there are still quite a number of them living in this world. It's just that they can only live in a remote corner and don't dare to come out rashly for fear of causing a disaster."
"Really?" The old woman exclaimed.
"Absolutely," Xuan Yao replied, then pointed at Ling Xiao and asked, "Have you seen him?"
The old woman was puzzled and asked, "What about him?"
"He's your clan's priest, Grandpa Fu Ma. He's specially ordered by the High Priest to find the Gu Race's two sacred treasures," Xuan Yao said solemnly.
The old woman's gaze landed on Ling Xiao's upper body, and her expression was filled with doubt.
"Senior, if you don't believe me, you can search this junior's memories. He is indeed your clan's current Grandpa Fu Ma," Xuan Yao continued.
"Alright, I'll see if he's my clan's Grandpa Fu Ma," the old woman replied, then turned into a black mist and entered Xuan Yao's consciousness.
"Be careful, don't let her take over your body!" the Demon Emperor couldn't help but cry out.
However, Xuan Yao didn't move and allowed the black mist to enter his consciousness.
Xuan Yao was like an old monk in meditation, while the others were all secretly guessing and all revealed vigilant expressions.
After a while, the black mist flew out again and formed into the old woman's appearance. She laughed loudly, "Good, good, my clan's child is still alive … He's still alive, the heavens are truly blessing my clan."
Xuan Yao sat on the ground as if he had been freed from the void, and asked with difficulty, "Senior, do you believe me now?"
"Yes, I believe you," the old woman replied, and her image became much fainter. She then turned to Ling Xiao and said, "Child, can you still get up?
I have something to say to you. "
Ling Xiao heard the old woman's call and knew that the old woman in front of him was no longer a terrifying resentful spirit, so he struggled to get up. His face was extremely pale as he said, "Se … Senior … please speak!"
The old woman's image was already becoming fainter and fainter, and she vaguely glanced at the people beside her.
The few of them tactfully retreated.
The old woman floated in front of Ling Xiao and closed her eyes slightly. After a while, she opened her eyes, and an incomparably powerful pressure sent Ling Xiao flying. She then said sternly, "You … How dare you lie to me! If you were a vassal of my Gu Clan, how could you not have my clan's sacred object? I'll devour you!"
The old woman had just entered Xuan Yao's memory and knew that the female priest in Gu Zhai City had been summoned as a vassal. She also knew from Xuan Yao's image that Ling Xiao had been summoned as a vassal.
However, when she approached Ling Xiao, she did not sense the aura of her Gu Clan in Ling Xiao's body. In other words, there was no Love Gu in Ling Xiao's body, so she definitely did not successfully become a vassal to Ling Xiao.
At this moment, she was furious and wanted to devour Ling Xiao's soul.
Ling Xiao was in danger!
