227: Chapter 225: A mere incarnation dares to challenge?
Mo Jie's gaze was sharp, the faint green light concealing a strange and sinister aura; even though it was only an Incarnation, it still made people shiver from head to toe, as if countless tiny, slimy insects were crawling on them.
Those Qiankun Disciples who rushed over merely met his gaze from afar, and their bodies were instantly frozen, unable to move.
Pei Yuhan, who had arrived on her sword, fell from the sky uncontrollably; coincidentally, her ample, delicate body plummeted, landing precisely in Gu Shengge's direction.
Gu Shengge raised his hand, and faint spatial energy shattered layer by layer, gently lowering Pei Yuhan's body like a leaf in the wind, until she floated into Gu Shengge's arms.
Her slender waist, which could be encircled with one hand, settled steadily into Gu Shengge's arms, and her soft body uncontrollably leaned against him.
Pei Yuhan wanted to steady herself, but at this moment, her body felt as if it had no bones, softly pressing against him, making her both shy and annoyed.
Gu Shengge, however, maintained a normal expression, holding the boneless Pei Yuhan, and looked directly into Mo Jie's eerie green eyes.
Seeing that it had no effect, Mo Jie's gaze shifted, turning crimson, with chaotic and flickering violent auras within.
The Cultivators of the Qiankun Alliance, who had been frozen by him, now met his blood-red eyes, their bodies trembling with terror, their hair standing on end; the scene before them suddenly changed, and they seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood surging towards them, shaking the earth and instantly engulfing them.
Their complexions instantly turned pale, as if all the Qi and blood had been drained from their bodies.
Divine Light flashed in Gu Shengge's eyes, and he waved his sleeve; the ground in front of everyone suddenly exploded, sending them all flying.
All the Cultivators of the Qiankun Alliance were blown away, which also happened to free them from Mo Jie's gaze, allowing them to escape from that terrifying illusion.
"Turn your backs, don't look back, leave immediately!"
Gu Shengge's voice came from behind them, bringing their minds back and prompting them to immediately follow Gu Shengge's instructions, fleeing quickly into the distance, not daring to look back once.
Gu Shengge activated the power of his Double Pupils, which flowed through his arm and into Pei Yuhan's body.
Pei Yuhan only felt a warm current flow into her meridians and Dantian, instantly igniting her Sea of Consciousness, causing her originally solidified and rigid Divine Thought and thoughts to burst open, restoring their vitality.
Her limbs also gradually regained strength, and after gaining a little power, she stood firm.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Gu, for your help; Yuhan is eternally grateful!"
Only then did Gu Shengge withdraw his hand: "No problem. Don't stare into his eyes. You still have the residual pupil power of this Revered Master within you, so you will essentially be unaffected."
In the sky, the source Law Corpse Mo Jie saw the two still exchanging thanks and courtesies, and his face instantly darkened.
"You two, do you know that you are already within this Revered Master's range of suppression, yet you still dare to flirt!"
Mo Jie was furious, black energy constantly fluctuating around him, spreading outwards, and quickly focusing its spearhead on Gu Shengge.
"Die!"
He roared, and endless power surged around him; the black energy completely went berserk, transforming into two black spirit snakes that charged towards Gu Shengge.
Around Gu Shengge, spatial energy exploded, bolstered by the Primordial Spirit of Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space, which was yellow like a sack, red like cinnabar fire, with six legs and four wings, a featureless face, and the Law of Space flowing around it, as if containing myriad stars within its fluctuations.
The black energy streams scattered and collided with the spatial barrier.
On the spatial barrier, light flowed and ripples shimmered, yet it remained impregnable.
"Law Corpse old man, you dare to try and suppress this Daoist with a mere external projection? If you're brave enough, come here yourself and see if this Daoist will crush you into dust!"
The black energy streams were constantly eroded, and the Primordial Spirit of Dijiang, the Ancestral God of Space, vibrated; the surrounding space repeatedly shifted between collapse and recovery, and in a short while, all the incoming streams of light were eroded and cleared.
Gu Shengge also stepped forward at this moment, a vast and heavy spatial pressure descending as if the heavens were collapsing.
The moment this mighty power suppressed, Mo Jie's projected Incarnation trembled violently, and amidst the flowing spatial ripples, the projection twisted and shattered.
"Bang!"
The projection exploded, and the violent power accumulated within it dispersed in all directions, stirring up strong winds, flying sand, and rolling stones.
Pei Yuhan, protected by the Law of Space, was unharmed and very safe.
Gu Shengge directly constructed a spatial corridor amidst the chaotic flying stones and sand, leading Pei Yuhan to walk through it.
Outside the spatial corridor was an endless dust storm like an apocalypse, but inside it was quiet and peaceful; outside the space beneath their feet, a river of stars seemed to flow, with glittering starlight, very dazzling.
Pei Yuhan followed Gu Shengge's steps closely, and suddenly felt as if this world had come alive again.
After her Revered Master and fellow Disciples successively met with misfortune, her despairing heart cracked open, and a plant named hope began to grow again.
Perhaps, just as her Revered Master had instructed at the very beginning, it wouldn't be bad to stay by Gu Shengge's side, no matter in what capacity, to admire his divine demeanor, and to anticipate his ultimate breakthrough.
As she thought this, she inadvertently bumped into Gu Shengge's firm back.
"Daoist, what's wrong?"
She glanced sideways, peering her head out from beside Gu Shengge.
It turned out they had already reached the end of the spatial passage, which was reinforced by the Law of Space; a distance of a thousand li was covered in mere moments.
At the end of the spatial passage were the Cultivators of the Qiankun Alliance whom Gu Shengge had driven away; these fools were currently staring intently at the images projected by the projection crystal, searching for Gu Shengge's figure.
The space beside them transformed into a vortex, and Gu Shengge and Pei Yuhan stepped out from it.
The group was intently searching for Gu Shengge and Pei Yuhan's traces in the projection crystal's image when the appearance of the spatial vortex startled them; only when Gu Shengge and Pei Yuhan emerged from it did their expressions noticeably relax.
"Greetings, Daoist!"
"Greetings, Daoist!"
...The group's faces were filled with gratitude; if Gu Shengge hadn't intervened just now, they would have likely perished there.
Gu Shengge's gaze was slightly cold: "This Revered Master told you that you could stay outside Fuyu State; why did you risk entering?"
At Gu Shengge's questioning, everyone's faces slightly darkened, their hearts filled with extreme unease and terror.
Gu Shengge's gaze swept over them: "Now, hurry up and leave!"
After all, they were people from the Qiankun Alliance, and Gu Shengge didn't want to be overly harsh, but staying in Fuyu State was definitely not an option.
The Law Corpse's chaos had not been completely eliminated, and they would still be at risk of perishing here.
The power of destiny rotated in his eyes, and the threads of everyone's destiny appeared before him; because of too much entanglement with him in the middle, their future was already unclear.
The best way to handle it now was to drive them all away, which could avoid over ninety percent of the risks.
Everyone was awed by the coldness in Gu Shengge's eyes and dared not voice any objections, agreeing repeatedly.
