407: Chapter 405: Cooperation to Hunt Down Daoist Ziyuan

The snow layer was extremely thick. Gu Shengge even broke through the ice layer above and fell downwards, not knowing how deep he went.

Daoist Xuan Ling and Hou Ying landed on the edge of the deep pit. Their Divine Thoughts probed in, but after about a li, they could no longer proceed. They only felt a sharp pain in their heads; their Divine Thoughts were annihilated.

More precisely, it should be that the extreme cold energy invaded, corroded their Divine Thoughts, and annihilated them instantly after freezing.

Both of their eyes showed solemnity. Sensing the continuous invasion of extreme cold Qi around them, they couldn't help but feel the urge to retreat.

The current situation posed too many hidden dangers for them. They weren't entirely disbelieving Gu Shengge's previous defense; Dao Monarch Ziyuan was indeed no longer here.

If he wasn't dead, given that fellow's cunning, if they stayed here for too long, they would likely meet a tragic end.

Daoist Xuan Ling thought about retreating, his narrow, wolf-like eyes slightly narrowed: "Hou Ying, this place is not suitable for prolonged stay. Let's go."

A fierce aura emanated from Hou Ying, and his eyes held a chilling killing intent.

"No, Dao Monarch Ziyuan and we are already sworn enemies. If he rises again and obtains the dao repository, there will be no place for us in the entire world. He must die!"

Daoist Xuan Ling's spine felt cold, and his whole body was icy. They were originally the advantageous party, but now they were in a dilemma.

Dao Monarch Ziyuan's cultivation was completely crippled because he was ambushed by me. If he obtains the dao repository and even rises again, the first person he wants to kill will definitely be me!

He turned around and looked. In the vast snowfield, in the distance, he seemed to see a familiar figure flashing in the blizzard.

In the deep ice pit, Gu Shengge hid inside the taichu dao bell. The surrounding cold Qi continued to erode, and the ice was still congealing.

He heard the conversation outside and shouted: "Seniors, Dao Monarch Ziyuan said that the dao repository is here. His cultivation was originally completely crippled, and he used me to get here, almost freezing me to death. I have no need to lie to you. If you don't go find him now, once he gets the Opportunity, you won't live!"

Daoist Xuan Ling was visibly shaken and said coldly: "Then how can we be sure that what you say is true?"

Gu Shengge rubbed his forehead, quite helpless: "Dao Monarch Ziyuan said that the so-called dao repository hidden here is actually a System of extremely high rank. Obtaining it grants Heaven-Defying abilities, omnipotence, rapid recovery of his crippled cultivation, and even allows him to enter the Realm beyond Mahayana. If he succeeds, you should know what our fate will be."

As the two hesitated, Gu Shengge, holding up the taichu dao bell, shot out of the ice cave and hovered in front of them.

Hou Ying and Daoist Xuan Ling were filled with shock, never expecting this fellow to dare to come out directly.

They released their Divine Thoughts and quickly investigated, indeed sensing no trace of Dao Monarch Ziyuan's aura on Gu Shengge.

"You dare to come out? You really aren't afraid of death!" Daoist Xuan Ling's eyes showed killing intent.

"Of course I'm afraid of death, but if I say I can find Dao Monarch Ziyuan's whereabouts, will you still kill me?"

A glint of light flashed in Hou Ying's fierce eyes: "Really?"

Daoist Xuan Ling gradually reined in his killing intent: "If it's true, what's the harm in letting you live a little longer?"

Gu Shengge ignored his threat. The most urgent task was to find Dao Monarch Ziyuan and kill that fellow!

Of course, it would be best if he could snatch that System.

Before Dao Monarch Ziyuan brought him here, Gu Shengge, just in case, left a Divine Soul mark on him. A delicate compass appeared in his hand, its needle spinning rapidly.

Daoist Xuan Ling and Hou Ying immediately stepped forward. Seeing the wildly spinning needle, their fierce gazes once again fell upon Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge awkwardly scratched his head: "Well, my cultivation is greatly restricted here. I can't control it very well right now. It might be better if you two activate it. Also, I've added a Restriction to this trail-tracking compass. If I die, the trail-tracking compass will self-destruct immediately, so..."

"What a cunning Human Race brat!" Hou Ying snatched the trail-tracking compass. With his cultivation boosting it, the needle on the trail-tracking compass indeed slowed down and gradually stabilized.

Gu Shengge looked at Daoist Xuan Ling on the other side: "Um, Senior, my cultivation can't withstand the severe cold here. If I resist like this for too long, I'm afraid I'll exhaust all my vital essence and die."

Daoist Xuan Ling's face was exceptionally grim. This young man was truly audacious. They were enemies before, and now he was actually asking for his protection.

And what did he mean by constantly gesturing for him to look at the trail-tracking compass? Was he threatening that if he died, the compass would also be destroyed?

Reluctantly, he enveloped Gu Shengge with his Perfection Great Dao Divine Light, helping him resist the extreme cold Qi here.

As Gu Shengge was enveloped by the Divine Light of the Perfection Great Dao, the surrounding cold Qi rapidly receded and disappeared.

Gu Shengge also put away the taichu dao bell and followed beside the two.

Daoist Xuan Ling's gaze was gloomy: "Does Dao Monarch Ziyuan know you're such a two-faced person?"

Gu Shengge rolled his eyes at him: "I was never with him in the first place! The aftermath of your battle affected me, and I was just trying to protect myself. Who knew that old thing would run in there, and he even plotted against me, tricking me into bringing him here and almost freezing me to death. If I don't kill him, can I face myself?"

Daoist Xuan Ling and Hou Ying's doubts largely dissipated. They were genuinely worried that this fellow was colluding with Dao Monarch Ziyuan to set a trap against them.

Thinking about it now, it was indeed so. If Dao Monarch Ziyuan truly had him as a helper, he wouldn't have had his cultivation crippled by them.

Hou Ying looked at the trail-tracking compass in his hand, his eyes slightly dim: "Be careful, that old dog is nearby!"

All around was a howling blizzard, and the extreme cold Qi continued to erode. Gu Shengge could clearly see that even on Hou Ying and Daoist Xuan Ling's Perfection Great Dao Divine Rings, gaps had appeared, where the extreme cold Qi was eroding.

"Rumble rumble rumble..."

A violent tremor suddenly came from underground, like thunder. In the howling wind and snow, two massive dark figures swayed on the ground.

"Hehehe, Hou Ying, Xuan Ling, you two really fell for it, tricked here by little Gu. You will surely die today!"

Hou Ying and Daoist Xuan Ling's killing intent erupted, staring coldly at Gu Shengge.

Gu Shengge's face was somewhat grim: "What are you looking at? Can't you tell that old dog Ziyuan is trying to sow discord? I'm in your hands right now. If I were to deceive you, wouldn't I be seeking death? Have you lived so long only to become senile?"

Hou Ying's gaze was fierce, and he sneered: "I doubt you'd dare. We'll settle accounts with you after we've slain that old dog Ziyuan!"

Daoist Xuan Ling raised his hand, and a palm-sized porcelain bottle appeared, shimmering with Divine Runes of the Great Dao.

"Get inside!"

The Divine Runes of the Great Dao on the porcelain bottle flickered. Gu Shengge only felt himself covered by the energy of the Great Dao of Space, and he was sucked into the porcelain bottle.

"This is the qianyuan jade bottle. It can temporarily shelter you." Daoist Xuan Ling said with a cold smile. (End of this chapter)
