Already life and death are uncertain, Guo Tong has become the last straw, four great masters have almost lost half, but Guo Yao still hasn't made a move, what is he doing?

  A crack appeared on the ground, as if someone was about to emerge from it. Just then, a bloody fist struck the ground, and a long laugh sounded: "I've known all along that you were approaching me from underground. You underestimate the spiritual awareness of a cultivator."

  "Is that so? First get past me." The black-clothed woman, like a ghostly apparition, caught the blood-red fist that was thrust towards the ground with one punch and lightly shouted: "Still not making a move?"

  Kwok Yat burst out from the ground and struck a palm at Xue Yi's back, laughing: "What's the hurry? I was just thinking about which method to use to kill him most cost-effectively."

  "This palm of yours can only tickle me." Xueyi smiled and said.

  "Really?" Guo Yi's Yin-Yang ancient well and Taiji immortal seal rotated simultaneously, a whirlpool that swallowed the heavens and earth transferred to his palm, Guo Yi sighed: "This is not wasting the victory fruit."

  "It's come to this, and yet my cultivation is actually regressing." Blood One was terrified.

  The yin-yang ancient well frantically absorbed the spiritual energy, but in just a few breaths, Blood One fell from the peak of his power and became an ordinary person. The wounds on his body that were pierced by the Tian Sword suddenly gushed out with a fountain of fresh blood, and he collapsed to the ground, his corpse cold as ice.

  The woman in black opened her small mouth and looked at Guo Yao in shock: "What kind of kung fu are you actually practicing? The Nine Changes of the Mysterious Fire Technique should not be this terrifying!"

  Guo Yue smiled slyly: "I knew it, you took the Red Fire Chapter of the Nine Transformations Mystic Flame Technique from me that day, little girl, hand it over!"

  Guo Yi absorbed the blood to cultivate his entire body, although most of it was absorbed by the Lingcao in the Yin-Yang ancient well, but the remaining part still made his strength tripled, surpassing the black-clothed woman and becoming the first on the "Martial Arts Ranking".

  "I don't want your stuff." The black-clad woman turned and ran, her movements still incredibly fast, but Guo Yao was even faster, suddenly appearing in front of her and laughing: "What's the point of taking it from you, anyway?"

  "Those two things are of no great use to you either, what do you want to take them for?" The black-clothed woman's eyes flashed with a hint of tears, one hand clutching the hem of her garment tightly, saying: "Just leave them here with me, you may not see me again for a long time."

  "What do you mean by this?" Guo Yixin's heart skipped a beat:

  The woman in black didn't say a word, summoned nine ghosts, transformed into white bones flying cars, and then disappeared on the horizon.

  Kwok Yat's speed was indeed faster than the black-clad woman, but it couldn't surpass the combined speed of the nine white bone flying cars.

  Guo Yi stared blankly at the sky, pondering why she had said such a thing. Gu Shen Tong patted his shoulder and chuckled: "She's thinking of someone, probably this time when she leaves, she won't be coming back."

  "How did you find out?" asked Guo Yiqi.

  Half-dead and crawling back, he said: "Anyone can see that it's a person, but Gu Shen Tong can be spared."

  "What does this have to do with him?"

  "His big bed can be saved for now, haha."

  "It seems blood didn't kill you after all, looks like it's left for me." Guo Yi punched ** flying again.

  "Kuai God's Avenue: 'There is still one day left until the end of the war between Lisi and Wu. You don't plan to go find her, but if you do, she might not leave.'"

  "Hmph! Whether she leaves or stays, it's none of my business." Guo Yi took off the Blood One Soul Ring and rushed out of the city, chasing in the direction where the White Bone Ghost Car had disappeared.

  "When she left, it was indeed none of my business, but my heart followed her, and that's when things got serious." Guo Yi felt a sense of no heartbeat for the first time.

  On this day, Guo Yi chased the direction of the White Bone Ghost Car to the end of the small world, and then ran through every corner like a madman until the ninth day when the Void Gate opened again.

  Kuo Yushou stood at the entrance of the Void Tunnel, like a statue, watching one by one the geniuses of the "Martial Rankings" enter the void gate, feeling even more desolate in his heart.

  "Where did she go?"

  Until nightfall, the black-clothed woman did not appear. Guo Yi finally forgot about the boundless wilderness of the Ice and Fire Small World and stepped into the Void Passage. At this time, the Void Gate also closed with a bang.

  Yan Honglei's voice sounded in Guo Yao's ear: "She cultivates the Ghost Path, can change into countless forms, and has already left through another Void Gate."

  Guo Yiwu heard this and hastily chased after her, but was stopped by Yan Honglei who said: "She gave me Xiaoxiao's soul ring and asked me to tell you that she has taken a path of no return, one that can only be walked forward, not backward. She hopes you can walk your own path, perhaps the two paths will intersect again someday."

  "Do you know where she went?" Guo Yi asked.

  "I... I could have said I didn't know." Yan Hong's smile faded, and she continued: "I can only roughly guess where she was going?"

  "Where?"

  "In the Ghost Path, there are only two places one can go. One is the lair of the dead spirits, 'White Bone Mountain', and the other is the den of ten thousand ghosts, 'Ghost Valley'. Yan Honglei continued: "These two places are among the seven great evil lands in the world. White Bone Mountain is located at the westernmost part of South Ridge, while Ghost Valley is on the other side of the ancient mysterious realm's vast world, in the center of North Ming Nine Seas, separated from Holy Martial Mountain by hundreds of billions of miles."

  "Thank you." Guo Yi thanked and said, "What I said before about taking it a step further was just a joke, don't take it to heart, Yan Shixiong. However, you still have to call me Shixiong."

  Yan Hong's face turned solemn, and she sighed: "These two places are where all the demons in the world gather. If you go there, you will surely die nine times out of ten. I don't know if I'm harming or helping you."

  "Even if it's a demon cave, I'll still go and take a chance." Guo Ye's eyes were firm and unwavering. Suddenly, he burst out laughing: "Little sister, don't worry about me, call me 'brother' and listen, hey, don't leave!"

  "Bored." Yan Hong's tears quickly flew towards the other end of the empty corridor.

  The war of Sheng Wu lasted for nine days and finally came to an end, but less than one-tenth of the people returned from the Ice and Fire Small World. The remaining ones were all proud sons of heaven, many of whom were poached by various Xianmen schools waiting in Shengwu City, of course, the top ten soul score will naturally become new members of Wu Alliance.

  Shengwu Mountain, at the top of "Zhengwu Peak", the central one of the five main peaks, colorful clouds and mist surround a red palace sitting on the summit. The palace has cliffs on three sides, with only the north gate being connected to the palace entrance by a stone staircase of ten thousand steps.

  In the palace, ten geniuses of "Wu Bang" stood in a row, with Guo Yi standing in the center, followed by **and Gǔ Shéntōng, Yan Honglei, and six other unfamiliar young men.

  At the top of Zhengwu Hall, five white-robed old men floated in mid-air, each with hair as white as snow and faces as youthful as children, resembling five old immortals. These five old men were the masters of the Five Great Peaks of Shengwu Mountain, second only to the mysterious Alliance Master of Wuma.

  The master of Zheng Wu Peak stood in the center, with a wave of his sleeve, ten white tokens fell into the hands of the ten people. On each of the white tokens was written a single, upright character for "Wu".

  He said: "The martial alliance token in your hands is a symbol of your identity. Every martial alliance disciple has such a token. In the future, when you go out and meet other martial alliance disciples, the token will have some response. If you encounter any difficulties, you can seek help from fellow disciples."

  Ming Wu Feng's Peak Master said: "Now you can go to the Spiritual Pavilion of Shaowu Peak to choose a spiritual technique, or go to the Thousand Treasures Cave of Dawu Peak to choose a spiritual instrument. After choosing a suitable spiritual technique and instrument, go to Mingwu Peak to open your own cave mansion and cultivate with peace of mind. If you encounter difficulties, you can ask the seniors in Mingwu Peak, they were all like you, geniuses of an era."

  "Disciple has a request, hoping that Master Wufeng will agree." Guo Yi took a step forward and knelt down halfway.

  "Speak." The five Peak Masters said in unison.

  "Disciple wants to go down the mountain for a year to complete three worldly matters, and then return to the mountain to focus on cultivation after a year."

  "Escaping into the Immortal Sect, cutting off worldly affairs. I don't know if these three worldly matters need the Martial Alliance to step in and help you resolve them?" The peak master, named Wu Feng, explained: "Since you are already a person of my Martial Alliance, your matter is naturally also a matter of the Martial Alliance."

  Wu Meng is the top power in the ancient Xuan domain, although there are not many people, but each one is a top master who can laugh at his peers. Especially the five peak masters are absolutely the top figures in the ancient Xuan domain. Some old ancestors of the cultivation sects must show respect when they see them. It can be said that once you join Wu Meng, you have a strong backing behind you.

  Guo Ye shook his head and said: "Since it's a worldly matter, I'll naturally solve it myself. If even this needs the help of the Martial Alliance, then I'm not qualified to enter the Martial Alliance."

  Shaowu Peak's peak master nodded in satisfaction, saying: "Then you can go to the Ling jue Pavilion and Qianbao Cave to select the Ling jue and Ling qi before descending the mountain."

  "Thanks to the five Peak Masters for their completion." Guo Yi thought to himself, these five old men didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to. By the way, where's that old beggar? He wouldn't have been intimidated by my first place on the "Martial Arts Ranking", would he? Why do I have a strange feeling that this old guy is even more unfathomable than these five Peak Masters?

  After leaving Zheng Wudian, several other "Wu Bang" geniuses bid farewell to Guo Yi, either heading to the Lingqu Pavilion on Shaowu Peak or the Qianbao Cave on Dawu Peak.

  Yan Hong's tears were about to fall as she was leaving, wanting to say something but ultimately not speaking out loud. She boarded her lotus-leaf flying boat and flew towards Shao Wu Peak. With the Wu Alliance token, the no-fly grand array of Mount Saint Martial did not apply to Wu Alliance disciples, allowing them to pilot their flying boats through the five great peaks.

  "With the Burial of Heaven's Spirit and the Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Fire, I already have enough. The Spirit Incantation is no longer needed by me. With the Burial of Heaven Sword, attacking spirit artifacts are also not needed, but instead, flying spirit artifacts are one short, I wonder if there are any flying treasures in the Cave of a Thousand Treasures?"

  The princess had a nine-dragon flying boat, the swallow had a lotus-leaf flying boat, the ghost princess had a white-bone flying carriage, and there were dragon carriages to replace walking. The valley spirit had a white jade crystal carriage. It seemed that everyone he knew had a means of transportation, but he had always relied on his two legs. In short, the traffic was inconvenient.

  "What is Guo Shao thinking about?" **He walked out from behind Guo Yao, and since their battle together in the Ice and Fire Little World, he had been extremely impressed by Guo Yao's mysterious methods.**

  "Everyone has left, why are you still here?"

  "Is it that only you are allowed to have worldly affairs and I am not? I also want to go down the mountain for a year to complete my own worldly matters."

  "After entering the door of cultivation, it will be a long and arduous path of cultivation. This road will be fraught with countless difficulties, and one misstep could lead to downfall. I don't want to leave any regrets for others."

  "This is also a man with a story!" Guo Yi sighed quietly.

  "Then where are you going now?"

  "I have already cultivated the Nine Dragon Spirit Technique, now I will naturally go to the Thousand Treasure Cave to search for an excellent spiritual instrument. Such opportunities are rare, it is said that the Thousand Treasure Cave of the Martial Alliance is one of the largest gathering places of spiritual treasures in the ancient mysterious realm, perhaps I can even find a heavy treasure that surpasses spiritual instruments."

  Guo Yi said with a smile, "From your tone, it sounds like you want to take away the entire Qianbao Cave. Fortunately, the master of Wudang only allows us to bring one thing each, otherwise Wu Meng would suffer a great loss."

  "Let's go, we'll see the treasures of Qianbao Cave soon. Don't say I didn't warn you, by then even you might have thoughts of betraying us."

  Guo Yan rode on a giant dragon and flew towards Mount Dafeng together.
