Chapter 1185 The One Who Offers Offerings, the Ancient Divine Path
This person looked elegant and noble, and there seemed to be nothing special about his previous conflict with Shen Yanshu. I didn't expect him to be so observant.
and……
People from outside?
He could tell that I was a member of Haoyu just by looking at me?
Faced with Fang Suming's question, Gu Xiu was even more careful this time, not showing any other expression, but he had already clearly observed the positions of everyone present with the corner of his eye, thinking in his heart whether he could take action next and kill them all here.
Haoyu's identity is his biggest secret at the moment.
Although he doesn't know much information right now, and Gu Xiu doesn't want to make a move in public unless absolutely necessary, nothing else is as important as Hao Yu's secret being exposed.
"Looks like I guessed right." Fang Suming, unaware of Gu Xiu's thoughts, looked at him with disdain.
"The people of Taiwei Yuan are the most shrewd and adept at attaching themselves to the strong. Judging from your inability to even speak properly, you seem more like a country bumpkin from Tian Shi Yuan."
"Moreover, you just came out of the gray fog, so you didn't actually enter the gray fog to search for the Occurrence Fruit. You were just offered up and are a country bumpkin who doesn't even know what's going on!"
Fang Suming's bright eyes were full of wisdom, giving off an expression that said, "I've already seen through everything about you," which made Gu Xiu blink.
You guessed right...
Great!
He thought the other party had discovered that he was a member of Haoyu, but he came to this conclusion instead?
and.
Gu Xiu astutely grasped the key point. Since he had guessed the Taiwei Enclosure and the Tianshi Enclosure, it meant that the place he was currently in belonged to the Ziwei Enclosure.
Furthermore, his statement about offering people up implies that the Three Enclosures and the Sea of Evil are not entirely independent, but rather that there is a way to send people up.
"The person who made the offering?"
The scarred soldier who had previously resolved the dispute asked Gu Xiu with some surprise, "The other day, our Wuwei City summoned offerings from the lower realms, but we didn't summon a single person. We thought something had happened to Tian Shi Yuan. Could it be that your group was summoned into the gray fog?"
Faced with persistent questioning this time, Gu Xiu could no longer remain silent.
But he simply nodded in agreement.
He still didn't speak rashly, because he didn't know much about either the Ziwei Enclosure or the Tianshi Enclosure, and he wasn't even sure if there were any special rules or different languages among the three enclosures, so speaking rashly might cause an accident.
The scarred soldier frowned: "Judging from your appearance, you seem a bit confused about the situation. Could it be that you were forcibly summoned and don't know the details?"
Forced summons?
Gu Xiu was surprised.
The scarred soldier waved his hand and said, "Since you were summoned by my Mighty City, then you are one of my people. Follow me, and I'll take you into the city. Gentlemen, why don't we go back together?"
The last two sentences were spoken by Fang Suming and Shen Yanshu. The two did not refuse, but after glancing at Gu Xiu, they turned and left.
Since things had come to this point, how could Gu Xiu not follow along?
For the rest of the journey, Gu Xiu finally had time to observe his surroundings. It was a vast forest, with wild grasses he couldn't name growing rampantly along the road. The trees were also extremely strange, all blackish-gray in color.
It gives people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.
After walking a little further, you pass through a forest. Ahead lies a path; to the left, it leads straight into the depths of the gray fog, while to the right, you find a city that appears extremely magnificent.
The city walls were very high, higher than any city walls Gu Xiu had ever seen in Haoyu. The stone bricks still showed traces of war, indicating that this place had experienced more than one major battle.
What Gu Xiu found strange was...
This city wall has clearly weathered countless storms and witnessed numerous battles, yet it lacks the fluctuations of the most common restrictive formations in the world. I don't know if it's because these formations aren't there, or if I simply can't detect them.
The city gates were well-defended.
The massive city gate was not fully open; only a side gate was open. Many soldiers armed with standard weapons were stationed there, almost like a sentry every three steps and a scout every five steps. Strangely, apart from these people, no one else entered or left the city.
"Brother, Ziwei Enclosure is completely different from your Tianshi Enclosure, isn't it?" A voice came while Gu Xiu was observing the situation.
Gu Xiu turned his head and saw that the speaker was one of the maids who had been beside Shen Yanshu earlier. At this moment, her peach blossom eyes were particularly charming and captivating.
“Those who have been chosen throughout history have found the situation of the Purple Palace incomprehensible. After all, your holy light can only protect some villages and small cities at most, but our holy light can form large cities and even kingdoms.”
Holy Light?
Gu Xiu's gaze swept over his surroundings.
He had noticed before that the gray fog no longer drifted in, not because the gray fog had suddenly stopped moving, but because of a special force that seemed to have the function of dispelling the gray fog.
So, that's the holy light this person was talking about?
"Since you are from Tian Shi Yuan, what path did you take?" The alluring woman seemed quite interested in Gu Xiu and pressed him for an answer.
"military commander?"
"It doesn't seem like it. Your dodging technique just now was quite good. Could it be that you're using the famous White Horse Path?"
"No, no, there seems to be a special aura about you."
"Ok?"
"It seems a bit like...spiritual energy?"
"So you didn't take the new path, but instead cultivated spiritual energy, is that it?"
Even a fool like Gu Xiu would understand that this woman was definitely there on Shen Yanshu's orders to probe him, constantly trying to extract information from him. However, she obviously didn't know that her actions were also revealing information to Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu's face suddenly turned wary. He didn't answer, but subconsciously took a few steps back, as if his big secret had been exposed.
This reaction made the alluring woman even more energetic:
"It seems I was right. A spiritual energy cultivator. This is a field that few people have set foot in since the last natural disaster. I heard that only a small number of talented people could barely do it. I never thought I would actually run into one."
"I've heard that spiritual energy cultivators can become stronger without following the ancient divine path, and can even walk on air using their own power. Is that true or false?"
"Young man, can you fly right now?"
The woman was extremely alluring, and with that adoring expression, most people would likely be tempted. Gu Xiu seemed no exception; he was momentarily flustered, his face even flushing red, but his back involuntarily straightened a bit, adopting a rather proud posture.
This reaction caused a hint of disdain to flash in the woman's eyes.
He's just a country bumpkin who's never seen the world; he can be easily manipulated.
But little does he know.
Gu Xiu, who looked like a country bumpkin, had already memorized everything she said.
Path? Military strategy? School of Names' White Horse Strategy?
How to become stronger by following the ancient divine path?
Furthermore… spiritual energy is also used in the Three Enclosures of Sinful Sea, but it seems to be no longer mainstream, but rather rare, even legendary. And because their paths differ, these people cannot fly using their own power?
