Chapter 166: Pale with Fright! Don’t Say Anything More
??
Elder White started to say something specious again.
Gu Xi frowned and did not say anything. At this moment, he had many questions in his heart, such as who the master Elder White was talking about was. Could it be the mysterious and powerful man that he had seen earlier?
There was also that pair of eyes that were filled with evil intent. He had a premonition that Elder White might know something about these things.
“I saw some images when I was collecting the fragments.”
Elder White’s interest was immediately piqued. He did not seem surprised, “What did you see?”
“A powerful man and a pair of eyes at the edge of the universe...”
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder White turned pale with fright. He hurriedly interrupted Gu Xi, “Shut up! Don’t say anymore.”
His expression was unprecedentedly serious, as if he knew what Gu Xi was going to ask. “Forget about those scenes. With your current ability and cultivation, knowing too much won’t do you any good.”
Gu Xi did not understand why Elder White had such a big reaction, even as if he was facing a great enemy. However, one thing was certain. He must have known something.
However, Elder White was very secretive about this and was unwilling to reveal any information. He only said that everything was for Gu Xi’s own good.
Gu Xi recalled Long Tian’s warning earlier. He did not like the feeling of being in danger, but not knowing where the danger came from.
Elder White said earnestly, “In short, I won’t harm you. If there’s a chance, you will gradually come into contact with it one day. However, now is not the time yet.”
“Although there’s a difference with Master’s prophecy, it’s still a turning point. Since the Heart of Chaos is in your hands, I hope you can play its role.”
Elder White slowly approached Gu Xi, and his tone seemed to contain some magic. “Don’t resist me.”
After saying that, he pointed at Gu Xi’s glabella, and his whole body actually turned into a light spot and merged into it.
The scene in front of Gu Xi’s eyes slowly became blurry, as if there was a warm current brushing past. His entire body was filled with warmth, causing him to feel drowsy.
Noticing that Elder White did not have any hostility, Little Jin and Little Nine quietly watched everything in front of them from the side.
...
The people in the Secret Realm saw that Gu Xi was enveloped by the light pillar and instantly stopped moving. They felt that this was a great opportunity to strike.
Although it was a little unkind, they could not care less about it at this moment.
“I believe that you guys have seen how strange this kid is. While he doesn’t have the strength to fight back, let’s work together and quickly subdue him. Otherwise, we don’t know what will happen when he wakes up.”
The Zhan Clan’s ancient bronze chariot was activated again, and the lotus flowers in the sky bloomed again. Everyone gathered all their spiritual power and hit the light pillar, causing a cloud of dust to fly up.
However, the light pillar did not move at all.
“How can this be! Our attacks have actually lost their effect!”
Everyone could not believe it and once again gathered all their spiritual power. This time, the light pillar seemed to have become much dimmer, giving them a glimmer of hope.
Unfortunately, after everything had calmed down, the light pillar still stood there.
Everyone’s expressions were somewhat unsightly.
Some people tried to use their Divine Sense to probe the situation inside, but they were still blocked. It was as if there was a powerful spiritual energy blocking everything. The spiritual energy fluctuations from the pillar of light were also extremely powerful.
Everyone could only ask their Xing Hun, “Do you have a way to open this pillar of light, or to probe the situation inside?”
Xing Hun could faintly sense that there was a kind of special energy within the pillar of light. He subconsciously wanted to reject it, but when faced with everyone’s pleading gazes, he was unable to say anything. He could only force himself to say, “Then I’ll give it a try. Don’t have too much hope.”
Xing Hun took out his astrolabe, only to see the needle darting about wildly, as though it had been stimulated by something. Everyone was dumbstruck, not knowing what was going on.
His expression was unsightly as he controlled the astrolabe. Only then did the needle calm down. Xing Hun’s face turned even paler as he chanted, causing the astrolabe to float in mid-air.
A faintly discernible thread stretched out from the astrolabe and connected to the light pillar. It was not obstructed at all.
It must be known that no matter how they used their spirit energy to attack previously, it was useless. Everyone felt that there was hope when they saw this, but they did not notice that the Xing Hun’s face was getting paler and paler.
…
Elder White’s figure appeared once again, but he became much more transparent, as if his vitality had been damaged. In stark contrast, Gu Xi was still in a deep sleep, and his complexion was extremely rosy.
Looking at Little Jin and Little Nine’s worried gazes, he said, “Don’t worry, this kid is very healthy. I don’t know what kind of luck he has...”
Elder White muttered to himself as he discovered the transparent thread in the air. He casually grabbed it and revealed a disdainful smile.
“Petty tricks.”
The thread actually broke with a ‘twang’ sound.
Outside, Xing Hun suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood as an expression of extreme fear appeared on his face.
“What’s wrong with you? Did you sense it?”
Faced with everyone’s questions, Xing Hun shook his head violently. However, he did not say anything. His gaze was fixated on the astrolabe, only to see that there were actually several cracks on it.
One had to know that his astrolabe was made of extremely rare and precious materials. It could even be used as a defensive magic tool to block the attacks of Saints. However, it was now damaged.
“Could it be that he knows something and isn’t telling us?” someone could not help but ask.
However, the entire Star Viewing Pavilion glared at him. “Look at my Eldest Senior Brother. Does he look like he is someone who lies?!”
Xing Hun’s face was as white as a sheet of paper. No one knew what he had experienced. He seemed to have lost his soul. Even when faced with the concerned questions of the people from the Star Viewing Pavilion, he still kept his mouth shut.
The person who had just spoken could not help but lower his head in shame.
