Inside the sect at this moment.

Elder Zhong Yi had just hung up the jade slip and turned around to find that several elders and peak masters nearby had come up to him at some point, huddled together and eavesdropping with their ears pricked up.

After being discovered by him, she quickly shrank back, then sat upright and pretended nothing had happened.

"..."

Does he look like some kind of fool?

It was a peak master who broke the silence first. He coughed a little unnaturally, "What's wrong? Did something happen outside?"

Everyone tacitly ignored their sneaky eavesdropping behavior and looked at Elder Zhong Yi when they heard the words.

He put his face back, but didn't hide it from them, and explained, "There was a little accident."

"Xiao Xia is back and is now outside the formation. She is accompanied by a group of monks who were taken hostage by the demons."

Elder Zhong Yi briefly recounted to them Gu Xia's words.

For some reason, he always felt that the bastard might not have told the whole truth.

Don’t ask, the answer is that Gu Xia has too many criminal records.

The Second Elder immediately acted like a dying man sitting up in shock, "What?!"

"Where did this brave warrior come from that dares to team up with her?"

Don't die?

You have to know that the disciples of the five sects usually avoid teaming up with Gu Xia on a mission.

Unless they really can't figure it out, they prefer to go their separate ways.

And Gu Xia, by his own efforts, was successfully listed as the number one dangerous element by all his relatives.

I can only say that this is also a kind of skill.

That's why the Second Elder reacted so strongly. Based on his understanding of Gu Xia, he reasonably suspected that the little bastard was out to fool people again.

The others were focusing elsewhere and were talking at once.

"Why did she suddenly come back at this time?"

"What about the others? Didn't anyone stop her?"

Elder Zhong Yi: "..."

How does he know?

He had just learned the news and was also confused.

Who would have thought that this bastard Gu Xia has now learned to act first and report later.

If this is the case, she might have already thought about coming back when we contacted each other last time.

Elder Zhong Yi lit a cigarette with a sad heart.

What else can I do?

You can't just beat your unlucky child to death, right?

He waved his hand, interrupting the others, "The situation is unclear right now. Although we don't know why the demons allowed the family behind those monks to come here, it's always right for us to be cautious."

"Oh, right." Elder Zhong Yi was talking and then remembered something, "During this period of time, pay more attention to the formation and prohibit anyone from approaching at will."

"Whether it's a disciple or an elder."

Not all elders and peak masters were in the hall at the moment. Having lived for so many years, they were not fools. When they heard this, they immediately had some guesses in their minds.

"what do you mean……"

Elder Zhong Yi raised his hand to interrupt the other party, "It's just to be prepared."

He did not mention Gu Xia's previous advice. After all, if such remarks were to be spread at this time, the disciples within the sect would probably become even more uneasy.

No matter what other people think in their hearts, just don't say it openly.

But in general it is still necessary to be vigilant.

Compared to this, what worries him more now is that troublesome little bastard Gu Xia.

You have to know that there are cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage among those cultivators out there, and they are not like the devil cultivators, their cultivation has been improved through real efforts.

Just in terms of age, he could be her great-grandfather, so he naturally has rich combat experience.

Now he just sincerely hoped that Gu Xia would just stay put and not waste time.

*

On the other side, Gu Xia Ke could not hear Elder Zhong Yi's inner prayers. She had a concealment talisman on her body and began to look for targets eagerly.

At this moment, Jin Cancan and others who were hiding far away in the corner were devastated.

Because Gu Xia felt that if they all followed her, the target would be too big and their identities would be easily exposed, so now they could only watch her lock on the target and then fall behind the target like a ghost.

The Nascent Soul cultivator didn't even make a sound in response, he just fell down after a simple encounter.

The location Gu Xia chose was relatively secret, so it did not attract the attention of other cultivators around. She quickly changed into the other person's clothes, then raised her head and looked around, and picked a suitable team and blended in.

It didn't arouse any suspicion at all.

And watching her knock someone out and then turn around and attack the monks behind her with sword raised: "..."

Ah this.

Sure enough, the way of thinking taught by the master is still too against the will of heaven.

Is this something a normal person can do?!

After all, they are narrow-minded.

Gu Xia didn't have time to care about those people's complicated thoughts. She certainly couldn't really touch the formation not far away. She just mixed in with it and observed the situation of these cultivators.

Various sword lights and magic weapons continuously smashed towards the formation outside Taiyi Sect, apparently trying to smash a gap. These Jindan Yuanying cultivators were not to be feared, but the auras of those leading in the front were still quite strong.

Gu Xia never underestimates his enemies. When the other party's eyes sweep over him, he lowers his head slightly and puts on a very proactive look.

Wait until the other person turns his head again and immediately switch to paddling mode in one second.

The main point is "being able to bend and stretch".

It has to be said that the method of infiltrating the enemy was indeed effective. She soon discovered that there was something wrong with these monks who seemed to be fighting hard against Taiyi Sect.

It’s not that something is wrong. Judging from the fluctuations of their spiritual energy, they are indeed righteous cultivators, and Gu Xia also has a vague impression of the clothes they wear. But other than that, the expressions of these people are completely abnormal.

It seemed that everyone had only one goal in mind, which was to break through the formation in front of them. Even when their magic weapons were broken and their swords were snapped, they still did not stop. There was no expression on their faces, just like... puppets.

After Gu Xia figured this out, he felt a little enlightened.

No wonder she always felt out of place after she mixed in.

There was no communication, no ripples, as if they were machines being given instructions by someone.

As calm as a pool of stagnant water.

A guess vaguely emerged in Gu Xia's heart. The reason why these cultivators attacked Taiyi Sect and took such a move that puzzled the entire cultivation world was because of this.

There is a high probability... that it is controlled by someone with ulterior motives.

hiss.

If this is true, then as long as the culprit is found, the current stalemate outside Taiyi Sect can be easily resolved.

Then the question comes-

He was able to control so many monks at once, and no one noticed anything strange.

Who is he? !
