But this really can't be blamed on Gu Xia.

During this period of time, there were constant events of all sizes in the world of cultivation, and her own sect was attacked repeatedly. She was so busy that she had no time to take care of so many things.

What's more, they were able to hold out against the demons for such a long time without their defense line being broken through, and the monks who came to support them one after another had certainly made a lot of efforts.

Gu Xia had no idea which aristocratic families and sects these people came from. She had never seen some of the faces before, so how could she remember them all?

If Shen Weixun was pulled over at this time, he would probably faint in front of her.

In a daze, I only knew that some of them were the biological parents that Jin Cancan's group of children from aristocratic families asked for. After the Demon Lord appeared, those heads of the sects and families who were unable to defeat him turned around and asked their own ancestors to come over.

After that, some powerful people realized that the situation was not good and took action.

There were also a very small number of independent cultivators among them.

After thinking about it this way, Gu Xia couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

Ok.

From this point of view, the situation on the battlefield today is quite complicated.

Just pick someone out and he will either be the leader or an elder.

After all, they are all serious monks, and they come here under the banner of helping. At a critical moment, who has the time to check one by one to see if there is anything wrong with the people who come?

Gu Xia couldn't stop them in advance and check their ancestors thoroughly like they did with their household registration, right?

Let’s not talk about whether she can do it or not. Even if she is really bold enough to do so, those powerful people all have weird tempers, and it is still unclear whether they will pay attention to her.

If she doesn't, she might meet someone with a bad temper who would want to beat her up and teach her a lesson.

Gu Xia had long seen through the temperaments of these seniors.

They are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. They have cold tempers and indifferent personalities. They are decisive in doing things, and they are not as good-tempered as the elders of their sect.

The elders didn't beat them because they were all their own disciples. But to those powerful people, no matter how talented they were, they were just a group of little kids who hadn't even grown all their hair. They would not hesitate to beat them up.

The main reason they were willing to condescend to make this journey was because their unworthy descendants owed a favor to the Taiyi Sect.

After all, the life-saving grace is profound, and the practice of monks is all about cause and effect.

If the younger generations are not doing well, we have to pull the older ones out to help out.

But later on, because the demons really didn't care about human affairs, although they didn't want to get involved in these things, it didn't mean that they could just watch the cultivation world go to destruction.

As the fight went on, both sides really got angry.

Unexpectedly, at this critical moment, an elder of the Qingyun Sect jumped out and turned against them. Although Gu Xia reacted very quickly and threw everyone else out, in the end she was the only one trapped in the formation.

But this brought great shock to those powerful people.

After all, the identity of the fifth elder is even more unusual, and he is a member of one of the five sects. Before he jumps out to rebel, who would have the leisure to suspect that the elder of Qingyun Sect is engaged in rebellion?

Didn't expect?

Hey, Gu Xia himself didn’t expect this either.

So this guy was locked up, wasn't he?

Fortunately, she got the news from Xie Baiyi, so she didn't get trapped until her death without knowing who the culprit was who plotted against her.

Several big demons were unable to take care of the two of them for the time being, and were still trying desperately to break the formation and rush out. Gu Xia and Xie Baiyi were happy and at ease, and had no plans to move towards their location for the time being.

I don’t know if this group of people is unlucky, but the more noise they make, the more ferocious the attacks they attract. They look murderous at first glance.

The two of them were not too far away from each other, and their situation was a little better than theirs.

Gu Xia would not act rashly before figuring out the structure of this killing formation. She carefully calculated each landing point in advance, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

It was also during this opportunity that those few demons were used to attract most of the attacks.

Xie Baiyi was not stupid. He knew that Gu Xia understood the formation anyway, which was much better than him groping around alone. After she said that, he followed closely behind in silence.

The boy looked indifferent, with a rather "it's up to you" attitude.

Although they had dealt with each other so many times in the past, Gu Xia had rarely seen Xie Baiyi show this expression. For a moment, he not only felt strange, but also speechless.

What are you doing?

Do you really think she can do anything?

I told him that if he wasn't careful this time, he could die. Did he listen to me?!

But this thought only passed by for a moment.

Despite all the complaints, Gu Xia was still keenly aware of the key point that they had previously overlooked. "If I'm not mistaken, the Fifth Elder chose to jump out at this time. He shouldn't be considered the person behind the scenes, right?"

"With such a large scheme set up and so many people dragged into it, the Fifth Elder alone wouldn't be enough." She nodded her chin, her eyes clearly focused. "And with his level of cultivation, even if you managed to escape, he might still be able to catch you and throw you back into the formation."

But Gu Xia had been in the formation for a while. Apart from the five big demons who followed her in, she didn't see any other people. She guessed that they might have been stopped by the disciples outside.

So far, only one bolt of lightning has struck.

After that, Xie Baiyi took the initiative to step into the formation.

If the Fifth Elder had this plan, it would be impossible for the other disciples to remain silent until now.

Obviously, the only explanation is...

This underworld formation...was only targeting her from the beginning to the end.

After coming to this conclusion, Gu Xiamu had a frown on his face.

She felt like she was not feeling well at all.

Why the hell is this?

Xie Baiyi was silent for a few seconds, and felt that she was really too miserable.

"Your guess is correct. The Fifth Elder is indeed not that powerful yet."

I have to say that the Fifth Elder was really patient. Before he took the initiative, the sword in his hand was stained with a lot of demon blood.

No wonder he was able to hide in Qingyun Sect for so long without being discovered. He is indeed a ruthless person.

But then again, it's not like they were completely unnoticed. Didn't Gu Xia and the others suspect each other before?

Unfortunately, there is no evidence, and it is all based on unfounded speculation, so naturally the elders will not believe it.

Xie Baiyi's face didn't show any major fluctuations, but Gu Xia felt that his attitude seemed a little strange. She immediately pulled his sleeve rudely and said, "What else do you want to say? Go on."

"..."

She asked herself to say this.

Xie Baiyi looked at her expression and spoke slowly, "Before we came in, we saw the person who ordered the Fifth Elder."

"Yeah." Gu Xia nodded, "And then?"

Who did this guy learn this from? How can he keep people in suspense?

She was very dissatisfied and was thinking that she would give him a beating openly when she got the chance.

Xie Baiyi didn't know he was about to be beaten. He said in a dark tone, "You actually know that person too."

"Do you still remember Qu Yimian, who was killed by you?"

Gu Xia let out a confused "Ah" before his brain could react.

Then he added the last sentence, "You may not believe it, but she is alive again."

The boy made a rare joke, "How was it? Surprised?"

Gu Xia: "..."

hmmmm?

Damn it, what the hell?
