Barrier of Light

The wind blew, the waves shook, and the sand rustled.

"Elder Mu, there is no need to send it away anymore, I will be here."

Wutuo smiled and spoke to the old man in white robe in front of him.

He and Yao Jin had known each other since childhood. At that time, they were just shadows in the temple. After being selected by the great elder, they were thrown into the sect of the holy inquisitor elder Mu Xin.

Although he is called an "elder", Mu Xin actually has no status or identity in the temple. He has no other place in the main table and can only teach some young people in the Legion of Holy Judges.

"Yao Jin told me to ensure that you arrive at the 'West Sea Crossing' safely."

Mu Xin said softly: "You have been hiding in the house these days. It is said that Gu Nanfeng's delegation has arrived in Hong Kong and will be on the city soon... Your defection to Dongzhou will not be brought to the table even if Nagano does not bring it to the table. You will suffer this loss easily. Leaving the city last night was already very risky."

"If you want to lure out the Dongzhou assassin, how can you not pay a price?"

Wu Tuo smiled and said, "It was worth leaving the city last night. The person who killed me must have been caught by Yao Jin."

"No matter what, I will be guarding Xihaidu these days."

Mu Xin said: "You can only resume your 'temple status' after Yao Jin comes back and makes sure he is fine."

"Then it's hard work, Elder."

Uto bowed subconsciously, then realized that this was Nagano's etiquette, and a gleam of complexity flashed across his eyes.

"It doesn't matter."

Mu Xin smiled and left.

The Western Sea Crossing is the hiding place Yao Jin prepared for Wu Tuo. The Holy Inquisitor controlled the westernmost sea area of ​​​​the Western Continent and divided it into hundreds of areas. It was heavily guarded and no one could go to sea without permission from the temple.

Uto returned to his residence and was stunned the moment he opened the door.

I don’t know if it’s my own imagination.

The world is indescribably quiet...

The giant tree in the courtyard cast a shadow, and under this shadow, at some point, a figure appeared.

"came back?"

The man was lying on the chair, seemingly asleep, and spoke lazily, with a smile in his voice.

"Who are you?!"

Wu Tuo's expression suddenly changed. Within the scope of his mental perception, this person did not exist at all.

He subconsciously wanted to retreat, but a green rune rose up and enveloped the entire courtyard!

"In order to control the 'power', the Xizhou Temple established the 'Western Sea Crossing' outside Guangming City. It is close to the Sea of ​​Origin and has a large amount of abundant supplies, but there is only one drawback...it is not within the scope of the divine domain."

The man on the recliner slowly sat up and stretched: "So the temple has deployed heavy troops and sent a large number of Holy Judges to strictly guard the long line of the West Sea. Maybe I should have thought that you are hidden here."

Wutuo looked at the man in the shadows, his eyes as if he had seen a ghost!

That evil ghost mask... the familiar evil ghost mask appeared again!

The person who came to assassinate him last night was wearing this mask, and he would never admit his mistake!

After the assassination failed, the man was shot by himself and should have been seriously injured. Yao Jin should have captured him at this moment!

how so?

"No, you are not him..."

In just a moment, Wu Tuo understood a lot. The evil ghost in front of him was definitely not the evil ghost who assassinated last night. This guy's spiritual aura was countless times stronger than the one last night!

"Shall we make a deal?"

Gu Shen sat upright, looked at the traitor in front of him seriously, and said, "If you are willing to answer me a question, I can let you go more peacefully...and less painfully."

"???"

Wutuo stared at Gu Shen.

He wanted to see through the face under the evil ghost's mask, but the more he looked at it, the more his heart palpitated.

Since I believe in the light.

He has never had such a ridiculous and weird feeling... The eyes under the mask are like abyss. If he looks at it twice more, his whole soul seems to be extinguished!

An unspeakable terror spread in my heart.

"You had already fled before the Dongze family was exposed. Even if Yao Jin was very capable, he could not have expected that the 'Secret Line No. 1' would be leaked later."

Gu Shen chuckled and asked, "I'm very curious, how did he achieve 'foreseeing the future'?"

"..."

Utuo didn't answer, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

At this moment, all he could think about was how to escape.

From the moment he pushed the door open, he felt something was wrong. Thinking about it carefully, he felt that he had made a very serious mistake.

That is to underestimate Dongzhou...

After working in the adjudication office for so long, he boasted that he knew most of the secrets of Dongzhou's high-level officials, but he never imagined that there was such a powerful transcendent hidden in Dongzhou. He had never met him before, and had never met him before. I have heard of the existence of this person.

There are some people who you can tell at just one glance that they are absolutely unbeatable.

The evil ghost in front of me is this kind of person.

"Aren't you ready to answer?"

Gu Shen sighed softly and stood up. He stretched out an arm and spread his fingers in the void.

Clang, clang, clang!

A sound as crisp as the whisking of scales splashed in the void, and countless iron scales passed in front of Gu Shen's palm, finally condensing into a simple three-foot iron sword.

At this moment, Uto dismissed all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

He made up his mind and suddenly bit the tip of his tongue to concentrate.

boom!

Uto suddenly raised his arm.

[Red Phoenix Crossbow] shot out a golden light in the air!

After a night's rest, his mental strength had recovered a lot. He did not hold back at all with this arrow, and shot an extremely fierce golden arrow directly into the center of Gu Shen's eyebrows!

"Ha" chuckled.

Gu Shen grasped the sword of the Iron Throne and made an unpretentious slash with his backhand. The sword was splashed with light, as if it was forged by a blacksmith, and the courtyard was filled with silver light for a moment!

Directly smash the "attack shot" of this quasi-S-level sealed object into pieces!

Even if it is a fake, the [Red Phoenix Crossbow] imitated by this temple still has extremely powerful lethality.

But... this is just a sealed object after all. How much power it can truly exert depends on the strength of its owner.

With Wu Tuo's mental power, this [Red Phoenix Crossbow] can only kill level 4 at most. As for a strong man like Gu Shen who dominates the title field, this arrow is not enough!

[Red Phoenix Crossbow] is very strong.

But Gu Shen... is stronger!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Wu Tuo's expression turned from pale to flushed in an instant. After raising his arm and shooting an arrow at Gu Shen, he immediately turned around and pressed his palm on the green wall surrounded by runes. From the beginning, he never expected to be able to resist. This evil ghost, this arrow is just to delay time, even if it is only a short second, it is the hope of escape.

He tried his best and used all his strength.

In an instant, a violent impact penetrated the wall, and a hole was broken through the protective barrier of the entire courtyard.

Wutuo escaped at this moment. He rushed out a hundred meters in an instant and shouted at the retreating figures of Mu Xin and the Holy Judge.

"Elder Mu! Save me!"

At this moment, he seemed to see hope.

but……

The shadows of Mu Xin and the Holy Judge crossing the Western Sea did not stop at all.

Uto was stunned.

The next moment, the evil ghost figure swept out of the courtyard and slapped Utuo's head on the sand.

boom!

After a loud noise, Uto seemed to understand something.

He no longer resisted and just allowed Gu Shen to press him onto the sand.

He stared blankly at the blurry shadow of the Western Sea Crossing in the distance.

As the tide washed against the shore, his consciousness became blurred, and a sharp pain hit him.

"answer me."

Gu Shen still spoke in an extremely calm tone: "How did Yao Jin know that the 'Tiguse Family' would be investigated?"

"I……"

Wutuo closed his eyes, struggled in pain for a long time, and said hoarsely: "I don't know!"

He felt a sharp pain in his mind, and the tide that undulated with the waves seemed to pour into his head.

Finally, a long sigh.

His world went dark.

…

…

In the quiet courtyard, this long sigh still lingered, and it slowly dissipated after a long time.

The flowers and plants in this small courtyard sway in the wind and stretch out.

The walls were not broken and the bricks and tiles were not damaged.

Everything is intact here because there was no fighting at all.

Wutuo kept pushing the door and entered, his eyes were dull, stuck in the gloom... From the beginning to the end, he never really entered this small courtyard.

But what he saw was real.

There was indeed a figure wearing an evil ghost mask under the shade of the tree.

But the ones that follow are just illusions.

Shout? Break the wall? Escape?

Gu Shen would never give Wu Tuo these opportunities... The real despair is not to set up a formation barrier in the material world to trap people inside.

Real despair is to create a mental prison.

From the moment he felt that the world was silent and strange, Wu Tuo had already stepped into the dream weaved by Gu Shen.

Yao Jin pursues Zhong Fan.

Gu Shen chases Wu Tuo.

If Zhong Fan hadn't appeared in a devil mask last night, Gu Shen wouldn't have taken advantage of his plan and set up this trap... But killing "Utuo" here is better than killing him last night. Guangming City didn't have it in Xihaidu With support from the Divine Realm, they could never find out how Wutuo died.

the most important is.

Wutuo died at Xihaidu. The big reason was Yao Jin's dereliction of duty.

It is expected that the progress of the Gu family mission on the other side should also be very smooth.

"The only pity is that you really don't know the answer..."

Gu Shen stood up, and his last sigh of regret came from the failed torture in the dream.

Uto's spirit has collapsed.

Forcibly searching the heart lake of an extraordinary person of this level has a high probability of failure.

Gu Shen said softly: "Okay, it's time to hit the road."

He came to Utuo, helped him into the hospital, and put him on a chair.

Uto's expression was extremely pale.

There is still fear and fear in his eyes...

Gu Shen smiled, stretched out two fingers, and tapped his forehead lightly.

"Boom."

Wutuo's pupils were slit, and the dark color was like ink.

This gentle tap was transmitted to the spiritual sea, causing a complete collapse, and the violent vibration turned into a tsunami.

"Although this [Red Phoenix Crossbow] is a fake, it can still be considered a good thing."

Gu Shen looked at Wu Tuo and said calmly: "If you think about it carefully, many of your treasures in Guangming City are with me. You are really my nobles."

Light blessing robe, disaster bracelet.

Now coupled with this quasi-S-level [Red Phoenix Crossbow]...

Each of these objects is of great value. I am afraid that the current Saint Son Su Ye does not have so many valuable objects!

Gu Shen knew that the things from the Church of Light were easy to handle and not easy to use. Each item was marked, but it didn't matter. He just liked to hold it, not use it. After taking away the [Red Phoenix Crossbow], Gu Shen directly pressed it In the deepest part of the Pure Land realm.

After doing this, Gu Shen left the Xihaidu courtyard, not forgetting to close the courtyard door for the defected third adjudicator before leaving.
