Chapter 378: Chapter 215: Sigh, the universe in the sleeve was cultivated a bit askew.

"We’ve been found, it’s Juxia Sect, luckily." Gu Shanhai’s gaze turned toward the distance, and the leader was a cultivator at the second realm of the Middle Three Realms, in the Heavenly Scenery Stage, wearing the robe of Juxia Sect.

If it were Feather Transformation Sect, then Bai Lv’s identity would be exposed, which would trigger a more in-depth investigation.

But if it was Juxia Sect, just silencing them would suffice.

As for Bai Lv’s exposure, Gu Shanhai didn’t blame him; such things were unavoidable. So long as any traces existed, they would eventually be discovered by someone.

Gu Shanhai had even considered developing communication technology, but in the Xuanji Realm, with Spiritual Energy present, signals and electromagnetism were susceptible to interference and thus utterly unusable. Moreover, the Spiritual Sense of cultivators could detect these transmitted signals, totally incompatible with their environment.

Unless Gu Shanhai developed a communication method based on Spiritual Energy, he could forget about remote commanding.

"Elder, you take Shen An and go first, I’ll hold them off," Bai Lv proposed immediately upon seeing the disciples of Juxia Sect, planning to cover Gu Shanhai’s retreat.

"Cover for me? How? One at the Heavenly Scenery Stage, six at the Spirit Origin Stage plus thirty-six at the Purple Mansion Stage, that’s a small squadron right there." Gu Shanhai quipped.

He wasn’t afraid at all. If it were the Upper Three Realms, he might contemplate whether to run away, but since they were all from the Middle and Lower Three Realms, it was an easy task.

"Then... You don’t have a God Slayer Mecha, do you?" Bai Lv hesitated in asking.

"No, why would I have such a thing? I don’t even have the materials to make it," Gu Shanhai felt it was better to stop joking around.

For a moment, Bai Lv felt somewhat conflicted.

"Step back, don’t interfere with my... cough, performance," Gu Shanhai started to say he needed room to show off but then considered that he wasn’t the destined protagonist of Xuanji Realm, so he shouldn’t entertain such thoughts carelessly, lest his attempt to show off backfire.

"You plan to take action yourself?!" Bai Lv was astounded. He knew Gu Shanhai was stronger than him but only marginally, since they were both within the same rank; it was just that Gu Shanhai’s experience bar was almost full.

"Yes, any problem? The reason why I can be an Elder is not only because I know more, but I can actually fight rather well," Gu Shanhai pondered that after many years, he could finally exhibit his prowess in front of others.

Just thinking about it excited him.

With things as they were, Bai Lv had no choice but to trust Gu Shanhai; he couldn’t defeat the enemy anyway.

The Deer Demon Beast and the Azure Dragon combined could perhaps block an attack from someone at the Heavenly Scenery Stage, but he couldn’t even handle those at the Spirit Origin Stage.

"Interesting, the magical artifacts of Chengyun Sect, you crafted them, didn’t you?" the leading cultivator at the Heavenly Scenery Stage said teasingly as he observed Gu Shanhai.

He was pondering how to extract the methods of crafting the artifacts from Gu Shanhai. If they, Juxia Sect, acquired them, they could annihilate Chengyun Sect in one fell swoop, and even Feather Transformation Sect could be dealt with conveniently.

"No, it wasn’t me. How could I even do those things?" Gu Shanhai denied immediately.

"You think I believe you? Hand over the methods of crafting the magical artifacts, and reveal from which ancient ruins you have discovered these crafting techniques, and I might leave your body intact. Otherwise, I will let you experience what it means to wish for death," the opponent said with disdain.

He was in the Heavenly Scenery Stage, and for him to face two juniors in the Purple Mansion Stage, there was no need for respect, especially since they were not disciples of his own sect, naturally, he disregarded them.

"I’m about to die anyway, why should I give you the method? You should say that as long as I hand over the method of crafting, you will spare my life," Gu Shanhai countered again.

Why do they all say this? Dead if you speak, dead if you don’t. If it were Gu Shanhai, he definitely wouldn’t say a thing.

Indeed, not just the Juxia Sect, but even the disciples of his own Chengyun Sect saw it the same way. They never considered other sects or Loose Cultivators as people, which is why they could utter such outrageous words during conflicts.

The cultivator from Juxia Sect at the Heavenly Scenery Stage heard Gu Shanhai’s words and couldn’t help but snort with laughter. His Spell surged forth, targeting the Mountain Gate Array of Five Elements Sect.

He didn’t intend to waste words with Gu Shanhai; after capturing him, there would be plenty of time to torment him, and it wouldn’t matter how tough his opponent was then.

But as the Spell fell, a ripple appeared on the surface of the Array, and nothing happened.

"This... looks like we’ve hooked a big fish," said the cultivator from Juxia Sect at the Heavenly Scenery Stage. Far from being discouraged, he became even more excited.

Who could enjoy a sect’s Mountain Gate Array that even he, at the Heavenly Scenery Stage, couldn’t shake?

It must be a big shot.

He thought of a legendary figure, one who had disappeared for some time.

"You are the Dharma Transmission Elder of Chengyun Sect, that Taoist Wude!" the cultivator from Juxia Sect immediately deduced Gu Shanhai’s identity based on his own speculation.

Gu Shanhai wasn’t surprised; changing his appearance was to deceive the Xuanji Realm, not to actually become another person. As long as someone was smart and pieced together the information, they could guess his identity.

"How could that be, I just specialize in Arrays," Gu Shanhai laughed, yet in his mind he thought: This one must not be spared!

But the opponent plainly disbelieved him. You specialize in Arrays? Even if you were the embodiment of Arrays, at the Purple Mansion Stage, you couldn’t block his attack at the Heavenly Scenery Stage.
