Chapter 484: The Divine Sect's Inheritance
Gu Er saw Gu Li and Mu Yunxi escape successfully, and rushed over and shouted, "Young Master!"
Gu Li said, "Let's leave first."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked towards the outskirts of the forest with firm and quick steps.
Gu Er responded without hesitation: "Okay."
Afterwards, he, Gu Qi and Gu Shisan followed closely behind Gu Li and Mu Yunxi. They shuttled through the dense forest, and the fallen leaves under their feet made rustling sounds.
By the time Huang Xiner and the others finally broke the formation with great effort and rushed out, the forest had already returned to peace, leaving only the remnants of the formation they had destroyed and messy footprints.
They looked around but could no longer find any trace of Gu Li and the others.
Huang Xiner was so angry that her face turned red. She stamped her feet fiercely and cursed loudly: "Damn it, they ran away again!"
On the other side, Gu Li and his companions successfully left the Oblivion Forest.
Gu Li stopped, shook the space ring on his hand, and said to Gu Er and the others: "See? Next time, run away after grabbing something, don't stay for a second."
Gu Er looked at the ring in Gu Li's hand, his eyes full of admiration, and nodded quickly and said, "I understand."
Gu Li looked at Gu Er, Gu Qi and Gu Shisan. Although they had undergone simple treatment, they had not fully recovered and were not very mobile.
"We still have other tasks to do. You three should follow us first and leave after your injuries have healed."
Gu Er, Gu Qi, and Gu Shisan answered in unison, "Yes."
So, a few people packed their luggage and, led by Gu Li, headed towards the next mission location.
In the next half month, Gu Li led everyone to travel through the vast area and targeted many disciples from medium-sized forces.
They move quickly and stealthily, like ghosts in the dark night, and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy without being noticed.
As for whether these robbed people are so-called "good people", in the minds of Gu Li and others, as long as they are forces hostile to the Divine Spirit Sect, there is no such thing as "good people".
This is a battle that concerns the survival of the sect, and everything must be based on the interests of the Divine Sect.
At this time, Gu Li and his companions came to a remote small county town within the sphere of influence of Wanxiang Pavilion.
This small county town is hidden in the mountains and surrounded by dense forests, making it particularly peaceful.
All the Shadow Guards gathered here quietly, and the whole yard was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.
Everyone waited quietly in the yard. After a while, a black shadow came rushing from the sky and landed in the yard in the blink of an eye.
The person who came was Xing Huoxiao. He was dressed in black, with a stern face and sharp and calm eyes.
Gu Li saw Xing Huoxiao coming and put a pile of space rings on the table.
These rings were stacked up one on top of another, and there were estimated to be two or three hundred of them, sparkling with a strange light in the sun.
She said calmly, "That's all for now."
Xing Huoxiao looked at the mountain of rings, and even though he was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but be shocked.
When he used his spiritual sense to probe into each space ring and found that they were filled with various precious alchemy and refining materials, the shock in his eyes became even greater.
Those materials emit an alluring glow, and some are even rare treasures in the world.
He couldn't help but exclaimed: "You guys have made so much in just one month!"
Gu Li nodded slightly and said calmly: "Use it first, we have already grabbed all the ones that should be grabbed. Now give me the Yuanjing, and I will send people to buy them separately."
Xing Huoxiao frowned slightly, a worried look on his face. He said slowly, "Large-scale purchases will attract their attention. Once they find out that we are hoarding resources in large quantities, those forces will most likely unite to encircle and suppress us."
He was well aware of the interests involved. Once a large-scale war broke out, even if the Shenling Sect was a super sect, it would be difficult to withstand the siege from numerous forces.
Gu Li was confident. She shook her head and said, "We will buy in various places in the northern continent. We won't be discovered. My people are very smart. They can disguise themselves and cleverly hide from others."
Mu Yunxi also spoke up, "You don't have to worry about anything. They didn't directly launch a siege against the Divine Spirit Sect because they have their own concerns. As long as we act cautiously, nothing will go wrong."
Gu Li looked stern and his eyes were like torches. He slowly said, "Three months later, you can kill some people appropriately to deter other forces."
When Xing Huoxiao heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his face. He frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Who to kill?"
Mu Yunxi stood aside and explained slowly: "Ah Li's intention is to destroy a few small forces that target the Divine Spirit Sect. This will have a deterrent effect and serve as a warning to other forces."
After hearing this, Xing Huoxiao smiled bitterly and said, "Little Ancestor, you are joking, right?"
Countless bloody images emerged in my mind, and I couldn't help but feel worried.
Even if it is a small force, other medium and large forces will take action against the Divine Spirit Sect at that time.
Gu Li looked at him and asked, "Will the Divine Spirit Sect be willing to be suppressed for a long time?"
After hearing this, Xing Huoxiao fell silent.
He knew in his heart that what Gu Li said was right. As a super large sect, the Divine Spirit Sect would naturally not be willing to be suppressed all the time.
But once the war breaks out, it will be a disaster. Countless lives will be lost, and the young disciples in the sect will also face the test of life and death, with a great risk of falling.
Seeing that he remained silent, Gu Li continued, "After being suppressed for such a long time, do you think the Shenling Sect can maintain its current strength? Our resources are constantly being plundered, and our disciples' cultivation is also restricted. In the long run, our strength will only get weaker and weaker."
If sanctions were imposed by several forces, it might not have an impact on the Divine Spirit Sect.
But almost half of the forces of all sizes in the northern continent have participated in this, and this cannot be solved by simply tolerating it.
Xing Huoxiao pondered for a moment and sighed helplessly: "I need to go back and discuss it with the sect master. This is not something I can decide."
Even the sect leader needs the consent of the supreme elders.
Such a major decision must be made after careful consideration and discussion.
It is not something that he, his direct disciple, can make the decision on his own.
Gu Li nodded gently: "Yeah."
She also knew that the Divine Spirit Sect would not agree to this approach so easily. After all, going to war meant huge risks and sacrifices.
But in her opinion, war is inevitable sooner or later. Instead of passively taking the beating, it is better to take the initiative and seize the initiative.
Gu Li seemed to suddenly remember something, his expression straightened, and he said seriously: "Oh, right, there is a space ring inside that contains Master's things."
Xing Huoxiao's eyes were full of confusion and shock, and he blurted out: "What? What did you say was in there?"
Gu Li nodded slightly, his eyes calm and firm, and slowly explained: "Most of the inheritance of the Divine Spirit Sect. Those precious cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and records about the history and heritage of the sect are all in that ring."
Every word she spoke was clear and powerful, making Xing Huoxiao completely understand that this was no joke.
Xing Huoxiao's eyes suddenly turned red with excitement, his hands trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with uncontrollable trembling and excitement: "Are you telling the truth?"
He never imagined that he could actually find the long-lost heritage of the Divine Spirit Sect. This was undoubtedly the key to the revival of the entire sect.
Gu Li looked calm and said firmly, "I don't have any reason to lie to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Huoxiao knelt down with a plop. With a solemn and pious look, he kowtowed twice to Gu Li and Mu Yunxi, saying, "I, your disciple, thank you, my little ancestors."
His voice was filled with deep gratitude and respect, and he touched his forehead to the ground for a long time without rising.
If it weren't for the changes that happened back then, the strength of the Divine Spirit Sect would not have regressed to its current level, and the return of these inheritances may allow the sect to return to its peak.
Seeing this, Mu Yunxi said, "Hurry up and stop kneeling down. We are so much younger than you and can't accept such a gift from you." She used both hands to try to help Xing Huoxiao up, her face full of helplessness and embarrassment.
Xing Huoxiao was stubborn and refused to stand up. He said firmly, "No, you are the elders. You deserve my respect, both in terms of seniority and gratitude."
Mu Yunxi sighed helplessly, waved her hand and said, "Okay, go back now."
Xing Huoxiao then slowly stood up, his eyes still flashing with excitement, and carefully took the space ring containing the inheritance, as if he was holding the hope of the entire Divine Sect.
"After I return, I will ask the sect master for Yuanjing and give it to you then."
Gu Li nodded: "Okay."
He bowed to Gu Li and Mu Yunxi again before turning around and leaving.
