Chapter 139: Gu He: Yun Yun, no need to beg him, I can save the old Sect Master!

Gu Fei's act of killing Protector Jiu in a second not only horrified Yun Shan, but also shocked every powerhouse in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Right now, almost all the powerhouses of the Gama Empire were gathered at the Yunlan Sect.

They looked one after another toward Gu Fei, who stood atop the massive Magical Beast in the sky, their expressions filled with nothing but respect and worship.

"I always knew he was strong, but I didn't know he was strong to this extent. Seeing it now, it is terrifying to the extreme!"

Jia Xingtian and Hai Bodong, who had rushed here to join the excitement, also wore grave expressions, their eyes filled with shock.

Regarding Gu Fei's strength, they finally had a concrete understanding.

That Protector Jiu from just now appeared even stronger than Yun Shan, a Three-Star Dou Zong, yet he was killed by Gu Fei as if he were a chicken.

"It is fortunate that my Jia Ma Imperial Family never offended this person." Jia Xingtian's face revealed a look of relief; for such a peerless powerhouse, let alone befriending him, simply not offending him was already a great blessing.

Hai Bodong lowered his head in thought and whispered, "If there is an opportunity in the future, I must have the Mittal Clan do everything in their power to befriend this senior!"

With Protector Jiu killed, Yun Shan was still in a state of shock; he had not expected that this mysterious Protector Jiu would not be able to withstand a single move from Gu Fei.

A sense of panic instantly appeared in his heart; he knew that Gu Fei's next target would be himself. He wanted to flee, but the moment his feet moved, he let out a painful sound.

"Ah!"

Yun Shan suddenly clutched his head and wailed, and a dark, gloomy color appeared on the surface of his body.

It was not just him; the other Elders of the Yunlan Sect also froze completely.

Their bodies were as still as puppets, and their faces showed expressions of pain, appearing exceptionally twisted and hideous.

"What is wrong? What is this situation?"

Seeing this scene, confusion appeared in the beautiful eyes of Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran, as they did not understand the strange changes in Yun Shan and the Elders.

Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others also wore confused expressions, but their brows immediately furrowed.

They felt that the Yunlan Sect's sudden increase in strength had something to do with this strange change.

Watching Yun Shan and the others like this, Yun Yun wanted to step forward to help Yun Shan, but she was directly blown away by the terrifying energy from Yun Shan.

Yun Yun's face turned pale, and she bit her red lips in frustration. She knew she was powerless and could only cast a pleading gaze toward Gu Fei.

"Yun Yun, what do you think the Yunlan Sect relied on to see its strength soar in just three years?"

"Yun Shan, including those few, all received help from the Soul Hall!"

"Dealing with the dark people of the Soul Hall is the price. If I hadn't come today, once the Yunlan Sect was no longer useful to the Soul Hall, they could have sucked away these people's souls at any time!"

Gu Fei explained indifferently: "Now, Protector Jiu is dead, and the methods he applied have erupted. At most, it will leave Yun Shan and the others as chaotic beings, eventually dying suddenly..."

"Turning into chaotic beings and dying suddenly!" Seeing the consequences were so severe, Yun Yun's pretty face turned deathly pale, her jade hands clenched tight, and she felt incomparably disappointed in Yun Shan.

How was Yun Shan leading the Yunlan Sect toward prosperity? This was leading them toward total destruction!

"I beg you, save them!"

Even if she felt disappointed in her heart, they were, after all, her mentors.

"Yun Yun, I am saving you because we are friends, but these people are total strangers to me. Why should I save them?"

"I..."

Yun Yun was at a loss for words. She knew that Gu Fei had helped her too much and had absolutely no obligation to save Yun Shan and the Elders.

"Yun Yun, no need to beg him, perhaps I can save the old Sect Master and the Great Elder and the others!"

Just at this moment, Gu He stood out. He was a Sixth-Rank Advanced Alchemist, and his soul power was stronger than an ordinary person's; this was the reason Protector Jiu had not used the Soul Hall's help on him, fearing he would discover some clues.

"You? Can you do it?"

Yun Yun subconsciously questioned Gu He.

Previously, Gu He clearly knew that she did not want to marry and that she had been placed under house arrest after her strength was sealed, yet he still chose to marry her, which made her feel very repulsed.

Moreover, Gu He was merely a Low-Level Dou Huang and a Grade 6 Alchemist; what right did he have to save Yun Shan and the many Elders?

Facing Yun Yun's gaze, Gu He felt guilty; his eyes dodged constantly, not daring to look Yun Yun in the eye.

"Believe me, I can save the old Sect Master!"

A moment later, determination appeared in Gu He's eyes, and he walked toward Yun Shan, who was in pain and on the verge of collapse.

Gu He released his Dou Qi to protect his whole body, then cautiously approached Yun Shan. After getting close, he extended his hand and tapped Yun Shan's brow, his soul power spreading out, attempting to suppress the power within Yun Shan's body.

However, the next moment, Yun Shan suddenly went berserk and slapped Gu He away with one palm. Even though Gu He had taken precautions, he was still slapped until he vomited blood.

The slapped-away Gu He looked at Yun Shan in frustration, clenching his fists tightly.

He wanted to try again, but as soon as his feet moved, the terrifying power he had just felt inside Yun Shan's body seemed to come back.

Finally, he sighed, the determination in his eyes vanished, replaced by despair, and he stopped speaking.

In a chaotic state, one is already devoid of consciousness, like a walking corpse; Gu He's current soul power was far from enough to provide a cure.

Seeing that Gu He was powerless, the only remaining hope was Gu Fei.

Yun Yun looked at Gu Fei with a gaze that was nearly pleading. Her jade hands were tightly clenched, hating her own incompetence. Her originally rosy complexion had become deathly pale due to the intense internal struggle, like the morning mist in the deep mountains.

"Gu Fei, as long as you save my master and the others, I am willing to be your slave and maid to serve you..."

When Yun Yun spoke, she did not dare to meet Gu Fei's eyes; she was afraid that Gu Fei would look down on her for abandoning her self-respect like this. Her originally delicate frame appeared even thinner and more precarious in the gale-force winds from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's wings.

In the sky above the entire Yunlan Sect, Yun Yun seemed to be facing Gu Fei helplessly, and also facing the zombie-like people of the Yunlan Sect behind her.

Gu Fei looked at Yun Yun, who was disheveled in the strong wind, and ultimately could not bear it.

"Sigh... you are ultimately burdened by the Yunlan Sect!" Gu Fei sighed and agreed to Yun Yun.

Powerful soul energy was released from Gu Fei's body, instantly enveloping the entire Yunlan Sect.

Once the soul energy appeared, Jia Xingtian, Hai Bodong, and the others immediately frowned, sighing inwardly that not only was Gu Fei's strength formidable, but his soul power was also something that left others far behind.

The special energy that Protector Jiu had left in the souls of Yun Shan and the others was expelled by Gu Fei using his soul power, and a mass of black mist drifted out from the tops of their heads.

Gu Fei flicked his fingers, and streaks of Exotic Fire shot out, burning those black mists into nothingness.

Gu He witnessed all of this with his own eyes, his heart filled with despair, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

The other party had come to snatch his prospective wife, and it was one thing that he was powerless to stop it.

Right now, his own most proficient soul power was still far inferior to the opponent's, and crucially, he had just made a fool of himself in public by being self-righteous.

"What kind of Exotic Fire is that, it's so powerful!"

Within the crowd, a pair of burning eyes stared fixedly at the Exotic Fire in Gu Fei's hand; the source of this gaze was none other than Xiao Yan.

A flash of greed flickered in Xiao Yan's eyes and vanished; though he felt desire, facing an expert like Gu Fei, he did not have the guts to covet the other's Exotic Fire.
