Chapter 1181: Buried here!

Finally quiet.

This sound startled Duan Tianyou.

He vaguely sensed what Bai was about to do?

Soon she would kill herself, then continue returning to the Guile Palace's ranks.

Bai had already planned all of this.

Duan Tianyou felt a growing dread: "If Bai is a mole, then wouldn't the Guile Palace already be full of human moles?"

This is too terrifying!

This completely overturned his understanding!

If he died, this secret of Bai's identity would be forever buried, unknown to anyone.

Bai has been in the Upper Realm for years, becoming the Master of the Shadow Abyss, even drawing near the Dark Palace, and likely now controls many secrets within the Guile Palace.

Duan Tianyou felt his mind tangled like yarn, all concerning the crisis Bai brought.

But he was powerless, even becoming Bai's tool!

Duan Tianyou sighed, feeling a hint of desolation: "I, of lofty standing, am to die at the hands of a traitor?"

Wait!

A thought flashed like lightning in Duan Tianyou's mind.

Bai is a traitor of the Guile Palace, and Fang Yuan is a traitor of the Gu Clan; could Fang Yuan also be Lu Xuan's disciple?

Before entering this remnant domain, Bai followed Luo Sheng Elder into the Gu Clan Heaven; could Gu Yue Laozi have also failed to discover Bai's identity?

If Gu Yue Laozi had discovered this, he would not have died, and this scene would not have appeared.

Thinking of this, Duan Tianyou's resentment surged; he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Gu Yue Laozi, you idiot! All day mysterious, thinking yourself all-powerful, yet you couldn't even see Bai's identity! What good are you?"

Elsewhere, the Xuanji Holy Lord and four companions ignored Duan Tianyou, all smiling.

Ji Fuyao took Xuanji Holy Lord's tender hand, gently stroking her face with concern, asking, "Fourth Junior Sister, you've lost weight."

Xuanji Holy Lord let out a soft 'eh,' asking, "Really?"

Ji Fuyao pinched her slender waist, replying, "Yes."

Qing Qiu's beautiful eyes rippled as she asked, "Senior Sister, how have you been alone over there?"

Xuanji Holy Lord smiled, saying, "Cultivation, cultivation, still cultivation."

Next, she recounted everything that had happened from her entry into the Guile Palace until now.

Ji Fuyao said, "Truly not easy; it's often dangerous."

Xuanji Holy Lord said gently, "Senior Sister, you needn't worry too much. Our master has actually been watching over me; if anything arises that I cannot handle, he will intervene. Moreover, Third Senior Brother is patrolling the heavens; he too will act covertly."

"I suspect that at times Third Senior Brother secretly helps me resolve troubles, but he hardly ever shows up, acting like wind leaving no trace; I have no idea whether he's present, or which elder he has incarnated as."

A hint of annoyance appeared on Ji Fuyao's stunning face: "Old Three, that guy, is mysterious all day, matching Gu Yue Laozi."

All four laughed.

Hearing this, Duan Tianyou furrowed his brows.

He suddenly recalled that when they had investigated Lu Xuan's disciples earlier, a middle-aged man in gray robes had been unremarkable, while another disciple seemed to have gone missing.

It turned out that the missing disciple was Bai!

And that unremarkable disciple, whom they had continually overlooked, was actually a powerhouse, freely coming and going in their Guile Palace!

"This is too shocking! Has our Guile Palace been infiltrated to this extent? I must survive and tell this to the Dark Ancestor."

A fierce will to survive, unprecedented, suddenly erupted in Duan Tianyou's heart!

Xuanji Holy Lord looked at Ji Fuyao and said, "The Guile Palace has an unparalleled prodigy formation master, Elder Nether Formation. He can discern the trends of heaven and earth; it is he who laid those terrifying formation patterns in this remnant domain. Moreover, he should have some trump cards sufficient to cope with the worst situation."

Ji Fuyao smiled charmingly, "No problem."

Wu Wo laughed, saying, "No matter how strong he is, once our master acts, a gentle breeze sweeps the great river."

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "Indeed. But Elder Nether Formation is scrutinizing the formation patterns of Everlasting Heaven; we cannot let our guard down."

Ji Fuyao slightly tilted her snow-white neck, nodded, and said, "I have noted this."

Qing Qiu pondered, "Over endless ages, the Guile Palace has likely been doing this, eager to invade Everlasting Heaven. But our master once laid down Dao patterns; this is absolutely beyond their ability to probe."

Xuanji Holy Lord added, "Oh, right. Outside this remnant domain, Luo Sheng Elder is standing by to receive us. Once the Guile Palace loses control of this remnant domain, we will leave here."

Wu Wo asked, "What realm is Luo Sheng Elder in?"

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "Just one step away from entering the half-step Dao Sovereign realm."

Wu Wo disagreed, "Our master could kill him with a flick of a finger! However, Luo Sheng Elder seems to be an elder of your Luo Lineage; if he died, would you be at a disadvantage in the Guile Palace?"

Xuanji Holy Lord said, "No problem; I am now the Master of the Shadow Abyss of the Luo Lineage, and I share resources with the Eclipse Lineage. The Dark Ancestor values me greatly; whether Luo Sheng Elder lives or dies makes no great difference."

Next, Ji Fuyao spoke about Xiao Liang's situation.

Xuanji Holy Lord exclaimed in surprise, "Our master has taken on another disciple!"

Xiao Liang, she naturally knew, had once been a pioneer of the Sword Qi Great Wall in the Lower Realm.

"Really good."

Xuanji Holy Lord felt a rare calm.

Beside Senior Sister and the others, she felt as if she had returned to the Great Dao Sect, to Xuan Qing Feng.

Although her stay at Xuan Qing Feng was brief, those days shone with unforgettable radiance, deeply imprinted in her heart, a treasure she cherishes.

Ji Fuyao said, "Xiao Liang, Ye Chen, and Fang Yuan are in the Gu Clan's remnant domain."

Xuanji Holy Lord felt regret, "It's a pity I can't see the Tenth Junior Brother."

Not long after.

The four parted reluctantly.

Time is about up.

They have to go out!

Xuanji Holy Lord chuckled, "Senior Sister, cooperate with me to put on a play."

Ji Fuyao understood, "Okay."

Xuanji Holy Lord raised her jade hand, directly sending a Spiritual Weapon into Duan Tianyou's body; his face filled with terror, "Bai, what are you doing?"

He faintly sensed a terrifying power surging within his body, like a volcano, trending toward an explosive tendency.

His flesh and soul were directly severely injured!

Xuanji Holy Lord directly sealed Duan Tianyou's divine sense and soul.

The next moment.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

This sealed heaven and earth began to shatter.

Many of the Weiyang Army and the surviving members of the Guile Palace all looked in that direction.

Even the Dark Shepherd Elder and Commander Yu Jin temporarily ceased hostilities.

"Where are you going!"

Wu Wo held the Ancient Bronze Bowl, golden light bursting forth, like a blazing divine sun, shining upon Duan Tianyou and Xuanji Holy Lord.

Xuanji Holy Lord fled with Duan Tianyou!

In the sealed land, many Guile Palace elders all perished!

Everyone was shocked.

Lu Xuan, how are these three disciples of yours so heaven-defying?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Duan Tianyou's body directly self-detonated, and the terrifyingly overwhelming shockwave, like the sea overturning, with a mighty, sky‑covering momentum, turned into a huge wave sweeping heaven and earth, directly blasting Xuanji Holy Lord away.

Dark Shepherd Elder's face filled with shock: "Duan Tianyou actually volunteered to sacrifice himself for Bai! Too bad he himself will be buried here!"
