nYe Xiu bowed and gestured for Gu Mingzhou to go first.

nHis face was very respectful, but Gu Mingzhou could tell he was smiling.

nYe Xiu was secretly happy and rejoicing.

nWas it because he had left this place? The thoughts that had flashed past Gu Mingzhou’s mind gradually emerged.

n“Three days ago, the Floating Jade Island Master asked me to enter the library of the Floating Jade Island. Did he tell you about this?” Gu Mingzhou suddenly turned his head and said as he passed by Ye Xiu.

n“Oh my, I almost forgot. The King asked me to bring Senior to the library Pavilion first!” Ye Xiu didn’t expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly speak. He came back to his senses and seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

n“That’s good. It seems like I’m fortunate enough to be able to read the cultivation techniques of the Floating Jade Island today.” Gu Mingzhou nodded in satisfaction and walked up.

nYe Xiu followed behind Gu Mingzhou and secretly wiped the sweat off his forehead. He let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly followed behind Gu Mingzhou, walking up the steps.

nHowever, Ye Xiu didn’t notice the moment Gu Mingzhou turned around, his face turned cold.

nThe stairs leading to the surface were still in a spiral shape, winding like a dragon, connecting the underground palace to the surface.

nThis was Gu Mingzhou’s second time walking up the steps, so he was quite familiar with the way.

nFor some reason, Gu Mingzhou felt a strange silence as he walked up.

nGu Mingzhou’s pace was very fast, and Ye Xiu followed closely behind.

nThe two of them didn’t say anything and just walked quickly toward the ground.

nYe Xiu’s breathing suddenly became hurried and he began to pant.

nThat was a sign of nervousness.

nBut what was Ye Xiu so nervous about?

nThe light on the ground was getting closer and closer, and the door leading to the depths of the Floating Jade Palace could be vaguely seen.

n“There’s something I forgot to ask you.” Gu Mingzhou, who was walking forward with his head lowered, suddenly stopped.

n“What?” Ye Xiu didn’t expect Gu Mingzhou to suddenly stop and almost bump into him. He hurriedly stopped, his face a little panicked.

n“Exterminate!” Gu Mingzhou didn’t seem to notice Ye Xiu’s panic and looked at him.

nAs Gu Mingzhou’s voice rang out, an invisible wave of air instantly swept through the long staircase.

nYe Xiu sensed something strange. His right hand grabbed the sword at his waist and prepared to pull it out.

n“Let’s go. What are you waiting for?” A voice suddenly came from in front of Ye Xiu.

nYe Xiu followed the sound and saw Gu Mingzhou, who had been standing in front of him, had already walked to the door of the palace and was about to step out.

nIn a daze, Ye Xiu immediately let go of the sword at his waist.

nAlthough he felt strange, seeing Gu Mingzhou about to step out of the hall, the doubts in his heart disappeared. He quickly chased after Gu Mingzhou.

nAnd when Ye Xiu walked towards Gu Mingzhou, the Gu Mingzhou in his eyes also turned around and stepped out, directly walking through the palace doors.

nYe Xiu, who was originally calm, suddenly became ferocious the moment he saw Gu Mingzhou walk out of the hall. Countless spiritual energy burst out of his body.

nThe sword at his waist flew out, and he leaped towards the palace door.

n“Kill!” his voice was incomparably loud and clear, instantly passing through the hall door and reverberating through the Floating Jade Hall, breaking the original silence.

nAt the same time Ye Xiu’s voice rang out, the silence in the rear hall of the Floating Jade Palace was broken. Suddenly, an endless amount of power burst forth, and a terrifyingly large wave of energy swept through the entire Floating Jade temple.

nDeafening explosions rang out continuously.

nThe heat waves rolled and dust flew everywhere!

nThe Floating Jade Palace seemed to have set off a storm of energy that could shatter the heavens and earth. It was as if it wanted to annihilate everything within the palace.

nCountless figures jumped out from all directions, swaying in the dust-filled hall.

nYe Xiu raised his sword. As soon as he stepped out of the hall, he raised his sword without thinking and slashed at Gu Mingzhou.

nWhoosh!

nA resplendent sword light shot out from the treasured sword in Ye Xiu’s hand. It carried boundless power, as if it wanted to split the void apart, and instantly slashed at the figure!

nRubble flew and the palace shook slightly.

nIn the dust cloud, a crack that was dozens of meters long appeared and meandered to the corner of the wall.

nOn both sides of this tens of meters long, hideous crack, dust was falling and flying. The broken corpses that were split in half were scattered on both sides of the crack, and hot blood was constantly spurting out of the broken corpses.

nIn the vast rear hall, as the dust settled, several figures were gradually revealed.

nThey had big shoulders and round waists, and they either had human bodies or beast heads.

nThere were turtles, snakes, water Dragons, clams, fish, prawns, and dark eels. It was extremely terrifying.

nThere were thousands of them scattered in all directions of the back hall, forming an encirclement. They all looked at Ye Xiu, who was floating in the air, in shock.

n“Haha, I didn’t fail my mission. This kid is finally dead! An existence that surpasses the Dao Foundation is only so-so!” Ye Xiu floated down from the sky and landed in front of the palace door leading to the underground palace. It was as if he didn’t see the gazes of the surrounding beast cultivators. Through the gradually settling dust, he looked at the blurry corpse on the ground and couldn’t help but laugh.

nHis voice echoed throughout the Floating Jade rear hall.

nHowever, Ye Xiu didn’t get the response he wanted. The back hall was very quiet, and no beast cultivator made a sound!

nYe Xiu finally noticed that something was wrong. The excitement on his face gradually faded. His eyes couldn’t help but narrow as he looked at the two corpses on both sides of the crack.

n“Not him? How is that possible?” Ye Xiu’s expression changed drastically as he asked in disbelief.

nHe realized that the body that had been split in half was not Gu Mingzhou, but the underwater beast cultivator with the body of a snake and the head of a man.

nIn other words, his plan had failed!

nWhile Ye Xiu was still in disbelief, before he could recover from his shock, a light shout came from behind him!

n“Nothing is impossible. You’re not Ye Xiu. The one who died wasn’t me!” a flaming spear stabbed out from behind Ye Xiu, instantly piercing Ye Xiu’s body.

nDark red blood spurted out.

nYe Xiu didn’t even have time to react. His face was still in disbelief as a flaming spear suddenly appeared behind him, instantly piercing through his body.

nWhen the spear pierced through his body, Ye Xiu’s body rapidly changed.

nIn an instant, it separated from its human body and turned into a giant Python. Its body, which was dozens of meters long, wrapped around the spear and twisted continuously.

nAs if sensing the Python’s counterattack, the pitch-black spear turned, and the burning flames instantly spread to the Python’s body, burning the tens of meters long Python into ashes!

nThe spear did not stop at all and suddenly fell.

nWhoosh!

nThe long spear trembled in the void and turned into a black spear light. It flashed with sharp and cold light and shot toward the scattered demon cultivators in the back hall.

nThe spear’s shadow filled the sky as it rapidly shuttled through the palace.

nBlood splattered everywhere, and more than half of the demonic cultivators were injured.

nIn the blink of an eye, the thousands of demonic cultivators fell one after another, and the dust that had just settled flew up again.

nCries of alarm and fear…

nThe quiet rear hall exploded with all kinds of screams and exclamations.

nThe beast cultivators who were lucky enough to escape the spear shadows scattered in all directions, extremely panicked.

nGu Mingzhou leaped out of the hall. His white shadow fluttered and his figure was like lightning. He instantly caught the falling spear!

nHe looked at the demonic cultivators who were running for their lives in a panic and a cold look flashed in his eyes. Vast Yuan power gushed out of his body and gathered in the spear in his hand.

nSwish!

nThe spear’s radiance illuminated the rear hall and shot out with terrifying power!
