Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 272 Uncle Bai's Scolding
"I will follow Elder Gu's orders!"
For a moment, all the people in the Soul-Devouring Sect bowed respectfully towards Gu Xiaoxing. No matter if they were familiar or unfamiliar, there was fanaticism in their eyes when they looked at Elder Gu. This was their Elder Gu, the Elder Gu who could kill a Nascent Soul!
Among them, the expressions of two people were the most complicated. One of them was Li Wenru. Her former junior brother Gu had grown to this point and became the pride of their Soul-Devouring Sect. The fantasy she once had was finally shattered at this moment. She was completely relieved and finally bowed deeply to Gu Xiaoxing.
The second one was Bai Xiangtian. The complexity in his eyes was even greater, and completely opposite to Li Wenru. At this moment, there was a trace of fantasy in his eyes. He didn't want to let it go, so he bowed deeply and said loudly: "My nephew will obey my uncle's order."
With Gu Xiaoxing's current strength and sharp spiritual awareness, he heard the voice immediately. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was Bai Xiangtian. A strange look appeared in his eyes, and finally he coughed dryly and disappeared on the spot.
Gu Xiaoxing appeared in the sect's mountains in one step and appeared next to Master Bai and Nanhe. He then breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, facing the infatuated eyes of so many female disciples of the sect, he was still a little nervous!
He waved his hand and released Xu Qianxing and Xiao Zhuhuo.
As soon as Xu Qianxing appeared, he rushed directly towards Gu Xiaoxing. She knew how thrilling the battle just now was, and even now she was still frightened.
Gu Xiaoxing was also feeling a little scared. This battle was the most difficult one he had ever fought. It was even more difficult than the battle with the Camel Mountain Giant, because he had no way to retreat in this battle.
If it weren't for sufficient preparations made in advance, some luck, and Diaotian's timely completion of the fusion, it can be said that if any of these points were missing, Gu Xiaoxing would undoubtedly have been defeated.
Even if he finally defeated Zhou Shoutai, but failed to kill him and let him escape, it would only be considered that Gu Xiaoxing lost!
Because there are so many things a Nascent Soul can do that Gu Xiaoxing can’t defend against at all!
Only by killing it could Gu Xiaoxing be the real winner, and he did it.
What Zhou Shoutai said before his death was not wrong, luck is on Gu Xiaoxing's side!
Rubbing Xu Qianxing's head gently to comfort him, and seeing Xiao Zhuhuo standing there at a loss with eyes full of envy, Gu Xiaoxing could only extend his other hand softly.
Xiao Zhuhuo immediately understood and moved his head closer to enjoy the touch of his uncle.
“Ahem…!”
Suddenly, the voice of Master Bai was heard.
The two women's bodies paused at the same time. Xu Qianxing was a shameless man, so he quickly broke free from their arms, stood next to Gu Xiaoxing, and bowed slightly to Master Bai.
Xiao Zhuhuo felt guilty, so she stood on the other side of Gu Xiaoxing and also bowed.
"Uncle Bai!" Gu Xiaoxing bowed.
Master Bai nodded. Although he looked pale, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. His eyes were filled with relief. He said, "It's time for our Soul Devouring Sect to appoint a new leader."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoxing was stunned.
However, the two women on the side reacted faster, and Xu Qianxing looked surprised.
Xiao Zhuhuo exclaimed directly, thinking that this was a good opportunity to flatter and get close to Master Uncle, so he hurriedly said: "Congratulations, Master Uncle, congratulations, Master Uncle... Ouch!"
Gu Xiaoxing's head exploded, and then she threw a storage bag over and said angrily: "A little girl like you has the right to interrupt the adults? Take these pills down quickly and distribute them to the injured brothers and sisters!"
“Oh...!” Xiao Zhuhuo covered his head, responded aggrievedly, took the storage bag and went downstairs.
Gu Xiaoxing rolled his eyes at Xiao Zhuhuo's back and thought to himself, how could he say such nonsense? With his intelligence, he naturally understood the meaning behind Master Bai's words, but he was unwilling to do so a thousand times, ten thousand times.
Gu Xiaoxing smiled awkwardly at Master Bai and waved his hands, saying, "Uh...! This... Uncle Bai, this is not possible! You have devoted all your efforts to the sect, so the position of the sect leader should belong to you. Xiaoxing has been out there for so many years, so it is really not suitable..."
"Hehe... uh, my chest hurts. Since Uncle Bai has nothing else to do, Xiaoxing will take his leave and go to heal his wounds..."
As Gu Xiaoxing said this, he was about to take Xu Qianxing and run away.
If you let him be an elder and show off his power occasionally, it's fine, but asking him to be the leader of a sect would be a bit difficult for him. He would feel uncomfortable when he thought about having to pretend to be serious all the time.
It’s not that Gu Xiaoxing doesn’t like to show off, on the contrary, he likes it. But showing off is enough once in a while. Long-term showing off is not power, that is responsibility and commitment. Gu Xiaoxing feels tired just thinking about it, so forget it.
"stop!"
Master Bai frowned and scolded directly.
Now, in the entire Soul-Devouring Sect, perhaps only Bai Zhenren dared to speak to Gu Xiaoxing like this, but Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to listen. He regarded Bai Zhenren as his elder, and no matter how strong his cultivation was, the awe in his heart always existed.
So facing Master Bai's rebuke, Gu Xiaoxing had no choice but to stop in disappointment.
Xu Qianxing was secretly amazed. She had always thought that Gu Xiaoxing was a fearless person, but she didn't expect that there was someone who could make Xiaoxing obey discipline.
When Master Bai saw Gu Xiaoxing stop and walk back angrily, his frown finally relaxed and he said earnestly, "Xiaoxing, the Soul Devouring Sect has just experienced turmoil, and urgently needs a reassurance pill to stabilize everyone's hearts..."
"Aren't you the Soul-Devouring Sect's reassurance?" Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but mutter.
This immediately made Master Bai glare at him and said, "I can stabilize the sect, but can I stabilize the outside? You went to destroy the Body Refining Sect without making any noise, but have you ever thought about how the Soul Devouring Sect will gain a foothold in the Small Wasteland in the future?"
When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, he immediately became unhappy and wanted to refute, but Master Bai's voice came again.
"And who was it that pretended to be Bai Xiangtian and robbed people in Foundation Building Mountain last time, causing public outrage and leading to the siege of our Soul Devouring Sect?"
Cold sweat gradually broke out on Gu Xiaoxing's forehead and he could no longer refute. Although Zhou Shoutai had framed him in the beginning, he, Gu Xiaoxing, was also the mastermind.
"At this point, the Qiqiao Sect and the Lianti Sect have both been destroyed. The people of the entire wasteland must be in a state of panic. There will be a lot of fear, but there will be more hostility. If there is no one with enough deterrent power to lead the sect, how do you think those people outside will view my Soul Devouring Sect?"
Gu Xiaoxing broke out in a cold sweat even more. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't find a reason.
Master Bai glanced at him and continued, "Thinking back to when I found you in the Menghuai Mountains..."
"Don't say anything, I agree." Gu Xiaoxing was speechless. He always thought that Uncle Bai was an open-minded person, but it turned out that he also liked to settle old scores.
There was no need . He admitted that he was in the wrong, and seeing that Uncle Bai had no intention of letting him go, Gu Xiaoxing simply admitted it.
