Escape!

That was the only thought in Bai Zesheng's mind!

The power of the Wine God Seat enveloped him and the surrounding space. The wind and snow in front of him suddenly intensified. He broke through a void and arrived at an unfamiliar snowfield... Although he had a certain grasp of the "Mausoleum Rules" and could teleport people away, Bai Zesheng could not precisely control the landing point of the teleportation.

After the appearance of the Golden Gate, all their channels of mental connection with the God Seats had failed.

This was an unexpected change.

Logically speaking, the God Seats should be able to hear them just by offering their thoughts.

It was one thing that he himself could not contact the Wine God Seat.

Even Mr. Jin had lost contact with the God Seat. Clearly, there was an unforeseen problem within the Mausoleum.

However... after entering the Mausoleum, he could still sense the existence of the Wine God's power.

The transcendent blessed by the Wine God could resonate with it in the dark. Even a slight resonance was enough.

A wisp of divine favor could bring immense confidence.

The wondrous realm within the Mausoleum was fused with a part of the Wine God's power and exuded the will rules of a high position, which was enough to show that the Wine God Seat was safely within the Mausoleum at this moment.

There must be a reason why he hadn't appeared!

So everything proceeded according to plan.

Mr. Jin was responsible for following Bai Zesheng and assassinating Bai Su.

And Xu Yan... was to carry out the elimination mission on the death list.

"Cough..."

Bai Zesheng staggered as he walked.

He stepped on a pool of blood. He paused slightly, realizing that he had stepped on a severed arm. The arm was burning with fierce flames, and the flesh emitted a fishy, rusty odor.

For some reason.

Bai Zesheng found it somewhat familiar.

He blankly raised his gaze and found that the snowfield was not clean. Pools of blood clung to the snow layer, slowly burning... and in the mist of the snowfield, a young figure sat cross-legged.

He looked up at that young figure.

The young figure also looked at him.

The storm suddenly intensified. The young figure slowly stood up, holding a shattered head in his hand. At that moment, Bai Zesheng saw the blurred face of that head.

Xu Yan... it was Xu Yan!

Bai Zesheng realized that he had gone to the wrong place.

In the wind and snow, a familiar figure with a calm expression walked out.

"Gu... Gu Shen?"

Bai Zesheng's expression was unsightly. He couldn't believe his eyes.

The old man uttered the young man's name with a trembling voice, trying to regain his composure.

What was going on with this teleportation will...

Was he randomly teleported away?

He had just escaped the tiger's den, only to enter the wolf's lair?!

How did this young man surnamed Gu seem even more powerful than Bai Su... Thousands of strands of golden light enveloped him, each containing immense power, making one feel apprehensive.

Had the Qingqiu Cemetery's extinction array been revived and used by him?!

"Mm."

Gu Shen slowly exhaled a long breath and gently hummed.

He nodded slightly.

Consider it a meeting.

The Five Great Families had always been "families of etiquette." Meetings and farewells would be marked with etiquette. Gu Shen looked down at the old man in front of him and did not forget the customs that the Bai Clan valued, but there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

He had just finished cleansing Xu Yan's mind.

In the memories bundled with that list, there was a scene of Bai Clan's Second Elder Bai Zesheng kneeling in the Wine God's small courtyard in Snow Forbidden City... This scene contained a great deal of information. Also appearing with Bai Zesheng were Zhu Wanghan Dang from the Tribunal and Gu Lushen.

Gathering this information from Xu Yan's mental sea was enough to find out the truth about the changes in the Mausoleum!

Gu Shen was still racking his brains about how to act next.

Unexpectedly.

A "lucky one" had delivered himself to his door.

There wasn't much information in Xu Yan's mental sea, but it was enough to deduce these people's plans... Bai Zesheng, as the Bai Clan's mole, had planned the Tundra assassination a year ago. Now he was determined to completely kill Bai Su within the Mausoleum.

However.

Judging from his injuries and the way he looked when he saw him, this plan had already failed.

He possessed the "divine power" of the Wine God Seat, but he was still killed by Bai Su?

"Little Friend Gu..."

Bai Zesheng's voice was hoarse, and he tried to force a smile. "It's really fate that we can meet here... This old man still has things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

He wanted to leave in a hurry.

But a voice stopped him.

"Elder Bai, you're already here."

Gu Shen said softly, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Bai Zesheng's body stiffened. He slowly turned around and smiled. "What do you mean, Little Friend Gu?"

Gu Shen no longer spoke.

He just looked at Bai Zesheng calmly.

The brief silence caused the atmosphere on the snowfield to fall to freezing point.

Similarly, when Bai Su used the "Breath of Spring," it was enveloped in a snow-white glow, while when Gu Shen used it, it was surrounded by black air, like an evil dragon in an icy pool.

A large shadow enveloped Bai Zesheng's heart.

After a fierce ideological struggle—

He decided to attack!

The old man suddenly raised his head and waved his hand at an extremely fast speed, throwing the compass seal item into the sky and detonating it with all his might!

A firework exploded in the sky above the snowfield!

This firework... was not just as fiery as it looked. This was a seal item that had been refined by the Bai Clan's sect with transcendent means. It contained a wisp of faint bloodline induction. After it exploded, the Bai Clan's transcendents within a few miles, or even dozens of miles, would be able to sense the anomaly!

Even if this place was a disaster zone, it would be no exception.

In other words, Bai Zesheng was going all out... Encountering Gu Shen had created a great sense of foreboding in his heart. At this moment, he only wanted to attract the Bai Clan's transcendents. As long as it wasn't Bai Su!

No one knew what he had done in the snow cave.

First, he would reunite with the Bai Clan's scattered transcendents and gain their trust. Then, there would be a chance to turn the tables!

He made the most correct decision.

It was a pity.

He met Gu Shen.

Facing this old man in his sixties, Gu Shen was different from Bai Su... He had no mercy. The moment the compass seal item was thrown out, Gu Shen began to act.

The compass exploded.

Bai Zesheng suddenly turned around, wanting to escape, and then he saw a ghostly young face.

Gu Shen threw a punch.

The old man roared and no longer hid his "Wine God Seat's divine power"... For some reason, the thick and majestic divine power that he could sense outside Snow Forbidden City had gradually become thinner after entering the Mausoleum.

After accepting the Wine God Seat's gift, he had become dependent on fighting with divine power.

And the extent to which divine power protected him had diminished.

Naturally, his strength had also become weaker.

The two fists collided... Gu Shen's expression did not change at all. He had previously relied on the Qingqiu Cemetery's array to kill the Apostle Xu Yan at his peak. At this moment, facing Bai Zesheng, who only had a trace of divine gift, he directly crushed him head-on!

With a "bang."

A roar that was even more ear-piercing than the explosion of the compass seal item.

Bai Zesheng spat out a large mouthful of blood and flew out, smashing three or four large rocks protruding from the ground before barely stopping his fall. With just one blow, dozens of his bones were broken.

However, the old man did not stop his thoughts of running away.

He flew out backwards, smashed the rocks, and then used all his strength to run towards the distance.

Bai Zesheng seemed to be able to see familiar figures appearing in the snow mist in the distance... That seemed to be the Bai Clan's transcendent squad that had set off with him earlier. After sensing the bloodline aura of the compass seal item, they were rushing in his direction.

This was... hope!

The old man desperately rushed towards the other end of the snow mist!

Gu Shen's expression was cold. He attacked again, and with a tap of his finger, a wisp of blazing fire shot out at an extremely fast speed, like a blood python, biting Bai Zesheng's wrist.

"Ah..."

Intense pain, like a drill!

Bai Zesheng gritted his teeth.

He looked at the scarlet fire line that had wrapped around his wrist, stretched taut, extending nearly a hundred meters, as if at any moment it would burst out with immense pulling force and drag him back to the side of that demonic young man!

"Chī!"

The scorching heat directly pierced through Bai Zesheng's wrist, drilling out a blood hole and biting down tightly!

The old man let out a sharp, painful howl.

His eyes were red, and with a single hand chop, he directly slashed towards his wrist!

"Pū..."

Gu Shen narrowed his eyes.

The blazing fire dragged back a section of severed hand.

And the white-robed old man ran towards the other side of the snow mist. It could be vaguely seen... thousands of meters away, there was a transcendent team of considerable size, rushing towards this place at an extremely fast speed.

With the blessing of the Qingqiu Cemetery's array, Gu Shen's sensing range had become extremely large.

In this disaster zone, others could only rely on their eyesight.

But he... could release his mental power!

Gu Shen saw that there were several familiar faces in that transcendent squad. They were all young people from the Bai Clan's sect, and the leader was Bai Lu.

……

……

"It's the sect's seal item!"

"Faster, even faster!"

These Bai Clan transcendents had no idea what was going on... After entering the snow cave, they inexplicably triggered the Mausoleum's teleportation rules. Before they even had time to observe Bai Su's feat of comprehending the Fire Seed Dream, they were teleported away and came to this vast snowfield with an unknown direction.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the sect's bloodline seal item, they had obtained an exact landmark location!

Bai Lu's expression was solemn as she led the clansmen towards the end of the snow mist indicated by the seal item.

Everyone had taken out their seal items... Across the thousands of meters of rolling snow tide, they could vaguely see an unkempt old man covered in blood struggling to rush towards them.

"It's... Second Elder!"

"Second Elder has been attacked!"

The transcendent team instantly boiled over, and everyone quickened their pace.

Just as the two sides were only about five hundred meters away... a black-clothed figure descended from the sky.

Gu Shen stepped on Bai Zesheng's shoulder with one foot. Thousands of strands of golden array patterns turned into streams of light, condensed into a great sun, and the weight of ten thousand jun directly crushed this withered old body.

"Wā!"

Bai Zesheng's expression was pale. He was stepped on so heavily that he fell to the ground. He used one hand to forcefully cover the severed wrist. The blazing fire, along with the power of the Qingqiu array patterns, was burning the scarlet cross-section, and the blood was almost dried up.

Even on Bai Su, he had not felt such a terrifying sense of oppression.

This young man was like a demon!

In an instant!

He knelt on the ground. The powerful inertia pushed him forward, and his knees slid across the snow for dozens of meters, and his kneecaps were flattened and cut off.

The old man's expression was twisted. At this moment, the expression on his face could not be described with just the word pain.

"Save me!"

"Save me!!"

He roared with all his might, spreading out in the snow tide.

On the other side, Bai Lu and the others were completely shocked by the scene of the great sun descending.

"Gu Shen?!"

The Bai Family's demoness was stunned. Before she could speak.

Under the illumination of the blazing sun, Gu Shen raised his hand. In his palm, countless iron elements converged into a storm.

The iron armor he brought from the ancient tomb re-formed and turned into an iron sword.

A sword strike!

The snow tide collapsed, and the falling dead snow solidified for a few seconds under the agitation of this sword.

Bai Zesheng knelt on the ground, his body was directly cut in half, and that wisp of spirit was completely swept and destroyed by the blazing fire attached to the sword body of the iron sword.

Death.

……

……

After the snow tide stagnated for a few seconds, a strong wind blew, and the charming snow continued to rise in this wasteland.

However, at this moment, there was a bit more blood in the snow.

There was also a bit more hostility.

The Bai Clan's transcendent squad put on a fighting stance... Everyone had witnessed the scene of Gu Shen killing Bai Zesheng. They were immersed in the grief of the Second Elder's death, and this grief further stimulated their anger and fighting spirit!

Gu Shen looked at this scene calmly.

Looking at the Bai Clan's transcendent team, which was facing a formidable enemy, he had no intention of continuing to fight.

He released his palm.

The iron sword dissipated, turned into a stream of light, and re-melted into close-fitting armor.

The Qingqiu Cemetery's array patterns no longer presented a hugging posture like a great sun.

"...Don't attack!"

Bai Lu was the only calm person.

She stood up and came to the very center of the snow tide, looking at Bai Zesheng's miserable withered body. Although there was unbearable pain in her eyes, she quickly regained her composure.

Bai Lu slowly said: "Brother Gu... what's going on?"

Gu Shen looked at the corpse on the ground and the splashed blood.

Not far away, behind him, there was another corpse... Xu Yan's corpse.

"In fact, the truth of the matter is very simple... The so-called Bai Clan's Second Elder whom I killed has already betrayed the Bai Clan and Nagano." Gu Shen looked around, looking at the unwavering eyes of those people, and said jokingly: "It's just that this simple truth depends on who says it. Obviously, it is not convincing for me to say this."

Those transcendents did not let go of the weapons in their hands.

"Miss Bai, if you don't want to reason, if a real fight breaks out... in this mausoleum, even if you all go together, you are not my opponent."

Gu Shen said calmly.

Bai Lu had a headache.

What gave her a headache was not the so-called truth... She had vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the Second Elder before. She was willing to believe what Gu Shen said and was even more willing to see what kind of evidence Gu Shen could produce.

It's just that those people may not be willing.

Killing the Bai Clan's Second Elder in front of the Bai Clan!

This was a blood feud!

What really gave people a headache was... Bai Lu knew that what Gu Shen said earlier was not an exaggeration. These golden lights seemed to be the array patterns in the mausoleum. If she guessed correctly, the Tomb Keeper Master had handed over the control of the Qingqiu Great Array to Gu Shen! If a real fight broke out, her group would not be Gu Shen's opponent at all!

On the other side of the snow tide, in the Bai Clan's team.

"That's ridiculous!"

Someone asked loudly: "How could Second Elder be a traitor?"

Because they were teleported once in the mausoleum, these transcendents found the Bai Clan's team on their way forward. This team was even stronger than before.

The voices of discussion grew louder and louder.

In the wind and snow, the aura of the seal item gradually appeared.

And finally.

A light voice rang out in the distance of the wind and snow.

"He is indeed a traitor."

The Bai Clan's transcendents were very familiar with this voice. They looked blankly at Bai Su, who walked out of the snow mist.

Bai Su looked at the corpse on the ground.

His expression was complicated. After a moment of silence, he actually saluted Gu Shen.

"Thank you, Brother Gu... for settling him for me."
