"Go on then?"
Upon hearing those two words, Ye Ming was somewhat taken aback.
Did Gu Taiyi believe he was bound to die?
Ye Ming could only shake his head helplessly at this thought.
However, this immortal array did confirm that the person behind Gu Taiyi was undoubtedly an immortal cultivator.
Therefore, Ye Ming did not come away entirely empty-handed.
Yet, in terms of the outcome, Ye Ming was ultimately somewhat disappointed.
"Chairman Gu! Disperse the formation! It's useless to me!"
Ye Ming said lightly as he watched Gu Taiyi about to complete his hand seals.
Hearing this, Gu Taiyi's movements froze for a moment. But then, he continued to form seals.
At this moment, several beams of white light rose from the four corners of Tai Xuan Lake, enshrouding it entirely. And above Ye Ming, many strange runes appeared.
Mysterious and unfathomable! Carrying an ancient aura.
The immortal array was complete!
"Young friend Ye! Take care!"
With that, Gu Taiyi retreated to the edge of Tai Xuan Lake, watching Ye Ming.
Due to the formation, the helicopters above Tai Xuan Lake could no longer capture the scene. Therefore, the netizens watching from their screens could only see a picture enveloped in white light.
"What… what's going on? Why can't we see anymore!"
"What's happening! Is this some ultimate technique Chairman Gu is using!"
"It must be! Didn't you see Chairman Gu forming seals earlier!"
"If that's the case, this old demon Ye should perish this time."
"Alas! He's too young after all!"
"Indeed! What a pity!"
"..."
Seeing this, the vast majority believed that Ye Ming was truly finished.
At this moment, Nangong Qianyu and the others couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Will Ye Ming be alright!"
Nangong Qianyu looked at Tai Xuan Lake, enveloped in white light, her heart pounding. She clenched her fists tightly, her delicate face somewhat pale.
"Qianyu! Don't worry! Brother Ming is so powerful! He can't possibly lose." Although Yan Yinluo spoke words of comfort, her own expression was also quite grim.
As for Du Yuemian and Ji Hongying, the two women clasped their hands together as if praying.
Ying Qianshi, who was guarding them, quickly encouraged them, "Please rest assured, my esteemed consorts! The Divine Master's strength is beyond mortal comprehension! Someone like Gu Taiyi cannot harm him in the slightest!"
Among them, Ying Qianshi was the most composed.
In his heart, Ye Ming was no different from a true deity.
So!
Would a god…
Lose?
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qianyu and the others felt slightly relieved.
Yet, the worry in their hearts was still evident on their faces.
...
In a room several miles away from Tai Xuan Lake, a middle-aged man paced back and forth, seemingly waiting anxiously for something.
"Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
He muttered.
But just as he finished speaking, a ball of black gas suddenly appeared before him.
If Ye Ming were present, he would undoubtedly recognize the familiar "ominous" energy emanating from this gas.
As the black gas dissipated, three figures wearing faceless masks emerged. A chilling aura emanated from each of them.
It was quite eerie!
"Greetings to the three Immortal Envoys!"
Upon seeing them, the middle-aged man immediately knelt to welcome them.
At this moment, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
He seemed terrified.
"The plan has changed! We need to make a move!"
Among the three masked figures, the burly man at the front seemed to be the leader. The other two remained silent.
"The plan has changed?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was greatly shocked.
"Listen carefully! Go back and continue to monitor Gu Taiyi's every move. If there is any anomaly, you must report it to us immediately!"
The burly man said coldly.
"Yes! This subordinate obeys!"
The middle-aged man replied fearfully, not daring to look up.
"Go!"
After the middle-aged man left, the three figures turned their gaze towards Tai Xuan Lake.
"Boss! Is the higher-up concerned about Gu Taiyi's loyalty?"
At this moment, a man with a bow and arrow slung across his back asked beside the burly man.
"Mm! We are ultimately not of the same kind as him, so we must remain vigilant!" The burly man said grimly. "Although his strength is not much, his position in the secular world is irreplaceable! As long as he obeys our orders, it will save us a lot of trouble!"
"But Boss! In my opinion, that young man should be more suitable for us than Gu Taiyi!" The man on his right, holding a long sword, said. "Before, the young man's influence was not inferior to Gu Taiyi's. And he is clearly of the same kind as us, why not..."
His intended meaning was clear.
"If you can see this, don't the people above know it?"
The burly man glanced at him and said lightly, "I asked at the beginning too, but the higher-ups only answered me with four words!"
"Four words?"
The other two exchanged glances, both showing their confusion.
"Difficult to control!"
This was the answer the burly man gave.
Hearing this, the other two could understand.
"Alright! We don't have much time!"
The burly man leaped into the air, floating and saying, "This time, the higher-ups underestimated the young man! The Absolute Origin Immortal Array cannot kill him."
Seeing the previous battle footage, Ye Ming's information was inadvertently revealed even more.
"Therefore! Our target this time is to… kill that young man!"
...
Returning to the center of Tai Xuan Lake, Ye Ming looked at the great formation above his head and shook his head helplessly.
At this point, he could only act to destroy the formation.
"Hmm?"
But just as Ye Ming was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed three strange auras approaching him.
"This is… an immortal cultivator!"
Although the aura was strange, it was still the aura of the immortal path.
"Good! Good!"
Sensing this, Ye Ming suddenly felt an urge to burst out laughing.
Finally! He had finally encountered an immortal cultivator other than himself and his own people.
No one knew how long he had waited for this moment, how long he had searched.
"Excellent! Hahaha!"
In the end, Ye Ming couldn't help but laugh heartily.
His excitement…
No one could comprehend.
And at this moment, Gu Taiyi, at the edge of the great formation, heard the laughter and was suddenly bewildered.
"What's wrong?"
With his abilities, he naturally could not sense the approaching auras.
"Has he gone mad!"
Gu Taiyi tried to move closer to observe, but was immediately met with a stern shout.
"Don't come any closer! If you don't want to die! Leave here quickly!"
This was Ye Ming's voice.
At the same time, it was a subtle way of protecting Gu Taiyi.
It was obvious that those immortal cultivators were coming for him. Even he himself could not predict what would happen next.
"This…"
Just as Gu Taiyi was filled with confusion, his body instantly stiffened. Beads of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. His pupils contracted, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
Death!
He felt the aura of death.
"They're here!"
