This test was a close call

"Mr. Gu, how are you?"

The old man saluted.

"Hey, it's been a few months. Come in and have some tea."

Gu Heng invited the old man in, and Xiaobai served him tea, so the two of them could have a conversation.

"Mr. Gu, the place you chose... is really interesting."

The old man looked at the decoration in the yard and praised it.

Of course, he wasn't complimenting anything.

Because this deserted city and this ancient wilderness are extremely poor in every aspect, especially this deserted city. When the old man entered the city, he felt it was lifeless and had an indescribable depression in his heart.

Although the feeling is completely different after entering Gu Heng's yard, but...will I really not get depression if I live in this place for a long time?

But since Gu Heng chose to settle down here, he had no reason to care what Gu Heng thought. An ant like him should not try to guess what a master was thinking.

"This place is pretty good. You wouldn't know it if you didn't come here. It's completely different from what people say about it."

"But just leave it alone."

Gu Heng was too lazy to explain.

The environment here is really good, but the rumors outside are really spread by word of mouth, and they become more and more outrageous. It is very difficult to dispel them.

So he was too lazy to refute the rumor.

Anyway, he already has a yard and has established good relations with the big families in the deserted city, so he doesn't want to move anyway.

"Oh, I see. It seems that Master Gu has a deeper meaning. I am too stupid to understand it. Please forgive me."

How could the old man not understand this?

This deserted city must be very special, otherwise Gu Heng would never come here. However, his old pen can't figure it out, so there is no need to let him know what the mystery is here.

That's fine.

The old man knows clearly his position and identity.

He was already very satisfied to be a middleman for Mr. Gu to gather intelligence. Not only was he satisfied, but all the old buddies who were now being commanded by him were satisfied!

If nothing else, just for those immortal books given by Gu Heng, 99% of the practitioners in the world are willing to give their hearts to Master Gu!

He has grown up and experienced so many ups and downs. Now that he has the opportunity to wait for the immortal, he has become even calmer.

He took whatever Gu Heng gave him.

If it is not given to him, the old man will never think of snatching it.

It seems that he is not qualified to know the secret of this deserted city, so there is no need to ask.

"Mr. Gu, I've asked my old friends to investigate these days, and now we've figured it out!""The power behind the Blood Shadow Building is the Blood Soul Saint Sect!"

"I know."

Gu Heng curled his lips and said, "Your old friends are quite efficient. They found it out so quickly. I thought it would take you longer."

This was the matter he asked the old man to look into further before leaving Yunling City, after all, it was related to a temporary mission.

However, more than half a month ago, he accidentally ambushed and killed a group of practitioners from the Blood Soul Holy Sect.

Just torture him a few times and you'll find out.

Quick and easy.

However, we cannot say that the hard work of the old men is meaningless. After all, they did investigate it in a down-to-earth manner, and even if they do not receive any credit, they have worked hard.

Hearing him say it directly, the old man was stunned. They spent a lot of time and effort to find out this information, and they also encountered many dangers, but now it seems that Master Gu already knows it?

Sudden.

The old man was suddenly enlightened!

Of course he knew it a long time ago! He must be an immortal, how could he not know about this?

You can easily find out by just making a move.

This is a test.

Master Gu wanted to test their abilities, so he asked them to find out who was behind the Blood Shadow Building. If it took too long, or if they simply didn't find out...

Then he would be very disappointed, and the "chance" for himself and his old friends would be over!

Fortunately, they did this earlier than expected.

The performance satisfied Master Gu, so...

Did they pass the test?!

The old man became excited, his eyes shining: "I understand your kindness in cultivating me!"

Gu Heng waved his hand: "What kind of cultivation do you mean? Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

He was a little worried that the old man was about to explode. His words became incoherent all of a sudden, and it seemed like he was in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

The old man's face froze, and he said quickly: "Yes, old man, I am rude."

I spoke too quickly. How could I have just said something like this? There is a gap between immortals and mortals, so I can't be hasty.

"The Blood Shadow Building is no longer important. The main issue is the Blood Soul Saint Sect. They seem to be colluding with the demon race. Do you know about this?"

Gu Heng said.

"What?!"

The old man was shocked: "Collusion? I really don't know anything about this!""But I heard that the East Xinjiang Alliance recently discovered that in the Ancient Flower Mountains behind East Xinjiang, there are traces of activities by the Blood Soul Saint Sect monks. It seems that they are arranging a formation, a very evil formation..."

"Moreover, there were experts who deliberately led the East Xinjiang Alliance District to investigate that place..."

As he spoke, the old man's eyes slowly froze.

etc.

The Guhua Mountains seem to be less than a thousand miles away from here.

He traveled at full speed and arrived in half a day. If Master Gu were to travel faster, he could probably cross the space and arrive in an instant!

Could it be him?

"Ahem, stop staring at me like that. It's creepy."

Gu Heng felt awkward for some reason when he looked at him like that. Indeed, that was what he did, but the purpose of doing so was, of course, not to expose his existence.

He is too weak now.

If a weak practitioner is sucked into some whirlpools, he will definitely be smashed to pieces.

Although Gu Heng is now a "Nascent Soul Stage Practitioner", generally speaking, he still has to stay hidden as long as possible and not show off unless it is absolutely necessary.

"That Blood Soul Saint Sect is setting up that formation there. What do you think they are planning to do?"

Gu Heng continued.

"What…"

The old man frowned and stroked his beard: "The Blood Soul Holy Sect was a notorious evil sect in the past. Although it seems to have 'turned over a new leaf' now, in my opinion, their character will probably remain unchanged!"

"Most of those formations also involve blood sacrifices of living beings, and then the creation of evil creatures - wait!"

immediately.

The old man's expression was even uglier.

"But now, the East Frontier and the demon tribe are fighting one after another. Is the Blood Soul Saint Sect planning to set fire to the East Frontier Alliance behind the scenes and disrupt the battle in front?!"

"What do you think?"

Gu Heng sneered.

Those people are treacherous, of course they want to do this.

Because he had tortured the truth out of the practitioners of the Blood Soul Holy Sect!

The purpose of the Holy Blood Soul Sect is to support the attack of the demon clan from the rear and cause complete chaos in East Xinjiang!

The only problem is -

What is the motive of the Blood Soul Holy Sect?
