Chapter 1213 This place is already rotten.
Faced with Fei Boyuan's questioning, Gu Xiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head:
"I am not sure."
"Uncertain?" Fei Boyuan frowned, seemingly undecided. "Do you want to help me or stop me? What's there to be unsure about?"
Gu Xiu did not answer, but simply stared directly at him.
For some reason, being stared at like that, Fei Boyuan, who considered himself to have already reached the pinnacle of maturity, felt as if he had been completely seen through, and subconsciously wanted to avoid the gaze.
But he quickly realized what was going on and, without trying to hide it, looked directly at Gu Xiu: "The rumors are true, you are indeed from Sui Xu Chu?"
"Perhaps you could say that," Gu Xiu said.
Sui Xing is one of my people. Since Sui Xing is considered to be Sui Xu Chu, then by all accounts, I can also say that I am one of Sui Xu Chu's people.
What do you want to do at the beginning of the year?
"do not know."
"...And you? Although I only had a vague feeling that something was wrong before, I couldn't be sure, but now that I've seen you, I'm sure you've been following me all this way, but it seems you haven't made a clear decision yet."
"If I said I just came to take a look, broaden my horizons, and then see if I wanted to steal the Holy Light, or even stop you, what would you do?"
"I will kill you."
"You two can't kill me. The person who could kill me here is already dead."
These words, brimming with confidence to the point of arrogance, did not enrage Fei Boyuan. He merely glanced at the blood-red armor, now dead but still standing, and after a moment said:
"Come with me."
Li Changgong's eyes were full of worry: "My lord..."
Fei Boyuan shook his head: "It's alright. Young Master Gu's strength should have exceeded everyone's expectations. You can put the bow away."
Li Changgong glanced at Gu Xiu warily, but reluctantly put away his bow. He remained standing close to Fei Boyuan, ensuring that even if he couldn't react immediately if Gu Xiu made a sudden move, he could still shield Fei Boyuan from harm.
Fortunately, Gu Xiu did not make a move. In fact, after he sensed Li Changgong's apprehension, he did not get too close and always maintained a safe distance.
At least Li Changgong didn't know that Gu Xiu, who possessed the Sky-Stepping Boots, could easily reach Fei Boyuan in one step if he wanted to.
Even without using the Sky-Stepping Boots, his sword-wielding ability should be enough to secure a kill.
They can't stop them.
"You've chosen the right person to follow."
The three of them walked through the main hall, but not directly. Instead, they stopped and moved every few steps to ensure they hadn't stepped on the wrong brick. Only Fei Boyuan said:
"This Wuwei Hall is the most important place in Wuwei City. The most dangerous thing here is not the guardian, but the Mo family's divine mechanism set up here. If you don't know the situation and don't have any special tokens, even if you are strong, even if you have the legendary power of an immortal, you will be reduced to ashes here."
Gu Xiu agreed with this statement.
In fact, he had already sensed it when he was about to step into the main hall. Although there was still no formation here, there was a power that was no weaker than a formation. In his mind, the entire main hall was like a machine box, and every step he took could bring great danger.
It would indeed be difficult for him to pass in a short period of time.
And tell the truth.
Not only in this main hall, Gu Xiu also felt this sense of crisis from Fei Boyuan and Li Changgong, or rather, many of the divine beings in Wuwei City had given Gu Xiu this feeling.
They are just like ordinary mortals most of the time, but they all possess a power that makes people fear them.
Gu Xiu wasn't nervous at all, and even took the opportunity to ask Fei Boyuan, "What methods did you use to lure the evil demons into attacking the city?"
"A forbidden item."
"What is it?"
"The pollen of the Illusionary Light, mixed with the blood of the witch from Taiwei Enclosure and some other materials, is blended into a certain proportion to drive the evil demons mad, making them willing to endure the weakening of the holy light and move forward regardless."
Phantom pollen, witch blood...
Gu Xiu murmured to himself, then thought of Lü Dongshan's situation and decided to inquire about the Illusionary Light Butterfly. Unexpectedly, Fei Boyuan did not hesitate and directly tossed Gu Xiu a small box woven from rattan, telling him that there was a live, young Illusionary Light Butterfly inside.
Seeing him curiously examining the wooden box, Fei Boyuan finally couldn't help but say, "You're strange. I can never see through you. Every time I think I've figured you out, you always seem to have some new tricks up your sleeve."
"Perhaps it's because I cultivate spiritual energy, and you don't understand?"
"Although the path of spiritual energy is treacherous and has been abandoned, Ziwei Enclosure is not without experts on this path. What puzzles me is not your methods, but your purpose."
Fei Boyuan shook his head and gave him a deep look: "You don't seem to be from Tian Shi Yuan, nor do you seem to be any of the other spies from the Twelve Cities... You wouldn't happen to be from Hao Yu, would you?"
Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow, but before he could answer, Fei Boyuan shook his head again:
“But that’s impossible. Your strength isn’t enough to enter the Sea of Sin from the Vast Universe. You may be powerful, but I can sense that if I were to use the power of the Divine Path without regard for the consequences, you might die.”
Gu Xiu raised an eyebrow but didn't answer. He simply followed Fei Boyuan quietly, step by step, through the main hall of the Martial Might Hall, and then upstairs. The path was indeed full of traps and mechanisms; even with Gu Xiu's divine sense, if he were to rashly enter, he would find it difficult to predict the consequences of his next move.
However, Fei Boyuan was extremely familiar with this place, and although he was very careful along the way, everything went smoothly and no other problems arose.
The atmosphere was somewhat somber, with only the soft sound of footsteps and the clatter of wood on the wooden floor. They went up to the second floor, then the third, and finally the fourth.
From this height, one can see far into the distance.
The demon army was still charging into the city relentlessly. Except for the east gate, which was guarded by Duke Wuwei and had not yet been breached, the other three city gates had been breached. However, because of the presence of the Fifth Ring Army camp, they had not yet been able to penetrate into the Fourth Ring.
Moreover, the demon's strength seemed to be constantly weakening, and the city's defenses, which were initially in disarray, gradually became more organized.
Moreover, many of them were forces from a great distance, yet they still filled Gu Xiu with immense dread. That feeling was no less intense than when he faced a Supreme Being.
Look like this.
The war may end soon.
"Did you see those people on the Third Ring Road?" Fei Boyuan asked, standing next to Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu followed his gaze and saw that the Third Ring Road was in complete chaos. Everyone was extremely nervous and desperately trying to escape inside, but the city gates were already tightly closed, and they could not get in. They prayed to the people inside to open the gates while closing the city gates from the Fourth Ring Road to the Third Ring Road.
"Look again at what those people on the Second Ring Road are doing."
Gu Xiu looked around and found that the powerful and wealthy people in the Second Ring Road were quite calm. Most of them were very peaceful, and even continued to laugh and chat. The women were even pointing at the distant beacon fires and joking about it, as if the battle not far away had nothing to do with them.
This time, without Fei Boyuan's reminder, Gu Xiu looked at the Fourth Ring Road again.
But then I suddenly realized, who's left in the Fourth Ring Road?
Those impoverished slaves we saw earlier had already been used as a flesh and blood wall to resist the evil demons, constantly being sent to the battlefield like a meat grinder. They were just mortals, without cultivation, without power, and unable to resist the evil demons. The only thing they could do was to keep dying, using their corpses to build walls and disrupt the evil demons' offensive.
Regardless of age or gender, no one could escape the great calamity.
Several people tried to escape to the Third Ring Road, but the city gates were tightly closed. They kept knocking, but the gates didn't open. Instead, the people from the Third Ring Road stabbed them to death through the cracks in the gates.
This scene also occurred at the city gate between the Third Ring Road and the Second Ring Road.
Don't you think it's ugly?
Fei Boyuan said, his eyes filled with sarcasm:
"For those people in the Fifth Ring Road, they usually indulge in wine, women, prostitutes, and a smoky, chaotic atmosphere, but they still risk their lives. Now that the evil demon has arrived, they have to fight it, or they will die."
"For those people in the Fourth Ring Road, their fate was sealed from birth. They had no say in their own lives, let alone the power to fight back. Their existence was solely for the purpose of making the most of themselves. In times of peace, they were the tools that enabled the city to function, while in times of war, they were the bricks that formed the city walls."
"Those people in the Third Ring Road despise the Fourth Ring Road, yet they enjoy the resources it brings. They are just ordinary people, not much more noble than those in the Fourth Ring Road, yet they enjoy the fruits of their hard work in the Fourth Ring Road, and then despise those in the Fourth Ring Road for being lazy and idle."
"Everyone has their own place, which is determined from birth. Everyone is wrong, yet no one is right. They all stand in their own positions and do what they believe is right. But these things are heinous crimes compared to those below them."
"And they are all ugly."
At this point, Fei Boyuan glanced at Gu Xiu, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes:
"Wuwei City is rotten to the core, and the Three Walls are rotten to the core as well."
"A place like this should be destroyed, it should perish."
"He should die completely."
