Chapter 865: Chapter 713: The Human Heart is Hard to Fathom

"Xuan He, he..."

Bi Yuan, who was observing the situation from afar through the formation, saw Xuan He directly attacking Gu Jinlai with brute force and immediately changed his expression, angrily saying, "Didn’t he say he would act with discretion?"

"This is the best and most efficient way."

A mechanic who came along with Xuan He said, "We don’t have so much time to carefully distinguish and test one by one."

After speaking, he glanced at Bi Yuan, "Sect Leader Bi Yuan, rest assured, everything is under the control of Sect Master Xuan He."

Bi Yuan’s face was sullen but he looked at Sect Master Mu Wuying, obviously waiting for his explanation.

"If Gu Jinlai really has no suspicious points, afterward, our Immortal Shadow Association will give him priority compensation, even providing him with resources to cultivate to the Second Rank, and even Third Rank, and I will use my nomination quota to recommend him for advanced studies in the All World Alliance."

Mu Wuying said, "I believe he will understand our well-intentioned motive."

Bi Yuan was silent for a moment, facing the joint decision of the Sect Leader and Deputy Sect Leader Xuan He, he ultimately had no strength to refute.

Geniuses naturally have the pride of geniuses.

To win over a supreme genius, sincerity is necessary.

But Xuan He, Mu Wuying, and others clearly did not think this way.

Although they valued talent, they valued the safety of the Immortal Shadow Association even more.

Before confirming the true identity of Gu Jinlai as friend or foe, and the safety of the Immortal Shadow Association, all geniuses and opportunities must take a backseat.

Moreover...

Only when talents grow can they have the hope of becoming giants in the future, and before they become giants and overlords, they must abide by the rules set by these pioneers of the cultivation world.

Just like those who rely on seniority, no matter how great the achievements of the younger generations, becoming County Masters or City Lords, they must still maintain utmost respect in their presence, otherwise, it shows they don’t understand the rules.

Mu Wuying calmly waited.

He wanted to see how Gu Jinlai would respond.

Whether he would be helplessly and unwillingly captured by Xuan He or mistakenly think he was in danger and directly unleash his trump card, rushing into the trap they had prepared.

"Huh!? Wait!?"

At this moment, Mu Wuying seemed to sense something, suddenly opening his eyes wide: "Impossible!"

The next moment, his incarnation trembled violently: "No good! Quickly! Bi Yuan, hold him off! I will execute the contingency plan to seal off the signal from the Immortal True Spirit in this area, I will be there shortly!"

As he exclaimed, so did Xuan He, who was striking at Gu Jinlai, also exclaiming, "Impossible!"

...

"Buzz buzz!"

In the midst of an invisible ripple, the Soul Secret Technique, which Xuan He wielded like a meteoric strike, was completely shattered by a brilliant starlight.

Amidst the starlight, Gu Jinlai, leveraging gravity, soared into the sky.

"Since you are unwilling to accept my joining, just say it outright, why resort to such methods of probing."

Gu Jinlai said condescendingly.

"Your strength..."

Xuan He’s expression changed, and his eyes sparkled immediately after: "This is your true strength!? Such strength of spirit, Third Rank... A Third-Rank Golden Immortal actually infiltrated our Immortal Shadow Association!? We’ve caught a big fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand fiercely.

Instantly, streams of flowing light intertwined, forming a brilliant golden light as if to enshroud the entire harbor city.

Behind him, several Level 9 Reformers, as well as high-level mechanics who had long been prepared in the underground base, appeared simultaneously, their divine sense abilities erupting as they activated their respective mechas’ reactors, quickly surrounding Gu Jinlai.

"Big fish."

Gu Jinlai shook his head.

He thought of an old saying from Blue Star.

When they view you with the eyes of an enemy, no matter what you do, it appears suspicious, hateful, and repugnant.

In that case...

His figure continued to ascend, charging towards the golden light that enveloped the entire harbor city.

"Block him!"

Xuan He shouted, at the same time, part of his divine sense once again transformed into a Soul Secret Technique aimed at Gu Jinlai, while another part landed directly onto Bi Yuan: "Do you see? A Third-Rank Golden Immortal, yet hiding his identity and cultivation lurking in our Immortal Shadow Association, doesn’t this prove his ill-intentions!? Hurry and assist me in entangling him, waiting for the Sect Leader’s arrival!"

A flash of fervor passed through his eyes: "If we can deliver such a big fish to the All World Alliance... perhaps we could all gain qualifications to study in the All World Alliance..."

Bi Yuan’s expression was complicated.

At this moment, he too didn’t know how to explain it.

Even if Gu Jinlai claimed to have previously possessed Peak Human Dao strength, it still wouldn’t make sense.

A month, to complete the transformation from old techniques to new techniques!?

One must know that the techniques involved cannot be described with words, talent, or comprehension.

It’s like an experienced driver from another country, not understanding the traffic laws of this country, and with vastly different conversational laws and driving habits between the two countries, suddenly starts speeding without flaw here? fre ewe bnove l.com

Who would believe he had never been to this country, nor had any relation with it?

Thinking of this, despite still harboring many unanswered questions, at this moment he could only respond to Xuan He, first acting to trap Gu Jinlai and discuss it later.

Wait for the Sect Leader, capture him, if he can explain clearly, then proceed with the next steps of handling.

With this in mind, he manipulated the formation that enveloped the entire harbor city, and dozens of golden lights seemed alive, forming chains, sweeping towards him, seemingly to bind him within.

Seeing this scene, Gu Jinlai withdrew his gaze from Bi Yuan.

"Enough." fr\eewebno vel .c(o)m

He is different from others.

Relying on Qingguang, he leapt across what others would struggle for thousands of years to achieve, so it’s only natural for others to harbor suspicions.

However, the current situation is ultimately different from the times of the Holy Dynasty.

When first entering the Holy Dynasty, there were countless Martial Kings like him, perhaps tens of thousands.

His entry was akin to a fish swimming into the sea, unlikely to draw significant attention.

But in the Profound Immortal Realm, at the Golden Immortal level, combining the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty and the Resistance Army, the numbers don’t even reach a thousand.

Under such circumstances, a suddenly appearing Great Dao Golden Immortal stands out conspicuously.

Ultimately, he was too powerful.

So strong that no one dared to slacken their guard against him.

So strong that before gaining complete trust, any unusual move might provoke an overreaction from the Immortal Shadow Association. .com

Such a small pond as the Immortal Shadow Association cannot accommodate a big fish.

However, he did not begrudge anything.

Everyone has their own thoughts, and the limited perspective of the Immortal Shadow Association is simply because it’s not yet the time for them to display magnanimity; facing a small force like the Xuanhuang Immortal Dynasty, they can’t handle any disturbance.

With this thought in mind, the starlight behind Gu Jinlai grew increasingly brilliant.

Facing the golden light sweeping continuously from the sky dome, those dazzling starlights began to spin rapidly like satellites surrounding his body, carrying radiant splendor, directly colliding with the golden chains.

Amid the intense clashes, the golden chains scattered in disarray.

The ripples of Divine Sense Ability swept vast across the void.

Simultaneously, the rapidly spinning starlight also frantically descended, most colliding with the mountain secret technique formed by Xuan He, while the rest struck at the airborne Reformer, Mechanic.

In the instant each person was pierced by the starlight, they felt their mind violently shaken, as if torn apart.

Amid the painful cries of some Seventh and Eighth Level Mechanics, Reformers, these figures soaring into the void fell one after another.

Considering the cultivation technique and assistance given by Bi Yuan and Pang Yuan, he did not deal a lethal blow to these attackers.

"Starlight Rotation Technique!?"

This scene made Bi Yuan, who personally handed over the Star Map to Gu Jinlai, widen his eyes involuntarily.

This is the secret technique coupled with the Star Map!

An astounding guess suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that...

Gu Jinlai really used only one month to complete the transition from old techniques to new methods and thoroughly mastered the Star Map!?

But how could that be possible!?

This is too terrifying.

How could such a genius exist in this world!?

With one strike, he shattered this defense base, and Gu Jinlai’s figure soared once more.

Within him, the Great Sun Core began to operate under the stimulation of Divine Sense Ability.

With this operation, he immediately realized the difference between Golden Immortal Third Rank and Human Dao Peak.

The total amount of Divine Sense Ability hardly changed, but the transformation in its application made the power the Great Sun Core could unleash increase geometrically.

Previously, at the Human Dao Peak state, his Divine Sense Ability was merely used to increase the power of the Great Sun Core; the higher the power, the higher the output.

Now, as a Third-Rank Golden Immortal, his Divine Sense is primarily used to counteract the devouring force’s impact on the Great Sun Core, allowing it to better release its output power.

One was forceful resistance; the other was evasive operation.

The efficiency between the two is naturally incomparable.

A strong, brilliant light burst forth from Gu Jinlai’s body, as radiant as the sun.

The energy intensity released at that moment made Xuan He, who planned to rely on his Reformer physique, suddenly halt and astonishment filled his eyes.

"Such energy power..."

And just at his shocked reaction, Gu Jinlai’s speed suddenly surged several times, breaking through the defense enveloping the port city under the starlight’s encirclement, disappearing into the horizon.

It was only seconds after Gu Jinlai disappeared that Xuan He furiously waved his hand, "Damn! A big fish! This is definitely a big fish!"

This Vice Chairman of the Immortal Shadow Association was filled with unwillingness, "His efficiency in utilizing nuclear energy definitely reached the peak extreme; he might even be close to touching annihilation energy! If we could capture such a big fish and hand him over to the All World Alliance, their nuclear fusion energy research would not only step onto a new level, but they might even manage to grasp the annihilation energy, solely controlled by the Imperial Family!"

Bi Yuan, however, stood watching the direction in which Gu Jinlai vanished, speechless for a long time.

At this moment, he couldn’t quite distinguish whether Gu Jinlai was indeed a Reformer or... truly that so-called Innate Sacred?

Before long, a ray of light swiftly approached the horizon’s edge.

Sect Leader Mu Wuying had arrived.

Unfortunately, he was already too late.

Xuan He stepped forward and quickly exchanged words with Mu Wuying.

Mu Wuying listened, regret surfacing in his eyes, "We underestimated him too much, thinking he was merely a First-Rank Golden Immortal who had just grasped the new technique. Unexpectedly, he had hidden so deeply... Had we known, we should have united with other nearby Sect Leaders, set up formations before acting..."

Xuan He also showed an expression of having missed a tremendous opportunity.

Bi Yuan, listening to their words, remained silent.

The matters regarding Gu Jinlai... truly defied explanation.

Seeing this, Mu Wuying could only say, "Now that it has come to this, let’s retreat quickly; this place is already exposed, making it unsafe."
