Above all spirits

Chapter 317 Eve

Time passes little by little.

at last.

When the fourth hour had passed, Gu Yun noticed that the two guards at the door were showing signs of fatigue.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps echoed from inside the door.

"Gu boy, is it finally time for your shift to change?"

The small dark figure patted Gu Yun on the back of the head.

Gu Yun did not reply, but expressed her thoughts through her actions.

His eyes shone with a purple halo.

The purplish-gold innate energy flowed over a patch of shadow that blended into the tree's shade, like ripples on the surface of water.

"Click."

The palace door opens.

Sure enough, two half-step Xiantian level cultivators in the same uniform arrived.

Two more half-step Innate Realm cultivators have appeared. Just in the outer perimeter, there are already multiple peak Saint Body cultivators and four half-step Innate Realm cultivators.

Who knows what kind of demons and monsters might be on the third floor now?

Of course.

Gu Yun is most skilled at exorcising demons.

Just as the shifts were changing, the four pseudo-innate beings locked eyes.

A black shadow suddenly shot up from the shade of the trees, forming a long black line in a fleeting moment under the light.

It's like those horizontal stripes that appear when the signal is temporarily weak during a television broadcast.

It flashed by.

It immediately blended into the shadows of the gap under the palace gate.

One of the half-step Xiantian cultivators, who was coming from the front of the hall, seemed to have caught sight of the tail of the black line. He paused for a moment, then looked at the shadow under his feet, looking puzzled.

The elf who came along, also a half-step innate level, clearly noticed this unusual expression.

"what happened?"

"No, I think I just saw a black line flash by."

"Black lines? What are these?"

"I don't know. Why don't you wait for me to report? Lady Sheena instructed that any suspicious abnormalities should be reported."

These words made Gu Yun realize something was wrong, but he didn't take any action. He just secretly hid in the shadows and watched.

They will not make a move until the very last moment. Even if they join forces with Werner, they cannot kill four half-step Xiantian cultivators instantly. At that time, it will surely attract the attention of all the powerful figures in the palace.

The risk is simply too great.

Never take action unless absolutely necessary.

"Come on, what black line? I don't see it. The surroundings are so bright and clear, where would a black line come from? Are you 100% sure?"

"Um... I'm not sure, maybe... it was just glare?"

"It must be dazzling. This ever-burning candle is too bright. Although it enhances our perception and attention, it is too strong and can be uncomfortable."

"If you're not sure, then don't bother. With three pseudo-innate level elven royal priests in charge, one of whom even possesses imperial will, plus the goddess Sheena, I don't even want to think anyone would dare to try and cause trouble."

"Reporting it would only increase our burden, while they can still eat and drink as usual."

"Change shifts, change shifts."

...

call.

Gu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Including the gods, there are four supreme beings.

There is also one who possesses the Emperor's will.

That's really giving me face.

As he was thinking, Gu Yun went up to the third floor in one breath without even panting. It wasn't that the corridor on the first floor or even the second floor was unattended, but that these chickens and dogs couldn't sense him at all in the shadows.

Including the four on the third floor.

Gu Yun arrived at Yunyin's door once again.

This time, Gu Yun did not grasp the doorknob to check for any restrictions before pushing the door open.

After just a quick glance through the crack in the door, my gaze shifted to the familiar interior of the house.

As long as a medium is permeable to light, there will be a shadow, and with a shadow present, one can pass through without hindrance.

As for why Gu Yun chose to undergo testing first in the first instance...

Then he pushed the door open and went inside.

Gu Yun said that after hearing the conversation inside from the doorway and basically confirming Yun Yin's identity, he was somewhat mentally impaired.

At the time, all I could think about was a dignified reunion. It would be cool if a shadow suddenly appeared and grew larger, but reuniting with Yunyin just felt weird.

Without thinking too much, I pushed the door open.

Now that I think about it, what if there were still people among them who weren't gay?

really.

The descent into madness caused by love even affects someone who is half-demon.

But not anymore.

The excitement has passed; now all I need is a foolproof departure.

The layout of the room remained unchanged.

There's just an extra layer of special protection at the entrance, let's call it a restriction.

Yes.

When Gu Yun came in just now, Werner told him that the power assimilation had responded.

He and Werner coexist. Although it would be very taxing for them to use their powers at the same time, they can cooperate to use two different powers simultaneously.

However, this is just a roundabout way of breaking the rules by exploiting loopholes, and does not directly confront the rules.

At the same time, Werner also told himself that the unknown method on the door was not a formation or barrier.

kindness...

There is one more person.

To be precise, they should be elves.

Gu Yun, hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but become slightly more serious.

Within his line of sight, besides Yunyin, who was sitting on one side with a somewhat anxious expression, there was also a pseudo-innate elven royal powerhouse sitting on the other side, leisurely drinking tea.

Since she has a tuft of green hair, let's call her Little Green for now.

Although Gu Yun had long guessed that Yun Yin would not be left alone in her room.

However, it's not impossible.

What if.

Now it seems that I think too much.

However, if this little green creature is a pseudo-innate being, then we can basically rule out its identity as a deity.

Judging from my own feelings, he doesn't seem like someone who possesses imperial will.

Emperors generally have their own pride and are unlikely to lower themselves to spend an entire day just to stare at a little girl.

However, isn't it a bit too much to ask yourself to instantly kill a pseudo-innate being without making a fuss?

Once you reach the pseudo-innate level, it's not so easy to kill them instantly.

Even if he possesses the will of the emperor.

Otherwise, Gu Yun wouldn't have been able to keep anyone from the Star Alliance when they came; he's not a kind-hearted person.

Ok?

No, it seems one survived, but it didn't die.

It is still locked inside the spirit-sealing lock.

have to.

I was just thinking of trying to use the Spirit Sealing Lock to trap this pseudo-innate being immediately.

"Werner, do you think we can take this down if we both work together?"

The little black figure shook its head regretfully in reply.

"Killing him shouldn't be too difficult, but it really won't work if we don't make a big fuss."

"Just rob it."

"This was within your expectations, wasn't it?"

"After that first test, it's impossible for this girl to be left unattended."

"Get ready to cause a huge scene."

Gu Yun's heart sank, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

"I alone am enough."

"I'll make a commotion to distract them. You take Yunyin and go first. With Yunyin around, I won't be able to do my job properly."
