"Take his body back to the City Lord's Mansion. He sacrificed his life for the people of this city. He is a hero of the whole city and deserves our due respect." Yuan Chu said to the monks from the City Lord's Mansion with a heavy heart.

"It should be so." Several monks from the City Lord's Mansion responded.

Yuanchu said with a heavy heart: "As for those innocent villagers in Tianhe Village who died tragically, let's cremate them on the spot after praying for their souls to rest in peace."

Afterwards, Yuanchu, together with several monks from the City Lord's Mansion, performed a ritual to pray for the souls of the villagers in Tianshui River and then cremated them.

They gathered the bodies of the villagers beside the Tianshui River, since they relied on this river for fishing when they were alive.

Yuanchu hoped that after they left, the river would still bring them blessings, and that they would not suffer this disaster again in their next life.

I just hope they can live their short life like a mayfly in the ocean in peace and smoothness.

Yuan Chu and a few others stood beside the bodies of more than 60 villagers, their eyes closed, concentrating in their minds and reciting scriptures for the afterlife.

As the scriptures for the afterlife were continuously recited silently, a large mass of white spiritual power poured into the bodies of the villagers, as if to comfort their wronged souls.

I just hope that their resentment and death after death can dissipate soon, and that they can go to the ghost world to reincarnate in the next life as soon as possible, be reborn into a good family in the next life, and live a happy and fulfilling life.

After chanting the scriptures for the salvation of souls, Yuanchu and others opened their eyes, watched the villagers leave, and then prepared to return to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the demon beast had been dealt with. Yuanchu planned to meet with the Lord of Phoenix City and then immediately set off back to Kunlun Sect.

After all, there is a little apprentice at home who is participating in the competition alone.

Although the system told her that the young disciple had always overcome many difficulties and performed well in the competition.

But since her little apprentice was not under her supervision, she felt somewhat worried and uneasy.

Although she also knew that Gu Xi already had a certain ability to protect herself and there was no need for her to worry so much, she just couldn't change her habit of worrying about nothing.

At that time, *Kunlun Sect*

The martial arts square was bustling with people, and everyone present was looking forward to the result of the last round of competition today.

This is directly related to the reputation and prestige of their various sects, as well as whether their disciples can enter the Lingze Secret Realm to get a share of the pie.

Three days ago, Gu Xi and Wei Lingyu teamed up to successfully pass the second round of competition, and today is her last round of competition.

This competition determines the final points ranking of this sect competition, and also determines the list of people eligible to participate in the Lingze Secret Realm Trial.

Gu Xi pursed her lips and said nothing, but her heart was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that only by getting a ranking would she be qualified to enter the secret realm smoothly.

Only by gaining opportunities from them can she grow faster and become stronger.

During these days, Gu Xi has been taken care of by Yuan Chu. Yuan Chu taught her swordsmanship, stood up for her, helped her to train her body, and took her to choose a spiritual sword. Yuan Chu completely protected her.

She enjoyed this protection, but she fantasized that one day she would be able to stand in front of Yuanchu and protect her from the wind and rain.

She couldn't just hide under her master's wings forever and rely on her protection. She had to become stronger.

So she didn't want to lose this competition, couldn't lose, and couldn't afford to lose.

She will win. She has the courage and confidence to win this competition, and her confidence comes from her master.

When thinking of his master, Gu Xi couldn't help but smile.

Not knowing what the master is doing now, Gu Xi's slightly curled and thick eyelashes trembled, casting a shadow on her eyelids.

It doesn't matter. I said I would wait for Master to come back. When Master comes back, she will be proud of me if she knows that I won the competition.

A seed of the desire to become stronger took root in Gu Xi's heart, and from then on it was like a flood that could not be stopped, absorbing nutrients from everywhere.

She believed that the seed would one day take root, sprout, grow into a towering tree, and bear abundant fruit.

Elder Qin Ming, who was presiding over the Immortal Sect Competition, stood in front of the stage, cleared his throat and said, "Next is the final round of the Immortal Sect Competition. I wish you all a great start and hope you will win first place."

In this game, Gu Xi was also facing a sword cultivator from another sect. The two of them used many tricks and were extremely difficult to deal with.

They kept fighting until everyone had finished.

More and more people gathered in the audience, watching Gu Xi's superb swordsmanship, and were amazed: "At such a young age, he can use the Nine Provinces Swordsmanship to such an extent, he is worthy of being the Kunlun Immortal Sect!"

"The Kunlun disciple in white on the stage is truly a stunning talent."

"it is good!"

Gu Xi on the stage leaped up and slashed with his sword, eliminating the murderous intent of the opponent, causing the audience below to applaud.

Gu Xi on the stage made moves faster and faster. After several days of competition, Gu Xi had already developed a unique fighting style of his own.

The person on the opposite side suddenly felt exhausted and gradually could not withstand Gu Xi's fierce attack.

Bai Ming, who was standing in the audience, watched the competition intently, thinking that his junior sister's disciple had a high talent for swordsmanship.

Given her intelligence at such a young age, it's no surprise that she cares so much about her.

She thought that since she had promised her junior sister to take care of Gu Xi, she would definitely fulfill her promise.

After a while, Bai Ming felt something was not right. Gu Xi was so agile, swift and quick in his moves.

Although she still has the upper hand, her attacks are obviously much slower. She looks a little weak and her face is red.

Logically speaking, if it was just physical energy being consumed, the symptoms shouldn't be like this.

This symptom is very similar to... She frowned slightly, and couldn't remember it for a moment.

Gu Xi herself also felt something strange in her body. Somehow her limbs suddenly became weak and her mind was not very clear. She could only rely on her body's instincts and her remaining consciousness to fight back.

Suddenly, a residual image appeared in front of Gu Xi's eyes. What happened? The feeling that her body was on the verge of losing control made her feel very uneasy.

Su Chan watched as Gu Xi was poisoned by the Nine Nether Musk that she had refined, and her sword movements gradually became unmanageable.

She smiled grimly in a place where no one could see, I am determined to obtain the Lingze Secret Realm, if you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck, who else can you blame!

This competition has lasted too long, it’s time to end it!

Seeing Su Chan stabbing towards his left shoulder, Gu Xi immediately raised his sword to block, but missed.

Su Chan smiled grimly, gathered all her spiritual power in the palm of her left hand, and slapped Gu Xi's right shoulder heavily.

Bai Ming's face suddenly changed. Not good!

She remembered that Gu Xi's symptoms were very similar to being poisoned by some kind of incense.

It is no exaggeration to say that this incense is poisonous. It is colorless and odorless. If you are poisoned by it, the mildest consequence is that you will feel weak all over and your limbs will be sore.

In severe cases, a person may lose consciousness and fall into a coma, and the cause cannot be found afterwards. There will also be no residue left in the body, leaving no trace at all.
