I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

If someone had not seen his body movements, they would definitely think that what he said made sense. However, Gu Lan had seen his strange body movements and did not believe it from the bottom of his heart. However, he could not prove it at this time, so he had to continue asking.

"Of course you can, but when those two disciples flew into the air with their swords, I saw your expression showing that you were very sure that they would be in danger. Why didn't you speak up to stop them?"

The disciple became calmer and answered fluently.

"My master has a magical weapon called the Heaven-Killing and Earth-Killing Net. The Earth-Killing Net is like driving fish. When the fish are driven into a desperate situation, the Heaven-Killing Net will kill them. I saw golden lotuses suddenly appearing all over the ground, forcing people to go to the sky. I thought of my master's magical weapon. I thought the sky might not be safe, but I was not sure, so I did not speak out to stop it.

"Why? Does this seem strange to you?"

He actually asked Gu Lan back.

Seeing that he was making sense, the other disciples also spoke up, "What's so strange about this? You are making a fuss out of nothing!"

Gu Lan took a deep breath. This guy was really good at talking.

He glanced at Gu Lan and gave an understanding smile, "People are suspicious in this situation, but we all want to get out, so we really shouldn't make things unpleasant at this time."

After saying this, he looked at every disciple present and smiled kindly.

His eyes were dark and deep, like a deep pool. Just one look from him would make one's heart sink into them. All the monks present nodded woodenly, saying unconsciously, "Yes, yes, it's important to get out. We shouldn't cause any unpleasantness."

He smiled with satisfaction and tilted his head to look at Gu Lan.

Gu Lan was the only one in the room who was sober.

Gu Lan felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. Goosebumps all over his body appeared and his hair stood on end!

There is something wrong with him!

Gu Lan knew everything in her heart clearly, but she couldn't say anything. She could only stare at him blankly.

The world suddenly became still, and he was the only one walking. He walked up to Gu Lan and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"

Gu Lan wanted to keep her mouth shut and not utter a word, but her mouth and tongue seemed to be separate from her own and she couldn't wait to speak out.

"So you are a disciple of Qianji Sect. Humph, it's a blessing that Qianji Sect can still survive in the world! Watch your mouth and don't talk too much. Maybe I can give you a way out." He stretched out his cold hand and suddenly invaded Gu Lan's collar.

The fingers with distinct knuckles moved around Gu Lan's neck, pinching and relaxing it intentionally or unintentionally.

"You know, crushing you to death is as easy as crushing an ant." He leaned closer and said.

A burst of coldness struck Gu Lan's heart.

He did what he said! This is a naked threat!

Gu Lan opened her eyes wide, she really didn't want to die. The desire to survive at that moment even made her lose her pride, leaving her only able to wag her tail and beg for mercy.

This made Gu Lan very depressed and also made her feel humiliated.

The next moment, Gu Lan closed her eyes, not wanting to look at him.

"Heh." He pulled his hand away. "People have a survival instinct. Do you find it shameful?"

Gu Lan gritted her teeth, "When you are insulted like this, I hope you can still say this!"

"Well, a girl like you is quite interesting." He waved his hand and everything in the world became normal again. No one paused at all. A disciple continued the previous conversation and said, "Now we should think about how to get out. Is there any way?"

He stood out as if nothing had happened, bowed, and politely replied: "My master has done some research on formations, and I also have some talent. I have heard a little about this formation. If everyone works together and controls the sword at the center of the formation, we can break it."

“But where is the center of the formation?” The disciples of the Shenyin Sect didn’t believe that there was anyone who understood the formation better than them. Seeing that he was so arrogant, they wanted to test him.

He was seen using several stones to smash several golden lotuses in succession. After the stones had broken the golden lotuses into pieces, they stood on top of them.

Several stones were connected in a line, revealing the center of the formation to everyone.

Several disciples of the Shenyin Sect were speechless and convinced: "It is true that there are always people who are better than you."

There are always people who are better than you. Maybe he is not a human!

Gu Lan complained in his heart, but he really didn't say a word and kept his mouth tightly shut.

He looked at Gu Lan with joy in his eyes, but Gu Lan turned her head away and didn't want to look at him.

At this time, golden lotuses on the ground were blooming like bamboo shoots after the spring rain, making it extremely difficult to walk. In some places, one could only put one foot down.

The disciples of the Shenyin Sect hurriedly asked everyone to fly the sword according to the disciple's words, and followed their instructions to count at the Kun and Qian positions.

After a while, the formation was broken.

At the same time, all the golden lotuses withered.

The crisis was resolved, and everyone thanked him one by one. No one doubted him anymore, except Gu Lan.

After this lesson, everyone walked very carefully, and the disciples of the Shenyin Sect stood at the front, like hunting dogs, carefully sniffing whether there were any more formations ahead.

The journey was smooth and soon they arrived at a vast plain. There was no grass or corpses on the plain, only rough stones.

There stood a tightly closed door in the middle of the plain, from where the purple air came out.

"There are no traces of formations here." Several disciples of the Shenyin Sect said.

Everyone felt relieved when they heard this, but they still didn't dare to walk around recklessly. They still followed the disciples of the Shenyin Sect. After walking for a distance, they really couldn't see any traces of the formation. Only then did they relax completely, and gradually the team disappeared.

A few clever ones flew over on their swords while everyone was still walking slowly, hoping to get the secret treasure first. However, when they arrived at the door, it suddenly rose higher, and at the same time, hundreds of steps flew down from the door.

Each step was as black as carbon.

The disciples were startled at this, but then they saw that there was no danger behind the steps that appeared at the door. They smiled confidently, turned around and bowed to everyone, and said proudly: "Everyone, we are one step ahead!"

As he said that, he flew to the stairs and planned to fly up along them.

Unexpectedly, just when they flew to within a step of the stairs, several people fell off the sword without warning, and the magic sword seemed to have lost its spiritual energy and fell down.

The few people didn't fly very high, so they didn't feel any pain when they fell. They hurriedly brushed off the dust on their clothes and planned to try again. After trying two or three times, they found that they couldn't fly up with the sword, so they had to give up, put away the magic sword, and planned to walk up.

They discovered the problem as soon as they stepped onto the first step.

These stairs are not ordinary stairs. Every step you take will consume spiritual energy. It is easy to step on them, but it is difficult to lift your feet up.

After climbing three flights of stairs like this, he could no longer move forward. He struggled a few times, but the more he struggled, the more painful it became, and his spiritual energy disappeared faster.

Soon, several people looked pale, and after their spiritual energy was exhausted, they lay on the steps in a mess.

The stairs seemed to dislike the few people's poor cultivation and kicked them out.

The few people who were kicked away lay on the ground, panting, and reminded everyone weakly: "This staircase has been restricted. Once you climb it, you can't use any spiritual power at all. Not only that, but your spiritual power will be absorbed. I think we should just forget it."

Of course, the crowd didn't want to listen and wanted to try it themselves.

The result was the same, all the disciples were kicked away one by one.

Gu Lan did not leave first, but kept an eye on the unfamiliar disciple's movements. After most of the disciples collapsed on the ground, the disciple slowly stepped forward.

His feet stepped on the steps without any obstruction, just like walking on flat ground. Everyone was stunned and began to doubt themselves.

Who is this disciple?

Gu Lan saw his movements and followed him. After stepping onto the first step, Gu Lan did not feel anything wrong, and he did not feel anything when he went up the next step.

Just like that, he walked up step by step until he reached the side of that person. That person lowered his head, looked up at Gu Lan lazily, and said, "It seems like you are the destined person."
