Chapter 1915: Chapter 1912: The Strange Five of the Xuantian Sect

Amidst the swift flight of his concealed figure, Lin Bai flipped through all the memories concerning possession in his mind.

“Possession requires cultivation at the Yangshen Realm, because only when the divine soul within the Yangshen Realm has formed can one qualify to complete the possession.”

“And Senior Brother Gu Yuan was originally at the Ninth Level of the Yangshen Realm, so a warrior of the same realm or a warrior of Great Perfection simply cannot possess Gu Yuan’s body!”

“Even if Senior Brother Gu Yuan has died, it’s still exceedingly difficult for a warrior of the same realm to possess him.”

“Besides, there’s only one other explanation—if Senior Brother Gu Yuan has died, then the one who possessed him must have cultivation far above the Yangshen Realm to succeed.”

“However, after possessing someone, the possessor usually needs two to three years for their body to fully integrate and become familiar.”

“Since I left the Spirit Boat in Xuantian Domain and came to Zhexian City, at most half a year has passed. Even if Senior Brother Gu Yuan was possessed, how could the possessor integrate with his body to such a degree in just a few short months!”

“This is too unfathomable.”

Lin Bai said coldly, his eyes sharp.

Lin Bai rode on the flying swords and didn’t look for puppets to kill on the second floor. Instead, he pursued the distant trail of Gu Yuan.

Soon after, Lin Bai caught up with Gu Yuan, but he didn’t get close. Instead, he followed at a distance, staying a hundred miles behind, undetected by Gu Yuan.

As Gu Yuan moved forward, he was also very cautious, frequently stopping to check if anyone was following him from behind, but he didn’t discover Lin Bai.

Following behind Gu Yuan from afar, Lin Bai noticed that as Gu Yuan flew above, he saw the puppets on the ground but ignored them, showing no intention of attacking them.

“He didn’t kill the puppets… which indicates that what he told me before about hunting puppets was a lie.”

“This person is indeed not Senior Brother Gu Yuan.”

Lin Bai muttered as he looked down at the puppets on the ground.

Half an hour later, on the peak of a towering mountain, Gu Yuan flew and landed on the mountain peak.

From a distance, Lin Bai stopped and looked at the mountain peak where four or five people were already waiting for Gu Yuan.

These people were none other than Ding Huo, Lin Xiaoqing, Lei Chong, and Chai Ming.

After Ding Huo and the others talked for a while, they once again flew up into the air. Due to the distance, Lin Bai couldn’t hear what they said.

“If only Luo Quan were here, he would be able to clearly hear what Ding Huo and the others were saying from a hundred miles away.”

“Are they leaving again?”

“They came to the second floor, not hunting puppets or challenging warriors. What exactly are they doing flying aimlessly around here?”

Lin Bai continued to follow them with his sword.

An hour, two hours, half a day, a day, two days…

Three days passed.

During these three days, Lin Bai had been following Ding Huo and the others at a steady pace. He was amazed to find these five people gathered together, neither hunting puppets nor challenging experts.

They were merely flying around the second floor without any clear purpose.

“It seems they are searching for something?”

By the evening of the third day, Lin Bai suddenly had a premonition that they seemed to be looking for something.

On the night of the third day,

Gu Yuan, Ding Huo, and the others stopped to rest on a mountain.

Lin Bai maintained a distance of five hundred miles from them and also stopped.

At this moment, Lin Bai suddenly noticed that Ding Huo had been sitting cross-legged, but suddenly stood up, a hint of ecstasy appearing on his face, his eyes directed at the sky.

“The sky?”

Lin Bai saw Ding Huo looking ecstatically at the sky, and couldn’t help but look up too.

With one glance!

Lin Bai saw the starry sky above the God-Demon Sea, very close to the ground, as if standing on the mountain peak, one could reach out and pluck the stars from the sky one by one!

But Lin Bai looked for a long time without detecting anything unusual.

The starry sky was still the same, and the stars were still the same.

Although Lin Bai didn’t see anything unusual, in Ding Huo’s eyes, it was otherwise; with unparalleled joy, he looked up at the starry sky, his face showing unprecedented delight.

Lin Bai turned his gaze to look at Ding Huo.

Lin Bai saw Ding Huo say a few words to the four people beside him, and they also showed expressions of joy and looked up at the starry sky just like Ding Huo did.

After looking for a full half an hour, the five seemed to have finished their discussion.

Suddenly at this moment, Ding Huo took something out from the storage bag, crushed it fiercely, and a black mist that blotted out the sky enveloped the mountain and the five of them.

The black mist appeared, making it impossible for Lin Bai to see Ding Huo and the others.

“Black mist?”

“What are they trying to do?”

“For these three days, not hunting puppets, not challenging warriors, even when warriors challenged them, they didn’t accept and just left.”

“It’s like they’re searching for something!”

“Now they’re looking at the starry sky with ecstasy, then using this black mist to obscure the view, what exactly are they intending to do…”

Five hundred miles away, Lin Bai’s expression solidified, his expression serious. After hesitating for a while, Lin Bai cautiously approached the mountain where the five of them were, with his sword.

Lin Bai wanted to know what they are trying to do!

Lin Bai wanted to know even more about who they are!

Who possessed Gu Yuan!

Are they connected to the Life and Death Cursed Talisman?

This scene occurred in a corner of the second floor; even in Zhexian City, few had seen this scene.

In Zhexian City, many warriors were focused on another event.

“Leng Yun of the Divine Dragon Domain and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine of the Nameless Region are actually planning to duel on the second floor?”

“These two are both top ten in the East Continent Heroes Record.”

“If they fight, it’ll be as exciting as the battle two days ago between Yin Jiuling and Lin Yibing!”

“I must say, Yin Jiuling is incredibly strong, defeating Lin Yibing in just Three Techniques.”

“The fight has started, Leng Yun and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine have started fighting…”

In Zhexian City, the warriors had focused their minds on the scene projected on the wall, including Chen Liang, Zuo Hao, and even Ren Tingga, who was presiding over the examination, were all intently watching the battle between Leng Yun and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine.

Due to this battle, few noticed the strange behavior of Ding Huo and his group.

The gray-robed elder sat among the Life-and-Death Realm practitioners, his eyes completely ignoring the battle between Leng Yun and Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, focusing instead on Ding Huo.

In Zhexian City, he was the only strong one whose attention was on Ding Huo and the others.

“Qiu Lin, have you found the entrance?”

The gray-robed elder saw Ding Huo taking out the smoke from the storage bag, cloaking the mountain, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But at this moment, the smile on the gray-robed elder’s face suddenly froze. He was surprised to see a young man riding a sword outside the black mist-covered mountain, standing there, appearing lost in thought.

“Lin Bai! Why is he here!”

A look of unprecedented astonishment appeared on the gray-robed elder’s face.
