Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 582 A Glimmer of Humanity

"Ever since my connection with Ziqi was severed, I knew I would soon receive news of you."

"If it's not in the Zhaixing Tower, it's in the 'Ten Thousand Book Reviews,' and everyone knows about it."

Gu Yiguan wasn't too surprised to see Zhu Wuyao appear from the corner.

The uninvited guest was very tired.

It seems like they don't know how to say it, and find it difficult to speak.

Gu Yiguan asked, "The fragments of the Heavenly Dao have been taken away, and Juque has become the number one of the four sects?"

Zhu Wuyao pulled out a chair, sat down opposite Gu Yiguan, and said:

"It's not that bad yet."

It is Song Kezi.

"I accidentally lost Song Kezi, and Fu Shan picked her up."

Zhu Wuyao sighed deeply, placed his hand on the table, pressed his forehead, and said:

"Senior Sister Gu, the great formation that Fu Shan set up a thousand years ago is still in operation today."

"I can't kill Song Kezi and take her down with me."

When Zhu Wuyao mentioned "Fu Shan" twice, Gu Yiguan immediately realized that this was the true identity of the mastermind behind the Juque Sect.

A few days ago, when the Juque Sect caused such a commotion, Gu Yiguan did not risk contacting his spies. Now it seems that Ge Mingsheng's successful escape from the Juque Sect was indeed related to Zhu Wuyao.

But this phrase, "Senior Sister Gu"—

"So, you've finally decided to ask me for help."

Zhu Wuyao remained silent for a long time before finally saying:

"Senior sister, I cannot risk the survival of the Four Sects, Licheng, and the world for the sake of my own pride."

Before Fu Shan appeared in the world, Zhu Wuyao was quite proud of himself.

Wandering through the martial world, he skillfully navigates the complexities of life, witnessing Licheng's growth day by day, while also searching for items that grant destiny.

Furthermore, being a divination practitioner, even when surrounded by powerful enemies, one can anticipate events and easily escape.

How could she possibly return to the Star-Picking Tower and have her life plotted against by Gu Yiguan?

However, she has recently lost two matches against Fu Shan.

First, he killed the leader of the Juque Sect and helped Fu Shan escape; then he lost the Pinghe Ding and Song Kezi.

But the real reason Zhu Wuyao came to find Gu Yiguan was that Fu Shan had a large formation covering the entire south.

She needs to tell Gu Yiguan this news, and at the same time, she needs Gu Yiguan's help.

If losing face can help her stop the loss in time and even turn defeat into victory, then she can call her "senior sister" a few more times.

"I haven't received any information about what happened."

Hearing this, Zhu Wuyao was not surprised.

Because Fu Shan's fight with her happened in private, without any warning or much fanfare, this was the only way to avoid being "predicted".

Zhu Wuyao immediately instructed Zhu Wuyao to explain in detail how he knew Ge Mingsheng would have an accident and how he eventually escaped the formation.

Finally, he said, "Within the great formation, I couldn't think straight. At that time, I only thought that even if I handed over Song Kezi, Fu Shan, who possessed the fragment of the Heavenly Dao, could see the danger he was in and wouldn't dare to touch him."

"After escaping this time, we can take things slowly in the future. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't matter."

"But when I guessed that her great formation was maintained by bloodline and covered the entire south, I realized how powerful Fu Shan was."

“I’m afraid of falling into her trap and losing my fragments of the Heavenly Dao, so I’ve decided to find a smart person to give me some advice.”

Gu Yi nodded.

Then he took out a map and said, "You're already very smart for not waiting until things are beyond repair before seeking help."

“Draw the places you mentioned.”

Zhu Wuyao took out a charcoal pencil, moved the map in front of him, and then drew a circle around the location of their final confrontation.

He pushed the map back in front of Gu Yiguan and leaned back.

"Where is that mountain village located?"

Zhu Wuyao leaned back in his chair with his arms crossed, shook his head, and said:

"I'm afraid you'll kill people to break the formation."

Gu Yiguan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That's fine. If I find out where that mountain village is, and the villagers die for other reasons, suspicion will inevitably fall on me, which will damage the trust between us."

Zhu Wuyao has already removed the mark left on the villagers remotely.

In the eyes of those villagers, he was probably dead...

While pondering these thoughts, Gu Yiguan paused for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"She didn't continue to hunt you down?"

Zhu Wuyao nodded and said, "Yes, they were probably attracted by the cauldron of the Juque Sect and Song Kezi of the Zhaixing Tower."

Another incense-burning time passed.

Gu Yiguan suddenly raised his hand and retrieved many maps from the Wudao Hall.

After comparing the maps multiple times, she presented Zhu Wuyao with a map of the four sects' territories from a thousand years ago, pointed to the final location of their battle, and said:

"It's not that Fu Shan doesn't want to pursue her, it's that she probably can't."

The sand table is suspended around you.

Fu Shan had long ago rearranged the distribution of rivers and mountains from a thousand years ago, comparing it with today's maps.

There are many marked points on it.

Many have left where the flag was.

A thousand years ago, Fu Shan placed anchor points on tens of thousands of people, intending to use the formation in the south and human lives as sacrifices to transform the fortune of the Giant Que into his own, in order to refine the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

However, he was ambushed by his junior brother.

The massive array that covered the entire south was forced to stop halfway through its operation, and the tens of thousands of people who were trapped there survived by sheer luck.

She was trapped for a thousand years, and tens of thousands of people lived and multiplied there.

Even though their bloodlines are constantly diluted, if they gather into a clan, they can still serve as the core of the formation and play other roles even today, a thousand years later.

For example, the distribution of spiritual energy between heaven and earth in the left and right south.

Even if it cannot contend with the laws of heaven, it is enough to create a slight imbalance in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for fishing.

She was certain that Zhu Wuyao would go to the border.

But we don't know exactly where it will be.

So they mobilized the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to lure the Nascent Soul stage cultivator away.

Fu Shan saw the points of light belonging to the nameless mountain village migrating back to their original positions, just as she had expected—Zhu Wuyao would protect these villagers.

Only here does a glimmer of humanity still remain.

As for the remaining bloodline settlements along the border... they will fade into obscurity when the population decreases to a certain level.

I wish Wuyao could escape the South.

The abnormality of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has disappeared.

Only in one place—Licheng—is Fu Shan still trying his best to reduce the spiritual energy of the place.

Fu Shan looked at the sand table; this large array, within its small area, enveloped the entire south.

At the same time, it also trapped her.

Due to the upheaval a thousand years ago, she forcibly merged with the fragments of the Heavenly Dao, but could only maintain a stable state within the area covered by the great formation.

Fu Shan took out the small cauldron.

She released the junior cultivator inside and guessed who it was—the one mentioned in "Ten Thousand Book Reviews"—Zhu Wuyao publicly beat up Song Kezi, the third disciple of Zhaixinglou.

"Ouch!"

Song Kezi rolled around a few times and saw the scene around him. He was a little confused, but he quickly realized where he was. He looked around and saw the woman who was watching him.

He paused for a moment, then immediately rushed forward and said:

“My dear, I’ve finally found you!”

"Waaaaah, do you know, ever since I became aware of your existence, I've been secretly helping you and making things difficult for Zhu Wuyao, all so that we can reunite as soon as possible!"
