"Gu Yao, get out of the way!"
"Looking for death!"
"Meow!!!"
He didn't expect that the thief would actually rush towards Gu Yao. The first elder Yi who arrived was furious.
It was too late to say, then soon, Gu Yao was not the kind of person who would surrender. He stacked layers of defense in front of him. As an alchemist, he was rich, and with the spirit talismans drawn by Chi Changye himself, he sprinkled all kinds of defensive means like money.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
The man in black failed to break the turtle shell in front of Gu Yao with several strikes, but a small figure behind him kept expanding, and his body was surrounded by black flames, as if he came from hell. The black shadow soon enveloped the man in black in the air. The man in black felt that the air behind him seemed to burn, and he ignored Gu Yao in front of him, turned around and wanted to resist, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the ferocious face of the black shadow, and he gasped on the spot.
"Li Shuiyu!"
He had just called out this name, and a claw of the ferocious beast slapped down from the air. The claw was wrapped in a ball of black fire, which seemed to burn even the soul.
"No-"
A clear sound like shattered glass rang out in the night. Gu Yao saw a bracelet-shaped magic weapon break apart. The man in black threw out another magic weapon to resist, but he was still slapped away by a claw. He crushed a talisman in his hand and disappeared.
"Roar roar roar!" The ferocious beast was furious. He actually escaped under its eyelids.
"This is…" Elder Yi, who came over, was shocked to see the beast in front of him. If he hadn't seen the beast slap the man in black away and save Gu Yao, he would have doubted that the beast had the same idea as the man in black.
And he clearly heard the name that the man in black called out, Hei Yan Beast!
"Zai Zai, change back." Gu Yao reached out and called.
The huge ferocious beast heard Gu Yao's voice, and first lowered its head and yelled at Gu Yao twice, but then obediently shrank, until it finally became that small ball. Elder Yi looked at it and saw that it was the black kitten that followed Gu Yao. After figuring out the true identity of the kitten, he also gasped. Who would have thought that Gu Yao had such a strange beast hidden by his side, and it was obviously subdued by him.
The kitten jumped into Gu Yao's palm and stuck out its tongue, looking exhausted. Gu Yao quickly stuffed a pill into it, and took out a few spirit fruits. Both its original body and the use of Hei Ming Yan consumed a lot, and it couldn't last for a long time.
Dean Yu took a look and then turned and chased the man in black, silently sneaking into the Sword Peak.
Needless to say, this person must have lurked in the academy, and of course he had to do everything possible to dig him out.
Seeing that the dean went to chase the murderer, Elder Yi stayed behind and asked the other people who were alarmed to go back, stating that this matter must not be spread out, and then he came to Gu Yao and asked him to enter the room and talk, and offered him tea.
Elder Yi sat down and looked at the kitten who was happily gnawing on the spirit fruit. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't dare to believe that this was the ferocious beast that had just shown off its power. "Is this really a Hei Yan Beast?"
Gu Yao knew that he couldn't hide it, so he explained the origin of the Hei Yan Beast. Elder Yi then learned that it was obtained from the ancestral land of the Shi family. Now that he thinks about it, it was indeed after going to the ancestral land of the Shi family that Gu Yao had this kitten by his side, but who could have guessed it: "So the thing that attracted the attention of the experts back then, also fell into this little thing's stomach?"
Elder Yi pointed at the kitten, which made the kitten show him its sharp teeth. Gu Yao patted its head and told it to calm down, saying: "I don't know the exact situation, but according to speculation, it should have been attracted by something to break out of its shell, then disappeared for a while, and came back like this."
Elder Yi sighed and smiled: "It seems that it is your and Chi's chance. Fortunately, there is this little guy tonight, who can detect the thief who sneaked in in time, and luckily it dragged the thief, otherwise I don't know what the situation will be."
Elder Yi couldn't help but look at Chi Changye again. According to Gu Yao's meaning, it was Chi Changye who sent the kitten to Gu Yao's hand at that time. Did Chi Changye guess the origin of the kitten? Maybe he did it because he guessed it, so that Gu Yao, an alchemist, also had a more reliable security guarantee.
Dean Yu came back once, but couldn't find the trace of the thief. However, Gu Yao said: "The man in black was slapped by the kitten, and there must be a mark of Hei Ming Yan on his body. Although Hei Ming Yan is not fully developed, it is not easy to eliminate it. The dean can start from this aspect to investigate."
Dean Yu smiled and said: "It seems that the kitten has done a great job. I will take care of this matter. You should also be careful."
Dean Yu paused and left again, without showing much curiosity about the kitten. Gu Yao couldn't help guessing, did Dean Yu suspect the identity of the kitten before? This time he just confirmed it.
Elder Yi also left. This incident made him see that there were many loopholes in the protection of Sword Peak, and he needed to strengthen them one by one. There were already protective formations and various warning formations on Sword Peak. The other party didn't alarm any of them, which showed that he knew Sword Peak very well.
Gu Yao was a little shocked, but it didn't have much impact. He believed in the kitten, believed in Senior Xu Chen, and believed that he was not defenseless even if he faced a foundation-building cultivator. He could always drag it until Dean Yu and the others came to rescue him. The other party underestimated him too much, thinking that he had no defense when Chi Changye put him into the Sword Pavilion?
The kitten's slap was enough for him.
Gu Yao was able to continue reading and refining pills that night. Xu Chen saw it and said to himself that this person had a big heart.
The next day, Gu Yao walked on Sword Peak, and no one looked at him differently. It seemed that Elder Yi had blocked the news. Except for the few people who were alarmed last night, no one else knew about it. This also met Gu Yao's wishes. He didn't want to make it known to the world.
However, Jiang Yan and Lu Qiusheng knew some wind, and they sent messages to ask him about his situation. Knowing that he was all right, they told him to be careful, and just stay on Sword Peak. It was safer than outside, even though such a thing happened last night.
During the day, when he communicated with others about alchemy, Wei Jinzhi also came. He was not used to it at first. He used to regard Gu Yao as an enemy, then regarded him as a confidant after a few times, and now he admired Gu Yao and admired his alchemy.
Wei Jinzhi brought a few questions that he had accumulated, and Gu Yao answered them one by one. Then he casually mentioned the master of Dan Peak and his senior brother.
Wei Jinzhi shrugged: "I don't know. I went to see my senior brother before I came, but the attendant there said that my senior brother was going to retreat for a few days. My master often doesn't see people. He will summon us if he has something to do, and arrange our own cultivation if he doesn't."
Gu Yao raised his eyebrows and didn't continue this topic. In fact, the most suspicious one was Lin, the master of Dan Peak. He didn't know if his big disciple was on the same side as him. Wei Jinzhi was a bit annoying at first, but he was fine after getting along with him more. Gu Yao didn't refuse his contact.
On the other side, Dean Yu sent a message to the masters of the peaks and the main senior staff, discussing the matter of Tian Yuan Dan, and asked them to be there, otherwise they would not wait.
Everyone gathered together, and Elder Yi was no exception. His focus was not on Tian Yuan Dan, but on paying attention to everyone who came in. The one who could do that last night was either in the late stage of foundation building or in the great stage. Of course, he did not rule out that someone had hidden their cultivation and lurked in the academy.
Master Cai was excited. The dean was finally going to deal with the Tian Yuan Dan in his hand. He should be able to get one of them, right? As the master of Wu Peak, if his martial cultivation fell behind the other peaks, that would be a big shame. So he had done a lot of work in this period of time, made a lot of promises, but the hardest one to deal with was Lin, the master of Dan Peak. He could refine pills, which gave him a natural advantage and connections, and he also participated in the refining of Tian Yuan Dan.
Dean Yu came out and sat in the main seat: "Are you all here? Is everyone here?"
"Huh? Why didn't Master Lin show up? Should we send someone to Dan Peak to check?"
"I'll send a message to Master Lin right away. Maybe he was delayed by something urgent. Don't worry."
However, no matter what methods they used, they still didn't see Master Lin appear. In the end, Dan Peak sent someone over to explain that Master Lin had closed himself off temporarily, and the messages outside couldn't be delivered to the place where he was closed.
Master Cai raised his eyebrows. Closed off at this time? He didn't believe it at all. No matter how urgent the matter of closing off was, it was not as important as Tian Yuan Dan. How could he have the mood to close off without the result of Tian Yuan Dan?
Master Cai thought of the incident on Sword Peak last night. Although it was sealed, some movements inevitably leaked out, so he guessed that Sword Peak was not peaceful last night. What kind of trouble was that? Could it have something to do with Master Lin? So he didn't dare to show up today, afraid of being exposed?
"Dean, what do you think of this matter…"
Dean Yu felt heavy in his heart. He didn't want to doubt Master Lin, but one or two things pointed to Master Lin, and it was hard to believe his innocence. He waved his hand and said: "I said I wouldn't wait. Master Lin missed this opportunity. There will be another one."
Everyone knew that Dean Yu's decision wouldn't change. The cultivators who stood on Master Lin's side cursed him in their hearts. He actually disappeared at such a critical time! Closed off my ass!
In the end, one of the Tian Yuan Dan was taken by Master Cai, and one was given to Fang Wangru of the Punishment Hall. Fang Wangru had a high talent and a shorter cultivation time than other foundation-building cultivators. By giving it to him, the others were sour in their hearts, but they couldn't object. Compared to others, Fang Wangru had a higher chance of forming a core.
"Puff!" In the secret room, after the ownership of Tian Yuan Dan was announced, the person inside spat out a mouthful of blood. He was so angry that he not only lost Tian Yuan Dan, but also might be suspected by the old bastard named Yu.
