Chapter 286 - 286 Temporary Escape

286 Temporary Escape

“Oh? There’s actually such a thing?” Wu Ji patriarch asked curiously.

“The river of forgetfulness’s three tribulations. The river of forgetfulness starts from naivety, but naivety returns to rebirth. The tribulations are intertwined, and there is a connection between them. Shangguan Fei explained patiently.

“So it’s actually very easy for us to find the bridge of helplessness. We just need to follow the direction of the flow of the water.” Shangguan Fei floated down from the air and came to the riverbank.

He looked at the surging blood-yellow River.

The river flows from the West to the East, so the bridge of helplessness must be in the West. We just need to move up the North current to find the bridge of helplessness! Shangguan Fei paused and continued.

“As expected, Island Master Shangguan is really wise!” Wu Ji patriarch also walked to the river and gave him a thumbs-up.

“Then what are we all waiting for? To prevent that stinky brat from getting there first!” Liu Youcheng urged.

“With my light cocoon around, if Gu Mingzhou wants to cross the bridge of helplessness, he’ll have to abandon Jing Wudao, and he might not be willing to abandon his companions.” Shangguan Fei said calmly.

“If that’s the case, we need to hurry up. If we see him later, I’ll imprison him in space and cut off the use of his instant talismans. Then, I’ll kill this kid myself!” Wu Ji said viciously.

“The next time I see that kid, I definitely can’t let him go!” He Youliang also chimed in.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!” Liu Youcheng was an impatient person, and he knew the right direction. Without any hesitation, he immediately took the lead and shot forward.

Seeing this, Wu Ji patriarch quickly chased after Liu Youcheng.

Wei Lin and He Youliang followed closely behind, activating their origin power and flying up into the air.

“What an interesting fellow. I’d like to know how you’re going to kill me, you dog!” Shangguan Fei muttered to himself as he looked at the backs of the four people who were flying away quickly.

Before he finished his words, he also jumped up and stepped into the void, quickly chasing after them.

At the riverside, which was a thousand miles away from where they were flying.

Gu Mingzhou, whose body was still extremely weak, was flying slowly with the light cocoon.

Shangguan Fei and the Wu Ji patriarch had guessed correctly. Gu Mingzhou had used the instant talisman the Wu Ji patriarch had obtained at the last moment.

He didn’t expect that he would be able to save his life.

He did not let his guard down after temporarily escaping from Shangguan Fei and the others.

Right now, Gu Mingzhou has almost become the target of public criticism. In the ruins, which were not considered big, the only thing he could do was to leave this place as soon as possible.

They could only enter the core of the ruins in advance. There was no other way.

After all, with Gu Mingzhou’s current cultivation, it was impossible for him to fight against Shangguan Fei and the other five powerhouses at the same time.

Wei Lin, who had the weakest cultivation among them, could probably kill Gu Mingzhou easily.

I have to leave the River of the Dead as soon as possible! Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhou became more and more nervous.

However, his injuries were too heavy. Although he had temporarily escaped from danger with the instant talisman, he was already close to the end of his life. It was already a miracle that he could fly. He simply couldn’t increase his speed.

Fortunately, just as Gu Mingzhou was about to collapse, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind. He thought of an important person and hurriedly called out.

“Master Qin, are you still alive? Master Qin!”

“Didn’t I already tell you? Don’t disturb Master Qin’s rest?”

Gu Mingzhou called out to her for a long time before his lazy voice came from her shoulder.

“You still have the mood to sleep? If you continue sleeping like this, we’re all done for!” Gu Mingzhou said unhappily.

“Bah! I’ve just woken up, and I’m hearing you talking nonsense. What a killjoy! Why did you call Master Qin for?” Master Qin asked while yawning.

“Please open your eyes and look at the situation before you ask!” Gu Mingzhou said helplessly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was completely out of energy.

Finally, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He staggered and fell with the light cocoon.

Bang!

Dust flew everywhere, and Gu Mingzhou created a deep pit.

“Even if you’re unhappy with me, you don’t have to hurt yourself, right?” a purple glow suddenly flew out from Gu Mingzhou’s right shoulder. Master Qin said as he floated above his head.

“You think I want to do this?” Gu Mingzhou said weakly as he lay in the deep pit and weakly pulled the light cocoon.

The current him didn’t even have the energy to curse.

“You were fine just now. How did you become so weak in the blink of an eye?” Master Qin flew around Gu Mingzhou curiously and asked in confusion.

“Stop talking nonsense. Aren’t your healing methods quite powerful? Quickly help me heal! Otherwise, we’ll all be dead when those people catch up!” Gu Mingzhou used all his strength to shout.

“It seems that you’ve shed all pretenses of cordiality with that group of people? Master Qin, I, don’t have to pretend to be mute anymore.” Master Qin was inexplicably excited and kept talking.

Even though he said that Master Qin did not stay idle. As he spun around Gu Mingzhou, he scattered a purple light.

As the purple radiance descended, the void that was enveloped by the purple radiance started to tremble.

The purple light did not cover a large area, just enough to accommodate Gu Mingzhou’s entire body.

After the purple light passed through the surrounding origin energy, it gradually became pure and gentle. It entered Gu Mingzhou’s body and replenished his dried meridians.

As the purple light enveloped Gu Mingzhou, a powerful life force instantly grew in his body.

Coupled with the crazy influx of pure elemental energy, Gu Mingzhou’s serious injuries began to heal rapidly.

In an instant, it was as good as new.

“Phew! It was so magical! Previously, you were only able to heal injuries, but now, you’re actually able to recover origin power!”

Gu Mingzhou jumped up from the ground and exclaimed as he felt the surging elemental energy in his body.

“Back then, when I, Master Qin, was at my peak, I was an existence that ruled the world!” Master Qin stopped the purple light and said arrogantly.

“I said you’re great, and you really took it.” Gu Mingzhou said helplessly.

“Are you doubting Master Qin? In the past…” Master Qin was immediately unwilling and started to complain.

“Stop! I was wrong, okay?” Gu Mingzhou heard that Master Qin was about to reminisce about the past, so he quickly interrupted him and changed the topic.

“By the way, Master Qin, can you break this light cocoon?” Gu Mingzhou pointed at the huge light cocoon not far away from him.

The light cocoon was still emitting gentle white light, and there were also traces of golden light surrounding it.

However, Gu Mingzhou was not in the mood to appreciate this beautiful light cocoon.

He was attracted by the person imprisoned in the light cocoon and was even worried.

Previously, Jing Wudao had used his cultivation to forcefully send Gu Mingzhou five kilometers away, wanting to let Gu Mingzhou escape alone.

It was a pity that Gu Mingzhou didn’t want the tragedy to happen again. Thus, when Jing Wudao’s power disappeared, he immediately turned around and flew back.

He saw Shangguan Fei release endless golden threads and imprison Jing Wudao in the light cocoon.

This was why he still wanted to take the light cocoon away even though he knew even using the instant talisman would likely be discovered by Shangguan Fei.

After all, the person imprisoned in the cocoon of light was very important to Gu Mingzhou.

“Who do you think I am? I’m not a silkworm. How would I know how to break out of the cocoon?” in the face of Gu Mingzhou’s question, Master Qin seemed very unhappy and said with some dissatisfaction.
