Outside, Gu Yan slightly furrowed his brows!

He stood outside the array, so he couldn't clearly see the situation inside the array...

As such, Gu Yan could only judge the exact positions of those eight people through their auras...

Right now, he had determined through these auras that 'Hu Xiaobei' and three others were infighting...

"I don't know why they are infighting, but I can guess it's probably because 'Hu Xiaobei' wants to use the other three as scapegoats, and they're unwilling, leading to the conflict!"

Thinking this way, a trace of sneer appeared on the corner of Gu Yan's mouth...

In his view, people from the Hidden Family are like this; normally appearing noble and righteous, but when it comes down to it, their true nature is completely exposed.

Seeing the mocking smile on Gu Yan's face, the eyes of those from The Valley of the Wicked lit up, and then they quickly gathered over.

Previously, when the array was operating, they couldn't see what was happening inside, so they were very eager to know the situation inside...

They knew that the only way to learn about the situation inside was to ask Gu Yan, so they quickly gathered over at this moment!

"Grandmaster Gu, is everything... everything still going smoothly now?"

"Indeed, Grandmaster Gu!"

As they asked, everyone stared intently at Gu Yan...

Hearing such anxious questions, Gu Yan slightly frowned and said, "What are you worried about! Of course, everything is going smoothly. With me here, could there possibly be any accidents?"

"Yes, yes, yes! We overthought it!"

Embarrassingly agreeing, they quickly relaxed...

The next second, they whispered again, "Then... then Zhentian and the others from our family are okay, right? Those four are the future of our family, and if anything happens to them, it would really be troublesome!"

Hearing this kind of question, Gu Yan frowned and said, "Nonsense, of course, they're okay! They are family with me; I certainly wouldn't harm them. It's Hu Xiaobei and others I'm dealing with now."

"That's good, that's good!"

While they were relaxing, inside the array, Gu Zhentian was fiercely opposing the three others...

At the beginning, there was some back and forth, but soon, Gu Zhentian couldn't hold on at all!

Honestly, his strength was a bit stronger than theirs, so if it was just a competition, he really wasn't afraid of them...

But now, the three were not just sparring, they were fighting for their lives...

This kind of desperate fighting truly made him panic...

"Damn it, if I had known, I wouldn't have used such a reckless and extreme plan earlier!"

Gu Zhentian really regretted it at this point...

But it's too late for regret now, because reconciling was impossible...

At that moment, none of them noticed the four turbulent auras completely surrounding them...

Just like that, in a few seconds, the four of them were completely consumed...

"So hateful, I'm so hateful!"

Being consumed, they all went crazy with rage...

But at this moment, such madness was meaningless, and a few minutes later, they were completely devoured...

Outside the array, Gu Yan started to laugh maniacally!

"Haha, it's done, it's done, 'Hu Xiaobei' and their auras are completely gone, completely gone!"

"Wonderful!"

Hearing Gu Yan's distinctly excited cheer, everyone from The Valley of the Wicked also cheered along with excitement.

Soon, they looked at the array and said, "Grandmaster Gu, now... can we start preparing to subdue that Wood Series True Qi!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Gu Yan confidently and loudly said, "Of course, now the array has absorbed the strength of those four, growing immensely, so we naturally can!"

"Good!"

Hearing such an arrogant response, they rubbed their hands happily...

They knew that if it succeeded, it would truly be great news...

Because if they could fully subdue that Nine Wood True Qi, the family's strength would increase tenfold, and by then, even if the Four Great Hidden Families came knocking, they truly wouldn't be afraid...

Feeling their excitement, Gu Yan squinted his eyes slightly, then calmly said, "Alright, you all step back a bit, I will begin."

"Okay!"

They quickly agreed, and then promptly stepped back a few paces.

With a chuckle, he laughed wildly, "Hu Xiaobei, even though you all are dead, you still made contributions! Don't worry, I will remember you well after this is over!"

After saying this, he began to manipulate the array, discovering its power had indeed increased significantly.

Inside the array, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

"Captain, what's up?"

Always watching Hu Xiaobei, those three saw the smile on Hu Xiaobei's lips and quickly spoke up.

"Nothing, just that the main event is about to start!"

Hu Xiaobei said this mysteriously and then looked expectantly at the distance...

The reason Hu Xiaobei was willing to get involved in this muddy situation before was actually for the Wood Series True Qi...

He didn't know what the Wood Series True Qi was exactly, but he felt it was really suitable for him, so he really wanted to obtain it...

Previously, at the moment he saw the array, Hu Xiaobei understood its effects and also realized Gu Yan's malicious intent.

After knowing, Hu Xiaobei didn't hurriedly expose it...

Instead, he chose to use their own plan against them...

Because Hu Xiaobei knew only this way could teach them a valuable lesson and also quickly get close to that familiar Wood Series True Qi.

While Hu Xiaobei was waiting expectantly, Gu Yan outside began to manipulate the array to approach the deep cave not far away...

Hu Xiaobei and others naturally followed the array closer to this extremely deep cave.

At this instant, Hu Xiaobei felt that absolutely familiar feeling...

"This is the feeling! Yes, this is the feeling!"

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei sincerely admired...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei began to open his mind and communicate with it...

Hu Xiaobei knew he could fully open up here because Gu Yan outside the array couldn't sense his existence...

...

"Captain's aura is terrifying now!"

"Indeed!"

When Hu Xiaobei released all the hidden Nine Wood True Qi, those three's eyes twitched heavily...

At this moment, they realized that Hu Xiaobei indeed hadn't shown his full strength before...

"No wonder the captain was so confident before, turns out... turns out the captain's power is truly that terrifying!"

Whispering this softly, they stepped back a few paces...

Previously, they worried about being trapped and possibly unable to leave, now they were completely unworried...

Right now, Hu Xiaobei didn't know their thoughts, he was fully focusing on communicating with that Wood Series True Qi...

Hu Xiaobei knew it had now attained spiritual wisdom, so the difficulty of communicating with it wasn't particularly high...

"Yes! I felt it!"

Soon, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up with excitement because, at this moment, he truly and clearly felt its existence...
