When Hu Xiaobei felt its presence so clearly, it also sensed Gu Yan's array rapidly approaching.

In that instant, it felt a strong sense of threat...

It possessed spiritual wisdom and could clearly feel the danger drawing closer...

It knew that this time, it might really not be able to rival them.

...

"Just before, I distinctly sensed a familiar presence. Why has it disappeared now?"

Previously, it almost got completely subdued by Gu Yan and the others, but at the last moment, it sensed an absolutely familiar presence.

It thought its ally had arrived, so it unleashed a powerful force at the last moment, breaking through the confinement in one fell swoop.

This outburst allowed it to break free from the confinement but also caused it significant harm, so it knew this time it might truly be doomed.

"Perhaps this is my fate!"

With spiritual wisdom, it muttered quietly...

The next moment, it suddenly became excited again because, at that instant, it once more sensed that familiar feeling, and this time, it felt it approaching closer!

"Is this... an illusion?"

Muttering thus, it focused more intently on sensing it.

Soon, it confirmed that it was not an illusion, but reality...

It cried!

After carefully sensing it, it truly felt like crying directly...

As it was about to cry, the corners of Hu Xiaobei's mouth curled into a slight smile because Hu Xiaobei realized he successfully communicated with it...

Previously, Hu Xiaobei worried this communication might not be smooth; now, he knew his earlier concerns were unfounded...

Because this communication was indeed not difficult...

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly began interacting with it, and soon, Hu Xiaobei was all smiles!

Hu Xiaobei discovered it genuinely wanted to leave with him...

Knowing its thoughts, Hu Xiaobei was happily preparing to respond, but soon, Hu Xiaobei's expression turned grim.

This was because, at that moment, Hu Xiaobei heard it expressing its inner voice...

"You're... you're joking, right!"

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei quickly asked again out loud...

At this moment, as he asked, Hu Xiaobei's face was full of urgency, truly hoping it was joking with him...

Sensing Hu Xiaobei's shock, it nonchalantly continued, "I also wish I were joking with you, but in reality, I'm not! I'm really about to dissipate!"

Hearing it say it again, Hu Xiaobei's heart sank, "What... what is going on here? Wasn't everything fine before?"

"Yes! Everything was indeed fine before! But earlier, when resisting the opponent, I consumed too much energy! Thus, I'm truly severely injured, so if you hadn't appeared, I was preparing to dissipate on my own!"

"This..."

Hearing such a detailed explanation, Hu Xiaobei was filled with rage!

At this moment, Hu Xiaobei knew the real culprit was The Valley of the Wicked...

Instantly, Hu Xiaobei hated The Valley of the Wicked even more!

"Don't be too sad! Now, fully merging with you is a good thing; all these years, I've been lonely here!"

Hearing this, a slight sense of loneliness surged in Hu Xiaobei's heart!

Hu Xiaobei knew it had indeed been extremely lonely before...

"Don't worry, I'll definitely avenge you properly afterward!"

Taking a deep breath, Hu Xiaobei spoke briefly but resolutely...

"Alright, I'm relieved hearing that from you!"

Hearing this, Hu Xiaobei prepared to say something more but felt it starting to merge with him frantically...

Pain!

This fusion made Hu Xiaobei's Dantian almost explode, so in a short time, Hu Xiaobei felt absolute pain!

However, Hu Xiaobei said nothing because he knew he must endure it now...

Now, if he couldn't hold on, it would really become problematic...

As Hu Xiaobei bore through it, the three people standing beside him had their eyelids twitch fiercely...

This was because, at that moment, they truly sensed the utterly terrifying aura emanating from Hu Xiaobei...

"This is too terrifying!"

Muttering thus, they quickly and frantically retreated...

As they were so stunned, Gu Yan outside the array frowned deeply...

Instantly, the smile on Gu Yan's face almost vanished.

This was because he could scarcely feel the aura of that Wood Series True Qi.

"What... what's going on? Could it have hidden away? That's impossible; even if it hid, I could definitely sense it!"

Gu Yan's abnormal demeanor was noticed by everyone, so instantly, they curiously spoke up.

"Grandmaster Gu, what... what's wrong?"

"Yes, Grandmaster Gu!"

They were genuinely anxious because Gu Yan's expression was truly unsettling.

Hearing them curiously speak up, Gu Yan slightly frowned and raspingly said, "Something seems wrong inside the array!"

"Problem? What problem?"

"Yes, yes!"

Glancing at their utterly anxious faces, Gu Yan gravely said, "I also don't know exactly what went wrong; anyway, I can't feel that Wood Series True Qi now!"

"What?"

Dumbfounded!

Hearing this, they were utterly dumbfounded!

For they knew precisely what this meant...

Seeing them dazed, he said nothing and continued to earnestly sense...

"Grandmaster Gu, you're... you're joking, right!"

"Yes, Grandmaster Gu, how could it not be sensed! It was evidently there before!"

"Yes, yes!"

Unacceptable!

They truly couldn't accept it, so shortly after the shock, they anxiously spoke up again...

Feeling incredibly frustrated, Gu Yan heard them speak again and frowned deeply...

Soon, Gu Yan directly roared madly, "What? Do you think I'm lying to you? Do you think I need to lie to you?"

Hearing such a wild shout, they knew Gu Yan was indeed furious now...

They shrank their necks and dared not say anything more...

Seeing them all lower their heads, Gu Yan said nothing more but continued to stare at the array, sensing meticulously...

Initially, he still felt nothing, but gradually, he had a clearer sense.

"Hmm? That Wood Series True Qi hasn't disappeared; it seems it was absorbed by someone!"

Thinking this way, the figure of Gu Zhentian emerged in his mind!

He knew if anyone among those four had the qualification, it would be Gu Zhentian...

"No, I can't let Gu Zhentian get this benefit for nothing!"

Thinking about how those True Qi would insanely boost his power once absorbed, Gu Yan felt jealous...

Therefore, he decided to interrupt Gu Zhentian's plan...

Having thought this through, Gu Yan took a deep breath and quickly dismantled the operating array...

Everyone was startled by Gu Yan's actions.

But thinking Gu Yan had a reason for doing so, no one said anything, just quietly waited, and soon, the operating array quickly disappeared...

"Finally can see the situation inside!"

Muttering thus, they quickly looked over and were instantly dumbfounded...

Because what appeared before their eyes were not Gu Zhentian and others among the family, but Hu Xiaobei and others...

"This is impossible! This... this is absolutely impossible!"

As they were incredibly shocked, Gu Yan's hysterical roar sounded from behind...

Quickly, they turned around, and at that moment, they saw Gu Yan staring fixedly at Hu Xiaobei and others, his eyes blood red, as if they were about to bulge out in the next second...
