On the other side, Gu Hao had already led the group of members of the Shanhe Society to the depths of the crater.

He fell into a narrow hole** and came to a dark cavern that smelled of rancidity.

A skinny old man with deep-set eye sockets was sitting silently on the spot, breathing as if he was about to die.

"Lost?"

The old man's voice was very hoarse, and his tone was weak, sounding like a puppet talking.

Gu Hao's eyes flashed, and he denied: "Who said I lost? ”

As if he hadn't heard this reply, the old man still said to himself: "I said earlier that you are not as good as him, but now you are convinced?"

These words seemed to poke Gu Hao's sore spot, and he roared hysterically: "I said, I didn't lose, I burst out with a blow of five times the combat power, he would never be able to easily defuse it, otherwise how could I retreat with my whole body?"

"Five times the combat power, it's just that blow. ”

The old man slowly opened his closed eyes and stared at Gu Hao with an angry face.

Suddenly, an expression of extreme pain appeared on Gu Hao's face, and his entire body slowly floated, his eyes full of fear.

"It's good that the young man refuses to admit defeat, but you'd better be a little self-aware, the gap between you and him is at least 108,000 miles, and in a year or two, he will become an existence that you can never catch up. ”

Although the old man's whole person is like a dead tree and a diseased tree, the look revealed in his eyes shows an incomparably strong vitality.

Hearing the old man's words, Gu Hao struggled hard and said: "No, it's impossible, I'm definitely better than him, ...... better than him."

"Forget it. There was no expression on the old man's shriveled face, and after he spit out these two words, Gu Hao fell to the ground with a bang.

"I'm still useful to you, so I'll continue to pass on the work for you, at least in the current situation, so that you won't be left behind that kid. ”

Gu Hao's face was cloudy, and he struggled to get up, standing in front of the old man with fear and expectation in his eyes.

"What happened to the Jiang family's search for the Golden Fire Phantom Bird Diagram?" the old man asked.

Gu Hao didn't dare to look directly at the old man's gaze, and replied: "In four days, the existence above the Tianwu of the Jiang family will be out of the level, as long as he is out of the level, he will be able to retrieve the Golden Fire Phantom Bird Diagram." ”

"The existence above Tianwu?" the old man said disdainfully: "It's just a junior, young man, the world is bigger than you think, those strong people in your eyes, I don't have to do anything to let them die on the spot." ”

"Yes, the predecessors have all the means, and I admire them. Gu Hao said with some awe.

The old man ignored the compliment, and still said in a hoarse voice: "I already know what you said, let him go, and now I will pass on the merit for you first." ”

Boom –

Suddenly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted on the old man's body, like a big net, enveloping Gu Hao's whole person.

Suddenly, Gu Hao's whole body shone brightly, and the source qi between heaven and earth frantically converged on him.

It can be clearly felt that his combat power is constantly skyrocketing, leaping thousands of miles.

After a breath, the light suddenly converged, and the old man returned to a state of weakness.

After Gu Hao carefully felt the changes in his body, he hesitated: "Why, I still can't feel any signs of a breakthrough?"

The old man coughed lightly twice, and said with some difficulty: "The treasure behind the Golden Fire Phantom Bird Diagram is only below Tianwu and above Zhenwu can enter, before you help me find that treasure, you also want to break through?" I have locked your martial arts realm." ”

A trace of anger flashed on Gu Hao's face, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only ask respectfully: "Then won't I become a waste person who can't advance in the future?"

"Young man, it's just a Heavenly Martial Monk, what's so difficult, as long as you do things well, I will soon be able to fulfill you. ”

"Besides, with your current strength, an ordinary Heavenly Martial Cultivator is no match for you at all. ”

"Yes!" Seeing the old man's impatient look, Gu Hao didn't dare to say more, so he could only nod reluctantly.

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to him, and asked, "Did I bring anything I needed?"

"Brought, there are twenty people in total, and I also brought those rewards from the academy, which is enough for these people to cultivate for a period of time. ”

The old man nodded lightly and said, "Very good, give you three days to prepare my medicinal herbs." ”

"Yes. Gu Hao didn't dare to slack off, nodded in agreement and left.

At this moment, the old man suddenly asked, "Did that kid chase you?"

"No, I didn't feel his breath. Gu Hao replied with certainty, and he had been monitoring the movement behind him as he left.

"Hmph. The old man snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, with your three-legged cat kung fu, even if he follows you, you won't know, or I'll come by myself." ”

Gu Hao clenched his fists gently, forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and left the dark and damp cave in a flash.

"I, Gu Hao, am the first on the candidate list of the country's sons in Ximing Mansion, how can I not compare to that stinky kid, I am the strongest. ”

Outside the cave, Gu Hao gritted his teeth and shouted, his fists clenched loudly.

"You old fellow, let me do things for you, didn't you fancy my potential?"

He turned to look at the entrance to the cave and roared in a suppressed voice.

"Lin Yuan, you wait, let me meet you next time, I will definitely make you regret not being at the beginning, and let you know that you are not as good as me at all. ”

After venting for a while, Gu Hao left with hatred and went to help the old man in the depths of the cave.

Cave **, the old man saw Gu Hao's every move clearly.

"An ignorant boy, you are only a spiritual power martial cultivator, no matter how much you cultivate, you will not be an opponent of Yuan Li martial arts cultivation. ”

The old man snorted disdainfully, he didn't bother to explain the truth to Gu Hao, in his opinion, it was just a chess piece on his chessboard.

But then, there was a hint of hideousness on his shriveled face, "Lin Yuan, if it weren't for you, a stinky boy, how would I have fallen into such a miserable state?

"Why should I damage my own cultivation and improve my strength for a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky?"

"However, thanks to you, I happened to know about the Golden Fire Phantom Bird Diagram, as long as I got the treasure inside, not only my damaged divine consciousness can be restored to its original state, but also my strength can be improved. When the time comes......"

As he spoke, the old man stared at the passage to the surface, his eyes flashing with an incomparably strong hatred.

"My good brother, when the time comes, I will definitely personally slash you and put an end to the grievances between us once and for all. ”

After speaking, the old man slowly closed his eyes, his breath became vague, and he sat still in place like a dried corpse.
