The panicked Gu Zechuan moved forward all the way. He controlled his spiritual power to fly, chasing Su Zhou's pace as fast as possible, and headed to the place where the mushroom clouds rose.

The practice method of the Gu family is a universal martial art in the era of immortals and gods. The "Taibai Exploding Disasters and Breaking Tribulation Method" derived from the "Five Emperors' Right Way". It is subordinate to the metal movement and is good at cooperating with Taoist armor. Once it is armed, its combat power will be greatly improved. Therefore, in today's Qingqiu Star, the Gu family, which was originally just an ordinary person in the past, has now developed into one of the largest refuges.

However, this is the flaw of this practice. If you don’t have armor, the strength of those who practice this practice will be mediocre, and it is nothing more than just strengthening the magic weapons and weapons in your hands.

Gu Zechuan is good at armor fighting, but his sword technique can only be said to be average. According to the elder, his sword has murderous intentions and accurate heads, but he does not have a sense of "decisiveness" in his suffocational way - if he can break through this threshold, then Gu Zechuan can be called the first Gu family in this generation.

But the white-haired young man doesn't care about this title... Compared to the strongest, he cares more about the safety and happiness of his relatives.

"Looking at this, about half an hour ago, the evil spirit broke through the mountain defense formation... Now, in the shelter, it should still be fighting!"

Along the way, Gu Zechuan saw the corpses of many Gu clan practitioners. Most of them had been dead for half an hour, probably because they wanted to buy time for the evacuation of women and children in the shelter.

But the evil spirits that came this time were too strong, so they all died before they even had time to set up their formation.

It was so familiar that every corpse could tell who it was... Gu Zechuan, who couldn't bear to look at them, could even call out everyone's names. When he saw those expressions of death with his eyes closed, an irresistible thrill came from the depths of his heart.

Not willing to...regret...self-blame...

As a mesody family, the aging and growth of Qingqiu people is slightly slower than that of normal humans, and their appearance changes are almost gone before the arrival of old age. But even so, it can be seen that most of the young corpses are real young people who are less than thirty years old.

They are all the futures of refuges—and now, all of them are corpses.

"Damn...Damn it!!"

Words spit out from the gaps of teeth, and all kinds of painful emotions motivated Gu Zechuan to return to the shelter as quickly as possible: "I hope, my sister can be fine..."

Soon, Gu Zechuan, who was moving forward at full speed, and Tang Yuan came to the original entrance of the Gu Sanctuary, on the side of a small hill covered by the woods.

There was originally a natural crack that led to the underground like a crack, which was narrow and long and hidden, which was also the reason why the Gu family chose this place when they first moved.

Now, a huge pit with a radius of more than 150 meters appeared in its original location - around the pit. In addition to the corpses of many Qingqiu people, there are also many scattered black and gray... These are the many evil spirits killed by lightning when Su Zhou arrived here before.

But even so, when Gu Zechuan saw the bodies of dozens of Gu cultivators, he still couldn't help but close his eyes.

A traditional Qingqiu shelter generally lives in an entire Qingqiu family, with a population of about 700 to 1,005 people, or even fewer.

More than two thousand people are considered large refuges.

The Gu family's seclusion is one of the largest known refuges, but now there are only a population of over 4,000... Among these 4,000 people, there are only 37 armored soldiers, and there are no more than 100 cultivators who can fight. Even if the entire clan includes the reserves for the Qi Refining Spirit-Entertainment Level, there are only a few cultivators in over 500 cultivators.

Just here, including those who may have no bones left, Gu lost more than a quarter of the practitioners, most of them are young and strong, including five armored men.

——After losing so many practitioners, Gu’s refuge has no future.

Thinking of this, facing the dripping blood that might be seen, Gu Zechuan, with a gray expression, even lost the courage to continue moving forward and go to the shelter - he was afraid of seeing a scene that made him despair.

"Mr. Sawakawa, there is still a survivor here!"

And at this moment, Gu Zechuan, who was almost in a daze, heard Tang Yuan's words beside him.

He suddenly turned his head, opened his eyes wide, and looked at the position he was pointing to: it was a mound, and a dark blue Taoist armor was half hidden in the ground.

"I'll come now!"

Shocked and delighted by the news, and to divert attention, Gu Zechuan was excited and flew towards the mound.

He landed on the ground, then used his spiritual power to sweep away the dust, and swept out a Taoist armor whose breastplate had been penetrated from the mound - the wound was covered in blood, but as Tang Yuan said, the people inside also had a faint breath of life.

"Hold on, I'll treat you now... Qingshan?!"

Gu Zechuan skillfully took off the helmet of Taoist armor, revealing a Qingqiu man with dark blue hair behind him, and then he was stunned because his familiar face was Gu Qingshan, a comrade-in-arms who had been in the same armored soldiers team as him for many years.

They have performed dozens of missions together, and both sides have saved each other's lives and are true close friends.

Gu Qingshan had already stepped into the underworld with half his foot, and his right lung had been destroyed. This was not a fatal injury for the extraordinary. What really caused him to die was some kind of spiritual toxin that was so cold that it destroyed the flesh and blood.

The armored soldier was already in a state of dying at this time, and only returned to his mind when Gu Zechuan was madly instilling spiritual energy.

"Ze...chuan?" he said softly, his blue eyes turning, reflecting the tears in his friend's eyes.

"It's me... you won't die. I found reinforcements. They came from the Central Divine Court. I held on for a while until the heavenly soldiers of the Central Divine Court arrived..."

Gu Zechuan said tremblingly. He had already taken apart the breastplate of the Taoist armor, pressed one hand on his friend's wound, and began to input spiritual power, preparing to suppress the toxins for him - but the strange cold poison really exceeded his treatment scope, and it took a lot of spiritual power to barely expel a little.

Knowing his destiny very well, Gu Qingshan stretched out his hand and grabbed the other person's wrist. The Qingqiu man with dark blue hair shook his head with the last strength, and then looked at the entrance and exit of the shelter beside him.

"Don't waste your spiritual power...go inside, shelter...and..."

Gu Qingshan's hand had no strength at all, and Gu Zechuan could completely ignore the other party's advice.

However, the fox's ears trembled, and he could vaguely hear the violent fighting sounds from the depths of the underground shelter, and the white-haired young man's movements were frozen in place.

A few seconds later, Gu Zechuan gritted his teeth, and he stood up and turned to leave without saying a word.

——That’s it, Zechuan, the safety of the refuge is far more important than our own life…

The blue-haired fox man looked at his friend's back with a gratifying look and slowly closed his eyes.

However, just as Gu Qingshan's consciousness gradually faded away.

Suddenly, he felt a cold touch coming from his wrist.

Then, a feeling of illusion, turning into a ghost, spread from that touch and spread throughout the body.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and Gu Qingshan, who was surprised and suspicious, suddenly realized that his dying dying suddenly no longer suffered - he looked around in shock, but only saw a kind-looking young man holding his hand, and both of them were like nothingness in their bodies.

"Tang, Mr. Tang Yuan?"

At this time, Gu Zechuan, who noticed something was wrong, turned around and saw this scene in shock.

I don’t know if it was because of the soul or it was like this. The black-haired young man’s appearance showed an extremely unhealthy appearance, like a dead pale, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was very warm and kind.

Hearing Gu Zechuan's voice, Tang Yuan nodded slightly, then turned his head and looked at Gu Qingshan beside him.

"The minister is here, you still die, he will sulk."

He said to Gu Qingshan and Gu Zechuan so calmly, and Tang Yuan sighed: "That was the case last time - when he went to catch the poacher, a spiritual deer had been killed. Because the soul of the spirit beast was too weak and could not be saved, he was so angry that he had been in a long time. He had been in trouble with the poacher some time ago, and had forced it to drive it several times... It was really awkward and troublesome."

"Well, I've said too much. Anyway, I probably figured out why the Minister brought me here."

"Why?"

Looking at the scene blankly, Gu Zechuan asked subconsciously.

And Tang Yuan just smiled faintly.

Then, Gu Zechuan's eyes gradually widened - he saw that as the black-haired young man swayed a circle of light gray spiritual power apertures and spread in all directions, a few seconds later, the entire Gu's refuge, and the bodies of all the Qingqiu people appeared next to the bodies of the corpses of the Qingqiu people.

That is all the dead souls.

Tang Yuan's spiritual power spread and touched them, but this power not only did not disperse them, but instead stabilized their gradually dissipated bodies, and even instinctively approached the pale young man.

"After all, it is the bloodline of the Yuling Tang family... Although most of the Tang family are not good things, sure enough, no matter what strength and talent, as long as you use the right place, you can always do something good and save some regrets."

Slowly pulling all the dead souls back and gathering them beside him, Tang Yuan smiled and signaled Gu Zechuan to continue moving forward: "Don't stop here. Although the minister is strong, there is only one person. Although he can destroy the enemy, he may not be able to protect the civilians... Go and help him."

"……Thank you so much!"

Taking a deep breath and clenching his fists, Gu Zechuan stared at the comrades who had temporarily stopped deteriorating due to spiritual transformation, saved his life, and then looked around the dead souls that were gradually approaching.

He bowed deeply to Tang Yuan: "I remember the great kindness and virtue in my heart!"

"You're welcome."

Tang Yuan just shrugged at this great gift. He looked at Gu Zechuan and turned around, then rushed towards the depths of the underground shelter, and then whispered to himself: "As the minister said - this is just something everyone will do."

"After that being said, if the Minister brought me over, it was to preserve the souls of the dead and break through the barrier... Then I am too instrumental, right?"

Of course, Gu Zechuan didn't hear this complaint.

At this moment, he had already penetrated deep into the ground and came to the outer wall of the shelter, and could see that the defensive barriers surrounding the shelter had been blown up.

The defensive wall of Gu's refuge is a silver rock layer. The Gu's family uses metallic spiritual power to immerse the rock shells, causing them to gradually enrich the surrounding metals and turn them into acquired, almost indestructible spiritual iron alloy rocks, and use them to roughly wrap the entire refuge.

The hardness of the spirit iron alloy rock is so high that if it is not difficult to use in refining weapons, many people would probably use it as a weapon material - but now, such an indestructible shell has been blown out of a huge gap with a radius of about 40 meters, and the magma is still flowing at the edge of the gap.

That is the commonly used siege magic weapon for evil spirits to break through refuges, and the effect of the "Mine-drilling bomb" of the Bing Fire Thunder Method.

It can be seen that there are many fortifications and Taoist formations inside and outside the gap, but these fortifications are now destroyed, and there are a large number of evil spirits and Qingqiu people around it.

Behind the gap, energy has been lost, and inside the already dark shelter, there are still fierce bombardment and sonic booms.

Without hesitation, Gu Zechuan immediately prepared to enter.

But suddenly, in the advance of the soil, the white-haired young man sensed a terrifying pressure.

"Evil Demon!"

It was a roar - Gu Zechuan heard it, and Su Zhou's soul sound shook in the spiritual world.

Then, a huge power that was extremely terrifying, like a heavenly tribulation, was mixed with almost substantial spiritual pressure and spread in all directions.

Whether it is evil spirits or ordinary Qingqiu people, they all died in an instant, either unconscious or fell to the ground, and no one could stand upright.

Even though it was not the main target of deterrence, and was just endangered by the aftermath, Gu Zechuan still felt dizzy and almost knelt down.

——I can’t fall down here!

But...a kind of unwillingness.

A kind of belief that comes from deep down, a kind of desire to help others, and a kind of belief that he never wants to surrender, made his legs straight and persist.

Then, no longer trembling, he looked up at Gu Zechuan in the shelter and saw that in front of a huge blue-purple light ball, an ice-blue dim light spot was fleeing in a panic, and was rushing towards the exit of the shelter.
To be continued...
