433 The Elimination Plan
In the short span of a few breaths after Gu Xi left, waves of ripples appeared on the distant horizon. Immediately, over ten streams of light appeared at the spot where the two of them were exchanging blows.

“As expected, someone had been fighting here.”

“Moreover, from the looks of it, they should have just left not too long ago.”

More than ten figures spread out in the surroundings, spreading out their spiritual senses one after another, trying to find any clues.

These people were the guards responsible for maintaining the order of the Grand Sect Competition. If they discovered that anyone or any sect had violated the rules of the competition, then they would have the right to deprive the other party of the right to participate in the Grand Sect Competition.

What made them somewhat disappointed was that they did not find any traces after searching around.

“How dare they make trouble right under our noses?” A middle-aged man who seemed to be the leader snorted coldly. He looked around at the destroyed environment and continued in a deep voice. “Go back and investigate carefully. Once you find them, immediately expel them!”

“Yes!” The rest of the people nodded in agreement. Then, they left in a hurry in the direction of Lanjiang City.

At the same time, at the gathering place of the Blood Spirit Society in Lanjiang City.

“Third Brother, What’s wrong with you?”

In a luxurious inn room, a man wearing a dark red long robe also spoke with some surprise.

Among the seven people of the Blood Spirit Society who participated in the Grand Sect Competition this time, they were divided into ranks based on the strength of the members in the team. from high to low, it was the leader to the Seventh Brother. and the one who spoke at this time was the leader of this team, also known as the Boss.

The man known as the Third Brother was the red-clothed man who had fought with Gu Xi earlier.

Other than the two of them, there were five other figures scattered around the room. Other than one of them who had a slightly round figure, the other six people present seemed to be carved from the same mold at first glance.

“That Gu Lan’s strength is somewhat unexpected. With my strength, I can’t easily finish him off. Instead, I fell into his trap and almost lost my life.”

Third Brother suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but he was still somewhat unconvinced in his heart.

The two of them were both at the intermediate Saint stage, and their cultivation realms could be said to be about the same. If Gu Xi had not played a trick in the dark, the outcome of this battle would not have been decided so easily.

“This Ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion… When did they have a disciple with such strength…”

Looking at Third Brother, who was seriously injured, Second Brother frowned, and his expression was somewhat puzzled.

In their eyes, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was just a business sect. Even though it was known as the number one chamber of commerce sect in the world, it was just a business association. However, the disciples sent by this business sect to participate in the competition, they were actually able to completely suppress the other first-rate forces in terms of strength.

Although the red-clothed man who had fought with Gu Xi was only the Third Brother among the seven people, in terms of realm and strength, the Third Brother’s level was almost completely superior to most of the first-rate forces’ disciples on the Eastern Continent. Of course, this did not include some sects or clans that lived in seclusion all year round.

“He seems to have noticed my identity.” Right at this moment, Third Brother spoke again, causing the other people present to be stunned.

“What do you mean?” The Boss frowned, and a bad premonition immediately welled up in his heart.

“Of course, it means what it says.” Third Brother coughed a few times and sat down on the ground.

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the room fell into a dead silence.

“You mean that Gu Lan already knows that we’re not human?” a moment later, Second Brother asked suspiciously, wanting to confirm this news.

Third Brother nodded tiredly, and everyone’s eyes fell on the Boss.

Boss was not only the strongest person in their team, he was also their leader. Under special circumstances, Boss’s words had the power to decide.

“What should we do now?” Fifth Brother could not help but ask.

“In the next few days, keep an eye on Gu Lan’s every move. Once there’s a chance, immediately wipe him out. If there’s no suitable opportunity, then look for an opportunity in the competition.”

The Boss spoke coldly. The air was already filled with the faint smell of blood. “Since he’s representing the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to participate in the Grand Sect Competition, then it’s naturally for the quota to go to the Central Plains. Since that’s the case, then in the coming competition, we’ll have a chance to become opponents sooner or later.”

As the Boss’s voice fell, other than Third Brother staying behind to recover from his injuries, the rest of the people nodded. Their figures gradually became transparent until they finally disappeared from the spot.

What they needed to do now was to keep a close eye on Gu Xi and be prepared to wipe him out at any time.

Since Gu Xi was very likely to have discovered their true identity, they naturally would not allow him to continue living in safety. After all, only dead people would not speak carelessly.

Lanjiang City, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Gu Xi sat cross-legged in his room. A faint spiritual energy lingered around his body. As he breathed, if one were to observe carefully, one would discover faint traces of Blood Qi being expelled along with his breathing.

These were the consequences of accidentally being invaded by the Blood Qi in the air when he fought with Third Brother. If he did not expel these seemingly unremarkable Blood Qi out of his body in time, then these Blood Qi would begin to erode the spiritual energy and even the organs in his body. This was the sign of a slow death.

Fortunately, Gu Xi discovered it and expelled the hidden danger in his body in time.

“I don’t think those guys will give up just like that.” After an unknown period of time, Gu Xi slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the previous fight.

Although the members of the Blood Spirit Society had failed for the first time, it did not mean that they would give up on attacking him.

Similar to the members of the Blood Spirit Society, Gu Xi was also surprised by the strength shown by Third Brother.

Only one person in a team of seven possessed such strength. If the seven of them were equally strong, the seven of them would be able to sweep away all the competitors participating in this Grand Sect Competition.

“As expected of the outer realm demonic race that can invade Four Continents at the same time. They are really difficult to deal with!”

Gu Xi slowly stretched his back. He did not think much about it and once again entered into a cultivation state.

In the next few days, it could be said that he did not leave his house. He stayed in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion at all times to recover from his injuries and his consumption. The members of the Blood Spirit Society had been waiting outside for an opportunity to wipe Gu Xi out, and they felt a little helpless. As such, they could only place their plan to eliminate Gu Xi during the Grand Sect Competition.
