Chapter 96

"Try to break out of my restrictions if you can," Gui BuGui chuckled, turned his head, and looked at Wu Mian who was still lying on the ground, continuing to speak to the fake prisoner tree, "You can also try to fight me again, but don't say I'm bullying the younger generation. Next time, I'll fight back..."

After Gui BuGui finished speaking, the fake prisoner tree in the air seemed to disappear, no longer making any sound. Gui BuGui didn't intend to pay attention to it anymore. The old man said to Wu Mian, who was lying on the ground, "Think about what I said. As long as you nod now and promise to talk things out in the future without using force, I'll go and catch Guan Wuming for you, and you can do whatever you want with him."

After Gui BuGui appeared, Wu Mian gave up on getting up and just lay on the ground. After Gui BuGui finished speaking, he suddenly laughed without any warning. After the laughter, Wu Mian looked at the old man and said, "If I agree now, I won't even believe myself, let alone you. Besides, your magic was sealed by Xu Fu. Now, you rely on Yan Aihou to pass you power. Do you really plan to live here relying on Yan Aihou? Do you remember? The method to break the seal is on the map, and only I know the locations of the remaining parts of the map. You still have a long journey ahead with me..."

After Wu Mian finished speaking, Gui BuGui was silent for a while. Just as Wu Mian was about to say more, the old man suddenly jumped up from the ground, turned in mid-air, and shouted at the air behind him, "Guan Wuming, do you know who you defeated? Even your master Guangxiao would call him 'Ancestor.' You dare to defy your master and ancestors. Today, I'll send you to the cycle of rebirth for all the gods in the sky..."

In the middle of his speech, the old man suddenly disappeared from the spot. A moment later, a burst of fire appeared about ten zhang in front of Wu Mian, and a person was thrown out of the fire, landing heavily on the ground. As this person struggled to get up, Gui BuGui appeared in front of him, lifted his foot, and stepped on the person's chest, looking at him with a smile, "You even fooled me, old man. I didn't recognize you face-to-face. I didn't expect Guangxiao to go to such lengths this time, even sacrificing you."

Gui BuGui was deliberately showing off. The position where he restrained the person was directly facing Wu Mian. The person under the old man's foot was no longer in the form of the prisoner tree. Although his face still had some burn marks, his appearance was now clear. He was in his thirties, with an ordinary face, but he had snow-white hair.

Compared to this white-haired man named Guan Wuming, Wu Mian was more amazed by Gui BuGui's abilities. The old man had been with him for a few years. Although he knew Gui BuGui was from the same era as Guangren and had seen him use his magic a few times, comparing it to the helpless Guan Wuming under the old man's foot, his own magic was vastly inferior...

However, seeing the old man's smug look as he stepped on Guan Wuming, the admiration Wu Mian had just felt instantly vanished.

"Do you see this person? He is the one who just transformed into the prisoner tree. His name is Guan Wuming, once known as the best among Xu Fu's granddisciples..." But now, this best granddisciple was under Gui BuGui's foot, drenched in sweat, with his white hair plastered to his forehead, looking extremely disheveled.

Although under Gui BuGui's foot, Guan Wuming still had some resentment. After a few heavy breaths, he said to the old man above him, "Uncle Gui, you are my senior. Isn't this a bit of bullying the young?"

"What about your act of defying your master and ancestors?" Gui BuGui smiled at Guan Wuming under his foot, then added more pressure, "You can defy your master and ancestors, but I can't bully the young? Guan Wuming, do you think all the good things belong to your master Guangxiao? But to be fair, you have some courage. Changing your appearance and daring to appear in front of me, I didn't expect that."

While speaking, Gui BuGui glanced at Wu Mian. Seeing his frown deepen, the old man understood Wu Mian's thoughts and quickly changed the topic. After a pause, he continued, "Guan Wuming was personally chosen by that old man Xu Fu and studied under him for seven years. Among his generation, except for Huoshan, no one spent as much time with Xu Fu as Guan Wuming. However, Huoshan's talent was limited, and he couldn't withstand the elixir of immortality. Later, he relied on his master Guangren's power to become immortal, but it was still far from the true elixir of immortality..."

At this point, the old man looked at Guan Wuming under his foot and continued, "But Guan Wuming is different. He, like you and me, is one of the few who can adapt to the elixir of immortality. He is also the only one with white hair among the Guang generation. However, after Guangren took the elixir of immortality from you, I'm afraid there are new white-haired people now..."

Being the only one with white hair among the Guang generation and having studied under Xu Fu for seven years, this already far surpassed other peers. However, Wu Mian still didn't understand what good fortune the Guangxiao family had to have such a disciple.

Before Wu Mian could speak, Gui BuGui had already answered his question, "When Guan Wuming first became a disciple, I saw it with my own eyes. This young man originally wanted to be Xu Fu's disciple, but Xu Fu said his master-disciple relationship on land had ended. Later, Guan Wuming was accidentally picked up by Guangxiao. Over the years, Guangxiao has been talking about breaking away from the Fangshi sect, and having such a talented disciple has a lot to do with it..."

"Yes, in terms of disciples, Guangren has Huoshan, and I have Guan Wuming. Even if we break away from the Fangshi sect, we have the ability to create a new sect..." Before Gui BuGui could finish, a figure suddenly appeared from the forest, walking towards Gui BuGui and Wu Mian, and said as he walked, "Brother Gui, I'm asking for mercy for Guan Wuming. Please let him go."

"I knew you wouldn't let this go..." Gui BuGui looked at the figure without surprise and said, "You must have read the bamboo slips Guangren wrote. Now that you know Duanzheng is in our hands, are you a bit regretful? If you were still a Fangshi, with Duanzheng, you might have a chance to compete with Guangren for the position of Grand Master. Now, you can only watch. The position of Grand Master is open to everyone in the Guang generation, except you..."

The figure that appeared was none other than Guangxiao, who had recently broken away from the Fangshi sect and was almost killed by Wu Mian with the Storing Heaven Pearl. However, it seemed an invisible wall blocked his path, and Guangxiao could only stand a few dozen zhang away from Gui BuGui. After performing a half-bow, he slowly continued, "Just a Grand Master, what's there to compete for? You're right, I'm no longer a Fangshi. Compared to the title of Grand Master, I'm more interested in building a new sect."

At this point, Guangxiao paused, glanced at Wu Mian, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Mr. Wu Mian is a rare genius. If you don't mind, how about we each take half of this new sect? The Fangshi sect is full of hidden turmoil. I'm confident that within a hundred years, we can surpass the Fangshi sect. From then on, only our sect will exist in the world, and the Fangshi will be a thing of the past."

At this moment, Wu Mian finally gritted his teeth and shakily stood up. Looking at Guangxiao in the distance, he said, "You say I'm already an ancestor of the Fangshi. Do you think I would go with you to create a new sect? But if you want to stay here, it might be possible. According to my calculations, Guangren's second wave of people is almost here..."
