Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1266 - 150: Aftermath

No wonder, in her mind, the ancestor’s remnant spirit awakened, and clashed with the newly arrived ancient remnant spirit, as they found each other distasteful, engaging in a fierce battle in her "mind," causing Gu Pan’s temples to throb.

At this moment, Xie Xiaochan, who was reminded, also realized that she was short of a butcher on her side.

After a brief hesitation, she immediately returned and extended an invitation to the two.

Seeing their apparent hesitation, Xie Xiaochan said directly: "Haha, it’s actually not very safe for just the two of you to act here alone."

"Don’t you have others? Wouldn’t it be rude for us to join abruptly?" Gu Pan frowned and said.

Xie Xiaochan patted her chest and said: "Don’t worry, they are just accessories, and the triggers are brought by me. I’m the team leader, with absolute authority."

"~" Lu Bingwei lightly raised her eyebrows to glance at this heir of the Female Void Palace without speaking.

"This..."

Gu Pan was still hesitating, but Ning Xin, after a moment of silence, inadvertently glanced at Xu Shu beside her, then nodded and said: "Alright, since that’s the case, let’s continue to fulfill the contract."

Seeing her intend to agree, Gu Pan thought for a moment and didn’t persist, and the group immediately agreed to travel together.

At this time, the moon was at its zenith, and from the entrance of the church came a series of chaotic, noisy chanting sounds.

Those "personified" believers mostly knelt at the plaza in front of the church hall, conducting frenzied masses to praise the Mother Goddess, vaguely hearing angry shouts of men, screams of women, howls, pleas, and cries.

It’s obvious they were performing some forced sacrificial ritual.

Playing the role of evil fanatics were the "personified," and victims were likely also "personified."

Having just gone through tribulations and deeply experienced the church’s eerie terror, Xu Shu and others had no interest in going to explore further, wanting only to stay as far away as possible—especially Xu Shu.

Had it not been for Xie Xiaochan’s firm assurance that she made adequate preparations and was clear about the secret realm, Xu Shu might not have wanted to go at all.

Now that Tai Chu Scroll’s resurrection times have been used up, there’s only one life left!

Moments later, in a quieter corner of the corridor, Xu Shu and the others reunited with Yan Huoxing and his group, who had been waiting here.

Upon meeting, naturally, everyone exchanged pleasantries, and Yan Huoxing laughed heartily, coming up to congratulate and inquire if anything good was found, but seeing things didn’t seem right, he quickly swallowed his laughter.

"...Brother Xu, what’s going on? Where are the others? Are they gone?" Yan Huoxing quietly transmitted a message.

Xu Shu admired: "Brother Yan, what sharp eyes you have, seeing right through it."

"That Dragon Elephant buddy also died?"

"Mm." Xu Shu nodded.

Yan Huoxing gasped in shock: "Damn, see! I told you, Black Hearted Rose is incredibly poisonous, traveling with Dragon Elephant leads to nine out of ten deaths! Brother Xu, we really are going to fall into the hands of women."

Xu Shu glanced at him: "Then why don’t you go talk to her?"

"No, no, forget it," Yan Huoxing hurriedly waved his hand, retreating far away from Xie Xiaochan.

Meanwhile, although Ning Xin appeared determined, seemingly having completely emerged from the grief of losing a loved one, Ning Zhaoxuan, Jiang Biyun, Xiao Yingrong, and Yan Shan insisted on coming over to offer verbal comfort.

Upon hearing the unfortunate news of the others, they truly shared the feeling.

After all, in their view, the status of the deceased Ning Ze, Qianfa, and others in the team was no different from their own in the team.

’Gulp! Is this the outcome of teaming up with a Human List Expert far exceeding ourselves? What happened to relying on the strong to carry us? When danger strikes, it’s always us weak ones dying!’

The four felt immense sorrow, surrounding Ning Xin with lamenting empathy, almost hugging her to cry bitterly together.

"What are they doing?"

Gu Pan, excluded by the few, watched in bewilderment.

Xu Shu commented: "This is probably the mutual sympathy between the weak. Teacher, you’re too strong, haven’t experienced the sorrow of the weak, you don’t understand."

"..." Gu Pan’s mouth twitched.

The nonsense that I haven’t experienced the sorrow of the weak! Don’t underestimate me, I’ve been oppressed all along too!

But on second thought, she suddenly felt Xu Shu’s words made sense.

If it weren’t for this kid’s outstanding performance, strength, and incredible talent, I probably wouldn’t have taken him as a student. Of course, compared to me, he’s still a bit lacking. Although he seems currently stronger, it’s only because he’s transcended sooner. One day, I’ll surpass him and restore the teacher’s prestige...

Gu Pan felt a surge of emotions and walked silently to the side, sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating but actually joined in the intense verbal spat in her mind.

Now there were two ancient remnant spirits in her mind, and the new one seemed restricted after leaving the church, unable to attack me, indicating she’s definitely suppressed by something, has her power diminished? Or...

No matter what, this is good news for me. Originally worried about being usurped by the ancestor directly, now it seems I’m saved, not only saved, but also hopeful to seize even greater opportunities!

Hehe, in the future, I’ll stomp both the ancestor and this guy beneath my feet, becoming the unparalleled figure in Gu Family’s history, croak!

Gu Pan squinted her eyes, as malice brewed within her heart, determined to leverage skills of balancing interest to seize the greatest benefits and strengthen herself!

Thinking thus, she delved into her mind, observing the endless collision between the white fur coat and the single-horned Kui Niu sword tomb in the "sea of awareness," and suddenly said: "Stop fighting! I have a proposal, how about us making a deal?"
