Starting as a Snake: Defying Heaven with Invincibility

It turns out, besides the tenth-level shielding formation, there was an even larger innate-level shielding formation. The tenth-level formation was merely a decoy to mislead him, making him underestimate the opponent.

The tenth-level killing formation was hidden beneath the innate-level shielding formation, allowing it to deceive the heavens and cross the sea!

He had been completely fooled!

"Ugh!" Thinking of this, Gu You was so furious that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Liao Huoyun was initially stunned by the scene before him, then burst into uproarious laughter.

"Hahaha! Gu You, even you have a day like this! Your own formation killed your own people. Truly eye-opening! Haha!"

Liao Huoyun laughed heartily.

"What did you say!" Gu You glared at him.

"Haha! Wasn't this killing formation meant to deal with my Fire Cloud Sect? How did it end up being used on your own people?"

Liao Huoyun laughed, but as he calmed down and thought carefully, he was also slightly stunned, showing an incredulous expression.

A formation killing its own creator—what a bizarre occurrence. Even he wouldn't believe it if he hadn't seen it himself.

Both of them thought of one person, the masked man!

"This formation wasn't set up by our sect! Your people weren't killed by me!" After a while, Gu You finally revealed the truth.

"What!" Liao Huoyun was dumbfounded.

"That person set up the killing formation, wiped out your elders, and framed me. That's how it is," Gu You said through gritted teeth.

In the distance, Xue Wuqing also suddenly realized.

At that time, he was breaking through in the illusion formation and saw the shadow of the Vulture but overlooked one thing: he was in a peak tenth-level illusion formation. Creating an illusion would have been effortless for the opponent.

Only upon careful reflection did he realize that they had all been played.

Gu You's face turned ashen. He thought he had calculated everything perfectly, only to be outsmarted. The Hidden Poison Sect's century of accumulation was destroyed in an instant.

Gu You finally paid a heavy price for his arrogance!

"Ahhhhh!" Gu You roared to the sky, "I am not reconciled!"

Liao Huoyun no longer had the strength to roar. After his soul was injured from wielding the Fire Cloud Sword, he was already at his limit. Even if he could recover, his strength would be greatly diminished, at best a quasi-innate expert.

He had no intention of seeking revenge on the masked man.

The plans were seamless, one linked to another, without any flaws. The opponent, seemingly an insignificant ant, had analyzed both his and Gu You's psychology so thoroughly, playing the two major sects like fools. Compared to him, so-called "detectives" were a joke.

Moreover, the opponent's other identity made him even more despairing—a third-grade alchemist!

Shaking his head, Liao Huoyun sighed and said to Xue Wuqing, "Xue Wuqing, return to the sect! Don't provoke that masked man again!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" Xue Wuqing gritted his teeth, feeling extremely unwilling but helpless. Seeking revenge now was simply wishful thinking.

Even his lifelong nemesis, the Vulture, had died under the killing formation. What could he do?

The two turned and left, with Gu You not stopping them. Besides, he had lost an arm, severely weakening his strength, making it impossible to stop them even if he wanted to.

Today's battle ended in mutual destruction, with the villain gaining the upper hand.

He seemed to see the mocking smile of the person hidden behind the scenes, as if ridiculing his foolishness and ignorance.

"I know you're still hiding below, come out!" Gu You roared in anger.@@novelbin@@

"Oh? Gu You, do you still want to seek revenge on me?" A voice drifted over, and a white figure appeared in front, quietly staring at him.

This figure wasn't physical but a phantom formed by condensed Spiritual Qi, resembling Xiao Long's appearance from his past life.

Gu You's eyes narrowed. Condensing Spiritual Qi into a human figure with such exquisite control was beyond even him. Only an alchemist or formation master could control Spiritual Qi to such a degree.

However, this also provided information that the opponent was hiding nearby. If he could find the exact location, he might capture him.

"I just want to ask, who are you, and why did you scheme against me?" Gu You's voice was filled with anger.

Xiao Long sneered, "Scheme against you? From the beginning, wasn't it your Hidden Poison Sect that wanted to capture me and force me to refine pills for you? I merely used some small tricks to retaliate."

Gu You's face stiffened, unable to refute, as that was indeed their intention.

"Also, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're using your spiritual sense to probe around, trying to find where I'm hiding. To be honest, I'm ten miles away from you now, so stop wasting your efforts," Xiao Long mocked, seemingly reading his mind.

"You!" Gu You's face turned red, realizing that in front of the opponent, he was like a clown.

Yet, the opponent's strength wasn't even greater than his, and this sense of frustration almost made him spit blood again.

"Despicable scoundrel, if you have the guts, come out! Hiding behind the scenes, what kind of person are you?" Gu You shouted angrily.

"Hahaha!" Xiao Long seemed to hear the funniest joke, mocking, "And what kind of person are you? Just an Innate Martial Master daring to call yourself the Poison King, unable to even protect your own subordinates. You might as well disband the Hidden Poison Sect to avoid further embarrassment."

"You!!!" Gu You pointed at him, his finger trembling, finally unable to hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Xiao Long laughed so hard he was doubled over, his stomach aching from laughter.

"Die!" Gu You, unable to bear it any longer, raised his hand to disperse the phantom, only to see the phantom stop laughing and say to him, "I didn't stay to exchange nonsense with you, but to discuss something."

"If you agree to this, I can take over the Hidden Poison Sect for you, and within a year, elevate its strength to the top of the four major sects."

Hearing this, Gu You's hand paused midway, his eyes flickering.

We are bit.ly/3iBfjkV, find us on google.

If anyone else had said this, he would have dismissed it as a joke, but coming from the opponent, he had to believe it, for he had the capability.

A third-grade alchemist, coupled with an innate-level formation master.

If such a person wanted to help the Hidden Poison Sect, how could it not prosper? Moreover, if he was willing to help, it meant there would be opportunities for contact in the future. Once in contact, no matter how many schemes, wouldn't they fall into Gu You's hands, ready to be manipulated?

Thinking this, a strange gleam flashed in Gu You's eyes, and he nodded with a light smile, "Alright, whatever it is, just say it, and I will fulfill it."

"This matter, you can accomplish."

Hearing this, the smile on Gu You's face widened.

Xiao Long stared at him, coldly saying, "I'm curious about how much experience I can gain from killing an Innate Expert, so let me kill you."

Gu You thought he had misheard and quickly asked, "What did you say?"
