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

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

  He had been pletely 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 se before him, then burst into uproarious ughter.

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

  Liao Huoyun ughed heartily.

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

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

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

  A formation killing its owor—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 perso 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 ohing: he was in a peak tenth-level illusion formation. Creating an illusion would have been effortless for the oppo.

  Only upon careful refle did he realize that they had all been pyed.

  Gu You's face turned ashehought he had calcuted everything perfectly, only to be outsmarted. The Hidden Poiso's tury of accumution 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 reciled!"

  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 iion of seeking revenge on the masked man.

  The pns were seamless, one lio another, without any fws. The oppo, seemingly an insignifit ant, had analyzed both his and Gu You's psychology so thhly, pying the two major sects like fools. pared to him, so-called "detectives" were a joke.

  Moreover, the oppo'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, feeliremely unwilling but helpless. Seeking revenge now was simply wishful thinking.

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

  The two turned a, 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 wao.

  Today's battle ended in mutual destru, with the vilin gaining the upper hand.

  He seemed to see the mog smile of the person hidden behind the ses, as if ridig his foolishness and ignorance.

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

  "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 densed Spiritual Qi, resembling Xiao Long's appearance from his past life.

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

  However, this also provided information that the oppo 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 Poisohat wao capture me and force me to refine pills for you? I merely used some small tricks to retaliate."

  Gu You's face stiffened, uo refute, as that was iheir iion.

  "Also, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're using your spiritual seo probe around, trying to find where I'm hiding. To be ho, 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 oppo, he was like a .

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

  "Despicable sdrel, if you have the guts, e out! Hiding behind the ses, what kind of person are you?" Gu You shouted angrily.

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

  "You!!!" Gu You poi him, his firembling, finally uo hold back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

  Xiao Long ughed so hard he was doubled over, his stomach ag from ughter.

  "Die!" Gu You, uo bear it any longer, raised his hand to disperse the phantom, only to see the phantom stop ughing and say to him, "I didn't stay to exge nonseh you, but to discuss something."

  "If you agree to this, I take over the Hidden Poiso 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.

  If anyone else had said this, he would have dismissed it as a joke, but ing from the oppo, 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 wao help the Hidden Poiso, how could it not prosper? Moreover, if he was willing to help, it meant there would be opportunities for ta the future. On tao matter how many schemes, wouldn't they fall into Gu You's hands, ready to be maniputed?

  Thinking this, a strange gleam fshed 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 aplish."

  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 gain from killing an Innate Expert, so let me kill you."

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