313 An Unexpected Person
Although the dagger that Fifth Uncle Li suddenly took out did not look like a divine weapon, when it stabbed Gu Mingzhou’s body, it instantly broke through his body-protection spiritual energy and directly stabbed into his lower abdomen.
“What!” Gu Mingzhou looked in disbelief at the dagger that was more than three inches deep in his body. Anger rose in his heart. His right hand, which was already surrounded by spiritual energy, suddenly slapped out.
However, what shocked Gu Mingzhou was that when he pushed his palm out, he immediately felt that the vital essence in his body seemed to be absorbed by something and was quickly consumed.
Before his right palm could hit Fifth Uncle Li, the spiritual energy around his palm had already been exhausted and disappeared.
!!
And as the spiritual energy in his body was rapidly drained, Gu Mingzhou clearly felt tired and powerless.
The seemingly fierce palm strike had already gone limp when it hit Fifth Uncle Li’s chest. It only touched him lightly before it fell down powerlessly.
A strong sense of exhaustion hit him. Gu Mingzhou only felt his body become limp and weak, and he involuntarily fell backward.
Plop!
With a muffled sound, Gu Mingzhou fell directly on the deck.
However, he didn’t feel any pain caused by the fall. Even the wound on his lower abdomen that was constantly bleeding didn’t hurt at all.
All he could feel was fatigue, dizziness, and a strong sense of sleepiness.
“Don’t blame me for being ruthless!” a voice filled with vicissitudes of life and helplessness, mixed with helplessness and eeriness, suddenly rang in Gu Mingzhou’s ears.
The sound of messy footsteps, accompanied by the sound of discussion, came from far away and quickly approached Gu Mingzhou.
But he didn’t even have the strength to look back. He couldn’t resist the strong sense of weakness and fainting.
The dagger that Fifth Uncle Li had stabbed into Gu Mingzhou’s abdomen had been coated with a special poison. Otherwise, with Gu Mingzhou’s mortal realm cultivation, it was impossible for him to fall unconscious from a knife wound.
In other words, before Fifth Uncle Li made a move on Gu Mingzhou, he had everything planned.
It was a well-prepared scheme.
Just as he thought of this, he fell into a coma.
The feeling of fainting was very strange, and it made him fall into a deep sleep.
Gu Mingzhou didn’t know how long he had been unconscious or how long he had slept.
When he woke up again, he felt much more comfortable. All the fatigue from before had been swept away.
The sky had already turned dark.
He was tied up by a special fishing net that could seal the spiritual energy in his body.
Outside the fishing net, there was a strong hemp rope as thick as two fingers, which tied him to the wooden chair and bound his limbs, making him unable to move.
This was a stone house built entirely of stone.
There was a very small skylight on the roof, from which a few rays of light could be seen so that the entire stone house was not completely dark.
“How long have I been unconscious?” Gu Mingzhou looked up at the skylight and muttered to himself.
From the looks of it, the fishing boat had already left Qing Sea and returned to the Qingshi island that Fifth Uncle Li had mentioned.
After all, he had seen Yu before. There was no such stone house, and of course, it couldn’t accommodate such a big stone house.
Since Fifth Uncle Li had been scheming against Gu Mingzhou from the start, he could not guarantee the authenticity of the others ‘words.
Perhaps, there was no such thing as a Blue Rock Island in this place, and it was all to win his trust.
“I don’t have any spiritual energy left in my body?” When Gu Mingzhou, who had completely woken up, looked inside himself, he found that his dantian had dried up. He couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.
He really didn’t expect that he would be tricked by a mortal.
If someone in the mortal realm wanted to kill Fifth Uncle Li and the others, it would be as easy as blowing off dust.
It was also because of this that Gu Mingzhou let down his guard. He was confident that even if the other party had ulterior motives against him, he would not be able to do anything to him.
However, he did not expect that he was still overconfident.
What was wrong with that dagger?
He didn’t seem to be flustered. Instead, he gradually calmed down and began to think about the reason.
The first thing he thought of was the dagger that Fifth Uncle Li used.
The dagger that Fifth Uncle Li used was definitely specially processed.
Not only did it easily break through Gu Mingzhou’s protective spiritual energy, but it also had the ability to devour spiritual energy after piercing into Gu Mingzhou’s body, making him become like a mortal and temporarily lose his cultivation.
Creak!
As Gu Mingzhou was thinking, the dull sound of the door opening suddenly rang out.
The tightly shut stone door immediately opened, and bright light instantly shone in. A figure walked in.
He quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious. What was the purpose of these people capturing him?
“Since you’re awake, why pretend to be unconscious? Do you miss that feeling?” the person who walked in seemed to know Gu Mingzhou’s situation like the back of his hand. He stopped three meters away from him, and an extremely familiar voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Mingzhou no longer pretended to be unconscious. He looked surprised.
“It’s you?” He squinted his eyes and stared at the figure standing at the door.
Even though he couldn’t see the person’s face clearly, he could guess who the person was from the familiar voice.
Even though he had thought of thousands of possibilities, he never thought that he would actually meet them here.
“That’s right, it’s me! Are you surprised?” The person stood quietly in front of Gu Mingzhou and said lightly.
There was a sharp voice in the gloominess, and those who heard it could not help but feel a cold breeze.
“I really didn’t expect to meet you here. Was this all a trap you set up to catch me?” Gu Mingzhou saw the person clearly and even guessed the reason why the other party had set up a trap to capture him.
“The trap I set up was not meant for you only!” the man said softly with his hands behind his back.
...
“Not only me? Who else do you want to catch? What about Liu Youcheng and the others? Why aren’t they with you? Are they also your targets?” Gu Mingzhou frowned. The other party’s answer this time was a little unexpected.
“Hahaha! I like to talk to smart people. You can get it right with just a little hint. You guessed right, and you don’t have to wait long. The others will come to accompany you!” the man suddenly burst into laughter.
The silver light from the starry sky shone on his face, revealing his true face. It was Wei Lin, who had been separated from Gu Mingzhou not long ago!
The sky was filled with stars, and the moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling down silver light to resist the darkness so that the world was not pitch black.
Gu Mingzhou could clearly see that the other party was Wei Lin, whom he guessed from the voice.
Wei Lin was wearing a loose hooded robe that covered his entire body. He raised his skinny face slightly and looked at the starlight outside the door with a smile.
“What a good plan. If everyone is captured, you’ll be the only one to pass the third life’s tribulation.” Gu Mingzhou said as he stared at Wei Lin.
He would never have thought that his sneak attack and capture by Fifth Uncle Li was actually a trap set by Wei Lin.
Moreover, Wei Lin’s trap wasn’t just targeted at him. Instead, it was targeted at everyone who had entered the calamity.
