Chapter 717: Coping
In the desert .
Gu Qing Shan was currently standing in mid-air, operating a formation plate .
Periodically, light would come off of the formation plate and turn into a streak that shot itself into the vast desert below .
While watching him, Little Xi couldn’t help but speak up: “We need to hurry up, quite a few poems must’ve already been found and analyzed already”
“I know” Gu Qing Shan told her .
Little Xi muttered: “But that scorpion is so powerful, with it watching over the entrance to the labyrinth, with our current strength, it’ll be a very hard battle”
“Hm, I know” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He changed positions and continued to set up more formations .
Little Xi exclaimed: “The wardens from the Abyss of Sin are basically all at his level, some of them even more powerful than he is . With such a force watching over them, no one would be able to enter the labyrinth and bring the 3 Divine Armaments out”
“I also know that” Gu Qing Shan replied .
Little Xi reached her hand to grab his arm and shook him: “If we can’t get the Divine Armaments, you won’t be able to become a Demigod, the creature won’t be sealed again, and we might even possibly die here!”
Since his arm was shaken, the formation he was arranging got interrupted .
He couldn’t keep on arranging the formations .
So he stopped and weakly told her: “I already know everything that you just said, so I’m preparing for it right now”
Seeing him so indifferent, Little Xi felt a bit relieved .
“What are you trying to prepare?” Little Xi asked curiously .
Gu Qing Shan explained: “I can’t confirm for sure whether or not the scorpion is actually dead, so I ‘m setting up a non-lethal measure against him”
“Ever since a long time ago, I’ve always considered what I should do in case I don’t want to kill someone outright, and the result was this formation— —– this is a combination of formations that I came up with after my long years of practicing formations”
“A cultivation formation right? I know a bit about them, but I’ve never seen a formation being set up like what you’re doing” Little Xi scowled .
“Time is always changing” Gu Qing Shan replied .
He resumed arranging formations and asked her: “Little Xi, you said you sealed his creature away countless years ago, how did you do it at the time?”
Little Xi thought for a while before answering: “I just beat it and beat it over and over again, I beat it until it couldn’t resist anymore and then sealed it away”
Gu Qing Shan was speechless .
“Did the monster just stand still and let you beat it?” he asked .
“It used its countless arms trying to catch me while unleashing a sort of devastating invisible attack over and over again” Little Xi answered .
“Invisible attack?”
“Hm, I don’t know what it was, but it didn’t affect me . Everyone else as well as the Divinities seemed to be very wary of that invisible attack though” Little Xi told him .
Gu Qing Shan thought about that: “It seems you have some sort of unique power that allows you to be unaffected by the creature’s invisible attacks…”
While talking, his hands were still quickly operating the formation plate .
Beautiful and colorful lights shined all over the desert .
The lights melted together, slowly converged into one before fading into the void of space .
The formation was complete!
Gu Qing Shan carefully checked it before putting the formation plate away: “Let’s go, we need to collect more intel”
” Go where?” Little Xi asked .
“The seven Gods’ labyrinth”
“You’re going to fight that scorpion head-on?” Little Xi was surprised .
“No, I’m just asking him some questions”
“You think he’s going to answer you honestly?”
“It’s worth a try”

“… I really don’t understand what you’re thinking” Little Xi sighed .
The entrance of the labyrinth .
Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi landed .
He was holding onto Little Xi with one hand while hiding the formation plate inside his sleeves with the other .
The black-skinned man appeared, facing him again .
“Why did you return?” the black-skinned man asked .
“I forgot something” Gu Qing Shan said .
“What?” the black-skinned man asked .
“According to what the seven Gods said, if I go into the labyrinth to collect the 3 Divine Armaments, I’ll be able to seal that creature away, I think we might be able to do that” Gu Qing Shan said .
“And what are you going to do?” the black-skinned man asked .
“I discovered that the entrance to the labyrinth is hidden right under the sand dune behind you” Gu Qing Shan explained .
“Is that so?” the black- skinned man grinned .
“That’s right, so how about you come with us into the labyrinth and look for the 3 Divine Armaments together” Gu Qing Shan offered .
He was carefully observing the man’s face .
His face became slacked slightly before reluctantly curving the corner of his mouth to form a smile .
“So that’s what this is about, then did you find the way to leave yet?” the man asked in a gentle tone .
Gu Qing Shan was shocked .
“I think that’s better left for after we find the Divine Armaments” he slowly spoke .
Immediately, he triggered the seal he prepared on the formation plate .

A flash of light .
A long-distance warp formation was activated!
Both he and Little Xi disappeared .
Right as they disappeared, the sound of the air being ripped apart could be heard .
Shill——–
A long black tail stinger arrived from the air, piercing the area where Gu Qing Shan originally stood, turning all the yellow sand a sickly green color, sizzling as it was melting .
“Gone? How regretful, just a bit more”
The black-skinned man muttered in a low, cruel voice .
In the desert .
Very far away .
Countless light appeared in mid air, slowly forming a 5-colored light .
As the light scattered, the figure of two people appeared in the desert .
Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi .
“Did you set up a warp formation?” Little Xi asked .
“Yep, so that we can leave whenever we want to” Gu Qing Shan replied .
The two of them stood still and said nothing for now .
After this, the scorpion’s intent not to let them enter the labyrinth was clear, ripping all pretense away .
“Now that we’re confirmed to be enemies, should we go take him on?” Little Xi asked .
“No, I’m curious about something . He was very insistent on whether or not we could leave” Gu Qing Shan fell into thought .

Little Xi told him like it was obvious: “If the creature was controlling him, of course, the creature would want to leave”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “We’re going to try something again”
Little Xi reminded him: “We really should hurry up, the others might have already found and analyzed quite a few poems of divination”
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: “The more we’re in a hurry, the less hurried we should be, let’s go”
A few moments later .
They once again stood facing the black-skinned man .
Without waiting for him to do anything, Gu Qing Shan shouted: “We found the way to leave, do you want to come with us?”
He black-skinned man was initially taking an offensive stance, but as soon as he heard this, his fighting spirit disappeared .
“The way to leave, the way to leave, the way… to leave…” he muttered again and again .
“Yeah” Gu Qing Shan offered: “Let’s go, come with us and leave this damned world”
The black-skinned man’s eyes were hollow, but still tried to make a smiling expression: “Damned world, yes, well said, we should leave”
He began to walk towards Gu Qing Shan and Little Xi .
“Wait a minute! There’s something else” Gu Qing Shan put his hand forward .
The black-skinned man instantly appeared furious, his voice becoming cruel and mad: “What? You don’t want to take me?”
“I just think that since this is such a good chance, why don’t you bring your wife and child with us as well” Gu Qing Shan smiled and said .
