#89 - Gu Changsheng is exposed
Xu Fengqiu and Lin Qingzhu were strolling through the city.
Lin Qingzhu still didn't know what Xu Fengqiu was specifically there to do.
"Have you heard? The Myriad Sword Sect is informing the major powers of the Northern Underworld Empire of the location of the Nine Nether Earth-Python in the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain. Anyone who can provide clues will be greatly rewarded."
"The Nine Nether Earth-Python? That's a terrifying existence that can almost fight the Dragon race. If it's at the Immortal Emperor level, it could turn the world upside down! One of the kings of the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain, at least a fifth-order Demon Emperor. We're nowhere near that level, why would they provoke the Myriad Sword Sect?"
"This is no ordinary matter. Does anyone know why? What happened?"
"I heard from someone that the daughter of the Myriad Sword Sect's leader seems to have gone to the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain for training. Could it be... hiss."
"Then something must have happened."
"..."
Hearing the crowd's conversation, Lin Qingzhu curiously glanced at Xu Fengqiu.
"Is this what you're here for, Young Master Xu?"
Xu Fengqiu smiled: "It's not that simple. Just cooperate with this Emperor later."
"Yes."
Jian Chaoyun led a group of Myriad Sword Sect experts, rushing towards the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain in a rage.
"Enter the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain in three days. Everyone, spread out and search. Once you discover the traces of the Nine Nether Earth-Python, do not act rashly. First, use the sound transmission talisman to gather everyone."
Jian Chaoyun reminded them.
"Yes!"
Just then, in the void above, two figures blocked their path.
"Who goes there!"
The Myriad Sword Sect stopped, glaring at Xu Fengqiu and his companion.
Xu Fengqiu clasped his fist: "Holy Radiance Empire, Xu family, Xu Fengqiu."
"Lin Qingzhu."
Lin Qingzhu clasped her fist.
Their brows furrowed.
"Xu Fengqiu? Lin Qingzhu? Xu Fengqiu! What do you mean by this?" Jian Chaoyun pointed his sword at Xu Fengqiu.
They already had a feud.
Coupled with Jian Chaoyun's burning anger, his attitude was naturally bad.
"There's something I think you'll be very interested in," Xu Fengqiu said.
"Speak."
"This Emperor would prefer to speak with you alone. Too many people, not good," Xu Fengqiu said with a smile.
"Putting on airs, these are all experts from my Myriad Sword Sect, what's not good about it? What tricks are you trying to pull?" Jian Chaoyun asked warily.
"It concerns your daughter, Jian Xueqi."
With that, Xu Fengqiu stepped into the void and turned to leave.
Hearing this, Jian Chaoyun's brow furrowed sharply.
"Everyone, wait here for this Sect Leader for a moment. I'll go see what kind of medicine Xu Fengqiu is selling in his gourd."
Then, Jian Chaoyun followed Xu Fengqiu.
"Is this far enough?"
Jian Chaoyun said.
Xu Fengqiu and Lin Qingzhu turned around.
Xu Fengqiu said: "There's something that I happened to come across unintentionally."
"Hmm?"
Xu Fengqiu said: "Qingzhu and I were traveling in the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain."
Lin Qingzhu: "..."
Hearing these words, Jian Chaoyun felt it was no simple matter.
"Speak."
Xu Fengqiu said: "I happened to see a scene where Gu Changsheng was absorbing and refining the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning."
Hearing this, Jian Chaoyun's pupils shrank violently.
Lin Qingzhu: "..."
"Jian Xueqi's body was next to him. This Emperor believes that the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning belonged to Jian Xueqi, right?"
Jian Chaoyun said emotionally: "Nonsense, Xueqi was swallowed by the Nine Nether Earth-Python. Changsheng tried his best but couldn't save her."
"Oh, then what this Emperor saw must have been fake, farewell."
"Wait!"
Jian Chaoyun stopped Xu Fengqiu.
He just didn't want to accept the truth.
But, when Xu Fengqiu mentioned the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, Jian Chaoyun knew that what Xu Fengqiu said couldn't be false.
Only he and his daughter Jian Xueqi knew about the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
Absolutely no third person.
How could Xu Fengqiu know?
Only if he saw it with his own eyes.
"Young friend Xu, please continue."
Xu Fengqiu said: "Is there still a need for this Emperor to say more? Sect Leader Jian should know in his heart. I also have a feud with the Gu family, so I made a special trip to the Myriad Sword Sect to inform Sect Leader Jian of this matter. True or false, Sect Leader Jian can decide for himself, farewell."
Crack, crack, crack—
Jian Chaoyun clenched his fist: "I won't see you off!"
He revealed an angry expression on the spot.
Xu Fengqiu couldn't be lying since he mentioned the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
Gu Changsheng was refining the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
Jian Xueqi's body was next to him.
There was only one possibility, Gu Changsheng discovered that Jian Xueqi had the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
Evil thoughts arose, he killed Jian Xueqi and stole her Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
After injuring himself, he pretended to have encountered the Nine Nether Earth-Python.
How to verify this?
Very simple!
Just see if the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning is in Gu Changsheng's hands.
If that's the case...
Then this Gu Changsheng.
Is simply a beast!
Because Xu Fengqiu mentioned the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning!
So he really had to believe Xu Fengqiu's words.
Jian Chaoyun walked back.
"Sect Leader, what's the matter?"
Jian Chaoyun said: "Let's go back first, and go to the Great Wilderness Heavenly Domain after other martial artists send news."
"Ah... Yes!"
Jian Chaoyun returned to the Myriad Sword Sect.
Jian Chaoyun returned to his peak.
It was very difficult to know if the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning was on Gu Changsheng's body.
It would be difficult to discover if he didn't show it.
But don't forget, he gave the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to Jian Xueqi.
Because it was too strong, he divided the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning into two, only letting Jian Xueqi refine one part.
He planned to let her refine the other part after Jian Xueqi became stronger.
Only when fully refined would it be the true power of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning.
But after all, it was the eighth-ranked Divine Lightning on the continent.
Even if it was only half, Gu Changsheng didn't feel anything unusual, and still thought it was very strong.
Therefore, Jian Chaoyun could use the other half of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to sense whether Gu Changsheng had the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning on him.
If there was...
Crack, crack, crack—
Thinking of this, Jian Chaoyun seemed to want to swallow Gu Changsheng alive.
Because in fact, he probably believed what Xu Fengqiu said.
Jian Chaoyun went to the Myriad Sword Sect's secret realm.
He refined the other half of the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning himself.
"Gu Changsheng, I hope it's not like what Xu Fengqiu said."
Jian Chaoyun then went to Sword Dao Peak.
"The Sect Leader is here again? Didn't he go out?"
Gu Jinhe asked.
"It was too hasty to go out, I'll prepare again, and other martial artists are looking for him, so I'll just go visit Changsheng again."
"Changsheng is resting."
Jian Chaoyun said: "Xueqi is gone, I want to adopt Changsheng as my adopted son."
"This... please."
"Hmm..."
Jian Chaoyun walked over.
Crack—
Opening the door, Jian Chaoyun walked into the room.
Gu Changsheng opened his eyes.
"Uncle Jian..."
Gu Changsheng said weakly.
"Changsheng, I brought you an eighth-order Qian Yuan Heart Nourishing Pill."
"Cough cough, thank you, Uncle Jian, Uncle Jian, Changsheng feels guilty," Gu Changsheng said weakly.
"Ah, there's no way around this, it must be fate."
"Uncle Jian, if you don't mind, Changsheng can be your adopted son."
Jian Chaoyun: "Changsheng!"
Jian Chaoyun held Gu Changsheng's hands: "Changsheng, that's what I was thinking too."
"Adoptive father."
"Changsheng..."
Jian Chaoyun wiped his tears.
"Take the pill, rest well, wait for me to avenge Xueqi, and you and I will continue our father-son relationship."
"Okay... Adoptive father, be careful."
"Hmm."
Watching Jian Chaoyun turn and leave, a sinister glint flashed in Gu Changsheng's eyes.
"Tch, I'll let you take advantage of me for a few days, and then this Myriad Sword Sect will be mine!"
Outside.
Jian Chaoyun stood at the door.
Crack, crack, crack—
He clenched his fist, his whole body trembling!
He naturally grabbed Gu Changsheng's hand on purpose.
Nine Heavens Divine Lightning, there's movement!
Gu Changsheng has Nine Heavens Divine Lightning in his body!
Jian Chaoyun almost couldn't control himself on the spot.
But he still endured it.
"Gu Changsheng, what a hypocritical, despicable and shameless beast, animal!"
"My Myriad Sword Sect took you in, is this how you repay us? Beast!"
Jian Chaoyun looked up: "I regret it, I regret it, Xueqi, I harmed you."
"Don't worry, I will use the blood of everyone in this Gu family to comfort your spirit in heaven!"
