Chapter 401: Divine City in Chaos 401
By the time Tang Yue and Yin Suran reacted, Gu Yang’s figure had already disappeared. With such speed, they could not catch up no matter what.
“True person Yin, what should we do? Should we pursue him?”
Tang Yue asked anxiously. As Yin Suran was the envoy of the Alliance Leader, naturally she would take the lead.
She stared in the direction Gu Yang had disappeared and said, “We can’t catch up.”
At this point, Gu Yang had already left their sensing range.
Tang Yue, realizing he’d lost his composure, explained, “The Alliance Leader gave strict orders to bring him to the Alliance. Now how do we explain this to the Alliance Leader?”
“With his strength, even if you and I joined forces, we can’t beat him. If he’s determined to leave, how can we stop him?” Yin Suran responded smoothly.
Tang Yue sighed, “He is very wary of us.”
“Don’t worry, I have a feeling he’ll return.”
Yin Suran didn’t believe that a cultivator at the divine transformation stage would undertake pointless actions.
Even though she didn’t know why the genuine person Gu was hunting divine transformation monsters everywhere, she was certain that he had some purpose.
Of course, it’s also possible that he was acting out of goodwill, seeing the world fallen to such a point and helping them eliminate the toughest divine transformation monsters.
However, the probability of this was quite low.
She instructed, “In the future, arrange more patrols on the perimeter. Once they spot a divine transformation monster, take note.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go.”
Regardless, Gu Yang’s elimination of ten divine transformation monsters in one go considerably eased the Four Directions Alliance’s pressure.
…
…
Two hours later, Gu Yang returned to Black Abyss Valley outside Huangmu City and paused.
He looked around with the Eye of the Candle Dragon, but didn’t find any trace of Xu Tianxing.
“Looks like this guy ran into trouble.”
Otherwise, Xu Tianxing would most likely be laying low nearby, and leave only when he (Gu Yang) leaves this ghost world.
Perhaps there might be one more Celestial Being level monster nearby.
Gu Yang thought to himself, and opened the Spatial Gate, leaving this world.
His goal had basically been achieved, acquiring twenty-three fragments. There was no need to stay here any longer.
The Ghostly Chart swallowed several thousand monsters a few days ago. Now, it seemed to have digestion issues and had fallen into a deep sleep. It would take at least one or two months for it to fully digest those monsters.
He didn’t want to face the Alliance Leader of the Four Directions Alliance for the time being. The demands they might make were too predictable—nothing but asking him to bring the cultivators of the Four Directions Alliance to the Human Realm.
He definitely couldn’t agree to this. It’s better not to meet at all.
Gu Yang crossed the Spatial Gate and returned to Tianfang Mountain. Taking a deep breath, he found the vitality between heaven and earth to be so pure and fresh, making him realize how beautiful the world was.
He had only spent three or four days in the Yellow Springs heavens, but he felt somewhat oppressed. Living in the Yellow Springs heavens for the long term would truly be worse than death.
Then, he took off and flew toward Divine City.
According to the previous plan, the Great Zhou’s army would launch an attack on the Barbarians’ cavalry during the Yaochi Conference.
However, he was away and didn’t know what the outcome of the battle was.
Gu Yang had faith in Su Ningyan’s adaptability, so they probably hadn’t suffered much.
But if it drags on, the situation would be hard to predict. Luo Wang probably couldn’t hold back the two Celestials by himself.
The Academy Director had to stay in Divine City to prevent Lord Chi Ming from launching a surprise attack.
Wen Jue’s cultivation level hadn’t yet solidified, so even if he stepped forward, the chances of victory were not high.
According to the last simulation, the Barbarian cavalry would reach Divine City one month later, implying that the Great Zhou troops had lost.
Given the military strengths of the two countries, such a quick victory or defeat could only mean that the two Celestials had participated and crushed the Great Zhou’s army.
It seems that they had lost all dignity.
Once one reached the Celestial Being realm, influencing the outcome of a battle was an easy task.
Five hundred years ago, when the Lin Family had a Celestial Being, the Qin Family reacted so greatly and even collaborated with all forces under heaven for a siege. This was because they knew that the Celestial from the Lin Family could subvert the Qin Dynasty’s rule.
…
Gu Yang knew that what he had to face was not merely the two Celestials from the Barbarians, but also several others coveting the flat peach.
One flat peach had stirred up winds and clouds across the world. Those Celestials who usually hid in seclusion one after another made their appearances.
This was something he hadn’t considered before.
He turned on the system.
[Would you like to use the Simulator? Using it once consumes one fragment.]
“Yes.”
