Ning Yuechan

"May I ask how to address you?"

Gu Qingshan was truly curious and asked the golden-armored woman.

The woman hesitated slightly and said softly, "I am Ning Yuechan."

It really was her!

The world-renowned Ning Yuechan, the Heavenly Peak Holy Maiden Ning Yuechan, the stunningly talented Ning Yuechan.

The dream lover of all male cultivators, Ning Yuechan!

Ning Yuechan was silent for a moment, waiting for the familiar exclamations, the ardent gazes, and the cheesy, loud vows.

Every time she encountered young male cultivators, almost without exception, they would fall into this routine.

These male cultivators seemed to forget that Ning Yuechan was stronger than most of them and didn't need their eager protection at all.

But they couldn't be blamed, because standing before them was Ning Yuechan.

Gongsun Zhi also waited for a moment, to give Gu Qingshan time to perform.

After all, the other party had gotten rid of the Earth Element Demonkin Legion, relieving them of their predicament, and they had to acknowledge this favor.

But they waited for a while, and Gu Qingshan didn't move, didn't speak, didn't react.

Huh?

The two looked over in surprise and saw Gu Qingshan standing there with a grave expression, his thick, mountain-like eyebrows almost knitted together.

This is a strange fellow, Ning Yuechan silently commented.

Gu Qingshan couldn't be blamed, because the scene before him was completely unexpected and didn't match history at all.

He was completely lost in thought.

How could these two people, who are about to fall, be together?

What went wrong with history?

Including Gu Qingshan, all the players didn't know that these two would actually be together before their fall.

In historical records, they died in places far apart from each other.

But now, it didn't match at all.

Gu Qingshan became tense.

Distorted history was full of unimaginable and bizarre mysteries, and the shadow of death was approaching step by step.

The Earth Element Demonkin Legion surrounded these two, indicating that the Demon Army had discovered them again.

For Gu Qingshan, who was focused on escaping, even if Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan let him go, he wouldn't be able to escape far with his speed.

Then, when the Demon Army launched their assassination, as long as there was a slight mistake, Gu Qingshan, a Qi Refining stage cultivator, would die.

What should I do to save my life?

Gu Qingshan forced himself to calm down.

The Saint Dao Sect and the Heavenly Peak Sect were thousands of miles apart, and the two major sects didn't have much contact.

Gongsun Zhi was a senior, and Ning Yuechan was a rising star. According to historical documents, the two had no intersection in their lives and had never even met.

If that was the case, the two of them being together was likely because they were carrying out a military mission together.

Yes, that's right, they must have some mission, or they had completed something.

This matter must be very important, which was why the Demon Army sent out such a powerful force to search for their traces everywhere.

Tomorrow, Gongsun Zhi would fall first—falling in his own large-scale defensive formation.

In this way, he was deliberately attracting the Demon Army's attention to cover Ning Yuechan's retreat.

Ning Yuechan would fall one day later, very close to the Human Race Highlands.

She was almost about to escape back into the Human Race's sphere of influence, but she was caught up by the Five Great Demon Generals and died after fighting for a day and a night.

For a full day and night, she didn't even send back a single Communication Talisman, so no one came to save her.

Gongsun Zhi would rather die to let Ning Yuechan escape, but Ning Yuechan was besieged and killed, and no one came to save her until her death.

Such a bizarre thing, if one didn't know it in advance, no one would believe it.

Not to mention another mystery—what exactly did they do to make the Demon Army chase them so frantically?

In the previous life, these amazing secrets, along with their fall, were completely buried in the long river of history.

But!

However!

The location is wrong!

This place is clearly far away from where they fell. Even with Gongsun Zhi's strength, he couldn't reach the place where he fell at full speed.

This is too absurd and completely incomprehensible.

Wait.

A flash of light suddenly appeared in Gu Qingshan's mind.

"I have seen the Holy Maiden," Gu Qingshan cupped his fist slightly and asked impatiently, "When I was in the military camp, I saw Faceless Giants and Blood-Drinking Demons passing by. Were they chasing you?"

Ning Yuechan waited for a long time, and what she got was such a question, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She didn't have time to think too much and replied, "At first, they chased us very closely, but later, for some reason, they passed us by, so we changed direction and came here all the way."

Gu Qingshan thought for a long time, and finally reacted, and took out the blood-colored jade tablet.

So that's how it is.

The Demon Bird he killed was carrying the latest information about the two of them.

The Demon Bird was killed by him, and even the corpse was burned, so the Faceless Giant did not get the latest location guidance.

By mistake, Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan escaped that chase.

That's why the two deviated from their original fate and appeared here.

——So the problem lies with him.

He is like the butterfly flapping its wings, causing a slight deviation in the already destined history.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and smiled wryly.

His cultivation is low, and he originally planned to avoid them in order to seek a way out.

Fate is really ironic. He didn't expect that his action would change everything.

He clearly wanted to avoid them, but now he unexpectedly met two legendary figures.

Now it's probably too late to leave.

The fate of these two is almost destined. Once they die, Gu Qingshan alone will not be able to escape the encirclement and interception of the Demons Army.

This is a dead end.

As soon as the blood-colored jade tablet was taken out, Gongsun Zhi's face suddenly changed.

With a wave of his hand, he held the blood-colored jade tablet in his hand and urged his Spiritual Power.

An eerie and illusory voice sounded from the jade tablet.

"The target is continuously shifting south, 726 to the east, 94 to the south; Order: Faceless Giants and Blood-Drinking Legion to pursue with all their strength."

Gongsun Zhi is such a smart person, after a little thought, he asked, "The Faceless Giants and Blood-Drinking Demons are chasing us, so you killed the messenger?"

"By mistake, when I met the messenger, it was injured." Gu Qingshan replied truthfully.

Gongsun Zhi carefully checked the jade tablet, and slowly let out a breath, and said, "This jade tablet is real."

He looked at Ning Yuechan.

Ning Yuechan nodded and said, "He didn't lie, my Spiritual Beast injured the messenger, but failed to keep it."

She asked again, "I see that your cultivation has not yet reached Foundation Establishment, so you shouldn't be able to catch up with the Demon Army messenger. How did you keep it?"

Gu Qingshan patted the Military Bow and said, "I have a fondness for using the bow, and I've gained some achievements in this path, so I succeeded."

Looking at their doubtful gazes, Gu Qingshan knew he had to gain their trust.

Gu Qingshan took out the Military Bow, nocked an arrow, and shot it with a raised hand.

Chaotic Dance!

Rapid Shot!

The gray shadow transformed into a stream of light, like dragons and snakes flying away.

Thwack!

More than a dozen arrows simultaneously emitted a sound, all of them nailed to the yin-yang carvings on the roof of the Taoist temple.
