Gu Yuanqing was deeply wary of the Guixu Alliance.
But his wariness was entirely different from that of Wei Zhao, Wei Yuan, and the others.
He cultivated the Heaven and Earth Great Dao, not the path of Rule Divine Artifacts. Fundamentally, whether the Ancient Gods returned would not affect him.
Anything unrelated to a Dao struggle or life and death was a minor matter.
What did it matter to him whether the so-called Ancient Gods or the Divine Court ruled the Fa Yuan Realm?
As long as they did not affect him, that was enough!
Put another way, even if the Ancient Gods ultimately won, should he dislike their conduct, he could simply kill them and set things right—provided he had the strength.
Without sufficient strength, everything was empty talk.
He could only believe half of what Wei Zhao said.
The Divine Court and the Ancient Gods were already at odds. Standing on the opposing side, Wei Zhao would naturally offer information favorable to himself. How could he possibly reveal everything?
At least so far, there had been no direct conflict between Gu Yuanqing and the Guixu Alliance.
Indeed, if the Guixu Alliance truly needed the Myriad Dao Returning Flow Talisman, what harm would there be in giving it up?
Everything depended on how the Guixu Alliance approached him.
That included the earlier matter of Wei Yuan and his son Wei Zhao hoping to use Gu Yuanqing to resolve the threat posed by the Demon Lord's avatar. Had they explained everything or offered an exchange of benefits, Gu Yuanqing might well have been willing to help. It would have benefited both sides, so why not?
But they had chosen the wrong path, intending to force Gu Yuanqing into entanglements of karma. How could he possibly agree?
For no other reason
