Because of Gu Xinglan, many disciples of the Xuanji Sect felt a mixture of fear and curiosity towards him.
Apart from Cang Tong and Lei Xing, who were fearless by nature, everyone else watched from a distance, not daring to approach and speak.
This junior brother really ran into trouble today; he couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come over.
"How annoying! Who would come over in the middle of the night? Could it be the butler? I've been at the Xuanji Sect for so many days, and that heartless Old Wang hasn't even glanced at me once!"
Gu Yu sprang to his feet with a somersault, muttering to himself as he turned and walked away.
He arrived at the foot of the mountain, at the Eastern Dawn Valley, where a slender and tall figure stood in the moonlight, a black robe covering his body completely, with frost clinging to the hem.
"What do you want with me?"
Gu Yu crossed his arms and asked impatiently.
The figure turned to the side, saw him, and pulled down the brim of his cloak to reveal a porcelain-white face with a cold expression and sharp eyes.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Gu Yu's expression changed, and she stammered, "Cousin... cousin? Why are you looking for me? You... you're not going to destroy Eastern Dawn Valley, are you?!"
He looked around in panic.
Worried about hidden soldiers lurking in the shadows!
Although he knew that Gu Xinglan had always preferred to be alone...
The two are currently in a sensitive position, so contacting him at this time is bound to make people nervous.
Moreover, based on Gu Yu's understanding of her, he was genuinely worried that if they disagreed, the latter might very well destroy Eastern Dawn Valley.
Gu Xinglan said calmly, "What's the panic? I want to talk to you!"
"Hahaha..."
"Cousin, I'm busy right now. Let's chat when I'm free!"
Gu Yu gave an awkward laugh, then turned and left.
Clatter
Gu Xinglan snapped his fingers.
The space instantly froze, and he could no longer move forward a single step!
Gu Yu's expression changed slightly. He turned his head, clasped his hands together, and shook them up and down. "I'm begging you, cousin, great-aunt, ancestor, please stop looking for me. Can't you just let me stay in peace and quiet in the Xuanji Sect?"
Gu Xinglan said expressionlessly, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already making this face."
"I know what you're up to. You just want to win me over. I'm weak and insignificant; even if I followed you, I'd only be a burden!"
Gu Yu looked at Gu Xinglan, blinking her eyes, her gaze revealing an utterly genuine sincerity.
Gu Xinglan sneered, "I haven't even stated my purpose yet, and you're already making up your own assumptions."
Isn't that so?
"Are you aware of the war between the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race and the Imperial Evil Realm?"
"Is the war over?"
"Um."
"The news hasn't reached me yet. Um, who won?"
Fifteen days!!
Gu Xinglan suddenly raised her voice and gritted her teeth.
Gu Xinglan was startled. "Why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden? You'll scare someone to death!"
Gu Xinglan repeated coldly, "In just fifteen days, the Imperial Evil Realm annihilated the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race. Perhaps you're happy because your allies won."
"I'm not happy, I don't like those devils..." Gu Yu muttered softly. Gu Xinglan frowned and glared at him. He swallowed and quickly shut his mouth.
Gu Yu indeed disliked the Imperial Evil Realm.
In his eyes, Lu Yinjian was an ambitious madman, Imperial Evil Lord was a ruthless killer, and the Seven Heroes were just tools to be used wherever they were told to go...
The existence of these demons is the source of unrest in the Origin Realm.
He wants a peaceful world!
Gu Xinglan pursed her red lips and continued calmly, "Do you know how many factions are involved in this war?"
"You know perfectly well what you're asking! It's about the Imperial Evil Realm and the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race!"
"Wrong, there's one more!"
"What?"
" The Devil Subduing Realm."
"What!"
Gu Yu's eyes widened in surprise. "You got involved again? I've never heard of this before! All I know is that the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race is all bark and no bite, and is constantly embroiled in internal strife!"
Gu Xinglan smiled mysteriously, "Because of my involvement, the destruction of the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race was accelerated. If Lu Yinjian and the others had fought it, it would have taken at least three months, not so quickly."
Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat. "What do you mean? You didn't help the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race, but instead helped the Imperial Evil Realm?!"
Gu Xinglan nodded noncommittally.
The Gu Yu man was dumbfounded.
Are you alright?
He posed a question that came from the depths of his soul.
This isn't going in the right direction!
"There are some things I don't intend to hide from you. You also know that I've been collecting information on Yin constitutions. Their war has given me this rare opportunity."
"The people from the Devil Subduing Realm have been active within the Purple-Feathered Azure Luan Race, which is the root cause of their internal strife. Our combined attack with that of the Imperial Evil Realm has accelerated the demise of this race."
" Lu Yinjian was unaware of all this; he was probably still basking in the glory of his newfound power at the Imperial Evil Realm. After this battle, I gained three million Yin-type individuals!"
Gu Xinglan's lips curled up, unable to contain her joy.
Gu Yu felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily shook his head.
The Devil Subduing Realm and the Imperial Evil Realm, the two strongest forces at the time, joined forces. Which race could withstand such a blow!
"So, you're telling me this just to show off your achievements?" Gu Yu frowned.
"Soon, the final battle will arrive. As my cousin, you're not on my side, and I won't force you. But..."
"As your cousin, I have a duty to protect you. If anything happens to you, I will feel guilty every time I think of your aunt and uncle. They entrusted you to me, and I will not stand by and watch you get hurt."
Gu Xinglan lowered his head and sighed.
Gu Yu said, "How did you know I would get hurt? I was well protected at the Xuanji Sect!"
"Yeah?"
As Gu Xinglan spoke, he flicked his finger, and the Gu Yu instantly floated into the air!
He screamed.
"Sister! Cousin! Great-aunt! Ancestor, I was wrong, put me down, my head is going to be cut off! Father, Mother, help me..."
Gu Yu immediately began to cry and beg for mercy.
"You're useless!" Gu Xinglan rolled her eyes and put him down.
"Who can be as successful as you? The Lord of the Devil Subduing Realm, how awesome and amazing!" Gu Yu couldn't help but mutter.
"What did you say?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just said, cousin, you're so kind-hearted and beautiful! So... cousin, who possesses all the virtues in the world, could you please let my little brother go back?"
Gu Yu blinked hard, trying to put on a pitiful look to gain some sympathy.
" Xuanji Sect is too dangerous, come with me."
"With you gone, I'll be the safest place in the Xuanji Sect..."
"What did you say?"
"..."
Gu Yu pursed his lips, no longer daring to be cheeky.
Gu Xinglan snorted and waved his hand. In an instant, the stars shifted and the world spun around. Gu Yu felt dizzy and disoriented. When his mind returned to normal, he found himself lying on a strange piece of land!
