The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C401

Chapter 401: Ah Gu, nothing more than three

The blue clouds were like ink, covering hundreds of miles of mountains. Countless purple snake-like electric fires stirred up gusts of wind between heaven and earth.

Rumble…

On the cliff that was riddled with holes like ants’ nests, a seven-square watchtower was standing on the top of the mountain like a mountain needle. Gu Mingxin was wearing a wide black robe and was walking along a stone path toward the topmost watchtower with cliffs on both sides.

The left sleeve of the robe was empty, swaying slightly as she walked. Her left arm was hung around her neck by a black belt, and half of her face was wrapped in a brown bloody bandage.

“…”

After leaving Jiang Mojiao, she went to find fellow demon cultivators, hoping to find a safe place to recuperate, and then return to the Eastern Domain as soon as possible to report the events in the Northern Domain to the elders.

However, who would have expected that Ye Anping had already told the Han Tian Kingdom the locations of almost all the demon cultivators in the Han Tian Kingdom?

Three god-transformation stage cultivators headed by Han Tian Kingdom’s Imperial Master, together with nearly seventeen Nascent Soul cultivators of the Royal Guard, and hundreds of core-formation and foundation-building immortal cultivators, set up a trap against them.

Initially, those who were sent to the north by the Six Demonic Cultivation Sects were the disciples of the Core Formation Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. If their positions were not exposed, they would be able to fight using guerrilla tactics, and they would be able to annoy Han Tian Kingdom to death. However, once their positions were exposed, they were like fish on a sticky plate, having no choice but to be slaughtered by the Royal Guards.

In the process of escaping from the Northern Domain, she also met one of the cultivators in the transformation stage of the Han Tian Kingdom.

She was lucky at that time. During her escape, she met several other demon cultivators in the Core Formation stage.

Those few people helped her lure away the god-transformation cultivator and most of the chasing royal guards. If not, she might be directly separated from her Ye Anping.

Almost all of her injuries were sustained while escaping from the Northern Domain.

Huhu…

The howling cold wind blowing from outside the mountain blew over the frosty cheeks and stirred the black hair around Gu Mingxin’s ears. As if she felt something, Gu Mingxin suddenly stopped climbing the ladder. The face that had been looking down at the ground slowly lifted and looked at the corner of the path ahead——

At the corner of the mountain road was standing a six-square pavilion leaning against the cliff. A man wearing the black uniform of the Heavenly Demon Sect was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion. The man looked like a mortal young man in his twenties, with a well-proportioned body, and purple eyeshadow under his eyebrows, giving him a sense of yin and yang.

——He Ji Ming, the youngest son of the great elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect, was in the middle stage of core formation just like Gu Mingxin, but he was nearly forty years older than Gu Mingxin.

Sensing that Gu Mingxin had arrived, He Jiming reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the stone table, filled an empty wine glass with blood-colored liquid, and handed it over:

“Junior Sister Gu, you’ve had a hard time traveling to the Northern Domain. It’s cold there. Senior Brother heard that you were back, so he specially prepared some Breitling deer blood that was squeezed out just this morning. How about a cup of it to warm yourself up?”

Gu Mingxin had no expression on her face and didn’t answer. She glanced at him and continued toward the top of the mountain. However, when she just walked through the pavilion, He Jiming stood up directly, came behind her, and patted her on the shoulder:

“Huh? Junior Sister Gu, are you so anxious?”

Gu Mingxin looked sideways at his face, with a hint of killing intent in her red eyes:

“…”

“Okay, okay, junior sister, don’t be angry, it’s not good for your recovery.”

Jiming gave up and quickly took two steps back with a cup filled with deer blood, “It’s just… senior brother has something to do with this matter in the Northern Domain…”

Gu Ming was speechless: “…”

“I heard that someone exposed our identity, provoked our enemies, and caused a lot of commotion. The black market in the Northern Domain was filled with rewards. In the end, Han Tian Kingdom followed this incident and wiped out all the disciples of the six sects of the Demon Sect who were sent to the Northern Domain.”

“What do you want to say?”

“Hey~. It’s not what the senior brother wants to say, but it’s spread throughout the sect now,” He Jiming said with a smile on his face, “It was junior sister Gu who secretly accepted bribes from the Han Tian Kingdom and deliberately exposed this matter… …”

“…”

Speaking of this, He Ji Ming hesitated for two breaths, raised his eyebrows in slight surprise, and asked, “Hey? Junior Sister Gu, won’t you refute?”

“I do not mind.”

“Junior Sister Gu is alone. As a direct descendant of ‘Hell’, she doesn’t eat immortal meat and doesn’t keep male pets. Apart from the Heavenly Demon Heart Art, she lives like an immortal cultivator. Junior Sister doesn’t care what others say, but I don’t know if the sect leader cares that his successor is a lackey…”

When Gu Mingxin heard this, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and interrupted, “If Master thinks I am guilty, I will accept the punishment. There is no need for you, a careless loser, to nag me.”

“Hey… Junior sister, you can…”

Gu Mingxin didn’t give him a chance to speak, narrowed his eyes, and interrupted, “Don’t forget. Five years ago, when you were in the early stage of core formation! When you were fighting to the death with me in the middle stage of the foundation establishment, you finally knelt on the ground and begged me for mercy not to kill you. All the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect witnessed it. Don’t forget how Elder He pleaded with you in front of the sect master.”

“…”

Silence–

There was a brief silence.

Then…

Rumble——

In the dark clouds above, a purple thunder-snake illuminated the entire mountain peak. Almost instantly, He Jiming took out the spirit sword from his storage bag, but when he held his spirit sword, the tip of a blood-colored spirit sword had already followed his slightly open lips and stuck to the surface of his tongue.

Jiming’s eyes widened, looking at Gu Mingxin with his left hand hanging on his chest, and in an instant she put the spirit sword into his mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief.

She was so seriously injured, how could she…

There was no trace of movement on Gu Mingxin’s face, her eyes were dull, as if she was looking at a wild dog grinning at her. The blood-colored spiritual sword in the palm of her right hand was motionless, not even slightly swaying.

“Disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect, speak with your sword, not your mouth.”

As the sound fell.

Swish——

“Uh–!”

The sword blade cut He Ji Ming’s left cheek. Half of the tongue, carrying a pillar of blood and a wine glass filled with deer blood, flew out in the direction drawn by the sword and fell from the cliff on one side of the mountain road into the abyss.

He Ji Ming couldn’t help but take two steps back, covering his cracked left face, glaring at Gu Mingxin like a hungry wolf. However, Gu Mingxin gently shook off the dirty blood on the spirit sword, took it back into his soul, turned around, and continued walking along the stone stairs to the peak:

“My master makes his own decisions regarding my matters. Just because Master can speak to me, doesn’t mean you can too.”

“…”

The sound gradually dissipated in the wind, and Gu Mingxin’s back gradually faded away, disappearing around the corner in front. Drops of blood dripped from the gap between He Jiming’s palm and face, leaving little black marks on the python leather boots.

He Ji Ming stood there for a long time until a “Buzzing” sound reached his ears. A red-haired old man in black robes came up from the abyss below the road, wielding a sword with a living tongue, and came to He Jiming.

Although the red-haired old man looked calm, his tone was full of anger:

“Unfilial son, kneel!!”

“Ah, wu…” He Ji Ming was so frightened that his knees bent, and he immediately knelt, cupped his hands lowered his head, and pointed in the direction where Gu Mingxin left, “Wu ah ah wu wu ah wu…”

“Look at your virtue!”

The red-haired old man stretched out his hand to make a claw, sucked He Ji Ming into his hand, clamped his neck, stared angrily, then grabbed his tongue, stuffed He Ji Ming into his mouth, and then let him land on his feet.

“Go home, don’t embarrass yourself here!”

“Ugh… It seems like——”

Although He Ji Ming was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to say anything more. He handed over his hand and gave the order, then turned into a red light and flew toward one of the peaks of the Heavenly Demon Sect. The red-haired old man took a deep breath, then turned his head glanced at the Heavenly Demon Palace above, and followed Gu Mingxin’s footsteps with both feet.

In the square in front of the Qifang Watchtower, several disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect wearing black face armor, and holding uniform iron guns, stood on both sides of the carpet-like sculptures.

Gu Mingxin nodded slightly and said, “Disciple Gu Mingxin, pay respect to the master!!!”

Then she stepped onto the bloody carpet and headed towards the double doors of the watchtower. In fact, after hearing what He Ji Ming said before, although Gu Mingxin looked very calm on the outside, she was very worried in her heart.

After returning from the Emperor Sect a few years ago, the master didn’t say anything to her. After listening to her statement, he simply started to investigate the spies of the Immortal family in the Heavenly Demon Sect.

But this was already the second time…

It would probably not save her a scolding, and if anyone else came to contribute, it might not be impossible for her master to beat her to death in a rage…

Gu Mingxin just wanted to kill He Ji to vent her anger but when she was about to take action, Xue sent a message to remind her:

“Why not, that old man is watching from above, Ming Xin, don’t be impulsive, and you have made a mistake now, go up and see your father’s attitude first. If your father’s attitude is okay, it’s not too late for you to chop him to vent your anger. .”

Therefore, she just cut out He Jiming’s tongue. If she made more mistakes now, she would die…

Dad is very scary. He is the kind of person who becomes more terrifying the calmer his voice is.

Gu Mingxin was not afraid of anything but her adoptive father. Although the bloody carpet in front of the Heavenly Demon Palace was only about thirty feet long, the closer it got to the gate of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the slower Gu Mingxin felt that time became. In this short period of thirty feet, she seemed to have walked dozens of miles. When she arrived in front of the main hall, she was exhausted physically and mentally.

Boom boom——

Rumble——

The palace door, which weighed a thousand kilograms, slowly opened to both sides, revealing half of a middle-aged man with a white mask on his face. The shadow of the door split his face into two.

Gu Yan, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, void realm, and his honorary title was: Lord Hell Yan.

Gu Mingxin quickly knelt on one knee, lowered her head, looked at her heels, and faced Gu Yan with the back of her neck:

“The disciple is silent and pays homage to her master.”

“Um…”

Gu Yan stepped across the threshold and patted Gu Mingxin’s shoulder gently. Their bodies instantly twisted, then shrank to a point and disappeared in front of the hall.

Gu Mingxin felt dizzy as if she had taken a nap, and when she woke up, she had already reached a cave.

“Tell me about the Northern Domain.”

“Yes…” Gu Mingxin came back to his senses after hearing the words, looked at Gu Yan who was already sitting on the stone chair, nodded, and replied, “The apprentice went to the Northern Domain with Brother Wu and Sister Lu, but suddenly… We were placed on a high wanted list, and were hunted down along the way…”

“Um.”

“After that, I received the Demon Summoning Order from the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect and rushed there. As a result, I was besieged by the Royal Guards of Tianfeng Immortal City, and also encountered the Xuanxing Sect’s disciples that this disciple met last time in the Central Domain.”

“Um…”

“What was the person’s name again, Yu Die? That person has the blood of the Holy Emperor.”

“Died?”

“No…no.” Gu Mingxin’s eyes dodge, “This disciple couldn’t kill her, mainly because there was another person… That person was behind her…”

Gu Yan frowned slightly and interrupted bluntly,

“Ming Xin, there are no more than three things.”

“Yes… But master, please listen to your disciple.”

“…”

“Liang Xiao Liu whom my disciple mentioned last time is named Ye Anping. When this disciple came back, she inquired about it and found out that he seemed to be the young master of the Hundred Lotus Sect. He seems to have an internal agent from the demon cultivator. This time in the Northern Domain, It was he who told Han Tian Kingdom where I and other colleagues were.”

Gu Yan listened and slightly raised his eyebrows: “Ye Anping? Hundred Lotus Sect?”

“Yes…” Gu Mingxin took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to say, “Master, can you lend me some disciples? I want to go from the Southern Domain to the Western Domain and go to the Hundred Lotus Sect to find…”

Gu Yan glanced at the map of the Western Domain hanging in the corner of the room and immediately saw the three words “Hundred Lotus Sect” as big as ants next to the three characters Xuanxing Sect.

Then he interrupted bluntly, “Excuse?”

“No… Master, that person is really…”

“How many people do you want to borrow?”

“My disciple inquired and said that the master of the Hundred Lotus Sect is only in the middle stage of core formation. If I can borrow my disciple’s three Nascent Soul seniors…”

“So, you want to give that old woman Danyue a certificate of honor to the three Nascent Soul elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect?”

Gu Mingxin’s eyes widened immediately after hearing this, and she quickly knelt again, nodding her head and defending urgently, “Ah… I have no intention of betraying my master.”

“Then tell me, how are you going to lead the three Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators into the Western Domain? Lei Wanjun and Feng Changchang guard the Eastern and Western Borders of the Western Domain. As long as you step into the Western Domain, the Xuanxing Sect will immediately know. Besides, that old woman Danyue’s star-acting skills, do you think it’s necessary?”

“…”

Gu Mingxin was speechless.

In fact, on the way back, she asked Xue to help her check the Immortal Danyue. According to what was written in the Heavenly Demon Scroll, as long as Immortal Danyue was in the “Star eye” position of Xuanxing Sect, everything in the Western Domain would be spread out in front of her like a chessboard.

She could overview the overall situation from the perspective of a chess player and know everyone’s movements through star acting.

All conspiracies would be known to her the moment they were laid, and even conspiracies would be discovered and solved early by her.

What this book said was all it takes to carve the word “invincible” on the face of Immortal Danyue.

However, Gu Mingxin had never seen star acting before. She did not believe that “acting as a star” had no flaws and that there was no perfect skill in this world.

Xue said that Immortal Danyue’s star-casting technique was only effective within the territory of the Western Domain. Outside the Western Region, she could not calculate it so accurately. This was a weakness. But if there was only this one weakness, there was still no way to deal with it.

Therefore, Gu Mingxin felt that Immortal Danyue must have something that she was jealous of and afraid of, but she had hidden it very well and had not been known to anyone so far, so the owner of the Demonic Scroll had not recorded it in the scroll.

“My disciple feels that Immortal Danyue’s star-playing skills are by no means impeccable. There must be…”

“Tell me?”

“This…disciple…disciple doesn’t know yet.”

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Mingxin, what do you think my master has been looking for these past thousand years?”

“…The flaw in her acting skills?”

“Ha…” Gu Yan twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed, “The old woman stayed in Xuanxing Sect all day long and played stars every day, how could she be exposed? Star acting can reveal the secrets of heaven, but there is no way that an old woman can peek into the level of breaking the secrets of heaven. The thing I am looking for my master is the Heavenly Demon Scroll.”

“…”

Gu Mingxin followed the master and heard this for the first time.

Xue had been nagging in her ears since she was a child, asking her not to tell anyone about the Demon Scroll and her existence, including Gu Yan. Because, before being adopted by Gu Yan, she had always been dependent on Xue, so she always listened to Xue’s words and didn’t say anything.

At that time, Xue, who was in Gu Ming’s heart and soul realm, once again sent a message to remind:

“Mingxin, I have to tell you again, never say it out loud!”

Gu Mingxin pretended to think for a while, pretending to be a little confused, and asked in a low voice, “Heavenly… demon scroll…?”

“…”

“…Master, what was recorded in the Heavenly Demon Scroll that day?”

Gu Yan looked at Gu Mingxin’s puzzled expression, narrowed his eyes slightly, and answered, “It is said that the Heavenly Demon Scroll on that day recorded everything in the world. It must also have recorded the things that the old woman didn’t want people to know, such as the things that the star performer was afraid of…”

Gu Mingxin recalled for a moment, the Immortal Danyue written in the Demon’s Scroll…

“In the year 10293 of the Ash Calendar, Immortal Danyue of Xuanxing Sect spit out the old moon and made a new moon.”

“In the year 10312 of the Rihu Calendar, the Immortal Danyue secretly blew up the Taibai Dragon Cave in the Southern Domain. All the dragon excrement accumulated for thousands of years exploded into the Taibai River, and the excrement covered the Jinshan Taibai Mountain. The Taibai Sect directed the entire sect and moved to Nanyue Mountain three hundred miles away for a temporary residence. Zu Yuan, the leader of the Taibai Sect, set a million spirit stone reward in the Four Domains to capture the person who exploded the Dragon Cave.”

“In the 12th year of the Immortal Calendar, the leader of the Wu Nian Sect gave the Immortal Danyue an ill-fitting immortal garment as a birthday gift. The Immortal Danyue gave them a group of bald donkeys and 500 wild boars as a gift in return. The leader of the Wu Nian Sect went up to Wusun and let the disciples in the sect bury them one by one in the ossuary outside the sect, and also set up a monument for each wild boar…”

“In the 49th year of the Immortal Calendar, the Taibai Sect moved back to the Taibai Mountain. The dragon excrement was cleaned up, but the reward was still there. I kind of want to tell the truth and get the reward. But I am a demon cultivator, so I can’t go.”

“In the 271st year of the Immortal Calendar, I bumped into a woman on the southern border of the Central Domain. She looked about twenty years old. She glanced at me, and I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart and ran away immediately. Thinking about it later, there was something wrong. Maybe she is Immortal Danyue of the Xuanxing Sect.”

“In the 523rd year of the Immortal Calendar, correction! Immortal Danyue should be an old woman who looks about sixty years old. She is quite short. Her eyes should be white, and she seems to have an eye disease.”

There was no definite answer to what she even looked like, it was all just random gossip…

Although part of it was indeed “unknown”…

Gu Mingxin was silent for a while and asked, “How to find the Heavenly Demon Scroll?”

Gu Yan stared into her eyes, slowed down his speech, and asked, “Mingxin, don’t you know?”

“This is also the first time that my disciple has heard Master talk about…”

“…”

Gu Yan stared at Gu Mingxin and said nothing for a long time. For a moment, there was a pin-drop sound in the whole room, and it was so quiet that it seemed like time had stopped. Gu Mingxin’s heartbeat also beat faster and faster under the passage of time and the pressure of his eyes.

Dong Dong… Dong Dong…

What would happen if I told the Master? Master has been teaching me carefully since I was a child. Although I am an adoptive father, I am better than flesh and blood, but Xue…

Xue’s voice came from the soul realm again:

“Ming Xin, don’t think about it! Listen to me, you and I share the same fate. No matter who harms you, I will never harm you. Let me tell you a story. Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and there was a cultivator on the mountain…”

Although this ethereal girl’s voice was garbled, it greatly attracted Gu Mingxin’s attention at this moment and made her mood relax.

“Master?”

Gu Yan closed his eyes slightly, then waved his sleeves, and a dark wind suddenly appeared in the room. After the black wind dissipated, the figure of the red-haired old man appeared next to Gu Ming’s mind.

Looking at the red-haired old man, Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Why don’t you group… What’s the matter?”

“Disciple pays homage to the Supreme Being.”

He Buqun bowed with his hands raised, glanced at Gu Mingxin beside him fiercely, and then replied solemnly, “There are rumors in the sect that Young Master Gu secretly communicated with the immortal cultivators, which made the Northern Domain’s task half-finished. So the disciple thought that this time, Elder Gui Mo led the Spirit Ghost Sect to besiege Donghuang, so why not let the disciple take Young Master Gu with him to help out and let her use her merits to wash away this stigma? I wonder what the Supreme Lord thinks of the disciple’s proposal?”

Hearing this, Gu Mingxin gritted his teeth and stared back. This old fox seemed to want to help her wash away some stigma, but in fact, Gu Mingxin had a hunch that as long as she followed him to Donghuang, not only would the stigma not be washed away, but it would become even more serious.

Back then, when she beat He Ji until her teeth were all over the floor, she made him, a father, gnash his teeth with hatred. On the one hand, he hated the fact that iron could not be transformed into steel, and on the other hand, he felt that she had not allowed him to stand down.

Gu Mingxin spoke quickly and said, “Master, this disciple doesn’t think so…”

But she was interrupted by Gu Yan raising his hand and asking with narrowed eyes, “Why don’t you… Why do you, an old man, have a hand in the grudges between the juniors? I saw what happened on the mountainside just now. If the person whose tongue was cut was Ming Xin, I would not decide for her. I watched you go from being a cultivator in the building stage to being the great elder now, what? Have you forgotten all the rules of the Heavenly Demon Sect?!”

“Disciple doesn’t dare! A disciple is just thinking about the reputation of Young Master Gu and His Majesty…”

“Ha…” Gu Yan sneered, “Mingxin, there are only three things you can do.”

“Yes.”

Gu Yan rubbed her fingers, thought for a while, and said, “Mingxin, ask Fu girl from the Prison Hall to accompany you to Donghuang.”

Gu Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief and gave the order, “…Disciple understands.”

He Buqun on the side heard this and had nothing to say. He cupped his hands and said, “The disciple resigns!”

After receiving Gu Yan’s nod, He Buqun’s figure turned into a ball of red light and shadow and disappeared.

Gu Ming thought about it for a while, then raised his hand again and said, “Master, regarding the matter of ‘Ye Anping’ that this disciple mentioned before, I’m afraid he has internal contacts within the other five sects…”

“Yes, I believe you.” Gu Yan nodded, “I will convey this matter to other sects… Is there anything else you want to say?”

“No more, disciple will resign.”

“Um…”
