Chapter 527: Ah Gu, I Miss You
On the edge of the Blood River in the Eastern Domain, Yueluo Gorge.
Huh-huh-
Among the uneven mountain gorges, the blowers operated by human power emitted bursts of dragon breath, conveying evil spirit energy to the giant alchemy furnace suspended in the air by iron cables in the center.
The sound created could be heard clearly even outside the canyon.
In a watchtower on the top of a mountain outside the canyon, seven outer disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect were sitting around an iron pot hanging on the stove, stewing the bones of the monster beast they had just hunted in the forest.
Bang bang…
“Come! Senior brother, junior brother gives you a drink.”
“Junior brother, you’re welcome…”
The sound of glasses clinking against each other was constant as the glasses were pushed and replaced.
“Speaking of which, have you gone to see Mr. He who came to our place a few days ago?”
“What’s wrong with him?”
“That bloody aura is terrifying. He has been fasting for a year, and when he walked in front of me, I was so frightened that I peed right away.”
“Is it that exaggerated? But I seem to have heard that Young Master He took hundreds of disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and wiped out the Beiming Sect directly a few days ago. This is true.”
“It’s hard to say whether it’s true or not, but it’s not a good thing that Master He has come to our place.”
“How do I say this?”
“You see, now that the Demon Sect wants to block the immortal cultivators on the northwest and south sides, it already lacks manpower. At this time, the Great Elder has sent Young Master He to our Yueluo Gorge. Doesn’t that mean that the Immortal Sect is preparing to beat us at Yueluo Gorge.”
After hearing this, one of them immediately waved his hand and retorted:
“No matter how prosperous the Immortal family is, it is impossible to take advantage of Yueluo Gorge. This Yueluo Gorge has no spiritual veins, no resources, and is not an important gateway. We only have a blood elixir furnace… What’s the story of the Immortal Family’s plan to hit Yueluo Gorge?”
“Then why did the Great Elder send Young Master He here?”
Everyone was silenced by this question.
At this time, a “Ding-ding” sound of iron bells came into the watchtower.
Because everyone was silent and did not speak, everyone present heard the sound.
Jingle Bell……
Jingle Bell–
“Bell?”
One of them stood up and followed the source of the sound towards the window.
However, he just stood up and took a step.
Swish——
A ray of silver light flashed directly on the back of his neck.
A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect who had just called him a brother suddenly had a sword in his hand. The remaining five people were also stunned. They stared at the man in disbelief and asked:
“Hey!! What are you doing?!”
“You kid… Uh–!”
But what answered them was a bloody sword.
Swish——
After just a few sword rays, only one of the seven Heavenly Demon Sect disciples who had been gathering around to drink and eat meat was left standing.
“Ah…”
The man looked at the corpse of his senior brother and sneered, then threw the sword aside, walked to the window of the watchtower, opened the window latch, stepped back ten steps, and saluted.
The next moment, four people, two men, two women, jumped out of the window and entered the watchtower.
Ye Anping glanced at the six beheaded disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and then looked at the man who saluted him without saying anything.
A demon cultivator in the core formation stage wearing a ghost mask who came in with Ye Anping and the others took out a bag of spirit stones from his storage bag, took a step forward, threw it into the hands of the disciple of the Demon Sect that day, and said coldly:
“The promised reward.”
“Thank you… Then I’ll take my leave first.”
That day, the Demon Sect disciple weighed the bag of spirit stones in his hand, nodded in agreement with a sly smile, then turned around and prepared to go down the stairs and leave the watchtower.
However, the moment he turned around, the Demonic Cultivator of the core formation stage who was traveling with Ye Anping suddenly drew his sword and split him in two from the center of his eyebrows to his balls.
Swish——
Then he stepped forward, picked up the bag of spirit stones that had fallen into a pool of blood, shook the blood, and put it back into the storage bag.
Seeing this scene, Ye Anping didn’t react at all, but Gu Mingxin and Feng Yudie behind him raised their eyebrows in surprise, while the others twisted their eyebrows in confusion.
The masked man looked around, then turned to Ye Anping and bowed his hands:
“Young Master Ye, I can only send you here. Yueluo Gorge is not an important place, and the Heart-Destroying Palace has no spies here. The rest of the matter will only depend on you, Young Master Ye.”
Ye Anping naturally responded with a gift:
“Well, I’m done.”
The masked man nodded, then walked straight to the window, climbed out of the window, and jumped out. In an instant, he disappeared among the goose feather snow outside, and his breath disappeared without a trace.
After he left, Feng Yudie looked at the corpses of demon cultivators in the room and asked:
“Young Master Ye, wasn’t this one of theirs just now? He was killed like this?”
Ye Anping smiled and patted the snow hanging on Feng Yudie’s clothes and explained:
“This person was probably bribed by Heart-Destroying Palace with spirit stones. It is completely untrustworthy. Instead of letting him take the money and leave, it would be better to bury him directly to avoid future troubles… Mo Chiling has been hiding in fear for hundreds of years. After all, if Yu Yan knows that she is still alive, she will die.”
“…It’s so cruel.”
Ye Anping smiled and shrugged, waved his hand, and threw out a ball of talismans to burn the seven corpses of demon cultivators in front of him. Then he walked to the stove, took out the roast chicken, and started roasting it.
After Gu Mingxin closed the window, she also walked over and asked:
“So, Ye Anping~ I should pretend to be your wife this time and sneak in with you as a cauldron to cause trouble?”
?
Feng Yudie was slightly startled when she heard this, then immediately walked over and asked with a frown:
“Who is Cauldron?!”
“You~”
Gu Mingxin smiled disdainfully, looking forward to his wife’s drama, staring at Ye Anping’s profile and blinking her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Ye Anping was obviously addicted to pouting. He sighed and interrupted Feng Yudie before she could curse:
“No need, there are no big restrictions in Yueluo Gorge. When my junior sister and the others arrive, we can just go in from behind.”
“Hey…” Gu Mingxin curled her lips a little in boredom, “Is it possible that you are afraid of me? That’s why you don’t want me to pretend to be your wife?~”
Ye Anping glanced at her and ignored her. He called Feng Yudie to sit next to him, handed her the roast chicken in his hand, asked her to roast it, and then asked:
“Ah Gu, He Qingjiao is your senior sister.”
“I’m not familiar with her~ I’ve only met her once or twice… What? Are you still worried that I won’t be able to kill her?” Gu Mingxin narrowed her eyes slightly, clamped Ye Anping’s arm with her chest, and asked with a smile, “Whoever you want to kill, I will kill for you. Besides… Why is she not a member of that shit… I want to kill all the He family…”
Ye Anping looked at Gu Mingxin’s eyes bursting with murderous intent, and asked thoughtfully:
“Is it?”
“Huh? Isn’t it?”
Feng Yudie saw that Gu Mingxin was so close to her Ye Anping, so she immediately moved closer to her and pulled Ye Anping toward her, causing Ye Anping to look toward her again.
Seeing Feng Yudie’s awkward expression and frowning, Ye Anping shook his head slightly, ignored the two of them, and called out:
“Xue… Xiao Tian…”
Xue poked her head out of Gu Mingxin’s forehead:
“Ye Anping, ask me to do it…”
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Tian rushed out with a kick from Ye Anping’s forehead, and kicked Xue’s nose with a flying kick, but Xue dodged quickly and quickly retracted into Gu Mingxin’s forehead. Inside, it kicked Gu Mingxin directly in the middle of her forehead.
Boom–
“…”
Gu Mingxin looked at it, a little unhappy, but before Xiao Tian could react, Xue came out from the back of Gu Mingxin’s head and hit it to the ground with a New Year’s greeting sword technique.
“Why!!”
Ye Anping looked at the two little ones and felt tired. He shook his head slightly and stopped:
“Stop it!!”
At this time, Xue also immediately stopped the wooden sword that was swinging toward Xiao Tian, who was lying on the ground with his head in his arms, and said:
“Ye Anping, it struck first!!”
Xiao Tian curled his lips and said aggrievedly: “Obviously you were the one who dismantled my bed first…”
“You two sneak into Yueluo Gorge and draw a map of the disciples’ arrangements inside. The more detailed the better.”
“Okay.”
…
——-
Deep in Yueluo Gorge.
The cold snow floated on the surface of the icy cold spring, surrounded by dark lights, only illuminated by the fire of the Pill furnace hanging in Yueluo Gorge in the distance.
He Qingjiao closed her eyes and lay on the surface of the spring, letting the evil-filled snow water in the cold spring sting her bones, but the expression on her face was calm as if he was sleeping soundly.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came.
“Young Master He… Elder Yue has something he wants to report to you.”
A little maid without eyes walked to the edge of the cold spring, nodded, and whispered.
After a while, He Qingjiao opened her eyes leisurely, walked slowly from the center of the cold spring to the shore, took out the bra wrap, and saw that her two big and round moons had been reduced to a plain, and she was wearing a man’s clothes. She walked up to the little maid with her robe and sword on her back, ready to let her lead the way.
However, just as she took a step forward, she remembered that she had forgotten something.
She quickly turned around and looked at the icy cold spring, and used her spiritual power to fish up a picture scroll with a silk base.
He Qingjiao looked at the person on the scroll, the corners of her eyes slowly drooped, and half of her cold face melted, revealing five points of “gentleness” and five points of “murderous intent”. Her eyes gradually turned ferocious, and she murmured:
“Ah Gu, where are you now?”
After walking for a while, the blind little maid noticed that she had not followed her and stopped and called out in confusion:
“Master He?”
He Qingjiao quickly suppressed her woman’s voice, nodded in response, and followed.
“Um…”
Following the little maid who led the way, she walked all the way up the plank road on the rock wall. After a while, she arrived at the door of a five-story attic.
He Qingjiao did not knock on the door to say hello. She raised her hand and pushed the door open. She glanced at the layout of the attic hall and saw an outer elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Nascent Soul Stage leading many disciples in the Core Formation Stage around a map. Beside them, they seemed to be discussing strategies to deal with the enemy.
The Heavenly Demon Sect learned the news earlier that Young Master Xiao of the Xuanxing Sect led about 700 Heavenly Cloud Peak disciples, and after crossing the Blood River, they headed straight toward the Yueluo Gorge.
He Buqun asked her to kill Young Master Xiao and the “Liang Xiaoxue” who was traveling with her, so she rushed over.
When the outer elder of the Nascent Soul stage saw He Qingjiao entering the room, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he said:
“Master He, have you had a good rest these days?”
“What do you want from me?”
“Uh…” Elder Yue hesitated for a while, lifted up his cloud sleeves, pointed to a place on the map in front of him, and said, “According to the news sent back by my disciples, six medium-sized immortal boats of Xuanxing Sect have crossed Mingshan Mountain. Yueluo Gorge is less than a thousand miles away… So I want to ask Young Master He about his plans…”
“Plan? The mission I received from the Great Elder is to kill the young master of the Xuanxing Sect and Liang Xiaoxue who is traveling with her. The rest of the matters are not under my control. This is your business, Elder Yue…”
Elder Yue took a deep breath and quickly explained:
“…Yueluo Gorge is originally a place used by the Heavenly Demon Sect to refine elixirs. There are only six to seven hundred disciples in the core-formation stage in the valley.”
“Isn’t there only seven hundred people in the Xuanxing Sect?”
“But…”
“I will kill Young Master Xiao and Liang Xiaoxue, but you can’t handle the other Xuanxing Sect disciples?” He Qingjiao looked up with a look of disgust in his eyes and said, “Elder Yue, Heavenly Demon Sect does not raise waste, you In this way, in my opinion, there is no difference between them and mice.”
Elder Yue didn’t have a bad temper either. He had only heard about He Qingjiao’s talent and that he had destroyed the entire Beiming Sect with hundreds of people.
“Young Master He, when I learned that Elder He said you would come, I thought you would come with the disciples from the inner sect of the Heavenly Demon Sect. How could I have thought that you would come here alone…”
“So?”
“Young Master He, not everyone is like you, who can ignore their cultivation and go beyond the ranks to kill immortals.”
Hearing this, He Qingjiao raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile:
“Haha… Yes, not everyone is like me and Junior Sister Gu…”
“Insanity…”
Nowadays, everyone in the sect knew that Gu Mingxin could communicate with immortals. In the past, they would respectfully call her “Young Master Gu” or “Senior Sister Gu”, but now everyone kept a distance from her and dared not call Gu Ming by her sect title. They dare not mention it in their heart.
After all, Patriarch Yu Tan was so angry that he had to clean up the Heavenly Demon Sect again.
Anyone who called Gu Mingxin “Senior Sister” or “Young Master” after she betrayed the immortal will be sent to the alchemy furnace and become nourishment for the new disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
He Qingjiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked with a smile:
“What’s Yu Yan?”
“This…” Elder Yue’s face was covered in cold sweat, “Young Master He, it’s better not to offend him. I don’t dare to say anything anymore… Ancestor Yu Yan has already taught the disciples in the sect a lesson before.”
“Ah…”
He Qingjiao sneered. He seemed to find Elder Yue quite boring, but he didn’t say much and said:
“Take your people out of the valley and challenge the Xuanxing Sect head-on.”
“Ah?”
“Didn’t you just ask me what I meant? This is what I meant…”
Elder Yue wiped the cold sweat from his head and asked again:
“Young Master He, would it be better to just stick to it? Will the Demon Sect send elders or disciples over…”
“The elders and inner disciples of the sect have no time to block the immortal cultivators from the three realms who are crossing the river from the north, south, and southwest. The young master of the Xuanxing Sect brought only more than 700 people, and I can handle them all by myself. .”
“But…”
“Since you asked me but don’t want to do what I said, why did you ask me?”
“…”
Elder Yue was immediately speechless. He looked at the dozen or so confidants on both sides who didn’t dare to say a word. After hesitating for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement:
“Yes, then I will follow Young Master He’s arrangement. I will ask the disciples in the valley to gather…”
“Oh, isn’t that right…”
He Qingjiao snorted coldly, turned around, and left.
And the moment she walked out of the attic and closed the door, several core formation disciples who had been holding on suddenly felt weak in their legs and squatted down holding on to the edge of the table.
“Elder Yue, that aura of blood is so scary…”
“Huh…” Elder Yue exhaled through his nose and said, “I have spoken upfront. After the war starts, don’t get too close to him. You can hide as far away as you can. He doesn’t distinguish between ourselves and the enemy… Anyone who blocks his sword, even me, will be split open by him…”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Okay, let’s ring the bell and let the disciples assemble.”
…
