Chapter 644: There's some juicy stuff in here.
"Oh, this..."
Jin Qian took two bites of pig's head meat and said slowly, "The King of Yanluo has won."
"Won?"
"They won. It ended last week. I heard it was quite easy, and the outcome was too predictable. The Central Plains Dynasty has changed hands now."
Gu Heng seemed to be deep in thought.
The ruler of Yanluo Kingdom was indeed a remarkable figure, and the Zhongzhou Dynasty was a powerful force that dominated a region. Yet, it collapsed so suddenly, leaving one to lament the impermanence of life.
Yin Rufeng, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow. Wasn't the one Jin Qian and Gu Heng were talking about Gu Heng's disciple?
Judging from this, it seems that Young Master Gu has no idea what his disciple has been doing in Zhongzhou, and has not even noticed that his disciple is already the ruler of Zhongzhou?
Tsk tsk.
It's really shocking!
So this is how top-tier masters train their disciples: they send them out and don't care how well they cultivate, as long as they come back to visit...
Is this the kind of confidence that only big shots have?
Yin Rufeng felt very impressed!
"Young Master Gu, you've been in this desolate city for a week now. Do you have any plans to go anywhere next?"
After several rounds of drinks, before parting, Jin Qian asked again.
"Me?" Gu Heng thought for a moment, "Of course I'll go to the Lesser Mystic Realm again."
He had been slacking off for almost a week, mainly because he was bored in the Dead Soul Forbidden Zone during his last trip to the Little Mystic Heaven Realm. So after returning, he slept soundly, and was served by Xiaobai and the new little dragon he found every day. He was living a very comfortable life!
But touching it any further would be a bit inappropriate.
"Alright, then I wish Young Master Gu all the best!"
Jin Qian and Yin Rufeng had no intention of asking what kind of top-level plan Gu Heng was making in the Little Mystic Heaven Realm, and even if he was, it wasn't their place to know.
Anyway, that Little Xuantian Realm isn't enough for Young Master Gu to show off his skills!
No matter what, it has to be a place like the celestial realm or the underworld to be suitable!
If Gu Yun hadn't been so blind as to offend Young Master Gu... then they could be celebrating with drums and gongs. "Well then, thank you both for your kind words!"
……
Lesser Mystic Realm.
As soon as Canglan Xuanxian returned, he was summoned by Gu Yun Xianzun.
He had anticipated this. The five great guardians should not have left the Xuan Tian Realm unless there were special circumstances. The crime of dereliction of duty could be serious or minor.
But Canglan Xuanxian already had an explanation in mind.
After all, he couldn't afford to offend that aunt with Immortal Venerable Yunshang as her backer. What else could he do but leave?
Beneath the towering divine tree, Gu Yun saw Cang Lan Xuanxian and immediately snorted coldly, "Cang Lan, why have you abandoned your post?"
"Reporting to the Immortal Lord, I did not intentionally abandon my post, but had no choice but to do so."
Canglan Xuanxian immediately knelt down to beg for forgiveness. Gu Yun's face darkened: "Unable to do it? Then tell this Immortal Venerable, what exactly made you have no choice but to do it?"
He's in a really bad mood right now.
Lately, he has been experiencing a series of misfortunes. It seems that some unseen force is causing all his plans, big and small, to fail at the last minute!
From being forced to bring the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm into existence, to the recent complete destruction of the Death Soul Witch King's power...
Everyone is labeling him as a "mistake"!
And they played too many!
just now.
Among the "Thirteen Immortal Venerables" of the entire Little Mystic Heaven Realm, quite a few originally supported him, but now they are all beginning to question and doubt his abilities!
These were all his ideas; if things went well, the credit would be his, and if things went wrong, the responsibility would naturally fall on him.
After all, Gu Yun couldn't find a scapegoat. He had no choice but to bear the bitter consequences himself.
And when he was in a particularly bad mood, the great garrison commander of Zhongzhou whom he had sent out actually ran back without permission!
Dereliction of duty is a matter that can be considered a minor or major issue, but now that Gu Yun is filled with anger, it is naturally a very serious matter.
"Immortal Venerable, please forgive me. The Central State Dynasty has a new emperor. Does that new emperor have Immortal Venerable Yunshang as his backer? She clearly stated that there can only be one ruler of the Central State. Therefore, I can no longer serve as the Grand Guardian of the Central State."
Canglan Xuanxian certainly didn't want to be killed by Gu Yun.
So he immediately laid out everything he had seen and experienced!
In short, he said what he knew, refusing to utter a single word of unnecessary speculation, so as not to interfere with the judgment of the Ancient Immortal Venerable and potentially cause trouble in the end.
"...Such a thing actually happened?"
After listening to Canglan Xuanxian's report, Gu Yun remained silent for a while. Then he erupted.
"That Yunshang is still trying to contradict me even now!"
"They're going to find all sorts of ways to undermine my authority!"
Gu Yun was furious, his hair standing on end, his aura fierce and incomparably powerful, as if he wanted to shatter everything around him. Cang Lan Xuan Xian was so frightened that he quickly shrank his head and knelt a little further away, not daring to move an inch.
To be honest, Canglan Xuanxian felt that Gu Yun was easier to deal with in the past.
Perhaps recently plans have indeed fallen short of changes, causing the Dragon Palace Lord's temperament to change far too quickly.
One second he's all smiles and gentle manners, the next he's become violent and manic... His subordinates just can't stand it.
In situations like this, it's better to pretend you're deaf and dumb and not hear anything.
After venting for a while, Gu Yun finally calmed down. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger churning inside him, and sighed, "Fine, you were powerless to do anything about it, this is not your fault."
"Yes."
Canglan Xuanxian felt as if he had been granted a pardon.
Fortunately, at least he wasn't killed by the Ancient Immortal Venerable.
"Since that's the case, then I happen to have another matter to entrust to you..."
Gu Yun raised his hand, and a stream of light flew out and landed in Canglan Xuanxian's hand. Upon closer inspection, the latter saw that it was a Qiankun Treasure Bag.
"Here are thirty 'Ascension Pills' personally refined by Immortal Venerable Baiyu!"
"Take him to the Xuan Tian Realm right now."
Looking at the Qiankun bag in his hand, Canglan Xuanxian was also extremely surprised.
It was actually Bai Yu, the most powerful pharmacist in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm, who personally refined the Ascension Pills for those supreme cultivators of the Mystic Heaven Realm! This was also part of the plan. In order to deal with the threat from the Demon Realm, the immortals intended to help a group of cultivators in the Mystic Heaven Realm who had been stuck in the "mortal realm" for a long time to ascend to immortality quickly with the help of the pills.
Whether having these Ascension Stage cultivators is actually useful is debatable...
But having a solution is better than having no solution at all.
"My Lord Immortal, are we really just going to let them receive such benefits for nothing?"
Canglan Xuanxian hesitated.
The journey from mortal to immortal is not easy, and the Ascension Pill is quite demanding on the alchemist's skill. It's not simply a matter of pouring in immortal energy to make a cultivator become an immortal.
One wrong move and you could burst someone else's stomach.
Therefore, high-quality Ascension Pills are extremely difficult to obtain even in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm.
Even Canglan Xuanxian herself had never enjoyed such a good thing! "Heh, benefits?"
"It's just a few dozen more Ascension Stage cultivators. The Demon Realm is so powerful that having more of their kind won't change anything."
Ancient Immortal Venerable Gu Yun sneered.
"This Ascension Pill contains some potent ingredients. At crucial moments, it can activate the talismans within, and then..."
Gu Yun didn't continue, but Canglan Xuanxian understood.
"During the Five Realms War, this method caused quite a bit of trouble for the Demon Realm. It couldn't hurt the true demons, but it could at least make their illusory demon cultivators suffer a bit!"
"Understood."
Canglan Xuanxian carefully put away the Qiankun Treasure Bag.
"Go."
