Su Bu Zhe chose to befriend Gu Chi for a reason.

Firstly, there is no deep hatred between Gu Chi and Junzi Ge.

Or rather, the major sects do not have much grudge against Gu Chi.

This is how the martial world works. In the past, when they had nothing to do, they would also fight and kill each other, right?

It is normal for a few disciples to die.

Furthermore, if you didn't provoke others and throw stones at them, why would they target you?

Since you have chosen to get involved in the matters between Qihuang Mountain and the Demon-Hunting Bureau, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. The other sect leaders will understand this simple and straightforward logic.

It's just that the Sword Trial in the Ten Continents is too lively, and there are too many people who know that they were defeated. It's just a matter of face.

Su Bu Zhe is very open-minded. He has always advocated for peace.

It is better to resolve conflicts than to create new ones. When will the cycle of harm end?

Secondly, Gu Chi gave him a Sacred-grade "Melting Origin Cave Mansion Map".

Su Bu Zhe is a reasonable person, and he couldn't find a reason not to stand on Gu Chi's side, so he stood with Gu Chi.

After leaving Junzi Ge.

In addition to the Spirit Vein distribution map set by each sect, Gu Chi also obtained some information about Mu Wanqing.

After the daytime discussion ended, Mu Wanqing said to Su Bu Zhe that she planned to go into seclusion and asked Su Bu Zhe to take care of the Spirit Vein. After the incident, Junzi Ge would take the majority, and Qinghuan Tower could take a share.

"Why would she go into seclusion when there are so many Spirit Stones?..." Gu Chi couldn't figure out what Mu Wanqing was up to for a moment.

Whether it's a player or not, they shouldn't go into seclusion at this time, right?

Could it be that Mu Wanqing has already guessed that he has a connection with the Divine Maiden Palace through his previous visit, and deliberately spread false information to confuse him?

But that's not right. If it's a player, they should come up with a more plausible reason.

If not, then Mu Wanqing doesn't need to guard against him.

Even if she said she wanted to cross the South Sea and challenge the Central Continent, it would be more believable than going into seclusion.

...Forget it.

After thinking for a while and not understanding, Gu Chi couldn't be bothered to guess anymore. Everything would be clear when he reached the Saint realm.

Now, let's go to the Fuyan Sect first.

They are old friends, and Gu Chi is familiar with the layout of the Fuyan Sect, so he didn't hesitate and went straight to Yan Qianxi's bedroom.

"Who?!" Yan Qianxi, who was sleeping, was almost scared to death. He jumped up in shock, and the ghost fire in his hand floated. After seeing that it was Gu Chi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It's the Patriarch."

Wait a minute.

Why did he call him so naturally?

Yan Qianxi: "..."

Gu Chi didn't waste any words. He sat down on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot, and went straight to the point, "Tell me about the movements of the Demon-Hunting Bureau."

"Patriarch, please wait a moment."

Yan Qianxi put on his clothes and took out a pile of scrolls from a hidden compartment under the bed.

He didn't know until he looked at it. Before, when he and Huang Yang were happily in love in the secret realm, the Demon-Hunting Bureau had done a lot of things.

Gu Chi had never returned to the Fuyan Sect, and Yan Qianxi was afraid that he would forget, so he recorded everything in writing.

Before and after, the Demon-Hunting Bureau had already gained the support of dozens of medium and small sects. This was only what Yan Qianxi had noticed when he was helping the Demon-Hunting Bureau. There were probably more that he didn't notice.

Moreover, the Demon-Hunting Bureau also secretly controlled many local governments.

Some were forced, and some had similar interests.

Yan Qianxi knew this so clearly because the Fuyan Sect had also contributed.

When it came to controlling people, the Life Lamp was more useful than many other things.

Recently, the Demon-Hunting Bureau seemed to be particularly close to the Sword Sect, and the exchanges between the two sides were more frequent than before.

In addition, the Demon-Hunting Bureau seemed to be using various means to accumulate wealth and embezzle cultivation resources.

In summary, they were in trouble.

The entire dynasty seemed to be in a peaceful and prosperous era on the surface, everything seemed normal, but in reality, it was all an illusion created by the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

The incident where Xu Zibai attacked Luo Qingshu was the beginning of the transition from darkness to light. They wanted to test the bottom line of the Emperor, but they were disrupted by him and the Divine Maiden.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Yan Qianxi suddenly remembered that Gu Chi seemed to have a close relationship with Luo Qingshu, so he said, "Princess Yangyue has not been released since she was confined by the Emperor last time. The soldiers responsible for guarding the Princess's Mansion are also from the Demon-Hunting Bureau."

"She hasn't been released yet?" This was something Gu Chi didn't expect. He frowned and said, "Is she still alive?"

"She should still be alive." Yan Qianxi said, "I often see people delivering food to her."

Gu Chi tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought. He didn't need to worry about Luo Qingshu liking him, but he remembered the favor that the young girl showed him when she unhesitatingly stood on his side against the Demon-Hunting Bureau.

One good turn deserves another.

In that case... let's go to the Princess's Mansion and see what's going on, and also ask Luo Qingshu about the situation.Being confined for half a year was one thing, but being watched over by the Demon-Hunting Bureau made Gu Chi suspect whether this decree was issued by the emperor himself.

Having read enough, Gu Chi put the files into his backpack.

They might not be necessary, but what if?

He decided to keep them for now, they didn't take up much space.

Seeing this, Yan Qianxi felt a huge weight lifted off his chest. These files were like ticking time bombs to him. If they were leaked, the Fuyan Sect would be annihilated in minutes. It couldn't be better if Gu Chi could take them away.

After a while, he brought over the cultivation methods he had collected over the past year to Gu Chi.

The total number was close to two thousand, most of which Gu Chi had seen before. Only less than eight hundred were useful, but Gu Chi was quite satisfied. He gave Yan Qianxi a bottle of elixir as a reward.

【Realm-Breaking Pill: After taking it, the chance for a cultivator to break through to the Transcendent Realm increases by 30%】

This was something Gu Chi specifically asked for from Huang Yang. It was something that every disciple in a large sect had, but it was a treasure in a small sect.

"Thank you, Ancestor." Yan Qianxi knew this was a way to control him, but he was still quite grateful to Gu Chi.

The Realm-Breaking Pill was exactly what a cultivator at the third realm needed, and Gu Chi gave him more than one.

"Master Yan, you're welcome." Gu Chi paused, then said, "Tomorrow, find someone to send a message to the Holy Maiden of Qihuang Mountain for me. Tell her I'm going to the princess's mansion to see Luo Qingshu."

His relationship with Luo Qingshu was quite sensitive, so it was better to let his wife know about their private meeting.

Yan Qianxi nodded in agreement.

After giving a few more instructions, Gu Chi set off for the Capital City.

Running to three places in one night, Gu Chi felt he was pushing himself too hard.

But he had no choice, who made him stay in Huang Yang's gentle homeland for more than half a year?

No, it was more than half a year.

Including the time in the Secret Realm, he had spent almost all his time in the instance on Huang Yang. He was really falling...

Arriving at the outskirts of the Capital City, Gu Chi didn't know where the princess's mansion was, so he simply said, "Next, to the inside of the princess's mansion."

Then he took a step forward.

The distance was more than twenty miles, which directly triggered the entrance effect.

Gu Chi thought no one would notice him, as he used the Speech Spirit Technique to teleport silently without any spirit power fluctuation, and it was late at night, the maids in the mansion should be resting. However, as soon as he stretched out his foot, he heard a cold laugh from the air.

"I knew you would come."

The next second, a terrifyingly red sword aura descended from the sky, full of insidious intent. The pressure it emitted had already surpassed the Transcendent Realm.

When you're just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

Not good, it's The Insidious!

Gu Chi was startled.

He quickly withdrew his foot.

The spatial rift disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

The insidious sword aura cut through the air in vain.

"???"

Could he really play like this??

...
