In the main hall of the Martyr's Palace, Gu Nan asked a staff member, "Will he be healed if I put him in here?"
The "him" Gu Nan mentioned was naturally the guardian spirit of the Sun and Moon Magic Box, the white-bearded old man.
The one being questioned by Gu Nan was a young girl with braids. Even though she was unhappy with this fellow who didn't respect Martyr Spirits, she kept reminding herself not to be rude in front of everyone.
However, she wouldn't treat Gu Nan well either. She said stiffly, "That's right!"
In front of Gu Nan, there was a small man-made hot spring with many Heroic Spirits soaking in it. It was used to heal the Heroic Spirits' injuries and recover their strength.
Gu Nan nodded, grabbed the old man's collar, and threw him in. His actions immediately caused another round of discussion.
"So … so crude! How can you treat Martyr Spirits like this? "
"No one would want someone who doesn't respect Martyr Spirits like this even after death!"
"So excessive …"
Gu Nan completely ignored these discussions. The white-bearded old man had no time to respond to their sympathy. He was comfortably soaking in the hot spring and quickly recovering from his injuries.
Perhaps the old man's injuries were strange, or perhaps he was powerful, but the rainbow-colored spring water dimmed at a visible rate after he entered.
A short while later, the spring water became completely clear. The Martyr Spirits who were healing inside could only watch this scene in a daze.
The old man's figure also solidified. He suddenly opened his eyes, and a divine light flashed through them. His aura also changed.
"I, Gu Zhaoyue, have returned!" The old man was so excited that he even told Gu Nan his real name. He laughed heartily as he looked at Gu Nan, looking as if his plan had succeeded.
"Didn't expect this, did you? I was imprisoned by the Sun and Moon Magic Box for thousands of years just for this day … Speaking of which, I really have to thank you, little friend! "
Gu Zhaoyue laughed loudly at Gu Nan as he spoke. At the same time, his aura erupted. It was actually at an extraordinary level, and it was quite extraordinary.
"If you hadn't destroyed the moon box, I wouldn't have had the chance to escape! Don't worry, since I've regained my freedom, our previous … Huh? "
A black sword pierced through his chest and into the spring behind him, piercing right through him.
Gu Nan stood expressionlessly in front of Gu Zhaoyue, the black sword in his hand. Meanwhile, Gu Zhaoyue was in a daze, unable to speak. His strength was rapidly fading with his injuries.
"Where's the Mirror of Heroes?" Gu Nan turned to ask the female staff member beside him.
The girl was stunned by the sudden turn of events. She subconsciously pointed to the back and said, "Over there … Hey, wait! You haven't paid yet! "
Regardless of the relationship between this guy and his Heroic Spirit, they had used up an entire hot spring!
Gu Nan stopped and looked at the girl who spoke, then at the people around him, and muttered, "So troublesome …"
Before the girl could understand what he meant, the shadow sword had already pierced through her heart.
…
Just as Dongfang Qi said, "He's in the hall", a loud noise suddenly came from outside.
"What's going on!?" Dongfang Qi shouted. He couldn't imagine that someone would dare cause trouble in the Martyr's Palace. Did this person want to become enemies with all the heroic spirits on the continent?
Han Jun narrowed his eyes. He had a bad feeling about this.
Bang!
A corpse fell heavily into the ground. It was the person Dongfang Qi had asked about just now. This Palace Master could no longer hold back and ran to the front hall to check.
However, the scene that greeted his eyes left him tongue-tied.
The originally bustling yet orderly Martyr's Palace was no longer in sight. Blood and corpses were everywhere, and countless sounds of slaughter could be heard coming from inside the hall.
There were indeed countless of them, and every one of them was a pitch-black, faceless shadow. They were madly attacking the surroundings and killing every living being in sight.
At the center of the hall stood a young man in a gray suit, and beside him was a white-bearded old man.
"Sire …" Gu Zhaoyue came up to him again with a flattering smile on his face. It was as though everything that had happened earlier was a dream.
He was a heroic spirit and didn't have any vital points. Thus, apart from the bloody wound in his mouth, there wasn't much of a difference.
"Do you know how to use the Martyr's Mirror?" Gu Nan asked in a calm tone, so calm that it didn't sound like a question at all.
Gu Zhaoyue felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly replied, "Yes! This old man operated the Martyr's Mirror with the army during the holy war … "
Gu Nan didn't say anything and only nodded. Only then did Gu Zhaoyue heave a sigh of relief.
He had finally figured out some of Gu Nan's thoughts. This sire didn't care about loyalty or betrayal. He only cared about who was useful and who wasn't.
He could keep those who were useful no matter what they did, but he wouldn't care about those who were useless no matter how loyal they were.
On the other side, Dongfang Qi was roaring angrily, "Who are you?! How dare you attack the Martyr's Palace! Aren't you afraid … wait, you're that heroic spirit!? "
Dongfang Qi suddenly realized something halfway through his sentence. The result of the Martyr's Mirror was still fresh in his mind. If Dongfang Qi still couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't deserve to be called a palace master.
Gu Nan glanced at him coldly and then at his surroundings.
Under the ravaging of his shadow body, there wasn't a single living person in the Martyr's Palace. In the silence, only the thick smell of blood was fermenting.
Beside Dongfang Qi, Han Jun also appeared. He stared at Gu Nan and said, "Who are you, sir? Why did you attack my Han family? "
Neither of them received an answer. What answered them was a sword that was as fast as lightning.
As the pitch-black sword flashed past, both Han Jun and Dongfang Qi were shocked. At the same time, a gigantic shadow blocked in front of them.
"Roar!"
This was a gigantic black gorilla. It was Dongfang Qi's main Hero Spirit. Gu Nan's sword pierced into its body, but it did not cause too much damage.
Dongfang Qi was not a Hero Spiritualist, so he was already drenched in cold sweat. He immediately yelled, "Black Star, kill him!"
"Roar!"
The black gorilla roared three times, and its gigantic palm slammed down.
However, to everyone's surprise, Gu Nan did not dodge and only casually raised his left hand. The black gorilla's slap was actually blocked by him with a single hand.
Even the black gorilla was stunned. It forcefully pulled its hand back, but it realized that it could not move at all …
"Roar!"
The next moment, a terrified roar could be heard. The black gorilla's gigantic body was lifted up by Gu Nan with one hand and thrown into the hall behind him.
Boom!
The black gorilla directly crashed into a pillar and actually broke it, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Gu Nan's gaze swept past the two people behind him. The black sword flashed again, and Dongfang Qi's head was separated from his body before he could even make a sound.
At this critical moment, Han Jun's head suddenly turned into a wolf's head. He leaped into the sky and actually broke through the ceiling to escape.
"It's a possession-type Hero Spirit." Gu Zhaoyue made a judgment. Then, she looked at Gu Nan fawningly. "Sir, do you want me to go and kill this person?"
Gu Nan waved his hand. "He has no enmity with me. Do I look like someone who would kill people for no reason?"
Even with Gu Zhaoyue's shrewdness, she was rendered speechless by these words. After a long time, she hesitantly said, "Then sir, you killed them because …"
"She asked me for money." Gu Nan pointed at the female employee on the ground, whose shape could no longer be seen.
