Dugu Chou's words were vicious, but he hated the person who impersonated Feng Xiange to the core. Every word he uttered was bloody and heart-wrenching.
There was still no reply from the other side. The seventeen men sprung up simultaneously and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
Despite their rage and hatred, the seventeen men gritted their teeth in anger, but they had no choice but to leave.
Tiantang City was not a good place to fight Ling Xiaozui and the others.
Other than one's capability, the time and location of the battle between pinnacle experts would also affect the final outcome. Facing Ling Xiaozui and the other two men, losing the chance to catch them off guard and losing the advantage of being their home turf meant that their chances of winning were not high. In addition, the mysterious Residence of Nine Supremes was here; they could be killed at any time. It was already too many times to commit suicide. No one wanted to be another Liang Canghai!
Seeing that the Four Seasons Tower's men had left, Ling Xiaozui snorted and shifted his gaze to Gu Chaliang. "Brother Gu, can you tell us what's going on now?"
Dugu Chou looked over at the same time. The Residence of Nine Supremes and the purple jade flute were beyond both of their knowledge.
Even though both of them had gained a lot from this incident, they still felt that it was necessary to figure out the cause and the sequence of events.
Gu Chaliang coughed and sorted through what he knew in his heart before he said, "Actually, I'm confused about this as well. I only have a smattering of knowledge at most."
"Back then, I was only a very ordinary youth in the mountains, born in a small, insignificant sect, Phaseless Sect. One day, I went out to run some errands, but when I returned, I realized that the sect had been annihilated. There was no one alive. Even though I was lucky enough to survive, I couldn't escape the fate of being hunted down. I fell off the cliff, my life in danger … but it was then …"
Gu Chaliang's eyes glinted with a hint of reminiscence as he said, "It was this purple jade flute that suddenly appeared before me. At the critical moment when I was falling off the cliff, the purple jade flute sent me a message asking, 'Do you want to die?'"
Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou were speechless, stunned on the spot.
They had already fallen off the cliff and were still in midair … Who would want to die?
How tight would the time be?
Did he really have time to think or even answer this question?
A bitter smile hung on Gu Chaliang's face as he said, "I was only a young man who had just stepped into the path of cultivation. Out of an instinctive desire for life, I screamed without thinking, 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die …' Then, the purple jade flute glowed brightly and lifted me up, allowing me to land on the ground unscathed. At that time, I was forced to fall off a cliff and finally landed safely. At that time, I almost went crazy. At least I still had a clear mind. That purple jade flute is not ordinary … "
"After that, the purple jade flute gave me an inheritance. Yes, it was the cultivation technique that I had been cultivating for my entire life. That voice didn't end things after giving me the cultivation technique. Instead, it guided me in detail on how to cultivate it. That one month of teaching was an eye-opener. However, a month later, the voice told me that my aptitude was too lacking to inherit its legacy. However, what I had grasped in that one month was enough for me to roam the martial world and create a legend … Then, it made me promise solemnly that one day in the future, when I had completed a task, someone would come to inherit the cultivation method that I had learned. By then, there would be hope for my cultivation path to progress further and I would be one step closer to the ninth heaven. "
"Cultivation method? One step closer to the ninth heaven? "Dugu Chou asked sensitively.
"Yes, this is where I came from. It's just that I can't tell you the name of the cultivation method, "Gu Chaliang said apologetically.
"Of course." Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou expressed their understanding. "We're more interested to know what the voice entrusted you with now."
"There are two tasks that were entrusted to me. The first is to return the purple jade flute when the time comes." Gu Chaliang said, "I've already accomplished this task. It's a pity that I'm not returning it personally. If I were to return it personally, all the benefits outside of the Residence of Nine Supremes should belong to me alone."
Gu Chaliang's expression was one of regret. Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou chuckled sheepishly.
Indeed, this should have been Gu Chaliang's opportunity, but it had been shared among the three of them.
Dugu Chou asked with interest, "What about the second task? Is it related to the step closer to the ninth heaven that you mentioned just now? "
Gu Chaliang answered, "Maybe it's related. The second thing is for me to … assist someone in secret … I've told you all my biggest secrets … I have to bid farewell to both of you now. We shall meet again if fate wills it."
A thoughtful look flashed across Ling Xiaozui and Dugu Chou's eyes at the same time before it turned into gratitude.
The information that Gu Chaliang had revealed to both of them was too important!
"Farewell? Where are you going? "asked Ling Xiaozui.
"Tianxuan's worldly affairs are done. I'm going to the Bound of Universe to wait for the next opportunity." Gu Chaliang smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, Tianxuan's situation is set in stone. There's no room for change. Even if there are still twists and turns, it's destined that it won't take too long. Perhaps both brothers should plan ahead."
"The Bound of Universe …" Dugu Chou said.
Exchanging a glance with Ling Xiaozui, he said, "Back then, I actually had the chance to enter the Bound of Universe, but I gave it up."
"Why?" Gu Chaliang blurted out the question, but he already understood the situation.
Back then, he had been delayed by the rosy clouds for the sake of his lover. This was probably the reason.
"I'm afraid that my wife's soul will be lonely … I've decided to accompany her for five hundred years." Dugu Chou chuckled humorlessly and sighed softly.
Gu Chaliang and Ling Xiaozui sighed as they exchanged glances. Everyone in the world knew about Dugu Chou's infatuation.
Even after hundreds of years had passed and hundreds of seasons had passed, his infatuation remained the same.
Such a man who was devoted to his love was absolutely worthy of anyone's admiration in this world and would make any man feel ashamed.
"The Bound of Universe is not completely unfamiliar to me. However, I want to accumulate more confidence for myself before I go. Even though the incident this time has allowed me to take another step forward, this improvement came too abruptly. I have to make it my own before I can talk about the future."
Ling Xiaozui chuckled dryly and said, "The Bound of Universe is a great world, its level even higher than Tianxuan. Experts are plentiful, skilled cultivators and exceptional characters can be found everywhere. While we're all mighty in Tianxuan Continent, if we go to the Bound of Universe, even if we're not ordinary martial world nobodies, we won't be at the pinnacle of this world. It's better to plan for ourselves. "
Dugu Chou nodded in agreement, because what Ling Xiaozui was thinking was exactly what he was thinking.
Gu Chaliang looked at one and the other and said with a smile, "What was our initial intention when we first entered the martial world? Don't we have the courage to start all over again when we go to the Bound of Universe? So what if we can't return to our peak? "
The two of them suddenly trembled, both of them were moved by these words.
"I'll go to the Bound of Universe first and wait for you two brothers to come." Gu Chaliang smiled. "When the time comes …"
He laughed heartily, turned around, and drifted away.
He didn't even finish his sentence before he left.
