Chu Yang rubbed his nose and nodded. There was an inexplicable strange feeling in his heart. Not only did Tan Tan mention himself, he even added the title of 'Saint King' to himself.
Minister Chu felt rather gratified. After all, this Junior Brother of his would not disappoint him. Looking at Gu Yigu's aura that had eased up in an instant, Chu Yang also felt completely at ease. As the king of the Three Stars Divine Clan, it could be said that Tan Tan hadn't lost the slightest bit of his power, prestige and authority in the clan.
As expected of my Junior Brother! Chu Yang was rather proud of himself.
"Saint King Chu …" Gu Yigu was rather embarrassed. He scratched his squarish head and said, "His Majesty had once instructed that Saint King Chu's status is noble and noble. You are the person whom His Majesty values the most in his life. If anyone from the Divine Clan sees you, it will be the same as seeing His Majesty! If Saint King Chu comes, I must receive him well and report his whereabouts to the higher-ups immediately. I didn't expect to still offend Saint King Chu when we meet face to face today. "
Chu Yang nodded and said with an amicable smile, "It's alright. Elder Gu is too polite." Tan Tan had indeed done a lot for him …
Chu Yang was rather comforted, feeling rather 'comforted'. However, following that, a strange feeling arose in Chu Yang's heart. He hadn't noticed it earlier, but why did the title of 'Saint King Chu' sound more and more strange now?
It was fine that Tan Tan was called Saint King, but why did this title sound so strange to him?
Chu Yang thought for a long time before he finally recalled it. In that instant, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Saint King Chu? King of beasts?
Chu Yang had an urge to vomit blood!
"Saint King Chu?" Gu Yigu was rather puzzled. Why did this fellow's expression turn so ugly in an instant? He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Chu Yang suppressed the urge to rush to the Three Stars Divine Clan right away and chop Tan Tan into pieces. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief.
After the two of them exchanged a few words, the hostile atmosphere on both sides eased at once.
Other than Gu Yigu, everyone else, including Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang, heaved a long sigh of relief!
Everyone felt as if a year had passed during this short confrontation.
Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang were sweating profusely as soon as they let out a sigh of relief. He couldn't stop it. There was a feeling of exhaustion in his entire body.
The two of them had the strongest battle prowess, but they were also under the greatest pressure!
He was still able to maintain his combat state, but his mind had relaxed. However, it was no different from a great battle!
Gu Du Xing and Dong Wu Shang looked at each other. Both of them were shocked!
After learning that he wasn't an outsider, Gu Yigu's countenance improved considerably. He even became friendly. "Holy King Chu, why don't you and your friend come in and have a seat? This old man has something to ask … Of course, Holy King Chu must also have something to instruct … "
Chu Yang smiled and said, "I couldn't ask for more."
Gu Yigu let out a hearty laugh and greeted his guest solemnly.
Chu Yang, Mo Tianji and the others followed Gu Yigu over.
Behind a large boulder was a large courtyard. It was empty inside.
Gu Yigu smiled apologetically and went to brew tea.
Ji Mo asked in surprise, "This … Elder Gu, there aren't many servants here to serve you?"
Everyone was surprised. For someone like Gu Yigu to be 'doing business' here … Was he actually a commander without an army? Did he even have to personally brew tea?
Gu Yigu smiled and said, "Of course … Let alone a few, there isn't even one! This old man's identity is sensitive. With one more person, there's an additional risk of my identity being exposed. How would I dare to take the risk? "
Mo Tianji couldn't help but praise him. "Elder's cautiousness is extremely admirable!"
Mo Tianji was speaking from the bottom of his heart. When one was very weak, no one would say anything if one acted cautiously. They would only feel that it was right. However, when one was at the level of Gu Yigu, one of the few experts in the world. It was rare for someone like him to be so cautious.
Because in this world, the number of people who could hurt Gu Yigu could already be counted on one's fingers. However, Gu Yigu was still so cautious. This made Mo Tianji feel … that it was rare and commendable.
Gu Yigu smiled. "The older one is in the martial world, the more cowardly one becomes. Besides, I'm the only one from the Divine Clan outside. I can be said to be the pivot of all connections. If something were to happen to me … What would happen to the Divine Clan?"
He let out a wry laugh. "Besides … In your eyes, my cultivation can be said to be pretty high. However, on this continent, there are still people who can easily crush me to death with just a finger … How would this old man dare to be careless?"
The brothers were dumbfounded. "With your peak-second-level Supreme Martial Artist cultivation, there's actually someone who can …"
At once, they felt that this was practically a legend.
With a wry laugh, Gu Yigu pointed at Chu Yang. "He knows that person!"
At once, several pairs of eyes looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang let out a dry cough, secretly chuckling. He knew that he was talking about Zi Xieqing but didn't expose him. He said, "There is indeed such a person."
Gu Duxing and the others revealed astonished looks in their eyes.
Among the brothers, only Dong Wushang, Mo Lei 'er and Rui Butong weren't surprised by Mo Qingwu. This was because they had already met Zi Xieqing a long time ago and also understood Zi Xieqing's capabilities. They naturally knew that what Gu Yigu was saying now was definitely the truth.
The tea was already brewed. Gu Yigu was evidently also a lazy fellow. Instead of using a teapot, he gave each of them a large teacup that could hold half a liter of water. Inside each cup, half a cup of tea was brewed.
"Divine King Chu … I have something to ask of you." Gu Yigu picked up his teacup.
"Cough cough … Elder Gu, you can call me Chu Yang or Brother Chu. Either is fine. Please don't call me Divine King Chu. I feel awkward." Chu Yang hurriedly declined.
"What's awkward about that?" Gu Yigu was surprised. This name was the most honorable form of address.
Suddenly … "Pfft … Hahahahaha …" Ji Mo spat out a mouthful of tea onto Luo Kedi's face. Then, he clutched his stomach and burst into laughter.
Evidently, this fellow had already figured out the profoundness behind this name.
"F * ck!" Caught off guard, Luo Kedi was instantly hit. With the fragrance of tea all over his face, he stood up and wiped his face in a flurry, wishing he could drag Ji Mo out and give him a good beating.
All the brothers looked at Ji Mo in bewilderment. They didn't understand why this fellow would suddenly erupt like this …
Chu Yang looked at Ji Mo with a gaze that could kill. In a very dangerous tone, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"I didn't hear anything …" Upon coming into contact with Chu Yang's gaze that could crush a person into pieces, Ji Mo immediately raised his hands in surrender. However, he really couldn't hold back his laughter. Clutching his stomach again, he twitched on the chair.
Then, as if something had occurred to him, Mo Tianji suddenly choked on his tea and started coughing repeatedly.
Before he could say anything, Chu Yang's murderous gaze turned towards him again.
Mo Tianji choked a few times and finally managed to hold it in.
Holding back his anger, Chu Yang turned around. Gritting his teeth, he asked amicably, "Elder Gu, what do you want to ask me?"
Gu Yigu blinked a few times and asked, "Back then, that lord … Is he still …"
Chu Yang nodded. "Yes, he's still fine now."
Gu Yigu heaved a long sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good." Then, he asked carefully, "Brother Chu, you and him …" Chu Yang smiled lightly. "Thanks to that lord's kindness, we can talk as peers."
"Talk as peers?" Gu Yigu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Chu Yang nodded calmly and reservedly. He casually took out Zi Xieqing's token and placed it on the table. Activating it with his inner energy, an overwhelming pressure appeared at once.
As if sensing that there was still an expert here, this overwhelming pressure actually rushed straight toward Gu Yigu.
Gu Yigu let out a startled cry and leaned backward. With a loud smack, the sturdy ancient pine chair was smashed into pieces by his buttocks. With a thud, his buttocks landed solidly on the ground, creating a huge square pit. He said frantically, "Quick … Quick, put it away …"
It could be said that once bitten, twice shy, this Gu Yigu would be afraid of ropes. The lesson back then was etched deeply in his heart. It also made him truly understand that even if he cultivated for another 100,000 years, he would definitely not be that person's match.
At the sight of Zi Xieqing's token now, all his doubts were dispelled at once and he became fearful and fearful.
With a smile, Chu Yang kept the token.
The reason why he didn't tell the truth and kept it a secret, the reason why he took out the token, was to achieve this effect. If this Gu Yigu knew that Zi Xieqing was no longer in this world, no one could guess how he would react.
Chu Yang didn't dare to take that risk.
After all, if this person really turned against them mercilessly, how many of the eleven of them would be able to survive … was still an unknown.
Why don't we do it this way? Everything will be settled with a shock!
After this Gu Yigu saw this token, even if he had the guts of the heavens, he would definitely not dare to be impudent again.
"Yes, it's fine now." Chu Yang kept the token and asked rather curiously, "How did Elder Gu get acquainted with that … that big brother of mine?"
With this question, the expression on Gu Yigu's face immediately looked like he was crying and laughing at the same time.
After a long while, he finally said desolately, "It's embarrassing to talk about this …"
He thought to himself whether it was embarrassing or not. In any case, with this relationship, they would find out sooner or later. If he kept it a secret now, he would instead appear petty.
With a wry smile, he said, "Back then, I was entrusted by a few elders. Several elders exhausted their life force to help me break through the seal and come to the human world from the Three Stars Divine Clan's imprisonment …"
"After several thousand years of cultivation, I was already an expert of the current age! I roamed the martial world and was almost invincible in the world. I became more and more conceited and complacent … Finally, one day, I fought with a law-enforcement high priest and was inflicted with the Heartless Soul-Destroying Palm … This injury could only be treated by the Black Blood Rose. Thus, I immediately went deep into the Black Blood Forest to look for the Black Blood Rose … "
As he recounted, the past slowly unfolded before Chu Yang.
Chu Yang's gaze was rather dazed, as if he could see Zi Xieqing's white robes fluttering in the wind again. He couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart … Welcome. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
