Wu Shuai advanced to rank eight, he finally broke out of the encirclement, the pressure on him decreased. Not just that, he found the only hope of winning against Celestial Court, that was to borrow Red Lotus's strength.
Even though Red Lotus had not become a venerable, he was destined to become a future venerable. Even though this was only a guess, many people in the Gu Immortal world were inclined to believe it. If not, why would Duke Long and Celestial Court do all they could to make him stay? Back then, when Duke Long descended and took him in as a disciple, it was a clear sign.
After communicating with Gu Liang, Wu Shuai decided to change his strategy, he laid low and did not act like before.
Originally, the dragonman race was looking forward to his advancement to rank eight, they finally had a rank eight great expert who could support them.
However, Wu Shuai started to get close to Celestial Court and Central Continent's ten great ancient sects, countless dragonmen could not understand this.
Wu Shuai put in a lot of effort and showed a remorseful expression, he gradually won the trust and favor of the ten great ancient sects. He purposely got close to Celestial Court and tried to find out about Celestial Court's information.
In fact, he even invested money to create an Immortal Gu House for Celestial Court.
The conflict between the dragonmen and humans caused him to change his stance, he suppressed the dragonmen and protected the benefits of humans.
After a hundred years, Wu Shuai had many successes, but he did not gain the trust of Celestial Court.
"What should I do?" Wu Shuai was troubled, he discussed with Gu Liang.
Gu Liang said: "You are a dragonman, Celestial Court has always been wary of variant humans, Celestial Court looks down on variant humans from the bottom of their hearts. Our only hope is in Duke Long. It is time to use a strong medicine. "
"Then how do I gain the trust of Duke Long? Ancestor treats me very well … "Wu Shuai shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Gu Liang looked at Wu Shuai deeply: "It depends on whether you are willing to make a sacrifice."
Wu Shuai did not hesitate, he answered: "I am working for the dragonman race, a little sacrifice is nothing."
"That's good." Gu Liang clapped: "Only a person like you can achieve great things."
Gu Liang suggested a plan, Wu Shuai hesitated. It was because Gu Liang had asked Wu Shuai to sacrifice Huang Wei!
Huang Wei was already a rank seven dragonman Gu Immortal, not only had he followed Wu Shuai since he was young, he had been following Wu Shuai and managing South Flower Island, he was loyal to Wu Shuai, he had made great contributions, there was no way he would betray him.
Gu Liang persuaded: "Everyone knows about the relationship between you and Huang Wei. We can trick you into making a choice. If you sacrifice Huang Wei for the sake of the human race, you will be able to change Duke Long's mind! "
"But … you want me to kill the person who has done so much for me, the person who trusts and respects me the most …" Wu Shuai clenched his teeth, still hesitating.
"I believe that if Huang Wei knew the meaning of his sacrifice, he would definitely choose to sacrifice himself. Isn't that so? "Gu Liang's words dispelled Wu Shuai's hesitation.
Wu Shuai sighed, and his eyes turned red. "Huang Wei knows me, and I know Huang Wei. If he understands my good intentions, he will be willing to sacrifice himself."
"No!" Gu Liang hurriedly waved his hand, "This plan is of great importance, the fewer people who know about it, the better. Just you and me are the safest. Oh friend, you need to understand, even a dead person can be found with a lot of evidence. We cannot let Huang Wei know about this. "
"This …" Wu Shuai closed his eyes, shaking his head: "Let me think, let me think …"
He hesitated for half a year, but he finally made up his mind.
Compared to Huang Wei alone, the dragonman race's benefits were much greater.
Wu Shuai and Gu Liang schemed in secret, creating conflict and killing human Gu Immortals, creating evidence to frame Huang Wei.
After this happened, it attracted a lot of attention from Central Continent.
Huang Wei cried out in injustice: "I did not do this, brother knows me well, I would never do this!"
Wu Shuai tried to protect Huang Wei at first, but as more evidence was revealed, he had no choice but to kill Huang Wei in the name of justice.
This caused a huge commotion, the dragonmen were very dissatisfied with Wu Shuai, some dragonmen even started to move out of South Flower Island.
Central Continent's ten great ancient sects praised Wu Shuai, even Duke Long acknowledged Wu Shuai after learning of this: "Little Eighth has learned a lot these years, I am glad."
Wu Shuai successfully gained Duke Long's trust.
However, there was an emptiness in his heart.
Huang Wei's last words before he was executed were deeply engraved in his heart, he would never forget them for the rest of his life —
"Brother, I, Huang Wei, have never regretted following you! If you want to kill me, no matter the reason, I will accept it! But brother, I really did not do such a thing. You need to be careful, those human Gu Immortals are trying to deceive you. All these years, they did not do anything to you because they changed their strategy. They are framing me now, they want to get rid of me and gradually cut off your wings. "
"Brother, you told me about the future of the dragonman race, I have always remembered it. It is fine if I die, please continue doing what you did. The future of the dragonman race cannot be without you! "
Huang Wei knelt on the ground, crying and complaining, his words made Wu Shuai's heart bleed.
Wu Shuai almost could not resist telling Huang Wei all of his secrets. The one who framed him was his most respected brother!
In fact, at this moment, Wu Shuai had a strong urge to kneel on the ground and beg for Huang Wei's forgiveness. But he did not do so.
He snorted coldly: "Huang Wei, you took bribes and perverted the law, you intentionally killed someone, you still refuse to admit your crimes even at death's door. Sigh, I trusted you all these years in vain. You have truly disappointed me, I am truly heartbroken. "
Halfway through his words, Wu Shuai's tears were already falling, his voice was choked.
He did not dare to look at Huang Wei anymore, he turned around and left.
"Brother!" Huang Wei knelt on the cold ground of the prison cell, shouting at Wu Shuai's back: "Before I die, I will call you brother one more time!! Don't forget the dragonman cause. "
Wu Shuai moved even faster, as if he was escaping.
Huang Wei's execution was witnessed by a large number of Gu Immortals. Wu Shuai did not go.
On the same night, he had a dream.
In the dream, he saw Huang Wei. Huang Wei pointed at his nose, cursing loudly.
Wu Shuai told Huang Wei the truth.
After Huang Wei heard it, he cried loudly, kneeling on the ground as he said: "Brother, you put in so much effort, I was ignorant and wronged you. For the cause of the dragonman race, you did not hesitate to take the blame, I am willing to sacrifice myself for you. "
Wu Shuai quickly pulled Huang Wei up, hugging his shoulder: "Brother, it is good that you understand me!"
After waking up, Wu Shuai had a smile on his face.
He did not get up immediately, he opened his eyes and looked at the curtains.
The smile at the corner of his mouth did not diminish, but tears flowed from his eyes.
Huang Wei's death had many effects. South Flower Island's people were in chaos, their morale fell to rock bottom, the dragonmen were very disappointed in Wu Shuai.
But Wu Shuai could enter Celestial Court from time to time.
This was a huge breakthrough.
This time, Celestial Court decided to start constructing Central Heaven Gate.
Wu Shuai grabbed this rare opportunity, he reported to Duke Long and contributed Dragon Palace.
After so many years, Dragon Palace was still a rank seven Immortal Gu House.
Wu Shuai had made this decision after careful consideration: Losing Dragon Palace was not a big deal, it could be rebuilt in the future. The most important thing was fate Gu!
Duke Long's reaction was not out of Wu Shuai's expectations. Duke Long said: "Little Eight, it is good that you have such an intention, I am very relieved. But Central Heaven Gate is an information path Immortal Gu House, while your Dragon Palace is enslavement path, they are not related. Furthermore, with our Celestial Court's foundation, we do not need to extort our descendants' wealth. "
Wu Shuai sighed: "Grandfather, I was young and rash when I was young, I did many ridiculous things. Now that I have repented, I am thinking of how to make up for my mistakes. Grandfather, please give me this chance, I will not disappoint you! "
Duke Long laughed heartily: "Then let's do it this way, you and your father will be in charge of constructing Central Heaven Gate."
Wu Shuai was overjoyed: "Thank you, grandfather."
A lot of resources were needed to construct Central Heaven Gate, Gu Liang took the initiative to help.
He said to Wu Shuai: "The Celestial Court is truly ambitious, they actually want to open Central Heaven Gate and connect to the grotto-heavens. However, this was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! We can make a move on Central Heaven Gate and leave behind a hidden door to probe the Celestial Court's internal information. "
Wu Shuai worked even harder, he went around to construct Central Heaven Gate.
The dragonman race had a huge problem with him, many dragonmen started to scold Wu Shuai, saying that he was a traitor of the dragonman race.
These dragonmen had great expectations for Wu Shuai, but now, they were filled with intense disappointment and hatred.
Even Wu Shuai's father was very cold towards him.
Wu Shuai endured these misunderstandings, he tried his best to complete Central Heaven Gate.
It was not easy to leave behind a hidden door in Central Heaven Gate, especially when it was under the surveillance of the Celestial Court.
Just as he was working hard and was about to have some small results, an accident occurred.
His father returned from the Celestial Court with heavy injuries, he called for Wu Shuai before he died.
"I came into contact with fate Gu, my son! I obtained fate Gu's revelation, our dragonman reign supreme, dragonman reign supreme!! "Wu Shuai's father was very excited, he grabbed Wu Shuai's hand tightly.
"What?!" Wu Shuai was greatly shocked, he was tongue-tied: "What in the world is going on? Father! "
His father explained the situation in detail: "I had a fortuitous encounter, even though I was discovered in the end, I was quick-witted and purposely failed to construct Central Heaven Gate, I suffered heavy injuries from the backlash and used this reason to escape from the Celestial Court and come here."
"Dragonman reign supreme! My son, we, the Dragonman Race, are destined to replace the Human Race! This is fate Gu's revelation, we can definitely believe it!! "Wu Shuai's father's eyes shined brightly:" Do you know what this means? Quickly heal me and spread this news. I wonder how excited the dragonman Gu Immortals will be! "
"Father, rest well, I will do it now." Wu Shuai was also very excited, he quickly made arrangements for his father and left the room.
Not long after, he ran into Gu Liang.
Gu Liang learned that Wu Shuai's father had returned with heavy injuries, he came to greet him, seeing Wu Shuai's hesitation and struggle, he asked for the reason.
Wu Shuai and Gu Liang worked closely together, he already knew Gu Liang's true identity, he was not a human, he was a variant human Gu Immortal!
Wu Shuai was silent for a while before telling him the truth.
Gu Liang was also shocked, after reacting, he understood why Wu Shuai was hesitating.
"Wu Shuai, you did not gather the dragonmen and announced this news, it was the right decision. Once the Celestial Court finds out that this secret was leaked, they will definitely slaughter and cleanse the dragonman race! "
"But if we continue to hide it from the Celestial Court and make them think that no one knows about this secret, just this alone is not enough."
"Your father's actions are too strange, the fact that he came into contact with fate Gu is something we can investigate. Next, members of the Celestial Court will come to investigate this information. "
"Gu Liang knows me, this is what I am worried about!" Wu Shuai sighed: "What should we do now?"
Gu Liang hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Friend, didn't you think of this already? The only thing we can do now is to sacrifice your father and make it seem like he died from heavy injuries the moment he returned, we can escape this calamity! "
Wu Shuai's expression was pale, he took two steps back as he shook his head: "You want me to kill my father?! This is impossible! "
