Gu Qing Shan pushed the white handkerchief back to her.
A sense of killing intent suddenly filled the air.
The woman opened her emerald eyes wide and slowly observed Gu Qing Shan.
"Do you not trust Buttercup, or do you not trust me?" she asked.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on his chair, casually took out a bottle of liquor and poured himself a glass.
He raised his glass to the woman and gestured: "You're willing to tell me so many secrets because of your trust in Buttercup, as well as your recognition of me"
The woman didn't say anything and silently stared at him.
Gu Qing Shan continued: "But I don't trust the organizations of Void City too much. I believe that if too many people know about something, there will definitely be problems"
The woman replied: "You're worrying too much, we've always been keeping an eye on the wraiths — — - every wraith that enters Void City is under the watchful eye of many organizations, the wraiths have no way to bribe anyone in power under our watchful eye"
Gu Qing Shan shook his head: "You've been dealing with the wraiths for a long time, but you still don't understand one thing"
"What is it?" the woman asked.
"When the wraiths treat you, they use a mutually beneficial method of cooperation. For countless years, the wraiths that you've known have always been what they appear to be, not who they really are" Gu Qing Shan explained.
"Could it be that the wraiths that you've met are different from us?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "At the time, I was only an ant that they could erase at any time, so of course their attitude towards me was different"
He raised his glass, drank it all in one gulp, put it back on the table, leaned forward a bit, and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever seen a wild beast hunt?"
"Gu Qing Shan, what are you trying to say?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "For an inconspicuous fellow like me, the wraiths' way of doing things is to send someone to take me in as a slave — — - if I don't agree, I'll die"
"But when it comes to dealing with you, the wraiths pay particular attention to the art of hunting"
"The evil spirits will first observe, probe, pretend to be passing by, purposely befriend, find out the details, and find the right time. They will not attack, but once they do, they will definitely hit the target, leaving you with no chance to resist."
The woman thought about it and said, "Looks like you don't believe in our plan."
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I understand them very well — — - when I was killing particularly powerful opponents, I also did the same thing — — - when it comes to hunting and killing, it's nothing more than these methods"
The woman fell silent.
Buttercup only cared about eating and drinking. Similarly, she had no time to talk.
The woman thought for a while and asked, "If you were me, what would you do?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "If I were you, I would first send people to the Wraith realm to make arrangements and arrangements before the wedding, then use that chance to investigate the Wraith realm's background, then destroy them"
"Then I'll continue to stand guard at the rear?" the woman asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained." The woman shook her head.
"You can't sit under the eaves" Gu Qing Shan refuted her.
"Take the lead, sweep away everything before you" the woman continued.
"Throwing a meat bun at a dog, you'll never return" Gu Qing Shan waved his hand dismissively.
The woman lightly slammed the table and glared at him: "You think I'm a meat bun?"
Gu Qing Shan avoided this topic and patiently explained: "The evil spirits' target is you, so if you go, things will become difficult; but if you don't go, they won't be able to achieve their goal and can only wait, not daring to reveal their true identity"
The woman stared closely at him and said: "I know that the master of the twin swords Heaven and Earth is a sword cultivator"
"I am a sword cultivator" Gu Qing Shan admitted.
"Sword cultivators should be brave warriors who don't fear death, they should be the first to charge into battle, why do you value your life so much?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan seemed to have thought of something as his expression became a bit gloomy.
After a moment of silence, he spoke with a hoarse voice: "You only have one life, if you don't have to, don't give up your life so easily"
The woman stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
At a certain point, she abruptly stopped and resolutely said: "Our Void City has been planning and preparing for so many years, waiting for this moment. The arrow is already on the bowstring, there's no choice but to release it, either way, I won't change my mind just because of a few words from you"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I agree, but I hope that you can give me another identity — — - this identity must not be known to anyone other than yourself"
The woman shook her head: "The people who came with me to the Wraith realm are my dowry, my personal guards, as well as the VIPs of Void City. Every single one of them has a name, none of them have the kind of identity you're talking about!"
Gu Qing Shan stood up, walked in front of her, and muttered: "You can't be careless when dealing with the wraiths, there must be a secret behind them, a secret that no one knows about — — I hope that you can help me think of an identity that no one knows about, consider it a backup plan for yourself"
"A backup plan …" the woman muttered.
Gu Qing Shan took out a black leather book from the void of space and flipped it open.
He then took out a Card from the book and muttered: "By my name of Condemnation, bestow power"
The Card abruptly glowed.
Gu Qing Shan tossed the Card to the woman and said: "I'm not a person who doesn't do anything, take this Card and use it on your personal guards, see how effective it is"
The woman received the Card and stared at it.
This Card depicted a group of people in tattered clothes, their bodies surrounded by a yellowish fog, kneeling on the ground and praying devoutly. In the sky above them, a man with a pair of wings of light spread out from his back appeared compassionate, his entire body exuding a blinding white light.
The woman was also a knowledgeable person, so she quickly exclaimed in shock: "This is an Inner Plane Card! I can sense its power … there's no mistaking it, this is an extremely powerful purification technique! "
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
After the [Divine Word – Purification] Card had been upgraded to dark purple, it had turned into a new Card — —
[Divine Word – Abjuration]
[Activating this Card can eliminate all controlling powers, even living beings and substances that are attached to the Deities and living beings]
[Note: Can be used on multiple targets, eliminating all controlling powers at once]
After Gu Qing Shan became the Angel of Condemnation, not only did his Card evolve, but he also gained the ability to bestow the Card onto others.
"Take this Card and use it on your personal guards, they'll be able to investigate those who are being controlled" Gu Qing Shan told him.
"What's the incantation?" the woman asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "The life and death of all things is but an instant, with my power of Condemnation, all the evil controlling you shall be eliminated"
The woman looked at him deeply and said: "Condemnation Cards are the highest grade of Cards, if you're willing to help me, I will try to think of a way to grant you an identity"
"It's best if you listen to me, and don't go to the Wraith realm, stay in Void City and direct everything" Gu Qing Shan said.
The woman shook her head and said: "That has already been decided, there's no way to change it — — I'm going to try this Card first"
After saying so, she disappeared.
The only people left in the room were Gu Qing Shan and Buttercup.
"Impatient …"
Gu Qing Shan muttered, sat back down, and poured herself another glass of liquor.
Buttercup took the glass away and angrily said: "Don't drink, this is such an important moment"
Gu Qing Shan begrudgingly gave up.
"How many controlled guards do you think she'll be able to capture with that Card of yours?"
Xiao Die asked, then picked up the wine glass and poured it into her mouth.
"All of them" Gu Qing Shan replied.
Pfft — — -
Buttercup spat out the liquor in her mouth onto Gu Qing Shan's face.
"Ah, sorry about that"
"It's fine, it's fine"
Gu Qing Shan formed a hand seal to wipe the liquor off her face.
"Are you really that pessimistic?" Buttercup asked.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm not pessimistic, it's just that the struggle between life and death has always been this cruel and vicious. The wraiths would only act when they have an absolute advantage"
"For the wraiths to propose to marry this Void City Lord's daughter, they must have prepared everything in advance"
"Is there no chance of a fluke at all?" Buttercup asked.
Gu Qing Shan shrugged: "Luck is a different situation, not within the scope of our discussion"
The two of them suddenly went silent.
When the woman reappeared, the Card from before was no longer in her hand.
Her complexion was a bit pale.
Buttercup hurriedly asked: "How was it?"
The woman replied: "As soon as the purification technique was activated, all the guards who were chosen to enter the Wraith realm were killed, while the ones who weren't chosen were all alive"
Buttercup glanced at Gu Qing Shan with a smile.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change at all, only saying: "That's why I advise you not to go — — - as long as you don't go, the game will not begin, and victory and defeat will still be unknown"
"What happened just now can't be hidden any longer, the situation will only become more and more dangerous, Gu Qing Shan, come with me"
The woman came forward, grabbed Gu Qing Shan's hand, and once again disappeared without a trace.
The room returned to silence.
— — -only Buttercup was left.
Buttercup blankly sat there for a while, then shrugged speechlessly.
Her son suddenly appeared and yawned: "Mom, I've dispelled the concealing technique"
Buttercup nodded, then continued to mutter: "Just like that, a girl was lured away …"
Her son said: "I have to correct myself, the one who was lured away was the strongest girl in this city"
Buttercup turned to her son.
Her son was surprised, then hurriedly smiled: "Mom, you're also very strong, but you're a young married woman, so your rank is a bit higher"
