Gu Qing Shan didn't move.
The other party was pointing his spear at him, which was obviously a warning.
As soon as he overreacted, the other party would immediately activate the Samsara Divine Skill.
"You're here to kill me?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That's right, who told you to kill the district magistrate and so many people?" the middle-aged man replied.
"Then why aren't you attacking?" Gu Qing Shan asked again.
"Everyone's powers have been sealed, but you were able to escape from my Divine Skill twice, so there's only one possibility, you are — — -" the middle-aged man said.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan immediately followed up, "I've awakened the Samsara Divine Skill"
— — awakened my ass.
But if I don't go along with what the other party said, it'll only make things worse.
I need to get out of this situation first, then activate the Red Dragon Origin Hex!
The middle-aged man glanced at the Youlan orchid in Gu Qing Shan's hand and understood.
"I saw it just now, you were able to summon help from thin air — — which path's Divine Skill is that?" he probed.
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan immediately understood his intentions and replied: "Of course it's the Huang Quan realm, I'm the Deity of Huang Quan, the real deal"
"Huang Quan?" the middle-aged man stared closely at her and asked.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "You chased after me because I killed the district magistrate? In truth, he was hiding a lot of secrets and secretly joined the Wraith realm, so I killed him because I couldn't stand it anymore "
The middle-aged man appeared surprised and muttered: "Joined the Wraith realm?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have to specifically act to take away his Saint's Chosen qualification and banish him to Huang Quan" Gu Qing Shan held the Youlan orchid in her hand and said with an unhappy expression.
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Qing Shan suspiciously.
— — this person had given him too much information, he needed a bit of time to digest it.
Gu Qing Shan didn't give him any time to think and continued: "The Wraith realm only has a single Saint Chosen, so he has the support of the entire Wraith realm's Origin. This time, I was ordered to come out and secretly investigate, only to find that the district magistrate had sided with the Wraith realm's Saint Chosen, currently helping him contact the Heavenly Demon Horde"
"The Sky Demon Horde had already gone to meet the Wraith realm's Saint's Chosen One"
"To prevent the situation from escalating, I decisively killed him. Unfortunately, the Wraith realm's Saint's Chosen One disappeared again"
"I was chasing after him, but I didn't expect you to catch up and stop me here."
While saying that, Gu Qing Shan snorted in annoyance.
— — The amount of information he received was simply explosive.
Moreover, at least seventy percent of the story was true.
The middle-aged man was stunned.
He stood still for a long while before speaking: "The Heavenly Court has always been looking for the Wraith realm's Saint's Chosen One, I didn't think that person would appear in such a secluded place"
The Heavenly Court.
Gu Qing Shan silently muttered, then coldly chuckled: "That person is quite smart, knowing that only a secluded place like this could be considered safe, so he secretly came here to meet up with the Tianma"
The middle-aged man scowled: "The Tianma truly are a troublesome existence — — right, did you manage to find out the Lord of the Tianma's true name?"
True name — —
Gu Qing Shan went silent for a split second.
Everything that happened in the past quickly replayed in his mind.
The Tianma hated the Samsara to the bone, wishing that the Samsara would be destroyed by the Apocalypse.
It was only after I made a pact with the Tianma to enter the Samsara Clash for Supremacy that they decided to help me.
Seems like they've been hiding very well.
— — -could it be that the Heavenly Court doesn't even know Li Yang's name?
Names were a very common thing. Perhaps this person was just testing him?
If he really was testing me, how should I answer?
On the other hand, if the Heavenly Court really doesn't know Li Yang's name, how should I answer?
This is a situation where I can't satisfy both sides, if I try to fool around, it will only draw suspicion.
— — in short, I can't tell anyone about Li Yang's name.
If her name really does have some sort of use that the Heavenly Court can use to track me down, that won't be good.
While these things took a long time to describe, it only lasted for a split second in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
He spoke up: "Wait a minute, who are you to ask me about this?"
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to reply, he coldly chuckled: "This official was ordered by the Heavenly Court to carry out this top-secret mission, I have the authority to make decisions on the spot and mobilize countless people at any time. You're only here to kill a wanted criminal, what right do you have to question this official?"
The middle-aged man froze.
— — -this time, he has to make a choice.
If everything the other party says is false, how should I answer?
On the other hand, if the other party really is the Shangguan in charge of this secret mission, what right do I have to stop him from questioning me?
This is also a situation where I can't satisfy both sides, I can't fool around.
The middle-aged man was contemplating this in his mind.
If the other party is an imposter, the most I can do is let a wanted criminal go.
But if the other party really is the Shangguan — —
The Saint's Chosen of Huang Quan aren't to be trifled with, if I offend him, I won't have a good time in the future.
Who can guarantee that they'll never die?
Especially during the Apocalypse of the past, as well as during this time when the Samsara has been rebooted, there's a high chance that everyone will end up in Huang Quan.
If there's a deity in Huang Quan that remembers you and waits for you to die …
That wouldn't be a good feeling.
The middle-aged man sighed and replied: "There's nothing I can do, Tianma come and go without a trace, only their true names can reveal their whereabouts, I was just too impatient, please don't take it to heart, sir"
Then he changed the topic: "I was ordered to capture the culprit this time, but I didn't think there would be a secret of the Wraith realm hidden here, how should I report this?"
— — -very well, the ball is now in my court.
Understanding that, Gu Qing Shan didn't put on any airs and spoke with a gentle voice: "For some secrets, the more you know, the closer you are to death, that's why we Huang Quan people are the ones to do this, do you understand?"
The middle-aged man nodded and waited for her to continue.
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then said: "You don't need to know the names of the Tianma, you only need to know that I'm currently chasing after the Wraith realm's Saint's Chosen. How about you come with me? Once we capture that person, it'll be a great achievement, at which point, I'll return to the Heaven Court with you and report your contributions, what do you think?"
The middle-aged man froze.
— — -are you using me?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Didn't I come to capture him? Why am I being used by him instead?
The middle-aged man's mind was in chaos, afraid of letting the criminal go, but also afraid of offending this Huang Quan Saint's Chosen, so he didn't know what to say.
Seeing his expression, Gu Qing Shan knew what he was thinking.
"Ahahaha" Gu Qing Shan laughed: "I know what you're worried about, but this is a secret, and there are several levels between us, so it's normal for you to not know about the higher-ups' matters. How about we fight and let our strength speak for itself?"
The middle-aged man looked at Gu Qing Shan in disbelief.
— — -if he really was a murderer, he would have retaliated as soon as I appeared just now.
But he told me so much, only to say we're going to fight.
If he's not a Superior, why would he tell me so much?
He told me so much, only to turn around and say we're going to fight and let our strength speak for itself.
Isn't that unnecessary?
Seems like he really is a Superior.
The middle-aged man became a bit more respectful and tried asking: "Sir, my Samsara Divine Skills can't hold back"
Gu Qing Shan rolled up her sleeves with a troubled expression: "Don't worry, you won't be able to kill me, but you might die instead — — what if I fail?"
"What do you mean, sir …" the middle-aged man asked.
"Just one strike, a single strike will give you a better chance of survival" Gu Qing Shan replied.
One strike?
The middle-aged man was a bit more convinced.
— — -if she wasn't truly powerful, why would she dare to say such a thing?
That would only make me die even faster!
If she really managed to heavily wound me in a single strike, that would prove her identity.
The middle-aged man put his spear away, first bowed, then assumed a stance and respectfully said:
"Sir, I'm going to attack"
"Hm, just do your best" Gu Qing Shan replied.
— — -only one strike.
When the Red Dragon Origin Hex activates, I'll have him stab me with his spear, then I'll take that chance to attack. I'll kill him if I can, but it doesn't matter if I can't, as long as he can't hurt me in a single strike.
It's best if he survives.
I'll need him to help me kill the 5-Elemental monsters later on.
While Gu Qing Shan was planning, her eyebrows twitched.
The middle-aged man also sensed it.
The two of them looked towards a certain direction.
There was no one there, but they could sense intense killing intent.
"What a shocking presence, is that sir's subordinate?" the middle-aged man asked.
Gu Qing Shan went silent without saying anything.
If he asked that, then it definitely isn't his subordinate.
Who could it be?
While he was thinking, he saw a horse galloping towards him from the end of the mountain path.
A woman was riding on the horse.
— — -she raised the Blade in her hand!
Gu Qing Shan's expression changed and shouted: "Don't kill him!"
The woman coldly scoffed.
The Blade in her hand disappeared.
A gust of wind blew past, carrying a sense of loneliness.
Pfft!
A human head flew high into the air.
As soon as the middle-aged man raised his spear, the headless corpse fell to the ground.
From afar, the woman's voice could be heard:
"I came to save you, but you're trying to deceive me?"
