The surroundings were desolate with no signs of life.
Gu Qing Shan leaned back on his chair, stabbed the Blade in his hand to one side, and stretched his back in comfort.
Ye Ru Xi sat on the chair next to him, excitedly fiddling with a set of exquisite female armor.
— — the demons and devils had already left.
They cheered, jumped, and returned to the Five Elements Purgatory with great enthusiasm.
The Five Elements Purgatory was an extremely dangerous place to begin with, and the demons were experts in concealment and ambushes, so they were always able to find a chance to kill those heavenly beings.
A single heavenly being's head could be exchanged for a large amount of treasure.
Just as Gu Qing Shan said, this was a good deal.
So they all left.
At the entrance of the warehouse, other than Gu Qing Shan and Ye Ru Xi, there was only a single white-haired rat.
This white-haired rat was scratching its head as it paced back and forth in front of the warehouse, occasionally stopping to glance at Gu Qing Shan, then at the mountain of treasures behind him, its expression filled with irritation and anxiety.
Gu Qing Shan knew that it must have something to say, but he didn't ask and simply casually chatted with Ye Ru Xi.
The white-haired rat finally couldn't help but loudly asked:
"Elder Gu, how did you find this place?"
Gu Qing Shan casually replied: "That's a secret, I'll tell you if you pay me"
The white-haired rat smiled awkwardly, then asked: "Elder Gu, other than the heavenly being's head, is there nothing else I can do?"
"What kind of business do you want to do with me?" Gu Qing Shan smiled and asked.
The white-haired rat climbed up the back of the Blade, jumped onto the handle of the Blade, and spoke like it was presenting a treasure: "We Wind Demon Rats aren't experts at fighting, but we're top-notch when it comes to intelligence. If other demons want to know something, they would always ask us first"
"Ah?" Gu Qing Shan became serious and asked: "What do you know about the Five Elements Purgatory?"
"That would depend on what elder Gu wants to know" the white-haired rat cleverly replied.
Gu Qing Shan didn't want to beat around the bush, so she said directly, "How about this — for every piece of information you tell me, I will pay you according to the value of the information."
The white-furred rat jumped high and said excitedly, "Deal!"
It thought for a while, then said: "The Five Elements Purgatory is made up of five unique Five Elements, including the various tests of the Samsara. Only the truly outstanding Chosen Ones can stand out from it."
Gu Qing Shan gave Ye Ru Xi a meaningful glance.
Ye Ru Xi waved her hand to summon a palm-sized piece of green immortal jade.
"Take it."
Ye Ru Xi tossed the immortal jade in front of the white-furred rat.
The white-haired rat said disappointedly, "Only one immortal jade."
Gu Qing Shan bent down and said seriously: "Brother, you just said something that everyone knows, it's almost worthless. I'm already giving you a piece of immortal jade out of consideration for our friendship"
His tone became a bit more serious, then continued: "Brother Rat, if you want to get rich, pick the most important things to tell me, otherwise I won't bother listening to the next piece of information"
The white-furred rat immediately put the immortal jade away and loudly said: "Don't — — – elder Gu, I'll tell you a secret. The Beast King realm's Chosen Ones had already secretly sided with the Heaven realm, those Divine Beasts are the Heaven realm's minions"
"Really?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Really!"
"Swear an oath for me to see"
"This is something that the Heaven realm and the Beast King realm have both agreed to, I definitely won't lie to elder Gu, I'll swear an oath!"
The white-furred rat swore an oath of the Samsara in front of Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan lightly nodded.
— — -during the Elemental War, that Qilin was clearly a Divine Beast, but it was ordered by the Heaven realm to kill me.
Not to mention, the original Beast Kings wanted to kill the humans of the Beast King realm.
Shan Hai Qi Xia and the others encountered this.
Seems like it's true.
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Did those humans of the Beast King realm also side with the Heaven realm?"
The white-furred rat scoffed: "Humans? The Beast Kings didn't want them to continue living, and the Heaven realm also felt that the Beast Kings were easier to control, so they allowed the Beast Kings to think of a way to kill them "
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
He himself didn't touch the treasures in the warehouse, but signaled Ye Ru Xi with his eyes.
Ye Ru Xi stood up and took out a large chest filled with spirit treasures from the warehouse.
She carefully placed the chest in front of the white-furred rat.
The white-furred rat looked inside the chest and felt satisfied.
"Elder Gu, I'll tell you an even more important secret"
"What is it?"
"The heavenly beings had entered the Elemental Purgatory this time for a very important purpose"
"Go on"
"Elder Gu, they wanted to do something great for Emperor Heaven — — after all, everyone knows that Emperor Heaven is the leader of the Saint Chosens, the ruler of the world, having already left everyone else far behind; the heavenly beings had entered the Elemental Purgatory this time in order to help Emperor Heaven further expand his advantage"
Gu Qing Shan became serious and asked: "What exactly are the heavenly beings planning to do?"
"I don't know — — if I knew such a secret, I would most likely be dead already" the white-furred rat shrunk his body and replied.
"Then what's the point of telling me this?" Gu Qing Shan helplessly asked.
The white-furred rat lowered his voice: "Elder Gu, although I'm the most eye-catching member of the Demonic Wind Rat clan, I'm alone, so I wouldn't dare to pry into such a secret — — - but you do"
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
He leaned back in his chair and fell into thought for a while.
Ye Ru Xi observed him and spoke up: "Do whatever you want, if anyone dares to provoke you, I'll kill them"
Gu Qing Shan nodded and remained silent.
Suddenly, the world turned dark.
Wave after wave of sandstorms descended, wreaking havoc on the vast land.
Eerie noises resounded from the void of space.
The Wind Tribulation had begun!
Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up and loudly asked: "Are there any Tianma here?"
All the noises in the void of space stopped.
A voice answered: "Ah, so it was elder Gu, there don't seem to be any Tianma here"
"Then disperse, I'll try again" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Yes"
Many voices responded from the void of space.
Instantly, the sandstorm was blown away and the world returned to clarity.
Gu Qing Shan's mind moved.
— — -another Wind Tribulation!
Another storm arose!
Gu Qing Shan waited for a few moments, then asked: "Are there any Tianma here?"
The void of space shifted.
Several enchanting and beautiful women descended from above, bowing to greet him: "Young master Gu, is there anything you need?"
"Find Li Yang and tell her that I have something urgent to do. When the next Wind Tribulation comes, tell her to come see me" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Yes"
The Tianma all moved, flew up to the sky, and disappeared without a trace.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand at the void of space: "Everyone, disperse, I have a personal matter to attend to here"
The wind calmed down again.
A few moments later.
Gu Qing Shan once again activated his Wind Tribulation.
The void suddenly moved, and a beautiful woman descended from the sky. She walked in a zigzag manner and slowly stopped in front of him.
"You have something urgent to discuss with me?" she asked.
"Yes" Gu Qing Shan replied.
At this point, the void of space shifted again.
Several ghosts laughed maniacally as they appeared, tossing a head in front of Gu Qing Shan.
"Young master Gu, the deal is done!"
They loudly called out.
Li Yang turned around and asked in surprise: "You're killing those trash from the Heaven realm?"
"It's actually something even more important" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He then explained the situation.
Li Yang silently listened, walked up to the head, put her hand on it, and chanted an incantation.
The head suddenly came to life.
"Speak" Li Yang urged it.
The head looked at her with a fearful expression: "The Emperor Heaven … wants us … to uncover …"
Poof!
The head exploded into a mist of blood, then stopped moving.
"What's going on?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"The Heaven realm's soul vessel shackles can stop him from revealing that secret" Li Yang replied.
"In other words, there's no other way?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"Indeed, this is the Heaven realm's specialty — — - under the soul vessel shackles, no Tianma can say a complete sentence" Li Yang replied.
At this point, the head on the ground turned into the head of a ferocious demonic creature with a green face and sharp fangs.
Ye Ru Xi was intrigued: "It can still change after death?"
Li Yang scoffed, then replied: "This is its true appearance — — - it was originally a wraith, but it's disguised as a Tianma. In reality, there aren't any Tianma left in this era, they've all died out long ago"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at her.
— — the only Tianma left were the Tianma.
That's why Shifu kept Li Yang by her side?
That should be the case.
While thinking that, Gu Qing Shan cautiously asked: "Li Yang, are you sure that no Tianma can say a complete sentence of information?"
"Indeed, although I can order them to reveal a certain part of the information, they'll die if they say half a sentence at most" Li Yang regretfully replied.
"That's still half a sentence, right?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 That's right, you still haven't given up? 」 Li Yang froze.
Gu Qing Shan hesitantly said: "I have a small thought …"
…
A few hours later.
In a deserted wilderness.
This place was quite far away from the giant warehouse.
「 I can't be sure that your method will work, but it's worth a try 」 Li Yang said.
"Alright, let's begin" Gu Qing Shan said.
In front of the two of them, over a dozen human heads were neatly arranged in a row.
Ye Ru Xi wasn't here.
— — she was responsible for guarding the warehouse and giving out money to the demons.
Li Yang took a deep breath and muttered: 「 I've never thought of such a thing before 」
She flew forward, stretched out her finger, and quickly pointed at the skulls as she quickly chanted an incantation.
The skulls began to speak.
「 The Emperor Of Heaven … wants us … to uncover … 」
「 The … Merit Stones of the Five Elements Purgatory … 」
「 … It was used to build … the Elemental City … 」
「 The Samsara can't suppress the Apocalypse … 」
「 … The Elemental City … can protect … 」
「 The Saint's Chosen … 」
「 The Emperor Of Heaven … already has … 」
「 A city … he needs … 」
「 … Even more Merit Stones … 」
「 As the ruler of the city … we can obtain … the best … 」
「 A chance to evolve 」
The head continued to reveal the secret of the information, but after each sentence, it exploded into a mist of blood.
However, the next head said the rest of the sentence.
The mist of blood continued to explode, until the last sentence — — -
The entire information was complete.
