Light Fortress

Chapter 1729 - 384: They Won’t Survive

The Temple of the Netherworld King was filled with the leftover capsules from the Gene Act.

This secret is related to Gu Shen’s identity.

Therefore, Mu Wanqiu would never disclose it on her own.

This trip to Qinghe District was indeed quite uneventful, with the only memorable thing being the pitiful person who barely escaped the Frost Iron Mountain Disaster Zone, only to be consumed by Netherworld Poison, who locked themselves in a coffin with the last ounce of strength while still conscious.

This story was not easy to tell to Shen Li.

"As for the result of my fight with Gu Shen... of course, I lost."

Mu Wanqiu said calmly, "There should be no suspense about that."

"I want to see the footage."

Shen Li said through gritted teeth, "Of course, I know you lost, I want to see how you lost!"

"There is no footage."

Mu Wanqiu replied indifferently, "During the fight, I cut off Deep Sea’s information capture function."

What a joke, she’s an Angel Envoy!

If the fight were recorded and transmitted to the deep water area, it would be disastrous!

Gu Shen silently sipped his tea.

There really was footage...

Chu Ling had watched the entire battle, and there must be footage of the fight preserved in the Zero-One Carriage.

However, this footage would be locked in the Array Box Sea Area, and would never be shared outside.

"I didn’t win by much in that fight."

Gu Shen cleared his throat and slowly began, "If I have to say... it was a narrow victory."

"Not a narrow victory?"

Shen Li widened his eyes, speaking in disbelief.

He had watched the footage of Gu Shen’s duel with Jia Wei at Red Lake dozens of times...

To be able to fight Gu Shen evenly, doesn’t that mean Mu Wanqiu also has power on par with Jia Wei?

A top-level Titled!

"...No need to spare my feelings."

Mu Wanqiu shook her head and said, "This fight was only halfway done, I didn’t use the Taboo Seal or any authority, I lost completely, much like the fight with Bai Xiu... The situation at the time didn’t seem too lopsided, but in reality, I had no chance of winning, the longer the fight dragged on, the worse I would lose."

Although she greatly desired victory, she never lied about such matters.

Whether it’s a narrow victory or a crushing defeat.

It boils down to winning or losing.

Reflecting on the duel at Zhaiyun Mountain, she could only let out a long sigh within her heart.

She had prepared many trump cards for this fight... Unfortunately, after deploying all of them at Zhaiyun Mountain, Gu Shen dismantled them one by one.

After the First Domain was torn apart.

The more Mu Wanqiu attempted to bridge the gap of "withered leaves on a high mountain" within her heart.

The more frustrated she became.

In the end... the result of this fight was that she stopped, announcing the end.

Gu Shen fought with her wholeheartedly.

"You’re already very strong, extremely strong."

Gu Shen recalled and added, "If it weren’t for encountering me, you would most likely have won."

"Um... excluding Bai Xiu too."

Mu Wanqiu continued to shake her head, "In this world, there are only a handful of brilliant talents, if you exclude them all, what’s the point?"

Their conversation was shrouded in mist, with no useful information to be found.

Little Iron Man was anxious on the side, wanting to interject several times, but couldn’t find the right opportunity.

How did it become revered like a high mountain?

How is it that you’re also not bad?

"Alright, stop teasing."

Gu Shen smiled, "This time we left in a hurry, and you’ve been out on task with me for a week, exhausted to the point of breathlessness, so I deliberately gave you a break. The address of the Netherworld King Temple Disaster Zone is in Frost Iron Mountain, Qinghe District, and the temple has indeed been abandoned. I’ve contacted the people from Huazhi to handle the disaster zone."

"Huazhi, why not contact the Transcendents of Jiangbei?"

Shen Li was stunned and asked instinctively.

"The temple is stocked with a large number of Gene Act life capsules." Gu Shen said indifferently, "These capsules... have always been handled by Huazhi in the past, and will continue to be handled by them now."

"Gene Act life capsules?"

Shen Li suddenly realized something.

Qinghe District is Gu Shen’s hometown.

"There’s really nothing bad to say about it." Gu Shen shrugged, "Everyone knows I am an orphan. Although there is no direct evidence linking me to the life capsules at Frost Iron Mountain, I believe that there must be a certain degree of connection between the Gene Act and myself."

The natural occurrence probability of an S-level ability like Chi Huo is close to zero.

"This..."

After Gu Shen revealed his origins, the atmosphere suddenly turned a bit cold.

Shen Li somewhat regretted his insistence on getting to the bottom of it.

"Alright, it’s no big deal."

Gu Shen patted Little Iron Man on the shoulder and said, "I heard the Gu Family Envoy is back... Later, you guys join me at the Gu Family Ancestral Hall to ask about the follow-up to the West Continent scripture."

...

...

"...That’s essentially the follow-up to the West Continent scripture."

It took a long time.

Gu Nanfeng detailed the gist of this journey to the west, of course... from his perspective.

After listening, Gu Qilin and Zhou Wei both fell into deep thought.

"The Light God’s Seat wants to ally with the Gu Family to change the current camp alignment?"

Gu Qilin rubbed his temples.

He only felt that the amount of information brought back from this western journey was overwhelmingly large.

"He indeed expressed this view at the bottom of Red Lake."

Gu Nanfeng said in a low voice, "But the cost would be promoting the Act..."

"So you directly refused?"

Gu Qilin raised an eyebrow.

"Of course."

Gu Nanfeng was slightly surprised by the old man’s question, "We expended great effort to expel the proposal for the Act."
