Chapter 181: Covenant Slave
This kind of idea may be despicable, but Rong Yuan really feels lucky. Perhaps with the spirit, he will face endless danger and pursuit from the god-king. But in this way, Gu Lingzhi ...... I can't live without him anymore!
He knew Gu Lingzhi even deeper than herself, and after he had sacrificed so much, she would never leave. Even if the other party becomes a god and goes to another world, he can't forget him. He...... is so despicable to take advantage of the other party's soft-heartedness.
Laughing at himself, Rong Yuan hugged Gu Lingzhi tightly again, and imprinted a soothing kiss on her forehead: "Don't worry, if there is really that day, those old antiques of the royal family will not be so stupid to put the royal family in crisis." The Rong family has been able to control the Xia Kingdom for so many years, relying on more than just strength. ”
What Rong Yuan didn't say was that when it was really a last resort, the most likely choice for the royal family was to hand over the two of them to protect the integrity of the royal family. So there is really no need to worry about the royal family being implicated by them, it is them who have to worry about it!
In the next few days, Gu Lingzhi never saw the man that day again, but I don't know if it was her illusion, I always felt that when she was competing in the past few days, someone was always secretly observing her, and when she pretended to look for it, those eyes disappeared again.
Rong Yuan didn't find any useful clues on his side. The men and his party that day seemed to have suddenly fallen from the sky, and their whereabouts could not be traced at all. It was as if what happened that day was just an illusion.
On this day, Gu Lingzhi competed in the martial arts arena as usual as a black thorn. Her opponent is a newbie who has never been seen before. Seeing her on the field, her eyes seemed to light up slightly, and then she calmed down, clenched her fists and reported to her family: "Duan Yiming, the peak of the spirit, I have long heard of the name of the Black Thorn, and please give me advice." ”
Gu Lingzhi nodded slightly: "Black Thorns, don't dare to teach you, please give some advice." ”
The two politely exchanged a few words, and the competition officially began.
At the beginning, Gu Ling only thought that this was a tourist who came to the capital from somewhere to play, and was curious to come down to the City of the Brave to try two games. But after a hundred moves, I don't think so anymore.
Although Duan Yiming on the opposite side is slightly downwind, he can deal with it appropriately. She had several self-conscious attacks, but they were all narrowly avoided by the other party. It looks messy under his feet, and he looks like he can beat at any time, but his toughness is surprisingly strong. The most important thing is how the other party dodges her attacks...... Déjà vu.
With a flash of light in his eyes, Gu Lingzhi deliberately sold a flaw, and the other party really attacked his chest, Gu Lingzhi then twisted his waist and turned over, and the Qingfeng sword stabbed towards the ground, using the force of the rebound to jump to the other side. Duan Yiming immediately followed, and an attack followed.
Like, too much like!
Wasn't this the trick that the mysterious man used to raid him that day? Could it be another temptation from the other party?
His eyes were slightly condensed, and Gu Lingzhi's attack suddenly accelerated, catching Duan Yiming off guard. Coupled with the moon stepping to the extreme, he almost formed an afterimage and approached Duan Yiming, and a sword was pressed against the opponent's throat.
"You ......" Gu Lingzhi just wanted to say that you are tired of such a temptation, and saw that the man I saw last time was standing under the stage, shaking his head at her with a serious and nervous expression, indicating that the other party was not his person.
“...... You're a good opponent. The words came to the mouth and turned a corner. Gu Lingzhi smiled at the other party as if nothing had happened, and left the test table.
She didn't have the heart to continue the next competition, so she said hello to a few people she knew well, and left the martial arts arena by herself. Seeing this, the mysterious man followed quietly.
Gu Lingzhi turned left and right, and arrived at the extremely familiar Splendid Pavilion. I asked for a private room, so I went inside and waited. As expected, it didn't take long for a knock on the door. Standing outside the door was the mysterious man of that day. As soon as he entered the house, the man spoke: "Duan Yiming is not my person. ”
"He's like you. Gu Lingzhi was noncommittal and pointed out an obvious fact.
The man didn't deny it, and sat down opposite Gu Lingzhi very casually: "We practice martial arts in one place, and the body techniques and moves we use must be similar in some places. ”
Gu Lingzhi was silent, motioning for the other party to continue, but in his heart he was measuring the authenticity of the other party's words.
Seeing this, the man sighed: "I know it's hard for you to believe me, but you can see it." Those who have come to test you have appeared. And the power behind him is so huge that you can't imagine. If you alarm the demigods, even I won't be able to help you. ”
Gu Lingzhi continued to be silent for a long time before he asked, "Why are you so sure that I am from the Spirit Clan?"
If it was just a temptation that made the other party so sure, and in the case of her categorical denial, she also recognized the identity of her spirit clan, and Gu Lingzhi would not believe it if she killed her. Before deciding on cooperation, she wanted to figure out where her identity was exposed, and when the identity of Black Thorn could not be used, she would ensure that her true identity would not be exposed.
How did you know that Gu Lingzhi's words came out, and the other party looked at her with a very strange look: "Didn't I say it clearly enough last time? Whether it is your exercises, your origin, or the elixirs you refine, they all have an inexplicable relationship with the Spirit Clan." And the Spirit Race has disappeared for so many years, how can you not make people suspicious when you come out like this now? And ......"
"Your reaction that day also made me sure of your identity, if you weren't from the Spirit Clan, you wouldn't have had such a big reaction to that sentence. It's hard for me to be sure. ”
Well, it turns out that the problem is still with her. Thinking of the other party's cold question about the words of the Spirit Clan that day, his subconscious panic, Gu Lingzhi wanted to punch himself. In vain, she thought she was calm enough, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't be quiet in the face of big things.
"How about it? Do you want to cooperate with me? The people over there...... Maybe something will happen tonight, aren't you worried about your own safety, aren't you worried that the news of the Spirit Clan's survival will be exposed?"
"What do you mean?" Gu Lingzhi sensitively sensed another layer of meaning in his words.
Could it be that the God-King is not sure if the Spirit Race has completely disappeared?
And the man's answer just proves this. It turned out that in the massacre before ancient times, Pan Luo and several other gods wiped out the spirit race that they could see, and there were too many killings, even they themselves didn't know whether there were any survivors of the spirit race.
And due to the impact of this disaster, the Tian Yuan Continent could no longer withstand the stay of the gods for too long. The Heavenly Dao spontaneously repels forces that surpass the demigods. Before being ostracized by the mainland, Pan Luo could only helplessly leave a few slaves as his eyeliner in the Tianyuan Continent.
For countless years, there have been one or two spirit-like figures every few thousand years. And the descendants of those Covenant slaves have also been chasing and killing suspicious people in accordance with the inheritance brand in their blood. But it was all a false alarm, and the Spirit Race was as if it was really extinct, and it never appeared again. But the God King never believed that the Spirit Race was really extinct, and never gave up the pursuit of the Spirit Race. And if he didn't retract the order for a day, the descendants of the Qinu were burdened with the fate of chasing the whereabouts of the Spirit Clan. There is no way to deviate from it, and it will never be free.
Noticing the somewhat gloomy look in his eyes when he said this, Gu Lingzhi asked tentatively, "Could it be that you are the descendant of Pan Luo's group of contract slaves?"
"Or else?" the man did not deny, and smiled a little sadly: "If it weren't for their descendants, how would they know what happened back then?"
You must know that the extermination of the spirit race at the beginning was not glorious, and all the gods and men were tight-lipped and regarded as taboo. Only their group of beings with the seal of the Kinu slave will know the truth of the year from the fate passed down from generation to generation.
"In that case, aren't you afraid of the slave seal backlash?" The slave who turns his back on his master will be punished by the way of heaven. Even if it has been passed down for countless years, as long as the person who left the mark is still there, the person who has the slave mark cannot betray it.
"Since I found you, I naturally have a way to avoid the prying eyes of the law. The man said. Looking at Gu Lingzhi: "How is it?, I've said so much, what about your decision?"
Gu Lingzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I can cooperate with you." But what about your purpose?"
Helping her like this, she didn't believe that the other party would ask for nothing.
"No purpose. The man's answer surprised her: "Perhaps...... Just to give future generations a glimmer of hope. ”
Even if Gu Lingzhi and the clansmen behind her were wiped out according to the will of the God King, as long as the God King did not believe it, their clan would still have to follow the other party's wishes and carry the mission for eternity. How many people are willing to be enslaved as soon as they are born? Even their words and deeds are invisibly monitored, and all their achievements do not belong to them?
He found Gu Lingzhi in order to seek that faint hope. The Spirit Clan has been in seclusion for so many years, and it may not be possible for a few gods to appear. Maybe someday in the future...... The remnants of the Spirit Race were able to kill the Divine Realm and pull the man from the throne down from the altar. And then, then they will be truly free.
Gu Lingzhi is the only Spirit Clan person who has appeared for so many years, does this mean ...... The Spirit Race already has the capital to fight against the God King, and plans to re-enter the world?
Gu Lingzhi naturally didn't know the other party's thoughts, and if he knew, he would definitely tell him not to dream. Even she herself didn't know what the situation was like now, let alone kill the gods.
But she could probably guess what the hidden meaning of the other party's words was, so she skipped the topic without breaking it and asked about another thing.
"Since you have decided to cooperate, would you like to introduce yourself?"
"It's nature. The man smiled slightly and spit out a salutation: "Call me Xiao Wu." ”
Gu Lingzhi nodded, and the face under the mask also showed a smile: "My name is Xiao Hei." ”
