Chapter 35: The Price of Ungodliness

"Not only did you report to her about me in your letters, but you also revealed to her the deployment of troops on the Dayan border.

"You are the Zhao family, the uncle of the King of Dayan. I really don't understand what you're doing this for. ”

Gu Xu paused for a moment and continued to smile and say.

It is extremely difficult for others to find the location of this secret room and discover the secrets hidden in it.

But Gu Xu, as the successor of the "Ziwei Emperor" and the owner of the "Astrolabe", has the ability to peek through the camouflage and calculate the truth.

Everything in the world, as long as he grasps a little clue, he can quickly follow the vine and find the truth.

Coupled with the "astrolabe", it can ignore most of the forbidden and spatial teleportation characteristics.

Long before the investigation began, he had quietly infiltrated the secret room.

The paper people on the ground are really just a front to attract the attention of the enemy.

The real formation is actually hidden underground.

This spell of displacing space was undoubtedly achieved with the help of the authority of "Qiankun".

Of course, if it was before, with Gu Xu's own true yuan, he would not be able to support a spell of such a scale at all - it was very likely that halfway through the spell, his true yuan would be completely exhausted.

However, in Jicheng, where the believers of the fire god gathered, the power of incense continued to converge into his meridians through the "Huilu" rune.

With the support of the power of the believers, he moved the rockery to the ground by mysterious means, and let the underground secret room appear in the courtyard without warning, so that the hidden secrets hidden in it were exposed in broad daylight.

There is no doubt that this is a fatal blow to Zhao Changqi's father and son and their henchmen.

Zhao Changqi stood in place in a daze, and after a long while, he recovered from the shock.

His first reaction was to make an excuse, saying that these things were used by others to frame him and had nothing to do with him.

But he quickly thought about it, Gu Xu had been hiding in the secret room for so long, and the things that should be checked should have been almost checked, in addition to this letter to Princess Zhaoning, there must have been a lot of other evidence.

This kind of clumsy lie should only deceive fools.

So he looked at Gu Xu and laughed: "What is the purpose of you asking me...... As a wanted criminal who escaped from Luojing, don't you know that Da Yan can't be Da Qi's opponent at all?

"Our battle with Daqi is like hitting a stone with an egg, and there can be no other result than a heavy defeat.

"The Yan King hundreds of years ago was a smart man. He knew the strength of both sides, so he chose to bow to Emperor Taizu of Great Qi and continue to extend Dayan's fate.

"I didn't expect that Zhao Changying, that fool, had just cultivated to become a 'true monarch', so he dared to go to Luojing to make trouble, and finally returned in embarrassment, and dragged the entire Dayan into the water, throwing a mess to his daughter.

"As a close confidant of my niece, you should know very well what kind of pressure she is facing right now.

"I'm also thinking about the future and destiny of this country......"

Gu Xu listened to his impassioned statement silently, and only felt that creatures like the "surrender faction" existed no matter what world they were in.

He can understand the other party's motives - when the enemy is strong and I am weak, he chooses to bow his head and bend his knees, and perhaps he can seek self-preservation.

But a lot of experiences in his past and present lives also told him that absolute strength does not mean absolute odds of winning, and sometimes miracles are born from those seemingly unnecessary persistence.

"Whether you want to surrender to the enemy, or if you want to endure humiliation and burden, these are all things that the king needs to have a headache, and it is useless for you to say it in front of me," Gu Xu smiled and responded, "I came here today to actually settle the personal grievances between us first." ”

"A personal vendetta? Aren't you still alive and well? ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I had learned a little bit of half-baked divination before, I would have died in the process of drinking tea."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of singing and rolled his eyes.

These actions that seem to be joking fell into the eyes of Zhao Changqi's father and son, but they seemed to be naked humiliation and provocation.

Zhao Yu was furious, and he waved his fist and was about to step forward to fight Gu Xu, but was stopped by Zhao Changqi reaching out.

"Don't be impulsive, you can't beat him."

"Why can't I beat him?" Zhao Yu frowned and shouted, "He is the fourth realm, and I am also the fourth realm, the two of us have a fair duel in the same realm, beat him to the heart, and obediently kneel in front of us crying and apologizing......"

Zhao Changqi shook his head and sighed.

He had never felt so stupid as he did today.

"Do you really think that your fourth realm is the same concept as his fourth realm? I'd better leave him to me. ”

As soon as the words fell, he held the "Tonghua Axe" tightly in his hand, and a translucent phantom suddenly appeared behind him.

It was a strange-looking beast, shaped like a horse, with scales, more than two feet long, and its hand was entwined with firelight.

The light is dazzling and menacing.

The whole body exudes a terrifying coercion, as if to make all beings worship in front of it.

Gu Xu recognized at a glance that this was a demon beast called "Xuan".

It seems that Zhao Changqi gave him enough respect in this battle, and he actually summoned his "Law Phase" as soon as he came up.

There was a worried look on the face of the head of Cai Jiaotou next to him.

He stepped forward and stopped in front of Gu Xu: "Master Gu, let me deal with him!" ”

Before tonight's operation, Zhao Yan didn't give him anything else, but repeatedly told him that to ensure Gu Xu's safety, he must not let him have an accident.

Cai Jiaotou didn't dare to imagine what kind of expression would appear on Zhao Yan's face if Gu Xu was a little injured in this battle.

However, before Cai Jiaotou could make a move, the phantom of the beast behind Zhao Changqi disappeared with a "bang" like fireworks.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Changqi and his son suddenly clutched their chests, snorted and fell to their knees, their expressions hideous and distorted, as if they were suffering some kind of inhuman torture.

Cai Jiaotou looked surprised.

He turned his head and looked at Gu Xu behind him, but saw that Gu Xu was still standing in place with an indifferent face, his right hand was raised, and then gradually pressed down.

In the depths of his eyes, the glow of the flames could be faintly glimpsed.

It seemed that he was close to the end of the day, but at this moment, in Cai Jiaotou's perception, he seemed to be standing high in the clouds, becoming a god who did not belong to this world.

With his movements, the True Yuan aura on Zhao Changqi's father and son became weaker and weaker, and they fell to several realms in an instant.

"God gave your ancestors the power of flames so that you have a foothold in this world," I heard Gu Xu say in a flat voice, "but because of your disrespect for God, He intends to take this power back." ”
