Chapter 43: Falling from the Altar
Gu Xu's right hand clenched into a fist slightly.
Under the control of the "Domination" authority, the several cursed threads that Xiao Zeyao had just manipulated suddenly changed direction and became entangled with each other.
In an instant, the majestic power of the curse was like a huge wave on the sea, colliding together, forming a terrifying impact in all directions.
Xiao Zeyao couldn't help but take a few steps back.
The backlash caused by the failure of the curse was not pleasant to him.
Although the Taishang Haotian projection in the palace had already told him that Ziwei was proficient in a variety of Dao True Meanings, don't look at his low realm at this time, the various means he mastered should not be underestimated.
But he still couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see Gu Xu crack his death curse in such a strange way, and even make him suffer a lot of losses.
"It can be seen that your heart is moved," the corners of Gu Xu's mouth turned up slightly, and then said, "You hate Taishang Haotian who took away your body and status, and you are desperate to change the status quo in your heart, you forced me to come to Yishui County to meet, not only to complete Taishang Haotian's task, but also for yourself."
"If that's what you think...... So I'll tell you right now, you've found the right person.
"Not long ago, I used a very special method to rescue Zhao Changying from the hands of Lord Yama...... As you may have heard, it's called the 'Forbidden Spell', but it has to be used the other way around, and it can turn ghosts into Terrans. ”
"Bright ......"
Gu Xu's words obviously touched Xiao Zeyao's heartstrings. The voice from beneath the mask trembled slightly, repeating the little-known but thrilling word.
However, Xiao Zeyao had just spit out two words when his voice stopped abruptly, as if forcibly cut off by an invisible force, preventing him and Gu Xu from continuing to discuss this topic.
The smile on the corner of Gu Xu's mouth became more and more playful.
He knew very well that Taishang Haotian's will to dare to release Xiao Zeyao's ghost body from the ground, he must be sure - he must have the means to control Xiao Zeyao's actions and prevent his betrayal.
Of course, Gu Xu didn't expect to really be able to turn enemies into friends with Xiao Zeyao and discuss deals.
The most important reason why he threw bait at Xiao Zeyao again and again was actually to let Taishang Haotian and Xiao Zeyao fight in the spiritual world.
He took the opportunity to buy time for the people of Yishui to lift the curse.
As he expected.
At the moment when Xiao Zeyao was caused a little bit of emotional turmoil by the words "Zhao Ming Forbidden Technique", the Taishang Haotian projection in the palace made a move, and simply and neatly snuffed out all the thoughts that Xiao Zeyao should not have in his mind.
This also made Xiao Zeyao's mind blank for a moment, and he couldn't pay attention to Gu Xu anymore.
In the duel of masters, every moment of hesitation has the possibility of turning the situation around.
The black curse thread in Xiao Zeyao's hand all dissipated like smoke.
…………
"You still don't want to trust me."
At this moment, in the ethereal space of consciousness, Xiao Zeyao looked up at the projection of Taishang Haotian above the high level, and said in a rather yin and yang tone.
"Do you think I can trust you?"
The golden figure on the high seat replied in an emotionless tone. The sound was not so much a human as a cold machine.
Xiao Zeyao laughed, the shackles in his hands collided, making a crisp sound of metal.
"Because of your distrust," he paused, "we've fallen into Zi Weiming's trap." The curse I finally set was easily broken by him because of your existence.
"You said that you would let me deal with Ziwei, but in fact, you hindered me everywhere. Since you can't trust me so much, then it's better for you to solve Ziwei by yourself, and I'll go back to the bottom of the well and go to sleep. ”
The figure on the high seat did not speak again, but looked down at him condescendingly with an indifferent gaze, like a god overlooking the world in the clouds.
…………
The sound of a "crunch" broke the silence of the night.
When Gu Xu and Xiao Zeyao met in Yishui County, Shangguan Jin pushed open the crimson door and walked into the Shangcang Temple in Liangzhou Mansion with Zhao Yan-
To be precise, this place should now be called the "Ziwei Temple".
Because the statue of Taishang Haotian in the temple has long been knocked down and withdrawn, now there is only a silver-haired Ziwei Emperor statue left, standing alone on the high platform for worship.
Zhao Yan looked up at the extremely majestic gorgeous crown and the Xuanxi dragon gon of the Ziwei God Statue, the dignified and solemn, indifferent and detached expression, and suddenly the burning and lustful gaze of Gu Xu when he was lying on the bed, as well as the crazy and competitive performance, couldn't help but laugh softly.
"Why is Madame laughing?" Noticing Zhao Yan's expression, Shangguan Jin next to him asked lightly.
"These gods seem to be sanctimonious," Zhao Yan replied, "but when they leave the altar, they are no different from mortals." ”
Her words fell into the ears of others, and they might think that this was a mockery of Taishang Haotian from the enemy's standpoint.
But Shangguan Jin could hear that Zhao Yan was showing off in front of her and asserting sovereignty aggressively.
What Zhao Yan wants to show is that under Gu Xu's calm and breezy appearance, there is another side that no one knows - and she herself is the only person in the world who has the opportunity to see that side.
Shangguan Jin sighed silently.
She didn't know how to tell the newly married wife that her husband was not the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei at all, but a complete change of person.
The genius monk who used to dominate Luojing City is now gone, leaving only a strange body.
"According to the instructions of the head of Luo," Shangguan Jin was silent for a moment, "we need to transport the three statues of the Great Emperor Ziwei, including this statue, to Yishui County for the emperor to use in battle." ”
"What is Gu Xu going to do with these statues?" Zhao Yan asked.
"That's not something we need to worry about, says Boss Lock."
Just now, after Gu Xu disappeared, Shangguan Jin, under the urging of Zhao Yan, immediately contacted Luo Chuan.
When Luo Chuan said that "the emperor is safe and sound at present" and "I am also cooperating with the emperor to deal with the enemy", Zhao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew very well that Luo Chuan's actual cultivation was far greater than the seventh realm on the bright side. After all, her father Zhao Changying was dying of a golden divine thunder from Emperor Tianxing in the Zichen Palace, but Luo Chuan was able to save Zhao Changying quietly under the nose of Emperor Tianxing.
With Gu Xu's strength, which made her more and more unable to see through the depths, coupled with Luo Chuan's protection, she must be able to get out safely even if she can't kill the enemy. (End of chapter)
