Chapter 107 Meeting an old friend again
Gu Mingchuan followed Qingxia with a gloomy face to a large courtyard at the back. After passing through the moon gate, he smelled a pleasant floral scent.

I saw that the yard was full of orchids, the flowers were in full bloom and the fragrance was overwhelming.

In the pavilion, sat a girl in purple.

The first time Gu Mingchuan saw her, he was struck by her beauty.

This was the first woman who made his heart beat faster the first time they met after he traveled through time. In terms of appearance and temperament, no woman he had ever met could compare to her.

He walked to the pavilion and said politely, "Hello, Miss. Thank you for your care these days. It helped me heal my injury so quickly."

The purple-robed girl looked up at him and said, "You are welcome, sir. In fact, I saved you because I have something to ask of you."

I like dealing with people who don't beat around the bush.

Gu Mingchuan said, "Miss, please tell me. I will do my best to help you as long as I can."

"I have a good friend whose grandfather passed away, and she is going home to attend the funeral. But Wanzhou has not been very peaceful recently, and I am worried that she will encounter danger on the road, so I would like to ask you to secretly protect her for a while."

Gu Mingchuan has found out where this place is in the past few days.

Wanzhou belongs to the border of Wei Dynasty and is separated from Pingzhou by several states.

He and Huo Shaofeng chased each other for two days and two nights, and they both ran thousands of kilometers.

Further west of Wanzhou is the Western Zhu Kingdom.

In a border area like this, the security is definitely not as good as that in inland areas.

This request doesn't sound that difficult.

Gu Mingchuan decided to ask, "Where is your good friend's hometown?"

The purple-clothed girl said, "Wanzhou Taiyan City. It's more than 800 miles away."

It's more than 800 miles, and it won't take more than five days if you ride a horse.

He immediately agreed, "Okay, I will do my best to protect your friend."

If it is beyond his ability, he can only say sorry.

"In that case, thank you very much, sir."

"Oh, I forgot to ask, what's your name, Miss?"

"My surname is Chu."

"It turned out to be Miss Chu. I wonder why Miss Chu chose me?"

The purple-clothed girl sighed and said, "My lord, you don't know that my friend is very stubborn. Not long ago, she had a quarrel with me. If she knew that I sent someone to protect her, she would definitely send them back. I was really worried about her, so I had to find a stranger to protect her."

"I see."

……

The next day.

Gu Mingchuan saw the person he was to protect, a beautiful girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was full of heroism and had a long whip hanging around her waist, but at this moment there was some anxiety and sadness between her brows.

A guard beside him said to him, "That is the eldest daughter of the Qiu family."

He nodded to show that he understood.

He was also a member of the guard team at this time. This was arranged for him by Miss Chu, replacing one of the guards.

For this, he spent more than an hour last night imitating the guard's face, finally disguising himself as the guard so that people around him would not notice his flaws.

In addition, there is a guard working with him, so the possibility of being exposed is greatly reduced.

I have to say that Miss Chu really put a lot of effort into this close friend of hers.

Now, Gu Mingchuan's name is Zhang Mingde. He is an ordinary guard with the cultivation level of the third level of Gangyuan. In the guard team, his strength is considered to be below average.

This guard team consists of more than a dozen people, all of whom are above the Gangyuan realm.

Among them are two Shenzang Grandmasters, and the most powerful one is at the third level of Shenzang.

From this we can see that the Qiu family of Taiyan City is quite powerful.

……

Miss Qiu had been traveling for the past two days. She was obviously in a hurry to get back, so she rode non-stop and changed horses several times.

There were no accidents on the way.

That night, it was Gu Mingchuan and his companion's turn to keep watch, and they hid in a big tree respectively.

He asked in a voice transmission, "Lü You, I think the road is pretty peaceful. At this speed, we should be able to reach Taiyan City tomorrow."

The man named Lu You was the guard arranged by Miss Chu to cooperate with him.

"I hope nothing will happen tomorrow. You may not know that the leader of the Black Bull Village is celebrating his 40th birthday recently. All kinds of monsters and demons in Wanzhou have heard the news and want to grab some treasures to celebrate the birthday of the leader of the Black Bull Village."

Heiniuzhai?
Gu Mingchuan slapped his head and remembered that Heiniuzhai was at the border of Wanzhou and Yunzhou.

Wanzhou is also within the influence range of Heiniuzhai.

He has some connections with the Black Bull Village. If he really meets a master from the Black Bull Village and reveals his identity, I wonder if he can turn his enemy into friend?

The main reason is that it is unclear how much influence Qi Junhao, the ninth leader of Heiniuzhai, has.

Gu Mingchuan was thinking when suddenly his ears moved and he caught a conversation in the camp.

It was Miss Qiu, and her voice was very angry, "...This is too much. In order to please the Black Bull Village, the He family actually wants to steal the Five Lights Spiritual Spring from our Qiu family!"

Five-colored spiritual spring?

When Gu Mingchuan heard this name, his eyes lit up.

This is a very rare spiritual object, which is exactly what the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" needs, and can be used to open the "Eye Divine Treasure". He was worrying about where to find this Five-Colored Spiritual Spring, but he didn't expect that he would get it without any effort.

Now, he has more than 2.3 billion ambition points in his account, and he can break through to the fifth level of Shenzang by adding points at any time.

However, he was still hesitant because there were too many things to add now, so he would save as much as possible.

If you can find a spiritual object, you can save half of the points.

That is four hundred million.

He had already thought it through. If he couldn't find any clues about those spiritual creatures within a month, he would just add points to improve his cultivation.

Now, we have the clue of the Five-Colored Spiritual Spring.

Gu Mingchuan pricked up his ears and continued listening.

All I could hear was the voice of an older woman, "Miss, the master has passed away, and there is no one in the family who can compete with the He brothers. If we don't give the spiritual spring to them, the entire Qiu family might be doomed."

"I would rather perish together with them than let them get away with it—"

After that, I couldn’t hear what they said anymore. They must have been isolated by someone’s true energy.

……

Gu Mingchuan asked Lu You through voice transmission, "Who are the He brothers?"

Miss Qiu's voice just now was so loud that everyone in the entire camp heard it.

Lu You said, "They are two big thieves who have been active around Taiyan City, specializing in attacking caravans trading between Wei and Xizhu. These two are extremely powerful, both of them are at the eighth level of Shenzang, and they are cunning and suspicious. The Demon Suppression Bureau once sent out a strong man at the Dharma Image Realm, but they spent several months and still failed to capture them. They are extremely difficult to deal with."

Gu Mingchuan was surprised, "Such a lone thief actually wants to curry favor with the Black Bull Village."

"Of course. The Black Bull Village is the leader of the bandits in Wanzhou and Yunzhou. It is the existence of the Black Bull Village that has restrained all the powerful Dharma masters in the northwest of the court, and they dare not move lightly. Therefore, the banditry in these states is rampant. If it were in the inland, how could bandits like the He brothers dare to be so arrogant?"

Gu Mingchuan thought to himself, it seems that the Heiniu Village is indeed the best village in the world.

However, he was still a little confused.

No matter how powerful the leader of the Black Bull Village is, who is ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking, how could he possibly defeat a strong man in the Fate Palace Realm?
In Jiangzhou, there is the old lady, a powerful person in the Fate Palace Realm, in charge. Wanzhou is located in the border area, but the imperial court did not send a strong person in the Fate Palace Realm to wipe out the Black Bull Village?

He suppressed this doubt in his heart and praised, "With your knowledge, it's a bit of a waste of your talent to be a small guard in the Qiu family."

"You are too kind, sir. I also heard these words from others. I am just repeating what others have said."

"you are too humble."

As Gu Mingchuan was speaking, he suddenly raised his eyebrows. Trouble was really coming.

He said nothing.

Normally speaking, with Zhang Mingde's level of cultivation, it is impossible to detect the enemy at such a long distance.

After a while, someone finally sounded the alarm, "There's -- ah --"

This scream made the people in the camp realize that the enemy was coming.

"There are enemies, Miss, retreat quickly."

Before he could finish his words, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... several figures rushed towards the guards. For a moment, screams were heard one after another.

An arrogant voice sounded, "Miss Qiu, my master has admired you for a long time, but you are so ignorant that you humiliate my master in public. Today I will let you know the consequences of offending my Fu family! Everyone listen, whoever captures Qiu Yuqian alive will be rewarded handsomely by my master."

Those people roared and rushed towards the Qiu family’s camp.

……

This bloody scene made Gu Mingchuan's eyelids twitch.

This frontier area is indeed very different from the inland. In Jiangzhou, even if there is a blood feud, it is rare for people to kill people on sight like this.

When he eliminated the Zhang family of Minglong City, he only killed the Zhang family members and did not kill the guards, servants, and people who worked for the Zhang family.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone discovered him and Lu You and rushed over with a grin.

Gu Mingchuan drew his sword and killed the man casually, then said to Lu You, "I will go after Miss Qiu, you should be careful."

"it is good."

At this time, Miss Qiu had been pulled by the woman at the third level of the Divine Hidden Realm beside her and was fleeing towards the mountains in a panic.

"Chase, don't let her run away."

"Miss Qiu, you can't run away."

Behind him, several masters of the Fu family were chasing closely.

Before Gu Mingchuan left, he casually broke off a branch, stimulated his true energy, and threw it out like a fairy scattering flowers.

More than a dozen people from the Fu family present were all pierced through the heart and died on the spot.

When Lu You saw this scene, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

Although he knew that the boss had sent a master to protect Qiu Yuqian, he did not expect that the master's strength would be so terrifying.

At least it is above the sixth level of the Divine Treasure.

……

Gu Mingchuan used his body skills to follow silently behind the masters of the Fu family. Just as he was about to take action to deal with them, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

This is--

He felt a familiar scent.

Why is she here?
