Chapter 117: The Hidden Treasure of Wisdom
Gu Mingchuan controlled the Shenxiao Sword, flying faster and faster. After a quarter of an hour, he had flown hundreds of miles away, far away from the battlefield of Heiniuzhai.

It seemed that he was about to shake off the tail behind him.

Suddenly, the light of the Shenxiao Sword dimmed, and his speed immediately slowed down by 20%.

No matter how much energy he poured into it, it showed no reaction.

It seems that they have made up their minds to go on strike.

"I'll melt you as soon as possible."

Gu Mingchuan cursed inwardly. Due to this delay, the woman behind him got closer.

Without the help of the Shenxiao Sword, his speed was not as fast as hers.

It won't be long before you are caught up.

In that case, he simply stopped running, turned around to face the woman behind him, and asked loudly, "Why are you chasing me so closely, girl?"

At this moment, he also saw the woman's appearance clearly, and his eyes lit up.

Her white clothes are as white as snow, and she is stunningly beautiful. In terms of appearance, she is no less beautiful than Chu Zhi.

He immediately guessed who this person was: Shangguan Yu, the chief sister of the Tiandao League and one of the four great geniuses. It was said that she hated evil, was upright and kind.

Shangguan Yu stopped when he was 20 meters away from him, staring at the Shenxiao Sword in his hand, and asked solemnly, "Where did you get the sword in your hand?"

Gu Mingchuan said, "It is said that Miss Shangguan is an upright person who shoulders the moral responsibility. How come you also want to covet my sword?"

As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and the Shenxiao Sword in his hand suddenly disappeared.

Shangguan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he said in shock, "You actually refined the Divine Sky Sword?"

Gu Mingchuan said with some disdain, "It took the initiative to recognize me as its master. It's like a piece of candy that I can't get rid of. It doesn't obey at all and it fails at the critical moment."

Shangguan Yu seemed to want to say something, but held back. After a while, he said, "This Shenxiao Sword has a lot to do with my sect..."

Gu Mingchuan interrupted her sarcastically, "So, you still want to rob?"

Shangguan Yu said sternly, "The divine sword has a spirit. Since it has chosen its master, I will not snatch it away. However, everyone knows that the Divine Heaven Sword Technique is the secret of our Tiandao League. If the Divine Heaven Sword is in your hands, others will think you are a member of our Tiandao League. Your every move is related to the reputation of our Tiandao League..."

Seeing that she had said a lot, Gu Mingchuan interrupted her impatiently, "So what?"

Shangguan Yu was not angry and continued, "So, I want to accept you as a disciple on behalf of my master and accept you into the Tiandao League..."

"I refuse. I already have a master, and it's impossible for me to join another sect."

What a joke, anyone wants to be his master?
Even if he is the leader of the Tiandao League, he is at most at the Fate Palace Realm. He will be able to surpass that level in one or two years at most.

Gu Mingchuan didn't want to find another master for himself.

Shangguan Yu's expression became serious. "Since you don't want to join our Tiandao League, as the senior sister of the Tiandao League, I will never allow you to ruin the reputation of our Tiandao League..."

"Humph, you still want to rob me. Stop talking nonsense and do it."

Gu Mingchuan was anxious to find Ruan Qingqing. He didn't want to listen to her nonsense here. They had to fight in the end anyway.

He also wanted to see the value of the top four on the Grandmaster List.

"You misunderstood. Since the Divine Sword has chosen you as its master, no one can snatch it away. I have decided to follow you from now on. If you make any mistakes, I will correct you and will never let you ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

"..."

Gu Mingchuan was stunned for a moment, looking at her serious face, it didn't seem like she was joking.

……

A few hours later.

At Orchid Grass Villa, the young gatekeeper who was in charge of guarding the gate yawned, and suddenly his vision blurred, and two people appeared in front of him.

He was so frightened that he thought he was attacked. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he said in surprise, "Master, you are back."

When this young man was carried back by the eldest lady's personal maid that day, both of his legs were missing. After a few days, his legs grew back.

This matter was too bizarre, so he was naturally deeply impressed by this young man.

When he saw the girl following the young man, he was stunned for a moment. He was so stunned that he thought he saw a fairy.

The person who came was Gu Mingchuan. He asked, "I want to ask you something."

The concierge seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and he looked away, not daring to look again, "What do you want to ask, sir?"

"Has a woman come to see me these days? She's about sixteen or seventeen years old, very beautiful, like a fairy."

The doorman subconsciously looked at the woman in white and wanted to say, isn't the fairy behind you?
Gu Mingchuan said, "She is almost as pretty as her."

"Sir, no outsiders have come here in the past few days."

Gu Mingchuan frowned, but still not giving up, he went back to the villa and asked a few other people, and got the same answer.

Are you running into any trouble?
Hu Xuelin clearly said that she met Ruan Qingqing in Wanzhou City, and then she got the news and went to Lancao Villa.

According to the time, Ruan Qingqing should have arrived at the villa a long time ago.

Gu Mingchuan immediately left Lancao Villa and flew towards Wanzhou City.

At this time, it was almost dark.

Shangguan Yu followed him silently without saying a word or interfering with him, just following him.

……

When they arrived at Wanzhou City, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

The city gate is closed.

Gu Mingchuan was about to enter the city when Shangguan Yu behind him finally spoke up, "I advise you not to fly in."

"why?"

Shangguan Yu said, "This is a border, different from the inland areas. If you fly in directly like this, the officers guarding the city will think it is an invasion by foreign enemies and will lead to a siege."

Gu Mingchuan thought about it and it made sense. In name, the Great Wei Dynasty and the Western Zhu Kingdom were still in a state of war.

Wanzhou City borders the Western Zhu Kingdom. A hundred years ago, the two countries had been at war, with Wanzhou being the front line. It can be said that the two sides have been enemies for generations.

Even though the two sides have now ceased fighting, small-scale frictions continue.

He was a man who listened to advice, so he asked, "Miss Shangguan, how can we get into the city?"

"Go to the city gate and identify yourself. As long as there is no problem, you will be let through."

As they were talking, they saw two figures flying from the city gate and heading towards them.

Both of them were wearing armor. In Gu Mingchuan's eyes, they were both very powerful, at least at the seventh level of the Divine Hidden Realm.

It is unimaginable in Jiangzhou that a person of this level of cultivation would have to guard the city gate at night.

The seventh level of the Divine Treasure can support a century-old family. From this point, it can be seen that the atmosphere between Wanzhou City and Xizhu Kingdom is very tense.

Of course, it is also possible that it is related to Heiniuzhai.

The two masters in the officialdom wanted to come over to interrogate her, but when they saw Shangguan Yu, their attitudes suddenly changed, and they said enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Fairy Shangguan!"

Shangguan Yu had a cold expression and just nodded slightly as a response.

Gu Mingchuan said, "My two brothers, we want to go into the city. Is it convenient?"

"Convenient, convenient."

As the two men spoke, their eyes kept looking at him, trying to guess his relationship with Shangguan Yu.

In the middle of the night, a man and a woman were alone. The man said "we". Shangguan Yu did not express his opinion, as if he was the main person...

The two of them have automatically imagined a romantic love story in their minds.

I never expected that Fairy Shangguan, who was so proud and cold, would finally be tempted by human desires.

What they are more curious about is who this man is.
The two asked, "What is this brother's name?"

"My name is Abin."

"It turned out to be Brother Abin."

"I want to ask the two elder brothers something."

"Whatever, just say it."

"Has a woman inquired about me during this time?"

“I’ve never heard of this.”

……

After entering the city gate, Gu Mingchuan finally realized the benefits of being born into a big sect.

Shangguan Yu just stood there arrogantly, not even glancing at the two military masters, who still had to be polite to him.

He turned to her and said, "Those two people just now probably misunderstood our relationship."

Shangguan Yu asked, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Seeing that her eyes were clear but with a hint of doubt, as if she really didn't understand, Gu Mingchuan took back his words.

How did the Tiandao League teach? They made everyone stupid.

It feels like she is not cold and arrogant, but she really doesn't understand the ways of the world.

In other words, the brain circuits are different from those of ordinary people.

No wonder she would do something like following him around all the time.

If it were a normal person, he would definitely try to snatch the Shenxiao Sword directly. If he couldn't win, he would ask for help.

In the end, she said she would stay by his side to prevent him from doing anything that would damage the reputation of the Tiandao League.

Originally, Gu Mingchuan thought she had some conspiracy.

Looking back now, it was simply a lack of brains.

He has already met two of the four great geniuses, and they both seem a bit abnormal. One is too cunning, and the other is too cunning. It would be better if they could balance each other out.

Gu Mingchuan found an inn to stay in and asked for two rooms.

Silent all night.

After dawn, as soon as Gu Mingchuan walked out of the room, Shangguan Yu followed him out. It was obvious that she had made up her mind to stay with him all the time.

He went downstairs to the lobby to order some food, and seeing Shangguan Yu sitting there motionless, he asked, "Why aren't you eating?"

"I have been fasting for a long time."

"Then you're missing out on a great joy in life."

Gu Mingchuan shook his head. What’s the point of living if you can’t enjoy delicious food?
While eating, he listened to the conversations of the people around him.

After the meal, he had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

If you want to get information, the best way is to find the local boss.

Gu Mingchuan went out and went straight to a gang called the Green Snake Gang. After showing off a few of his skills, the other party was completely subdued.

Soon, he found out about Ruan Qingqing.

It is impossible for these gangs not to notice a beauty like Ruan Qingqing appearing in Wanzhou City.

"One of my men saw the girl being taken away by an old woman. The old woman was very vicious. My brother was blinded after just one look."

After that, the old woman and Ruan Qingqing disappeared.

Gu Mingchuan asked them to find the subordinate and questioned him personally. Finally, he asked, "Do you know where that old woman came from?"

"She's also an outsider. I've never seen her before. Judging from her accent, she seems to be from the capital of the gods."

God's capital?

Gu Mingchuan frowned. It was the capital of gods again.

With his current strength, he is not qualified to venture into the dangerous and dangerous place like the Capital of Gods.

At this time, the subordinate added, "By the way, the old woman called the girl Miss and was quite respectful to her."

When Gu Mingchuan left, he left a silver note.

If you ask someone to do something, you should always give them some benefits. It is shameful to do it for free.

……

After Gu Mingchuan returned to the inn, he took out the Bodhi seed.

After all, strength is the foundation.

Let’s break through first.

After going to the Lingshan Secret Realm and being "wake-up call" from the Buddha statue, his progress in the fifth level of "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art" has been fully completed and he can upgrade directly.

He placed the Bodhi seed between his eyebrows and felt a coolness there. The bead slowly merged into his eyebrows.

The next moment, there was a loud bang in his brain, and his thoughts continued to extend out to infinity, as if connected to some extremely mysterious sea of ​​consciousness.

Countless streams of information flooded into his mind, drowning his consciousness.

He kept his original intention and maintained a bit of his true spirit. Under the constant flushing of the stream of consciousness, that bit of true spirit was undergoing an astonishing transformation.
