Chapter 119 The Big Secret

"You'd better not agree to her."

Suddenly, Shangguan Yu, who was standing aside, spoke with a cold expression, "This woman is deep-minded, and her heart is filled with the flame of revenge. No matter how simple the things she asks you to do are, they will eventually drag you into the abyss."

Gu Mingchuan glanced at her with a strange look in his eyes.

You said you guys are not familiar with each other, but you know each other very well.

Chu Zhi sighed, "It seems that Sister Shangguan has some prejudice against me. Did my words just now make her unhappy?"

Gu Mingchuan looked at her sideways. Chu Zhi, who had always been aloof and quiet, actually had such a charming side.

He thought that these two most outstanding and gifted girls in the world were about to fight each other.

Shangguan Yu turned his face away, as if he was too disdainful to say anything more.

The expression seemed to be saying, this is all I have to say, it’s up to you to listen or not.

Gu Mingchuan said, "Miss Chu, what do you want me to do for you? Tell me."

Chu Zhi said, "I have an elder who is imprisoned in a secret place. Due to my status, it is not convenient for me to go and rescue him, so I would like to ask you to rescue him."

"Don't worry, that place is not dangerous for you. The one in charge of guarding it is only a ninth-level Divine Treasure. When the time comes, I will find a way to lead that person away, and you can go in and rescue him."

"Of course, if you feel that something is wrong, you can just leave. I will never blame you."

Before I knew it, she started calling herself "little sister" and the relationship became closer.

Chu Zhi continued, "I happen to have a stone spirit fruit here, I'll use it as a token of gratitude for this matter."

As she spoke, she took out a jade box from the side, placed it on the stone table, and pushed it over.

Stone spirit fruit?
Gu Mingchuan took a look and was immediately attracted.

The Stone Spirit Fruit is the most superior spiritual object to open the Ear's Divine Treasure. This thing is also very precious and not easy to find.

"How embarrassing."

As Gu Mingchuan spoke, he reached out and took the jade box. When he opened it, he saw a fist-sized stone inside that was beating slightly like a living thing.

It is indeed exactly the same as the Stone Spirit Fruit recorded in the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Art".

He closed the lid and said, "Your elder is my elder. Tell me, where is he imprisoned?"

Chu Zhi said, "Not far from here, just—"

At this point, she glanced at Shangguan Yu who was not far away, and changed her voice transmission to say, "A hundred miles away, there is a Tiannv Peak, and on the mountain there is a villa. My elder is imprisoned at the foot of the villa. When the time comes, you will go there with my token, and someone will come to find you. Go to the dungeon. Remember to bring the peerless magic weapon with you."

The more Gu Mingchuan listened, the stranger he found it.

Chu Zhi has already placed people there, and can also lure away the most powerful masters. Anyone can be sent to rescue the people, so why let him go?
Chu Zhi seemed to see through his doubts and said, "To be honest, my elder is imprisoned in a cage made of black iron, and only a peerless divine weapon can cut it open. If you are willing, you can lend me the Divine Sword..."

"Forget it, I'll go by myself."

On Earth, you can’t lend your wife or car to others. Similarly, in this world, you can’t lend your weapons.

He asked, "What is the name of your elder?"

Chu Zhi said, "His name is Chu Li. He was quite famous more than a decade ago. I don't know if you have heard of him. He and his four sworn brothers are collectively known as the Five Heroes of Jiangdong. All five of them are on the Grandmaster List—"

The Five Heroes of Jiangdong?

Gu Mingchuan exclaimed, “Fuck!” and thought to himself, I’m familiar with this.

His cheap master Qi Wu is the youngest of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong. Unexpectedly, the person Chu Zhi wanted to save was the third of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, Chu Li.

Qi Junhao had been looking for the whereabouts of the Jiangdong Five Heroes, but he didn't know that the third brother, Chu Li, was imprisoned in Wanzhou. He had to go to Jiangzhou, thousands of miles away, to rescue Qi Wu.

……

After nightfall, the moon is high in the sky.

Tiannv Peak, Yuhu Villa.

Gu Mingchuan hid in the darkness, looking at the villa not far away, waiting quietly.

Behind him, Shangguan Yu was also standing quietly, but he didn't show any intention of hiding.

He transmitted his voice, "Miss Shangguan, to be honest, Senior Qi Wu, one of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong, has done me a favor. If it were someone else, I could choose not to save him, but Chu Li is Senior Qi Wu's sworn brother, and I cannot just sit back and watch. Even if I didn't have the Stone Spirit Fruit, I would definitely come to save him."

Shangguan Yu did not say anything, but just moved quietly and hid in the darkness.

"Thanks."

Gu Mingchuan looked again at Yuhu Villa not far away. From his perspective, there were only two warriors in the Shenzang realm in this villa, and the rest were not a concern.

Chu Zhi didn't lie, it's not dangerous here.

Even the warrior who had reached the ninth level of divine power, in his eyes, was not as almighty as Wang Yaowu, and posed no threat to him at all.

After waiting for about half an hour, the spiritual light representing the ninth level of the divine treasure really left the villa, went east, and soon disappeared from his sight.

After a while, a black shadow flew over, landed on the ground, and inserted the sword in his hand into the ground.

Gu Mingchuan took out a metal ring and threw it towards the sword, and it just fit inside the sword.

This was exactly how they had agreed to meet.

He walked out of the darkness, and the man bowed to him and said, "Please follow me."

Gu Mingchuan and Shangguan Yu followed this man into the villa.

Along the way, the three of them didn't speak. It was quiet everywhere, with no one around.

Finally, we came to a backyard.

The man transmitted the message, "The dungeon is under this well."

Gu Mingchuan turned his head and looked at Shangguan Yu, "Please stay here, young lady. I will go down alone." Shangguan Yu nodded slightly and agreed.

Compared to this stranger, Gu Mingchuan trusted Shangguan Yu more. He jumped into the well, and when he was about to reach the surface of the water, he saw a mechanism on the wall of the well. He pressed it lightly, and a dark hole appeared on the side.

He looked inside and saw no sign of anyone.

This is not surprising, as his spiritual eyes are not omnipotent. If it is a completely enclosed place or the stone wall is too thick, he will not be able to see through it.

Gu Mingchuan took out the Shenxiao Sword and went into the cave.

Soon, a stone staircase appeared in front of us. We walked down for about four or five hundred meters and finally arrived at a heavy stone door.

At this moment, he could finally "see" the spiritual light coming from behind the stone gate.

The spiritual light was very bright, but very vague.

This means that the people inside have high cultivation levels, but are weak on the inside.

Gu Mingchuan walked forward and pushed the stone door open with force.

"Who?"

A hoarse voice came from inside.

Gu Mingchuan walked in and said, "Come and save your people."

Inside the cave was a stone chamber, about one hundred square meters, with a black cage in the middle and a disheveled man hanging in the air.

Looking at him like this, he seems to be in a more miserable state than Qi Wu back then.

The man laughed wildly, "Haha, save me? Do you know that this cage is made of outer cold iron--"

Gu Mingchuan had already swung the Shenxiao Sword in his hand, and with a few swipes, it cut through several pieces of black iron, leaving a gap.

The man was choked up and asked in surprise, "Peerless divine weapon?"

Then he laughed wildly, "Hahaha——"

The laughter made the entire stone chamber buzz.

Gu Mingchuan swung his sword a few times and cut the chains that bound his hands and feet. Looking at his crazy look, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

It seems that he has been locked up for too long and something is wrong.

He reminded, "We have to get out of here quickly."

This sentence really worked. Chu Li immediately stopped laughing and shouted, "Let's go." Then he flew out first.

……

Gu Mingchuan took Chu Li out of the dungeon, flew out of the well, reunited with Shangguan Yu, and then left Yuhu Villa.

Everything went very smoothly, so smoothly that he could hardly believe it.

In the past, no matter what the matter was, as long as he was involved, all kinds of accidents would occur, and in the end there would always be a fight and the killing of one or two people before it would end.

This is the first time that things have gone so smoothly.

After flying more than ten miles away, Chu Li suddenly stared at Shangguan Yu not far away and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you a disciple of the Tiandao League?"

Shangguan Yu said, "Yes."

Chu Li said, "Very good, it saves me from having to look for you. I know how Emperor Jianyuan died. Do you dare to listen?"

"..."

Gu Mingchuan wanted to run away immediately.

Emperor Jianyuan was the emperor who died more than ten years ago. This was his reign title.

After his death, his temple name was Sejong.

This emperor reigned for less than ten years and died suddenly at the age of thirty, leaving behind a young son. This eventually led to the harem usurping power and causing chaos in the court.

More than ten years have passed, and the power of the Wei Dynasty has been declining.

It can be said that everything was due to the death of Emperor Jianyuan.

As to how he died, there are still many different opinions. The court did not announce the cause of death, only saying that it was a sudden death.

Gu Mingchuan also wondered why the Five Heroes of Jiangdong were locked up and whether they were involved in some conspiracy.

But I didn't expect it to be this kind of conspiracy.

Shangguan Yu suddenly stopped and looked at Chu Li sharply, "You say."

Gu Mingchuan didn't leave in the end. To be honest, he was really curious about this big secret. Now that he was involved, it would be a shame if he didn't listen.

Chu Li said proudly, "The Emperor Jianyuan was killed by my five brothers!"

"impossible!"

Shangguan Yu said decisively, "Emperor Jianyuan died outside the Divine Capital, but he was protected by at least two powerful Dharma-Image Peak warriors. It is impossible for the five of you to get close to him."

Gu Mingchuan also found it unlikely.

The five heroes of Jiangdong were only at the peak of the ninth level of the Shenzang realm at the time. If they could have killed the emperor, the imperial court would have been overthrown long ago.

Not to mention the Grandmaster List, even for the five Heavenly List powerhouses, it would be extremely difficult to kill the emperor.

There is definitely no shortage of strong people in the Fate Palace realm among the royal family.

Besides, Emperor Jianyuan himself is quite powerful.
