Chapter 120 Conspiracy
Orchid Villa.

In a small courtyard, Chu Zhi sat in front of the dressing table, turned her head to look at the bright moon outside the window, her long hair hanging down like a black waterfall.

Qingxia, who was serving beside her, said softly, "Miss, it's time to go to bed."

Chu Zhi seemed not to have heard her words, and said to herself, "Based on their speed, they should have rescued Chu Li."

"With Chu Li's hot temper, as long as he recognizes Shangguan Yu as a disciple of the Heavenly Dao League, he will definitely tell her about that matter..."

"I really want to see what kind of expression Shangguan Yu, this pretentious woman, will have when she finds out. It must be quite interesting."

Qingxia at the side couldn't help but say, "Miss, this matter has nothing to do with the Ye family. Even if the Tiandao League knew about it, it couldn't be held responsible by the Ye family. Why did you go to so much trouble to do this?"

Chu Zhi seemed to feel a little cold, wrapped her cloak tighter, and asked instead of answering, "Do you know the history of the Ye family?"

"Seven thousand years ago, the Ye family followed the footsteps of the Immortal Emperor Changsheng and began to rise. Later, during the Immortal Dynasty of Changsheng, it became one of the nine pillars. Later, when the Immortal Dynasty of Changsheng collapsed, the Ye family became one of the nine major clans. Until now, thousands of years have passed, and the Ye family has remained standing and is still ranked among the seven major clans."

"Such a powerful family cannot be destroyed by a single person or a single force. Even the royal family cannot do that."

"There is only one way to destroy the Ye family, and that is to drag it into an unprecedented huge vortex, just like the Gu family and the Dou family back then."

Qingxia shuddered when she heard her calm words.

I couldn't help but feel a little scared. This young lady wanted to drag down the entire Wei Dynasty and bury the Ye family along with it.

……

On the other side, there was also moonlight.

Gu Mingchuan took out a piece of smoked meat from his pocket and prepared to listen to the story. Then, he noticed Shangguan Yu's gaze and handed the meat to him, "Would you like one?"

Shangguan Yu shook his head and looked away expressionlessly.

Gu Mingchuan asked Chu Li again, "What about you?"

Chu Li shook his head and began to tell the story.

"It was about seventeen years ago, that summer, my second brother Xu Changlin became very abnormal. One night, he talked to the four of us separately. It felt like he was leaving his last words."

"Later, my eldest brother felt something was wrong, so he took us to look for him, but he had already quietly left by himself. The four of us knew something must have happened, so we split up and chased him. It took a lot of effort to catch up with him."

"After we repeatedly questioned him, he finally revealed the truth. He wanted to kill a great enemy, but that enemy was too powerful and he was not sure at all. That's why he didn't want to drag us down. He went to take revenge alone."

At this point, Chu Li gritted his teeth and said, "We realized afterwards that this bastard was just putting on a show to lure us into this. We only regret that we were blinded by his tricks and were deceived by him."

From his tone, one could hear his hatred for Xu Changlin.

Seeing that he had gone off topic, Gu Mingchuan reminded him, "And then?"

"Then, of course, we wouldn't let him die alone. We all swore an oath, not to live together, but to die together. At that time, he didn't say who his enemy was, but only said that there were at least three Dharma Image Realm masters around his enemy. Our reaction at that time was the same as yours. Let alone three, even one Dharma Image Realm master would be a match for the five of us. We would just be sending ourselves to die in vain."

"Then, Xu Changlin talked about a plan. He said that he knew the whereabouts of a Red Dust Immortal and could use the power of that Red Dust Immortal to deal with those powerful people in the Dharma Image Realm and kill the enemy."

When Gu Mingchuan heard this, he even stopped chewing the dried meat. He turned his head and looked at Shangguan Yu, and saw the realization and shock in her eyes.

The Red Dust Immortal possessed a power that was close to the rules. If one could utilize the Red Dust Immortal's rules, it would be possible to kill several powerful Dharma Image masters without any intention.

Chu Li said, "Xu Changlin called that mortal immortal Buddha, and a pure land will automatically form around him. Anyone who is in the pure land will lose all their skills and turn back into a mortal. Only those who carry the glass relics of Buddhism can be an exception..."

I rub!

Gu Mingchuan felt a little numb when he heard this. Isn't this the special area that was shrouded around Heiniu Mountain before?

He suddenly understood why the imperial court had to go to such great lengths to send so many experts to wipe out the Black Bull Village.

I'm afraid Shi Asan had something to do with the death of Emperor Jianyuan.

However, he did not see any existence that looked like Buddha in Heiniu Mountain or Lingshan Secret Realm.

Afterwards, the secret realm of Lingshan collapsed, and the power of the pure land shrouding Heiniu Mountain also disappeared.

Chu Li continued, "The plan went very smoothly. The five of us, with the help of the Buddha's power and the cultivation of the Shenzang Realm, killed three Dharma Image Realm masters and the emperor on the spot. This is enough to go down in history."

"Later, it was the brave and careful Third Brother who discovered the clues and asked Xu Changlin who he had killed today. The bastard still refused to say, but since he didn't say it, can't we guess it?"

At this point, Chu Li laughed bitterly, "It's a pity that the four of us, who were all so arrogant, were fooled by a thief. We just left there, and the next day, we were knocked out by a mysterious master and imprisoned."

After listening to this, Gu Mingchuan raised a question, "Then Xu Changlin, why didn't you kill you to silence your witnesses? Instead, why did you keep you locked up like this?"

This is unreasonable.

Chu Li sneered and said, "The five of us swore an oath of blood. If he kills us, he will never be able to enter the Palace of Life."

Is there such a taboo?

Gu Mingchuan thought about it and felt lucky that he was not the kind of person who liked to swear randomly. So far, he had only sworn two oaths.

The first is to protect the Gu family.

One is to go to the Jiangzhou Demon Suppression Prison to rescue the mysterious strong man when you reach the Lonely Sea Realm.

……

Chu Li turned to look at Shangguan Yu and said, "That bastard Xu Changlin would definitely not dare to use his original name. However, with the power of the Tiandao League, it shouldn't be difficult to find out his current identity."

Shangguan Yu's eyes became much colder, and he said, "I will report this matter to Master and get to the bottom of it."

After she finished speaking, she turned and looked at Gu Mingchuan.

Gu Mingchuan immediately understood what she meant and said, "You can go ahead. I won't get involved in this matter." Shangguan Yu said, "This matter is of great importance. You can't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, I won't say a word."

"Also, in the future, if you dare to use the banner of the Heavenly Dao League and do something that damages the reputation of the Heavenly Dao League, I will not let you off easily."

After saying that, he flew away with Chu Li and disappeared.

Gu Mingchuan rolled his eyes and said, “Next time we meet, it remains to be seen whether you can beat me.”

He did not stay here for long and left in the opposite direction.

……

Gu Mingchuan did not return to Orchid Villa.

He came to his senses a little bit. Chu Zhi's real purpose in this matter was to let Shangguan Yu meet Chu Li and then learn this huge secret from him.

He is just a tool.

Given Shangguan Yu's character, he would never sit idly by.

He didn't quite understand what her purpose was in doing this.

Forget it, never mind her. Anyway, they don’t owe each other anything now.

As for Shangguan Yu, Gu Mingchuan felt that this matter was not that simple. Qi Wu had been rescued a few months ago.

It's impossible that Xu Changlin didn't have any defenses -

Well, let’s leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Gu Mingchuan headed east, preparing to return to Jiangzhou.

It has been a month or two since he came out. He has gone from the ninth level of divine power to the ninth level of divine treasure. He has gained a lot, and it is time to go home and take a look.

With his current strength, even if he meets Long Shengzhi, it won't be a big problem. After all, Long Shengzhi was seriously injured last time and he should not have recovered yet.

As for Ruan Qingqing, I should wait until I reach the Dharma Image Realm before looking for her. Going now would be no different from delivering food.

Without sufficient strength, let alone bringing her back, it would be good enough if I didn't get stuck in it.

……

After dawn, Gu Mingchuan had already left Wanzhou, so he slowed down a bit. Feeling a little hungry, he wanted to find a city to eat something.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he glanced and found a familiar breath about ten miles away.

It's him?

Gu Mingchuan couldn't help but be happy. He didn't expect to meet him here after several months.

It's fate, I guess.

But judging from his appearance, he is in trouble.

……

More than ten miles away.

Pan Shaotang covered the wound on his arm and fled in a panic, cursing, "The Sun family is causing trouble to the area and taking human lives lightly, but you don't care and instead come to hunt me down. I can see that you people in the Demon Suppression Division are in the same boat with these noble families..."

Behind him, three masters from the Demon Suppression Division were chasing him closely. "Pan Shaotang, you killed the entire Sun family. You acted so cruelly. Do you deserve to be called a hero? And you dare to slander our Demon Suppression Division? We will arrest you today."

"The hands of the entire Sun family are stained with blood. They all deserve to die!"

"Whether he should die or not should be decided by the Demon Suppression Division. How can you be allowed to take revenge privately?"

As the two sides were arguing, the three people from the Demon Suppression Division were getting closer and closer, and were about to catch up -

Whoosh.

A figure appeared out of nowhere, blocking the way of the three people from the Demon Suppression Division, and said, "Brother Pan, long time no see."

This person is Gu Mingchuan.

Pan Shaotang is a chivalrous man. The two had some friendship when they were in Minglong City before.

It was Pan Shaotang who told him that there was such a strong man on the ninth floor of Jiangzhou Demon Prison. That’s why Gu Mingchuan had the opportunity to complete the “Red Dust Life Skill”.

To be honest, if it weren't for the extra income from one ambition point, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such an accomplishment in such a short period of time.

Now, it is estimated that he has just broken through to the divine realm.

The cause and effect of this is not small.

Gu Mingchuan would naturally not stand by and watch someone die.

At this time, he had already returned to his original appearance. That day, after being yelled at by Shi Asan, Abin's identity was too eye-catching.

When Pan Shaotang saw that it was him, he said in surprise, "Brother Gu, it's you!"

"Gu Mingchuan!"

The three people from the Demon Suppression Division felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
