Chapter 144 Falling into Demonic Way
"What are the conditions?"

Gu Mingchuan had already experienced Chu Zhi's methods and was too lazy to guess what her real purpose was, so he asked directly.

Chu Zhi picked up the wine in front of him, took a sip, and said, "Help me rescue Shangguan Yu."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Mingchuan didn't expect that she would put forward such a condition.

Chu Zhi said with some sadness, "Everyone in the world puts me on the same level as her. Over the years, I have always regarded her as an imaginary enemy and have been fighting with her for several years. Although I don't like her, I can't bear to see her end up like this."

I believe you.

If it weren't for you, how could Shangguan Yu end up like this?

Gu Mingchuan said expressionlessly, "You must be kidding me. She is imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison. If I go to save her, how is that different from committing suicide?"

"Shangguan Yu is not an ordinary person. You may not know this since you have just arrived in the capital. Among her admirers, there are many princes and nobles. One of them is the son of the prime minister of the current dynasty."

"So what? Does he dare to be partial to me?"

Gu Mingchuan said disdainfully.

Now everyone knows that the young emperor and the prime minister had a fierce fight.

Prime Minister Lin Chen, known as a treacherous prime minister by the world, was just a small clerk in the Dali Temple more than a decade ago, and he didn't even have the title of Jinshi. It was the Queen Mother who promoted him, and in just a few years, he rose like a rocket and became the prime minister of the dynasty.

People call him the loyal dog of the evil queen and a chess piece for the evil queen to control the court.

Now, Lin Chen has been the prime minister for eight years, and his influence spreads throughout the court. Although the queen mother has retreated behind the scenes, as long as he is still in the position of prime minister, the young emperor will be restricted in every way.

Of course, with the young emperor in power, Lin Chen could not be as unscrupulous as before. If he was caught, it would be very disadvantageous to him.

Gu Mingchuan didn't believe that Lin Chen's son would collude with outsiders to break into the prison. Once this matter was exposed, the consequences would be disastrous.

Chu Zhi smiled slightly, "Lin Ke naturally doesn't dare to release the person directly, but with his power, it is easy to arrange a better cell. Besides, Shangguan Yu is now a disabled person, and the Queen Mother has said that she was specially arranged to be imprisoned in the cell for the wives of imprisoned officials."

When Gu Mingchuan heard this, he suddenly understood something.

She had already arranged everything, she just needed someone to take the blame.

He said, "Tell me, what are your plans?"

Chu Zhi said, "I received intelligence that in two days, someone will come to the prison of the Demon Suppression Division to rob the prison. By then, most people will be attracted there. This is the best opportunity to save people."

Gu Mingchuan looked at her with some suspicion, "You can get this kind of information?"

"Whether it is true or not, you will know in two days. As long as you rescue the people, I will tell you the whereabouts of the golden Buddha."

After Chu Zhi finished speaking, he stood up and left

……

Gu Mingchuan returned to the Jiao family and discussed the matter with Yu Huaiyi.

Now, Yu Huaiyi can be said to be the person he trusts the most. Ever since the "demon seed" was planted in her, their fates have been linked together.

If he died, she would not be able to live.

How can such a relationship not be strong?

Yu Huaiyi is definitely the person in the world who is most worried about his life or death.

After the discussion, Yu Huaiyi gave a suggestion, "Just wait and see. If there is a chance, save people. If there is no chance, don't take the risk."

This suggestion was exactly what Gu Mingchuan wanted.

I waited like this for two days.

Outside the Demon Suppression Prison, several miles away, Gu Mingchuan and Yu Huaiyi covered their faces and waited quietly.

The "Sutra on the Self-Realization of Others" is best at hiding and disguising. Unless there is a powerful person with the ability to sense the world, it is difficult to be discovered.

No powerful Dharma master would use the Heavenly Heart Sensing all the time. Firstly, they don't have the energy for it, and secondly, such behavior is also very dangerous.

If you accidentally see something unclean or peek at some powerful being, the consequences will be dire.

It was not until the third watch that a loud "boom" was heard from the Demon Suppression Prison.

Gu Mingchuan and Yu Huaiyi looked at each other and said, "It's really here!"

The two did not move and waited for a moment, then they felt several powerful auras rushing towards the Demon Suppression Prison.

He said, "Let's go."

The place specially used to detain officials' families was some distance away from the Demon Suppression Prison.

When Gu Mingchuan and the other person went in, they found that the defense inside was poor, and there was not even a powerful magician.

When they found Shangguan Yu, no one even noticed.

It went so smoothly that it was unbelievable.

Shangguan Yu was locked up alone in a room that was fully equipped, like an ordinary woman's boudoir. She was not even shackled.

When Gu Mingchuan pushed open the door, he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, hugging her knees with empty eyes, like a body without a soul.

She didn't suffer any physical injuries, but she was devastated mentally.

Not only did she lose all her cultivation, she became a useless person and was abandoned by the sect. Even her most respected master did not believe her and personally sent her to the prison of the Demon Suppression Division.

No matter how strong a person is, he or she cannot withstand such a blow.

Gu Mingchuan walked over and shouted, "Shangguan Yu." Shangguan Yu subconsciously looked up at him.

"Do you want to make a comeback and bring disgrace upon those who caused you to be expelled from the sect, so that they will receive the punishment they deserve?"

"Do you want to clear your name and let your master and everyone in the Tiandao League know that they have wronged you?"

Gu Mingchuan's two consecutive questions brought a gleam of light to Shangguan Yu's eyes. She shook the hand he extended without hesitation.

She responded with action.

……

The rescue process was unexpectedly smooth, and there were no setbacks along the way.

After returning to the Jiao family, Gu Mingchuan looked at Shangguan Yu with a different look in his eyes. "Her luck is really strong. She is definitely one of the protagonists of this era."

In the past, no matter what he did, he would always encounter various accidents. It was rare for him to be so smooth.

There is only one explanation, Shangguan Yu's luck is very strong, which allowed them to avoid those bad luck.

This made him even more certain that even if he didn't take action, she would most likely be fine.

Shangguan Yu had regained his fighting spirit at this time and said, "You saved me again."

Although Gu Mingchuan's appearance had changed and he was wearing a mask, she still recognized him.

He took off his mask and said seriously, "I have a way to restore your cultivation, but the price is that you will truly fall into the path of evil and become a mortal enemy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. Moreover, from now on, your life and death will be determined by my thoughts. Are you willing?"

Shangguan Yu looked at him, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes, and said calmly, "I do."

"You won't think about it again?"

"Do I have any choice?" Shangguan Yu closed his eyes and said, "Come on."

Gu Mingchuan raised his hand, and a black vortex condensed in his palm, which was a demon seed.

A strange smile appeared on Yu Huaiyi's face at the side. He didn't expect that the chief disciple of Tiandao League would also become a member of Xuanming Sect.

What, she said she wasn't? Who would believe that? With all the magic skills of the Xuanming Sect, anyone would think she was a member of the Xuanming Sect. No matter how much she denied it, it was useless.

Gu Mingchuan injected the demon seed into Shangguan Yu's body, and it quickly took root in her dried-up qi sea, waiting to sprout.

……

In fact, Gu Mingchuan had long wanted to plant the demon seed in Shangguan Yu's body. Anyway, she had become a disabled person, so it would be a waste not to plant the demon seed.

However, he also knew that there was no way she would agree.

This time, she suffered such a great injustice, was abandoned by the sect, and betrayed by her most respected master, and her faith collapsed.

It feels like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Gu Mingchuan didn't feel any guilt in his heart, he was helping her to get a new life.

She should thank him.

……

The next day, an explosive piece of news came out that a strong man from the Xuanming Sect broke into the Demon Suppression Division and rescued Shangguan Yu.

When Gu Mingchuan heard the news from Jiao Xu, he was stunned.

That's not right. Last night, something happened in the Demon Suppression Prison, and he took the opportunity to rescue Shangguan Yu.

Yu Huaiyi said, "It seems that the movement in the Demon Suppression Prison last night involved some secrets. It couldn't be made public, so they pushed everything onto Shangguan Yu to cover it up."

Gu Mingchuan nodded, agreeing with it.

……

In the afternoon, someone delivered a letter, which was delivered to Gu Mingchuan by Jiao Xu's servant. There was a name written on it, Jiao Fei.

This is his current alias.

Gu Mingchuan opened the envelope and saw beautiful handwriting on it, "Brother is indeed a trustworthy person. The thing is in the hands of the abbot of Laojun Temple outside the city."

No signature.

"Laojun Temple?"

He turned the letter in his hand into powder, but he was a little confused. He had never heard of this name, so he went to find Yu Huaiyi and asked her, "Have you heard of Laojun Temple?"

When Yu Huaiyi heard the name, his expression suddenly became serious, "Who told you that?"

Gu Mingchuan asked curiously, "Why, is there something wrong with this place?"

Yu Huaiyi said solemnly, "That place is very strange, it's best not to go there."

Gu Mingchuan asked curiously, "How is it so strange?"

Yu Huaiyi's face was filled with memories, and he said, "A few years ago, I went to this Laojun Temple once, but after I left, I found that the memory was gone, and I couldn't remember why I went to Laojun Temple. Moreover, I felt like I lost something very important."

Gu Mingchuan felt that her story was indeed a bit strange and asked, "What was your cultivation level at that time?"

"I just broke through to the Dharma Image Realm not long ago."

Gu Mingchuan's expression also became serious. This Laojun Temple was indeed not simple, as it could cause a powerful person in the Dharma Image Realm to lose his memory.

Yu Huaiyi said, "Afterwards, I investigated this Laojun Temple, but I didn't find anything. It's just an ordinary Taoist temple with a short history. It was built about two hundred years ago. Usually, few people go there to burn incense. It is said that there are only five Taoists in the temple, and they never leave the temple."
