Chapter 483: Evaporating Zixu Lake
"That old fellow Shouzu is truly too timid." Guixiang shook his head. "He's a legend himself, yet he's such a coward... If I hadn't deliberately leaked a trace of my presence for him to detect, he wouldn't have been able to return from the battlefield."
Yu Cang smiled, and the thought flashed through his mind: "As expected."
Although not much is known about the mythical Shouzu, he is mentioned a few times in the literature... The literature naturally does not say that he is afraid of death, but only says that he is good at observing the battlefield situation, making correct judgments based on it, and is very good at preserving the living force.
This is quite euphemistic, but it is not difficult to see what kind of myth Shouzu is.
And his performance was quite consistent with Yu Cang's impression of him...
Of course, Shouzu couldn't be blamed. After all, the battlefield just now was contaminated by the Emperor's Seal and wild beasts, both of which could completely restrain spiritual beasts. Even if it wasn't Shouzu, any other myth would have run away.
But no matter what, Shouzu escaped from the battlefield because he accidentally broke free from the control of the Emperor's Seal, and he had no reason to return to the battlefield again... Since he returned again, there must be something that gave Shouzu the courage.
Shouzu himself is a legend, who else could give him the courage?
Although it seemed that this courage did not last long, he only appeared on the battlefield for less than a second before running away again.
"So... you had anticipated the actions of the Emperor Myth, the Bloodline Empire, and the Desolate Sect long ago?"
"I guessed a little bit." Guixiang sighed. "I have no idea what the Desolate Sect is doing... But Yaoqi lost in the college league, and the Bloodline Empire has lost its energy source. After thinking about it, his next target can only be Tianmen. Chang'an asked me to come here to keep an eye on it, but I didn't expect the Desolate Sect to dare to get involved."
"Is that so?" Yu Cang thought for a moment, then said, "Then... why didn't you take action when Huang's pollution appeared just now?"
As for Jie Ting and Yao Qi, he would rather capture them alive.
However, he was only a level six soul card master after all, and did not have that kind of leeway.
Feng can only strike with one sword, which can kill Jie Ting, but it is definitely impossible to capture him alive.
And if we could capture them alive...
"You're thinking about the Emperor's Seal, right?" Guixiang seemed to have expected Yu Cang to ask this question. "When I saw Yaoqi fighting, I realized that the extent to which he had contaminated the Emperor's Seal was beyond my imagination. In this case... As long as Yaoqi doesn't die, the Emperor's Seal will never be restored, and the same goes for Jie Ting.
"Without them, it will be easier for me to retrieve the Emperor's Seal. Wu Chen has been sent to the Institution. With this only descendant of Chilong and the bloodline portal, it is enough for us to retrieve the Emperor's Seal."
Yu Cang understood: "So that's how it is..."
"I was about to make a move." Guixiang smiled, "But seeing that you had a backup plan, I thought I'd wait a bit, but I didn't expect to see a good show."
A king decides to make his own decision, which is not something you see everywhere.
"You don't need to worry about the pollution problem - I will take action later to separate that entire space from the Heavenly Gate, so there will be no hidden dangers."
Good job.
Yu Cang sighed inwardly.
The way Myth attacks is different. He directly cuts the space as if it were a cake.
"Let's go, we'll go down first." Gui Xiang had a teasing smile on his face. "Your girlfriend just fought brilliantly. She used her Level 6 Drive to summon a high-level instant attack. She was much stronger than Ling E."
“…” Ling E remained silent.
He has been very careful to reduce his presence.
But there is no escape.
He felt a little ashamed, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do.
I really let it down just now...and Gu Jieshuang and Yu Cang's performances were really too strong.
Who could have imagined that he, a legendary guardian of the country who had guarded the Tianmen Secret Realm for so many years, would need two newly promoted level six soul card masters to turn the tide in times of crisis?
It was just bad luck for him to meet these two little monsters.
However, even though he said so, he couldn't help but be moved when he saw how talented these two people were.
With Yu Cang's talent, becoming a god is almost inevitable, but looking at the current situation... maybe Gu Jieshuang can also keep up with Yu Cang's footsteps?
...This is true.
He could assert that a prodigy like Gu Jieshuang would be a trendsetter in any era, but here, he could only be said to be able to keep up with Yu Cang's footsteps.
It’s hard to say whether it’s tragic or lucky for her.
Step, step...
The three of them walked down the stairs.
And Guixiang continued to speak at this time:
"That Chang'an guy was watching the game over there, but he wanted me to guard the Heavenly Gate. Humph... However, although his behavior has always been so abominable, I also gained a lot from this trip."
After a pause, Guixiang continued, "The Desolate Sect was a pleasant surprise. Afterwards, I should be able to follow the clues and find out most of the hidden lines in the imperial capital. This method of summoning the evil god's gaze is also the first time I have seen it. Seeing it here is better than encountering it on the battlefield in the future.
"Secondly, Chang'an's main goal is to discipline the spirit beasts of Tianmen. After such a long period of peace, many spirit beasts have forgotten that they are now dependent on others... With the war approaching, this mentality is unacceptable. Speaking of which, Yaoqi is quite sensible, taking the initiative to help us identify the enemies at this time, saving me a lot of trouble.
“As for the Emperor’s Seal—Wu Chen is in our hands now. Even if Yao Qi doesn’t make a move, I’ll be able to lock onto this artifact sooner or later. But if he comes out to die, it’ll speed up the process.
"After that, let's see what you can do, Yu Cang." Gui Xiang's tone seemed to be tinged with a smile when he said this. "I thought that the college league would reveal your true strength, but I didn't expect that under such circumstances, you could still be so relaxed, as if you weren't under any pressure at all..."
"Don't be offended. Chang'an is just like that. He means no harm."
"I know." Yu Cang also smiled.
"After that, it's time to give Ling E a beating."
Ling E: “…”
In just a few steps, he had been ridiculed several times, both openly and covertly.
Wrong, really wrong.
Only then did he realize that although this incident was quite a big deal, after the battle, everyone seemed to have suffered no losses and were quite happy.
He alone lost an adult.
The only victim is.
However, looking at the posture of returning home, Ling E also realized something in his heart.
Shenhua never needs to explain what it does to others.
Now Yu Cang didn't even ask, but he told his purpose one by one when he returned home... This might be an intentional attempt to cultivate Yu Cang.
It seems that, if nothing unexpected happens... Yu Cang should take over Di Changan's position and become the next president of the Yan Country Soul Card Master Association!
Although he realized this possibility, Ling E was not surprised.
No matter how high the standards he used to evaluate Yu Cang, he had to admit that, apart from being a little immature, Yu Cang was the perfect candidate for this position in every aspect.
Ling E looked at Yu Cang's back.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw... a hint of kingly aura on the young figure's back.
The kingly aura that made him sincerely convinced.
…
When we reached the first floor, Guixiang finally finished speaking.
"...Don't be surprised that Chang'an is thinking about these things all day long." Guixiang yawned.
Yu Cang didn't say anything.
But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel emotional.
As expected, he is Emperor Chang'an.
It can be said that as soon as Yaoqi appeared in the college league, Di Changan immediately noticed everything that happened afterwards.
Although Guixiang said that the Desolate Sect was a pleasant surprise, in fact, it was still within expectations and there were no surprises at all.
The most we can say is that Di Changan is not 100% sure that the Desolate Sect will take action.
So... this fierce, internal and external conspiracy, invasion, and rebellion was actually safe from beginning to end. Those who were injured in the process were the ones who needed to be punished... including Ao Hai, who had his arm broken.
It seemed that he was able to turn the tide, but this tide was being pulled by someone from behind, and the country could have landed easily even without him.
Now, while they were chatting, the entire imperial capital had already started moving. It was estimated that by nightfall, most of the people who needed to be arrested would have been arrested.
Even if the matter was over with such a light understatement, those living in the imperial capital would not realize that a battle of this magnitude had taken place today.
When he arrived on the first floor, Yu Cang's eyes immediately fell on Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er.
At this time, the two girls were lying on a small bed and had fallen asleep.
He had already learned from Ye Lai what they had done, so there was no surprise.
"They just fainted from exhaustion, they're not seriously injured," Ling E said. "But let them get some sleep first. They're a little overwhelmed."
"It's you." Guixiang said immediately, "If you could fight for your dignity, why would you make them so tired? Look how distressed our Yu Cang is."
Ling E: "I..."
OK, OK.
It's all his fault.
but.
"Um..." Ling E whispered, "Haven't you been watching from the dark the whole time..."
To be honest, you are the one who should take the blame because you have not taken any action!
Gui Xiang saw that Ling E actually dared to talk back, and immediately glared at him: "I didn't take action because I wanted to give Yu Cang a chance to be a hero and save the beauty. What about you?"
Ling E: “…”
Forget it, I can’t argue with him.
It's all his fault anyway.
A legendary guardian of the country decided to take all the blame silently.
While the two of them were talking, Yu Cang had already stepped forward and briefly checked the physical condition of Gu Jieshuang and the other person, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed in Ling E's judgment, but for things like this, it was naturally more reassuring to confirm it with his own eyes.
Especially for Qi'er, this was the first time she used her full strength.
Since there is no problem, let's get some sleep first.
Standing up and looking outside the tower, Yu Cang couldn't help but be shocked.
The entire Zixu Lake has disappeared.
Disappearance in the physical sense... The Dragon Breath Sword that came at night completely evaporated the entire lake and collected all the water vapor into the night.
This was because even water vapor could reflect part of the evil god's sight... This was the only possible solution.
Today, the ground is covered with soil that has been burned into a glass-like state by high temperatures, which looks very beautiful.
There was a mess outside the tower, but the Lingxiao Tower itself was not damaged at all.
Part of the reason for this is that the materials used to build the Lingxiao Tower are of very high quality, but the most important reason is.
Ye Lai blocked all attacks coming from behind, without exception.
Just as he said, even if the battle was fierce, no one would wake up Gu Jieshuang and Qi'er who were sleeping soundly.
"When Lingxiao Tower was built in Zixu Lake, it was precisely for the strange phenomena there," Guixiang said, "but I never imagined it would leave such hidden dangers. It's time to find a new location for Tianmen."
Yu Cang didn't respond, his eyes were directed to another place.
A head was placed on the stone steps in front of Lingxiao Tower.
Yes, there was only one head...and the terrifying thing was that this head was still shaking.
Only a head left, but still alive?
Yu Cang blinked.
Only a card banner can do this.
After all... the body of a card banner has some characteristics of a card banner... especially those card banners who have not undergone systematic training.
“I…you…”
Duan Zai's eyes were already distracted. He looked at the figures in Lingxiao Tower, but his vision was blurred and he couldn't see clearly.
Even for him, having existed with just one head for such a long time, he was almost reaching his limit.
He had lost too much blood to see the specific appearance of those figures, but his intuition told him that Yu Cang should be there.
"Yu Cang..."
Duan Zai uttered foolish mumblings.
"It's been so long... I never thought... that one of the chess pieces from back then... would also give me, the mastermind behind all this... "
The sound gradually became lower and disappeared.
Guixiang looked strange.
"Does he want to take the blame?"
Yu Cang: "..."
“Tsk.”
Guixiang shook his head and said, "Yu Cang, if I remember correctly, there is a party tonight that Duan Zhang invited you to. Do you still want to go?"
“…Go ahead.”
Yu Cang probably knew what would happen that night.
Originally, Duan Zhang used this banquet to try to ease the relationship between the Duan family and himself.
So before the banquet, he specially arranged for Yu Cang to enter the Tianmen Secret Realm to fulfill his previous promise.
But now.
Once the Duan Zai incident happened, the Duan family was completely destroyed.
I have to say, it can be seen that Duan Zai really has a sense of belonging to the Duan family. Even though he only has one head left, he still doesn't forget to try to take the blame for the Duan family... It's just a bit stupid.
The show tonight should be exciting, but Yu Cang has lost interest.
He has already fought with Shenhua in Tianmen, will he still remember this jumping clown from the Duan family?
But after all, Ling E had advised him a lot before, so he decided to go and take a look, and reassure others.
Moreover, if possible... he also wanted to see if he could save Duan Feng.
Duan Feng's performance in the college league was also very impressive, but it was a pity that he met himself and Wu Chen.
He is also a very versatile genius, and he has a good relationship with Aqiu. Yu Cang does not want to see Duan Feng implicated by his family.
To Duan Feng, the Duan family is just a burden.
