Rainbow gate, council hall.
The sect leader and many elders gathered together, their faces solemn.
Seven little people were also there, sitting cross-legged on the table in a circle.
"Dong Baimei's words are believable. The Fallen Immortal Society has been plotting to release that person for a long time, and now they are probably going to succeed. We need to discuss how to deal with it."
The elders stroked their beards, racking their brains as they thought.
"No, is Gu Yan really that scary? He's just a demon, and we've dealt with him before, haven't we?"
A young elder, who looked to be in his thirties, asked a question with a puzzled expression.
In his view, it was nothing more than the emergence of a demon, and there was no need to make such a fuss.
No matter who the other party is, we should suppress them with force.
As a major player in Xizhou, does Rainbow Gate lack such courage?
"Little Lu, you're still too young."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Elder Lu's words, the others spoke earnestly.
"You were born too late to know how terrifying that demon was."
During Gu Yan's active era, many so-called prodigies would jump three feet away at the mere mention of his name.
People like Elder Lu, who disregarded the infamous reputation of Gu Yan, quickly disappeared from the Qingyuan Realm.
It wasn't Gu Yan who did it, but some people from the Qingyuan Realm.
The idea is simple: if you don't even have the most basic discernment to tell who you shouldn't mess with, you're too easy to fool, and in the end you'll be eaten alive, leaving not even bones behind.
Even after Gu Yan was sealed away, his lingering influence still deterred many cultivators from touching this forbidden being.
Elder Lu frowned deeply; he still couldn't quite believe it.
In his view, Gu Yan was nothing more than an old person from thousands of years ago. Now that the Rainbow Gate of the Qingyuan Realm was at its peak, why should they be afraid of a demon who had been sealed away for so long?
Elder Lu's attitude was seen by everyone. Some elders were still trying to persuade him, but then they heard a gentle voice, as soft as a breeze.
"Are you... looking for me?"
The voice appeared abruptly, and none of the many experts present noticed its arrival.
On the table, the seven little people exchanged glances, then joined hands. Instantly, a seven-colored light covered the entire hall. Under their gaze, behind Elder Lu, a handsome man with an almost sinister air stood, smiling at them.
The moment they saw each other, everyone's hearts went on high alert.
"Who are you?"
How did you get in?
Elder Lu's voice cracked, and his face was filled with horror.
The person was not far behind him, but he didn't notice them at all. If the other party had bad intentions, they could probably have killed him silently.
This only shows that the opponent's strength is unfathomable and beyond his ability to deal with.
How could Elder Lu not be afraid?
Many people were just as frightened as Elder Lu. Their expressions were unpredictable, and they were unsure how to deal with the newcomers.
The bodies of the several little figures began to merge.
They are the incarnations of the Rainbow Stone. Only by completely fusing together can the Rainbow Stone unleash its true power and punish this intruder.
"Don't be nervous."
Gu Yan smiled.
"I was just passing by when I overheard you talking about me."
Gu Yan stood still without moving forward. His seemingly casual stance was full of flaws, but everyone had a feeling that if he made a move, they would be the ones who got hurt.
His meaning was very clear.
"You are Gu Gu Gu..."
After Elder Lu turned his head, he pointed at Gu Yan and his mouth moved for a long time, but he couldn't utter the complete name.
He had just thought that the devil was no good, but then the devil appeared in front of him and proved that he was very good.
Thinking back to his arrogant words, Elder Lu touched his neck and felt that he was only still alive because the other party had shown mercy.
"It's me."
Gu Yan nodded; he didn't care about these people's fear of him.
"Relax, I mean no harm."
"I smell Mr. Lu's scent on you, and I'd like to ask you for directions."
Gu Yan looked at the seven little figures, especially Xiao Hong.
The red figure exudes the strongest aura of Boss Lu.
"You know Boss Lu?"
Xiao Hong hesitated, her small face wrinkled, unsure whether she should betray Boss Lu's information.
"Yes, I am one of her customers."
Gu Yan, the clone of Tianfo Temple, is also him; he wasn't lying.
The moment the word "diner" was mentioned, trust level soared.
"Did you come to see Boss Lu just to enjoy some good food?"
Xiao Hong is much more relaxed.
After Gu Yan nodded, Xiao Hong stood up.
"I know where Boss Lu is. I'll take you to her, but she hasn't set up her stall yet at this hour."
“It’s alright, I know Mr. Lu’s rules, I can wait.”
Gu Yan, who used to have to queue for milk tea, certainly wouldn't make things difficult for Boss Lu this time.
Xiao Hong simply sat on Gu Yan's shoulders to give him directions.
"Boss Lu is currently in the secret realm, this way..."
The two people, one big and one small, disappeared from the main hall. Elder Lu, who had been taut all along, slumped in his chair, his face ashen.
He wiped his forehead; his hand was covered in cold sweat.
That's terrifying. Even if Gu Yan wasn't deliberately targeting anyone, just standing there, his unfathomable mystery was enough to instill fear.
"Are we just going to let him enter the secret realm like that?"
"Otherwise what?"
"Why don't you go and say no?"
"No, thank you."
It's best not to lay a hand on this kind of person. Right now, they don't seem to have any ill intentions, but if you make a move and anger them, you'll be in trouble.
"By the way, who is Boss Lu? Are there any disciples with that name among those taking the assessment this time?"
After a moment of silence, an elder pondered for a long time but still couldn't recall it.
“I checked the disciple register, and there is no one with that name.”
The elders, having seen their share of storms, quickly calmed down and became curious about this suddenly appearing name.
"Ask me, I know."
Little Red is gone, but the other six little people are still here.
Little Orange put her hands on her hips and hummed softly.
"Oh, my little darling, please tell us about it quickly."
An elder fawned over Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng chuckled mischievously at his eager expression.
"This story begins with a fishing rod. It was a dark and stormy night, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. A small business owner was holding a golden fishing rod..."
Xiaohong had told the story many times, and now Xiaocheng could also tell it vividly.
There was nothing profound about it; everyone could understand it.
but……
"A street vendor who isn't a member of the Rainbow Gate somehow managed to appear in the assessment realm. Why hasn't anyone reported it?"
The elders were completely baffled.
Are their Rainbow Gate vulnerabilities really that big?
The arrival of the traitor Dong Baimei wasn't enough; there was also a major villain and a street vendor.
This makes him feel very insecure.
"Forehead……"
Xiao Cheng stared blankly, unsure how to respond, while Xiao Zi turned her head away, ignoring Xiao Cheng's accusations.
Could he say that he had considered reporting it, but that idea ultimately failed because of that sweet and fragrant thing?
Boss Lu's methods are truly terrifying when you think about them.
