Chapter 96: Covenant "This chess game has completely come alive!!"...
The morning light breaks through, and birds sing.
Gu Congxing slowly opened his eyes, and before his mind was clear, he felt a kiss on his lips.
"You woke up, from the stars."
Lan Jue lay on his side beside him, propping up his head and looking at him with a smile.
"Good morning."
"Big, big brother!" Gu Congxing had never woken up to find someone lying next to him in all these years. He immediately woke up and sat up abruptly.
"Hiss..." Why, why does my waist hurt so much! ?
He lifted the quilt and looked down, and saw that his body was covered with traces of marks, kiss marks and tooth marks, which were more eye-catching on his fair skin.
Gu Congxing's face suddenly turned red.
"It's okay, Congxing, I've already cleaned you." Lan Jue came around again, sniffing the Yue Lin fragrance on his body, and leaned his head on his shoulder.
As soon as he got closer, his eyes fell on those marks.
The corners of his lips lifted silently, but when he saw Gu Congxing's embarrassed expression, his eyes shifted and his words were filled with self-blame: "Sorry, Congxing, I didn't know how to control myself..."
Gu Congxing covered his head and said, "You, don't do this again."
"Well, of course." Lan Jue's eyes brightened and he leaned over to kiss his lips again.
He has been thinking about it for so long that he really doesn't want to let it go.
When I take Congxing to clean, I can't help but get those things out of him, which naturally involves some skin-to-skin contact, so...
After finally finishing the cleaning, he looked at his sleeping face, with curled eyelashes and rosy complexion, and he couldn't help but kiss him again and again.
Gu Congxing looked at the gloom in Lan Jue's eyes that gradually gathered again, and was startled. He immediately pushed him away and stood up.
He summoned a magic pill and drank it in one gulp, causing the marks to gradually disappear.
Lan Jue didn't hide the disappointment on his face and said regretfully, "Actually, I can help you apply the ointment, it will be more effective."
This guy! If he continues to apply the ointment to me, I'm afraid I'll commit adultery in broad daylight!
Gu Congxing glanced at Lan Jue, feeling both angry and amused: "Big Brother, I thought you were a gentleman who was polite and abstinent."
Lan Jue smiled shyly when he heard that.
Seeing him like this, Gu Congxing suddenly remembered the time when he had argued with her and said something like "I am not a saint, I also have emotions and desires"...
Could it be that he had been thinking this way since then? !
Gu Congxing was secretly surprised, but the communication token on Lan Jue's side suddenly lit up.
He summoned him out, and then he heard Yuan Chi's voice: "Hey, my master has come out of retreat, how are you guys doing?"
Lan Jue and Gu Congxing exchanged a glance and replied, "We have already discovered the source of the abnormal spiritual power movement and are about to return to the Yuan family."
"Oh, I'm glad you're not dead." Yuan Chi said this and ended the call simply.
The charming atmosphere in the air was pierced by this communication. Gu Congxing took the opportunity to push open the window and immediately asked, "After we return, do we really need to tell them about Master?"
"That depends on whether the Medical Saint is willing to form an alliance with us."
Lan Jue had also changed his clothes and straightened his hat at this time. He sat down at the bamboo table, summoned Tianchi Yulu tea leaves from his magic ring, and also summoned a set of purple clay tea sets, and began to brew tea leisurely.
The air was filled with mist and the fragrance of tea. Gu Congxing sat opposite him, took the teacup and sipped it carefully.
It is not sweet at first, but rather has a bitter taste. However, after swallowing, it has a sweet aftertaste, and is fragrant and lingering on the lips and teeth.
"Good tea." Gu Congxing exclaimed.
Lan Jue also took a sip of tea and placed a chess set on the table.
“As long as you are willing to wait, even if you feel it is bitter at first, there will be a time when happiness will come after suffering.”
Slender fingers fiddled with the chess pieces, and a three-way confrontation had emerged on the table, with two parties restraining each other and one party watching from the sidelines.
Gu Congxing looked at the three or two chess pieces standing side by side, and he knew in his heart that this was exactly the current situation in Hexu Continent.
Lan Jue pointed at the largest chess piece and asked, "Cong Xing, do you know why the Tianqi Sect has surpassed the Qingxuan Sword Sect and become the top immortal sect?"
Gu Congxing pondered and said, "Is it because Master failed to transcend the tribulation, and the Apocalypse Sect's Mahayana ancestor came out of seclusion?"
"That's right." Lan Jue supported his chin and looked at Gu Congxing, "And, what a coincidence, this ancestor came out of seclusion seven years ago."
Gu Congxing frowned slightly: "Is it after Xuanyuan Chu was led by me to self-destruct?"
"good."
Lan Jue picked up another black chess piece. "Not only that, but Xuanyuan Chu's disciple Xie Qingnian also disappeared. But not long after, the Ji family of Mingnan Province suddenly announced that they would join the Tianqi Sect and become its loyal supporters... The timing is really coincidental."
Xie Qingnian...it was she who brought herself and my junior brother to Xuanyuan Chu.
In this way, Xuanyuan Chu's cultivation level is exactly the Mahayana stage!
Gu Congxing suddenly realized: "So, Xuanyuan Chu is not dead, but has restored his true ancestor body! Xie Qingnian, as his disciple, was originally from the Ji family!"
Lan Jue nodded in appreciation.
"Cong Xing, do you still remember what Xuanyuan Chu intended to do at that time?"
"He wanted to collect the blood of the descendants of the divine beast, so he set his sights on Si Junjian and junior brother..." Gu Congxing thought.
Lan Jue said, "Not only that, I'm afraid I was also one of his targets. If I hadn't met Yao Qi and reminisced with them, I would have been led away by the people from Tianqi Sect."
Gu Congxing's expression darkened. "If that's the case, we must not let him succeed this time. We must fight back."
But when facing the Apocalypse Sect and the Ji family, is our current strength sufficient?
Seeing Gu Congxing's solemn expression, Lan Jue raised his lips and smiled.
"From the stars, the Tianqi Sect's own strength is not as strong as the Qingxuan Sword Sect. It's just that because the people of the 'Nine Rings' are still there, they still have the moral advantage and are always throwing dirty water on us, causing the neutral sects to hesitate."
The Apocalypse Sect claimed that Gu Congxing died because of a demon and intended to kill the demon, but they were unable to do so due to resistance from Lan Jue.
"However, what they never expected was that you would come back."
Gu Congxing was shocked and looked up at Lan Jue.
The morning breeze blew past, his hair moved slightly, and his eyes were bright and compelling.
"Now that you've reappeared, the truth of what happened back then will naturally come to light. It's the Apocalypse Sect that's harboring the real culprit! If they lose their moral high ground, the Nine Rings will naturally leave, and the neutral sects will no longer have to worry—"
Swish——
The chess piece was overturned, and Gu Congxing's heart was surging when he saw Lan Jue crush the chess piece of the Apocalypse Sect into pieces!
"This chess game has completely come alive!!"
***
Visit Beizhou and Qian'e Ridge.
"Hey, you're back?" Yuan Chi, who was standing next to the main peak's medicinal garden, saw Gu Congxing and Lan Jue returning and raised his arm to greet them.
At this time, Gu Congxing still had the disguise he had when he left, and Yuanshi was completely unaware of any changes.
Yuan Che also stood up from the cluster of spiritual plants and asked calmly, "Have you two found out the source of the unusual movements in the Crazy Mountain Snowfield?"
Lan Jue and Gu Congxing exchanged a glance, then raised their lips and said, "We've already found out. However, before we answer, we'd like to meet with Senior Medical Saint first—"
"oh?"
A majestic female voice suddenly appeared behind the crowd. They turned around and saw a cold and outstanding figure falling gracefully from the sky.
The Medical Saint Yuan Ling's beautiful eyes turned slightly and looked at Lan Jue.
"You guys, you want to find me?"
"That's right." Lan Jue saluted her with a fist and nodded calmly.
The Medical Saint glanced at him and Gu Congxing, then looked away with a feeling of boredom.
"I know what you want to say. Isn't it just about forming an alliance with you?" She turned around meaninglessly. "No matter what your plan is, the Yuan family has never liked to get involved in the disputes of immortal sects. If I had this time, I would rather study more terminal illnesses-"
"Then, Senior, are you interested in someone who has come back from the dead?"
Gu Congxing, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Surrounded by golden light, the young man grinned, revealing his hidden youthful spirit.
His expression suddenly changed, and when he looked up again, it had completely returned to its original appearance!
The scene fell into dead silence, and after a moment there was a loud cry of surprise!
"Gu Congxing?!"
"How is that possible?!"
Yuan Chi was so shocked that his jaw dropped. Yuan Che also opened his eyes wide in shock, and the spiritual herb in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
Medical Saint Yuan Ling raised her eyebrows in surprise. She stared at Gu Congxing silently for a while, then suddenly curved her lips into a smile.
"Interesting! Really interesting!"
Her eyes sparkled with excitement, and she kept saying, "Come on, come on! Let me have a good talk with you—!"
A moment later, in Danyantai Medical Pavilion.
Gu Congxing and Lan Jue sat across from the Medical Saint. She stared straight at Gu Congxing and asked straight to the point, "Little Taoist friend, how did you come back to life?"
Gu Congxing curved his lips and said, "Senior, my disciple's resurrection from the dead was not accidental, but was due to the good fortune of others."
He spoke casually, and even though Lan Jue raised an eyebrow and looked at him with interest, his expression did not change.
The Medical Saint frowned and asked, "Others?"
"That's right." Gu Congxing's mind flashed back to the scene where he used a sword to pierce himself and Xuanyuan Chuyi and then exploded. The cold light in his eyes moved, "That person was a great master in the Mahayana stage. Now he has been resurrected, and his cultivation has even improved compared to before."
"Who are you talking about?"
"It is the little-known elder of the Apocalypse Sect in the past, and the ancestor of the Apocalypse Sect whose cultivation level is now at the peak of Hexu—Xuanyuan Chu!"
Yuan Ling's expression suddenly changed. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Congxing.
"Boy, I remember that you dragged Xuanyuan Chu into self-destruction seven years ago. As you said, the ancestor of the Tianqi Sect at that time was the resurrected Xuanyuan Chu?"
Gu Congxing nodded resolutely, his face looking sincere.
Yuan Ling looked suspicious, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. "The deep hatred between you is obvious. I have been in seclusion for several years and have never seen that ancestor. How can I know the truth of what you said?"
Lan Jue spoke at the perfect moment: "Although I have never met Elder Xuanyuan Chu, I did meet him a year ago."
He took out a photo stone from his spiritual ring, and his spiritual power moved slightly.
"I happened to be arguing with him at the time. Just to be on the safe side, I secretly recorded it using the photo stone. From what you saw, is it the same person?"
Spiritual energy floated in the air, and the blurry picture gradually became clear—
Gu Congxing stared at the scene and swallowed silently.
He knew he was gambling.
The bet was that Xuanyuan Chu, whose cultivation was unmatched, had not lost his arrogance.
He has been able to maintain this appearance for thousands of years without changing, and he is so happy to see his prey in pain and despair - would such a person bother to pretend?
A figure emerged in the picture. The person was wearing long flowing clothes and had raven hair like a waterfall. He approached with a calmness that looked down on everything.
With a handsome face and a sweet smile, who else could it be but Xuanyuan Chu?!
This face is clearly still the same as before!
Yuan Ling stared at the person in the painting with his eyes wide open!
Gu Congxing breathed a sigh of relief silently.
"This, it's actually true..." Yuan Ling's eyes didn't blink, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. "Although the temperament and demeanor are completely different, they are indeed the same person."
She placed one hand on her lips and whispered, "How did he do it..."
Lan Jue and Gu Congxing exchanged a silent glance before slowly speaking, "I don't know why he possesses such extraordinary abilities, able to reverse life and death... However, I suspect the evil deeds he committed may be related to this."
Yuan Ling's attention was drawn to him, and he looked up at Lan Jue.
His voice was clear and soothing, compelling those who heard it to listen intently. "Senior, you may not know this, but the reason Congxing dragged him to self-destruct was because Xuanyuan Chu was the true culprit behind the annihilation of the Kong clan, the demonic unrest, and the disappearance of his disciples! He slaughtered countless cultivators, and his plans were undoubtedly against the will of Heaven!"
"So, when Sima Huai suddenly committed suicide in Tianqi Sect seven years ago, didn't you have any doubts?"
Seeing Yuan Ling's grim expression, Lan Jue continued, "Sima Huai was this man's subordinate. He was abandoned after his exploits were over. However, Cong Xing discovered the real culprit and forced him into a desperate situation. He also obfuscated the truth and even framed others..."
"Senior, now that Cong Xing has been resurrected after him, the truth has finally been revealed!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Ling turned the whisk in his hand, frowned and fell into a long silence.
Gu Congxing looked at Lan Jue's sincere words and couldn't help but admire him secretly.
He was able to so naturally follow up on his half-truths, and even expose Xuanyuan Chu's evil intentions, and even lead the Medical Sage to connect his actions with his resurrection...
Senior Brother, you are truly an amazing eloquent person.
"despair."
Yuan Ling placed the whisk on the table, stood up and said, "What you said is too shocking. I still need to verify it."
Lan Jue also stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Of course. If there's anything you need from me, Senior, please let me know."
Yuan Ling looked him over, frowned, and snorted coldly, "I've never liked foxes like you. You always have evil intentions. But..."
She turned and walked out, her gauze dress fluttering gently.
"If that thousand-year-old monster really has ulterior motives, I'm afraid the entire cultivation world will be in tatters. I won't let this happen."
After she finished speaking, her figure disappeared from their sight.
Gu Congxing and Lan Jue looked at each other, and then they returned to Kefeng.
Gu Congxing was pondering what the Medical Sage had said when he suddenly heard Lan Jue say, "Congxing said that he was resurrected thanks to Xuanyuan Chu's opportunity. He's really smart. I admire him."
"Perhaps he has inherited your true teachings." He folded his arms and chuckled a few times, then said seriously, "In your opinion, will the Medical Saint really agree?"
Lan Jue looked at the green waves rolling in the wind in front of him, with a bright smile on his face.
"She will."
As he said, only two days later, the Medical Saint met with them again and agreed to form an alliance.
As an exchange of information, Lan Jue and Gu Congxing also told him that the source of the unusual movement in Kuangshan was their master's business.
"So, you are going to find those two ancient treasures now?" Yuan Ling said.
"Yes." Gu Congxing nodded, "But I don't know its exact location, so it's difficult to find it."
Yuan Ling stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then summoned two ancient books.
She quickly flipped through the registers. "I don't know about the Primordial Mysterious Crystal, but the Qingyang Pure Spirit Amber should be in Youbeizhou... Oh, I got it!"
She opened the book and pushed it in front of them, pointing to a wetland.
"It should be deep in the Fushen Forest—the Qiangui Divine Swamp."
Lan Jue and Gu Congxing both looked intently, and saw that the place was clearly the edge of Youbeizhou, on the verge of the devil's realm.
“Swish——”
A strong wind blew, the pages of the book turned rapidly, and the black ink danced as if it had come to life.
Gu Congxing looked at the scene in front of him, and for some reason he suddenly felt a chill.
He suddenly remembered the pitch-black snake Lingyao had mentioned before... and a nightmare that always haunted him.
Although he had never seen it before, he could still picture the snake in his mind.
The pitch-black scales reflected a cold light, and the brutal and fierce light in the golden vertical pupils flickered with its movements.
It had been staring at him motionlessly, waiting for some flaw.
At that time, it would fly up, its thick and long body would tighten in circles, making it impossible for me to move at all, and its sharp fangs would suddenly pierce my blood vessels -
It was completely devoured by it.
