Chapter 490-2: I want to see what you are worth now, Is your heart made of iron and stone? (2)
“I know, I was thinking too much.” The brilliance in An Yan’s eyes dimmed.
If Gu Changge was willing, it would only take one sentence, and perhaps the Hidden An Clan would hand over Niu Tian. Gu Changge didn’t need to intervene in the grievances between her and her sister An Xi.
“Actually, if you want me to help you, it’s very simple. But you need to prove to me that you are worthy of my help.”
And just when An Yan was feeling bitter, Gu Changge’s words sounded again, causing her to be taken aback for a moment, and when she raised her head, her silver eyes revealed a deep surprise.
“Worthy?” An Yan’s voice trembled slightly, she took a deep breath, calmed down, and said,
“I know that I may be no different from a useless person to Young Master Changge now, but if I can control the Hidden An Clan, everyone in the Hidden An Clan will be willing to follow the order of Young Master Changge. An Yan is willing to be a slave and a handmaiden, waiting around.”
However, upon hearing this, Gu Changge frowned shook his head, and said, “You seem to have misunderstood the worth I am talking about.”
What he asked An Yan to prove was her current value, not her future value. An Yan also reacted quickly, knowing that what she said was tantamount to an empty promise, and it was of no use.
What Gu Changge wanted to see was what she could do now. So she thought about it, gritted her teeth, and said, “Actually, what I said to Young Master Changge before was not what I heard, but what the spy I planted beside my sister told me.”
“I also know that she will go to the Ancestral land to get the blood from there and help that strange man cultivate.”
The blood that An Yan mentioned was not simply the blood of the An Clan.
It was one of the three drops of true blood from the Ancestor with the blood of the Hidden Immortal bloodline in ancient times. It was extremely precious and contained true fragments of immortality.
Even the Supreme realm cultivator would not dare to refine it lightly and would be in danger of shattering his Soul Palace at every turn. Her sister planned to create another Hidden Immortal and could be said to have spent a lot.
Speaking of this, An Yan calmed down, stared at Gu Changge closely, and said, “I will find a way to get that drop of Ancestor’s true blood for Young Master Changge.”
“The blood of the Hidden Immortal? It’s okay. I didn’t expect that there would be three drops of true blood in your family.”
Hearing these words, Gu Changge gave her a deep look, then smiled and said, “But one drop is not enough, I want three drops of your Ancestor’s true blood.”
Gu Changge was worrying about the lack of cultivation resources now. If the three drops of True Ancestor’s blood contained fragments of Immortality, it would help him break through the threshold of Enlightenment.
An Yan naturally agreed to this request without a doubt. Three drops of true Ancestor blood were very precious to their clan. Even with her sister’s current power, it took a lot of effort to convince a group of clan Elders to go to the Ancestral land to get it.
However, it was not that she hadn’t made arrangements in recent years. Since Gu Changge wanted her to show her value, An Yan had to s.n.a.t.c.h this drop of her Ancestor’s true blood even at the risk of being exposed after all these years of disguise.
Afterward, An Yan left the palace. Compared with before, she now had an inexplicable self-confidence. This confidence came from the fact that she seized the opportunity that was presented to her.
As long as she could get Gu Changge’s help, her current unfavorable situation would be reversed in an instant. All these years of being cautious, pretending to be dormant, would all disappear in smoke.
The huge Hidden An Clan would also fall into her hands.
“I hope you can give me a surprise, the unformed Daughter of Luck…”
In the palace, Gu Changge had a faint smile on his face and only looked away after watching An Yan leave. Even if An Yan didn’t talk about Niu Tian’s matter, he would take care of it.
In addition, he had been stocking Jiang Chen, the Son of Luck, for a long time. After the matter of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions was resolved, it was time to see how this leek was going.
As for Xiao Ruoyin, the reincarnation of the High Priest of Destiny who came from the Lower Realm together with Jiang Chen, Niu Tian, and others. There was no sign of memory recovery.
Gu Changge ordered Yan Ji to keep an eye on Xiao Ruoyin’s changes, and after a while, Yan Ji would report Xiao Ruoyin’s changes. This made Gu Changge a little suspicious, whether Xiao Ruoyin was injured too much back then, causing problems with his soul.
Otherwise, as the High Priest of Destiny, controlling the Immortal Boat, reversing the long river of time, and being untainted by cause and effect, how could she not wake up his memory for a long time?
Or was it just merging, or hiding, so that Yan Ji didn’t find out? Gu Changge thought about it and planned to investigate this matter after returning to the Upper Realm.
“In a few months, the Upper Realm army will invade Heavenly Lu City. Aren’t you going to do something?”
Then, Gu Changge looked at a certain void behind him and said with a faint smile. The figure of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu manifested from it. She was dressed in a flawless white dress, with a slender and graceful figure, soft blue silk hair, and a cold and holy face.
“What else can I do now? I just hope that when Heavenly Lu City is destroyed, Mr. Gu can show mercy and avoid unnecessary slaughter.”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s expression was calm, and her eyes were very peaceful as she said. She chose to be used by Gu Changge, which was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, and she had already figured it out before that.
Therefore, if Gu Changge didn’t care about Heavenly Lu City and her request, then she couldn’t help it. This in itself was a gamble.
During this time, she had been doing her best to let Gu Changge understand her sincerity.
She partic.i.p.ated in the destruction of the Nine Great Mountains and the Heavenly Boundary Abyss’s defeat of the armies of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, and she played a very important role. However, she was not very clear about what Gu Changge was thinking.
So she could only bet that Gu Changge would be moved by her in the end.
“Actually, the method is very simple. You just need to show up and let Heavenly Lu City surrender. Presumably, in your capacity, it can still play a big role. Don’t you want fewer casualties in Heavenly Lu City, this is more useful than any other method.”
Gu Changge gently stroked her cheek with a faint smile on her face.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu held his hand, her eyes fell on his face, and she said softly, “Master Gu, you know that Heavenly Lu City is not the only place in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions. If I show up, I’m afraid it will only cause them more trouble. With so much anger and hatred, I’m afraid this battle will never end.”
Now Gu Changge no longer restricted her personal freedom. If she wanted to, she could actually take the opportunity to return to Heavenly Lu City. But Heavenly Maiden Tianlu didn’t do much.
Because if she did so, all the efforts she had put in before would only go to waste, and she would be powerless to recover. The Upper Realm was really too strong, in this battle, the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions had no chance.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu knew that Gu Changge knew this too, so she was not worried about her escaping.
“That’s a pity. I can tell the people behind me to try to keep more people alive. But people of other ethnic groups and forces may not listen to me. It’s really helpless.”
Gu Changge sighed with some regret, his tone sounded regretful. But Heavenly Maiden Tianlu understood what Gu Changge meant, and her expression suddenly became a little complicated.
With Gu Changge’s current power, as long as he gave an order, he could definitely command all the troops in the Upper Realm. How could there be other ethnic groups who won’t listen to him?
When he said that, he obviously wanted to force her a little more.
“Master Gu, is your heart made of iron and stone?”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu lowered her eyes, but her voice seemed unusually calm at this moment. She originally thought that during this period of time, the relationship between her and Gu Changge would become closer, and the two of them were close to becoming a husband and wife.
As a result, he was still so indifferent and ruthless and hadn’t changed in any way from the beginning.
“How can you say that?” Gu Changge smiled, without any change in his complexion, gently hugged her into his arms, and said, “I’m just thinking about your future unless you really want to live in the dark all the time.”
“You will be exposed to the world sooner or later. What kind of ident.i.ty will you be at that time?”
After all, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu was the patron saint of Heavenly Lu City, her status was transcendent and n.o.ble, and she was revered by hundreds of millions of people. If she showed up before he broke through Heavenly Lu City, no matter what, it would be a huge blow to the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions.
Moreover, the core of the formation responsible for the enchantment of Heavenly Lu City was closely related to her. Gu Changge did give Lin Wu half a year, but it was obviously not very possible to break through the barrier outside Heavenly Lu City during the first siege.
In this way, it was equivalent to sending a signal to everyone in Heavenly Lu City. Even Heavenly Maiden Tianlu had surrendered to the Upper Realm, not to mention other ancient existences. There was never a shortage of people who were greedy for life and afraid of death in this world, let alone people who were full of suspicions.
“I see.” Heavenly Maiden Tianlu lowered her eyes, the light in her eyes was like a lake without waves, leaning against Gu Changge’s arms, she did not agree with his words.
She understood that Gu Changge had other plans. But at this time, she had no choice but to compromise. In the next few days, a major event happened that shocked many forces in the Upper Realm.
The minds of all the ancient beings went blank with a bang and they all froze in place, unable to react at all. The patron saint of Heavenly Lu City from the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu had now appeared beside Gu Changge!
The news swept through like a hurricane, shocking everyone. The sensation caused was no different from a meteorite smashing into the deep sea.
One must know that before this, only members of the Ancient Immortal Gu Family knew about this matter, but it was only limited to high-level people.
Today, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu showed up in public and accompanied Gu Changge, which really shocked all the cultivators, whether they were younger generations or ancient existences, and they felt shocked and unbelievable.
With the kind of status Heavenly Maiden Tianlu had in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, it was not an exaggeration to describe it as transcendent reverence and indescribable dignity.
Moreover, she was the patron saint of Heavenly Lu City.
In the previous era, in front of Heavenly Lu City, she fought against the Upper Realm and killed an Enlightened being of the Ancient Royal family. And her strength could be described as terrifying.
How could she appear beside Gu Changge?
What did that mean?
