Gai Qingcheng naturally understood this reasoning.
After Gu Zhan’s name as the number one Grandmaster in the world spread, many people suspected that he had mastered a new cultivation method, and now held a Court position. With these two factors alone, it might not be enough to protect Red Flower Granny, but this was the only chance for survival.
However,
Gai Qingcheng’s mouth twitched slightly,
I am surprised not by this matter, okay?
I am surprised by Gu Zhan!
What did he just say?
Kill two Land Immortals, come and go?
"Is killing Land Immortals so hasty nowadays?"
Rong Yichu chuckled softly and said, "My Lord... uh, Miss Gu Qi, uh... you’ll get used to it!"
Outside Yiling City, amidst the mountains and wilderness,
two figures were swiftly rushing through. These two figures were incredibly fast, crossing ditches and forests, deep mountains and canyons in just a step. Not to mention the night, even during the day, ordinary people would find it difficult to catch their traces.
Because these two were Land Immortals, none other than Demon Dao Ancestor Red Flower Granny and Sword King City Sect Leader Wei Wuya.
At this moment,
Red Flower Granny leaped off a cliff like a falling meteor, rapidly descending. In mid-air, she saw the distant city dotted with scattered lights.
That was Yiling City, and also her last hope for escape.
She did not know the current situation in Yiling City, but she had very few choices left.
She clutched the wound on her chest tightly; blood was still seeping out as strands of demonic qi fluctuated. That demonic qi was extremely sinister, entangling within her body. Even as a Land Immortal, she couldn’t stop the bleeding, let alone heal the wound.
Moreover, Wei Wuya gave her no chance to heal.
She never imagined that she would be hunted down from the Ten Thousand Mountains by a junior one day, but it truly happened.
Recalling the events of two days ago,
she was full of regret now,
If she had been more vigilant then, she wouldn’t be in such a dire state now.
Two days ago,
Wei Wuya, with a sword, broke into the Moon Worship Sect’s main altar,
Red Flower Granny, aware of the fear youth, did not underestimate Wei Wuya. Instead, she mobilized the Moon Worship Sect followers to activate the Mountain Protection Array to ambush Wei Wuya, with the intention of at least depleting his strength.
Red Flower Granny then presumed that with the home advantage, she could easily manipulate a junior who had just entered the Grotto Heaven.
However, just when Red Flower Granny thought Wei Wuya’s Spiritual Qi was exhausted and personally made a move, who would have thought Wei Wuya didn’t rely on Spiritual Qi, and upon seeing Red Flower Granny intervene, instantly erupted and pulled her into the Grand Array. If Red Flower Granny hadn’t been cautious, that sword could have taken her life.
Red Flower Granny was also decisive,
realizing Wei Wuya’s trap, she immediately escaped without any hesitation.
However, the Grotto Heaven Realm has many limitations, and upon further confrontation, Spiritual Qi would only deplete without replenishment. Therefore, Red Flower Granny knew she couldn’t run far, and with Wei Wuya closely pursuing her, even without considering the Spiritual Qi issue, dragging a severely injured body wouldn’t allow her to run far.
Thus, she placed her last hope in Yiling City.
Although she had not appeared in the Martial World for long, she knew the current situation in Yunxi Land and knew what kind of person Gu Zhan, who was in the limelight, was.
But up until now,
she actually didn’t have much confidence,
because she knew if Wei Wuya dared to come to the Ten Thousand Mountains to kill her, it meant that Elder Celestial Master might also come down the mountain to find Gu Zhan.
After all, Gu Zhan lacked depth and couldn’t possibly have the means like Array techniques to deal with a Land Immortal, so the possibility of Gu Zhan defeating the Elder Celestial Master was very low.
Yet, she still held onto a glimmer of hope,
hoping that Gu Zhan truly mastered a new cultivation method and had really broken through the Martial Arts limit, entering an unknown, entirely new Martial Arts realm, causing the Elder Celestial Master to meet his end?
With this hope in mind, she desperately ran towards Yiling City, and now, the Spiritual Qi stored within her body was almost exhausted.
But at this moment,
Wei Wuya was still pursuing closely behind,
yet it seemed like Wei Wuya was mocking Red Flower Granny, as he kept a constant distance, right behind her.
Red Flower Granny had always been suspicious.
Dragging a severely wounded body, exposed and not hidden, she managed to escape from the Ten Thousand Mountains to Yiling City, which was clearly the intention of Wei Wuya.
In fact,
Wei Wuya indeed did it deliberately,
Not to mock Red Flower Granny, but because of Gu Zhan.
Initially, he was indeed chasing Red Flower Granny with all his might, but later, after discovering Red Flower Granny’s intentions, he wasn’t in a hurry anymore,
Because Red Flower Granny was heavily injured and her Spiritual Qi was nearly depleted, she was no longer a threat. Only if she was forced to fight while heavily injured could she still cause significant trouble as a Land Immortal under sufficient Spiritual Qi conditions.
Given this situation, Wei Wuya decided to let Red Flower Granny exhaust herself to death. Since he was heading to Yiling City anyway, if Elder Celestial Master had already dealt with the Yiling City issue, then Red Flower Granny would be like walking into a trap. And if Elder Celestial Master hadn’t resolved the situation with Gu Zhan, arriving early would be advantageous!
Two figures moved through the night,
One chasing and one fleeing,
In the blink of an eye, they reached outside Yiling City,
The scene before them was filled with chaos, pits and craters everywhere, and the city walls were shattered, indicating a battle between experts had occurred.
"Has it already ended?"
In an instant,
Wei Wuya and Red Flower Granny both felt a chill in their hearts.
Just as they were speculating about the result, suddenly a terrifying pressure burst from Yiling City like a surging ocean.
Soon after, a figure descended from the sky, standing atop the city gate, with a bright Horizontal Saber planted on the city head.
Upon recognizing the person,
Wei Wuya quickly halted, standing outside the city, his pupils contracted, and he slowly said, "Gu Zhan!"
Hearing this name,
Red Flower Granny felt both shocked and delighted, and a wave of survival joy surged within her, making her spirit extremely excited. She tapped her foot, quickly rushing towards Gu Zhan, shouting, "Gu Zhan, I am Red Flower Granny of the Moon Worship Sect. Let’s join forces to kill this Wei Wuya, and afterward, we can divide and rule Yunxi together!"
Wei Wuya remained unmoving at the bottom of the city wall.
However, on top of the city wall, Gu Zhan moved,
He suddenly leaped forward, his speed tearing through space, appearing directly in front of Red Flower Granny, then in her astonished gaze, he kicked her in the chest.
With a loud "Boom," accompanied by a massive force impact, Red Flower Granny’s chest bones shattered, she spat a mouthful of blood, and her whole body descended from the sky, crashing into the ground, deeply embedded, struggling to get up.
In that instant,
Gu Zhan descended from the sky, "Boom," stepping on Red Flower Granny’s chest, pressing her back into the dirt just as she climbed out.
"Pfft!"
Red Flower Granny spat more blood, looking at the calm-faced Gu Zhan with disbelief, struggling as she said, "You... you... why... Gu Zhan... we have a common... enemy..."
Gu Zhan, with his foot on Red Flower Granny, didn’t even glance at her but instead leveled his gaze forward, examining Wei Wuya.
The rejuvenated Wei Wuya was entirely different from the old white-haired image that Gu Zhan had in his mind. Previously, Wei Wuya seemed like a celestial being, but now he appeared as a villainous young dandy.
Wei Wuya glanced at Red Flower Granny under Gu Zhan’s foot, a trace of disdain on his youthful face, smiling as he said, "Truly lacking self-awareness, what makes you think you have the qualification to divide and rule Yunxi with Gu Zhan?"
Red Flower Granny lay in the mud, staring at Gu Zhan in disbelief,
She couldn’t accept that Gu Zhan’s aggression was just because of a sentence.
At this moment, Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said, "Indeed, no self-awareness at all."
Red Flower Granny felt a great shock in her heart, frantically saying, "Gu Zhan... I..."
Suddenly, the sound abruptly stopped,
Gu Zhan directly crushed Red Flower Granny’s head with his foot, brain and blood splattered.
[Experience Points +1.2 Billion]
Upon hearing the system prompt, Gu Zhan chuckled softly and said, "Sect Leader Wei is such a good person, traveling far to present such a fine gift to me!"
Saying this, Gu Zhan reached out his hand, and the Horizontal Saber from the city wall flew over.
Wei Wuya showed a doubtful expression.
Gu Zhan gripped the Horizontal Saber, slowly saying, "To thank Sect Leader Wei for this generous gift, I shall send you on your way!"
