Destiny is ashes

Chapter 440: Battle of Mingguang Peak (33)

The old man had a red face, white hair, frosty eyebrows, snowy hair, a tall body and a majestic appearance. He stood up and took the initiative to greet An Jing, which made An Jing feel a wave of pressure.

In ancient times, the more powerful those who practiced Qigong and cultivated immortality were, the more mysterious and tranquil their aura became, and they were in harmony with the heaven and earth. It is like the sky is vast, but people can live in it without realizing it.

But warriors are different. They move like dragons, live like mountains, their anger shakes the earth, their sorrow tilts the sky, their life is the will of heaven, their death is the abyss. These are like individuals walking in a small world. Unless they deliberately suppress and hide, their "momentum" will naturally affect wherever they go.

Just like now, An Jing saw that the tea in the teacup that Gu Yunzhi put down quickly condensed into ice, shattered into dust, and turned into countless ice and snow dust. Then, it condensed into a frost snake as if it had life, coiled in the cup, and lay dormant quietly.

——The 'vision' at the peak of Shenzang.

An Jing narrowed his eyes, and at this moment, the dragon scale center condensed by [Control Five Weapons True Thunder] on the back of his right hand trembled slightly. This was originally a spiritual node that An Jing imitated Jin Yanhua, but now it can produce some induction to the existence related to "dragon".

Gu Yunzhi's cultivation method, or bloodline, is related to dragon blood - and the only one who is related to the vast sea and dragon blood is the 'Hanhai Chaowu Zhenchi'!

And judging from the fact that Zhen Chi was forced away and Gu Yunzhi searched Xuanming Manor and the surrounding cities in the name of looking for his granddaughter Gu Yeqi, You Ruhui might have been forced out of the Hanhai by Gu Yunzhi.

No...if you must say so...

"It's an escort."

An Jing suddenly realized, and said with certainty in his heart: "So that's how it is. It was this old fellow who escorted You Ruhui to the Northern Frontier, and it was also him who entrusted Master with this."

An Jing's mind raced. He already understood why Gu Yunzhi said this to him so openly, but he still pretended to be confused, showing just the right amount of confusion: "What princess? And General Gu, if I knew you were coming, I would definitely make a big fuss and host a banquet for you!"

"Haha, that's not necessary, City Lord An. If you are omnipotent as my granddaughter said, you must have seen through a lot of things a long time ago."

Gu Yunzhi flicked his sleeves, and a hazy cold mist enveloped the two of them, blocking all communications: "I will tell you the truth. I was King Jing's confidant in the past. When the little princess was one month old, I was lucky enough to hold her in my arms. If there weren't so many enemies in the northern border, and all my children were killed due to various accidents, I would not have sent the princess to the northwest."

"In order to keep my identity secret, I am still the envoy on the surface, but in fact, I am one of the 'Nine-Headed Heart Snakes'. My real body is still in the Hanhai Camp, confronting the Taiming Sect. We are in the same camp, so I won't talk in secret with you."

——How many people hugged You Ruhui back then?
An Jing complained in his heart, but he thought that this number must be quite large, and they were all the confidants of King Jing back then. Gu Yunzhi must be a trustworthy person in this regard, but An Jing still didn't want to say it directly: "Since you don't speak in a roundabout way, what is the old general's intention? I really don't know about the matter of the princess."

Gu Yunzhi carefully studied An Jing's expression, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It seems that Brother Ming did complete my commission... You scared me."

Seeing Gu Yunzhi's actions, An Jing also realized that the other party had misunderstood the truth of the battle around Kanming City.

This is poor information.

Gu Yunzhi did not know the details and reasons for Ming Guangchen's battle in the northwest mountains, nor did he know Jinyuantian. Naturally, he thought that the party fighting with Ming Guangchen was an enemy who wanted to kidnap the little princess - but in fact, the other party came from Jinyuantian, and their target was Ming Guangchen himself.

The two sides probably didn't communicate much for the sake of confidentiality. Gu Yunzhi must have been worried recently, fearing that the little princess and Ming Guangchen had fallen into another world together.

As for why he was so sure that An Jing was related to You Ruhui, it was because An Jing was a disciple of Ming Guangchen - and he was recruited in Kanming City. So An Jing and the princess definitely had a connection, just to some extent.

Judging from An Jing's performance, the little princess and Ming Guangchen are both fine.

After confirming this, Gu Yunzhi's expression became much more relaxed. He looked at An Jing as if he was looking at his own extremely outstanding junior: "I have sent Ye Qi to the Mingjing Sect, and the Mingjing Sect has already opened the ninth peak [Mingguang Peak] for your master." "The Mingjing Sect has nine immortal masters in the world at the same time. It is truly an epoch-making heyday among the five sects in the world. You must know that the Taiming Sect, at its peak, had only one Lingxiao, two Chunyangs, and eight immortals. Although the Mingjing Sect cannot match it in terms of foundation, it has caught up in terms of the middle level."

"but……"

Gu Yunzhi paused for a moment, then slowly said, "Although Brother Ming's existence opened up the Ninth Peak, this Mingguang Peak is only a name. There is no real Manifesting Saint in charge. Even if the status treatment is given, there are still many people in the sect who are dissatisfied."

"As the true descendant of the God's destiny, you have received many preferential treatments. Now the Mingjing Sect has built a temple for you at the foot of the peak and moved the earth veins... This conflict of interests is terrible, especially since there is no one on the entire Mingguang Peak, and all the earth vein resources are wasted."

"It's fine now, but if you don't return to the sect soon, I'm afraid there will be some problems."

"Is that so?" An Jing raised his eyebrows. This was not beyond his expectations - Ming Guangchen had broken through to the level of a saint, so the Mingjing Sect would naturally have feedback, and he, as a divine being, would definitely receive corresponding treatment. The supplies sent today were the evidence.

But the teacher is not in Huaixu after all. Although he has the title but no real suppression from the Holy Manifestation, the newly born Mingguang Peak occupies the same resources as other Holy Manifestations, which seems a bit excessive.

"My granddaughter."

At this point, Gu Yunzhi put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look in the direction of the Mingjing Sect: "She volunteered to bring your fellow disciples and the children of disaster who were willing to follow her to join our sect. She said that she would go through the Mingjing Sect's process and become an inner disciple of Mingguang Peak, join His Highness Mingguang, and once again become your strength."

"I won't interfere with her behavior. I'm just a little curious, what will you do? Will your master who sits on Xiaoming Peak help you?"

Gu Yunzhi's information was very useful. An Jing quickly understood the problems that needed to be solved within the Mingjing Sect: the newly born Mingguang, the resources of the Manifestation Saint level, the fact that he, the true disciple, was not around yet, and the empty mountain in the sect caused controversy. However, due to the rules, his own master Chen Yinzi could not interfere with other sects openly...

If Chen Yinzi's spiritual clone was not in his body, Gu Yunzhi's statement would indeed be correct.

【What nonsense is this little thing talking about! 】

As expected, in An Jing's mind, he heard the voice of his ancestor Chen Yinzi blowing his beard and glaring: [What do you mean by sitting upright? It makes me sound like I don't want to help. I've had several quarrels with the old guys from other peaks! ]

[An Jing, don't worry. I have seen your team members for a long time. They have performed very well. They should all be promoted to the inner sect in the end-of-year examination. As for Mingguang Peak, my disciple's things belong to my disciple. Although he is not here, he has worked diligently for the sect for many years. Even if he can't use them now, he will definitely not lose a single cent! ]

An Jing could actually understand it. The Mingjing Sect only had so many resources. Suddenly there was an extra peak and the resources were wasting time. The peak master and the true disciples in the temple were not here either. It was a waste no matter how you looked at it. It was natural for everyone to want to cut down on their benefits.

But Chen Yinzi was particularly protective of his shortcomings and would not give in no matter what. Not only did he not talk about the quarrel in the mountains, he also separated a trace of his spiritual power to come and teach him by correspondence.

With such a master who is not fussy about details and cares about the younger generation, An Jing can feel much more at ease.

【but……】

At this point, Chen Yinzi was a little hesitant, and after thinking for a while, he said frankly: [Ancestor Chengguang has also set the tone - if you return to the sect in three years, you will be able to catch up with the Mingjing Sect's once-in-a-decade True Transmission Competition and the subsequent Five Sects Martial Arts Competition.]

[If you can defeat all opponents, you will naturally be able to secure a peak of resources, and no one will question it! ]
