Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 590 You Have a Stance

After a moment of silence, Zhu Wuyao finally asked:

"What methods will the Star-Picking Tower use to deal with a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Gu Yiguan avoided answering the question, only saying:

"You are not a direct disciple of my sect. You killed my senior brother and gave my third senior brother to the Juque Sect. You monopolized the Purple Qi, which is already a sign of breaking with the Zhaixing Tower."

"In what capacity should we investigate the Star-Picking Tower sect's secrets?"

That makes absolutely no sense.

Especially the matter of "monopolizing the purple aura".

Even if Zhu Wuyao dared to offer it, Gu Yiguan might not dare to accept it.

However, having lost Song Kezi, Zhu Wuyao was indeed somewhat guilty and speechless.

After a moment of silence in the Enlightenment Hall, Zhu Wuyao suddenly spoke and asked:

"Gu Yiguan, just a moment ago, you seemed to show dissatisfaction with me, as if you were angry with me. Why?"

Gu Yiguan certainly had reason to be angry.

However, it is somewhat unusual for Gu Yiguan to "express dissatisfaction and be unable to control his temper."

"If you had used the same energy you used to figure out my plans as you did to figure out Fu Shan's schemes back then, things wouldn't be like this today."

When faced with someone who has never made a mistake, Zhu Wuyao has nothing to say.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Qi Suowei stands alone atop the mountains.

She looked into the distance and saw something unusual.

For eight hundred years, the demon race has been listening to the wind in Feidu Lake. What Qi Suowei has witnessed is the plight of all living beings. In addition, the last great calamity was related to her, and she even touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage.

Even though the eight hundred years in Feidu Lake had worn away her spirit, she would never be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm again in this life.

But some things remained.

For example, at this moment—Qi Suowei sensed that the "will of all beings" was being intentionally manipulated and controlled, and a large array seemed to be forming in the shadows.

This is inextricably linked to the Juque School.

Qi Suowei also realized that this great formation covering the south would have power approaching that of a Nascent Soul cultivator when it was truly in operation.

She sat in meditation for ten days.

Observe the flow of spiritual energy in the south.

Finally, he figured out how this grand formation was set up and understood how to break it—by killing people.

As long as enough people are killed.

The great formation covering the south will be unable to function, and the strength of the Juque Sect will be greatly weakened.

"To protect the common people, so you slaughter them?"

At the summit, Qi Suowei chuckled and made his decision.

Everyone has their own place.

Her location was neither within Licheng nor outside of Licheng.

On the day of the final battle, she will stop the cultivators from killing to break the formation. At the same time, she will use her sword to stop the formation from operating at full power, thus saving the lives of tens of thousands of people.

The four cases had nothing to do with her.

Whether Licheng or the Juque Sect wins or loses is none of her concern.

Qi Suowei is a sword immortal who serves all beings and has no responsibility to any power.

Everyone has their own place.

The bigger picture and the long-term future are for those in high positions to consider; Qi Suowei is just a wandering swordsman, she only cares about life and death in the immediate future.

"A powerful swordsman unleashed his aura atop Hengshan Mountain in the south, proclaiming to the world—those who break the formation will die."

"This person will not help either side."

"While preventing others from breaking the formation, it will also hinder the full operation of the Giant Sword Formation..."

Zhu Wuyao has already received the news from Gu Yiguan.

Knowing that this swordsman was none other than the "fake Taoist Master Wuyan" who had appeared in Tongzhou, also known as the Sword Immortal Qi Suowei.

She turned to Gu Yiguan and said:

"At least the world now knows about this great formation that covers the south..."

Zhu Wuyao is holding "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" and reading it attentively.

Unfortunately, Ink Trace Bookstore has already withdrawn from the south, and the ordinary people in the south cannot know this news.

It seems that Fu Shan will not allow these bloodlines, which have been passed down for thousands of years, to migrate out of the south.

She continued looking down—

"An unnamed rogue cultivator appeared in the chaotic southern lands, disguised as a woodcutter, holding a wooden staff and with a hunched back."

"When a person has committed more than a hundred murders, he will come following the flow of blood and qi, unable to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and use the wooden staff in his hand to cripple the cultivation of the murderer."

"It is said that three Nascent Soul stage cultivators once attempted to ambush and kill him, but instead perished under the wooden staff of this nameless rogue cultivator..."

I've never heard of this person before.

Like Qi Suowei, he was also a reclusive master who did not join any sect and did not concern himself with worldly affairs.

envious.

I sincerely envy you.

She also wanted to be like Qi Suowei and the woodcutter, knowing nothing, killing whoever she disliked or whoever had killed the most people.

Don't worry about whether the other person has their own difficulties.

Is there something hidden?

Most importantly, these two individuals possess extremely high cultivation levels. Even if they kill the wrong person or remain neutral towards either Licheng or the Juque Sect, no one can criticize them.

Gu Yi saw Zhu Wuyao's longing and said:

You are different from these people.

"In Licheng, there are countless people you have saved along the way. Many people in the city are your old acquaintances, friends, and fellow disciples."

"The Juque Sect has a grudge against you, not only because of the incident in Nanli City, but also because of the ambush in Tongzhou, the former sect leader, and Fu Shan's coveting of the fragments of the Heavenly Dao."

“You have a stance; you can’t live in isolation and do whatever you want.”

Zhu Wuyao placed "Ten Thousand Book Reviews" on the table and nodded, saying:

"I see."

After saying those three words, Zhu Wuyao paused for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled helplessly.

Since returning to the Star-Picking Tower, she seems to have said the words "I understand" many times.

However, Gu Yiguan's various excuses were ultimately aimed at getting her to stay obediently in the Star-Picking Tower on the day of the decisive battle and not go to Licheng.

Gu Yiguan didn't care whether Zhu Wuyao wanted to hear the pros and cons.

I had already explained it to her in great detail and countless times.

If Zhu Wuyao hadn't been constantly on guard, wary, and unwilling to fully trust Gu Yiguan, she suspected that Gu Yiguan might have actually arrested her and imprisoned her until the end of the Battle of Licheng.

The battle of Licheng could not tolerate the slightest mistake—she understood, she understood everything.

Zhu Wuyao let out a long sigh.

The Juque School.

Song Kezi was wandering around the sect, seemingly carefree, but his every move was being watched by Fu Shan.

Even with Zhu Wuyao, I am not free.

He soon discovered that Fu Shan seemed to look down on him.

Fu Shan actually dared to look down on him!

Thinking about this, Song Kezi felt indignant. He was idly digging a mouse hole in the corner of the Juque Sect's wall.

"Damn it! They don't even want to play with me... Hmph, no problem, when I'm in a high position of power, you won't even have time to curry favor with me!"

"You refuse to listen to my advice and are so stubborn. Do you really think that because you are so powerful, no one can beat you?"

"That despicable Zhu Wuyao! That despicable Fu Shan!"

"Both of them are equally despicable!"

"..."

Just as Song Kezi was squatting in the corner, muttering complaints, a teleportation array suddenly appeared beneath his feet. The next instant, Song Kezi was squatting on the ground, holding a small piece of wood, and stood blankly in front of Fu Shan.

Looking around, Song Kezi immediately beamed and rushed forward, calling out:

Ah! Family!

"Waaaaah... You finally remembered me!"
