Chapter 500: Heavenly Lu City formation core, Breaking into the city (1)
Rumble!!
Above the Heavenly Boundary Abyss was the endless fog accompanied by all kinds of chaotic auras which were extremely mottled and terrifying. This place was majestic and filled with the power of broken laws. Ones that could easily split the body of an ordinary cultivator into a blood mist, destroying both its body and spirit.
Yet at this moment, in this very quiet place, a brilliance suddenly appeared and an altar hidden in the dark glowed with spatial fluctuations. Two figures manifested from it, a man and a woman, both of whom looked young.
The man had a regular face and a medium build, revealing a firm and unyielding posture. The woman beside him was dressed in white that made her holy and aloof, shrouded in radiance.
They were Lin Wu and Song Chan.
“It was dangerous. I was almost discovered. Going out of the city at this time will inevitably make people suspect us.”
Song Chan looked around the place for a week. And seeing that they had left Heavenly Lu City, arriving at the land of Heavenly Boundary Abyss, he couldn’t help sighing softly.
After making this decision, they were beyond redemption. But now that it was over, she had no choice. She and Lin Wu had been carefully hiding since they left the secret pa.s.sage of the pavilion in Heavenly Lu City, fearing that they would be seen by anyone.
Fortunately, the journey was very careful, and they left Heavenly Lu City without any danger. They had pa.s.sed the road that Lin Wu had already prepared to venture outside Heavenly Lu City.
After the battle some time ago, there were not many breaths of life present, and it was very quiet.
“After today, I’m afraid they won’t have the chance to criticize us. Without the formation of Heavenly Lu City, how can they resist the army of the Upper Realm?”
Compared to Song Chan’s sigh, Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief. It was as if the stone on his heart had finally been put down. In his hand, he was holding the bronze box containing the core of the Heavenly Lu City formation.
The Dao of this realm was faint, misty and mysterious, which could make people feel palpitations and there seemed to be an ancient world there. Lin Wu felt that he had completed the task a.s.signed by Gu Changge within half a year. His little life was saved for the time being, and by taking this opportunity he could also save the life of his sweetheart, Luluo.
“Are you so sure that Gu Changge will come as agreed?”
Song Chan’s voice was a little puzzled as the scene in Heavenly Lu City and could not help but flash in her mind. She witnessed with her own eyes the terrifying scene in which the invincible figure from their realm, Zhao Yunze, the strongest person of his generation 60 million years ago, was suppressed and killed by Gu Changge twice.
Gu Changge gave her the feeling of being mysterious and indifferent, exuding unparalleled horror and strength, that he was simply invincible. Even Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, the invincible Master in her mind, finally fell into Gu Chang’s hands and her life and death were beyond her control.
If it wasn’t for saving her Master, she probably wouldn’t dare to get close to such a character in her life.
“Although Gu Changge is a little despicable and cruel, sometimes he keeps his promise…” Lin Wu gritted his teeth, while also comforting himself.
When Gu Changge was in the land of Boundary Monument Sea, Gu Changge did promise to let them go, but he didn’t promise to let Luluo go. So in the end, Luluo was still taken away by Gu Changge.
“Sometimes?” Song Chan visibly choked up.
While the two were talking, in the void not far away, ripples suddenly spread and then the void became blurred. A burst of fluctuations appeared.
In the next moment, a slender and handsome figure in white clothes walked out. His face was blurry at first, but as they approached the two of them the layer of mysterious mist that shrouded them slowly dissipated.
Song Chan looked at the young man in front of him, who looked like a banished immortal. She was a little stunned, unable to react.
If she hadn’t witnessed Gu Changge’s terrifying power with her own eyes, it would have been difficult for her to connect with the man in front of him who was entwined with immortal energy and exuded an otherworldly aura.
However, Gu Changge just glanced at her and ignored her. He looked at Lin Wu who was looking at him vigilantly as he smiled lightly and said, “The task entrusted to you has been completed?”
Lin Wu got gooseb.u.mps and he was going to contact Gu Changge with the imprint of his mind. But he didn’t expect that Gu Changge would suddenly appear as if Gu Changge was in control of his every move from beginning to end.
This feeling made him shudder.
“It’s done, but there are eight formation cores in Heavenly Lu City, and I only got hold of one.”
Lin Wu heard the words and said, and at the same time motioned to the bronze box in his hand. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this bronze box was not simple, it was exuding a world-like aura, simple and heavy.
“Only one piece? But it doesn’t matter.” Gu Changge slightly raised his eyebrows and nodded.
He didn’t doubt that Heavenly Lu City’s large formation had more than one place of control. And if one piece was taken away, then the large formation would become incomplete, the resistance power would be greatly reduced, and even cracks could appear in some areas.
However, Lin Wu did not directly hand it over to Gu Changge, but still stared at him vigilantly.
“I hope you can keep your promise, let Luluo go, and lift the imprint on me. Otherwise, if I open this box now, the core of the formation will automatically fly back to Heavenly Lu City. If you don’t agree, then even if I die, I won’t let you succeed. What’s more, she is Song Chan, the apprentice of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, and she wants to see her Master safe and sound.”
Lin Wu was very cautious while he continued to speak, and at the same time pointed to Song Chan next to him before he began to raise his own conditions. Although it was now rumored that Heavenly Maiden Tianlu betrayed the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions and became Gu Changge’s concubine.
They didn’t know if it was true or not. Many powerhouses in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions had not seen Heavenly Maiden Tianlu with their own eyes. So Song Chan was a little worried, for fear that something unexpected happened to her Master.
Otherwise those rumors were deliberately said by the Upper Realm in order to hit the morale of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions.
“Don’t worry, Gu will never break his promises. Fortunately, you are not too slow, otherwise, a certain genius of our clan has taken a fancy to your sweetheart and planned to take him as a maid. I was considering whether to give it to him.”
Gu Changge smiled lightly when he heard the words, his words were contemptuous, and he didn’t take Lin Wu’s threat to heart.
“You!”
Hearing this, Lin Wu’s complexion was a bit ugly, and he clenched his fists tightly, knowing that Gu Changge had the means to make Luluo’s life worse than death. Although he wasn’t afraid of death when he thought of Luluo’s torture like that, he felt a knife in his heart and he couldn’t bear it.
“I see, I hope you can keep your word.” He gritted his teeth and handed the bronze box to Gu Changge unwillingly.
“Gu Changge, where is my Master? I want to see my Master.” Seeing that Gu Changge ignored her, Song Chan couldn’t help feeling a little anxious, and couldn’t help asking.
After Gu Changge took the bronze box, he took a look at her, then smiled and said, “Your apprentice wants to see you, so why don’t you show up to see her?”
And as his words fell, a soft sigh sounded from the void behind him.
A stunning, tall and graceful beauty emerged with a delicate and flawless face. Three thousand blue hairs dancing in the wind, holy and out of the world, like a divine lotus, independent of the world.
“Master…”
Song Chan looked at the Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, her whole body almost frozen. She never thought that Heavenly Maiden Tianlu was really by Gu Changge’s side now. She was not restricted by Gu Changge or imprisoned in a certain place as she thought.
“Little girl, you shouldn’t be here.”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu looked at her apprentice with complicated eyes, and her words couldn’t contain her sigh.
“Master, I want to save you, so I took the formation core of Heavenly Lu City…”
Song Chan thought Heavenly Maiden Tianlu was sighing because she stole the formation core of Heavenly Lu City, and couldn’t help explaining.
However, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu waved her hand and interrupted her, “But this is the end of the matter, you don’t have to go back to the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions in the future.”
Song Chan was stunned, but she didn’t expect Heavenly Maiden Tianlu to say that. Could it be true that Heavenly Maiden Tianlu surrendered to the Upper Realm voluntarily, as rumored?
She thought that her Master would blame herself. But now it seemed that the relationship between Gu Changge and Heavenly Maiden Tianlu seemed to be very close, which made her confused.
