Chapter 617: What is his origin? The master from outside the sky
Princess Xuandie’s face was full of surprise, she had never expected to see Ah Qing again one day.
Originally, when she learned that Ah Qing broke into the crack in the sky alone and tried to find her father, she was very worried and even felt that the two would never see each other again.
Seeing Ah Qing here today was really a surprise to her, and it felt a little incredible.
“Xuandie.” With a rare smile on Ah Qing’s face, she walked toward Princess Xuandie and the others.
Seeing that Princess Xuandie and others were in danger, she asked Gu Changge to save them. The reason why the powerhouse from the Upper Realm retreated just now was that he sensed Gu Changge’s existence.
“Who are these two?”
A hint of surprise appeared in Princess Xuandie’s beautiful eyes, looking at Gu Changge and Alpha behind Ah Qing, she couldn’t help asking. She didn’t forget how the strong man retreated just while she just glanced in the direction where Ah Qing was.
And the att.i.tude was extremely respectful and fearful. Could it be related to this handsome and extraordinary man in front of him?
This made Princess Xuandie feel inexplicably vigilant. It was impossible for her to be able to scare away such a strong man who stepped half a foot into the eighth realm.
Although saving her was a kind gesture, if the other party was from beyond the sky, it was difficult to tell whether they were an enemy or a friend. Moreover, Gu Changge gave her an extremely mysterious and powerful feeling. Even the burly figure behind him who looked like his subordinate exuded a trembling aura.
Combined with the fearful att.i.tude of the strong man just now, this person’s background was absolutely extraordinary.
“This is Mr. Gu, and also my benefactor. Don’t worry, although he is from outside the world, he has no malice towards us.”
Ah Qing didn’t know how to explain Gu Changge’s reason for coming to Princess Xuandie, so she could only make a long story short and introduce it casually.
Princess Xuandie nodded. Although Ah Qing said so, she still felt a little uneasy. However, the life-saving grace just now was true. If Gu Changge hadn’t shown up to startle the strong man away, she and many of her followers would have died tragically here.
At this moment, with a solemn face, she cupped her hands to Gu Changge and said, “Thank you for saving my life, young master. If there is a chance in the future, Xuandie will repay it.”
With an easy-going and indifferent smile on Gu Changge’s face, he smiled and said, “It’s just a little effort, the princess doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Everyone else could see that Gu Changge’s ident.i.ty was not simple. What was more, judging from the current situation, it was not clear whether he was an enemy or a friend, so after thanking them, they all remained silent, feeling a little vigilant and uneasy.
Although Gu Changge looked gentle and elegant, he was not from the Jianxuan Great World after all.
Looking at this scene, Gu Changge still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn’t seem to care. He did not have any malice towards the creatures of this world, after all, he came for the origin of the world.
“Ah Qing, after you went to that rift in the sky, what did you encounter later? Did you see those seniors and the source of the disaster there?”
Princess Xuandie seemed to have remembered an important matter, and despite the fact that Gu Changge was still at the side, she couldn’t help asking Ah Qing.
The rest of the people also became solemn when they heard the words, and they p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen. This was something they cared about very much.
Back then, four terrestrial existences at the level of Sword Immortal set foot on the rift in the sky together to find the source of the disaster and wipe it out. But after entering, they disappeared without a trace like a mud cow into the sea, and no news came back.
Many people speculated that they fell within the crack because the soul lamps left by the four Sword Immortals were inexplicably extinguished in the end. Later people tried to find their whereabouts, but none of those who went to find them came back safely.
It could be said that except Ah Qing, no one came back alive. So they were eager to know what happened to Ah Qing there.
“When I just pa.s.sed through that crack, I was caught by the group of extraterrestrial demons, and then I was taken to that huge world, where I was imprisoned for several months. If Mr. Gu hadn’t saved me, I’m afraid I would have died by now, and it would be impossible to come back.” Ah Qing recalled that experience, with a complex expression on her face.
For her, it was an extremely dark and hopeless past. She was imprisoned in a dark dungeon without even the slightest light. In that hunting game, Gu Changge’s appearance was like the first ray of light in the darkness for her.
“I see.” Princess Xuandie didn’t expect Ah Qing to almost die there. Listening to her experience, the princess felt a bit of fear lingering in her mind..
The rest were a little disappointed, they thought they could get a lot of news about that world through Ah Qing’s mouth.
“Then your father and the others?” Princess Xuandie asked again, somewhat concerned.
“I don’t know. I haven’t found any news about them.” Ah Qing shook her head.
Afterward, she threw bomb-like shocking news to everyone, “The power of that world is beyond our imagination. The large-scale invasion army this time can only be regarded as negligible to that world.”
“Negligible?” Princess Xuandie felt a bit bitter in her mouth, it was just an army with a negligible strength, and it was by no means something they could compete with.
This was really a hopeless situation.
“Princess!”
At this time, there was a sound piercing the sky in the distance, and several figures quickly approached before descending from the sky, their faces full of anxiety.
Ah Qing looked over, and the person who rushed over had reached the eighth realm. He was a Royal enshrined in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the rest of them were also at the sixth level with Sword Sect’s logo.
The Southern Ming Dynasty was the most powerful kingdom among Sword Sect’s affiliated powers. It was impossible for the Sword Sect not to send their disciples when such a big event happened that Southern Barren City was destroyed.
In the entire Southern Barren State, the Sword Sect was the well-deserved overlord. The current master of Sword Sect was Snow Sword Immortal who was known as the most beautiful woman in Southern Barren State, and Princess Xuandie was also her disciple.
“Minister Chen?” Princess Xuandie and the others also let out a long sigh of relief when they saw the strong man in the eighth realm.
It seems that the emperor of Southern Ming had immediately sent this minister Chen to rescue them after learning the news that Southern Barren City had fallen.
“Princess, it’s good that you are fine.” Seeing that Princess Xuandie was safe and sound, Minister Chen was completely relieved.
“Junior Sister Xuandie is fine.” The rest of Sword Sect’s disciples who were following behind Minister Chen also surrounded him with worried faces.
“Hey, isn’t this Ah Qing?” Suddenly, someone recognized Ah Qing and was very surprised.
As one of the four young masters of the Jianxuan Great World, many younger generations had been defeated by her sword. Her father was even a hidden Sword Immortal, whose strength was so powerful that he could overlook the world! It was rumored that she stepped into the rift outside the sky to find traces of her father, why did she appear there?
They all had doubts in their hearts, and they were very puzzled.
“Princess, who are these two?” Minister Chen, who was in the eighth realm, looked at Gu Changge and Alpha, who was casually looking at them, but his heart skipped a beat and he couldn’t help asking.
In his perception, this smiling young man was like a deep and vast unknown s.p.a.ce, filled with an aura that made his heart tremble. This feeling was even stronger than when he faced that Snow Sword Immortal.
He didn’t dare to underestimate him, and he felt extremely cautious.
“This is Young Master Gu. He was the one who saved our lives just now. If it wasn’t for him, we would have been killed by that extraterrestrial demon just now, just like the elder.”
Princess Xuandie explained, repeating what Ah Qingyuan said just now, and briefly introduced the process.
“What? The elder is dead?” Minister Chen and the others were taken aback and then looked sad. A strong man in the seventh realm was killed before they arrived.
It seemed that it was pure luck that Princess Xuandie and the others survived. Thinking of this, they were afraid for a while. Without Gu Changge’s help, Princess Xuan Die might have turned into a pile of bones when they arrived.
“Thank you for the kindness of this young master. After returning to the imperial capital, His Majesty will definitely thank you for your kindness.”
Minister Chen didn’t know Gu Changge’s origin, so he cupped his hands with respect on his face.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to be like this.” Gu Changge only smiled slightly at this.
“This gentleman is so young, yet his strength is unfathomable, I wonder about his master?” A tall and straight young disciple from the Sword Sect, with curious eyes, couldn’t help asking.
They felt that Gu Changge’s age was about the same as theirs, but being able to push back an existence that could easily kill a strong man in the seventh realm was obviously at the eighth realm or above.
So they were very curious about Gu Changge’s background and succession.
Hearing this question, Princess Xuandie frowned, her hair danced lightly, white skin and l.u.s.trous beautiful eyes on her melon face contained a strange aura, fresh and refined.
She hesitated to speak, she didn’t know how to explain to everyone that Gu Changge also came from beyond the sky. However, when she was about to explain, Gu Changge smiled slightly and said, “I came from outside the sky. As for my master, it’s hard to tell, after all, my path is complicated.”
“What?”
“Beyond the sky?”
It was said that no matter whether it was the Sword Sect disciple who asked just now or Minister Chen’s expressions, they were all stiff and a little dull.
After reacting, a gust of cold air swept from his spine, causing their expressions to change drastically, and they looked at Gu Changge in disbelief with fear on their faces.
“Beyond the sky?” Several disciples of the Sword Sect had pale faces, their voices were trembling, and they couldn’t help but back away.
Minister Chen stared at Gu Changge with great fear, intentionally or unintentionally keeping Princess Xuandie behind him.
“Actually, those creatures and cultivators outside the sky are not what you think. Mr. Gu is a good person and has no malicious intentions.” Seeing this, Ah Qing sighed.
She had antic.i.p.ated that things would turn out like this, and couldn’t help explaining so that everyone could be relieved without having to be afraid.
Afterward, Princess Xuandie also added, informing Minister Chen and others to relax, there was no need to be like this.
Even so, minister Chen and the others did not dare to treat Gu Changge as casually as they did just now, and there was always a feeling that was making their hair stand on end, trembling all over.
“About Ah Qing, let’s talk about it after we return to the imperial capital. The Southern Barren City is broken, and we can’t defend here anymore.” Princess Xuandie concluded.
The Southern Barren State was extremely vast, while the Southern Ming Dynasty was located in the depths, with a vast territory. After leaving this place, everyone used s.p.a.ce runes to cross the void several times, bypa.s.sing endless mountains and rivers before arriving at the imperial capital.
This ancient city was incomparably majestic, and covered a vast area like an immortal city in the sky, exuding the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes. The city gate was tall, like a hill, even if a large group of beasts walked side by side, it would not be crowded.
The walls were mottled, and there were fluctuations on them. If an enemy invaded, it would overflow with divine light and protect the entire ancient city. The purple aura in the center of the city was soaring into the sky, dense and it had turned into a dragon shape. At first glance, it was the place where the dragon veins gathered, and the aura of heaven and earth flowed. It was an excellent place for cultivation. Many sword cultivators gathered around, with powerful auras, turning into streaks of light, flying across the sky and earth with the sword under their feet.
The silhouettes of Princess Xuandie, Minister Chen, Gu Changge, and others, transmitted through the s.p.a.ce formations, emerged outside the city gate.
