C564 – Was Interrupted
“I’ve waited here for countless eons, just for you.”
Witnessing Zhang Xuan being suppressed by Mount Tai, Gou Chen discarded his pretense and revealed a fierce expression.
“A savior? I’ve never needed anyone to save me. I don’t put my faith in saviors; I believe only in destiny!”
“Once I possess you, I’ll become the true savior!”
“This treasure was intended for Bai Xiaosheng himself. I knew he wasn’t trustworthy. The moment he predicted the arrival of a savior, he was plotting to replace me with that savior.”
“Ever since he made the prophecy, I’ve been secretly observing him. I never expected this old man to succeed in his schemes.”
“With your soul eternally suppressed at the foot of this mountain, I will have complete control over your body and effortlessly seize your fortune!”
Saying this, Gou Chen’s face brimmed with pride, as if he had accomplished something immensely glorious.
With a cold gaze fixed on Zhang Xuan, Gou Chen continued, “You are excessively cautious, kid. Luhuang’s compliments seem well-deserved. You possess some skills, managing to detect something amiss in the room.”
“I’m aware that your Spiritual Wisdom is still intact, but don’t bother struggling because you can’t break free. Instead, consider cooperating with me. Perhaps I’ll spare a fragment of your Spiritual Wisdom. Once I become the ruler and dispose of Yin Tianzi, I’ll revive you!”
“Ever since your arrival here, you were destined to be my sacrifice.”
Gou Chen carried on, and Zhang Xuan remained silent, simply observing Gou Chen’s pretentious act. He was genuinely curious about Gou Chen’s next move.
Coincidentally, he required time to refine Mount Tai.
The process of refining Mount Tai progressed smoothly, surprisingly smooth. It was as if Mount Tai had been awaiting his arrival for this very purpose.
Zhang Xuan was puzzled. Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng had truly refined Mount Tai to take control of him?
After a moment, Gou Chen fixed his gaze on Zhang Xuan. Just when Zhang Xuan thought he might have been found out, Gou Chen spoke up:
“Mr. Zhang, I was only teasing you earlier. Did you happen to see the prophecy inside?”
Zhang Xuan’s expression darkened. Gou Chen had been waiting for quite some time. It seemed he had genuine concerns.
He scolded himself for being too paranoid! He was acting like a weirdo.
But on second thought, it made sense. If he weren’t eccentric, why would he have spent tens of millions of years here?
A cold smile crossed his mind. If Gou Chen knew that his actions had given Zhang Xuan the opportunity to refine Mount Tai, would he be infuriated to the point of madness?
“Mr. Zhang?”
This guy still didn’t do anything.
“Buzz!”
Zhang Xuan’s body trembled. Mount Tai had been completely refined by him and merged into his mind.
“Ding… Congratulations to host for completing the intermediate hidden quest, Great Dao experience + 1 million!”
“Ding… Congratulations to host for leveling up. Your current level is 95.”
Almost at the same time as the electronic voice rang in Zhang Xuan’s mind, Gou Chen could no longer hold himself back. He stood there, his soul leaving his body, and was about to enter Zhang Xuan’s mind.
Zhang Xuan sneered. He was waiting for you. After refining Mount Tai, Zhang Xuan understood the attributes of Mount Tai. It could help him consolidate his soul, make him immune to any spiritual attack, and also devour other people’s souls for his own use.
This Gou Chen was simply taking the initiative to deliver himself to his doorstep!
“Master!”
A black shadow suddenly knocked open the door and knocked Gou Chen’s body away. Gou Chen, who was about to enter Zhang Xuan’s mind, was stunned for a moment. After that, a violent surge of energy was pulled out of Zhang Xuan’s mind.
“Damn!”
“Damn!”
Zhang Xuan and Gou Chen cursed at the same time.
However, Zhang Xuan was thinking in his heart while Gou Chen was cursing at him.
“Luhuang, what are you trying to do? Get the hell out of here!”
Seeing that his plan of thirty million years was about to succeed, how could Gou Chen not be angry when Luhuang stopped him at this moment?
“Master, Zhang Xuan is a good man!”
Luhuang’s eyes turned red. He glared at Gou Chen, not daring to believe what he had just seen.
His most respected master had actually done it in front of his face and behind his back.
He had never thought that his master had meticulously arranged everything here for tens of millions of years. All of this was not for the protection of Human Clan, but for the possession of Zhang Xuan.
In his heart, his master had always been a great hero. But at this moment, Luhuang couldn’t be admired anymore.
A conspiracy!
All of this was actually his master’s scheme.
He had schemed for thirty million years just to possess Zhang Xuan.
“What do you know?”
Gou Chen glared at Luhuang angrily. A good person?
There were many good people in this world, and there was no shortage of Zhang Xuan.
“Am I doing this for myself? I am doing this for all mankind.”
“Yin Tianzi is about to break through to the Sovereign realm. Once he breaks through, no one in this world can stop him. Only I can, but I need to possess Zhang Xuan.”
“Do you know why I am doing this now?”
Gou Chen’s face contorted with concern. With Luhuang present, possessing Zhang Xuan peacefully would be impossible. Once Luhuang interfered with his soul upon leaving his body, Gou Chen’s strength would be reduced to that of a child’s.
Filled with ruthlessness, Gou Chen stared at Luhuang and declared, “Do you doubt my words? I won’t truly kill Zhang Xuan. Everything I’m doing is for the greater good.”
“I’ll preserve Zhang Xuan’s soul. Once I gain mastery and defeat the Yin Prince, I’ll bring him back to life.”
Zhang Xuan nodded vigorously, urging Luhuang to leave so that Gou Chen could take over his body.
He couldn’t wait any longer!
This was because the system had assigned another hidden mission to eliminate Gou Chen.
Whenever Uncle Zhang and the others mentioned the Burial World, they seemed deeply afraid, but Zhang Xuan wondered why. Wasn’t that place excellent?
Just by observing Gou Chen, one could tell that the people here had good temperaments and impressive abilities. They even sent him treasures whenever they had the chance. Where could he find such generous individuals?
Furthermore, Gou Chen had prepared treasures for Zhang Xuan for thirty million years. Just the thought of it moved him.
Sadly, Zhang Xuan and Gou Chen were archenemies. Otherwise, he genuinely wanted to bestow Gou Chen the ‘Three Good Citizen’ Award.
Zhang Xuan nodded his head and was stunned.
Gou Chen found himself equally astonished. He blurted out, “You… How is this possible? You shouldn’t be able to break free from this confinement!”
It was worth noting how many attempts he had made. This peculiar mountain could suppress even a Heavenly King expert, as long as they were caught off guard.
Zhang Xuan was undeniably unique, but despite his uniqueness, given his current cultivation level, not even a Heavenly King could escape from this treasure. How did Zhang Xuan manage to break free from it?
Zhang Xuan paused for a moment, then stood firmly in place, a smile on his face. “Indeed, how could you have trapped me? Gou Chen, I’ve already sensed that something was amiss with you. How could I not be cautious around you?”
Gou Chen looked at Zhang Xuan, dazed for a moment, before breaking into a smile.
“Hahaha, I almost fell for your trickery. It appears that this soul-absorbing treasure has a time limit. You can already regain some control, but you can’t move, can you?”
A fierce smile spread across Gou Chen’s face.
“Nonsense! You dare to attack me?!” Zhang Xuan roared furiously, though he couldn’t help but give the impression that he was merely trying to act tough.
What Gou Chen didn’t know was that Zhang Xuan was screaming internally, “You fool! Hurry up and attack! I can’t wait any longer!”
