Chapter 978: Unusual Ancient Mulberry City, Butler
“With his means, it is not difficult to destroy our world. Then why didn’t he do this, and what is his purpose in coming to this world?”
“That’s what I can not figure out.” Snow Sword Immortal’s tall and slender figure with blue hair like a waterfall stood on the top of the cliff, dancing lightly in the cold wind, with a strange beauty.
At this moment, her eyebrows under the moon-white mask were furrowed, and her words carried an inconceivable meaning to herself.
“That guy’s background is so big? That’s even more unbelievable.” The old Sword Immortal frowned even tighter, and his heart was even more puzzled.
If Gu Changge had no purpose, then he wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death. No one had ever displayed good intentions for no reason in this world. Not to mention this group of demons from beyond the sky.
According to the information he had learned, the group of extraterrestrial demons had already captured and occupied many ancient worlds like the Jianxuan Great World. Anything that emphasized immortality, long-term vision, and aloofness from the world was bullshit in his opinion, and he couldn’t believe it at all.
“Maybe not necessarily. If he really has any plans for our world, there is no need to go through so much trouble.” Snow Sword Immortal lightly shook her head.
“Are you really going to trust him?” The old Sword Immortal frowned and said, his gaze was like a sword, making the void tremble, and his words were somewhat dissatisfied. He looked extremely serious.
“Xue girl, in any case, you are the current Master of Sword Sect, you have to think twice before you act, and you can’t be as reckless as before.” In terms of seniority, he and Snow Sword Immortal’s master were actually of the same generation.
In the early years, Xue Jianxian was taught by him personally. So he still had a little understanding of Snow Sword Immortal’s character, knowing that what she said was actually planning to meet Mr. Gu. But according to the information obtained, the subordinate next to Mr. was suspected to be a powerhouse in the ninth realm.
Not to mention Mr. Gu’s strength was even more unfathomable and unimaginable. Although Snow Sword Immortal had stepped into the Sword Immortal level, in front of Mr. Gu, it was definitely far from enough.
If the other party had evil intentions, wouldn’t Snow Sword Immortal be a sheep entering the mouth of a tiger?
“At this time, is there any other choice?” Snow Sword Immortal said without any fluctuations in her expression,
“I have already considered the consequences very clearly, so you don’t have to worry about it, uncle.”
“You…” The old Sword Immortal looked sullen, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Snow Sword Immortal, trembling uncontrollably, obviously he was very angry.
In the end, seeing Snow Sword immortal’s expression remained unchanged, he couldn’t help sighing, then turned into a sword light and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Snow Sword Immortal had already decided, and it was difficult for him to persuade her. But he didn’t believe Mr. Gu.
In the eyes of the old Sword Immortal, since his status was so terrifying in the Upper Realm, if he was caught, it would definitely make the forces in the Upper Realm afraid to throw in the towel. At critical times, it might still work wonders.
“It’s time to take out the Sword Immortal Token and unite all the Sword Immortals to defeat the demons…”
In the eyes of the old Sword Immortal, there were thousands of sword lights circulating, skimming the sky, and walking in the void. In an instant, he disappeared thousands of miles away and headed back in the direction of the Shu Sect.
Seeing the old Sword Immortal disappear without a trace, Snow Sword Immortal who had been standing for a long time sighed softly. Immediately, her figure turned into a puff of white mist with a bang and was already thousands of miles away when she reappeared.
She actually understood the old Sword Immortal’s worries, but there were some things that must be tried. For the entire Jianxuan Great World, that was the only chance.
There were thirteen states in the Jianxuan Great World, and in each state, there were giant powers like the Sword Sect and Shu Sect. This kind of power had a very long inheritance, surpassing hundreds of thousands of years, and there were at least two Sword Immortals among those powers.
Therefore, the news of Gu Changge’s appearance in the Southern Ming Dynasty quickly spread among these big forces, causing a great commotion.
As a visitor from outside the sky, he was even in the same category as the group of extraterrestrial demons. But he didn’t have any malicious intentions, as if he came here especially to have fun and relax.
Afterward, many details, including Gu Changge’s origin, intentions, etc., were constantly interpreted by various forces, causing many speculations. Although he saved Chen Ah Qing and Princess Xuandie of the Southern Ming Dynasty, people still couldn’t believe it.
After all, he was not one of them, so his heart might be different. Some people expressed worry, while others expressed disdain. They felt that Gu Changge’s intentions were unclear, and he had absolutely no good intentions, so they needed to be extremely vigilant.
However, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty trusted Gu Changge’s words extremely and began to gather many forces around him, and sent people in search for the will of the Jianxuan Great World.
According to what Gu Changge said, the will of the world would not wake up all the time but would appear at a certain period, and it would choose to be in slumber at other times. Unless they could find its location, it would be difficult for them to wake it up.
In the next few days, a terrorizing battle broke out in the Southern Barren State.
The vast army of the Upper Realm came here and fought against the Southern Ming Dynasty and many surrounding forces at the ruins of Southern Barren City, which was extremely tragic.
This battle destroyed the mountains and caused rivers to change color, piling up mountains of corpses as blood pooled into a river, and many corpses floating in it. The entire world was in a daze.
The forces in the rest of the states also immediately dispatched large armies to support them. It could be said unceremoniously that this battle was the real beginning of the capture of the Jianxuan Great World by many Dao forces in the Upper Realm.
The entire Jianxuan Great World was shrouded in the shadow of horror, too many powerful people had been sacrificed, and large areas of the territory had fallen, turning into a piece of red land, full of devastation.
In this battle, many young supreme beings from the Upper Realm also performed extremely well, sweeping one side like a broken bamboo.
They did not fight with the army, but went to various cities alone, inviting the young generation of Jianxuan Great World to fight, with an extremely arrogant attitude, and completely ignored the young generation in this world.
The ending was naturally doomed, even if they were disciples of the Sword Sect, Shu Sect, Mount Kong, and other forces of the Jianxuan Great World, they were not opponents of the younger generation of the Upper Realm.
Either they were defeated and fled, or they were killed on the spot, dying in the sky, and blood spattered in all directions.
Meanwhile, on the other side. Ancient Mulberry City, located in the extreme north of the Northern Region of Jianxuan Great World, became famous because of an ancient mulberry tree in ancient times.
However, tens of thousands of years had passed, and the ancient mulberry tree in the current ancient mulberry city had long since died, leaving only a dry stump.
Gu Changge followed Ah Qing to leave the Southern Ming Dynasty and returned here, waiting for her to meet his mother.
The city was dilapidated, the two gates were about to collapse, and the moat was also turbid, full of silt, about to dry up. It could be seen that some loaches were drilling around, looking extremely dilapidated.
“Stop, who are you?!” There were more than a dozen soldiers on the ancient city wall full of cracks.
Their armor was not complete, holding an iron spear and a rusty long sword, they were very vigilant, shouting at Gu Changge and others with them.
Now that the heavenly demons from outside the territory were invading, although the ancient mulberry city was far away from the place where the battle took place, news had already come back, making everyone extremely cautious, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
Moreover, Ancient Mulberry City was extremely remote and experienced many disasters during this period. Even the common people among them lived extremely hard.
It was rare to see Gu Changge’s well-dressed, handsome and refined characters. At this moment, they were extremely vigilant, with runes shining on their bodies, and they were always ready to strike.
At this time, Ah Qing looked at the ancient city in front of her with a complicated expression. She walked out from behind Gu Changge as she said, “I am back.”
Ancient Mulberry City was originally an ancient city taken over by her grandfather. Although it was remote before, it was not as dilapidated as it was now. It must have happened during the time she disappeared.
After her father stepped on the rift outside the sky, she and her mother moved to the Ancient Mulberry City from her seclusion to live with her grandfather. And half a year ago, she quietly left this ancient city and embarked on the road to find her father.
“What happened in Ancient Mulberry City? Why did it become like this?”
Princess Xuandie who came here was also surprised, because of Ah Qing’s relationship, she had also been to the Ancient Mulberry City before.
Although the Ancient Mulberry City was not very prosperous, it was not as dilapidated as it was now. It was like two different cities.
“This city is kind of weird.” Gu Changge’s eyes were a little strange, there were black and white colors in the eyes, and he looked carefully.
“What?”
“It’s really Miss?! Miss is back?”
Several soldiers standing on the city wall recognized Ah Qing, their eyes widened in shock, unbelievable.
The news about Ah Qing had not come here from Southern Barren State, they always thought that the young lady died in the sky, and the old city lord almost passed out, it was difficult to accept this fact.
They never expected to see Miss today, and they all suspected that all this was an illusion.
“It’s me, I’m back.” Ah Qing nodded with a complicated and dazed expression.
“Great, it’s really Miss. Miss, she is safe and sound, go and report to the city lord!”
All the soldiers on the city wall were boiling, extremely excited.
Soon, the entire ancient mulberry city was alarmed. The young lady who had disappeared for more than half a year suddenly appeared and came back safe and sound, which caused a great commotion.
Divine lights swept over, and everyone in the city lord’s mansion showed up, and the old city lord who heard the news rushed over immediately. There were tears running down an old man’s face, and he was extremely excited.
“Grandpa…” Ah Qing looked at her grandfather, who was much older than before, with a sore nose, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine, Ah Qing, it’s fine if you come back, it’s fine if you come back, it’s fine if you’re fine.”
The old city lord’s figure was a bit hunched with silver hair like steel needles like an old lion who was not angry. He exuded a great majesty, it could be vaguely seen that he was heroic and extraordinary when he was young.
He stretched out his palm like a cattail leaf fan, and gently stroked Ah Qing’s head, his eyes full of satisfaction.
“I’m sorry for making you worry. I shouldn’t have secretly left Ancient Mulberry City to find my father without telling you and my mother…” Ah Qing said with guilt.
“It’s over now, as long as you’re safe and sound. Your mother was worried about you during this time and almost became sick from fatigue. After knowing that you’re back, she can finally relax.” The old city lord sighed.
While speaking, his eyes fell on Gu Changge behind Ah Qing, with inquiries and doubts.
“And this one is?” He naturally recognized Princess Xuandie, but he felt that Gu Changge looked extremely strange.
The granddaughter suddenly came back with such a young man by her side. Anyone else would be confused.
And with his cultivation level, he couldn’t see through Gu Changge’s reality, which made him very awe-inspiring.
“Mother?” Ah Qing was a little worried, but she still explained, “This is Mr. Gu, my benefactor. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be able to come back safely.”
“Benefactor?” The old city lord was stunned for a moment, suppressing more doubts in his heart, and asked Ah Qing to lead people into the city.
On the way, he briefly told Ah Qing what had happened during this period, including how the Ancient Mulberry City had become so dilapidated.
In the final analysis, it was the enemy that Ah Qing’s father provoked back then. After hearing that he had disappeared, he came to seek revenge.
“Father’s original enemy?” A look of coldness appeared on Ah Qing’s small face, and she clenched her delicate white fists tightly.
Her father was an existence at the level of a Sword Immortal, and his enemy was at least a master of the eighth realm or even the ninth realm. And her grandfather was only in the seventh realm, so he couldn’t compete at all.
“Are those enemies still coming?” She asked with a bit of a murderous look on her face.
Hearing this question, the old city lord also showed a smile on his face, shook his head, and said, “I don’t know what happened a while ago, those enemies who came to provoke and seek trouble suddenly disappeared. I suspect that it was your father’s former friends who helped us.”
“I see.” Ah Qing breathed a sigh of relief, since her father was gone, she should now protect grandpa and mother.
“This place is actually a place where the spiritual veins of Heaven and Earth meet…”
After entering the ancient mulberry city, Gu Changge’s expression became more and more strange.
Although coming from the outside, this place was extremely remote, in his eyes, he could see the purple aura steaming, flooding the world, just like ten thousand immortals returning to their nests and dragons rising into the sky.
This kind of terrain was obviously the source of myriad veins, the source of beauty, and it was even more valuable than the palace of the Southern Ming Dynasty.
“Could it be that there is something hidden here, or is there something special?” Gu Changge was thoughtful.
Soon, in the city lord’s mansion, Ah Qing and her mother were separated for half a year and finally saw each other again. She couldn’t hide her excitement, and it took a long time for her to calm down.
“You left without saying goodbye, do you know how worried I have been for the past six months?” Ah Qing’s mother held her daughter’s hand tightly with a reproachful tone.
“I’m sorry mother, now that I have come I won’t leave. Father, he probably didn’t fall into the hands of those extraterrestrial demons. According to the information I got, at the critical moment, my father’s cultivation level broke through again, and he escaped into the space crack…” Ah Qing took a few deep breaths before speaking slowly.
“I knew your father wouldn’t get into trouble so easily.” Hearing this, Ah Qing’s mother and grandfather breathed a sigh of relief.
Then her eyes fell on Gu Changge, and she couldn’t help asking, “Is this young master the benefactor you mentioned?”
Although Gu Changge looked handsome and gentle, she always had an indescribable feeling that this kind of person should not appear here, and they were not in the same world.
“Yes, Mr. Gu saved me. He actually came from beyond the sky…” Ah Qing looked a little grateful, then thought for a while, then nodded and said, intending to explain.
“From beyond the sky?”
But at this moment, a slightly surprised voice sounded from outside the hall. A young man of medium build and dressed in butler clothes was standing there with tea in his hand, as if he was a little surprised.
