A new world

Qi Yan found a new world!?

Zhao Wu Chui shot up, loudly yelling: Thats not possible! After so many years, all the worlds that could be found have already been found

What if its true? Gu Qing Shan asked.

Ye Ying Mei questioned in a low voice: Rakshasa Peaks 3 Cryptic realm cultivators searched around the void of space for over a hundred years and they couldnt find any new worlds

What if Im telling the truth? Gu Qing Shan still casually asked.

The two Hallmasters stared straight at him.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at Ye Ying Mei, then at Zhao Wu Chui, smiling brightly.

The two Hallmasters werent too sure

With how confident and calm Qi Yan is being, did he really find a new world?

If he did, everything would be different.

Zhao Wu Chui couldnt help but ask Ye Ying Mei: What do you think?

Ye Ying Mei shook her head and slowly questioned: Hallmaster Qi, even if there is a new world, why tell us?

She continued: Up until now, your relationship with the two of us can hardly be considered amiable, let alone close. I dont believe for a single second that youd be willing to tell us something like that

Right, thats exactly right! Zhao Wu Chui followed up.

Gu Qing Shan casually answered: Youre actually right to think that

Were right? Zhao Wu Chui repeated.

When I first discovered that world, I actually didnt want to tell you

these two are Virtualized realm cultivators, not only did they live for over thousands of years and are talented beyond anyone of their peers, having managed the sect for so long, theyve both surpassed humans when it comes to slyness.

To make two such people believe me, Ill have to really act the part.

Thinking that, Gu Qing Shan raised his hand, he lifted the brim of his hat up just high enough to still have an effect.

This revealed his face fully to the two Hallmasters.

A few deep sword slashes had cut deep into his face all the way down to his chin.

The slash curved at little as it got down to his chin.

A few of the slashes actually changed directions when it got near his neck.

From this, it could be seen that Qi Yan barely had dodged out of the way at the very last second.

Otherwise these cuts wouldve taken off his head.

Which means, Qi Yan was almost killed.

The two Hallmasters were stunned.

The large-brimmed hat had an effect to shut out all presence, and since Qi Yan had purposefully been keeping it low, the two Hallmasters only managed to make out the fact that he had a wound on his face, but not enough to see it so clearly.

Now that they had a closer look, they found that Qi Yan almost got done in by someone.

Although he got out with his life, half of Qi Yans face was destroyed.

no wonder hes so insistent on wearing the hat and not revealing his face!

Ye Ying Mei nodded, gesturing her understanding.

Zhao Wu Chui was confused: You were already at Virtualized realm, even if its only early stage, youre still quite strong, how did this

Ye Ying Mei couldnt hold her question back either: Who dared do this to you? Knowing your amiable relationship with Rakshasa Peak

Facing them, Qi Yan showed an expression of hatred and cruelty.

Once again, he pulled the hat down to hide his terrifying wounds.

Did you see it clearly? he asked.

The two Hallmasters nodded.

Ive already answered your question Gu Qing Shan said.

Then he just stood there without saying anything else.

The two Hallmasters couldnt help but think about it.

Qi Yan has always been vain.

Hes even confident enough to court Rakshasas Daughter.

But someone ruined his face.

Qi Yan would definitely not be willing to let such a thing happen.

Which makes things very clear.

From the look of it, that new world of yours isnt easy huh? Zhao Wu Chui tried probing him a bit.

Gu Qing Shan didnt reply to that, instead clear killing intent drifted from his body.

He couldnt help his fingers twitching as he clenched his fists tight.

Observing his minor reactions, Ye Ying Mei muttered: No wonder no wonder I havent seen most of your subordinates, from your own situation, just the people of Zwei Wei Hall were definitely not enough to take over that world

Zhao Wu Chui commented: Against a new world, acting arbitrarily isnt a good idea at all. Qi Yan, youve overestimated yourself

Their words were calm, but their expressions were clearly bright and glad.

Their brows had loosened, even their eyes were a bit more animated.

A new world.

This word meant unimaginable wealth and vast amounts of resources.

This word makes them recall the glorious times that used to be.

Although they havent confirmed this to be true yet, theyre much more willing to immerse themselves in the nostalgia of time passed rather than this world of despair.

How strong are they? Zhao Wu Chui asked.

There was only one of them I couldnt deal with, a Virtualized realm sword cultivator

Hearing that, the two Hallmasters felt assured.

A sword cultivator was excellent at killing and battle, but his cultivation was a bit low, and there was only one of him.

At worse, all three of them can surround and kill him together.

If what youre saying is the truth, Im very willing to go with you Zhao Wu Chui expressed his attitude.

Me as well Ye Ying Mei rubbed her chin as she agreed.

Gu Qing Shan stuck out one finger, holding it up in front of the two of them.

Theres one crucial matter that we have to deal with first right here he said.

What is it?

You must cooperate with me to kill Wang Hong Dao before we do anything

Not waiting for them to react, Gu Qing Shan immediately followed up: Once my father fails his breakthrough, the first person Wang Hong Dao will want to kill is me, so he has to die first

Zhao Wu Chuis expression changed and yelled out: You bastard, you want me to betray my master!

Shut up old Zhao! Gu Qing Shan snapped back at him.

What exactly has Wang Hong Dao given to you all these years? Dont say that he let you be head of Xiong Ji Hall, everything big thats related to Xiong Ji Hall requires his permission. What authority did he actually give you? What benefits did he actually provide!?

Hearing that, Zhao Wu Chuis facial muscles tensed up, as if he was about to explode.

Gu Qing Shan walked forward, pushing down on both of his shoulders and spoke sincerely: Old Zhao, this world is done for, we need to live! You cant keep letting him decide what you do, consider your own life and death first!

Hearing that, Zhao Wu Chui froze on the spot.

Actually, we can also defeat you right here and now and force that worlds coordinates out of you Ye Ying Mei suddenly spoke up.

As she stood up, her fighting spirit was also rising.

Zhao Wu Chui also regained his senses.

Ying Mei sis, you really think I havent considered that possibility? Gu Qing Shan casually asked.

He put one hand up, swearing: I in fact do not know the coordinates of the new world, if there is falsehood in my words, may the lightning of heaven strike me down without hope for reincarnation

An invisible wind gathered around him, not stopping even after a while.

A rumbling could also be heard in the sky, as if thunder was gathering.

Through witness of heaven and earth, the oath was formed.

You dont know the coordinates? Zhao Wu Chui couldnt quite react in time.

Ye Ying Mei also sat back down, lowering her head deeply.

There really is a new world, but I dont personally hold the coordinates to it

Gu Qing Shan slowly but calmly said.

But, Ive rigged it so that as soon as something happens to me, the new worlds coordinates will immediately be destroyed

And when that happen, everyone can die together, only Wang Hong Dao can use the rest of the sects resources to keep on living for a few days

If you want things to end that way, feel free to attack me right now

Ye Ying Mei retracted all of her killing intent, not even leaving a speck of it.

She looked up at Gu Qing Shan in annoyance.

Qi Yan, youre too sly she sighed dejectedly.

Gu Qing Shan then changed his expression to express his sincerity.

Ying Mei sis, I have something to ask you personally, hope that you wont hold it against me

Speak

Remember that year, you shouldve became the Dao companion of a direct disciple of another sect, but at the end, Wang Hong Dao appeared and firmly rejected your marriage

I dont know about the details of what happened then, only that the direct disciple mysteriously disappeared without a trace

Gu Qing Shan was observing Ye Ying Meis expression as he spoke.

Ye Ying Meis gaze was fixed at a certain place in midair, unmoving.

She was pursing her lips tight, as if tasting some sort of bitterness.

Gu Qing Shan muttered in a low voice: Its been so many years, do you not hold a grudge?

Ye Ying Mei turned away.

She placed one hand on her chest, not saying another word.

Zhao Wu Chui spoke in a low voice: Qi Yan, you rat bastard, I cant believe anything you say right now, and I dont believe that there really is a new world

Old Zhao, theres no need to probe me, this is a very crucial matter that will directly affect our survival

To show my sincerity, Ill prove this right now Gu Qing Shan spoke.

Both Hallmasters looked straight at him.

The look in their eyes contained desire and desperation, like a drowning person trying their best to clutch at anything they could.

Seeing their expressions, Gu Qing Shan had a few different thoughts.

Wait a bit

Saying so, Gu Qing Shan stepped off the platform and told Qing Rou who was waiting outside the formation: Go and find Wu San

Yes answering him, Qing Rou left.

A few moments later, Wu San appeared in front of the three Hallmasters.

The first thing he did was to kneel down and bowed to Gu Qing Shan with his head to the ground.

Young master, what use do you have of his humble servant?

Wu San was smiling flatteringly, but his eyes couldnt hide the fear he held.

The three Hallmasters were staring at him without saying a word.

Wu San has never faced such a situation before.

Gu Qing Shan gestured to the two Virtualized realm cultivators.

You might not believe anything I say, but both of you should know that its impossible to tamper with a persons soul vessel, otherwise there would be a problem with their mind

The Hallmasters nodded.

A soul vessel that has been tampered with couldnt possibly escape their eyes.

Wu Sans eyes were focused and his soul vessel was calm, obviously a very normal cultivator.

Gu Qing Shan told them: This is my closest aide whos done a lot of things for me, you can find the memories regarding the new world from him

Memories come from the soul vessel itself- I wont be able to tamper with that or lie to you

Take a look for yourselves

Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui exchanged glances.

Should I confirm it first?

Zhao Wu Chui already couldnt wait anymore and spoke up first.

Go ahead Ye Ying Mei agreed.

Zhao Wu Chuis body disappeared from where he stood.

Without any movements at all, Wu San was already knocked unconscious.

Zhao Wu Chui then grabbed Wu Sans head with his bare hands.

The simplest way to look into a persons memories was using Soul Reading.

Zhao Wu Chui closed his eyes and went into a silent contemplation.

Silence across the entire platform.

Despite normally being very calm, Ye Ying Mei couldnt hold herself back anymore.

She asked: Old Zhao, is it real or not?

She looked at Zhao Wu Chui, then at Gu Qing Shan.

Zhao Wu Chui said nothing, still looking into Wu Sans memories.

Gu Qing Shan stood on one side, completely calm.

-the reason why he was so calm was because everything up to now has been exactly as he planned.

Back in Shen Wu world, he used Soul Reading on cultivators from Guang Yang sect and found out Wu Sans existence.

Also at that time, the System gave out the Special Quest [Wu San must die]

Wu San was the only living person left that knows about the existence of the cultivation world and Shen Wu world.

Wu San didnt come to Shen Wu world, so he doesnt know any of Qi Yans other subordinates, and definitely not what Qi Yan himself went through.

He doesnt know that Shen Wu world has nothing but weapon spirits left, or the fact that the strongest cultivator in that world was only Sainted realm.

Bai Hua Fairy didnt even breakthrough to Projection realm until just before Qi Yans last trip to Shen Wu world.

Gu Qing Shan told the two Hallmasters that he couldnt deal with that world alone and he needed their help.

Wu Sans memories perfectly excluded his lies.

This was the best part.

Thanks to Wu San, he could prove that the new world exists, but doesnt prove anything regarding how strong it was.

Time slowly passed.

At a certain point, Zhao Wu Chuis expression loosened.

He already couldnt stop himself from smiling.

Zhao Wu Chui opened his eyes, incredibly excited and spoke: Its true! Its really true! And not just

Before he could go on, Ye Ying Mei had already gone forward, pushed his hand away and placed her hand onto Wu Sans head.

After a while more, she muttered: Two worlds two completely new worlds

Her body was brimming with new life force.

Taking the opportunity, Gu Qing Shan spoke up: Ying Mei sis, old Zhao, what do you think now?

Both Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui nodded.

The existence of the new world was now confirmed without a doubt.

Gu Qing Shan then came over and carried Wu San up.

This subordinate of mine already did his best, I think its time for him to rest

Saying so, he lightly turned his hand.

Craaack!

Wu Sans neck was twisted at a weird angle.

Gu Qing Shan then casually tossed him out.

Wu Sans body was thrown out of the platform and rolled down to the ground, no longer breathing.

The two Hallmasters were stunned at first.

But then they quickly understood.

Are there any other people in the sect that know about this? Zhao Wu Chui asked.

There arent, all my men are currently in the new world, he was the only one who remained Gu Qing Shan told them.

Ye Ying Mei commented: Thats right, anything that has to do with a new world is too important to let anyone else know

Of course

Gu Qing Shans expression was cold, but he agreed with her: Wang Hong Dao is a Cryptic realm old fox, when he returns, hell definitely find out about Wu San being called here by himself with some method we dont know about

Wang Hong Dao has always been a distrusting person, so he will probably want to find out what Wu San spoke with the three of us alone for

If Wu San was left alive, we wont be able to hide the existence of the new world

Hearing that, the two Hallmasters also nodded.

Thats right, we definitely cannot let Wang Hong Dao know about this Zhao Wu Chui agreed.

When it comes to secrecy, Qi Yan was undisputedly the best of them.

But he didnt know that Gu Qing Shan had managed to confirm something from his comment.

The only regret is doing this cost you a close aide Ye Ying Mei looked at Qi Yan and spoke regretfully.

But Qi Yans face was completely void of expression.

Its nothing, Ying Mei sis. Wu Sans life did its job exactly as it was supposed to

He probably died with no regrets

Gu Qing Shan indifferently said.

His tone suggested that he was saying something that couldnt be anymore obvious.

Both Ye Ying Mei and Zhao Wu Chui went silent.

To a merciless and cold person like Qi Yan, that was indeed his best choice of action.

If Qi Yan couldnt keep this a secret, no one can.

Thinking about it a bit more, if Qi Yan was able to deal with those two new worlds by himself, he definitely wouldnt have looked for help.

As they thought that, the two Hallmasters silently actually felt a bit lucky.

Then Qi Yan spoke up again.

Ying Mei sis, old Zhao, now you shouldve seen my sincerity

The two Hallmasters nodded.

The new world exists without a doubt.

To keep the secret of the new world, Qi Yan even killed one of his own subordinates.

His show of sincerity was clearly enough.

Now, please cooperate with me to kill Wang Hong Dao, this will be to guarantee that Ill live

and also your last chance at survival
