Chapter 1422: Gather

In the cave.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the hare and the deer, then at the two tigresses, looking a bit hesitant on what to do.

Gyao—– (eat)

Ooo Ooo—- (don’t stay hungry, you need strength)

The two tigresses both growled.

Gu Qing Shan faced their gazes, completely speechless.

Indeed, a wild hare can be used to make braised rabbit, steamed whole rabbit, rabbit skewers, spicy rabbit soup, vegetable rabbit soup, ginger-infused rabbit broth, herbal rabbit soup, even the head has its own uses; while there are even more ways to cook the deer—— since it is a male buck.

But this isn’t the time to be thinking about those things!

The things I should be concerned about is how to take the second Sealing Token while staying hidden from the wraiths.

I didn’t think the two tigresses would return while I was wracking my brain over this.

Suddenly, another figure appeared outside the cave.

Roar!

The two tigresses uttered a threatening grumble.

A burly male White Frost Blade Tiger slowly trudged into the cave.

It was bigger than Gu Qing Shan, bulkier than Gu Qing Shan, and seemed more ferocious than Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan naturally acted like he was cautious, s.h.i.+elding the two tigresses and the quarry behind him while growling threateningly.

The male tiger on the other side moved its eyes around, observing the interior of the cave.

This place is quite nice.

A large cave.

There are two tigresses and even food.

As long as I can chase this hateful guy away, this place will become mine.

The male tiger’s gaze then locked on Gu Qing Shan as it uttered a series of low roars in return.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t pay much attention to it.

He felt as if this scene in front of him was informing him that he had forgotten something.

Gu Qing Shan stared closely at the male tiger.

——how did this guy reach this place?

Did it slowly follow the two tigresses here?

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

A thought flashed through Gu Qing Shan’s mind.

Wait!

I was so reliant on inner sight that I forgot just how powerful my opponent was.

Reneedol’s presence might have disappeared, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she had actually left this world!

If she truly wanted to leave, she would only need to give out the order and take a large number of people with her.

But she made a worldwide announcement as if she was afraid that someone wouldn’t be able to hear her.

She purposely made that announcement to distract me.

Unless I’m wrong, she must be hiding in the shadows, silently acc.u.mulating her strength for the moment when the Sealing Token is excavated.

This time, she would not freeze up.

She would definitely do everything in her power to restrain me!

Gu Qing Shan’s back was soaked in a thin layer of cold sweat.

Seeing him turning blank, the opposing male tiger took the opportunity and pounced on him without hesitation!

Gu Qing Shan wrestled against that tiger.

He wasn’t too concerned about it, he was simply keeping up his act while pondering over his countermeasures.

This entire world has been surrounded by the wraiths.

And Reneedol might be hiding in the shadows.

How should I resolve such circ.u.mstances?

If I were her…

Oh no.

The other tiger abruptly leapt onto Gu Qing Shan’s back and began biting him.

While Gu Qing Shan was in the middle of thinking, he got tired of being bothered, so with a slight shake of his head, he wrestled the tiger on his back to the ground, then bit at it in retaliation.

That male tiger was so badly hurt that it jumped and hurriedly fled outside the entrance of the cave.

I was wrong!

This enemy is too cruel, he was completely unfazed no matter how I attacked him as if he didn’t care about being bitten or scratched.

The male tiger fled without hesitation.

Gu Qing Shan sat still, using his tongue to lick the blood from his claws.

Seeing how impressive he was, the two tigresses both approached him and cautiously sat next to him with a gaze of respect and intimacy.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t have time to care about them, so he took the time he was licking the blood to activate the Fate ability: [Longing].

“Hurry, Fei Yue, hurry and establish contact with me!”

He silently muttered.

A black thread silently manifested, wrapped around his tiger claws, then quickly extended into the void of s.p.a.ce.

Gu Qing Shan anxiously waited.

Currently, Reneedol is hiding somewhere in this world, silently waiting for the Sealing Token to appear.

But this does not mean that she is a patient individual.

If the Sealing Token does not appear even after a while, she would surely go to find Fei Yue for her matured Fate ability.

Only Fei Yue’s Fate ability would be able to locate the Sealing Tokens.

Reneedol would surely force Fei Yue to immediately get married and take her Fate ability for her own sake.

With that in mind, Gu Qing Shan shouted once again: “Fei Yue, the situation is very urgent, quickly contact me!”

The black thread on his claw violently pierced into the void of s.p.a.ce.

The other end disappeared.

At the very next moment.

Another black thread descended from the sky that connected to Gu Qing Shan’s thread.

A doubtful voice spoke:

“Gu Qing Shan, why were you in so much of a hurry to find me?”

Fei Yue!

Gu Qing Shan silently exhaled in relief.

“What’s the current situation on your side?” he asked.

“Just now, the three Wraith Lords came to force my marriage, but something abrupt occurred so they went away” Fei Yue replied.

Gu Qing Shan silently thought about that.

The Wraith realm had mobilized a large amount of manpower here in search of the Sealing Tokens—–

“Fei Yue, do you have any way to form a two-way warp formation on your side and mine?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“After our previous conversation, I used the power of the Threads of Fate to acc.u.mulate everyone’s power and create a two-way warp formation, but the only issue is that the Causality Law barrier only allows entry and not exit” Fei Yue answered

“Only allow entry and not exit? There’s no need to worry about exiting, for now, I just need you to immediately transport me to your location!” Gu Qing Shan said.

Fei Yue sharply asked; “What happened?”

“There’s no time to explain, hurry! Transport me over!” Gu Qing Shan replied.

Knowing that Gu Qing Shan wouldn’t joke or act when it came to this matter, Fei Yue instantly replied: “Wait for a moment, I need to cooperate with miss blind nun to do this”

Gu Qing Shan asked: “How long?”

Fei Yue replied: “Ten minutes”

Gu Qing Shan quickly shouted: “Too slow, I need you to first send me over there, the reverse warp can be left for later!”

Feeling her heart turning heavy, Fei Yue said: “Maintain that Fate technique, we’ll immediately bring you to us after five breaths’ worth of time”

“Got it” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He was temporarily a.s.sured.

Five breaths of time would be more than enough for me to resolve everything that I need to do.

Gu Qing Shan turned towards the two female White Frost Blade Tigers.

The two tigresses were lying in front of him, lowering their heads while growling gently, almost as if they were flattering him.

Gu Qing Shan tapped both of their heads with his paw.

The two tigresses became stunned.

Countless unheard-of knowledge had suddenly appeared in their minds.

——-there were some beast cultivation methods among the knowledge he received from the cultivation worlds of the past, which were suitable for these two tigresses.

They have hunted for me, so I’ll repay them with cultivation knowledge.

Not to mention, this world is under the protection of the Water G.o.d, so it should be easy for anyone to begin cultivation.

After finis.h.i.+ng that, Gu Qing Shan put the hare and deer into his Inventory Bag.

Both of them were fresh wild game, so it would be easy for him to make great dishes out of them after a bit of preparation.

After this war was over, they would both become precious cooking ingredients to be enjoyed.

A second later

The black thread on Gu Qing Shan’s claw abruptly grew bigger with various runes clearly flowing along the surface.

And with a flash of light, he disappeared.

It wasn’t until a while after he had left that the two tigresses slowly regained their senses.

Seeing their dignified mate no longer here, they both lowered themselves to the ground and began moaning sorrowfully.

…

The outermost layer of the Wraith realm.

A tiger was being quickly transported towards this world when he swiftly returned to human form.

Gu Qing Shan.

He took out the Six Paths Great Mountain sword and held it up in front of himself.

A few moments later.

As if it had touched something, the Six Paths Great Mountain sword cut open a gap.

Gu Qing Shan went through the gap and vanished.

As he entered the Wraith realm, the gap swiftly closed behind him.

The palace.

Gu Qing Shan suddenly appeared.

Everyone was here.

“What exactly is going on?” Xiao Die asked.

Right as Gu Qing Shan was about to talk, a female voice resounded from outside the palace:

“Men, disengage all of our Causality Law barriers”

“Fei Yue, I have something to tell you right at this moment!”

Everyone was shocked and quickly drew their weapons.

Fei Yue deeply sighed: “So it was already time for us to lay it all down and fight”

“Don’t!”

Gu Qing Shan quickly explained: “That is the Grand Empress of the Pantheon——– none of us would be a match for her. In fact, these Causality Law barriers were only established by her subordinates”

Before everyone could digest his words, Gu Qing Shan had already a.s.sumed his Archfiend appearance and hid among everyone else, continuing: “Fei Yue, agree with her to buy us some time; Crow, how exactly did you disguise as Fei Yue? If you’re merely crossdressing, you no longer need to do that, she would definitely be able to see through it”

Everyone here was a top-tier Combatant of the Void, having been through countless struggles in their lives, so they immediately understood the gravity of the situation right as Gu Qing Shan explained it.

Everyone put their weapons away together with their killing intent.

Fei Yue raised her voice: “Who is outside? Why are you demanding to see me without even announcing your name?”

Crow quickly explained to Gu Qing Shan: “It isn’t crossdressing, but one of Fei Yue’s Fate techniques. I would temporarily take on her fate, making everyone a.s.sume that I’m actually her”

A Fate technique.

Who could guarantee that Reneedol wouldn’t be able to see through a Fate technique?

Gu Qing Shan suddenly had second thoughts.

Perhaps, we should use this chance to probe and see if Reneedol could actually see through a Fate technique?

If she couldn’t, that would be extremely great.

Crow suddenly continued: “If that woman was truly the legendary Grand Empress of the Pantheon, then the Fate technique I’m carrying would definitely not be able to deceive her”

Gu Qing Shan’s expression changed.

Crow’s ability had just activated!

Crow also realized that what he said was bad, so he hurriedly continued: “But I would still have a way to distract her”

As soon as he finished talking, all the light barriers around the palace disappeared.

A woman clad in starlight appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.

Reneedol had directly shown herself.

Everyone present couldn’t help but take a step backwards.

「 This sensation, truly… 」the Ominous Demon Tower’s master blankly muttered.

——truly a despairingly vast amount of power.

Simply by looking at her, anyone could tell that her power was insurmountable, which made it impossible for them to even mount the thought of resisting her.

Reneedol ignored Crow and looked straight at Fei Yue:

“I currently have no time to be playing along with your little tricks”

“Fei Yue, you need to immediately swear your allegiance to me, or to immediately get married”

Everyone stayed completely silent, still shaken by her power.

Fei Yue smiled bitterly, shaking her head: “So all this time, I’ve been trying to struggle against an existence like yourself”

She appeared both dejected and sorrowful.

This att.i.tude made Reneedol smile just a little bit.

“I’ve always been very busy, and since you were still young, I’ve had no mind to pay attention towards your matter”

“But things are now different, Fei Yue, I need you right now”

Reneedol coldly said.
