Chapter 99 Leaving
Chapter 99 Leaving
Gu Chi did not argue with Su Mo for too long. After saying this, he took the big black dog and disappeared from sight through the teleportation array.
"Your Highness the Ninth Princess! Are you okay?"
The many Jiuli masters who had received orders and were waiting outside Yingli City all gathered around at this time, and even the Jiuli Emperor came in person.
He took action to remove the seal on Su Mo's body, and then used the power of his spiritual sense to carefully investigate again. Only after confirming that Su Mo had not suffered any harm did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, father, for causing you trouble." Su Mo lowered his head, ready to be scolded.
The Emperor of Jiuli glared at her unhappily and said, "You still want to cause trouble for me? Wait till you return and see how I'll deal with you!"
He grabbed Su Mo's hand, stepped into the void, and disappeared on the spot.
……
The next day, in a small town on the border of Qian Kingdom, Gu Chi took out the Heaven-Swallowing Bag and released all the bodies of the Qian Kingdom monks who died in the battle at the border, allowing people from various forces to come and claim them.
In less than a day, this incident caused quite a stir in Qian Country, and everyone was talking about it.
"This is incredible! Two young men dared to charge into the heart of the enemy country and retrieve the bodies of our Qian country's dead. This, this, this... this is too fierce, right?"
"By the way, who are those two young men? Which sect, which family are they from?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard that those two are only cultivators in the Qi training stage, and they have only reached the tenth level of Qi training and haven't established their foundation yet!"
In a busy restaurant, monks from various forces were discussing the deeds of Gu Chi and his companions, and were very curious about their backgrounds.
When they heard that they were only at the tenth level of Qi training, everyone was dumbfounded, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The people who dared to run to the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty and directly challenge their emperor were actually just two young cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage who hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage?
This is too unrealistic. Even elders like them dare not guarantee that they can walk back and forth in the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty, but two young cultivators in the Qi training stage did it.
"The young are really to be feared!" someone sighed.
"I'm genuinely curious about what exactly happened in the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty. What weakness did those two young men find in the Jiuli Emperor that forced him to compromise?"
No one knows how Gu Chi and his team managed to get the Emperor of Jiuli to compromise and agree to return the bodies of the Qian Kingdom cultivators. No one knows the details of the whole incident, so all kinds of speculations arise.
Some people said that they were actually two reclusive ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage. They felt that the Jiuli Dynasty's practice of refining the corpses of the Qian Kingdom's cultivators into zombie puppets was against the harmony of nature, so they personally went to the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty, grabbed the emperor's neck, and forced him to release the people in a domineering manner.
Some people also said that the two of them were of great background. After they revealed their family background, even the Emperor of Jiuli was wary of them and did not dare to offend them. In the end, he had to choose to return the body of the cultivator from Qian State.
Various theories emerged one after another, and in the end, both Gu Chi and the big black dog were rumored to be the illegitimate sons of the Jiuli Emperor, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.
As for the person involved and the dog involved, they had already returned to Heming Sect.
The back mountain of Heming Sect, a quiet place with green mountains and clear water, now has row after row of newly dug graves. In front of each grave is a tombstone, engraved with the name of the deceased during his lifetime, as well as the words left by the engraver such as "Undertaker who sells coffins".
Liu Qingyun burst into tears in front of a tombstone engraved with "Liu Tonghe".
Liu Tonghe, the previous leader of Xuanwu Hall, had no wife or children, only an adopted daughter, Liu Qingyun.
All the people from the Heming Sect came, holding paper money and yellow paper, and scattered them on every grave.
On the other side, Gu Chi was playing the suona with all his might, while Lao Hei was playing the cymbals to accompany him.
When everything was over, Gu Chi and Big Black Dog came to the sect's main hall to see how Du Yu and the others were recovering from their injuries.
They were badly injured, not just the injuries visible to the naked eye, but even their original Taoist foundations were severely damaged. These were irreparable injuries, and no amount of panaceas would help.
"It's okay. After you recover, you should have no problem living another one or two hundred years." Du Yu gave them a wry smile.
"How did it become like this?" Gu Chi was quite distressed. He sat down on the spot and said, "Is there no other way?"
"It is said that the King of Medicine with a history of more than ten thousand years can repair Taoist injuries, but such a rare treasure of heaven and earth is not so easy to find." Le Huaxin shook his head.
She was not injured in the battlefield, and her physical injuries have almost recovered. During the time when Gu Chi was not in Heming Sect, she helped Liu Qingyun deal with various affairs of the sect.
During this period of time, she often went to the Sutra Library and saw a record in an ancient book that said the injury to the Dao was not irreparable. As long as one could find a medicine king with a medicine age of more than ten thousand years, there would be a chance to repair the injury.
However, this kind of rare treasure of heaven and earth is difficult to find even for the ten major immortal sects, let alone them.
"We will pay more attention to it in the future. Maybe one day we will get lucky and find it." Gu Chi stood up from the ground.
Le Huaxin was stunned for a moment and said, "Junior Sister Gu, are you guys... leaving again?"
Gu Chi nodded and said, "The Jiuli Dynasty is determined to destroy our Qian Kingdom. It won't be long before they will declare war on our Qian Kingdom again. Lao Hei and I plan to go out and gain some experience to improve our strength as soon as possible."
Le Huaxin said, "You are now the acting sect leader. You can use all the cultivation resources in the sect. There is no need to go down the mountain to gain experience."
Gu Chi smiled and said, "Back when Sect Master Yangshan was still around, he was already criticized for his resource allocation issues. If I were to treat the sect's resource treasury as my own and use it however I want, I would be criticized to death. Senior Sister Hua Xin, please don't harm me."
"This..." Le Huaxin scratched her head. She had not considered this point carefully.
"If the Jiuli Dynasty goes to war with the Qian Kingdom again in the future, Senior Sister Liu may join the war for revenge. She is kind by nature and may not be able to adapt to the cruel rules of the battlefield, and her Tao heart may be damaged. You must keep a close eye on her." Gu Chi instructed.
Le Huaxin accompanied them all the way to the mountain gate. When they were about to part, she said for no apparent reason, "Junior Sister Gu, Junior Brother Gou, people like you must be living a very tiring life, right?"
Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Whether you feel tired or not depends mainly on your mentality. At least Lao Hei and I feel okay now."
Le Huaxin nodded slightly, gave Gu Chi and the big black dog a hug, smiled gently, and said, "Let nature take its course. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
