Chapter 265 - 265: Let Me Explain Gu Shaoxuan’s Appearance to You (2)
“That’s true.”
Liang Shixian nodded and started the introductions. The villagers were surprised and started discussing.
Ji Ruo led a group of people out of the village.
Jing Lan flapped her wings, and a strong wind blew. The bird instantly appeared outside the village.
In order to not cause too much damage to the residences, the Sacred Mountain Tree erected its roots as if it was tiptoeing forward.
The hard roots dug deep holes in the ground.
As they walked, Ji Ruo couldn’t help but look up at the silver sword light in the sky. Feeling the shocking sword essence coming from it, Ji Ruo asked,”Uncle Gu, what is that? Why did he keep circling in the sky and not come down?”
“He’s just a showy swordsman. He probably thinks that we’ve stolen his limelight and wants to wait for a while before coming down…Don’t worry about him, let’s go out first.”
“Alright then…” Ji Ruo looked at the silver sword light again. Even with the [Saber and Sword Duality] buff and his Sword Comprehension had been maxed out, Ji Ruo still felt that the sword intent displayed by the other party was a little profound.
Ji Ruo whispered.
“What did you say?” Gu Xing Zhou asked curiously.
“It’s nothing.” Ji Ruo casually changed the topic and asked, “By the way, Uncle Gu, you said that you seem to have a relationship with Gu Shaoxuan. What do
you mean?”
Gu Xing Zhou said,” When I first heard this name, I felt that it sounded familiar. After reporting the news, I asked my family to investigate and found out that Gu Shaoxuan was a nephew of a distant relative of mine. His family did indeed run a funeral shop. He became a garrison martial artist twenty-six years ago and worked for about a year. When he died, he had just passed his twenty-eighth birthday…”
“He is actually your nephew…” Ji Ruo was shocked at first, but after he reacted, he was even more shocked.”Twenty-eight years old when he died? Or was it 25 years ago?”
The lifespan of martial artists was quite long. Of course, it was not as long as the immortal cultivators that Ji Ruo knew.
A normal Martial Apprentice, without any bad habits or incurable diseases, would have a lifespan of about 120 years. Qi Meridian Realm martial artist, 160 years old.
Star Jade Realm, 200 years old.
If the ‘distant nephew’ Gu Shaoxuan mentioned by Gu Xing Zhou was still alive, he should be close to sixty years old. Although this age was not considered middle-aged for a Star Jade Realm martial artist, he should still be more mature.
Moreover, if what the Gu Shaoxuan Ji Ruo knew was true, he had been traveling alone outside the country for more than ten years. The environment outside the country was so dangerous and there were demons everywhere. He definitely could not take good care of his skin.
How young could a person who was close to sixty years old look after being exposed to the elements and living in fear for more than ten years?
However, Gu Shaoxuan was not much different from Ji Ruo in terms of appearance. He was also young and had delicate skin!
“Yes, that’s why I find it strange.”Gu Xing Zhou said,” It just so happens that the Myriad Beast Mountain is on the right track and doesn’t really need me anymore, so I came over. Shenmu and the others heard that I was coming to look for you, so they followed me…” Tell me, what does the Gu Shaoxuan you know look like?”
Ji Ruo thought about it carefully and described,” He has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth…”
Underground.
Gu Shaoxuan took a deep breath. His long-cherished wish was finally about to come true. He was a little excited.
However, it was still too early to be excited. After traveling alone for more than ten years, the most important thing he had learned was that accidents could happen at any time before a conclusion was made.
“Contact those yaomo and tell them to seize the opportunity.’”‘ Wait a moment,” Gu Shaoxuan said calmly.” I’ll go out and attract the attention of the martial artists stationed here. You can let your descendants take the opportunity to steal the holy statues. They’re not tainted with human blood, so the holy statues won’t be activated…’
“Alright, I’ll listen to you, sir…” The ant queen trembled as she spoke. At Gu Shaoxuan’s request, she had been using her mental power to hide her whereabouts along the way.
Although Gu Shaoxuan was very sure that the warriors in the Eight Treasures Stronghold could not find this underground passage, it was better to be careful.
“Okay, you go ahead and inform them.”
As Gu Shaoxuan spoke, he closed his eyes to rest.”l’ll give you five minutes to inform everyone. Those demons would not refuse to bathe in the vast evolutionary energy released when the mystic realm descended.”
“Sir, you’re right…”
The ant queen began to use her huge spiritual power to inform the demons around the Eight Treasures Stronghold.
Suddenly-
“You’re actually still alive!”
The white cat’s head poked out from the top of the tunnel. When he saw that Gu Shaoxuan was actually here, he turned pale with fright.
“Bad guy, I’m going to tell Master!”
Although Gu Shaoxuan was a little surprised that he had been exposed so quickly, he still sneered and said,”You’re already here, and you still want to leave? Aren’t you looking down on me too much! Stay! Let’s witness the fall of the Eight Treasures Stronghold together!”
As he spoke, Gu Shaoxuan raised his hand and grabbed at the white cat. The martial arts golden body condensed into a huge black-gold claw. The pure martial will made it look like a real hand of the Netherworld that captured souls.. No soul could resist Gu Shaoxuan’s capture!
