Chapter 416 - 416 The Abnormal Floating Jade Island Master
416 The Abnormal Floating Jade Island Master
Just now, although Xu Fengyu had regained his usual overbearing manner and even released that terrifying pressure,
But he didn’t make a move from beginning to end.
This was completely different from when Gu Mingzhou first met Xu Fengyu.
According to Xu Fengyu’s temper, he would not allow Zhao Gao to bargain!
In the end, not only did he answer Zhao Gao’s question, he even chose to answer Zhao Gao’s question. He didn’t even take action when Zhao Gao openly asked about his privacy.
His impression of Xu Fengyu, who was extremely arrogant, lawless, and unbridled, seemed to be very different.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Gu Mingzhou was familiar with the terrifying pressure, he even felt that Xu Fengyu was a fake person.
After explaining the feeling of comparison, he could not help but question what was going on.
“The reason why I had my suspicions was that the story you told me about the World God was completely different.” Zhao Gao said.
“Could it be that the Xu Fengyu I saw was a fake?” Gu Mingzhou asked in surprise.
Xu Fengyu has reached the peak, but he won’t lower his status and show weakness to us. I guess this World God’s strength has weakened! Zhao Gao continued.
“How is it possible for Xu Fengyu to become weak?” Zhen Gang didn’t quite believe it. That was the world cultivation lineage.
“Nothing is impossible. Once a cultivator’s realm rose, it was indeed very difficult to fall back. However, what if it wasn’t a drop in his cultivation level, but some other reason that caused his strength to drop?” Zhao Gao said. “For example, getting injured!”
Gu Mingzhou and Zhen Gang were shocked, and Xu Fengyu’s withered right arm subconsciously appeared in their minds.
“Just as you all think, Xu Fengyu’s right arm is the proof of his injury.” Zhao Gao seemed to have seen through Gu Mingzhou and Zhen Gang’s thoughts and said calmly.
Gu Mingzhou was in disbelief.
It was indeed incredible. Who could seriously injure an existence like Xu Fengyu? Could it be He Chuan?
However, if He Chuan was the one who made the move, no matter who won or lost, someone from both sides would die. Moreover, the two of them had probably not met in their previous conversation.
“I’m guessing that Xu Fengyu has other plans, and that secret of his is also the cause of his body drying up.” Zhao Gao concluded.
Gu Mingzhou and Zhen Gang didn’t expect that their short conversation with Xu Fengyu would cause Zhao Gao to think about it carefully.
“Since it’s to gain trust, we should choose to cooperate directly. Why declare war on the Zhou Dynasty?” Zhen Gang paused and asked the question he had at the beginning.
“If we simply agree, I’m afraid he will have some scruples and distrust us. After all, we can form an alliance with the Zhou Dynasty after this. If we declare war on the Zhou Dynasty, Xu Fengyu will definitely believe us completely.” Zhao Gao said.
“This is indeed doable, but have you ever thought if we declare war on the Zhou Dynasty, we will definitely not be able to form an alliance? Then, in the end, we will know Xu Fengyu’s true plan, and it will be difficult for us to stop it with our strength.” Gu Mingzhou said.
“I’ve already considered this point. So, Brother Gu, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you for the next step.” Zhao Gao nodded and said.
“Please speak, Sect Master Zhao.” Gu Mingzhou said.
“Go and invite rogue cultivator Floating Jade into the city first. We’ll discuss the merger and the founding of a country, then we’ll talk about that.” In the face of Gu Mingzhou’s question, Zhao Gao suddenly changed his tune and kept him in suspense.
Gu Mingzhou looked at Zhao Gao’s smiling face and could only nod in agreement.
“Sect Master, do you have other plans?” After Gu Mingzhou’s back view had completely disappeared, Zhen Gang turned to look at Zhao Gao, cupped his hands, and said.
“Why do you ask?” Zhao Gao looked at Zhen Gang and asked.
“The Sect Master today gives me a very different feeling than before.” Zhen Gang said honestly.
“The most terrifying people are always the people around you. the Murong clan has too many secrets. Compared to Xu Fengyu, who is out in the open, they are more terrifying.” Zhao Gao’s pale face suddenly turned gloomy.
Gu Mingzhou, who came out of the secret room, didn’t stop at all. He left the branch and flew into the air without hesitation. He flew at full speed towards the mountains outside of Handan City.
Floating Jade Island Master led a hundred thousand rogue Jade cultivators across the Chang Bai mountains and arrived in the state of Zhao on the second day after Zhao Gao fell unconscious.
However, because Zhao Gao had not woken up, Gu Mingzhou did not bring the hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators into Handan City. Instead, he had them stationed at the foot of the Chang Bai mountain range within the borders of Zhao.
Gu Mingzhou’s speed was very fast. He covered the distance of hundreds of miles in a few breaths.
At this moment, the hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators had already set up camp at the foot of the Changbai mountain range. Two days had allowed them to walk out of their grief. They were still in low spirits, but their morale was no longer low.
They were holding a sacrifice to pay tribute to their deceased compatriots and to commemorate their loved ones.
Gu Mingzhou did not interrupt their ceremony. Instead, he quietly bypassed the ceremony and came to the temporary tent where the Floating Jade Island Master was resting.
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island did not host the ceremony too much. After opening the ceremony, he retreated behind the curtain and lay down in his tent to drink tea alone.
He had obviously noticed Gu Mingzhou’s arrival. The Island Master of Floating Jade Island was pouring tea for the teacup opposite him. Gu Mingzhou could not help but be stunned.
For a moment, Gu Mingzhou suddenly felt he did not understand Floating Jade Island Master at all.
He was a powerful cultivator who had been able to control Floating Jade Island for hundreds of years. He was a high-level demonic cultivator who was a divine beast, Kun Peng.
In order to stop Xu Fengyu, he resolutely traveled thousands of miles to the Tianyuan Continent, which he had a grudge against, to support the Island Master in the Zhou Dynasty.
While everyone was reminiscing about their old friends in pain and sorrow, he could lie on his bed alone and drink tea leisurely.
The various images of Floating Jade Island Master appeared in Gu Mingzhou’s mind one after another, causing him to involuntarily stop in his tracks as he stepped into the tent.
“Brother Gu, you’ve worked hard. Have some tea to warm your body. The Island Master of Floating Jade Island saw Gu Mingzhou stop, but he didn’t think much about it. He reached out and pushed the teacup full of tea to the opposite side.
“I’m here to bring Floating Jade Island’s rogue cultivators to Handan City.” Gu Mingzhou suppressed the doubts in his heart and said directly.
“Let’s have a cup of tea and talk slowly.” Floating Jade Island Master said with a smile on his face. He had no intention of being nervous as he reached out to touch the teacup again.
“Not in a hurry?” Gu Mingzhou was a little puzzled. He walked to the side of the Island Master of Floating Jade Island and sat down on the bed.
“There’s no hurry. I have something to tell you.” Floating Jade Island Master said calmly.
Even though he had already made it clear that he would not drink, Floating Jade Island Master still refused. This made Gu Mingzhou’s suspicions, which he had just suppressed, rise again.
“It seems like Floating Jade Island Master has prepared tea.” Gu Mingzhou no longer urged him. He immediately reached out and lifted the teacup, put it to his nose, and sniffed it slightly. He sighed.
Gu Mingzhou didn’t say anything and put the teacup down.
This was tea with added medicine.
Although he didn’t know if it was poison or something else, he could vaguely sense the problem, so he directly exposed it.
“Fellow Daoist Gu really lives up to his reputation. You’re extremely cautious!” Before he could finish his words, a meaningful expression appeared on the face of the Floating Jade Island Master.
