Chapter 1021: Let's Give Her a Helping Hand
Gu Heng did not intentionally want to wade into troubled waters and avoid traveling.
As long as it can be confirmed that the ship does not belong to Pu Yunyuan, that's fine. After all, it was just a chance encounter. If they encounter any trouble, he can reluctantly offer a little help.
Apart from that, there won't be any more trouble.
When he encountered the overwhelming, raging tide of beasts, a kind of obsessive conspiracy theory took shape in his mind, making him feel that the reason the tide of beasts came was because of him!
Although the Eternal Beast is a common natural disaster, it doesn't target anyone specifically, but indiscriminately ravages and destroys everyone...
But who can really say for sure?
But as he watched the ship approach the wreckage, a vague sense of unease immediately arose in Gu Heng's mind. Was he, perhaps, falling into some kind of mental inertia again?
wrong!
If you want to avoid getting involved in more trouble, shouldn't the best thing to do is to completely stay away from anything that has nothing to do with you?
Focus on getting there first and seeing the little girl at the Jade Emperor's Palace, instead of sticking your finger around every strange thing you see!
this is not good!
His subconscious urge to move closer might have made him more likely to get involved in some unexpected situation and become increasingly entangled.
Gu Heng didn't even bother to think about what would happen in the end.
The outcome will certainly be both good and bad.
But that's not what I'm after!
"It's that Inspector Pu's ship."
Just as Gu Heng was having second thoughts and was about to leave, Xiao Bai suddenly said, "The smell is exactly the same."
"Yes, I can smell it too."
Yuezi echoed her sentiments, the two dragons singing in unison with great seriousness. Gu Heng truly had no idea that dragons could have such a keen sense of smell.
"Inspector Pu?"
Su Jinxi raised an eyebrow and glanced silently at Gu Heng.
Gu Heng could only casually recount their brief encounter, but Su Jinxi clearly didn't care about this insignificant little episode, and instead paid particular attention to Pu Yunyuan.
“The Jade Spirit Sacred Mountain of Zixiao Heaven is jointly controlled by three major immortal clans, one of which is the Pu clan.”
Su Jinxi crossed her arms and slowly said, "I have heard of the name Pu Yunyuan before. She seems to be the most talented among the younger generation of the Pu clan, but she is quite low-key and does not like to make friends widely."
"Ha! I knew it." Upon hearing this, Gu Heng smiled knowingly at his intuition.
She was indeed someone of importance. The cultivators who had been following her before were not young people, and they were all wearing the same standard Taoist robes. The inspector was already the lowest-ranking official, so she certainly didn't deserve any subordinates.
So perhaps they were responsible for protecting this Miss Pu, who had a powerful background.
pity.
It seems that the protection work is not very good.
As they approached the wreckage of the multi-story ship, Xiaobai frowned and twitched her nose slightly: "There's no smell of them around here."
"There was also a battle."
Su Jinxi could see the chaotic spiritual energy swirling around her as soon as she looked up.
Su Jinxi could sense that the surrounding spiritual energy was extremely chaotic, definitely affected by the aftershocks of the battle; there was also a lingering smell of blood. "Was it destroyed by the Eternal Beast Tide?"
Gu Heng murmured.
The ship was already completely destroyed; logically, it shouldn't have fallen to such a state of disarray.
With the plane crash and the clash, the shipwreck must not have been an accident. Judging from the overwhelming force of the Eternal Beasts, could it be that they ran head-on into the Eternal Beast tide and were directly overwhelmed?
“Pu Yunyuan was accompanied by several protectors, the oldest of whom was also the strongest. He definitely possessed the strength of the Nirvana Peak, the only one of its kind in all realms.”
Xiao Bai frowned even more, as if he had sensed some unusual conspiracy: "No matter how many Eternal Beasts there are, they can never threaten the One of All Realms."
Gu Heng immediately recalled the old man to Pu Yunyuan's left when they met.
Without a doubt, that should be the strongest one Xiaobai mentioned, at the same level as Wu Zhao. And based on Gu Heng's understanding of Wu Zhao, a cultivator at the peak of the Nirvana Realm is indeed unlikely to be threatened by an Eternal Beast.
According to records, the most powerful Eternal Beast that has ever appeared is only at the peak of the Creation Realm.
Only the Eternal Beast King possesses the strength of the Nirvana Realm, but the number of Eternal Beast Kings is extremely small, and they are almost always hunted with a specific purpose. As soon as they appear, they are immediately locked onto by countless powerful beings, who then kill them from a great distance.
Over time, when the Eternal Beast Tide appeared, the Beast King was no longer present.
So who did it?
"Their scent has gone northwest. Whoever destroyed this ship, they are still hunting down Pu Yunyuan."
After a while, Su Jinxi pointed in a direction.
Gu Heng's expression immediately turned strange. That was the location they had come from, which was exactly where the Junling Immortal Realm was, and there was currently an Eternal Zhengheng Beast Tide there. What was going on?
"Master, you decide."
Xiao Bai knew Gu Heng's plans and what he was struggling with, although Xiao Bai felt it was completely unnecessary.
If the master wants to intervene, then no matter who is chasing that Inspector Pu, they will definitely fail. No one can be a match for their master, no one!
Even if a god were present, the master could probably handle it with ease.
But whether or not to help is not a question that anyone other than Gu Heng has the right to decide.
"Sigh, if only I could be more heartless."
half an hour.
Gu Heng sighed in frustration.
"Go ahead, let's go back and look in those directions."
Although he knew that doing so would definitely draw him into a vortex that had nothing to do with him, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing. It was only a brief encounter, but Pu Yunyuan was the first truly friendly immortal cultivator he had ever met.
I'll help if I can. Gu Heng is planning to find some practice partners to rebuild his "perception" of his own strength.
Although his cognitive impairment has made him stronger than Xiaobai and perhaps stronger than everyone else on the ship, he can't even fly. But fighting doesn't necessarily have to involve flying.
He dared not be lenient with himself, but this was also an opportunity with unknown risks.
If we can find someone alive, we'll give Pu Yunyuan a hand.
If you can't find her, or if you find her body, then so be it. Just consider it her fate, light three sticks of incense to help her reincarnate sooner.
