Chapter 672: Traveling Alone Again
This is not good news.
At the very least, Gu Heng's "Travels in the Little Mystic Realm" will definitely be affected, as he has been wanted by the entire realm. How can things possibly turn out well?
We thought that once we escaped that forbidden zone of dead souls, everything would be fine, but little did we know that the real trouble was yet to come!
These days are getting tough...
Gu Heng rubbed his temples, his heart filled with worry again for the safety of the four girls.
This is a Celestial Venerable who wants to capture them. What will happen to the four of them if the Celestial Venerable's big hand comes down?
Don’t say anything else.
What should he do? If someone puts a bounty on his head, he'll have to be more cautious when traveling in this Lesser Mystic Realm.
“However, Brother Gu, our Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom has no intention of posting this out... We consider this as just a piece of waste paper.”
Gu Heng's expression suddenly turned sour.
Mu Qingyu quickly made her point clear: their Muxian Demon Kingdom, or at least the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, had no intention of opposing Gu Heng. She hoped he would see through her intentions, otherwise, if he got angry, they would be the ones to suffer.
"It's okay, I understand."
Gu Heng rolled up the bounty poster and put it away.
Since it was Mu Qingyu who came, and not some other malicious person, it meant that he was currently safe, and at least he could move around freely here.
But he had to go find someone.
Bai Feier and the others had gone much further than him, and might have already received the bounty notice and knew they were being targeted, but trying to evade capture by a Celestial Venerable was no easy feat.
The Immortal Venerable is the strongest being in this Little Mystic Heaven Realm. Whatever the strongest wants, can't they have it?
The price offered on the bounty was so impressive that he couldn't help but think it was incredibly domineering. He wished he could hand himself over and get his hands on everything from immortal-level pills and secret martial arts techniques to immortal-level magic treasures and a high-ranking position in the Dragon Palace.
"So, Brother Gu, it seems you're about to leave?"
Mu Qingyu's voice was weak.
"Well, I have to go. Looks like someone wants to make things difficult for me. I won't stay here and cause you any more trouble."
Gu Heng stood up with a smile.
"But I need to ask you for a favor... two favors, please."
"Brother Gu, please give your instructions."
Knowing that Gu Heng needed her, Mu Qingyu immediately perked up and patted her chest to guarantee, "If those four girls come looking for you later, could you please help them out for my sake?"
"Absolutely no problem!"
Mu Qingyu thought it was some big request.
But helping four human women was too easy for her!
"Where's the other one?"
"I'll be staying in this town of five. If possible, could you send someone to tell me about the latest situation of the other four?"
Gu Heng took out a map and pointed to a town on the border of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom, but the town didn't even have a name, and the surrounding terrain was all desert.
But the more desolate the desert, the sparsely populated it is.
In other words, the fewer people there are, the safer it is.
"Sure, but they've already left the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom, so I'm not sure how much information I'll have..."
Mu Qingyu readily agreed, as it wasn't a difficult task.
"Thank you."
Gu Heng cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyu also stood up, and then escorted Gu Heng all the way to the city gate of Muyue City: "Brother Gu, take care, we'll meet again when we have the chance!"
"I'll definitely see you again."
Gu Heng waved without turning his head, and his figure disappeared into the night.
After seeing Gu Heng off, Mu Qingyu was sullen and stood by the city gate for a long time.
"Sigh, I was too embarrassed to ask."
She sighed.
Although she hadn't spent much time with Gu Heng, his demeanor had left a deep impression on her. Now that she thought about it, she realized that she had been rather ungrateful to address such a highly accomplished senior as "Brother Gu."
But the other person didn't seem to be unhappy about it at all, and was quite happy to let her do as she pleased.
He's a good person.
It's a bit of a pity that the time we spent together was too short.
But all good things must come to an end. Mu Qingyu knew that she had already received many benefits, and it seemed a bit unfair to ask for more.
She had originally intended to leave with Gu Heng.
But I still didn't ask the question.
Forget it.
Since he said we could meet again, let's be patient and wait for the next time. Maybe then we can have plenty of things to talk about and chat about everything at once! Mu Qingyu is about to start cultivating.
She always felt that her abilities were about to improve by leaps and bounds.
……
Following the main road, I hurried along in my swift boots.
After traveling for four or five days, Gu Heng finally arrived at the border of the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom.
This border was particularly desolate, mostly desert and Gobi. He stood on a hill, gazing at the last town he could enter before leaving the Twilight Immortal Demon Kingdom.
This town doesn't even deserve a name on the map because it's too small and looks badly ravaged by sandstorms.
In a place like this, there's no need to think about enjoyment. Gu Heng hasn't used teleportation to return to the desolate city to sleep for the past four or five days. He's been traveling non-stop. You could say that he's not even sleepy after four or five days without sleep. It's true that being a cultivator has its advantages.
There's a fundamental difference between sleeping when you want to and sleeping only when you're extremely tired. "Let's go into the city first. Hopefully, the people Miss Qingyu sent are already waiting here."
Gu Heng put away the map and then headed towards the nameless town.
