Chapter 627: Just how strong is Young Master Gu?
The Death Soul Witch King trembled with fear, almost bursting into tears: "Wait! Please have mercy! I'm absolutely not lying! You can really leave now..."
Gu Heng paused for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
This guy is so unwilling to die, he probably knows he'll say anything when death is imminent. But seeing how determined he is, Gu Heng began to hesitate.
Could it be that things aren't as complicated as he imagined?
"...In that case, lead the way for me."
"well!"
The Death Soul Witch King breathed a sigh of relief, but it could still vaguely sense that if it had even the slightest malicious intention, its fate would be extremely miserable!
"I don't need to elaborate on the consequences of resorting to underhanded tactics, do I?"
Gu Heng brandished his treasured sword.
He wouldn't completely believe the vengeful ghost, but rather than trying to kill it, it was better to give it a shot than to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.
Moreover, he was not lacking in escape skills. If this guy dared to lure him into some dangerous situation, Gu Heng would make sure it knew how sharp his sword was!
The Death Soul Witch King nodded vigorously, and swore oaths incessantly.
Just now, Gu Heng's tug pulled its main body directly out from under the Witch King's Palace, and the seal that was trapping it was also violently shattered.
In other words.
This powerful figure, in effect, granted him the freedom to leave his physical body at will. The Death Soul Witch King didn't want this freedom to vanish in an instant.
"Then please follow me."
"Ah."
Gu Heng released his grip, sheathed his goose-feather knife, and followed the vengeful ghost out of the main hall.
……
In the Mingyuan Mountain.
As she watched the sky outside gradually darken, Li Feichan's emotions stirred.
It's still a bit early, so it seems safe for now.
But once night falls, the trouble becomes much bigger.
Li Feichan, Shu Tao, and Shu Ying were almost powerless against these wandering spirits of the wasteland. They all had to rely on Bai Feier to withstand the pressure so they could choose the right moment to assist her. In order to protect them, Bai Feier had to devote even more energy to this task. Li Feichan disliked this feeling very much.
They are all of the same generation, but she seems too weak here. She can't even protect herself. Her target for revenge is the Crimson Dragon Immortal, but now she can't even gain a foothold in the Lesser Mystic Heaven Realm!
"...Are we just going to wait like this?"
After a while, Li Feichan looked at Bai Feier, who was now in a meditative state, as if the danger that had nearly cost them their lives the night before no longer existed.
Previously, Bai Feier was very tense because even with the immortal sword in hand and such talent, she felt that she was in dire straits and could fail at any moment.
But then she met Gu Heng.
She trusted that man completely.
It would be a lie to say that Li Feichan wasn't curious about this.
"Just wait, Young Master Gu will let us leave safely." Bai Feier closed her eyes, but a smile played on her lips. Her voice was low but full of determination.
She trusted Gu Heng.
Li Feichan pursed her lips, but finally asked, "Who exactly is this Young Master Gu?"
She couldn't not ask; she didn't want to be tormented by the questions and curiosity that kept popping up in her mind at a time like this.
There wasn't much interaction between Bai Feier and Gu Heng. If they knew each other, Li Feichan wouldn't be too surprised or curious. Everyone has people who seem unrelated to others but are actually close friends.
but.
What Bai Feier showed towards Gu Heng, besides familiarity, was mostly admiration and trust, as if that young master Gu was a powerful figure she would always look up to...
That's quite unusual.
Gu Heng was also a young rogue cultivator undergoing trials at the Holy Dragon Cave. How could he have caused Bai Feier to have such emotions?
"He... Let me make this short. If I hadn't met Young Master Gu a year ago, I would be dead by now."
Bai Feier didn't need to say much; she only needed to recount how Gu Heng had rescued her from despair and given her hope again. That was enough to deeply move Li Feichan.
As for more.
She kept it a secret.
"...Is this true?"
Li Feichan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
She could never have imagined that the young man who had been standing by her side, making her feel almost invisible, had become, in Bai Feier's words, a mysterious and powerful recluse!
Judging from that tone, Gu Heng is probably already an immortal!
Whether it was true or not, Li Feichan didn't know, but Bai Feier was certain it was true, as true as could be. "Whether you believe it or not is not important. My master's understanding of him has been constantly changing, becoming more and more astonishing. What she has seen and heard is far broader and more extensive than mine. That's just the truth."
Bai Feier spoke slowly and firmly, seemingly lost in a memory, with gentle ripples appearing in her eyes and brows.
in fact.
Her understanding of Gu Heng also changed very quickly.
Previously, Bai Feier only thought of Gu Heng as a supreme saint who lived in seclusion in the mortal world, but now that the world has changed so much, her guesses about his strength and intentions have also changed.
When immortal-level cultivators reappeared, Bai Feier felt that Gu Heng was at least an immortal.
But is he really?
Perhaps when I become an immortal myself, and look at Gu Heng again, he will still be just as unfathomable.
Strength limits one's perspective, it limits too much. Bai Feier felt that she would probably never know in her lifetime just how terrifying Gu Heng's true strength was.
