Chapter 522: Is it so hard to protect a deserted city?
The consequences of being discovered by the Void Immortal Realm are self-evident.
Those who "defect" will not be allowed to have a good ending, Gu Yun thought.
Although they have now emerged into the world, these people from the Desolate City cannot change their fate of defection. In fact, Yin Rufeng still foresaw that they would eventually be discovered by the Void Immortal World, while Gu Yun now has an opportunity...
That means blaming the desolate city for "colluding with the demon realm"!
Since the goal was to completely destroy them anyway, what difference would a few more fabricated charges make? They would just be another way to make the case more "justified".
"Ugh... this is troublesome."
Having thought all this through, Yin Rufeng couldn't help but sigh. The future of the desolate city was hanging by a thread.
Even though he broke through to the Immortal Lord level and somehow avoided the Heavenly Tribulation that he was supposed to face, everything seemed perfect. But the Void Immortal Realm was still a colossal behemoth that he couldn't deal with!
Although the Immortal Realm lives in seclusion, they truly possess methods and means to communicate with the Immortal Realm!
Although it's impossible to go to the Immortal Realm, it doesn't say that people from the Immortal Realm can't come here.
Moreover, the Void Immortal Realm has now chosen to emerge into the world, even allowing the entire "Little Mystic Heaven Realm" to be seen by all living beings in the Mystic Heaven Realm...
So what if they really sent an immortal lord, or even Gu Yun himself, to annihilate the desolate city?
Even if Heaven were to send down a tribulation to punish them, the punishment would take time. In that short time, the desolate city would probably be destroyed dozens of times over! "Old Master Yin, you look so distressed; it doesn't look good."
Gu Heng couldn't hold back any longer and said.
This old man.
Suddenly, negative emotions started spreading throughout his yard again.
I'm teaching Yin Xueling to paint right now. Emotional connection is very important, just like learning music. Your emotions will unconsciously seep into your artwork...
As a result, the old man kept sighing and complaining, which made his granddaughter lose interest in continuing to draw.
If this continues, and Yin Rufeng tries to "crash" his studies again, he'll have to accept a bribe!
"Ugh."
Yin Rufeng shook his head, "I don't want it to be like this either, but... to be honest with Young Master Gu, this desolate city is probably going to face a great calamity."
"Oh?" Upon hearing his words, Yin Xueling, who had been drawing intently, suddenly looked up at her grandfather with surprise in her eyes: "What, is disaster about to strike?"
Her grandfather usually has a calm and indifferent demeanor, so why is he so restless today?
Could it be because of what that person said just now?
"What do you mean by impending doom? It's just some guy shouting a bunch of things at the top of his lungs. There's nothing to be afraid of, and it won't bother this place!"
Gu Heng scoffed out loud.
It seems the old man was frightened by that person who spoke from across the sky!
Indeed, Gu Heng was initially somewhat surprised. It was clearly a cultivator from another world, and a highly skilled one at that, speaking to this Xuan Tian Realm. This was quite novel, as Gu Heng had no idea that other worlds existed outside. As for the words they shouted, they were actually quite simple: the world was in chaos, war raged everywhere, and the mastermind behind it all was the Demon Realm. They claimed the Demon Realm deserved to die a thousand deaths, their members were all bastards, and their "Little Xuan Tian Realm's" experts were coming to the Xuan Tian Realm to cleanse the so-called "Demonic Remnants" of the Demon Realm, and so on…
Honestly, what's the point of listening to these words from Gu Heng?
Isn't this just a "declaration of war"?
Gu Yun represents the world behind him, whether it's the "Little Xuantian Realm" or whatever, it's a declaration of war against the Demon Realm, the "mastermind behind everything"!
How could declaring war on the Demon Realm scare that old man Yin Rufeng?
He was such an ordinary, pedantic old man, seemingly frail and weak, always dressed in an elaborate brocade robe. It seemed that he knew nothing but painting and managing family affairs, yet he came every day to secretly learn, fearing that his granddaughter's painting skills would surpass his... How come, some cultivators who had nothing to do with the desolate city casually read out a declaration of war, and he was so frightened that he paced back and forth in the courtyard, filled with unease.
So this old man is from the demon realm?
Putting aside the fact that in Gu Heng's mind, real demons should all be dressed as pixelated snowmen, just looking at their strength, this old man looks like he could be blown over with a single breath. The demon realm is described as so sinful and terrifying, and Yin Rufeng doesn't fit the description of "sinful and terrifying" at all.
Furthermore.
They said that they were going to war with the Demon Realm, and that anyone causing trouble outside, whether it was the demon race or the evil cultivator alliance, was a lackey of the Demon Realm and a spy for them. They didn't say anything about what they would do to the Desolate City. Gu Heng actually felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
It's none of my business.
Everyone should live a good life in this remote mountain village, and nothing outside should affect them.
Unless the war spreads here. It's not impossible, but so far there's been no war here; it's still peaceful and tranquil. There are just more people coming and going, but they don't pose a threat.
Since the Demon Realm is the mastermind, we must fight our way to the Demon Realm. Why should the Ancient Wilderness Cultivation be affected?
Although the scenery here is beautiful, it is not a strategic location. It is sparsely populated and quite desolate. When there is no war, almost no one comes here. When there is war, who wouldn't fight for big cities and precious lands?
Why would they want to compete for this "remote and impoverished area"?
Gu Heng thought that no one with a sound mind would do such a thing.
At most, only some ignorant little shrimp might come here, and Gu Heng can clean it up himself.
He is a "Nascent Soul cultivator".
Even if a major problem arises, he still has the system and a whole bunch of treasures it has given him.
In short, there's nothing to be afraid of. "Grandpa Yin, sit down and relax. Don't worry about those things. At most, there might be more people here in the future, but there will be absolutely no threat."
"Even if there is, I can handle it."
Gu Heng waved his hand, signaling Yin Rufeng to stop pacing around and disturbing the view in the courtyard.
Listen to this.
Yin Rufeng suddenly perked up.
"Really? Young Master Gu is willing to protect my desolate city?!"
"Anyway, I live here too. If there's any trouble, I can handle it. Please rest assured and have a seat."
Gu Heng waved his hand, signaling Yin Rufeng to sit down quickly and stop standing there in the way.
Why is this old man so long-winded?
Yin Rufeng was instantly delighted, quickly sat down, and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Heng, saying, "Young Master Gu's kindness will be forever unforgettable in Huangcheng!"
Having this young master Gu as a guarantor was something he had never dared to imagine before.
Yin Rufeng had already witnessed Gu Heng's prowess. With just one painting, Gu Heng's granddaughter had leaped from the Ascension stage to the Golden Immortal stage, and he himself had broken through from the peak of the Primordial Immortal to the Immortal Lord stage. This was nothing short of a heaven-defying method!
He didn't know Gu Heng's strength, but he knew that Gu Yun certainly didn't have the ability to help him break through to the Immortal Lord level just by relying on a painting.
Moreover, Gu Heng was completely unafraid of the "Virtual Immortal World," and even looked down on the discovery of the ancient meteorite.
If he is truly willing to protect the desolate city, then everything is negotiable!
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Gu Heng nodded vigorously.
Is it really that difficult to protect a desolate city from some bandits and outlaws? It seems that Old Master Yin has never seen the power of a "Nascent Soul cultivator".
Well, maybe he'll have a chance to meet him someday.
