When the person dear to Gu Changsheng returned, she was still fiercely and inseparably fighting barehanded with Borjigin Nian.
At this, everyone shook their heads.
Zhou Mu looked on with indulgent helplessness, glancing at the two. From the mont he had brought Borjigin Nian over, he had known that this woman might end up getting along with his carefree Little Junior Sister. Now it seed, they were not just getting along—they were having a blast together!
Watching their entangled figures, Zhou Mu’s gaze darkened; his Little Junior Sister seed to be more successful with this woman than he was!
How could this be!
Thus, Zhou Mu’s expression imdiately grew stern, alarming Yuan Bao by his side, who shrank her plump, pearl-like body, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible!
Her master’s expression was very grim! The consequences were severe!
Sure enough, in the next instant, a purple-gold figure flashed, and Borjigin Nian’s long whip flew from her hands as Gu Changsheng suddenly found herself in a warm embrace!
The two, who had been fighting rrily, were startled. With their skills, the person who could easily break into their fight and separate them without a second thought could only be one person. It had to be the formidable Zhou Mu!
"What’s this? How did your face turn as dark as pot-bottom ash just by stepping out for a while?" Gu Changsheng rubbed herself in the familiar embrace, completely baffled.
Could it be that her enslavent had been too much, and where there was oppression, there was resistance, and this evildoer finally knew to resist?
Her senior brother’s face was very dark, especially after Gu Changsheng spoke those words—he looked even more thunderous!
Borjigin Nian was always sensible and took the hint imdiately, without saying another word. She stealthily picked up the long whip from the ground and sidled over to Yue Xilou!
His big uncle, his second uncle, they were both his uncles! In front of her senior brother, Yue Xilou was definitely the best shield!
Although this shield might not necessarily have wanted to be used, it hadn’t refused, had it?
Silence ans consent, a saying by Gu Changsheng that Borjigin Nian took to heart. Hiding behind Yue Xilou, she was determined not to show her face anymore!
Indeed, the fearless Borjigin Nian, who feared neither her Father King nor her master, feared nothing more than her senior brother changing his face!
Though this change of face was sowhat baffling!
Glaring at the little woman in his arms, Zhou Mu turned his chilly gaze towards Yue Xilou and said sternly, "Control your woman!"
With that, the figures of the two vanished from the courtyard.
Yue Xilou’s expression instantly darkened!
But Borjigin Nian was instantly elated!
His woman! His senior brother told Yue Xilou to control his woman, clearly referring to her!
She unexpectedly loved this title! Her senior brother, after all, still sided with her!
"Yue Xilou, co and take good care of !" With her arms wide open, Borjigin Nian assud a completely unreserved pose.
This display made everyone in the courtyard lower their heads with faces full of embarrassnt.
Yue Xilou looked at her with a dark and enigmatic gaze, his red lips parting slightly, "You really are courting death. Do you think that just by conquering Red Sun City, the Southern Borderlands will fall into our hands? Lazy by nature, you still have the mood to fool around with her!"
"I..." Borjigin Nian stamred in response.
Under the daylight, Yue Xilou’s multicolored garnts shimred brilliantly, his head adorned with gems yet his expression was cold. Turning to look in the direction where Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu had vanished, he spoke solemnly, "The real battle has just begun... Long before the siege, she had already decided to go alone, to pave the way for us, yet you still recklessly disturb her rest and join her frivolity!"
"What do you an? What is this about going alone?" Borjigin Nian took an imdiate step forward and spoke anxiously upon hearing this.
Yue Xilou looked somber and remained silent, but Yuan Bao, who was beside him, couldn’t help stepping forward, "Princess Nian, it’s not that Master Lou condemns you, but whether it was Dayao Village or Red Sun City, after each siege, we designated ti for you to rest, and there was indeed a reason for that!"
Borjigin Nian imdiately turned her gaze towards Yuan Bao, her face full of shock and confusion.
Seeing this, Yuan Bao sighed and spoke in a deep voice, "Princess Nian, you have just mastered Inner Strength, and you’ve been on the move heading south these past few months without even ti to fully integrate and comprehend it. Not to ntion, you’ve bled countless tis along the way just to ensure the safety of the Dark Night Army without a single failure. Your body is truly outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and only now has it barely recovered!"
Borjigin Nian’s expression darkened. She had always been carefree and unconcerned with such trivial matters. Now, thinking about it, the small porcelain vial she wore on her chest, faintly slling of blood, was it really Gu Changsheng’s blood?
Along the way, Gu Changsheng was constantly taking dicine, and things like dates, which replenish blood, were always seen. Now when she thought about it carefully, it was just as Yuan Bao had said...
"Princess Nian, from crossing over Dayao Mountain to entering the Southern Border, and then fighting our way to Red Sun City, she has been regulating her own Inner Strength, striving to recover to her peak state. Princess Nian, Dayao Village is just a frontier stronghold of the Southern Borderlands, not the core of the Southern Borderlands. Although we captured Red Sun City, out of its 200,000-strong army, only 50,000 have departed. The remaining 150,000 are still engaging the Xiangka Clan in the front lines!"
The Southern Borderlands are boundless, spanning thousands of miles. The Huaheng Clan’s Red Sun Valley is located on the northeastern edge of the Southern Borderlands. For centuries, no one has attacked there, which is why they could afford to send their armies to the frontline. We actually took a big advantage—if it were not necessary, even the Dark Night Army, adept in war and able to fight against the odds, couldn’t conquer this overnight!"
Upon hearing this, Borjigin Nian’s expression beca stern.
Seeing her like this, Yuan Bao shook his head and continued, "Princess Nian, whether it was Dayao Village or Red Sun City, have we ever seen a Gu user?"
Gu user?
Borjigin Nian’s head suddenly buzzed!
The people of the Southern Borderlands are skilled in using Gu—it’s common knowledge—but on their journey south to Red Sun City, they had not encountered a single Gu user!
All they t were ordinary guards!
"There’s sothing sinister about abnormalities; Nian, facing ordinary people, the Dark Night Army may be able to easily seize cities and territories, but facing Gu users, it’s a great fortune that the Dark Night Army can even preserve their lives! Thus, the core areas of the Southern Borderlands, we have yet to set foot..." Forced to drink a bowl of dicinal soup by Zhou Mu, Gu Changsheng walked out, wiping the dicine from the corner of his mouth. Dressed in flowing red, he stepped slowly forward and stood before everyone.
"So, Nian, Red Sun City is the last station of the Dark Night Army as they advance into the Southern Borderlands. They cannot continue to follow after this!" Gu Changsheng, looking at the people in front of him, smiled slightly, "Why do you think Huaheng Cangyue has hidden her Gu-skilled subordinates instead of using them? Why are the ones sent to defend the city re ordinary guards? The Huaheng Clan has been loyal to the Phoenix Clan for generations, and why have I, without any regard for maternal clan relations, slaughtered them to near extinction?"
Gu Changsheng’s gaze deepened. He looked up at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky and slowly opened his mouth, "Because on the city walls, I saw not a single Gu Servant. Huaheng’s true military strength isn’t in Red Sun City because they know that Gu is useless against !"
"Only the Xiangka Clan, whom my son has tornted, knows that I carry the King of Witch Gu and I am not afraid of Gu. Now, even the Huaheng Clan has beco aware of this, even at the cost of sacrificing their own people, to trap ," he said.
That damned god of Witch Gu was summoned just to solve a pressing problem for my little Yaoyao; only the clan leader of the Xiangka Clan, that woman nad Xiangka Tianji, knows about this!
"Thus, Huaheng had long allied with the Xiangka Clan to set this trap, all to annihilate us once and for all in this Red Sun City!" Gu Changsheng’s expression between his brows couldn’t help but reveal a trace of fierceness. "The battle in the Southern Borderlands hasn’t even started if the Gu practitioners haven’t co out! Even if the Dark Night Army is fierce, they can only be trapped and distressed in the face of witchcraft!"
At this point, Gu Changsheng laughed heartily, "Yes, my Dark Night Army can only be trapped and distressed in the face of Gu practitioners! They’ve now willingly handed over Red Sun City, all so that I can be trapped and distressed here! And I, I will do as they wish!"
This advantageous Red Sun City is the burial ground prepared by the Xiangka Clan and Huaheng Clan for her, Gu Changsheng!
Too bad, their imagination is wonderful!
Reality, just as they wished, she has occupied this city!
Under the sunlight, clad in red, Gu Changsheng stood imposingly, commanding natural authority, her long skirt trailing luxuriously and quietly on the ground. Her voice was slow and grave, "They prepared Red Sun City for , and I have gladly accepted it. But now that I’ve taken over, I absolutely will not let it go! They want to see my Dark Night Army trapped and distressed here, so I will fulfill their wish!"
"Every person in the Dark Night Army carries a vial of my blood. With my blood, we can attract all Gu in the world. If the enemy uses Gu during the siege, the Dark Night Army can surely save themselves. Not only do we need to save ourselves, but we also need to hold this city!"
Borjigin Nian trembled slightly upon hearing this and stepped forward anxiously. "Gu Changsheng, what do you an? The Dark Night Army holds Red Sun City for you, but what about you? What are you going to do?"
It must not be what she imagined! This woman is really too insane!
She actually thinks... she dares to...
"Red Sun City is the most crucial stronghold for as I advance into the Southern Borderlands! The road ahead is fraught with innurable difficulties, the rough mountains and evil waters of the Southern Borderlands, the ghosts and monsters are all waiting ahead. My little Yaoyao is still in their hands, but I can’t be too selfish. I can’t let the Dark Night Army accompany , always at risk of being annihilated! They will stay here, guarding this city while I pave a bright road to Great Swamp Mountain for them!" Gu Changsheng looked at the solemnly standing Yan Ting and others and spoke in a firm voice...
