"No matter what, no matter what news cos from outside, whether I’m dead or alive, you must believe in ," Gu Changsheng’s face was serious as he looked into the void, "That day, we took Red Sun City easily, and starting from today, you must hold Red Sun City. While I create chaos in their rear, wait for my signal to call you to move forward!"
After finishing his words, Gu Changsheng didn’t give them ti to think. His figure shot up from the ground and soared out of the City Lord’s Mansion.
"Evildoer, help take care of them, wait for !"
With Zhou Mu stationed in Red Sun City, only then could she proceed without worries, unshackled to continue forward!
Her child, still waiting for her in Great Swamp Mountain!
She had been conserving her energy for so long, just for this day!
In the Southern Border, only she, Gu Changsheng, could travel unhindered!
The descendant of the Phoenix Clan, the chosen of the King of Witch Gu, only she could face the upcoming difficulties and dangers of the Southern Border without fear!
"Don’t follow ! The road ahead isn’t one you can accompany on!" Seeing the six maids determined to follow, Gu Changsheng’s face darkened, "Go back to Red Sun City!"
"My lady, I cannot comply!" Han Qiu said firmly, shaking her head stoically.
"My lady, Xiao Cui once said, whether in life or death, she would be with you. How could you leave Xiao Cui alone to infiltrate the Southern Border Hinterland? This ti, I absolutely won’t heed your words!" Xiao Cui, who always obeyed her lady, also shook her head.
"You!" Gu Changsheng was left sowhat speechless by their reactions.
The four sisters of Jin, Yu, Liang and Yuan, identical in their delicate features, but the resoluteness on their beautiful faces was undeniably evident!
"My lady, please bring us with you, we swear to share life and death with you!" Xiao Cui, clutching Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, pleaded with tears in her eyes.
"Do you think the Southern Border is made of paper? Do you really believe the Gu techniques of the Southern Border, notorious for inspiring dread in so many, are so easily defeated? Don’t follow , you’ll only beco a burden to !" Gu Changsheng was unwavering.
This ti, she had decided to go alone, determined not to let those around her fall into danger with her!
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
"..."
The synchronized sound of six daggers being drawn, led by Xiao Cui and Han Qiu, the six maids resolutely placed their daggers at their own throats.
"My lady, I know this move always gets to you, if you won’t let us follow, then we’ll die right here in front of you!" Xiao Cui wiped away the tears from her eyes and spoke with determination.
"Protecting the lady, there might be a slim chance of survival, but if you’re ready to watch us die just like that, then feel free to leave us behind!" Han Qiu said with unshakeable conviction.
"Please, my lady, take us sisters with you!" Sai Jin pleaded earnestly.
They offered their lifelong loyalty just for this woman who had saved them from suffering and helped them achieve a tamorphosis, to beco new people!
For such a woman, they were willing to die!
Gu Changsheng raised her hand and pointed at the line of pretty girls ready to slit their throats, montarily at a loss for words, the violent heaving of her chest revealing her intense emotional turmoil.
"Damn it! Not again! Han Qiu, your move is damn underhanded! How co it never fails, huh?" After a while, Gu Changsheng finally reclaid her hand with a defeated look, speaking sheepishly.
Shit, once it worked once, it would work again, and they’d actually used it to threaten her several tis!
And now, here it was again!
Damn it, as underhanded as this tactic was, she had no counter for it!
You can’t just watch as your own personal maids slit their throats, can you?
This was freaking them seizing her Achilles’ heel and stomping on it with all their might!
"If you insist on following , as soon as we leave Red Sun City, I’ll head straight towards Great Swamp Mountain in the southwest, not hiding our tracks at all. If we encounter any resistance along the way, you better hide. Stay as far away as possible, so you don’t give any trouble!" Gu Changsheng, having no choice but to tolerate her shalessly persistent maids, waved her hand in resignation. A group of seven won left Red Sun City very conspicuously, heading southwest.
And behind them, a tall man followed by two people, one fat and one thin, trailed at a moderate distance.
Once out of Red Sun City, Gu Changsheng noticed countless hidden gazes following them like tracking maggots.
With a smile on her lips, Gu Changsheng was unfazed; if they didn’t act, she wouldn’t either!
"My lady, we’re being tracked! And it’s more than one group!" Xiao Cui, naturally timid, thus excelling in stealth and evasion during her training in the Dark Night Army, reported.
"Let them follow if they want. If the enemy doesn’t move, I won’t move either. I want to see how long they can hold out!" Gu Changsheng, casually holding a blade of grass in her mouth while riding her horse, said indifferently.
Red Sun City had been conquered for several days now, and according to the nature of Huaheng and the Xiangka Clan, they should have counterattacked by now. But she had waited several days without any aggressive coordinated attack from both clans.
Anxious about her little bun, Gu Changsheng couldn’t wait any longer and chose to venture south alone at this ti!
Firstly, even if the Huaheng and Xiangka Clans combined forces, with the Dark Night Army holding the defensive advantage of the city, they still would not gain the upper hand.
Secondly, Gu Changsheng was their ultimate target, and she was able to attract the masters to her side, thus, she inadvertently relieved so pressure from the Dark Night Army!
The Southern Border was adept at Gu techniques, and since there erged a Futu Demoness who could enhance her Inner Strength with Gu, there would be a second and a third!
Hence, Gu Changsheng dared not take the matter lightly!
Experts who defied the heavens had the potential to bring about catastrophic disasters; she could not let those masters bring calamity upon her Dark Night Army!
A group of seven won spurred their horses continuously, rushing straight into the deep mountains of the Southwest, riding on horses that could cover a thousand li in a day, much to the chagrin of those who pursued them!
They followed closely behind, whether quickly or slowly, but in the end, their patience ran out, and they revealed themselves in front of the seven won.
This place was a deep mountain, two days’ distance from Red Sun City. Having been led on a two-day chase, those surrounding Gu Changsheng also showed signs of fatigue.
"Giggle... Heaven has a path you chose not to take, hell has no gate yet you co knocking of your own accord, Gu Changsheng, you truly are exceedingly arrogant!" The voice, sharp and shrill like a night owl, could vaguely make out to be that of an old woman.
"A good dog doesn’t block the path! Get out of the way; I’ll spare your lives." Plucking the grass root from her mouth, Gu Changsheng spoke indifferently as she looked at the more than ten slender figures hidden beneath dark clothes.
Woman!
All of them were won!
And, all adept in Gu techniques!
Gu Changsheng could feel the robust Inner Strength emanating from them, as well as the Dandan Bugs leaping joyfully between their brows.
Dandan Bugs, which would only beco so cheerful when they saw a Gu!
"Eat, eat! Dandan’s Mom! Kill them! Collect their Gu insects!" Dandan clung onto his two small paws, drooling, his large eyes sparkling brightly.
"Eat what! If you dare, run out here and eat them yourself!" Gu Changsheng retorted imdiately upon hearing his words.
"I can’t get out! Dandan’s Mom, you eat! You eat!" Dandan’s face still brimd with joy as he persistently tried to tempt her.
Thinking about the Gu insects she had once found on Huo Shuixian, Gu Changsheng shivered.
Asking her to eat those bugs?
What a joke!
Just the sight of them made her want to vomit, let alone eat them!
She absolutely couldn’t stomach them! Over her dead body!
"Shut your mouth! If you don’t, I’ll cut off your food supply!" Gu Changsheng’s expression turned unpleasant as she spoke, damn it, didn’t he see the formidable enemy right in front of them?
Did he really think the dozen or so people in front of them were easy to handle?
Once Dandan Bug heard about being cut off from food, he imdiately quieted down. Clutching his tiny belly with a pair of aggrieved large eyes, he crouched on the ground and refused to get up.
Their ntal conversation was naturally unknown to the outsiders.
"Gu Changsheng, a year from now will be the anniversary of your death! If you know what’s good for you, give up and surrender willingly!" Still that old woman, with a voice like a night owl, spoke with contempt and certainty, arrogantly declaring.
Scratching her ear, Gu Changsheng frowned with disdain and spoke again, but her hand was waving to Han Qiu and Xiao Cui behind her.
Their retreat was apparent!
This old woman was very strong—the strongest Gu Changsheng has ever faced!
Han Qiu and Xiao Cui wouldn’t last a single move under this old woman, and even Gu Changsheng was starting to be cautious!
The six won did not dare to delay, after exchanging looks, they imdiately retreated.
"Dudu Zhi, they’re escaping!" Another woman, over forty years old, noticing the six won retreating, promptly reminded her.
Having been called a spirit by Gu Changsheng, the old Dudu Zhi was already furious. She glanced disdainfully in the direction where Han Qiu and the others were retreating, and spoke ominously, "Xiangka Tianji called out of seclusion, asking for Gu Changsheng’s life; I have no desire to ddle in any other matters!"
Old Dudu Zhi’s murky eyes turned towards Gu Changsheng as she spoke with an ominous tone, "Gu Changsheng, offspring of the Phoenix Family, over a hundred years ago, your Phoenix Clan annihilated my entire Dudu Family. Today, I shall exact revenge for the extermination of my family!"
Over a hundred years ago, her Dudu Family had ruled as kings of the mountain, but unexpectedly, they were wiped out overnight by the Phoenix Clan, with only her managing to escape.
Her grievance subsided only when the Phoenix Family fell from power. Unexpectedly, descendants of the Phoenix Family still remained...
