When Ye Mi returned to Heizi Mansion, it was already late at night.
She met her two sisters as she wished, but she checked in secret, and felt heavy after watching it.
Having lost two powerful companions, the Tinkerer and the Whisperer, her two sisters are not in a good situation.
They were sent to the capital to get in touch with some big bosses who had great influence in the dynasty, and exchanged their young looks for information. They even had to do whatever it took to complete the mission.
Ye Mi saw with his own eyes a middle-aged man with a big belly and a greasy face hugging his fourth sister, Ye Jia, while she forced a smile on her face and tried to flatter him.
Later, a middle-aged woman came in and found her, and slapped her casually, but she could only endure it silently, and even the man who just talked sweetly didn't speak for her.
How sad, not long ago, her sisters had no need to carry out such tasks that violated themselves, but now, they can't even compare with the freedom of an ordinary killer.
Ye Mi knew very well that the reason for such a change was because the men of the two sisters died during the mission in Zeguo.
They have no backer, no bargaining chip that can bring benefits to Wuwang Pavilion, and only their beauty can be used as capital.
No, from the beginning their capital was only the skin, and now they are just using it up after losing the maximum value...
The more Ye Mi thought about it, the more pathetic she became, and the more she thought about it, the more confused she became. If it was Chen Yi who died during the mission in Zeguo, would she be the one who fell into this fate now?
Does the adoptive father really regard them as daughters?
Or maybe it's just a tool from beginning to end.
Ye Mi entered the courtyard where he lived in despair. Under the bright moonlight, a figure stood in front of him.
"Why are you here?"
She came back to her senses a little and asked softly.
"Your sisters may choose to take revenge on you because they have a grudge against me, so I came over to see if you're back."
Gu Chen, who was dressed in white under the moonlight, turned his head. For some reason, the face in Ye Mi's eyes was more beautiful than usual.
"Then what would you do if I didn't come back?" Ye Mi couldn't help but ask.
"You are mine too, no one can touch you at will." Gu Chen said calmly.
"Your people?"
Ye Mi was dazed for a while. She knew that what the other party meant was different from what she thought, and that the other party regarded her as a subordinate.
However, despite this, he was waiting for her here, but he truly cared about her.
He may not fool her with sweet words, but he will never restrict her, let alone force her to do anything.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
Ye Mi smiled and suddenly felt better.
"As long as it's okay, we will enter the Lieyang Clan's ancestral land in two days. Then you will leave Heizi Mansion and hide temporarily until you are sure that we will return safely and show up again." Gu Chen ordered.
"Is the Ancestral Land and his party that dangerous?"
Ye Mi heard the fear and precaution in Gu Chen's words, and felt quite worried for a moment.
"Just be prepared." Gu Chen said with a smile.
"Then how can I help?" Ye Mi pursed her lips and asked.
"Help me keep an eye on the trends of all forces in the capital. No matter who is the final winner this time, there will definitely be a series of actions once they leave the ancestral land of the Lieyang tribe."
Gu Chen thought for a while and said.
In fact, he felt that it didn't make much sense to talk to Ye Mi, because even if Ye Wunian didn't show up in Shengjing, he would definitely be keeping an eye on what was going on here.
Gu Chen just said it casually, but Ye Mi really took it to heart and nodded: "Okay, I will help you keep an eye on what's going on in the city and be ready to respond to you at any time."
"Okay, it's very late, go to bed early."
Gu Chen passed by Ye Mi, patted her shoulder encouragingly, and then left.
"Everything... be careful..."
Ye Mi looked at his leaving figure and couldn't help but add another sentence, but her voice became quieter and softer, until only she could hear it.
…
The day of Old Shenghuang's test has arrived.
Early in the morning, eleven people from Heizi Mansion, led by Wu Lie, entered the palace together.
The entrance to the ancestral land of the Lieyang Clan is said to be located in the Dasheng Imperial Palace. Under the palace, there is a huge sealing circle.
The magic circle sealed the ancestral land and became the royal bloodline of Dasheng. It was rumored that just the energy escaping from the ancestral land made Shengjing, especially the palace, a paradise.
In the eleven-person team, Gu Chen and Ni Bodhisattva are naturally one. Not only are they just members, except for Wu Lie, Ni Bodhisattva has the greatest command authority.
There was no way, the "body-fixing technique" that day was too intimidating. Even without Wu Lie's explanation, the other monks involved decided to use the Clay Bodhisattva as a weapon to increase the survival rate in the Lieyang Clan's ancestral land.
In the meeting hall of the palace, it took a long time for the group of people from the Heizi Mansion to arrive, but the talents from the Prince's Mansion arrived late.
It is also a team of eleven people, with Prince Yanyang as the leader, and Sangyan and the old god Mingshou following behind.
When entering the main hall, he caught a glimpse of Gu Chen among the crowd in Heizi Mansion. Sangyan's eyes shone brightly and the corners of his mouth curved cruelly.
A few days ago, he held his breath in Longzhai and never let it go. Sangyan would never forget it.
He always keeps his word and must let the other party taste the most desperate taste, and then die of humiliation.
Gu Chen turned a blind eye to Sang Yan's biting gaze. When the people from the Prince's Mansion came in, he first scanned the area to make sure there were no other unknown masters hiding, and then focused most of his attention on Ming Shou.
Ming Shou is the biggest obstacle in his plan. With him here, it will be difficult for him to attack Sang Yan.
In the past few days, he had not thought about moving the tiger away from the mountain so that Ming Shou could not enter the ancestral land smoothly.
However, Mingshou and Sangyan could be said to be inseparable, and he could not think of a perfect way to lure each other away.
A hasty design may leave other flaws, so it is better to look for opportunities in the ancestral land.
Both teams arrived, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Lao Sheng. The atmosphere was quiet and tense.
Gu Chen is curious about the old Sheng Emperor, not only because this test is unexpected, but also because he has heard some legends about him.
It is said that the reason why Emperor Lao Sheng suffered from long-term illness was because he failed in his attack on the Holy Realm, which caused the root cause of his illness.
Otherwise, monks always live long lives, and as emperors have countless elixir resources, how could they become sick?
The so-called Holy Realm refers to the Eight Vehicle Realm, with a Tao power of 100 million.
Although there is only one difference between the Eighth Vehicle Realm and the Seventh Vehicle Realm, they are not comparable at all.
From ninety-nine nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine to one hundred million, although it seems that there is only one difference in power, it is this power that has blocked the path to sainthood for countless heroes and geniuses throughout the ages.
.
Saints need to survive the tribulation of sainthood, and not one out of 10,000 monks in the Seven Vehicle Realm may be able to survive the tribulation and successfully advance to the holy realm.
Therefore, the number of saints is very rare, and they are all powerful figures in any realm of Taoism.
Emperor Lao Sheng once attacked the Holy Realm, which shows that he is a peak-level figure among the monks of the Seven Vehicles Realm. This is not considered weak among the rulers of major dynasties.
If he could successfully become a saint at that time, he could even lead the Dasheng Dynasty to great glory.
It's a pity that he failed. Not only did he permanently lose the possibility of becoming a saint, but he also lost his own body and fell to the point where his life lamp is about to go out.
