Chapter 686 Thank You, Brother Gu, for Ending Him

"Thank you, Brother Gu, for ending him."

Bai Xiu spoke, and the White family's extraordinary individuals, who were previously hostile, were stunned.

A moment later.

Bai Xiu recounted the events in the snow cave... then led the group to the corpse of "Mr. Jin." At this point, a series of conspiracies regarding Bai Zesheng's betrayal of the clan and collusion with the Wine God Seat finally came to light.

The clan members who were initially furious were now silent.

Anger... gradually turned into a strange emotion.

For them, it was an unbelievable revelation.

For so many years, Bai Zesheng had been regarded as a role model within the clan.

This elder was very fond of the younger generation of the Bai family. His ability to become the Second Elder of the Council of Elders was not only because he had nurtured a "Bai Xiu." Many young people in the current team had received his favor. It could be said that if there wasn't irrefutable evidence of his collusion with the Wine God Seat, almost no one would have believed... that the Second Elder would betray the clan.

"This matter... must be reported to the Clan Head."

An elder sighed softly.

He looked at Bai Zesheng's shattered body, with some sympathy in his eyes, but not much. More than that, there was sorrow, anger, and hatred.

If Bai Zesheng had been in cahoots with the Tower of Origin all along!

Then the "Yinta" case a year ago was also a sham. Many people regarded him as a selfless and sacrificing hero!

"The Clan Head... has completely lost contact after entering the mausoleum."

Another elder said in a low voice, "It's probably difficult for us to establish contact with him."

"If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Bai Xiaochi is currently in the Inner Mausoleum Disaster Zone."

Gu Shen suddenly spoke.

"Inner Mausoleum Disaster Zone?" Most people were still confused.

Gu Shen explained the current changes in Qingzhong Mausoleum.

"So that's how it is... So we are in Mr. Gu Changzhi's Great Cold Disaster Zone?"

"No wonder it's so vast and boundless, difficult to see the end!"

The entire Qingzhong was shrouded in a Disaster Zone!

The Outer Mausoleum was still manageable. This was the outermost edge of Qingzhong Mausoleum. The further away from the Inner Mausoleum, the lower the danger after being covered by the Great Cold Disaster Zone... But the Inner Mausoleum was different!

When Gu Shen was comprehending the array patterns, he vaguely saw a glimmer of dim light in the Inner Mausoleum's Mystic Realm.

There seemed to be a powerful force there, preventing the Qingzhong array patterns from spying... and Old Master Gu Qilin, whom he had been trying to find since entering the mausoleum, should be in the Inner Mausoleum Disaster Zone!

After comprehending the array patterns, most of the Mystic Realms in the Outer Mausoleum were "seen" by Gu Shen.

With the help of the array pattern reflections in the real world, he could see the spiritual world that was a snow-covered fog to ordinary people... but he did not see Li Qingsui, the little girl who had entered the mausoleum with Chu Ling.

One possibility was that the Great Cold Disaster Zone was too large.

Another possibility...

Was that the heads of the Five Great Families had all been transported to the Inner Mausoleum!

……

……

For Gu Shen, after killing Xu Yan and Bai Zesheng and forcibly reading their mental memories, most of the fog shrouding the mausoleum had been dispelled.

And the rest had also come to light.

Beneath Changye, a complex web had formed... revolving around power, influence, and desire, many people had become attached to the lofty Wine God Seat of the Tower of Origin.

And the golden gate of Qingzhong had been opened wide.

These people had decided to take this opportunity to subvert Changye!

This plan was only a step away from success. These people's calculations were not complicated, and could even be said to be very simple... because they only needed to carry the God Seat's token to wreak havoc.

Unfortunately, they had overlooked one thing!

That he had been diligently cultivating the Qingzhong array patterns day and night for the past year!

Even if the Tomb Keeper had fallen.

There was still someone who could control these two thousand-odd Qingzhong Great Arrays!

"There's still one person left... Gu Lushen..."

Gu Shen murmured in his heart.

The heads of the Five Great Families had all disappeared and did not seem to be in the Mystic Realms of the Outer Mausoleum.

And Gu Lushen had not appeared on the snowfield either!

In Gu Shen's heart, Gu Lushen was the most daunting existence among these Wine God Seat believers... Ever since their meeting in the mountain mist, he had always felt that the man's words were meaningful.

"Mr. Gu, how do we enter the Inner Mausoleum Mystic Realm?" An elder asked sincerely, "If Qingzhong Mausoleum is in trouble... we also want to do our part!"

It was already certain.

The Wine God Seat... was in the Inner Mausoleum!

He was the culprit behind the changes in the mausoleum, but the extraordinary individuals of the Bai family did not retreat. This Disaster Zone came from Mr. Gu Changzhi, indicating that the wills of the two God Seats were at least in a stalemate.

This place was Changye!

How could they retreat?

The battle of the God Seats was vast and boundless, as unfathomable as two giant mountains crushing against each other... But if the battle was truly fierce, and reached the final stage of wrestling, then their strength might be the last straw that tilted the victory!

The fighting spirit of these people made Gu Shen feel somewhat gratified.

But it was only gratification.

Because in the battle of giants, the strength of a single straw was too weak.

Not to mention them... even he, who had mastered all the array patterns, could hardly truly help.

"Miss Bai Lu, I would like to trouble you to find the other scattered extraordinary individuals on this snowfield... We need to gather our strength." Gu Shen said softly, while extending two fingers.

At his fingertips, a wisp of black spiritual radiance condensed.

The Great Cold Disaster Zone compressed the outflow of spiritual power.

And Gu Shen was using his array pattern comprehension to copy the "Qingzhong Mausoleum" map in his mind.

"This is..."

Bai Lu was slightly stunned.

After Gu Shen tapped his finger, she felt a heat in her brow, and then the mist in front of her seemed to become much clearer. The road she had come from and the road she had not yet walked were spreading out in her spiritual sea.

"A map, although not complete, is enough to find the scattered extraordinary individuals."

Gu Shen smiled. He had just finished speaking.

When suddenly a series of data poured into his mind.

This snowfield map, which lit up nearly 90%, and some dark, mist-shrouded areas, were slowly dissipating... Someone had completed the comprehension of the missing part of the Qingzhong Mausoleum map and transmitted it to his mind.

"Chu Ling?"

Gu Shen was surprised and delighted.

"It's me, I have completed the comprehension of the mausoleum's array patterns."

A soft and ethereal voice echoed in his heart.

Gu Shen noticed that the originally weak and shaky spiritual link between him and Chu Ling seemed to have become strong again. It was impossible for the two people's spiritual power to achieve a quantum leap in such a short time, so the only possibility was... that the obstruction of this mausoleum had decreased.

Chu Ling had mastered a large number of array patterns and cleared a large amount of fog.

Although what she uploaded was a incomplete array pattern of the mausoleum.

But what she truly comprehended... must be much more than that!

Gu Shen subconsciously asked, "How much have you comprehended about the array patterns of Qingzhong Mausoleum?"

"All of it."

Chu Ling's answer was very simple, only two words.

But... extremely shocking!

In the past year, when Gu Shen was practicing the art of array patterns, he would always think of such a question. If one day Chu Ling came to this world, could touch the ancient characters, and comprehend them, how long would it take her to learn these array patterns?

He would need a year.

Chu Ling would need a month, a week?

Perhaps... even shorter!

But Gu Shen did not expect that only a short day had passed, and Chu Ling had already mastered all the array patterns in the mausoleum. For the [Deep Sea], the ancient characters carrying their own spiritual artistic conception were incomprehensible and unfeelable things!

But for the God Embryo who was born.

The biggest problem of "feeling" was solved at the moment of birth.

So... she touched, she learned, she mastered.

All of this came naturally.

Naturally.

If... there was one person in this world who was born suitable to be the "Tomb Keeper" in charge of the Qingzhong array patterns, then that person must not be Qianye Master, but Chu Ling at this moment.

"Wait a moment... Miss Bai, please stay."

Gu Shen called out to Bai Lu, and in the latter's slightly confused gaze, tapped his finger again.

A complete and extremely clear map of the outer mausoleum appeared in Bai Lu's mind, covering the previous one.

Bai Lu was very intelligent. She had guessed earlier that the completeness of the map in her mind was related to the degree of mastery of the Qingzhong array patterns... Gu Shen had worked hard for more than a year to master most of it, and it would be difficult to unlock the last small part in such a short time.

So, this map was transmitted by the second person.

For some reason, Bai Lu felt a little lost in her heart. She smiled and asked, "Mr. Gu, was this complete map comprehended by 'her'?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen did not deny it. At this moment, he could finally announce Chu Ling's identity to the world.

He smiled and said, "Yes, her name is Chu Ling."

"Chu... Ling..." Bai Lu smiled distractedly. "A very beautiful name. Is she the one I saw under the Ninghe Bridge?"

In the Bai family's extraordinary team, there was a confused look on their faces.

Although Bai Lu had been in closed-door training in the clan hall this year.

But she spread a very important message.

Many people knew... that the second divination art disciple accepted by the Qingzhong Tomb Keeper was peerless and amazed the world. This news was spread by Bai Lu.

Many people were curious about how amazing that divination art female disciple was.

Bai Lu only said.

She had seen her once on the Ninghe Bridge and could not forget her.

"Naturally."

Gu Shen nodded and said gently, "If you want to see her after this turmoil is over, there will be a chance."

Bai Lu shook her head and smiled, "The big picture comes first."

She led the team and swept out of the snowfield.

But Bai Xiu did not leave with her.

Little Sleeve stood in the wind and snow, and waited until those extraordinary individuals had left before he spoke.

"I thought there was no second divination art disciple in Qingzhong."

He turned his head slightly.

There was no sharp meaning reflected in his clear eyes. This was just a very plain greeting.

But... Bai Xiu's intuition was very accurate.

The first time he met Gu Shen, although he could not see through the fog, he vaguely felt that there was someone standing on the other side of the mountain.

A lonely person.

This year, during his closed-door practice, he also paid attention to the news about Gu Shen... Of course, he knew about the intimate relationship between Gu Shen and the second divination art female disciple, who was rumored to be amazing and peerless.

If there was really an amazing woman in Qingzhong Mausoleum who Gu Shen missed so much.

Then Gu Shen should not have been so lonely at that time.

Of course, all of this was just Bai Xiu's feeling.

"There wasn't one before, but now there is." Gu Shen smiled and said, "Everyone should have some secrets, shouldn't they, Brother Bai?"

His words also had a meaningful tone.

Only those who had fought with the [Apostle] would know how difficult it was to defeat an extraordinary individual with the "Power of God."

Gu Shen had the power of more than two thousand Qingzhong array patterns around him to win this battle.

But what about Bai Xiu?

Bai Xiu did not have such a killer weapon... And he fought two enemies alone, killing the assassin who held the token of the Wine God Seat and Bai Zesheng, who was a Great Realm higher than him!

"Those who can burst out with boundless flames often carry the weight of eternal darkness."

Bai Xiu said very softly.

He looked at the end of this snowfield, and smiled rarely. "When I was very young, Bai Zesheng told me that this was what God Seat Gu Changzhi said. I was shocked by it and kept it deeply in my heart. Walking to this point, everyone thinks that I am radiant, but only I know that I am more dazzling than they think... and even heavier."

The lightning ancient general who shattered Bai Zesheng's divine power with one punch was his most powerful trump card and his biggest secret.

So far, everyone who had seen this vision was dead.

Without exception.

So... when he used it, he had the intention to kill.

Bai Zesheng must die.

However, the current situation was a bit delicate. Bai Zesheng died in Gu Shen's hands, and Gu Shen's blazing fire could plunder people's spirits. He read the conspiracy of Xu Yan and the Tower of Origin, so did he read the pictures in Bai Zesheng's mind?

"I didn't read the memories of Bai Zesheng fighting with you... I deleted them directly."

Gu Shen said lightly.

He was telling the truth. The blazing fire stirred up the old man's spirit. There were also some scattered memory fragments, which were some uncontrollable memories of Bai Zesheng before his death.

If he wanted to, he could read it.

But Gu Shen vaguely saw a corner.

Those memories... were related to Bai Xiu.

Some were childhood images of Bai Xiu being brought out of Jiangbei, because he didn't read them carefully, so they were very blurry. It recorded the "story" of Bai Zesheng and Bai Xiu, an old and a young man, watching and redeeming each other for more than ten years... If the ending was not ended by the assassination in the snow cave, then this memory would be really beautiful.

It was just a pity.

For Gu Shen, who knew the ending in advance, after seeing this memory, he did not choose to read it, but chose to delete it.

How Bai Xiu killed the two extraordinary individuals with the "Power of God" was very important to many people.

But it was not that important to Gu Shen.

Just as he said before.

Everyone should have some secrets.

He was like this, and Bai Xiu was no exception.
