Chapter 134 The Big Liar

It seemed that she had noticed that Bai Su's gaze was a little strange.

Gu Xiaoman subconsciously glanced at the spot where she had been standing by Frozen Lake.

"Cough cough…"

Gu Xiaoman smiled embarrassedly, and quickly waved her sleeve, summoning the mental black snakes overflowing from [Yan Meng] back into her sleeve.

"Chi chi chi!"

Accompanied by the annihilation of that constantly spreading black arc ball…

The tense air of Frozen Lake also relaxed.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoman was still as "cunning" as she was five years ago, Bai Su felt a little relieved. The more tricks the little guy had, the safer she would be when going out.

However, his expression was still solemn: "You mentioned Yun Hu just now, do you suspect that he will send someone to assassinate you?"

"It can't be said to be, and it can't be said not to be."

Gu Xiaoman rubbed her brow, her expression a little helpless.

"I just think that if there really is an assassin to assassinate me... then the probability of it coming from Yun Hu's sect is the highest."

She said slowly: "I didn't tell outsiders about my departure from the Source Tower. So if someone really wants to assassinate me, then they must be from Zhongzhou. Only fellow disciples can know and grasp my close movements."

"There are many fellow disciples, why do you guess it's Yun Hu?"

"Would you believe me if I said I was just saying it casually?"

Gu Xiaoman smiled playfully: "Okay, Master, don't ask, let this matter pass... I will properly handle the affairs of Zhongzhou myself."

"..."

Bai Su could only remain silent.

He then asked: "Why did you come to the Tundra?"

This was a good question.

With Gu Xiaoman's status, it was not easy to leave Zhongzhou. She had many places to choose from for this training, but she chose the Tundra. Bai Su didn't believe that this was an accidental choice.

"I haven't seen snow."

Gu Xiaoman answered in a very calm and composed tone: "So I came to the north to take a look."

Bai Su was speechless again. He looked at this little girl with a calm face, and for a moment he couldn't find a point to refute.

Judging from Gu Xiaoman's character.

What she said might be true... She wanted to come to the Tundra to take a look, so she came.

"Just because of this?"

"Just because of this."

Gu Xiaoman paused for two seconds, looked at Bai Su, and said seriously: "I'm going back to Zhongzhou soon, can you take me to the end of the Tundra to take a look?"

In fact, Bai Su also heard Gu Xiaoman's words with the Red Dragon in the communicator earlier.

The Source Tower was summoning her back.

Judging from her direction of travel, she didn't want to pay attention to this recall.

But she could delay it for a while, but not forever.

If there was no news, the Red Dragon would come to the Tundra to find her in person.

"You want to go to the end of the Tundra?" Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "There are many snow mountains there."

"Yes, I want to see those snow mountains."

Gu Xiaoman smiled brightly and said, "I just advanced to the third rank, and [Yan Meng]'s ability doesn't help much with traveling... After working hard for a month, I only reached Frozen Lake."

In fact, she was already walking very fast. The Frozen Lake area was a very deep forbidden area in the Tundra!

"Get on, I'll take you to see... the end of the Tundra."

Bai Su waved his sleeve, and countless electric arcs flew from the void, and the Thunder Realm Walker fell out of thin air!

Gu Xiaoman subconsciously took two steps back. What was in front of her was a rather sturdy and tall armored creature, almost like a mountain. Her memory was very good. When Bai Su summoned the [Thunder Realm Walker] back then, the armored creature's size may have only been half of what it was now.

The Thunder Realm Walker slowly stretched out a hand, signaling the black-shirted girl to step on it.

Gu Xiaoman grinned. She didn't stand on ceremony with Bai Su. She stepped on the palm of the Thunder Realm Walker. There was no anticipated feeling of being filled with lightning, but rather it was quite comfortable. This armored creature restrained all hostility, and the crackling static lightning only exploded around Gu Xiaoman's body, without really touching her. The Thunder Realm Walker carefully placed the girl on his right shoulder, and then repeated the same action, placing his master on his left shoulder.

The next moment.

"Kacha!"

The surface of Frozen Lake shattered.

The Thunder Realm Walker directly leaped into the sky, and swept towards the far east. Wind and snow rushed towards them, all of which were dissipated by Bai Su's domain.

The two flew smoothly.

"Master, I remember that the [Thunder Realm Walker] five years ago didn't look like this..."

Gu Xiaoman clicked her tongue, and she asked with emotion: "What realm are you in now?"

Because she was born later.

When Gu Xiaoman began her extraordinary practice, Bai Su was already close to the top of the mountain.

So in her perception, Bai Su had always been a high mountain.

Whether it was five years ago or five years later, she couldn't see the true strength of her "cheap master".

It was just that this time they met, she vaguely felt that Master Bai Su's strength was awe-inspiring. This was a feeling that she couldn't experience five years ago... This was a taste that only those who had truly opened up extraordinary practice, truly felt the bottleneck on this road, and felt the obstacles, would understand.

Bai Su was the kind of genius who was on a higher level in the eyes of geniuses.

Even in Gu Xiaoman's eyes, it was the same.

"Guess."

Regarding this question, Bai Su just smiled slightly and didn't answer directly.

"You should have already been at the peak of the fourth rank five years ago... Now you should at least be a legendary fourth-rank trans-realm expert, right?"

Gu Xiaoman thought for a while, and reported a conservative estimate.

Bai Su lowered his eyes and looked at the scenery under the clouds. He still didn't answer, but changed the topic and pointed downwards.

"Do you see that lake shrouded in blue light?"

Gu Xiaoman looked in the direction that Bai Su was pointing.

Because it was thousands of meters away from the ground at the moment, and the [Thunder Realm Walker] was still constantly climbing, so the blue lake didn't look big at the moment, only the size of a palm, but in reality... this lake might be close to a hundred miles.

Gu Xiaoman's expression became solemn.

When she looked at the blue light, [Yan Meng] conveyed a message to her that it was dangerous and should not be approached.

"What is this blue light?" She couldn't figure it out.

"It's a barrier."

Bai Su said concisely: "It's a 'barrier' built by the Li family, deliberately sealing off the lake. A Sky Sheath bomb was detonated here six years ago, and so far, the area within the barrier is in a state of 'life extinction'. The lake is filled with countless Sky Sheath fission fragments, so extraordinary people are strictly prohibited from entering."

After Gu Xiaoman entered the Source Tower, she obtained very high permissions.

She opened her wisdom very early. Under the guidance of the Red Dragon in these years, she also read a lot of files, and naturally knew about things like Sky Sheath weapons.

As soon as Bai Su mentioned the Sky Sheath weapon, she murmured, "Is that Sky Sheath weapon called Zhītóng?"

"Yes, Zhītóng."

Bai Su murmured softly: "Zhītóng's power shattered a hundred miles of Frozen Lake. This amount of weapon is enough to destroy the world. Even now, I still don't have the confidence to survive that kind of explosion..."

As long as they don't become gods, no matter how evolved the extraordinary person's body is, they can't resist Sky Sheath fission.

Zhītóng's explosion was actually a dimensionality reduction strike on the level of life!

But back then, there was one person who survived the Sky Sheath strike, and he was only at the third rank.

Speaking of this, the two fell silent at the same time.

There was a name that was not mentioned, but it had already entered the hearts of the two.

Gu Xiaoman had read the files from back then. She knew about the joint pursuit of the Snow Cage fugitive by Central City and Changye back then, and also knew that Gu Shen had survived the Zhītóng explosion.

The Thunder Realm Walker slowly flew in the air, and the blue lake was left behind, gradually becoming invisible.

After a long time, Gu Xiaoman spoke in a hoarse voice.

"So... how did he survive the explosion back then?"

"An unsolved mystery."

Bai Su smiled self-deprecatingly: "Except for Gu Shen, no one knows the answer... Looking at it now, this can already be called a 'miracle'."

Gu Xiaoman stopped talking, thought again and again, and finally stopped speaking.

She really wanted to say, if that person could survive the Zhītóng explosion, then why couldn't he survive the Sangzhou Cave explosion?

In the first two years after returning to Zhongzhou, she devoted herself to hard training, practicing in the perfect dream created for her by the Source Tower, and didn't ask about external affairs.

It was just that some things couldn't be hidden.

The news of Gu Shen's death spread throughout the five continents, and even if the Source Tower was capable, it couldn't hide it forever.

So at the end of the second year, Gu Xiaoman learned of this "bad news".

However, at that time, the five continents had completely returned to peace, and even the investigation team in Changye had rested for a while, because there were no new clues, so the investigation team could not continue to advance the investigation.

The world operates the same way without anyone.

Most people still remember Gu Shen's name.

A small number of people remember that such an "S-level genius" had appeared, creating many miracles, which were worth remembering... or rather, mourning.

But everyone remembered that this guy was dead. No matter how talented he was, he was just a corpse.

This world is like this. Looking at the long river of history, even if they are as powerful as Gu Changzhi, as great as the Iron Dome Emperor of the Northern Continent, the final legacy they leave to the world is nothing more than a handful of yellow earth and a few portraits.

"In the past five years, I have been to the Ice Sea many times."

Bai Su said softly: "I hope to see the scene after the Frozen Lake Zhītóng explosion, to see Gu Shen appear in front of me... This guy can always create miracles, maybe he's not dead?"

Gu Xiaoman asked: "Have you found any useful information after going to the Ice Sea so many times?"

"No."

Bai Su said: "If you have the opportunity for a separate trial next time, don't go to the Ice Sea. There's nothing there. Even if you search very carefully, you won't find someone's remains. At most, you can only find land fragments after the Sangzhou Cave island was broken, and mutated beast spirit excrement compounds."

This was not a funny joke.

Gu Xiaoman was a little helpless. She looked at the man in white next to her and said seriously: "Master, you are not suitable for telling this kind of joke... But I did plan to go to the Ice Sea before."

The speed of the Thunder Realm Walker gradually slowed down, and it gradually descended.

The clouds were parted by the sunlight.

Gu Xiaoman's eyes shone brightly. She saw a magnificent white world. The end of the Tundra was countless towering snow peaks. There were brilliant auroras flashing here, reflecting and refracting on the white snow layer, appearing sacred and dignified.

"I have been practicing quietly in the Tundra for a long time. The scenery here is very beautiful, and not many people come."

The Thunder Realm Walker found a snow mountain and landed.

Bai Su stood on the top of the mountain and smiled softly: "Generally, when people from Changye are sent to find me, they can't find this kind of place... This is the best quiet place in the world. If someone wants to hide any secrets in this kind of place, then they will definitely not be discovered."

"Yeah..."

Gu Xiaoman stood on the top of the snow mountain, looking at the beautiful scenery she had never seen in her life, and was stunned.

Bai Su raised his hand.

The Thunder Realm Walker dissipated, but the domain also spread.

The extraordinary aura above the snow mountain was completely locked.

"So, this kind of place is the real place where you can tell 'secrets'."

Bai Su stood with his hands behind his back and came to Gu Xiaoman's side, and said: "If there's anything you want to say, say it all now... You can also choose to hold it back, but no matter what, I don't believe you really came to the Tundra just to see the snow."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned.

"If I guessed correctly, you want to see the Frozen Lake where Zhītóng exploded."

Bai Su laughed in a low voice: "You want to see how terrifying the power of the Sky Sheath weapon [Zhītóng] is after the explosion, and whether it can be compared with Sangzhou Cave... The reason why you came to the Tundra is actually to find out the cause of Gu Shen's death back then."

After a moment of silence, the little guy raised her head: "...Yes."

She didn't back down, nor did she hide.

"I don't believe Gu Shen is dead. I saw the [Zhītóng] explosion recorded in the file... So I want to come to the Tundra to take a look."

Gu Xiaoman's voice was very low at first, but soon she raised her voice: "There's nothing shameful about me doing this!"

Her true intention of traveling east and north was exposed, and she was a little annoyed for a while, but in fact she was more aggrieved.

"After entering the Source Tower, I can't openly enter the Eastern Continent. I can't go to Changye, nor can I go to Dadu... Even if I travel alone, the news of leaving Zhongzhou can't be announced to the public."

"The only place I can step into if I want to come to the Eastern Continent is the Tundra!"

As she spoke, her eyes became a little moist.

"I still remember the scene when we parted five years ago. He told me that there would be another meeting..."

"He also told me that Changye is a very, very beautiful ancient city. After I leave the Southern Continent, he must take me to see it. It will be a very beautiful new home..."

Gu Xiaoman clenched her sleeves tightly.

She was still wearing the Source Armor that Gu Shen gave her.

She remembered the good things Gu Shen did for her.

She remembered it every day.

Because she was in the darkness, there was such a person who pushed open the door of light for her, so every ray of light she saw afterwards would remind her of the person who pushed the door open in the first place.

She remembered every word, every sentence, every promise Gu Shen said.

But Gu Shen died in Sangzhou Cave...

These promises were like the lies of a liar.

Gu Xiaoman raised her hands, expanded them around her mouth, and shouted at the top of her lungs at the snow-capped mountains in front of her.

"Gu Shen! You big liar!"
