Chapter 1999 - 1579: Mysterious Man, Watching!

"Forbidden! An existence that must not be touched! Elder Sister, trust me, one day you will understand the mystery within. Now, come with me!" Lige shook his head upon hearing this, knowing this was all he knew, some things the Heavenly Master would never say.

"No, no, no! Lige, didn’t you say that your Heavenly Master is very powerful? Why can’t even he kill Gu Changsheng? Why? If he can’t kill Gu Changsheng now, how can you guarantee he’ll kill Gu Changsheng in the future? I hate her, I want her to die a terrible death!" Mu Wanxuan was still hesitating, shook off Lige’s hand, and said anxiously.

"Elder Sister..." Hearing this, Lige’s face instantly showed a trace of deep pain, "Elder Sister, how long do you plan to be stubborn amidst hatred? The Heavenly Master is the supreme existence of the Heavenly Kingdom, but as I said, this continent has an existence that restrains the Heavenly Master. If that person is not completely annihilated, even the Heavenly Master dares not step on this continent! Why can’t you be patient for a little while? It’s soon! Very soon! Gu Changsheng has already touched the edge of the forbidden, everything is now irreparable!"

Saying this, Lige stood up, stumbled to stabilize his posture, looked down at Mu Wanxuan sitting in the wheelchair, and said painfully, "Elder Sister, this time, whether you agree or not, I will take you away. I can’t leave you here to die! Originally, I didn’t want to scare you, but now, I can’t care so much anymore, in the Star Innate Tower, Gu Changsheng has already sensed my existence. Remaining on this continent has endless consequences, and could ruin the great work of the Heavenly Master, I cannot delay any longer!"

Hearing this, Mu Wanxuan’s face showed a trace of uncertainty and surprise.

But on Lige’s face, there was a look of determination and finality, looking at Mu Wanxuan, he said solemnly, "I will let you see now, the power of the Heavenly Master!"

As he spoke, Mu Wanxuan suddenly knelt on both knees, producing a loud bang.

Facing the guest room door, her hands slowly lifted as well, her mouth muttering...

"The sun that never sets over the sea, the eternal Divine Residence of the Heavenly Kingdom, please show your faith to your followers..."

As Lige’s words landed, a point of the color of Holy Gold rose slowly from Lige’s head...

Gu Changsheng was not here at this time. If she were here, she would have recognized it immediately, this faint holy golden color, was too familiar to her!

A power not belonging to humans, a color not belonging to humans...

This trace of holy golden color is incredibly similar to the mark on Gu Changsheng’s forehead of Manman!

Only, more pure!

As that trace of faint golden color rose from Lige’s head, Mu Wanxuan only felt that her eyes instantly brightened, and in the guest room, as if in an instant, the light was boundless, swept by endless light and pressure...

"Lige, my disciple..." A dignified voice followed, seemingly coming from the void, from the end of the heavens.

"Heavenly Master!" Upon hearing this voice, Lige immediately placed both hands on his chest and bowed his head.

While Mu Wanxuan, was stunned, looking at that sudden appearance of an existence like the sun in front of Lige...

This...

How could someone be speaking? Who’s speaking?

Aside from this existence like the sun, Mu Wanxuan saw no one at all!

No one!

In this moment, Mu Wanxuan suddenly felt her understanding overturned, as if she had entered into a whimsical world, her whole being was startled with the pressure of the light, her wits scattered.

"Heavenly Master, the disciple in the northwest of the Northern Mongolian sensed the existence of forbidden power, and Gu Changsheng is the woman chosen by the descendants of the Ancient Country, she has already touched the forbidden. The Heavenly Master indicated for the disciple to return soon, only that woman and my Elder Sister have deep hatred, Elder Sister insists on killing her for revenge..." Saying this, Lige’s face showed a trace of panic and fear.

For her own selfishness troubling the Heavenly Master, even if she is the disciple of the Heavenly Master, she deserves to die.

"The one chosen by the descendants of the Ancient Country... That ant-like small clan’s person is indeed foolish to the extreme..." The voice in the sunlight coldly and disdainfully echoed, "However, the woman he chose is a bit interesting. I brought the Nine-Layer Heavens Celestial Tribulation, and she survived, hehe... perhaps she has a close relationship with that one..."

Hearing this, Lige, kneeling on the ground, immediately raised his head, full of surprise and uncertainty and said, "The one even the Heavenly Master fears?"

"Indeed!"

"Who is it?"

"I don’t know... precisely because I don’t know, I can only watch quietly. I would like to see who has such power to overturn the great cycle of reincarnation and escape the great rules set by the Ancestral God!" The voice in the sunlight, with a bit of unwillingness and frustration, spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lige’s face turned grave as well, although she didn’t understand what the Heavenly Master meant, she wisely didn’t ask further.

Mu Wanxuan was even more perplexed, but she seemed to know that the interesting person in the voice probably referred to Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng!

That is the person Mu Wanxuan wishes dead!

"That woman, her name is Gu Changsheng! Heavenly Master, you are supreme, Lige said you are very formidable, can you kill her?" Hence, Mu Wanxuan immediately forgot her inner panic, stepped forward, and impatiently asked.

"I cannot, I have already struck once, but she escaped. She likely has ties with an old acquaintance of mine; her fate is beyond my control, perhaps even beyond the control of the Heavenly Dao!" A voice came from within the sun’s brilliance, still commanding, carrying a hint of contemplation.

"But Lige said that I can get revenge! You will help me avenge!" Upon hearing this, Mu Wanxuan became anxious. She did not understand the meaning within the words, but she could largely discern that Gu Changsheng isn’t easily killed.

How could she possibly be willing?

"Hehe... the grand play has just begun, why rush? Sit with me and watch the storms unfold—isn’t that better? I’m curious too, about what my unknown acquaintance actually did..." As he spoke, the sunlight suddenly intensified, and a vague hand extended from it, reaching towards the place where Lige and Mu Wanxuan were...

The hand was so large and imposing that it was impossible to evade!

By the time Mu Wanxuan reacted, she already felt as though her body was beyond her control!

"Lige, my disciple, return!"

A voice echoed, and the massive hand took hold of Lige and Mu Wanxuan, disappearing into the sunlight!

Everything happened in an instant!

Once the sunlight faded away, the guest room no longer bore any trace of Lige and Mu Wanxuan, as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, within the Divine Mountain of Qilian Mountain, inside Smelting City, in the Mercenary Alliance Main Tower, Gu Changsheng awaited the announcement of hire orders, yet suddenly felt as if she had sensed something, abruptly standing up from her seat, looking up at the roof of the Main Tower, furrowing her brows, and softly calling, "Who is there!"

"What’s wrong?" Almost the moment Gu Changsheng stood up, Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue followed, anxiously questioning.

"I seem to feel that someone is spying on me..." Gu Changsheng felt somewhat baffled, yet her expression remained entirely serious.

Gu Changsheng always had sharp senses, and she trusted her intuition.

Someone was spying on her!

Moreover, from a significantly long distance!

A purple figure quickly flitted past Gu Changsheng’s side; Zhou Mu flew out of the Mercenary Alliance Main Tower almost instantly, which made everyone present involuntarily glance sideways.

But after scanning from the highest vantage, Zhou Mu returned with furrowed brows, "I didn’t find anyone suspicious..."

"You won’t find them, that person seems to be very far from us..." Gu Changsheng nodded at this, speaking softly.

As to why, even Gu Changsheng didn’t know, it was just an intuition...

Now, far away at the ocean’s edge, where the sea meets the sky, a slender figure floated above the waves, drifting with them, surrounded by shimmering gold, while his hand remained outstretched in a grasping posture, his eyes bewilderedly staring into the distance, his face shrouded in the light of Holy Gold, indistinct...

"Hehe... quite sharp indeed, able to sense my gaze. However, I still fail to see your face clearly, such an intriguing human..."

As he spoke, the slender figure numbly clenched his hand, where two silhouette figures appeared in his palm. Without even glancing at them, he flicked his long sleeve, turned, and left...

With merely a single stride, winds rose and waves surged across the sea, yet the slender figure had already strode thousands of miles afar, vanishing at the horizon where the sea meets the sky...

As if he had never appeared at all...

...

Meanwhile, within the Mercenary Alliance, Elder Jin, who had been looking for an opportunity, saw the unusual behavior of Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu, and discreetly gestured to Jin Luoyi, his old face beaming with schadenfreude.

Jin Luoyi understood, promptly stood up, pointed at Gu Changsheng, and raised his voice, "What nonsense are you spouting about strange supernatural forces? This is the Mercenary Alliance; where could there be suspicious people? It seems the information I received was indeed correct!"

Jin Luoyi’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention, and the mercenaries waiting for hire orders in the Mercenary Alliance Main Tower, along with the employers present, immediately turned to look at them.

"Young Master Jin, what information did you receive? Is it about these experts?" After yesterday’s battle, Gu Changsheng and the others had already made a name for themselves in Smelting City, so someone immediately asked with great interest.

"It’s about the so-called expert you all see! But, once you learn it, I fear you won’t think this expert is that impressive!" Pressed for information, Jin Luoyi’s demeanor turned even more arrogant, looking at Gu Changsheng proudly...
