Chapter 2005 - 1584: Imperial Brother, You Are Destined to Be Enemies!

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

"Naturally, the truth!" Gu Changsheng immediately nodded upon hearing this. Wasn’t it obvious? Damn it, she was already being despised by Alliance Leader Yong Qing, wasn’t she?

"Too much is as bad as too little!" Zhou Mu pondered for a moment before uttering these four words!

On the side, Yuan Bao, upon hearing his master’s words, was immediately embarrassed!

The way his master said it, how could it be so subtle? What does ’too much is as bad as too little’ even mean? His mistress’s makeup was simply too dark, wasn’t it? This was a problem that ’too much is as bad as too little’ couldn’t solve!

"Did you see that? That’s what you call being whipped," Yuan Bao tilted his head, confidently speaking to the Black Man Duo Shu.

There was no helping it; his master’s behavior was beyond salvation. Yuan Bao had no illusions anymore.

The Black Man Duo Shu glanced at Yuan Bao upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over his own master, who was quietly slipping away while everyone was distracted!

At this moment, Shi Wujue indeed took advantage of the chaos in the main building to silently slip away.

Meanwhile, as Elder Jin went berserk, Jin Luoyi was dumbfounded, and the two women and one man with veiled hats also slowly retreated!

Outside the main building, people continuously gathered inside because the Mercenary Alliance’s hall elder had suddenly gone mad. This incident was indeed causing quite a commotion!

Out of everyone’s sight, Shi Wujue, dressed in black brocade, hid in the shadows. He turned back, his sharp eyes looking at the casually poised woman in a veiled hat who approached him from behind. In a voice low and repressed with fury, he spoke, "Go back! This is not a place you should be!"

"Hehe..." The veiled woman chuckled indifferently at his words. The wind lifted her hat, revealing the distinct curve of her chin. Under the veil, her eyes were slightly raised, gazing provocatively at Shi Wujue before her, her lips curving up as she said, "Go back? This isn’t a place I should be? Imperial Brother, then why are you here?"

This leading veiled woman was none other than Fufeng Tianlan!

Landuoer received the news earlier, saying someone was coming directly from the Royal City. Gu Changsheng originally thought this person might have been sent by someone from the Sand Sea. However, she didn’t know that the one coming was none other than Fufeng Tianlan, with whom she had a deep-seated hatred!

"Fufeng Tianlan! How this Hall is run is none of your business! Listen to this Hall’s command and leave Divine Mount Qilian immediately, return to the Royal City, and wait for the method to unlock the Secret Realm Key. If you dare sabotage this Hall’s grand plans, don’t blame this Hall for becoming ruthless, leaving you dead without a grave!" Shi Wujue said, a harsh glint flashing across his face, continuing in a low voice.

"Ruthless? Leaving me dead without a grave? Haha..." Fufeng Tianlan chuckled disdainfully at his words, then looked directly at Shi Wujue without yielding, saying, "Imperial Brother, the sinister nature of the Master of Linyuan City is known to the world, but to use it against me is rather dismissive, isn’t it? Can you kill me? Do you dare kill me? Yes, you can accomplish me, long have I been prepared, but if you kill me, even if that lowly Gu Changsheng manages to open the Secret Realm, so what?"

"In the Ancient Wilderness Times, women were revered, yet you were born a man. Among the Ancient Country Royal Family, besides my blood, no one else can open the Divine Demise Land. Imperial Brother, do you think I’m afraid of you killing me? Haha..."

Saying this, Fufeng Tianlan’s eyes flashed with madness as she continued in a deep voice, "Imperial Brother, it’s you who forgot the responsibility as the Ancient Country Royal Family! Not I! You’ve been so enchanted by that lowly Gu Changsheng that you’ve forgotten what you’re doing! You’ve also pushed our Ancient Country to a dead end! What right do you have to rebuke me? What right do you have to command me?"

"You shut up!" Shi Wujue immediately growled upon hearing this.

Simultaneously, a sinister look appeared in his eyes, and his figure flickered as his long fingers precisely and accurately grasped Fufeng Tianlan’s neck.

The sudden suffocation caused Fufeng Tianlan’s toes to slightly curl, but she lifted her neck, allowing Shi Wujue to hold her, not stepping back an inch, "Why shouldn’t I speak? What, are you afraid of me saying too much? Haha... Imperial Brother, don’t forget, though you are the King of the Ancient Country, I am the only royal woman of the Ancient Country, the Palace Master of the Moon God Palace!"

"Imperial Brother, don’t force me. Finding the way to unlock the Divine Demise Land is the only way to unravel the mystery of our Ancient Country. As descendants of the Ancient Country, we cannot interfere, but Gu Changsheng can help us. However, if there’s even a slim chance, we cannot rely on others! I want the Cold Iron Key! I also want the Key to unlock the Divine Demise Land! And you... I want you too!"

Saying this, Fufeng Tianlan slowly raised her hand, knocking away Shi Wujue’s hand that was constraining her neck, arrogantly declaring, "Imperial Brother, don’t forget, we have an engagement. I am rightfully your fiancée! You insist on playing with Gu Changsheng, I won’t mind, but the things I want to do were all arranged by you beforehand, you can’t back out now!"

As his hand was knocked aside by Fufeng Tianlan, a look of defeat flashed across Shi Wujue’s face, the veins on the back of his hand throbbing. At this moment, he truly wanted to kill Fufeng Tianlan!

Kill her!

But he couldn’t!

Just as Fufeng Tianlan said, everything was arranged by him; it was his own moves that set everything on the board...

And Fufeng Tianlan, as the only remaining woman of the Ancient Country Royal Family, she cannot die, not before the Divine Demise Land is opened!

"Fufeng Tianlan, don’t force this palace, don’t force this palace..." Shi Wujue lowered his eyes, his snow-white hair hiding his pale face.

"Imperial Brother, it’s not me who is forcing you! It’s you who are forcing me! You are forcing our Ancient Country! You have forgotten who you are! You are our king of the Ancient Country! How many years of our ancestors’ expectations do you carry on your shoulders? Why don’t you think about the countless young graves in our Sand Sea? Why don’t you think about the days where our ancestors lived neither like humans nor wolves? Imperial Brother, it’s you who are forcing us! Forcing me! I hate Gu Changsheng because she truly is hateful! But, I have not forgotten that I am a member of the Ancient Country Royal Family!"

"Imperial Brother, wake up, don’t forget who you are, and don’t force me! Otherwise, I can only use the power of the Goddess Palace to compete with you for the position of the King of the Ancient Country! Imperial Brother, I want Gu Changsheng to live a fate worse than death, and you can’t stop me. Everything I do is arranged by you. If you want to regret, have you asked the Ancient Country Clansmen if they allow it?"

"Once the bow is drawn there’s no turning back, Imperial Brother, you can no longer turn back! Your admiration, your love, will become the burial objects of your wisdom! Everything we are doing now, it’s all calculated by you beforehand, isn’t it? Our Ancient Country’s most wise and powerful king..."

"Shut up! This palace tells you to shut up! Did you hear me?" Shi Wujue heard these words, and a trace of madness flashed in his narrowed eyes.

Yes, all of this was arranged by him beforehand!

It was he who set up this grand game, using this world as chess pieces, using Gu Changsheng as bait...

But he regretted it!

He had long regretted it!

He didn’t want to continue like this, he didn’t want to harm Gu Changsheng, but how could he turn back? Could he still turn back?

Caught in a dilemma, with things having developed to the current state, he was already in a situation where there’s no way forward or back, stepping forward leads to a cliff, stepping back, there are countless ravines behind...

In Shi Wujue’s seemingly mad growl, Fufeng Tianlan, with his two subordinates, stepped back step by step, under the veiled hat, his face full of schadenfreude, with a sighing tone, "Imperial Brother, you and Gu Changsheng are destined to have no ending! You are destined to be enemies, from beginning to end, always standing on opposite sides, locked in an endless conflict! This is your destiny, and it is also our destiny! I don’t care whether you love her or not, but I care whether she cares about you or not. Now it seems, she truly treats you as her own, which is why wherever she goes, she lets you accompany her. How could I let her get her wish?"

"Imperial Brother, don’t forget, you are the biggest manipulator behind the scenes against Gu Changsheng! And you are my fiancé! Haha..."

At this point, Fufeng Tianlan chuckled, turned, and walked away quickly.

Behind her, the two people, a man and a woman, both wearing veiled hats, glanced at Shi Wujue, then immediately followed...

As people of the Ancient Country, they follow the Royal Family, without choice!

However, their wise and powerful king, at such a critical moment, hesitated, making them suddenly feel lost...

Where will their Ancient Country go? Where will it lead to?

Is their king right? Or is Fufeng Tianlan who holds grudges but always follows the king’s original plans right?

They don’t know, and they have no choice. All they can do is follow, even unto death!

This is their Ancient Country’s destiny, generation after generation, blood bond with the Royal Family, life and death intertwined!

In the face of life and death, they also have no choice!

After Fufeng Tianlan left, Shi Wujue weakly leaned against the corner of the wall, his tall figure slowly slid down, his ten fingers gradually embraced his head, letting his snow-white long hair instantly become disheveled...

No choice!

None of them have a choice now!

But he regretted it!

If time could go back, he’d rather let the Ancient Country Clansmen drown in endless fate than drag Gu Changsheng into this muddy water!

Standing as opposite enemies, the biggest manipulator behind the scenes, locked in endless conflict...

Every word was like a knife, cruelly gouging at Shi Wujue’s heart...
