Chapter 2081 - 1653: Deadlock—Never Be the First to Stick Your Neck Out!

Thinking this way, Gu Changsheng adjusted her mood, tidied up her clothes, then waved her sleeve and walked towards the edge of the Misty Prohibition, heading towards the direction where Jin Luoyi and the others were!

Since there’s a tough battle to fight, Gu Changsheng naturally wanted to fight beautifully and win beautifully!

The appearance of Gu Changsheng and her group immediately caught the attention of Jin Luoyi, who had originally intended to make another attempt to break through the Misty Prohibition. When he turned around and looked at Gu Changsheng’s group, his gaze changed dramatically upon seeing Jin Linchuan, and his whole demeanor became ragingly furious!

But before Jin Luoyi could speak, Gu Changsheng raised a broad smile first and interrupted, "Oh wow, isn’t this Jin Luoyi? Since our parting in Smelting City, meeting again now makes me feel like encountering an old friend in a distant land. What’s up? Are you guys busy? Is crashing into walls fun? How’s the feeling of being bounced back?"

It must be said, when it comes to sarcastic remarks, few can match Gu Changsheng. As soon as she spoke, Yuan Bao behind her couldn’t help but cover his mouth with his sleeve and chuckle.

Even Jin Linchuan, who was usually very melancholic, couldn’t stop a hint of a smile from appearing on his handsome, little face as the hatred in his eyes weakened.

"Immortal! It’s really you!" Jin Luoyi had originally wanted to confront Jin Linchuan, but Gu Changsheng stole the words, mocked him, and his face turned a shade of blue and white, looking quite remarkable.

"That’s right, isn’t it just me?" Gu Changsheng raised her hand, elegantly tidied her hair at her temples, and batted her large eyes.

However, what Gu Changsheng didn’t know was that with her ink-black face, doing this action was far from being aesthetically pleasing—more like bizarre!

Jin Linchuan was indeed startled by Gu Changsheng’s gesture, his face showing unavoidable disgust, yet he ultimately didn’t dare make a move...

After all, this malicious woman was someone that even Elder Jin couldn’t deal with and instead suffered!

"What are you here for? Immortal, you harmed my uncle. My Jin Family will certainly not let you off easily! Jin Linchuan, as a descendant of the Jin Family, you actually walk with our enemy. When you return, you must give the family an explanation!" Jin Luoyi looked at Gu Changsheng with a face full of hatred and spoke angrily.

Gu Changsheng had long seen through Jin Luoyi’s facade, knowing he’s just a paper tiger. The real threat was those three silent people wearing veils behind him...

So, Gu Changsheng didn’t spare Jin Luoyi a glance, a slight smile at the corner of her mouth as her eyes flickered subtly towards those three silent individuals...

What patience, what composure...

Even Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but admire these three people’s willpower—maintaining composure in the face of Mount Tai’s Overwhelming Pressure was indeed something great people exhibit!

But do they really believe she hasn’t detected their presence at all?

Heh heh...

They are overthinking!

"Jin Luoyi, don’t try to use the family to pressure me. In the Divine Mount Qilian trip, everyone relies on their skills. Whoever brings back the Divine Weapon to the family will be the future family head. Who I employ and who I travel with is none of your concern! Aren’t the three people beside you also of unknown origin?" Jin Linchuan’s little melancholic face flashed with hatred upon hearing this, then looked at Jin Luoyi with a face full of restraint.

"You!" Jin Luoyi didn’t expect the usually submissive Jin Linchuan to retaliate. For a moment, he felt humiliation mixed with anger, but upon seeing Gu Changsheng standing in front of Jin Linchuan, he remembered the admonitions from the three behind him and could only suppress his anger, saying nothing further.

Gu Changsheng watched Jin Luoyi, clearly on the verge of a breakdown, yet turning into a lamb after glancing back, smiled without speaking, and redirected her gaze towards Jin Luoyi’s group, unable to keep a sigh from her heart...

Jin Luoyi, truly has strong appeal!

Behind him, there must be at least a hundred people; it’s unclear how he gathered so many so quickly to be his cannon fodder!

Nonetheless, Gu Changsheng did not advise these people to leave...

After all, without substantial benefits, people wouldn’t wake up early. Since these people decided to follow Jin Luoyi here, while knowing it’s dangerous, they likely also knew the potential benefits it might bring...

Gu Changsheng wouldn’t reveal Jin Luoyi’s ulterior motives, because even she doesn’t know what’s hidden behind the Mist, nor what dangers lie within the real Divine Weapon Forging Tower...

While watching these treasure hunters following Jin Luoyi, those individuals were also observing Gu Changsheng, whispering among themselves...

"Who is this person? Why does she come up and start mocking others?"

"You probably don’t know, right? A group of experts visited the Mercenary Alliance in Smelting City a few days ago, these are the ones, that man named Shui Mu and this woman called Immortal. They say both possess Transformative Realm power; even the Hierarch of the Mercenary Alliance, Yong Qing, treats them with considerable respect!"

"Ah!"

"Hey!"

"Are you sure you didn’t mistake me for someone else?"

"How is that possible? Who else, besides them, would dare to mock us like this? Looking for trouble, aren’t they?"

"..."

After some back-and-forth, everyone concluded that since this woman dared to mock them, she naturally had the power to do so!

Since they dared to venture here for an expedition in Divine Mount Qilian, who would really be foolish?

They understood the need to avoid danger, so they would definitely not provoke someone beyond their means, even if mocked by Gu Changsheng, they could only tolerate it!

Gu Changsheng’s gaze swept over the group, ultimately finding it quite uninteresting. Did they really think they were clever? True, fortune lies in danger, but risking one’s life for wealth, how is that different from the challengers in the Star Innate Tower?

Equally foolish!

If Gu Changsheng didn’t have to be here, she wouldn’t risk her life coming here!

"Okay, then. Just pretend I’m passing by!" Gu Changsheng shrugged disinterestedly and took a step back.

"Do you think we’re stupid? Continue? Find a way to break this prohibition and let you reap the rewards?" Jin Luoyi was thoroughly upset, gritting her teeth, "I’m telling you, no way!"

"Then this becomes difficult. I’m tired from walking and don’t want to hastily rush to my death. I planned to take a break. If you don’t want to continue, then rest with me. I really don’t mind!" Gu Changsheng said, casually shrugging again.

She had made her point clear enough, right?

If those accompanying Jin Luoyi still didn’t understand, Gu Changsheng really wouldn’t know what to say...

"You!" Jin Luoyi was frustrated and turned to look at the three silent individuals behind her.

Among the three wearing veiled hats, the one standing in the middle nodded at Jin Luoyi, their gaze beneath the veil filled with infinite ridicule...

"You want to rest with them?" Jin Luoyi was filled with doubt about the response and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes." The woman in the middle with the veiled hat was none other than Fufeng Tianlan. She nodded again, speaking in an extremely husky voice.

"But aren’t we supposed to go in first, find the Divine Weapon Forging Tower, to obtain the divine weapon? If we delay any further, we’d enter with them. Do you think I can beat them?" Jin Luoyi didn’t want Jin Linchuan to obtain a divine weapon, as it was his leverage in vying for the Family Head. Only he could seize it!

"Without her, we can’t get in!" Beneath the veil, Fufeng Tianlan’s lips curled slightly, her face filled with a smile of mockery, speaking in a voice only she could hear, "Destined one, I want to see how many doors the heavens have opened for you!"

"What are you saying?" Jin Luoyi tried hard but couldn’t hear Fufeng Tianlan’s words and couldn’t help but move a bit closer...

"Get lost!"

Almost instantly, the veiled Fufeng Tianlan spoke, barking an order.

Dare to approach her!

This waste from the Jin Family really had the nerve. If she didn’t need someone to mask her identity, Fufeng Tianlan wouldn’t bother traveling with a waste like Jin Luoyi!

"..." Jin Luoyi was startled by Fufeng Tianlan’s cold reprimand, instinctively taking a step back. However, she quickly adjusted her expression, motioning for her group to rest on the spot.

Jin Luoyi’s decision made everyone exchange bewildered looks, but considering Jin Luoyi’s status, they ultimately held back.

Already resting on the side, Gu Changsheng observed Jin Luoyi and the veiled individual’s small actions closely. Seeing them rest as he did, he couldn’t help but twitch his lips and mutter, "Damn it! Are they aiming to compete with me now? Do they want to see who’s the sparrow or something? I won’t believe it. I can’t lose to them, can I?"

Gu Changsheng understood the principle of avoiding being the first to emerge. Damn it, with the Misty Prohibition so strong, who knows what’s lurking beyond the mist? Gu Changsheng would only be foolish to rush in first!
