"Junior Brother!
Is your Taoist name really Hongjun? "
"Junior Brother, is that really the Taoist name Master gave you?"
After Guhan revealed his Taoist name, Zhao Gongming kept asking him this question. It was as if he did not believe that the Prime of Tongtian would give Guhan this Taoist name.
However, Zhao Gongming was right to be worried. The Taoist name was not given to Guhan by the Prime of Tongtian. It came from Rena Takasaka.
"Of course!
What's wrong with this Taoist name? "
Guhan glanced at Liunian Ling. Liunian Ling shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she did not know the story behind this Taoist name.
"Master!
What exactly are you thinking about?
I really can't figure it out! "Zhao Gongming looked at the sky blankly and mumbled to himself.
"Senior Brother!
What's wrong with this Taoist name?
Senior brother, please tell me the truth! "Gu Han asked again.
"Sigh … I can't say it … I can't say it!"
Zhao Gongming shook his head helplessly. "We don't have the right to mention this name. Otherwise, we will definitely incur the wrath of the heavens.
However, since Master gave you this Taoist name, he must have his reasons. Don't ask too many questions … By the way, unless our Senior and Junior Brothers ask, you must not tell them your Taoist name. Otherwise, you will encounter great trouble! "
"Fine!
Since Senior Brother doesn't want to say it, I won't ask anymore. "
Guhan waved his hand. "However, please forgive me, Senior Brother. In order to keep our operation a secret, I can't release you for the time being. Senior Brother, please stay here for a while. After we destroy the Heavenly Court, we will return you your freedom!"
"You want to destroy the Heavenly Court?
Are you kidding me? "
Zhao Dongming looked like he had just heard a very unfunny joke. His face was full of disbelief. "Junior apprentice brother … Sigh … Junior apprentice brother, I admit that I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean that the Quasi-Sages in the Heavenly Court can't beat you.
Your strength is still not enough in front of them. However, it won't be too late to talk about overthrowing the Heavenly Court after you continue to practice the Immortal Method taught by your master and become a Sage-to-be! "
"We can't wait that long!"
Guhan shook his head, "And this time, I'm not dealing with the Heavenly Court alone. This time, we have found a way to resurrect the six sages from 800 years ago. I believe that as long as the six sages can be resurrected, we can defeat the Heavenly Court!"
"It's not that simple …" Zhao Gongming shook his head with a wry smile. "That was 800 years ago. During these 800 years, the Celestial Court controlled the fate of this world. Those six Sage-to-be couldn't … Wait, it's not completely impossible … Junior Brother, do you really have the confidence to resurrect those six Sage-to-be?"
"That's right!
I have the confidence to do so! "Gu Han nodded straightforwardly.
"Then it's easy!"
Zhao Gongming became excited. "Actually, you're not the only one who wants to rebel against the Heavenly Court. Many of the brothers of the Tribe of Severity in the Heavenly Court have been dissatisfied with those five bastards for a long time. If you can really resurrect those six Sage-to-be, we can help you secretly!"
"Can I really?
Are the brothers of the Heavenly Court really willing to help me? "Guhan also asked excitedly.
"Of course!
We're all restrained in the Heavenly Court by the List of Deification. As long as you can destroy the List of Deification after destroying the Heavenly Court and release our True Spirits, we'll be truly free and free! "
The more Zhao Gongming spoke, the more excited he became. Then, he began to struggle to get rid of the restraints on his body. "Junior Brother, there's no time to lose. You have to trust me and release me. Then, I can contact those brothers for you."
"System: Branch options received. Do you choose to trust Zhao Gongming's words and release Zhao Gongming to recruit troops in the Heavenly Court for you?
Please note that Yuan Kou and Zhao Gongming may be telling the truth or lying. Please make a decision according to the player's own judgment! "
This was a very interesting thing. Now, the system had placed the decision in front of Guhan.
At this time, Zhao Gongming was very likely to be deceiving Guhan. He wanted to help Guhan win his freedom through his lies. Perhaps, he would immediately report to the Heavenly Court when he returned to the Heavenly Court, causing Guhan's plan to fall short of success.
Of course, what Zhao Gongming said was also very likely to be true. In that case, Guhan would undoubtedly get a great help in the Heavenly Court.
According to Zhao Gongming, there were at least 20 Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who were Guhan's brothers. If these Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals betrayed him at the same time, Guhan's side would have the combat power of two Emperor Swords.
At this time, the decision was in Guhan's hands. Guhan's choice was very likely to determine the success or failure of the entire Instance Dungeon.
"Guhan!"
At the same time, Liunian Ling also received the same system notification as Guhan. She called out to Guhan worriedly, "You must make a decision carefully!"
"I know!"
Guhan nodded. Under Zhao Gongming's expectant gaze, a silver-white sword gleam flashed and Zhao Gongming's head was separated from his neck. At the same time, countless sword qi crushed Zhao Gongming's head. At the same time, a small golden person flew out of Zhao Gongming's head. This was the Primordial Spirit of an immortal and also the last thing an immortal could rely on!
"Junior Brother!
What are you doing?
You killed your Senior Brother! "Zhao Gongming questioned Guhan in fear and anger.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother!"
Guhan shook his head coldly. "This concerns the lives of tens of thousands of survivors behind me. Even if you're really my Senior Brother, I can't guarantee that you won't betray Master after spending so many years in the Heavenly Court … So I'm sorry, my Senior Brother. I can only send you on your way!"
"Good Junior Brother!
Good Junior Brother!
You're indeed meticulous and ruthless. No wonder Master chose you to be his disciple. Perhaps you can really revive our Jie School!
Alright, I'll use my life to fulfill your wish. I'm leaving! "
Zhao Gongming said emotionally after hearing Guhan's words. Then, his Primordial Spirit began to slowly disperse like a withering flower. Finally, it completely disappeared into the air.
At the same time, a dimensional whirlpool slowly formed in the air and took everything of Zhao Gongming back. Obviously, Zhao Gongming was really dead.
"Guhan!
I feel that the two of us may have made the wrong choice. Your cheap Senior Brother seems to really want to help you! "
Liunian Ling said with a guilty expression. Obviously, Zhao Gongming's last words before his death deeply shocked Liunian Ling.
"No!
Your decision is very wise!
This Zhao Gongming will never help us. He's an extremely cunning fellow. Back then, my unfilial son, Mordred, died because of Zhao Gongming's deceit! "
At some point, Artoria appeared behind Guhan and Liunian Ling. It seemed that she had heard the conversation between Zhao Gongming and Guhan.
"You have a child?"
However, Guhan's attention was not on the main point of Artoria's words at all. Instead, his attention was on his unfilial son, Mordred … When did Artoria have a child? Guhan had no idea!
"It was my sister Morgan who stole my genetic factors and used forbidden magic to create an artificial human. Although I'm willing to admit it, she is indeed my child!
An unfilial son who thinks about how to kill me all day long! "Artoria was very distressed, but she also said with some nostalgia.
"So that's how it is!" Guhan unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Killing this guy was an extremely wise decision. He only said something to make you feel guilty before he died. That's the crudest way to say it. You didn't even realize that. You're too stupid!
Let me tell you, we can't trust anyone except our own people now! "
Artoria said as she walked into the distance. "Hurry up, the Great Saint's soul in that stronghold is still waiting for you to collect it with the Peach Tree of Immortality!"
"It seems that I've made the right decision in at least one aspect!"
Looking at Artoria's back, Guhan said to Liunian Ling with a smile, "At least from now on, Miss Artoria sees us as her own people!"
"Is that so?"
Liunian Ling gave Guhan a meaningful look. "Why do I feel that you're especially happy after Artoria sees you as one of us?"
… …
The people led by Artoria had already cleared out all the immortals in Emperor Qin's Terracotta Army. This allowed Guhan to collect the Great Saint's souls scattered in Emperor Qin's mausoleum into the Peach Tree of Immortality as quickly as possible.
Guhan only needed to hold the Peach Tree of Immortality and walk around the mausoleum once. Some of the faint blue light would automatically be attracted by the true spirit in the Peach Tree of Immortality and absorbed into it. The whole process would take no more than an hour.
"We need to speed up!
The Heavenly Court changes guards every three days, which means that they'll be aware of our plan in three days at the latest. You've already wasted a lot of time chasing Zhao Gongming. You need to speed up! "
"Alright!
I'll listen to you! "Gu Han said straightforwardly.
Then, under Artoria's lead, Guhan and Liunian Ling spent nearly two days clearing out the Heavenly Court's guards at the peak of Mount Tai, the source of the Yellow River, the coast of the East Sea, and the Hidden Dragon Forest. They collected the souls of five Great Saints.
The whole process was quite simple. Just like how they dealt with Zhao Gongming, Artoria opened a Void Gate, and the three of them surrounded each other and gave each other a good beating. That was the end of the battle.
The smoothness of the process completely exceeded Artoria's expectations. At the same time, she was deeply aware of Guhan's terrifying strength. Not only did he master the power of nomological laws, but he also completely crushed her in swordsmanship. If she fought with Guhan, she might not even have a 10% chance of winning. Where did such a terrifying human come from?
"Alright!
We've gathered all five places. Where's the last one? "
"Right here!"
Artoria pointed to the location of old Yanjing City on the map. "It's around this Founding Emperor Memorial Hall!"
