255: Gu Liangyuan is just a reckless man!

After experimenting with the power of the Beast Fighting Technique, Gu Liangyuan thought of Qianqiu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

He took a step directly towards the Dayuan Imperial Palace.

This step looked like a leisurely stroll, but in an instant, he crossed five great mountains and three mountain ranges, arriving above the Dayuan Imperial Palace thousands of miles away.

Looking down, a golden light shimmered between his brows, and his gaze penetrated through layers of white clouds, landing inside the Dayuan Imperial Palace.

Before he could find Qianqiu, he first discovered an area outside the Imperial Palace where spatial fluctuations were faintly emanating.

Gu Liangyuan frowned, and as his detection technique swept across, three System panels appeared in his sight:

Name: Hu Yunsheng

Faction: Hongyun Palace

Cultivation: Body Integration Peak

...

Name: Chen Dong

Faction: Hongyun Palace

Cultivation: Body Integration Peak

...

Name: Shen Zhou

Faction: Hongyun Palace

Cultivation: Body Integration Peak

...

Looking at these three System panels, Gu Liangyuan's brows furrowed sharply.

Under the influence of the Primordial Spirit of Slaughter, a surge of malevolent Qi rose from his heart.

First Mo Chen, then Jun Ao Zhi, and now they were targeting Qianqiu and Song Xianer.

So, attacking the Zhuge Family didn't scare your Hongyun Palace, did it?

It's been a long time since I've made a move. It's a good opportunity to test how much combat power I can unleash against these three without using the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth.

With this thought, Gu Liangyuan transformed, taking on the appearance of Di Tian.

Under the operation of the Law of Fire, fiery Qi surged around his body.

The pressure of Void Refining Peak was unleashed, making him virtually identical to Di Tian.

He looked around, descended from the cloud, and headed towards the spatial fluctuation.

...

Deep within the volcano of Taiyi Holy Land.

Di Tian sat cross-legged, with a Disciple kneeling before him, saying to Di Tian:

“Holy Lord, a female Daoist has arrived outside the Holy Land gate, claiming to be a Grand Elder of Purple Bamboo Holy Land, demanding that you hand over the Gold-Devouring Beast, or she will instigate a Holy Land war.”

Upon hearing this, Di Tian stroked his chin, troubled and clicking his tongue.

What's going on?

I haven't left Taiyi for over a year, so why are my enemies increasing?

First, the Devil Emperor said I killed his son, and now people from the South Sea Holy Land want me to hand over some Gold-Devouring Beast.

Di Tian was certain that he hadn't done any of these things.

Yet, these people were all deeply convinced, as if they had personally witnessed him committing these evil deeds.

A hunch told Di Tian that there were bad people among the masses!

But he had no evidence.

The Disciple below, seeing Di Tian remain silent for a long time, spoke again:

“Holy Lord, what should we do now?”

Di Tian waved his hand:

“Haven't many of Ancient Mo's aristocratic Disciples already arrived? Let them handle it.”

“Now our Taiyi Holy Land is a knife in the Mo Emperor's hand. Even when beating a dog, one must look at its owner. I want to see if Purple Bamboo Holy Land is as brave as Gu Liangyuan, daring to challenge Ancient Mo.”

The Disciple's eyes lit up, and he quickly offered a compliment:

“Holy Lord is brilliant.”

This Disciple had followed Di Tian for more than a year and a half, and he had often flattered him in the past, always making Di Tian happy.

But this time, it was beyond the Disciple's expectation.

Not only was Di Tian not happy, but he also sternly said:

“In the future, speak less of such flattery. Too much will affect my judgment. You may leave.”

The Disciple was stunned by Di Tian's sudden reprimand.

Were these words spoken by the Holy Lord he knew?

Although full of questions, he dared not ask and quickly bowed and withdrew:

“This Disciple knows his mistake. This Disciple takes his leave.”

“Hmm.”

Seeing Di Tian nod, the Disciple then left.

After the Disciple left, Di Tian stiffened his neck and stroked his chin:

“What exactly is going on?”

...

Outside the Dayuan Imperial Palace, the three sensed an unknown Spiritual Qi fluctuation, and their hearts were immediately startled. Thinking of Gu Liangyuan's notorious reputation, they instinctively wanted to flee.

But upon seeing that it was Di Tian, their hearts immediately relaxed considerably.

It's good that it's not Gu Liangyuan.

Just then, Gu Liangyuan spoke:

“Why are the three Fellow Daoists so nervous?”

The three did not answer directly. One of them cupped his hands and bowed:

“Is it Holy Lord Di Tian in person?”

Gu Liangyuan nodded: “Indeed, it is this Emperor.”

Another person tentatively continued: “Could it be that the Holy Lord is also here for these two women?”

Gu Liangyuan let out a light ‘eh’:

“You are also here for them?”

If it were an ordinary person, the three from Hongyun Palace would certainly not have said so much to Gu Liangyuan.

But imagining the rumors of Di Tian being castrated by Gu Liangyuan, and based on the idea that an enemy's enemy is a friend, they spoke a few more words:

“Indeed, we are here to capture these two women, by order of our Scarlet Cloud Palace Young Master.”

Di Tian, in whom Gu Liangyuan had transformed, pretended to be surprised and asked:

“Capture them? Aren't you afraid of Gu Liangyuan?”

Chen Dong, the leader, laughed heartily: “Holy Lord has resided in the Eastern Continent for a long time, so you might not know much about our Hongyun Palace.”

“Although our Hongyun Palace headquarters is in the Northern Region, our Disciples are spread throughout the world.”

“The so-called Hongyun Palace in the Northern Region is merely an outer shell.”

“If all Hongyun Palace Disciples were gathered, even an ordinary Holy Land would not be enough to contend with us.”

“Gu Liangyuan is merely a brute!”

“Even if he leads an army to attack Hongyun Palace, he won't cause us much harm.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Liangyuan deliberately showed a surprised expression:

“Is Hongyun Palace truly so formidable?”

Looking at the overjoyed Di Tian, a trace of imperceptible disdain flashed in Chen Dong's eyes.

A dignified Holy Land Lord, whose emotions were so evident, allowing people to see through his depth at a glance.

No wonder the Mo Emperor chose to support Taiyi; such a person was indeed easy to control.

Thinking this in his heart, he nevertheless showed a benevolent smile on his face:

“Even more formidable than the Holy Lord imagines.”

Di Tian was overjoyed: “Good, good, good! An enemy's enemy is a friend. Then our Taiyi and Hongyun Palace can join forces!”

Chen Dong's mind stirred: “Oh? Does the Holy Lord also have this intention?”

Di Tian nodded: “That is natural.”

“You are here to capture them. What are your subsequent plans?”

“To show my sincerity, I am willing to lend my full support!”

“If I go back on my word, may heavenly lightning strike me immediately, and may Heart Demons entangle me, forever sinking into depravity!”

Knowing that heavenly lightning had no effect on him, Gu Liangyuan uttered a Heavenly Dao oath without hesitation.

Listening to Gu Liangyuan's Heavenly Dao oath, Chen Dong completely relaxed:

“I didn't expect the Holy Lord to be so forthright. If I were to continue hiding, it would seem petty.”

“Our Hongyun Palace has a secret technique called ‘Planting Love Roots’ which can make someone deeply infatuated with another.”

“Previously, Jun Ao Zhi was affected by a simplified version of this technique. If Little Red had not died, Gu Liangyuan would not have been able to break this technique even now.”

“The Scarlet Cloud Palace Young Master's intention this time is to plant Love Roots in the two women, and then send them to Gu Liangyuan's side to lie in wait and be used by him!”

Evidently, Chen Dong did not believe that Jun Ao Zhi broke the Love Curse because he severed his emotions, but rather thought that it was Little Red's death that caused the Love Curse to become ineffective.

After listening, although Gu Liangyuan knew that Qianqiu had a Mahayana Puppet with her and that the trio's plan would certainly not succeed, he still couldn't help but feel anger rise in his heart.

Looking at Chen Pi, Gu Liangyuan clapped his hands and laughed: “To have such a secret technique, Hongyun Palace is indeed formidable.”

“May I know how the three Fellow Daoists are called?”

The three cupped their hands and bowed:

“Chen Dong, Shen Zhou, Hu Yunsheng.”

Gu Liangyuan feigned sudden realization: “So you're Hu Yunsheng, right?”

Hu Yunsheng nodded: “What, has the Holy Lord heard my name?”

As soon as his words fell, before Hu Yunsheng could react, he felt an irresistible suction force.

When he came back to his senses, he was already in a mysterious space.

Immediately after, a burning sensation spread throughout his body, and both his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit gradually melted.

Above the Dayuan Imperial Palace, Chen Dong and Shen Zhou stood side by side. Across from them, Gu Liangyuan held the great love gourd with a smile on his face.

Chen Dong frowned: “What is the Holy Lord's intention?”

Gu Liangyuan let out a cold laugh:

“Holy Lord? I think it should be brute, right?”

Saying that, he revealed his true form.
