Above all spirits

Chapter 202 Misfortunes never come singly

“Gu…Gu the Demon Envoy.”

Upon witnessing this entire scene, Ji Xiao, feeling the immense vitality within him, inexplicably felt a sense of distance and was no longer comfortable calling Gu Yun by his name.

Because he realized the vast difference between himself and Gu Yun, a difference that could be described as heaven and earth.

Gu Yun had fought him before, and the two sides were evenly matched. It turned out that it was really just a game, and he just wanted to understand the power of intention.

He had never seen Gu Yun like this before.

It was only then that I realized that Gu Yun was not a person, or rather, not a purely human being.

"Uncle Ji, it's alright. Just call me Gu Yun as usual."

"As for the Ji family members who have already become demons or have been implanted with demonic seeds, don't worry. I will seize the Heavenly Demon King and change the entire lower realm's perception of demons. At that time, the Ji family will be the same as before."

"Please accept our deepest condolences to those who have passed away."

Ji Xiao now understood Gu Yun's ultimate goal. It seemed that the one deep within the Canglan Imperial Capital probably shared the same idea.

Even so, such widespread suffering and death, all for the sake of achieving a goal, is utterly absurd.

Is the Emperor's will really just like that...?

He sighed sadly and nodded.

"I know, thank you for your help, and I also hope that you can change the human race's preconceived notions about the demon race."

"In fact, many demons are not evil at heart."

“Weakness and escapism are human nature, but to discriminate against them based on these traits is going too far.”

"Be careful in everything you do. It's not that I doubt your abilities, but there are bound to be various formations and barriers deep within the capital city. It's best to be extra cautious when you're alone. I'll be waiting for your good news."

Gu Yun nodded and smiled slightly.

“It’s good that you think that way. As for external forces, that’s taken into account, but your arrogance should be able to circumvent most of the restrictions. You can stay here with peace of mind.”

"By the way, there's something I don't understand. With such a big incident happening across Canglan Star, surely Han Tian of Wentian Academy wouldn't remain indifferent? What happened to Wentian Academy?"

"Don't tell me Han Tian is also a demon."

Ji Xiao shook his head, seemingly having thought of a connection between the two things, and said.

"That's not it."

"But a while ago, a very terrifying person came to Wentian Academy and fought a great battle with Dean Han. The two of them fought into the void. Although he was defeated and fled in the end, Dean Han seemed to have suffered considerable injuries as a result."

"I heard that person was only at the peak of the Saint Body realm. At the time, no one really believed it. A peak Saint Body cultivator injuring a pseudo-Innate Realm cultivator... Gu Yun, this..."

Gu Yun sneered; misfortunes never come singly.

No wonder.

No wonder.

"This is the Emperor's will."

"That's why Emperor Canglan was willing to destroy the entire Canglan Star to seize the Emperor's Will."

"This is why gods and demons are willing to descend to the mortal realm to pursue the power of rules."

“That person should be one of the candidates for the Emperor’s Will of Life and Death. He came for Hongxiu. I knew he probably knew Hongxiu’s location, but I didn’t expect him to come so quickly.”

"Indeed, the Emperor's will is such a tempting bait that even a Kunpeng would take the bait, right?"

"Hehe, this Canglan Star is quite noisy today."

Ji Xiao said with some concern.

He understood that Hongxiu was Gu Yun's contractor.

"How about we go to Wentian Academy first to see Miss Hongxiu?"

Gu Yun pondered for a moment and recalled the direction Gao Yu had fled in, which was the direction of the imperial city, not the Wentian Academy.

This suggests that Wentian Academy is unlikely to become Wanwujiang's target for the time being.

Even though Han Tian was injured, he was still one of the highest pseudo-innate beings in the lower realm.

It's not something that can be solved easily.

Especially in their own academy.

There was nothing we could do to stop this man-made disaster.

After all, if Han Tian were to leave the Wentian Academy, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to defeat Wan Wujiang while he was injured.

"Wentian Academy should be fine, but we can no longer interfere with the actions of the Heavenly Demon Clan."

"Killing a pseudo-innate is not something that can be done casually."

"It's alright, I'll go to the royal palace first."

"Let's go and meet this old fox."

"It's time to meet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shadow suddenly rose and engulfed Gu Yun, disappearing completely.

Almost at the same instant, Gu Yun's figure appeared in the sky above the outer perimeter of Canglan Imperial City.

The power of the stars, shimmering with tiny fluorescent lights, lingered around Gu Yun.

They awaited Gu Yun's instructions.

At this moment, he was still in his most offensive form, the Star Moon Demon.

The storage ring of the man he had just killed contained several thousand star coins and ample reserves of star power! This was the only thing he had his eye on.

The imperial city was shrouded in a barrier of light.

Through this light barrier, Gu Yun, high in the sky, could see without obstruction the magnificent palace at the center of the towering city walls. Above the palace hung a golden plaque with three characters written on it: Canglan Palace.

This was the main hall of the court of Emperor Canglan, Wan Wujiang.

Without any hesitation, Gu Yun rushed forward.

Suddenly.

The barrier seemed to sense the approach of a powerful enemy, and the light screen began to flicker frequently. The seventy-two array flags that were connected with it immediately floated into the air and intertwined into seventy-two white longswords, pointing at Gu Yun, and a chilling aura spread out.

It seems to be making a declaration.

If Gu Yun takes another step forward, he will become their common target.

Gu Yun watched the changes in the barrier indifferently and snorted coldly.

The starlight around me suddenly brightened a bit.

"Power: Gathering Stars".

This is the most basic power to utilize the power of the stars, much like the control of space. When the Celestial God Clan's Chi Tong fought against him, he used this power.

Its effect is to temporarily attach the power of stars to an object, such as a fist or a gun.

Unfortunately, the power of this indirect use is far less than that of directly condensing the Star-Picking Hand or something else.

However, the advantage of this power lies in the fact that it consumes very little soul essence. Otherwise, how could one so easily control the power of stars in the lower realm using only soul power?

Chi Tong isn't a Star Moon Demon; its affinity with the power of stars is off the charts, effectively halving your energy consumption.

Even simple traction, such as charging star coins, does not require consuming any soul power.

For Gu Yun at this moment, this power was actually to conserve his soul power.

Using his power, Star-Picking Hand, twice in a row, even in the form of the Star-Moon Demon, consumed a significant amount of his soul power. At this moment, however, using this power was almost negligible for him, as he wanted to use it to recover some of his strength.

He held the God-Slaying Spear horizontally in front of his chest with one hand, and with the other hand he drew the power of the stars to attach to the spear.

"Transform into a gun!"

The gold and red patterns immediately complemented each other.

Gu Yun swung the God-Slaying Spear with all his might towards the light screen.

Dozens of gun energies flashed instantly, rushing towards the light screen.

Without the slightest pause, the light curtain shattered in an instant.

At the same time, the entire imperial city trembled slightly.

The barrier shattered, and the array was activated!

"brush!"

"brush!"

...

The seventy-two array swords seemed to have eyes, and suddenly rushed towards Gu Yun.
