Fu Xiaohai frowned, watching as Gu moved the book closer to his leg, then set it ablaze, staring coldly at him as if he were looking at a corpse.
I couldn't believe it; could this be real? Fu Xiaohai took a step forward, trying to discern the truth of Yi Dong.
I misspoke. Gu tossed the burning book aside carelessly and pulled out another one from his pocket, displaying it to Fu Xiaohai. I wondered if that one was truly real or just a fake.
Fu Xiaohai suddenly halted, his expression darkening as if he might burst into tears. He dared not press Gu further. Liu Lao Jiu stood beside Gu, still stained with the blood from their recent battle. At that moment, Ling Chanzi also rode up next to Gu, not bothering to keep quiet.
Seeing Fu Xiaohai at a loss for what to do, Gu put away his smile and suggested, "Why don't we go somewhere and talk?"
Were they really going to negotiate?
Did he want to bargain for his life?
No one could protect me, Fu Xiaohai said calmly, except for the Light. If he handed over the item, they could ensure my safety.
He didn’t seem to care about our reputation for honesty.
What did I want then?
The Light would escort him to the Flowing Cloud Realm, where he would hand over the items to us before leaving.
On what grounds? Why should they risk their lives to protect a mere mortal like me? Did I think that by going to the Flowing Cloud Realm I could survive? The gates would leave me to rot in the wilderness.
The gates wouldn’t bother with someone like him; on the contrary, we were now nothing more than ants in an oil pan.
As the two were engaged in a heated argument, a group led by Leng Gucun, who had been lurking behind Gu, arrived at the scene and subtly surrounded both Gu and Fu Xiaohai.
"Are they from my side?"
Fu Xiaohai glanced at the people closing in around them, showing no signs of surprise. He had already noticed their presence; it was only Bu Luo that he hadn’t worried about. If Gu Bian was a fake, Jie Donglai would have broken through by now. What he feared was that the truth lay right beneath that mortal's feet.
"I don't deny it."
Gu shook his head, clearly indicating his stance. The two of them continued to ignore the people at the door as if they didn’t exist.
"Did I leak the information to them?"
"I don't deny it."
Gu once again provided a negative answer. The people from Leng Gucun were now fully aware of their presence, and with the light revealing itself, Gu Zhi realized that their situation was becoming precarious.
The light would not accept negotiations and certainly would not compromise.
Fu Xiaohai stated firmly, then drew his weapon from the Soul Ring—a large, curved circular blade resembling half of a disc. Its edge was incredibly sharp, with several protrusions resembling long spikes along its surface, likely a unique weapon from the Northern Desert.
Since he didn’t want to talk, how about they discuss terms? Gu turned to look at the person closest to him among those at the door.
"What are your conditions?" The man was none other than Zhang Chenglin, the highest-ranked cultivator present. Although he hadn’t fully recovered from his previous battle with Chongming Guang, it didn’t hinder him from being the strongest cultivator in that place.
How about exchanging the head of a Lightbringer? Gu Rao looked at Fu Xiaohai with interest.
What kind of exchange? Zhang Chenglin, caught off guard by the suggestion, replied, "I don't deny it." He was intrigued because, in his eyes, neither Gu nor the Lightbringer could escape.
Just like before, he would go to Great Green Mountain and then to Flowing Cloud Realm. Once he crossed the boundary, he would give us the book. We helped him deal with those along the way—what would happen then?
Not much.
A long tone came from in front of Gu, from behind Fu Xiaohai. Although the voice was not loud, it was very clear. By the time those present reacted, Gan Yuan had brought his people and rushed to a spot not far behind Fu Xiaohai.
They wanted to seek the Lightbringer; they also wanted what was in my legs. Those who had seen the appearance in the book would be eliminated; I couldn't escape.
Gan Yuan had no intention of negotiating. Now that the Lightbringer had appeared, from the perspective of the main gate, Jie Donglai could see how much battle could be gained.
It seemed his proposal needed to be reconsidered. I thought so. Gu Na turned to look at Fu Xiaohai and said without any sense of honor, "I understand now that those people are indeed the greatest enemies of the Lightbringers. Why not exchange with them? I can offer their heads in exchange for his, and then he can give me what I want from Flowing Cloud Realm."
Do I know what’s happening in Flowing Cloud Realm?
Aren't they just those demons from Qiankun? From his perspective, they were no more terrifying than our esteemed sects.
Then why does Gu insist on going to Great Green Mountain and then to Flowing Cloud Realm? Because over there, humans can't insert themselves into their affairs. Once the Lightbringers finish their fight over there, if he throws away what’s in his legs again, who would bother with a mere mortal like him? What could Gu possibly seek in such a situation now?
