He deceived me, so what? Can I beat him?
Jiang Anbo twitched his lips, feeling helpless. Zhang Liuyuan, a Half-Step Deity, was already a challenge for him. Gu Ping, with his Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivation, would have an even harder time against Bu Luo. How could someone like Bu Luo cultivate to such a level? The Book of Radiant Path was indeed formidable enough to allow someone to fight across two major realms. Jiang Anbo couldn't help but ponder.
The expression on Bu Luo's face caught Gu Ping's attention, and in an instant, Gu Ping felt a surge of clarity. What was Jiang Anbo thinking? It made him look at him with newfound respect. Jiang Anbo could actually resist the temptations of The Book of Radiant Path; he truly shouldn't be underestimated as a Tian Dong Hero. Although Gu Ping wasn't sure if Jiang Anbo deserved the title of hero, Bu Luo's mindset certainly had its merits in cultivation.
I see, isn't that just the way forward?
Gu Ping wore the Light Path Classic as a mask, completely transforming into another person. With a deliberate smile and a small fox on his shoulder, he appeared to be a Young Master Zhenzhen, the very demon that everyone spoke of as ruthless and merciless.
After all, while the Daoist Sect didn't need any reason to kill someone, it was common practice to tarnish Yi Dong’s reputation along the way. The narrative had always been a point of contention among the major Super Sects. Following the Eastern Peak Demonstration, even the academy had its share of gossip. Not to mention that Gu Ping had slaughtered dozens of Nine Nether Cultivators.
Almost everyone focused on Gu Ping's murderous actions without acknowledging his acts of saving others. After all, the Daoist Sect would never allow their disciples to be seen as ungrateful.
Jiang Anbo stared at the Folding Fan in front of him, momentarily lost in thought. He hadn't expected there to be a route leading to Tiandong City and couldn't help but ask if it was through the Spirit Rune Pavilion.
The Spirit Rune Pavilion? Hadn't he heard of the Righteous and Evil Battlefield?
Righteous and Evil Battlefield? Jiang Anbo finally came back to his senses. He had just come from there and was now heading toward Tiandong City. Why would the Spirit Elder allow him entry?
Just as Jiang Anbo was about to mention that Gu Ping had Golden Core cultivation, he recalled Gu Ping's previous achievements and found himself at a loss for words.
He had the cultivation of a Golden Core, and he was going in. "I don't deny it," he thought. Was he looking for death?
He never said I could go in.
Looking at Gu Ping's serious expression, Jiang Anbo realized that Gu Ping had never intended to ask him to stay by his side. It had barely been two days, and now that he had what he wanted, he was thinking about getting rid of him.
Although it sounded harsh, Bu Luo Gu Ping indeed acted that way. Jiang Anbo felt utterly helpless and was infuriated.
No way, Jiang Anbo shook his head like a rattle drum. If he followed me, what if I ran away?
"I don't deny it," he thought.
Those old men wouldn’t care, Jiang Anbo pouted. They wouldn’t just let a top-tier magical artifact slip away so easily; those old men would definitely come looking for trouble. No, he had to stick with me.
Following him would slow down his progress; it would be better if I went to Tiandong City first and waited for him there. Then they could regroup later.
Seeing that Gu Ping had no intention of running away, Jiang Anbo nodded and handed him a Communication Jade Tablet.
If anything came up, just use that to tell him. He would do his best to accommodate them.
Why?
What do you mean why?
Why help him?
The Master said they could become companions. Xiazhi, his senior sister, believed that he was a good person. They all thought he was someone trustworthy, so he trusted me too.
Is he a good person?
Gu Ping smiled faintly. Liu Lao Jiu said the same, but he himself didn’t feel like he was a good person at all. The things he did seemed like what any ordinary person would do.
"See you in Tiandong City."
"See you in Tiandong City."
In that moment of turning away, Gu Ping's originally eager gaze suddenly turned cold, just as Xiazhi had once thought. Everything Gu Ping allowed others to see was not the side he wanted them to see. But if it wasn’t like that, then which one was the real Gu Ping?
The moment he stepped into the Spirit Rune Pavilion, Gu Ping sensed the presence of the Spirit Elder. He took out the rusted token that the Spirit Elder had given him when he left. The starry sky above seemed to reveal another world, and Gu Ping knew that it must be the Righteous and Evil Battlefield.
A bloodstained aura rushed at him. Even after experiencing the Great War, Gu Ping was still shocked by that acrid scent, which came from the Ancient Wilderness and remnants of the battlefield. Even though there was a vast sea of stars between them, Gu Ping still felt a deep sense of shock. One could only imagine how brutal the Endless War of the Distant Moon had truly been.
