Cultivating Loser’s Counterattack - C130 Unravel Identity
Under Yuan Lang’s lead, the people of Xuanhua Sect did not choose a particular path, and directly walked on it.
There were exactly ten spots for Xuanhua Sect to enter, with Gu Qing walking at the back and Liu Ying following by her side. At this moment, no one made a sound as they were on guard against any danger.
Gu Qing was no exception. In the dark misty sky, everything was pitch black as far as the eye could see. There were rough rocks and no trees on the ground, just a few stalwart weeds beside the rocks.
“Eh, there seems to be something there!” Other than Gu Qing and Liu Ying being surprised, the other female cultivator among the three who was heading towards Ancient Ruins suddenly pointed towards the front and cried out.
Yuan Lang and Shen Chang who were walking right in front stopped in their tracks and turned to look at the direction their junior sister was pointing at. Sure enough, they saw a tall creature standing in the darkness in the distance.
“What is it?” Shall we go and take a look? ” The rest of the people in the crowd started to discuss amongst themselves.
Not long after, Yuan Lang made his decision, “Let’s go take a look!”
As they were worried about the unknown dangers inside the secret realm, none of them chose to summon their Flying-artifact and walked on foot. The group of ten walked at a fast pace. After about fifteen minutes, the blurry shadow standing in front of them finally became clear.
Gu Qing looked up and saw a tall tower standing in the darkness. A signboard was still hung at the top of the door.
There were a few words on it, but they had already been eroded by time. The only thing that could be recognized was the word “Treasure”.
When the disciples of the Xuanhua Sect saw the word “treasure”, their eyes all lit up.
“Martial Uncle, this tower must have a lot of treasures. Let’s go in and take a look!” A young cultivator with a crown on his head suggested excitedly.
Yuan Lang hesitated for a moment, “Everyone, don’t be anxious, I’ll go forward and take a look.”
Everyone nodded their heads as they watched Yuan Lang’s figure flashing towards the tower.
Liu Ying had the lowest cultivation level out of all of them, and was the youngest among them. Seeing that, she went over to Gu Qing’s side: “Senior Sister Zi Jin, do you think there will be monsters in the tower?”
Gu Qing turned her head and smiled, “I will!”
Liu Ying was not afraid of the heavens or the earth outside, she was cowering right after she entered this place. Hearing Gu Qing’s reply, her face became creased, “Then what should we do? Senior Sister, you have to protect me well! ”
The smile on Gu Qing’s face became even wider, she really did not expect this girl to be so timid, “I’m lying to you, I’m not an immortal, how do I know if there are monsters inside?”
After Liu Ying heard, she immediately stood up straight and curled her lips, “I never thought that you would be so evil!”
With Gu Qing making fun of him, Liu Ying was no longer as nervous as before turning her gaze in Yuan Lang’s direction. With a “creak”, the door to the tower was easily opened, and Yuan Lang’s figure flashed as he entered.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for their Martial Uncle to appear again.
Not long after, Yuan Lang appeared from within the tower in a flash, and everyone stared at him. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he gave everyone a peaceful smile. “I didn’t find anything abnormal, so everyone can come over now.”
After he finished speaking, the disciples of the Xuanhua Sect rushed towards the tower.
Yuan Lang did not stop them, and instead moved to the side, allowing all the disciples to enter. He only reminded them, “Although I have checked once, everyone still has to be careful. After all, this is not an ordinary secret realm, and it’s hard to say if I have seen wrongly.”
“Yes, Martial Uncle.”
As soon as Gu Qing walked in, she smelled a strong smell of dust, as if it had never been opened in a few hundred years.
She looked over, within the wide tower, there were over ten tall wooden shelves, and on the shelves, there were quite a few jade bottle s and all sorts of Spiritual Treasure.
Her gaze shifted to the stairs leading to the second floor.
Yuan Lang detected her gaze and nodded. “I’ve seen it too, and I can’t find any problems, but you have to be careful.”
Yuan Lang instructed as he took the lead to go upstairs.
The moment Liu Ying entered the tower, like other fellow disciples, she was dazzled by the plethora of rare Spiritual Treasure inside.
Gu Qing turned and went up to the second floor. With her Xuanhua Sect’s experience, she knew that everything below was ordinary, and the more she went up, the more precious it was. Previously, when she was looking through the Xuanhua Sect, she had held onto the thought of picking up loopholes to slowly search for, but in the end, she still found something good from the light of inheritance. The truth proved that the loophole wasn’t easy to pick up, but the higher ups clearly had good stuff up their sleeves.
Therefore, Gu Qing did not hesitate and directly went to the second floor.
Standing on the second floor, she swept her eyes over the shelves that displayed the treasures. Finding nothing that attracted her, she continued on to the third floor.
On this floor, she walked in succession along the wooden shelves. Although the dusty treasures didn’t seem to be anything extraordinary, the jade tablets in front of them had clearly written down their cultivation techniques.
After walking through two rows of wooden shelves, Gu Qing’s footsteps finally stopped in front of a spherical magical equipment.
Her gaze swept across the jade token that was also covered in a lot of dust. Her eyebrows gradually rose until they finally turned into a small hill.
What was going on?
The thing on the wooden shelf was actually a Hun Tian Bead?
But wasn’t the Hun Tian Bead in his own Universe Bag?
She carefully read through the description on the jade tablet and confirmed that the thing on the wooden shelf in front of her was indeed a Hun Tian Bead.
She immediately reached out her hand, wanting to take down the ‘Hun Tian Bead’ from the wooden shelf to see what was going on. Why were there two Hun Tian Bead?
But the moment she stretched her hand out, the sound of light footsteps came from behind. Gu Qing’s expression changed, and immediately retracted her hand, quietly touching a Spiritual Treasure closer to her, then she continued to move forward.
When she reached the end of the shelf, Gu Qing turned around and looked at the person walking towards him, “What are you sneaking around for?”
Shen Chang was dressed in a blue robe, looking handsome and extraordinary, “You are only allowed to come to this floor?”
Gu Qing squinted his eyes, then said, “Okay, then you stay here and watch over. I’ll be leaving first.”
After she finished speaking, she walked towards the stairs on the fourth floor, but in the instant she passed Shen Chang, he suddenly extended his hand and stopped her.
Gu Qing’s gaze slowly moved from the hand in front of her to Shen Chang’s handsome face. You’re only allowed to go to the fourth floor, and I’m not allowed to? ”
Shen Chang did not make a sound, his eyes that were like a cold pond stared straight at her, clearly reflecting her fair face, and his small movements while frowning.
Shen Chang’s gaze caused her hair to stand on end, and she had a bad premonition. However, she thought that he had not exposed his weakness, so he calmed himself down and said, “I know that there is always something going on between us, but it is better for us to go out and settle things.”
Shen Chang remained silent and only stared at her, causing his to feel as if there were a lot of fine, long hairs growing out from her chest, which made her feel even more uneasy.
“You really know how to act!” “Before, by pretending in front of me, you made me believe that you were related to me, but now, you are pretending in front of me. Do you think that this way, I won’t be able to recognize you?” Shen Chang sneered.
Gu Qing’s eyes flashed, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” As she spoke, she moved forward.
Shen Chang did not stop her, and only stared at her back and said: “Gu Qing, tell me, if the Sect Leader s of Huaqing Palace knew that you had become an inner disciple in the Xuanhua Sect, and the Sect Leader s knew that you were once a disciple of Huaqing Palace, what would be the consequences?”
Gu Qing’s figure suddenly stopped, and she turned her head to glare at him, “Are you threatening me?”
Shen Chang laughed, with his hands behind his back, he walked towards her while pacing, “Wrong! I’m not threatening you. I just wanted to tell you that you’re in a very bad situation and that I’m the only one who can help you. ”
“Thank you. I don’t need your help.” Gu Qing did not believe that Shen Chang would show such good intentions. After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
But right at that moment, Shen Chang’s figure flashed, he suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing and pulled her into his embrace.
Gu Qing was startled and started to struggle, “Shen Chang, have you gone mad? Do you really have to force me to attack you in front of the Xuanhua Sect disciples? ”
Shen Chang chuckled, and tied her up, preventing her from moving, “That’s right, I am crazy, to actually like a woman with thorns all over her body! If I wanted to reveal your identity, why wait until now? You couldn’t stay in the Xuanhua Sect since long ago! ”
Gu Qing didn’t know what kind of medicine Shen Chang ate wrong, but she knew that Shen Chang was as cunning as a fox, and definitely not someone who could be easily trusted.
Seeing Gu Qing had quietened down, he thought her own words had worked, so she said again: “Be at ease, I really want to marry you this time. Once you marry me, I will protect you for the rest of your life.”
But just as he finished speaking, Gu Qing shouted out in panic, “Martial Uncle Yuan Lang, save me!”
Shen Chang immediately turned his head, only to see Yuan Lang’s green face standing behind them, “Shen Chang, what are you doing? Don’t forget that you’re someone who has a fiancee! ”
Shen Chang immediately let go of Gu Qing, but he felt a bit bitter in his heart. He did not want to speak out the truth that Zi Jin was Gu Qing, not only did he promise Gu Qing, but he also wanted to say the truth because he could tell that Senior Brother Yuan Lang was interested in him. If such a normal appearance could even arouse his interest, and let him know that Zi Jin was a beautiful and radiant Gu Qing that could topple nations, then he did not dare to guarantee that Senior Brother Yuan Lang would not fight over it with him.
An opponent of Golden Core Stage, and also an elite disciple whom Xuanhua Sect had focused on nurturing, he didn’t want to have such an opponent.
Thinking about it here, Shen Chang moved his lips and said: “My fiancee and I have already broken off our engagement.”
Yuan Lang walked over in large strides and pulled Gu Qing behind him, “So what? Just by breaking the engagement, he would be able to scheme against Zi Jin? “Without my permission, stop touching me!”
Shen Chang glanced at the lady hiding behind Yuan Lang, raising his eyebrows and smiling at him. He had truly underestimated her. He ground his teeth. How he loved and hated his!
Gu Qing heaved a sigh of relief. With Yuan Lang around, she was not afraid of Shen Chang doing anything, and with no solid evidence, Yuan Lang would not believe his words.
Just as the three of them were at a stalemate, a hoarse scream suddenly came from within the tower …
