Chapter 99
: One luxurious item, and you can follow me!
Leave the prison.
Golden lights flashed through Gu Lin's mind, converging into the three large characters "Success and Virtue Book".
[Slaying a Class B 6 criminal, slaying a Class B 5 criminal... reward: a max-level Grand Stele Judge!]
[Martial Arts Merit Points: 5682/80000]
[Confucian and Taoist Merit Points: 756/80000]
[Merit Points in Taoist Arts: 3526/10000]
[Witchcraft Merit Points: 4723/10000]
In an instant, Gu Lin's true essence in his dantian rose again, though it was not yet at the level of breaking through to the next realm.
Gu Lin immediately flipped through the book of merits.
"That's incredible!"
The Great Stele Judgment Hand is undoubtedly used in conjunction with the Royal Dao Technique, the Imperial Ultimate World-Governing Technique.
The power of the Kingly Judgment!
The handprint, like a heavenly monument, suppresses everything!
"Comfortable."
Gu Lin was in a good mood and headed to Rain Curtain Mountain.
The sacred Luoxia Mountain in Chuzhou is known for its magnificent spiritual energy at the summit, which creates a hazy sunset. In contrast, the sacred Yumu Mountain in Anzhou is shrouded in a misty rain and fog that is said to be the liquefaction of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
When the man in the snow-white official robes of the mythical beast Xie Zhi stepped onto Yumu Mountain, he quickly caused a stir.
The winner of the grand competition at the sacred site of Chuzhou.
He was also a candidate for the position of 100 households in the East Temple!
He truly has both prestige and status.
"It seems they're preparing to be teleported to Sunset Mountain, forced to accept the challenge of the Nine Yang Sacred Body. They'd rather suffer a crushing defeat than bear the stigma of cowardice."
"Two punches are enough. Even someone as powerful as Xue Fu, with his ancient sword body, couldn't withstand three punches!"
"Two punches? He barely won against Huo Fengchun, who possessed the Brahma Battle Body. Could Huo Fengchun withstand a single sword strike from Xue Fu? He only needed one punch against Wei Zai!"
"If it weren't for his ranking on the Hidden Dragon Yellow List, Wei Zai would never have waited for him, waiting for a battle with no suspense."
The cavalrymen within a radius of several miles discussed this in hushed tones.
This is not meant to be derogatory.
Dongsi Shibaihu is indeed very strong, and the title of champion of Chuzhou is well-deserved.
However, the exchange among the three states of Luoxia Mountain has already proven that Wei Zai is far ahead, leading in all aspects, including talent, combat power, and domineering and invincible spirit.
Of course, in terms of power and status, this Gu Shi Hundred-Household Commander was far ahead.
"Just wait for the good news." Several elite cavalrymen from the Holy Land smiled. They were not looking forward to this duel, but rather to Wei Zai's ranking on the Hidden Dragon Yellow List.
Gu Lin headed to the Daoji Division of the sacred site of Yumu Mountain.
After explaining their purpose, a woman in her fifties led the way.
Gu Lin followed closely behind.
The two arrived at a dark abyss, where a staircase led to the bottom of the abyss.
After walking about a hundred steps, a blood-red disc resembling an altar comes into view, with a complete map of the territory of the Feathered Divine Dynasty carved on it, containing hundreds of coordinates.
Gu Lin had already cultivated the Dao of Arts, and he could now see at a glance the extremely profound and complex spatial and temporal array laws behind the disc imprint.
"Where to?"
Three powerful figures, clad in official robes adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, emerged from the darkness.
"Luoxia Mountain in Chuzhou".
"20,000 contribution points."
"Spirit stones as payment."
After Gu Lin finished speaking, he handed over the twenty top-grade spirit stones that had been prepared.
The three powerful figures took the tokens, stuffed ten top-grade spirit stones into the array holes, and then handed Gu Lin a teleportation token.
With a loud rumble.
The blood-red disc suddenly cracked open, revealing a small pavilion that could accommodate several people.
Gu Lin gripped the token and leaped into the pavilion.
At this moment, he clearly felt the power of the array's laws surging, and the teleportation token in his hand was actually the core of the spatial law storm array.
Gu Lin closed his eyes to rest.
It was just that the body would sometimes fall downwards and sometimes move sideways. Of course, for a cultivator, this fluctuation would not have any impact.
A confined space, three long hours.
As the teleportation token shone brightly, it shattered with a loud crash, and the grand formation suddenly activated, revealing a staircase before them.
Gu Lin climbed the steps.
Several officials from the Chuzhou Daoji Division stood atop the abyss.
After exchanging greetings, Gu Lin headed to the Martial Arts Cliff.
He couldn't help but grumble to himself. If he weren't in a hurry, he would rather travel and enjoy the scenery along the way than sit in the confined formation for three hours and waste twenty top-grade spirit stones.
However, one must admit the ingenuity of the teleportation array; a journey that would take more than ten days can be completed in just three hours.
.......
News of Gu Lin's return quickly spread throughout Luoxia Mountain.
Inside the VIP building, the Nine Yang Holy Body, with long, fiery red hair, headed towards the Martial Arts Cliff.
A moment later, Xue Fu, the ancient swordsman, also appeared at the Martial Arts Cliff.
Do you know why I've been waiting for you?
"Suppress you so that I, Wei Zai, can rank higher? No."
"It's giving you a chance to follow me."
Before Wei Zai Ren arrived, a hearty laugh rang out.
"I was born with the might of nine blazing suns within me, and my parents bathed me in a pool of demonic blood for eighty-one days. I was born to become the master of martial arts, born to be a king, ruling over the eight wastelands!"
"To follow me in the underground world is the greatest honor of your life!"
"With your mastery of Confucianism, martial arts, and Gu poison, you are qualified to become my follower."
Upon hearing this, many members of the Chu State Holy Land suddenly realized what was going on.
No wonder the Nine Yang Sacred Body was willing to wait so long.
He could easily suppress the ancient sword body, so his ranking on the Hidden Dragon Yellow List must be quite high. He didn't need to defeat the weaker Chuzhou champion to prove himself.
It turns out he wanted to recruit the champion of the Chu State Grand Competition!
Yes, in the Cruel Caverns, having an extra useful follower means an extra battle record, and having three fellow cultivators is definitely a great help.
but......
He appointed the East Temple Trial Hundred Household Officer as a follower of the Martial Arts Hall's Junior Banner Officer.
This is an absolute insult!
"How dare you!"
In an instant, too many figures in official robes bearing the mythical beast Xie Zhi (a mythical beast) flew into a rage:
"Don't you respect hierarchy? Doesn't your Anzhou teach proper etiquette?"
"Although Lord Gu's strength is far inferior to yours, how can you disrespect his status and position? You must address him respectfully as Lord Gu!!"
Wei Zai said casually:
"In the underground world of the war between humans and demons, is power and status the deciding factor? Whoever has the higher rank wins?"
"I'm only giving you one chance to follow me!"
Only after speaking did he look directly at the figure in the snow-white xiezhi robe.
At the same time, Xue Fu, the ancient swordsman clad in a black Qilin robe, clasped his hands in a salute and said softly:
"Lord Gu, please enlighten me."
Although his tone was calm, it conveyed a sense of unwavering confidence.
He was determined to win a victory and avenge his defeat, aiming to climb even higher on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.
The atmosphere around them was as stiff as iron.
The members of the East Temple Holy Land had gloomy expressions on their faces.
No matter who challenges him, he will lose. But since Lord Gu has a higher official rank, he will definitely lose if he accepts the challenge, which will always be a loss of face.
Especially this Wei Zai, who actually made Lord Gu a follower, is simply turning the tables and showing no respect for hierarchy!
Huo Fengchun, Pei Hao, and the others sighed inwardly.
Gu Lin has no chance of winning and will inevitably suffer a double defeat.
In other words, the record of the top three teams in the Chuzhou Grand Competition is three wins and three losses.
They don't seem to have suffered any losses, but they are far behind Anzhou in terms of top-tier combat power.
Just as everyone was staring intently at the figure in white robes, he suddenly spoke:
"Stop arguing, let's all attack together."
In an instant, all was silent at the Martial Arts Cliff.
Everyone's expression froze, incredulous.
Golden lights flashed through Gu Lin's mind, converging into the three large characters "Success and Virtue Book".
[Slaying a Class B 6 criminal, slaying a Class B 5 criminal... reward: a max-level Grand Stele Judge!]
[Martial Arts Merit Points: 5682/80000]
