Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 463: Ji Mengli's scheming was in vain, but she ended up becoming Lu Zhan's lackey

The black crack was like a thorn between heaven and earth, tearing the sky in half. A strange and terrifying aura escaped, as if endless darkness was spreading.

This scene was truly earth-shattering.

Lu Zhan thought about it carefully, and explained with a mixture of truth and falsehood:

"I got a key from the underground palace of Nanping Mountain. The key is strange. I poured my true Qi into it, but I didn't expect this strange phenomenon to happen. It's really bizarre."

Tushan Shiyu looked at Lu Zhan's profile. He was handsome and serious, and he didn't look like he was lying at all. Instead, he looked like he was explaining something gently to a close friend. She felt a little comforted and said with some shame:

"I see... Lu Xiaofeng, I didn't follow you with malicious intent. It's just that after meeting Senior Wei yesterday, I felt that you weren't being honest enough, so I did this."

Lu Zhan waved his hands, looking nonchalant:

"It's okay. You don't have to explain to me. We are friends. Even if you follow me for a few steps, what's the big deal? But judging from your negotiations with the Grand Master, you two are very familiar with each other?"

Tushan Shiyu felt that Lu Zhan's words were heartwarming, so he didn't want to guess whether they were true or not, and instead talked about the past events of King Qingqiu:

"In fact, I am not familiar with Senior Wei. I have only heard my father mention him. When my father was young, he attended the Great Zhou as a prince and almost made a marriage contract with Senior Wei. However, Senior Wei looked down on my father and declined the marriage. Later, my father married my mother."

"..."

Declined...

Ha ha…

Lu Zhan had heard of this strange story. Rather than saying it was a polite refusal, it was more like the Grand Master was so tough that he scared the King of Qingqiu away.

The King of Qingqiu wanted to marry a normal woman, not a female tyrant who was extremely strong, had a bad temper, and was cynical.

However, this was after all the business of the elders, and it concerned Shiyu's father, so it was not easy to discuss it. Lu Zhan did not respond, but looked into the distance.

At the end of the Wuhai Sea, there was a barren forest. At this moment, the forest shook, and dozens of true qi came from all directions, all heading towards the crack in the east.

Seeing this scene, Lu Zhan sped up a little.

As the distance got closer, the black gap became clearer and it actually looked like an evil eye.

“This is…” Tushan Shiyu looked ahead, and suddenly showed joy, but soon frowned again: “The Eye of the Gu God… This place is actually the Qianjue Valley that has disappeared for thousands of years! The location of the Gu God’s Palace!”

Lu Zhan frowned: "Eye of the Gu God?"

Is this name a bit unconventional?

Tushan Shiyu drew out his spear, eager to try:

"The Gu God is a Gu, and his eyes are different from those of common creatures. He only has a long single eye. It is said that when the Gu God built the palace, the symbol of the palace was a long and narrow eye, which was called the Eye of the Gu God. It seems that this black gap is the entrance to the palace. Entering from here should be the Thousand Absolute Valley."

Lu Zhan didn't say anything, but reached out and put the stone man away.

If he guessed correctly, the stone man was running so hard because he sensed the aura of the divine stone after opening the Thousand Absolute Valley. There was some kind of mysterious attraction between the two that prompted the stone man to run wildly.

But the magic stone is hidden in the Thousand Absolute Valley, and now the first thing to appear is the Gu God Palace, which may be full of dangers. Lu Zhan cannot take the lead like a fool and become a stepping stone for others. He has to observe the situation before making a decision.

Although the matter of the sacred stone is urgent, we must not lose our composure.

"Rumble..."

The Eye of the Gu God vibrated slightly, and the black crack gradually grew larger, as if it was tearing the barrier apart bit by bit, gradually revealing half of the city.

The city was completely pitch black, standing between the sky and the earth, exuding a terrifying aura, like a demon city from ancient times, which made people shudder.

The so-called Eye of the Gu God became clearer and clearer, revealing a little blood-red in the darkness, evil and weird, like the gate to hell.

Lu Zhan and Tushan Shiyu stopped in mid-air, watching the cultivators coming from all directions.

"This is just making wedding clothes for others."

Tushan Shiyu showed regret on her face. Qianjue Valley was indeed dangerous, but the more dangerous a place was, the more benefits it had. The magic stone might be among them, and she didn't want to share it with others.

Unfortunately, an existence of the level of Qianjue Valley, no matter who holds the key to open it, will cause a stir in the world of immortal cultivation and will inevitably attract many people to come and share the pie.

Lu Zhan didn't mind.

If he didn't have the stone man, he might be as worried as Tushan Shiyu.

But now he has the stone man in his hand. As long as the magic stone comes out, he will be able to find the magic stone with this "key".

In this case, it's not a bad idea to have someone act as a stepping stone.

Seeing more and more cultivators, Lu Zhan pricked his ears slightly and heard a chaotic conversation:

“Thousand Absolute Valley… Oh my god… After thousands of years, I didn’t expect that Thousand Absolute Valley would actually appear in the world…”

"Could it be that the Gu God, who has fallen for countless years, is actually going to be resurrected?"

"The resurrection of the Gu God is just a rumor, how can we take it seriously?"

"But after the death of Gu God, Qian Jue Valley disappeared. There are rumors that the day Qian Jue Valley appears in the world is the day when Gu God is resurrected. Now who can guarantee whether it is a blessing or a curse?"

"..."

The cultivators looked at the city standing in the air with shocked expressions. In the ancient times, the Gu God was the number one devil in southern Xinjiang, causing chaos and killing countless people. Now that they saw the Gu God's palace with their own eyes, they were all excited and heavy-hearted.

Some practitioners felt that this was a bad sign.

But there are also cultivators who believe that no matter whether it is a blessing or a curse, as long as they can obtain the secret treasure, it is a good thing.

Thinking back to the time when the Gu God killed countless human geniuses, there must be many magical instruments and treasures in his palace. Since I have the chance to witness the palace appear in the world, I naturally have to go and see it, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste of fate?

Tushan Shiyu was eager to try, but seeing that Lu Zhan was calm and composed and didn't seem to have any intention of going in, he couldn't help but ask, "You're not going in?"

Lu Zhan put his hands behind his back, stared at the awe-inspiring black city, and shook his head:

"I'm not in a hurry. I don't know the specific situation inside yet. I'd better wait and see. If the princess is in a hurry, she can go in and take a look first."

"..."

Tushan Shiyu thought for a moment. She originally wanted to go forward and retreat together with Lu Zhan, but she also wanted to go to Qianjue Valley to look for the magic stone. This matter could not be delayed. It would be bad if the magic stone was taken away by others. After thinking it over, she could only say:

"Then I'll go in and take a look. If you have anything, feel free to contact me."

Lu Zhan was about to separate from her, but when he heard this, he nodded and said, "Be careful."

Only after Tushan Shiyu left did Lu Zhan look towards the Gu God Palace.

The Gu God Palace has been completely exposed, and endless dark clouds are rolling over the city, forming a sharp contrast with the sunny weather outside. It's like two different worlds, and the sense of division is very strong.

Hundreds of cultivators were already impatient to enter. Lu Zhan waited for a moment, and seeing that no brutal killing had broken out inside, he flew in.

……

Rustling, rustling~

The Gu God's Palace is majestic and magnificent, with thick and tall black walls. The walls have been eroded by time and are mottled with dark red blood. In addition, there are countless traces of battles, all of which show the cruelty of the war.

“Click~~”

There was a slight noise coming from the ground. Lu Zhan looked down and saw countless corpses lying in the city.

These bones have long since decayed after being ravaged by the years, and now they turn into ashes if you step on them lightly.

The cultivators rushed into the palace one after another, all wanting to eat the "crabs" in the Gu God's palace.

Lu Zhan did not move forward. He stood in front of the door of the Gu God Palace and took out the stone man.

"Whoosh~"

The stone man seemed to be psychic. He suddenly flew into the air and fled into the distance.

Lu Zhan followed closely behind, following the stone man as he flew across the black city and towards the distant mountains.

The Gu God Palace was originally built in the Thousand Absolute Valley. Although it was magnificent and huge, it was just a building in the Thousand Absolute Valley. Flying over this complex of buildings, in the distance there were lush green mountains and clear gurgling streams, like a paradise.

Lu Zhan was not born in the era of the Gu God, but he could guess the Gu God's psychology.

Qianjue Valley is rich in spiritual energy and full of fairy flowers. It is a rare paradise. When the Gu God traveled here, he felt that this place was destined for him, so he urinated on it to mark the territory, built a palace here, and occupied this holy land.

However, the Palace of the Gu God is eerie and mysterious, and ordinary cultivators dare not approach it. Over time, Qianjue Valley has become synonymous with "the Palace of the Gu God", and people have gradually overlooked the essence of Qianjue Valley, which is a beautiful fairyland.

"What a pity..."

Lu Zhan looked at the gloomy demon city in the distance and felt that the Gu God was not worthy of building a nest here. The one who was truly destined to this place should be him, Lu.

But the most important thing now is to find the magic stone.

Lu Zhan sped all the way, and after flying over two mountains, the stone man finally showed signs of slowing down. It no longer insisted on flying in the sky, but dived into the water.

"thump!"

The calm lake splashed with water, and the stone man disappeared from sight in an instant.

Lu Zhan jumped into the water without thinking. He had the mermaid's talent of "singing and swimming". After entering the water, he was no different from a mermaid. Soon he found the location of the stone man.

The clear riverbed is covered with various stones. The stone man is quietly inserted between the stones, with golden light blooming all over his body.

Lu Zhan swam closer, stretched out his hand to pull up the stone man, and heard a "ding" sound.

Then, an ordinary pebble was lifted up by the stone man. The pebble was simple in color, showing a dull grayish yellow, about the size of an egg, and looked nothing special.

"..."

Lu Zhan exhaled slowly and reached out to touch the pebbles.

The Grand Master once said that the divine stone looks ordinary, but once you touch it, you will know that it is the divine stone.

The moment Lu Zhan touched the pebble, the originally ordinary stone suddenly shone brightly, and a golden aura rushed straight into the sky, extremely sacred.

At the same time, Lu Zhan sensed an extremely complex information constantly pouring into his mind.

This information contains many feelings, including sacredness, majesty, vastness, sadness, excitement and many other feelings mixed together to form complex "information".

This ordinary stone seemed to encompass all the feelings of the world, and at the same time carried a mystery that Lu Zhan could not understand.

Lu Zhan was shocked and almost instantly concluded that this was the magic stone!

Lu Zhan didn't want to delay, so he soared into the sky holding the magic stone. However, he saw that the pillar of light formed by the magic stone suddenly dissipated into smoke in mid-air, and the smoke slowly condensed into a woman with extraordinary beauty.

The woman was dressed in a rosy dress and had a golden phoenix crown on her head. She had an extremely cold and beautiful appearance, and a noble and domineering temperament. She was truly a stunning beauty.

At this moment, the woman's pair of phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and a powerful and terrifying aura emanated from her body, which made people terrified.

"!"

The moment Lu Zhan saw the woman, his expression changed drastically.

The woman in the sky looks exactly like the Grand Master!

However, this woman was just an illusion cast by the magic stone, not the Grand Master herself. But even so, Lu Zhan was shocked.

He knew that the Grand Master was deeply involved with the South China Sea and the Divine Stone, but he did not expect that the Divine Stone, as an alien object, would actually project the Grand Master's phantom. Although it was only an illusory shadow, Lu Zhan sensed a heavy sense of fate from it.

While Lu Zhan was stunned, the stunning beauty standing in the void raised her white hand and pointed her jade finger towards the sky.

The originally sunny sky suddenly changed color.
