Chapter 137 Cooperation
Finally, Gu Yuchuan spoke first. It wasn't that he couldn't hold back; he was quite good at maintaining his composure and wouldn't be unable to endure such a short time. It was simply unnecessary; continuing like this would be a pure waste of time. So, he spoke up.
"Does Lord Daojun have anything you wish to ask this junior?"
How could Xuanming Daojun not have it? On the contrary, he had too many questions in his mind.
However, he clearly hadn't expected Gu Yuchuan to be so straightforward and ask so directly, so there was no need for him to keep up appearances: "Alright, let's get straight to the point. You don't seem to be from the Canglan Realm. Where are you from? What's your purpose?"
Gu Yuchuan had already thought of this explanation; a mix of truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, was necessary to make the other party believe it.
"Little demon Gu Yuchuan, as for my bloodline, senior should be able to tell. I am indeed a mid-grade spirit beast, a viper. As you said, senior, I am not a cultivator from the Canglan Realm. I come from the Qingyuan Realm, a world that was just discovered by the Canglan Realm. However, the Canglan Realm's first wave of probing has already killed us all. That's why our world's senior sent me here."
Although Faming Daojun had guessed the identity of this otherworldly cultivator, he was still somewhat wary now that he had admitted it. Although he couldn't leave, he knew that under Liu Xiu's leadership, the Canglan Realm was constantly devouring otherworldly realms. Conversely, otherworldly realms could also devour them. Even if the otherworldly cultivators helped them now, would they eventually devour them? These were all unknowns.
He continued, "This is exactly what I guessed. However, there's something I don't understand. How did you find out the location of my Immortal Path? My Immortal Path has been able to hide for so long, so its secrecy must be sufficient. I don't believe you could find out so easily."
Gu Yuchuan had anticipated this. After all, he couldn't reveal that he had some kind of precognitive ability based on a simulator. He paused for a moment and said, "Senior, you might not believe me, but it is indeed true. I have no reason to lie to you. From the moment I entered this world, I felt a kind of guidance that led me here. It was like destiny. No matter which way I went, I ended up here."
This is actually pure deception. Others may not know, but Daoist Faming knows very well that their base survived because of the protection of the Heavenly Dao. Now he can't help but wonder if Gu Yuchuan's arrival is a guidance from the Heavenly Dao. He can only test it again.
His tone was much calmer: "Okay, I believe you. Then tell me straight, what are you doing here?"
Gu Yuchuan's face showed a hint of joy. Finally, the other party couldn't hold back any longer: "Of course they came to ask for help. If the Tech Immortal Path wants to attack us, we will naturally fight back. Waiting to die is not our nature. Since they have made a move, we must make them pay the price."
This was exactly what Faming Daojun had expected: "Alright. What do you want us to do? What can you give us? Only after we've made the stakes clear can we proceed with the next steps."
His sudden frankness made Gu Yuchuan a little uncomfortable, but he quickly composed himself: "Senior, I am just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so I certainly can't make these decisions. However, I do have a way to connect you with our family's Venerable through some formations, and have a cultivator with a higher cultivation level talk to you. Is that alright?"
That's for sure. Gu Yuchuan's status and strength are completely insufficient. Talking to him doesn't represent the people behind him, and it doesn't even count.
Faming Daojun made himself appear much more amiable: "Alright, then you can begin setting up the formation. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'll do my best to help you."
Gu Yuchuan immediately nodded: "Senior, this formation is indeed not something I can set up. It requires the sacrifice of a person with profound fortune to activate it."
In an instant, Daoist Faming's expression turned extremely ugly, even showing signs of anger. Their immortal sect's base did indeed have two juniors with profound fortune, but they were the hope of their base. If they were gone, it would be as if the entire base was doomed, so naturally they could not agree to it.
However, Gu Yuchuan spoke up, which dispelled the other party's anger: "On my way here, I met a Qi Refining cultivator named Nalan Hong. He is the son of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord. His own luck should be sufficient. Capturing him and sacrificing him should be enough."
Upon hearing that it wasn't the people who sacrificed them, the Dao Lord's expression improved considerably.
“Alright, but Nalan Hong is the son of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, so he must have a powerful bodyguard around him. He should be a Golden Core cultivator. I can have Fairy Yuehua go with you. He is practically invincible among Golden Core cultivators, and he can also conceal his aura for a short time so that the technological immortal sects won't notice him.”
Gu Yuchuan was a little stunned for a moment. He meant that the other party should take action while he waited there. He didn't expect the other party to send a master to accompany him, which definitely increased his risk. However, the other party was a Nascent Soul Dao Lord, and since the words had already been spoken, there was no way for him to refuse. He could only agree.
"Then thank you very much, Daojun. With the help of a Golden Core cultivator, capturing him will definitely not be a problem."
Faming Daojun laughed happily: "Alright, then you can prepare your plan. I'll summon Fairy Yuehua over." He sent out a burst of magic power, and a moment later, Fairy Yuehua entered.
"Yuehua, get ready. You're going with this young friend Gu to capture a Qi Refining cultivator. Be careful; there's a Golden Core cultivator protecting him. Safety first, and don't expose yourself. Got it?"
This was a message to Fairy Yuehua: if they failed and were captured, they should immediately self-destruct, guaranteeing that both he and Gu Yuchuan would die. There absolutely could not be any risk of exposure. He trusted Fairy Yuehua wouldn't tell anyone, but he didn't trust Gu Yuchuan at all. After all, he wasn't a cultivator here; if he survived, he would definitely tell everything.
In an instant, the Moon Fairy understood: "Yes, I understand, I will definitely complete the mission."
Faming Daojun nodded and said, “Although your cultivation is high, you have not been out for a long time and are not familiar with the outside world. You may not even know the target you are supposed to capture. So after you go out, you must listen to Gu Xiaoyou. Don’t be arrogant just because his cultivation is lower than yours. This matter concerns whether we can survive and return to the outside world. We cannot afford to fail. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you responsible.”
She knelt down immediately and made a solemn pledge: "Don't worry, senior. This mission will only succeed, there will be no failure, unless I die."
After she finished speaking, Daoist Faming waved his hand and dismissed them.
