Above all spirits

Chapter 116 Smoke, No Injury

Didn't Ji Ning run off to call for Brother Gu?

Why are you taking so long...?

Shang Wenqing's expression was somewhat awkward. Although he knew Gu Yun should be nearby, and Ji Ning had been inside for some time, what if...?

He stomped his heel and his body suddenly retreated, hoping to buy himself as much time as possible.

The crimson cross-shaped blade of light was like an illusion, its tail passing through Su Xiaoqian, brushing past the airship, and rapidly following Shang Wenqing's figure backward.

It seems that this will only cause actual harm to Shang Wenqing.

"boom!"

A predetermined outcome, without external forces, will inevitably occur according to its original trajectory without any surprises.

"Fat!"

"Cough cough!"

The crimson blade light exploded with energy the instant it struck, as if the entire space had been ignited.

The air instantly became filled with moisture, making it incredibly humid and hot.

Su Xiaoqian fanned herself, coughed twice, her expression changed drastically, and her heart leaped into her throat.

A shadow instantly fell over her beautiful face, and all traces of her usual playfulness vanished.

"Crimson God Guard!"

"Earth General!"

"You really dared to do that!"

"If anything happens to my friend, I will have my mother tear down your entire Crimson God Palace!!"

The general remained unmoved, slowly landing on the airship and calmly saying.

"I have warned you many times that obstructing law enforcement is an act of hostility."

"Please forgive me, Third Princess, but please let me keep the Imperial Decree for you."

It was as if the dust had already settled on the side shrouded in smoke.

...

"Calm down, calm down. Don't you know the 'smoke does no harm' principle? The Shadow Guards aren't even worried yet."

"What's the rush, you little brat I just met a day ago?"

A lazy voice descended from the sky, its source unknown.

Su Xiaoqian turned her worry into joy and said as she turned around.

"Brother Gu, you've finally arrived!"

He took two steps back and cautiously looked around.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Jiang launched a fierce attack, creating distance between himself and the shadow guard he had been entangled with. He then flashed to the side of the ground general, about to angrily shout curses.

The Earth General gestured to the Black General not to say anything more.

He had not sensed this person's presence before, and even now, though he could hear his voice, he could not find its source. His strength must not be weak, he said in a deep voice.

"Who are you?"

"We two are the Earthly Profound Two of the Crimson God Temple of the Crimson Flame Empire..."

"Okay, okay."

"Isn't it tiring to have to introduce yourself every time you appear on stage?"

"After watching the play for a while, I roughly understood what it was all about."

A man dressed in black slowly emerged from the white smoke, his every move accompanied by wisps of golden light, exuding nobility.

Shang Wenqing, who had been embarrassed, swaggered out with arrogance.

He has already learned some of Ji Ning's true skills.

Gu Yun wasn't so young and impetuous as to immediately start a fight.

Moreover, this masked man with the character "地" (earth) is no ordinary person. He was unable to touch the cross-shaped blade light carrying the imperial will at the first moment. In the emergency, he used his power assimilation to save Shang Wenqing.

He spoke in the same bland manner.

"Everyone should take a step back."

"Let's stop here."

"We will go with you to meet the Empress."

"But don't be too aggressive."

“Su girl is right. Your law enforcement agencies have overstepped their bounds by using the authority of the administrative agencies.”

Seeing that Gu Yun was so young, Xuan Jiang subconsciously looked down on him and stepped forward.

"and who are you?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"This is an internal matter of our Crimson Flame Empire. The Crimson God Guards have their own rules and regulations. What right do you have to interfere?!"

Gu Yun shook his head.

"It doesn't matter who I am."

"In this dog-eat-dog world, isn't the most crucial thing that strength reigns supreme?"

He then released the power that was acting on him: stealth.

Even the Demon Lord might not be able to detect Gu Yun's presence while he is in stealth mode.

Not to mention someone who isn't even born with congenital defects.

Even if the power used is low-level soul power.

But even a saint cannot perceive it.

And just as the stealth was completely removed.

The man's pupils contracted slightly beneath the mask bearing the character "地" (earth).

Bloodshot eyes!

Peak of the Holy Body!

A unique sense of air!

Judging from his appearance, he's no more than thirty!

Especially the sensation of that golden aura.

This is a kind of aura that, although it seems to belong to the aura of a saint, is even more unique than the aura of a saint!

innate...?

Therefore, the conclusion can be summed up in just two words.

God!

wrong! wrong!

It's a demon with golden aura!

The general's tone began to turn cold.

"demon?!"

"Third Princess, I need a reasonable explanation for why there are demons around you!"

"You haven't already made a pact with the devil, have you?"

"This is insane! If the Empress were to..."

Su Xiaoqian frowned slightly, somewhat bewildered by what she was hearing.

"What are you talking about?"

"Is Brother Gu a demon?"

"I didn't sign any contract."

"Besides, how could a demon possibly appear..."

"Cough cough."

Gu Yun coughed twice. How could he have forgotten about this? Given this girl's big mouth and lack of common sense, if he hadn't explained, the whole world would probably know about the fact that a demon could cross over to the other side by the next day.

He quickly sent a telepathic message.

"Girl, didn't I tell you my identity can't be revealed?"

"It's fine if you tell your mother, but right now, the demon is the identity I use to cover up my existence in the mortal realm. If you reveal my true identity, I'm leaving."

Su Xiaoqian called out twice.

In his haste, he forgot that Gu Yun's voice was transmitted through sound and blurted it out.

"No! No!"

Gu Yun: ?

Earth General, Dark General: ?

Shang Wenqing: ?

Realizing something was wrong, Su Xiaoqian immediately covered her mouth, her mind racing, and said...

"Oh dear, can't you tell whether my soul is complete or not, you're just a kid who's only just entered the realm of the Overlord Body?"

"Brother Gu is a good devil; he never talks about the soul."

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

"correct!"

"My mother knows about this too!"

The general hesitated for a moment. He was initially worried, after all, the Third Princess's temperament was well known to almost everyone in the empire.

However, things changed slightly after Su Xiaoqian finished speaking her last sentence.

The Empress knew too?

That's another matter.

I doubt Su Xiaoqian would speak carelessly.

Then he closed his eyes and sensed it for a while.

Indeed, as he said, his soul was complete.

The ground crew breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The airship issue is almost entirely a procedural matter; in the end, it should be resolved without any major problems.

But if something really happens to the Third Princess, the Crimson Flame Empire will truly be thrown into chaos.

He then sheathed the crimson longsword in his hand, took a deep breath, and turned to Gu Yun.

"Gu... Demon Envoy?"

"I'm sorry, but I still can't believe you. The situation is special right now, and the requirement for your companions wouldn't have affected our original itinerary at all."

"It's just a formality."

"But now I'm afraid you'll have to come with us."

"In return, Third Princess, you will continue to keep the Empress's token for the time being."

"Let the Empress handle the rest."

"However, the airship must be under the control of the two of us."

"This is what we came here for."

I hope you understand!
