Above all spirits

Chapter 26 I am the Shadow Demon alone

“Master, you are attached to appearances.”

Gu Yun smiled.

Yan Wuge was not surprised; his performance was too obvious.

"Hmph, I will make all the demons who participated in the capture pay the price!"

"A hundred years have passed. These memories have probably faded from their minds, becoming insignificant, but for me, they are still vivid in my memory!"

Gu Yun nodded in agreement.

"Master, aren't you afraid of starting a war between demons and gods?"

Yan Wuge gave a disdainful smile.

“They don’t have the guts, otherwise they wouldn’t have let me go back then.”

"They are all bullies who prey on the weak. In my eyes, they are weaklings because no strong person is willing to stand up for them!"

Gu Yun: 666!

"To get back to the point, I now intend to pass on everything about Liuyun to you. In the future, you can pass it on to a Shadow Demon you trust. This may not be an honor, nor a reward. You may have to lie low for a long time because of this, or you may be hunted by many demons again in the future. Are you willing to bear this karma?"

Yan Wuge suddenly said seriously.

"Master, aren't you afraid I'll resell them to those powerful and wicked people?"

Gu Yun grinned.

Yan Wuge and he exchanged a smile.

"Then I'll pretend I was blind. Would you?"

Gu Yun turned around and looked at the somewhat deserted street outside the door.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Me? I'm the complete opposite of you, Master. I also have a girl I care about very much. I would give anything for her, but she's currently being hidden away by some hypocritical gods, so I desperately need power."

Yan Wuge read out Gu Yun's answer, but Gu Yun's words surprised him somewhat.

No wonder.

No wonder.

I find this kid quite pleasing to the eye.

He said he would never misjudge people.

Gu Yun's words just now made my heart skip a beat.

I was being superficial.

The source of that belief that one would risk their life to gain power.

It's not for money, power, or status.

Rather, it stemmed from the same initial intention as him.

To protect the people you care about.

The girl he's talking about probably isn't a demon.

Otherwise, something would have happened long ago, and Gu Yun wouldn't be speaking in this tone.

Protoss?

Oh no, my gossipy nature is kicking in!

However, I still have more worries. Although there are many vicious demons, the gods are not exactly benevolent either.

He didn't want to see Gu Yun follow the same old path.

"Hmm? That girl is a god? Do you know which god race she is? Was she captured?"

Gu Yun shook his head.

"I don't know. I only know that it's related to the fairy realm in the Alpha Dimension. I'm not very clear on how I left, so I can't explain it to you."

Yan Wuge narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"The gods worshipped in the fairy realm, the natural star field, that's alright. Although those nature gods are stubborn and reclusive, they are indeed a relatively peaceful group, and they are generally considered friendly in their dealings with people. You don't need to worry about their safety."

Gu Yun raised an eyebrow; it was pretty much what Werner had said.

The fact that the evaluations from both high-level and low-level people are consistent suggests that it is indeed a widely accepted view.

"Do you need Master's help? Putting aside everything else, I can easily pull someone out for you, as long as it's not a saintess or the daughter of a god-king."

Yan Wuge seemed to want to do Gu Yun a small favor before planning his revenge.

Gu Yun shook his head.

"She's in the Alpha Dimension. I'll go there myself then. Master, when are you planning to set off?"

Suddenly, a black box with a red jade border appeared in Yan Wuge's hand.

It was thrown towards Gu Yun.

Gu Yun reached out and took it without hesitation and opened it.

Take the contents out of the box. It is a silver bracelet with a blue heart-shaped gemstone hanging in the middle. If you look closely, you can see a faint "燕" (swallow) character inside the gemstone.

"No rush. This bracelet has a storage function. Although the space is not large, you can use your soul essence to sense it. Her insights and understanding are all inside. Study hard during this time. Ask me if you don't understand anything."

"Master, are you also a master of power?"

"No, I'm not, but I've been watching for a hundred years. Even a fool could learn it. Don't worry, although I'm not a member of the Shadow Demon clan, I'm more than capable of guiding you."

Gu Yun stared at it for a while longer, then smiled.

"But Master, isn't this style a women's style?"

Yan Wuge turned his head away and snorted coldly.

"So what."

“This is for your master’s wife. This is not for you. It’s for my disciple’s wife. You have to deliver it to her properly.”

Gu Yun put it away.

"Thank you, Master. It's so good that I wasn't taken in as an apprentice by other craft shops."

Yan Wuge suddenly put his palms together in front of his chest, pretending to be a actor.

"I take refuge in the Buddha of the Supreme Heaven. Benefactor, our meeting today is predestined. Everything is due to fate and cause and effect."

Gu Yun waved his hand, laughing and scolding.

"Master, this style doesn't suit you. Why don't you shave your head first?"

"By the way, was this bracelet given away before? Was Master's wife happy at the time?"

Yan Wuge recalled briefly and then suddenly laughed.

"Of course, your teacher's wife was so moved that she cried. It was the first time I had ever seen her like that."

Suddenly, Yan Wuge felt a pang of pity. Perhaps it was Heaven's sympathy for these two men who shared the same fate that brought them together here. Was everything truly preordained?

Gu Yun: There's nothing I can do, fate is in my hands.

“That period of time is a beautiful memory for me forever, Gu Yun. I sincerely hope that you and your apprentice’s wife will have a bright future.”

Gu Yun nodded, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, Master."

“However, my master and I are different. She and I grew up together. We have no parents or elders. When we were young, we only had an old lady who was half buried to take care of us. She has also left us now.”

“We are each other’s one and only, so if this world destroys her, I don’t know what I would do, I can hardly imagine it myself.”

"I could very well destroy the world."

Yan Wuge was slightly taken aback and met Gu Yun's gaze.

He seemed to see the contradiction in Gu Yun's eyes, a hint of confusion mixed with a hint of violence, and slowly approached Gu Yun, patting him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, although the gods of the nature faction may be a bit rigid, their nature belongs to the lawful and good faction. I was fortunate enough to visit once, believe me."

Gu Yun responded with a faint "yes".

“Come on, come upstairs with me to pay respects to your master’s wife. I’ve erected a cenotaph for her. You can disown me as your master, or you can disregard me as your master. In fact, I’m just an intermediary.”

“After all, strictly speaking, Liu Yun is your true master. Even if I, a god, wanted to teach you many of my powers, you would hardly be able to learn them.”

"Liu Yun has passed on everything she has in her life to you. She hopes that you will not let her down and that one day you will be able to fulfill her long-cherished wish and lead the Shadow Demon Clan to the peak."

Watching Yan Wuge's retreating figure gradually disappear into the shadows.

Gu Yun got up and followed before his figure completely disappeared into the shadows.

Yes.

Ye Liuyun was his true master.

Although Gu Yun and Ye Liuyun have never met.

However, Gu Yun genuinely acknowledged this master.

She possesses admirable conviction and selfless nobility.

However, we should change our address now and call you Master's Wife.

Master's wife, I'm so sorry.

I have no goodwill towards those Shadow Demons who persecuted you; in fact, I feel some disgust towards them.

Honestly, if I eventually succeed in my cultivation, they'll be lucky if they don't have to join their master in seeking revenge for you.

Therefore, I will not lead them, much less help them in the slightest.

But don't worry, I've got the Shadow Demons covered.

So what if he's a demon king? So what if he's a god king?

I alone am the Shadow Demon.

I alone am royalty.

Werner: Me too.

Oh, and you too.
