Chapter 300 On the Eve of the Operation
As soon as he stepped outside, Yunming clasped his hands in greeting to Gu Yun and Yun Qingzi.
"Yunhai, Qingzi, I'm going to collect the essence of life first. Although it might just be for show, and I can retrieve it through the Book of No Words later, it won't be easy to gather two hundred drops of the essence of life. Three days, what do you think?"
"We will meet here again in three days."
Yun Qingzi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and agreed that although three days was a bit rushed, it was not impossible. Every extra day would be unstable, so she nodded.
"I have no objection, but what about you, Konghai-ge? You've taken on the heavy responsibility of 400 drops. Is three days enough?"
Gu Yun chuckled, clearly without any pressure, and spoke in a tone that made people believe him without being able to resist.
"Don't worry, don't you all know me?"
"Although it is difficult, it is not impossible to produce it in a short time."
Gu Yun's words were ambiguous. As long as the other party doesn't doubt his identity, they will naturally fill in the blanks in their minds.
As for three days later?
He's an outsider; even if you put the essence of life and mineral water together, he might not be able to tell the difference. Where are you going to get those four hundred drops of essence of life?
But.
Three days later, if I combine the life essence in your hands, I'll have four hundred drops, right?
Gu Yun chuckled to himself.
Werner looked at the two elves whose lives were about to end with pity, and sighed inwardly: You're the one who calculated things so well.
Following Gu Yun's words, Yun Ming and Yun Qingzi seemed to have thought of something and nodded naturally. Then Yun Ming hurriedly left, probably to borrow life essence from his relatives.
Clearly, Yunming was the most anxious of the three. He seemed to have some urgent need to use the Book of No Words, and he didn't chat much with Gu Yunyun and Qingzi. As for what it was, Gu Yunyun had no interest in it and wouldn't ask.
Yun Qingzi did the same, and did not inquire about Yun Ming's plans.
If they didn't each have their own agendas, would they still be willing to risk betraying their own kind to conspire for the wordless book?
Seeing that Yun Ming's figure had disappeared, Yun Qingzi obviously did not linger. After bidding farewell to Gu Yun, she flew into the void.
Only Gu Yun remained standing there silently.
After a long while, when Gu Yun was certain that Yun Ming and Yun Qingzi had no aura left and there was no one around to see them, he finally succeeded.
He slowly turned his head to look at the tightly closed wooden house, which had also disappeared.
Without the creaking of a door opening, without the interference of any formations, Gu Yun reappeared before Xiang Ling as a gentle breeze rustled across the wooden planks on the ground, his black robes slowly falling with the wind.
In front of Gu Yun was Xiang Ling, who had just been about to sit down and rest for a while.
Upon seeing Gu Yun's bizarre appearance, he widened his eyes, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.
After looking at Gu Yun for a while, he then looked at the unresponsive spirit-sealing array, sighed, and knew that he would have to work again soon. His face unconsciously showed a trace of fatigue, but when he thought that he was going to oppose the Elf Royal Family, this trace of fatigue instantly turned into a trace of excitement.
Despite her fluctuating emotions, her surprise remained constant. In the end, Xiangling couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked softly.
"How did you manage to do that?"
"Although I am not a genius who is proficient in formations, I have seen the formation elders of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect set up formations. The formation that Yun Ming just set up is enough to show that it is not simple."
"Moreover, the senior seems to be inside the formation but not bound by it."
Gu Yun's light blue eyes, which were originally cloaked in the shell of Yun Konghai, instantly turned blood red. He glared at Xiang Ling, which made Xiang Ling suddenly feel a chill coming from all directions.
"There's no one here."
"Getting more talkative?"
Gu Yun's cold voice came from his throat, carrying a hint of iciness.
Xiangling immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum and hurriedly waved her hands, saying...
"no no."
"This junior is too narrow-minded. There are always people more capable than you, and there is always a higher level to reach. I imagine that you are also a top expert in the art of formations. The formation set up by Yunming cannot stop you."
Gu Yun did not refute.
"kindness."
With a gentle lift of his hand towards Xiangling, not only her sleeves fluttered, but also the wriggling shadow on the ground slowly approached her.
Having never seen anything like this before, Xiangling couldn't help but drag her chair back two steps, her face showing a hint of fear as she spoke.
"Senior, what's wrong...?"
Suddenly, she realized that if Gu Yunruo really wanted to kill her, she probably would have done so already. There was no need for her to go to the Elf Royal Family, a place rife with trouble, to eliminate her. Moreover, she hadn't even obtained the Nameless Heavenly Book yet, and Xiangling didn't believe anyone could resist such temptation.
So there was no further development; she simply waited quietly for Gu Yun's explanation. If Gu Yun didn't explain, she wouldn't be surprised and could only let Gu Yun do as he pleased.
As the shadow spread upwards from Xiangling's toes, Gu Yun spoke.
"Don't resist it, it will take you out."
"Don't worry, I won't let you die, even though everything is still uncertain."
Xiangling's heart skipped a beat; Gu Yun's words made it impossible not to think the worst.
Does that mean that once there's a result, you're not far from death?
As the sound faded, Xiangling's vision was enveloped in shadow, and darkness instantly swallowed everything.
When Xiangling's eyes regained their light, she was already in a secluded, unknown corner.
Everything around me was completely unfamiliar.
The only familiar thing was the man standing before me, who had never changed.
But judging from that branch of wood that shot straight up into the sky, he was still on the Azure Star.
At this moment, Xiangling was no longer surprised and stopped questioning or asking questions about Gu Yun's abilities. Instead, she expressed her concerns to Gu Yun.
"Senior, I'm leaving. What if they return from that wooden house...?"
Gu Yun frowned slightly, but ultimately chose to explain.
"Someone will be there to take your place in the next couple of days."
And this person is Werner, of course.
First, Werner used his powers to bring Xiangling out, and then he broke away from Xiangling and assimilated into Xiangling's appearance, staying in the wooden house.
Before making this decision, Gu Yun had consulted Werner, because once Werner was separated from him, he was like a laptop without power. Although he possessed almost all of Gu Yun's abilities, his battery life was limited. Even if he just stayed still, he would still consume power every moment.
Two days—that's the red line Werner drew for Gu Yun.
According to him, it was about 70% to 80% of the battery capacity.
If Gu Yun hasn't appeared by then, he will come looking for him.
Otherwise, once Werner's power runs out, no one knows what will happen, because they both understand that when that happens, simply plugging it in won't restore it.
