Chapter 609 - 608: The Astonished Young Master Yu!
Chapter 609 - 608: The Astonished Young Master Yu!
Ancestor Jinsha truly regarded Gu Yuan as a fellow Daoist, even as a "senior."As for the spoils from just killing Elder Chaotic Heaven... Ancestor Jinsha wisely chose not to mention.
After all, Elder Chaotic Heaven was killed by Gu Yuan, and he did not contribute much in the battle.
Thus, those spoils rightfully belonged to Gu Yuan. Naturally, Ancestor Jinsha had no objections about this.
"Nonsense, it was thanks to Fellow Daoist Jinsha for trapping him in the array. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill him so easily."
Gu Yuan was naturally quite modest about this.
However, seeing that the other party’s attitude had changed towards him, Gu Yuan was also willing to drop the "senior" title and simply addressed him as a fellow Daoist.
The term "fellow Daoist" is not simple; generally, only cultivators of the same realm can address each other this way.
Yet, given Gu Yuan’s current achievements and strength, addressing him as a fellow Daoist wouldn’t cause Ancestor Jinsha any loss.
"Oh, right..."
Seemingly recalling something, Gu Yuan took out the items left by Elder Chaotic Heaven, dividing them into two parts, throwing one half to Ancestor Jinsha, and said:
"This is the share you deserve, please do not refuse."
The other party understood the rules, so Gu Yuan was not stingy, especially since Ancestor Jinsha had indeed contributed.
"This... well, in that case, thank you, fellow Daoist. I will humbly accept it then."
Ancestor Jinsha was both surprised and delighted, and after thinking for a moment, he accepted them, thanking Gu Yuan profusely.
These items were indeed quite important to him.
He had originally been tormented by Elder Chaotic Heaven for a long time, who sealed his cultivation and Yang Spirit with vicious Demon Dao restrictions, constantly depleting his primordial qi.
Although he had recently found several rare spirit medicines and spirit pills, and more than half of his injuries had healed, the lost innate primordial qi was ultimately not fully restored, forming Dao injuries that were hard to recover from.
But with these items left by Elder Chaotic Heaven, by extracting the innate primordial qi, he could naturally replenish his essence, and possibly even advance further.
Hence, Ancestor Jinsha was quite grateful for this.
The two chatted briefly, then approached Monk Ku Zhu together.
Gu Yuan and the others hadn’t forgotten that the trouble with Young Master Yu was yet unresolved.
"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoists, I will now release Master Yu."
Monk Ku Zhu was no fool, even though he was exchanging magical battles with Young Master Yu earlier, he had been carefully observing the situation on Gu Yuan’s side.
Seeing Granny Mei Hua’s death had already been quite shocking, and later seeing Ancestor Jinsha and Gu Yuan, along with Elder Chaotic Heaven, fighting fiercely within the grand array was equally shocking.
Now, seeing only Gu Yuan and Ancestor Jinsha emerge, even a fool would understand that Elder Chaotic Heaven had been killed by them.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to continue battling with Young Master Yu.
After all, with people dead, what was the point of fighting?
Despite thinking this, when Monk Ku Zhu looked at Gu Yuan, there was a hint of surprise and solemnity in his eyes. It wasn’t that his mental fortitude was lacking, but Gu Yuan’s performance today was beyond his expectations.
Gu Yuan was merely a Golden Core Great Cultivator, yet possessed such formidable strength and divine techniques, it was truly astonishing.
Monk Ku Zhu prided himself on being knowledgeable, yet he had never witnessed someone like Gu Yuan.
As he spoke, Monk Ku Zhu had already put away his prayer bead magical treasure and released Young Master Yu.
"Old monk, your Mara Realm Great Divine Technique is indeed impressive, but it’s a pity it hasn’t reached Great Success, as trapping me is hardly feasible."
Young Master Yu was indeed extraordinary; upon release, he was unscathed, showing no signs of distress.
After emerging, he remained spirited and showed no signs of defeat.
However, upon seeing the situation around him, Young Master Yu was stunned.
His uncle, Elder Chaotic Heaven, where was he?
Someone so prominent, how could he be missing?
Moreover, why were that young man and Ancestor Jinsha looking at him?
With doubts brewing in his heart and a sense of unease growing, Young Master Yu simply asked directly, "Where is my senior uncle?"
Monk Ku Zhu lowered his gaze, hands clasped, not speaking a word.
As for Ancestor Jinsha, he too remained silent, looking towards Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan, taking initiative, smiled and said: "Elder Chaotic Heaven is, of course, dead, killed by me."
"I just wonder, what is Brother Yu’s current plan?"
"Do you intend to seek revenge on me for Elder Chaotic Heaven..."
Gu Yuan paused, then continued: "Or do you plan to let it go?"
Speaking, Gu Yuan smiled at Young Master Yu, observing his reaction.
Young Master Yu was, after all, a disciple of Ancestor Tiecheng; avoiding conflict was best to avoid offending Ancestor Tiecheng.
As for Elder Chaotic Heaven...
Everyone wasn’t foolish; by now, they could see clearly that Ancestor Tiecheng didn’t pay much mind to his junior brother Elder Chaotic Heaven.
Even when Elder Chaotic Heaven had been seriously injured earlier, Ancestor Tiecheng hadn’t appeared, much less offered help.
Today, although Young Master Yu appeared, it was clearly not under Ancestor Tiecheng’s instruction, it was only Young Master Yu himself coming.
Besides, Gu Yuan had a vendetta against Elder Chaotic Heaven; he had to act to eliminate him from every angle.
But Young Master Yu was different.
Young Master Yu was the direct disciple of Ancestor Tiecheng, certainly held in high regard and favor.
Moreover, Gu Yuan had no grievance against him.
If killed here, it would obviously be inappropriate.
Gu Yuan himself did not wish to do such a thing, nor did he wish to offend mighty figures like Ancestor Tiecheng!
If killing Elder Chaotic Heaven, Ancestor Tiecheng might largely not care or think twice.
But if Young Master Yu died at Gu Yuan’s hands, it would undoubtedly alarm Ancestor Tiecheng, who would then personally deal with Gu Yuan!
At present, Gu Yuan could contend with Yang Spirit might using his profound foundations and several Great Divine Techniques.
But facing a Primordial Spirit True Immortal, he had no chance of outmatching them.
He might not even have a chance to escape.
Thus, Gu Yuan decided to observe Young Master Yu’s reaction.
If the other didn’t pursue the matter, he could naturally let him leave.
If this fellow intended to persistently trouble him, though wary of his master, Gu Yuan wouldn’t be afraid, sure to act decisively, eliminate Young Master Yu to prevent future trouble.
"Is my uncle killed by you?!"
Young Master Yu was astonished, then started appraising Gu Yuan. Indeed, he hadn’t mistaken, Gu Yuan wasn’t a Yang Spirit mighty being or a Primordial Spirit True Immortal.
He was merely a Golden Core Great Cultivator.
