Chapter 90

"Then what is this?" Gu Chensha took out the stone that suppressed the treasure vault's array eye and asked again.

"This is an unknown egg, already fossilized, but it contains a vast amount of life force. It should be the egg of some ancient divine beast." Yiming, who didn't recognize it either, said, "But this item can indeed suppress the array eye, and its effect is even better than the Luli Jade Skeleton that the master obtained last time."

Gu Chensha counted the gains from this theft. Besides the Dragon Transformation Liquid and the Dragon Transformation Tower, there were 480 Seven Saints Heart Cultivation Pills, 3,000 Purple Blood Revival Pills, and a full 30,000 Clear Spirit Pills.

"If converted into money?" He thought for a moment but still shook his head. "These things can't be sold, and no one has that much money."

For example, a Seven Saints Heart Cultivation Pill would be hard to buy for tens of millions.

With the accumulation of these pills, he probably already surpassed some thousand-year-old noble families.

Whoosh!

A blue bird flew down from the sky and dropped a letter.

"Is this a Blue-Winged Sea Eagle?" Gu Chensha recognized it as the bird raised by Long Yuyun. He opened the letter, which contained a map marking the meeting place.

"Long Yuyun actually wants me to go to a barbarian tribe?" The meeting place marked on the map was a tribe on the way back.

Immediately, Gu Chensha led his team back. After marching for four or five days, they saw a plain, a lake, and a grassland, covering about a thousand miles, suitable for living.

Generally, such an environment is where barbarian tribes live.

"Prepare for battle."

The order was given, and everyone held their guns, ready to draw their knives at any time.

At this moment, several people flew over from a distance. Gu Chensha, with his keen eyesight, recognized Long Yuyun and Yu Hanlu. He immediately ordered the fire symbol guns to be put down and stepped forward, saying, "Why are you two here? We agreed to meet near the temple."

He was somewhat angry. According to the plan, everyone would gather outside the temple, and he would enter to lure out the experts. Then, they would work together to kill them, and this would be repeated to assassinate the temple's people. It would also reveal Long Yuyun and Yu Hanlu's true capabilities. However, the two women didn't go, disrupting his plan.

"Your Highness, the area near the Ape Demon Temple is too dangerous. After careful consideration, we decided to take a long-term approach," Yu Hanlu said, looking embarrassed.

"It is dangerous, but I have a specific plan. Your actions have made me march in the forest for nearly a month, wasting a lot of time," Gu Chensha frowned.

"The Ape Demon Temple has experts as numerous as stars. Without investigating, you rashly go there. With this number of people, a single bishop can wipe you out. If you want to die, don't drag us along," a middle-aged man behind Yu Hanlu said.

This middle-aged man had skin like jade, piercing eyes, and a presence that seemed otherworldly, as if he were not in the same space as others.

"Who are you?" Gu Chensha's eyes were sharp.

"Junior, are you still不服气 (unconvinced)?" The middle-aged man laughed and stepped forward. "Perhaps you haven't seen true experts and think the world is in your control. Do you think you are your father, Tianfu?"

"Uncle Ba, don't be rude to His Highness," Yu Hanlu hurriedly said.

"Seventh niece, I heard this person wants to recruit us into the Bao Yu Kingdom. But now, he seems arrogant and acts without planning. He wants to hit a stone with an egg. Since he's like this, I'll give him a lesson to show him what it means to be overconfident." This middle-aged man, called Uncle Ba, suddenly extended his hand, breaking the air and grabbing toward Gu Chensha. The speed was incomparable, leaving no room for reaction.

But just as he grabbed, a burst of light appeared around Gu Chensha.

The Demon-Slaying Blade in hand, the Great Dragon Armor enveloped his body.

Sun and Moon Kill!

The sun tours the sky, the moon balances yin and yang, light dispels darkness, and divine power destroys all evil.

At this moment, with his cultivation and the Great Dragon Armor, Gu Chensha's Sun and Moon Kill suddenly erupted, making all ghosts and demons retreat.

"Bad!"

This Uncle Ba felt endless killing intent, and the light from the Demon-Slaying Blade was blinding. It had already made contact with him. Pfft! Several of his fingers were cut off.

He was almost terrified, quickly retreating and spitting out a mouthful of air.

Boom!

A mass of innate qi was spat out, trying to block Gu Chensha. This person was actually a Dao Realm 6th transformation, having refined qi into innate qi.

But when this innate qi met the Sun and Moon Kill, it exploded and was torn apart. The remaining force hit the Great Dragon Armor, unable to penetrate the defense.

Both the Demon-Slaying Blade and the Great Dragon Armor had been upgraded with Heavenly Dew and Dragon Transformation Liquid, capable of cutting through the bodies of experts below the Luli Jade level.

"A few fingers as a warning." Gu Chensha did not pursue, "Next time, don't move in front of me."

Yu Hanlu and Long Yuyun were extremely shocked, and the experts behind them were speechless, never expecting that Yu Ba, a prince of the Bao Yu Kingdom, would be defeated in one move.

"How can his armor be so powerful!" Even Sanxiang found it hard to fathom Gu Chensha.

"Junior, you actually rely on weapons and armor to injure me." As he retreated, Yu Ba pointed a finger, and another burst of innate qi fiercely attacked.

But a shadow appeared behind Gu Chensha, reaching out and dispersing the innate qi. Then, he moved close to Yu Ba and released a palm force.

Boom!

Yu Ba was thrown into the air and fell to the ground, spitting blood and fainting.

It was Yiming who acted.

Originally, he didn't want to reveal Yiming, but it seemed the Bao Yu Kingdom people didn't take him seriously. If he didn't show his strength, future cooperation would be difficult, let alone recruitment.

"Dao Realm 7th transformation!" The Bao Yu Kingdom experts, who were about to act, all retreated.

Yiming then retreated behind Gu Chensha: "Master, I have sealed several acupoints of this person with innate qi. If you don't like him, I can make the innate qi explode inside him."

"No need. Although this person has the suspicion of assassinating me, he is not a barbarian of extreme cruelty. A lesson is enough. Give Miss Hanlu some face," Gu Chensha waved his hand.

Yiming signaled, and several masses of innate qi flew out of Yu Ba's body, and he slowly woke up.

"Never thought His Highness would have such a powerful subordinate." Yu Hanlu and Long Yuyun calmed down, instructing the experts behind them not to act rashly. They re-evaluated Gu Chensha: "Your Highness, we didn't follow the agreement this time, but we have a great gift for you."

"What gift?" Gu Chensha's expression softened, but he wasn't truly angry. "Ladies, there's no need to panic. We are still friends. Don't worry about this small matter."

"We have conquered this barbarian tribe in your name." Long Yuyun quickly said, "This tribe has over a hundred thousand people. After conquering it, we started fortifying and reduced all the barbarians to slaves. In the future, we will assist you in governing and expanding the territory."

"Oh?" Gu Chensha looked into the distance and indeed saw many barbarian slaves being supervised by soldiers, carrying stones, cutting wood, and building fortifications. He was secretly pleased. The action against the Ape Demon Temple had failed, and he still needed to follow the path of territorial expansion. Now, Long Yuyun and Yu Hanlu had offered this great gift, so he naturally accepted it.

Conquering this barbarian tribe and expanding would also be a way to report to the court.

"Let's not talk here. Let's go to the castle." Gu Chensha waved his hand.

Immediately, everyone headed to the barbarian castle.

At the highest point of the castle, Gu Chensha spoke alone with Long Yuyun and Yu Hanlu, while the others stepped back.

"Miss Hanlu, I have been very lenient with you, but you acted improperly. Was Yu Ba's provocation today to test my strength?" Gu Chensha spoke frankly, "We cooperate openly. You first broke the agreement and then used some tricks. What was your intention?"

"This was my fault, but it wasn't my order. Yu Ba is my uncle and the younger brother of the emperor. He is a powerful figure in the court. This time, he insisted on going ahead and even attacked you directly. His cultivation is extremely high, and I couldn't stop him," Yu Hanlu quickly explained.

"I hope such things don't happen again." Gu Chensha waved his hand. "I won't hold it against you for not going to the Ape Demon Temple as agreed, but you must fully assist me in the future without any second thoughts."

"Of course. I have already sent the list of barbarian slaves to your five subordinates to take over. I have also assigned people to lead them and given you loyalists," Yu Hanlu said. "As for Yu Ba, he shouldn't provoke you again."

"Very good." Gu Chensha said to Long Yuyun, "Go and bring Xiao Yizi from the capital mansion. The capital mansion has nothing left to manage. This place will be my fief, and I need reliable people to govern and expand step by step."

"I'll find someone to do it immediately." Long Yuyun nodded. "In addition, I will spend a large sum to hire the Lu family to come here. They are all experts in construction. The barbarian city is very crude, and it is not suitable as your fief."

"Agreed." Gu Chensha looked outside the castle, which was indeed very crude, made of wood and stone, and exuded a primitive atmosphere. As a stable fief, it was far from enough.

If it were a place like Chengtian Pass, it would be extremely solid, and even innate qi might not break it. On the pass, there were cannons, giant crossbows, and fire guns. Even experts would suffer losses, let alone a barbarian army.

Moreover, after expansion, adventurers and martial artists from within the pass would continuously come, making the power grow like a snowball.

"In terms of internal affairs, you two have more experience than me and can be entrusted with the task," Gu Chensha nodded.

"Since that's the case, we'll go and make arrangements." Yu Hanlu stood up and left with Long Yuyun.

After a while, Liu Yu and the other four entered to report.

"Take these pills." Gu Chensha took out five Seven Saints Heart Cultivation Pills.

The five didn't know what the pills were but didn't hesitate, swallowing them all. Immediately, their faces showed a deep, thoughtful, and wise expression.

Buzz...

Their divine swords rang out, and then a green aura poured into their heads, and all five simultaneously entered the Dao Realm.
