Chapter 92

This question is asked formally.

Long Yuyun sensed the seriousness in the words, her expression turning solemn. After a long moment of thought, she said, "If it were just me, it wouldn't matter, but my subordinates and family, so many people, if we fail to join, we will fall into the tiger's mouth and have no place to be buried. The entire Dragon Sword Island's lineage will be cut off. Back then, I also planned to join the Crown Prince, but was deceived, causing us great losses, and now our country is destroyed and our family is in ruins. If you can save my brother, sister, and parents from the Crown Prince, I will swear to the Sea God from this day forward, and completely swear allegiance to you. The entire Dragon Sword Island will submit without any hesitation."

"Is that so." Gu Chensha was secretly pleased: "The leader betrayed and killed to refine blood, already falling into evil. If you want to take revenge and kill him, I won't stop you, but he is still my brother, and I won't kill him. As for rescuing your brother, sister, and parents, this is my responsibility, rest assured. As long as they are still alive, I have the confidence to rescue them."

"Do you really have that much confidence?" Long Yuyun was half-believing, half-doubting.

Gu Chensha was certainly confident. He could steal countless treasures from the Chaos World Ape Temple, so rescuing a few people from the leader Gu Hengsha was nothing.

At that time, he would just knock out the rescued people, put them into the Sun and Moon Altar, and wake them up when they come out, without revealing any secrets.

The leader Gu Hengsha's residence, no matter how strong, could not compare to the Chaos World Ape Temple.

Moreover, the Giant Spirit God Ring left by his mother was still in the Crown Prince's hands, and if there was an opportunity, he would also take it back.

"After this matter is settled, I will go to save your relatives," Gu Chensha said. "It will take at least a few months, at most half a year, but I guarantee they will appear before you safe and sound."

"This matter is extremely difficult, the Crown Prince's residence is full of experts, and there is no way to rescue them. Unless you ask the Emperor for permission, but the Emperor probably won't care about this," Long Yuyun still didn't believe.

"The Emperor certainly won't care about this. Besides, without any evidence, I can't attack in the court, or it will be seen as malicious slander, which would only cause trouble," Gu Chensha already understood the court struggles. This matter could only be handled secretly, not openly.

"What do you have in mind?" Long Yuyun asked, somewhat uneasy, as this was her biggest concern.

"Look at this." Gu Chensha took out a golden bottle, opened it, and inside was the Seven Saints Heart Refining Pill immersed in spirit liquid.

"This is..." Looking at the pill with its seven-colored glow, Long Yuyun thought for a long time: "This is the ancient Seven Saints Heart Refining Pill! Where did you get it?"

"Do you think I led my troops to the Chaos World Ape Temple without a plan or confidence?" Gu Chensha deliberately said, knowing that to give Long Yuyun hope, she would lean towards him: "This Seven Saints Heart Refining Pill I stole from the Chaos World Ape Temple. Do you think the Chaos World Ape Temple is more dangerous or the leader's residence?"

"What?" Long Yuyun's eyes widened: "No wonder I heard a few days ago that the Chaos World Ape Temple was stolen, and it was you who did it."

"This is a top secret, and must not be leaked," Gu Chensha quickly said: "Otherwise, there will be endless trouble."

"I understand," Long Yuyun suddenly became spirited, "I didn't misjudge you. Although the Crown Prince has many experts, compared to the Chaos World Ape Temple, they are nothing. You can steal treasures from there, so rescuing my relatives will be easy. Do you have any more of these Seven Saints Heart Refining Pills?"

"This pill I can give to you," Gu Chensha handed it over.

"Really?" Long Yuyun couldn't believe it and didn't take it: "Do you know how valuable this pill is? Even a Ninth Transformation Daoist or a Crystal Jade Body expert would fight to the death for it. Taking this pill is like directly listening to the teachings of the seven ancient sages."

"In my eyes, people are priceless," Gu Chensha changed the subject: "If no one takes it and converts it into combat power, transforming the world and maintaining the great path, this pill is no different from a stone. A thousand-mile horse needs someone to recognize it."

"You are a remarkable person, and will surely shine in the future," Long Yuyun began to acknowledge certain things: "I will take it. Rest assured, I will do my best with the big and small matters in your fief. Currently, Hanlu is wavering, placing bets everywhere, but there's nothing she can do. The interests of Bao Yu Kingdom are complex."

"I understand all of this," Gu Chensha knew that there was a江湖 (jianghu, a term for the world of martial arts and politics) everywhere, and there were party struggles in the court, and Bao Yu Kingdom might be even more intense: "But sometimes, only with firm belief can one overcome difficulties. If one wavers, nothing will be achieved."

"I will talk to Hanlu in detail. After all, it seems that you are the one to rely on," Long Yuyun also expressed her stance.

"That's good. Let's go. Your Dragon Bone Sword should have the ability to fly, right?" Gu Chensha asked.

"It does, but the Dragon Bone Sword can only fly for a short time, at most a hundred miles. Once the spirit energy inside is exhausted, it will go into hibernation, and can only be revived by soaking it in spirit liquid or placing it in a spirit-gathering array. The Dragon Bone Sword is for killing enemies, I can't use it extravagantly for flying," Long Yuyun shook her head: "Do you know how expensive spirit liquid is? One drop can sell for thousands, even tens of thousands of yuan."

Although the Dragon Bone Sword can transform into a bone dragon, the spirit energy inside can only sustain a short attack, and the sword cannot absorb spirit energy on its own. It must be placed in a spirit-gathering array daily or have spirit liquid dripped into it.

Generally, after the Dragon Bone Sword is used, the spirit energy is exhausted, and it needs to be placed in a spirit-gathering array for forty-nine days to be fully restored, depending on the strength of the array. A powerful spirit-gathering array would take less time.

Dripping spirit liquid would allow immediate use.

From this perspective, Liu Yu's five swords were true divine weapons, capable of absorbing and releasing spirit energy on their own, almost transcending the realm of treasures.

Even the current Great Dragon Armor cannot absorb and release spirit energy on its own.

In fact, almost all immortal treasures are like this. The Horned Dragon Armor, however, can be activated by absorbing sunlight, but it has a drawback: it will slowly deteriorate, unlike immortal treasures which not only do not deteriorate but also advance when absorbing spirit energy.

Gu Chensha's first task was to build a large spirit-gathering array in his fief, so the Horned Dragon Armor would not deteriorate.

"You took my Heavenly Dragon Spirit-Gathering Flag, and have accumulated a lot of spirit liquid these days. Why are you still complaining about poverty?" Gu Chensha pointed out Long Yuyun's trick: "It's time to return the Heavenly Dragon Spirit-Gathering Flag to me."

"Of course, my family is large, and no amount of money is enough. I will convert the spirit liquid into money and use it all for the construction of your fief," Long Yuyun was very obedient, afraid that Gu Chensha would change his mind and not save her relatives: "Actually, the Seven Saints Heart Refining Pill you gave me, if taken out, would be enough to build the city for the Lu family."

"I won't invite the Lu family," Gu Chensha said: "Although the Lu family has been great craftsmen for generations, they are still inferior to the Heavenly Craft Academy. I plan to find the powerful figures in the Heavenly Craft Academy and hire them to build my fief."

"That's a good idea. If you are willing to give up a Seven Saints Heart Refining Pill, the powerful figures in the Heavenly Craft Academy will probably come immediately," Long Yuyun nodded repeatedly.

"Since that's the case, let's go." Gu Chensha grabbed Long Yuyun, and the Great Dragon Armor on his body creaked, extending and wriggling, enveloping Long Yuyun, then becoming invisible and flying into the sky.

"How many days of dew did you use to advance your armor to this level?" Long Yuyun, completely enveloped in the armor, breathed smoothly, looking down at the floating clouds and the gradually receding mountains and rivers, couldn't help but be shocked: "Even if my Dragon Bone Sword flies at full speed, it doesn't have this speed and height. Also, this kind of flight consumes a lot of spirit energy. Is there enough spirit energy in the armor?"

Gu Chensha was also trying to fully activate the Great Dragon Armor for the first time, and found that the speed was faster than a hawk. This speed was even beyond the reach of a Seventh Transformation Daoist, making escape easy. He also noticed that after consuming a large amount of Dragon Transformation Liquid, the Great Dragon Armor had undergone changes he couldn't understand.

However, he felt that the spirit energy in the armor was rapidly depleting, and after a few hundred breaths, it would start to fall, and might even lose its protective ability, turning him into a meat patty.

Without spirit energy support, the Great Dragon Armor would lose all its functions, becoming a dead object, no different from a stone.

He also noticed that the maximum speed of the Great Dragon Armor was three to four times that of a hawk. To go faster, it would need to evolve again.

He flipped his palm, and a spirit crystal appeared, the size of a soybean, extremely heavy.

After taking out the spirit crystal, the Great Dragon Armor wriggled, enveloping the crystal as if eating it, slowly digesting it.

Buzz...

After swallowing the crystal, the Great Dragon Armor instantly received a massive amount of spirit energy, as if it had taken a powerful drug.

This spirit crystal, the size of a soybean, when melted, could produce a large vat of spirit liquid. How much spirit energy would that be? The Great Dragon Armor, slowly digesting it, would be enough to maintain for a long time.

"Spirit crystal," Long Yuyun was shocked again: "What good things do you have on you? You even have a spirit crystal. It seems you really obtained a lot of good things from the Chaos World Ape Temple. Can you reveal a bit?"

"You will know in the future," Gu Chensha remained mysterious. With this spirit crystal, the Great Dragon Armor could fly for ten days and nights without any problem, and he had a gourd of spirit crystals, containing fifteen in total.

After less than an hour of flight, they saw the majestic Great Stone Wall in the distance.

Indeed, outside the Great Wall, construction was everywhere. Fortresses were rising, and neat roads spread like a spider web into the wilderness. Large amounts of wood were being cut down to form estates, and people were flowing like ants. Numerous noble families, even wealthy merchants and trade groups, were coming to the border to claim land.

The land outside the border was worthless, but now it was more expensive than inside the border.

Everyone saw the business opportunity. If they had land outside the border, they could build estates or markets, and be the first to receive various furs, meats, medicinal herbs, and treasures from the wilderness.

"I didn't expect that in just a month, my father has truly mobilized the people's strength, opening up the situation in the wilderness. The princes are fighting at the front, holding back the barbarian armies, while the rear is being built up, attracting countless experts to come as reinforcements, and luring them with benefits. Unlike some emperors in history who mobilized the entire country's strength to fight the barbarians, exhausting the country's resources, and although they drove the barbarians further away, their own empires also declined. This strategy of fighting the barbarians will not only not consume the country's strength, but will also enhance prosperity." Gu Chensha almost saw the Great Yong Empire's fortune like a raging fire, like gold, like a divine kingdom on earth.

"All of this is due to the Heavenly Symbol Emperor. If he suddenly disappears one day, what will happen to this country? Will it return to the previous state of division and chaos?" Suddenly, a terrifying thought arose in his mind.
