The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 212 Six Star Lords: Where are my teammates?? (Three-in-one)

Gu Fangchen's physical constitution was reshaped by the "Lotus in the Womb," giving her extraordinary self-healing abilities.

Having just had its regeneration speed suppressed by that aura of annihilation, now that the suppression was gone, it immediately activated its qi and blood, first getting its two arms to be covered in flesh, before it was able to barely support Yi'er and cushion its landing on the "Wolf God".

However, because the "Heart Poison" is still spreading, he cannot freely mobilize his Qi and blood to recover, especially his heart blood, which is only slightly faster than that of a typical fourth-grade cultivator.

However, the fact that one's own vital energy and blood cannot be used does not mean that one cannot rely on external forces.

With a thought, Gu Fangchen took out several pills from the cave ring that she had already transferred to her pocket and swallowed them whole.

One of the flesh-colored pills, named the Life-Creating Pill, was of third-grade quality and was a family heirloom of a certain sect, used to prolong the life of its ancestor. Gu Fangchen squandered it.

But the victor is king and the loser is villain; after all, the Seven Sects were simply outmatched in skill.

This group of people were able to occupy such a feng shui treasure land with dragon veins in the southwest to cultivate, all thanks to Ning Songjun's merciful thought. In the end, their greed was insatiable, and they were all swallowed up.

Gu Fangchen took all her precious belongings.

If the sect's patriarch were to see Gu Fangchen wasting such a precious resource, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot...

As the medicine took effect, Gu Fangchen, who was originally inhuman, gradually returned to her original appearance.

Although he was still covered in blood, at least his handsome and flawless face could be seen.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Yi'er had already stopped struggling in surprise and doubt. But when she saw that familiar face, her anxiety instantly turned into joy.

"Young Master Gu!"

Although Gu Fangchen openly flirted with Yi'er as the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, in their later conversations, out of a sense of closeness, Yi'er still addressed him as "Young Master".

"Ah."

Gu Fangchen lowered her head, reached out and removed the black mask from Yi'er's face. Looking at the gentle and beautiful face, she gave a tender smile to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I'll tell you what happened on the way."

With familiar faces around, Yi'er wasn't too panicked. However, when she realized she was being held in Gu Fangchen's arms, a blush crept onto her face as she timidly turned to look at the completely unfamiliar surroundings.

Because the destiny chart set up by the "Six Star Lords" blocked the ability to teleport.

Unable to utilize spatial power, the "Wolf God" could only flap its wings with all its might to fly, but as a third-grade spirit beast, its speed was naturally not slow.

"Wow--"

A strong wind swept over the two of them, and the scenery above them turned into afterimages, quickly forgotten.

Gu Fangchen only then realized that her forehead and back were covered in cold sweat, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lü Fuyi stopped him earlier, he knew that this time even the "Sea of ​​Calamity" could not save him.

Since the destiny chart of the "Six Star Lords" can temporarily seal off space, it can naturally also interfere with the cause and effect within it. It is entirely possible to temporarily sever the cause and effect connection between him and the "Calamity Sea Karma Wheel".

Lu Fuyi knew the "Chain of Karmic Calamity" was on him, yet she still stopped him, which meant that regardless of the "Chain of Karmic Calamity," Gu Fangchen was doomed...

But clearly, she hadn't expected that Gu Fangchen could make the dead seem alive and the black seem white.

She deliberately added a sentimental persona to herself, referring to the Lord of the Robbery as Yi'er.

Gu Fangchen's physical body quickly recovered. She adjusted her posture, held Yi'er protectively in her arms, coughed twice, and said seriously:
"Yi'er, do you believe me?"

Yi'er blinked, nodded, and said:
"Of course Yi'er trusts Young Master, that's why I've been waiting for you... By the way, Yi'er later discovered that many things were missing from her person and from the wine shop. Did Young Master take them?"

She said very seriously:
"After all, the young master said that, apart from the wine shop, everything Yi'er had saved up over the years should be brought into the palace as part of her dowry; otherwise, the princess would not approve."

The girl lowered her head again, seemingly feeling sad and wronged, biting her lip and twisting the hem of her red dress with her fingers.

"Yi'er was willing, but later... the young master never came, nor did he give any news."

Gu Fangchen: "..."

Come to think of it, he seems like a scumbag who deceived a young girl, pretended to run away, and disappeared without a trace.

Well... based on facts alone, it seems that's true.

No wonder Lord Jie was chasing after him relentlessly; what he did was truly inhuman.

But in order to steal the "Drunken Spring Breeze," he had to flirt and ramble for so long that he almost ran out of things to say, so it was inevitable that he would say some things without thinking.

Gu Fangchen took a deep breath and said:

"It's not that I didn't want to come, it's just that I encountered a lot of things that delayed me."

"I will now explain it to you in detail..."

He began his story by returning to Huangtian City, recounting the grudges and entanglements between himself and Gu Yuye, and how he was framed and became a murderer who killed the emperor and betrayed the country, and was now on his way to flee to Qingman.

"Look."

Gu Fangchen flipped her hand and took out the national treasure jade seal:
"This is where the nation's destiny lies."

Yi'er glanced at it curiously, then looked down and saw the head of Emperor Yong'an hanging on the "Wolf God" by Gu Fangchen. She quickly looked away.

The jade seal and the human head are enough to prove that what Gu Fangchen said was true.

Gu Fangchen then said:
“I am in a dangerous situation now. It is common knowledge that you have a deep connection with me in the past... That is why I have no choice but to take you with me to Qingman.”

"As for the injuries on my body, they were from when I was being chased. The opponent was far stronger than me, and I was almost defeated. Fortunately, I was still more skilled in the end."

This isn't entirely nonsense.

Since he made it onto the Little Heaven Ranking, his romantic history has been thoroughly exposed.

However, aside from the original owner's romantic escapades, all he had to gossip about was Princess Prajna inviting him as a guest, giving him the maid Xiyin as a servant, and the series of gifts from the Imperial Preceptor.

But given the public's penchant for good deeds, the portion that has circulated is enough to fill several mini-books about Liu Bei...

However, since this involves such high-ranking individuals, getting caught doing this really means certain death, so basically no one dares to act recklessly.

What remained was to flirt with the young lady at the tavern in Jiange.

It's easy to imagine that being listed alongside the previous figures in the gossip section naturally drew even more attention to this legendary winemaker's descendant.

However, Qu Fang is located near Donglong Lake, and because of Gu Fangchen, it is under the strict jurisdiction of Jian Ge, and there are no more disturbances.

Upon hearing this, Yi'er furrowed her delicate brows and said with concern:

"Who could possibly injure the young master like this?"

It's you, girl...

Gu Fangchen inwardly grumbled, but obviously, he couldn't say it out loud.

"Ahem, that thief has already been executed, there's no need to worry."

……

the other side.

The "Six Star Lords" set up a destiny chart and were battling Xu Fu with magic.

He thought to himself, without the threat of the "Chaos Wheel of Calamity", how could Gu Fangchen be a match for the "Four-Phase Calamity Master"?

Those who follow the path of "annihilation" are all truly indiscriminate madmen who cannot distinguish friend from foe, and whose only belief is to destroy everything.

That is their "way".

The Dao Master of the "Extinction" Dao, who practices the ultimate path of this Dao, naturally wouldn't take a mere fourth-rank child seriously.

Previously, the "Six Star Lords" had wondered why Gu Fangchen was still able to survive even though the "Four Calamity Lords" had personally intervened.

Only now do we realize that this guy stole the karma of the "Four-Phase Robbery Master," kidnapped him as a hostage, and used it to threaten the latter.

This made the "Four-Phase Robbery Master" hesitant to act rashly.
After all, he took away the Dao of "extinction," so even a madman would have to consider the consequences.

It must be said, this person is indeed exceptionally skilled; he was able to accomplish something like this, and it's a mystery how he did it...

However, today, he has set up a horoscope, separating the cause and effect between the two, so they will not affect each other in the short term.

Although Gu Fangchen's vast and intricate causal relationships were beyond his comprehension, he did not intend to delve into them this time; he simply wanted to separate the two.

He can still perform this level of causal manipulation.

Otherwise, all his accumulation over the past thousand years would have become a joke!
What's hateful is that this little beast severed one of his causal threads, leaving his destiny chart incomplete. After forcibly binding it together, the actual effect achieved was only about two-thirds.

If he were in his complete form, why would he need to find someone to cooperate with?
Once the "Warp and Weft Destiny Chart" is successful, he will be the master of this world, able to do whatever he wants.

Killing Gu Fangchen is just a matter of a single thought!

"However... this is enough."

“Once the causal link between the two is removed, Gu Fangchen will have no trump card left.”

In this way, as long as Gu Fangchen dies, the "Four Phases Calamity Master" can naturally take back the "Calamity Sea Karma Wheel" and no longer need to fear this person's threat!
The "Six Star Lords" sneered as their aged figures appeared high in the distance.

"Heh... Junior, there's no need to struggle in vain anymore. Even if you can interfere with my destiny chart, do you think you can deal with the 'Four-Phase Robbery Master' at the same time?"

At this moment, the sky was filled with countless lines of cause and effect that were difficult for ordinary people to see. These lines of cause and effect shuttled through the inverted Starry Sky Mirror, collided with the endless raindrops, and then disappeared.

This represents a fierce battle of wits between the two.

Xu Fu pursed his lips, feeling somewhat worried.

That "Four Phases Calamity Master" is no ordinary person. Although Gu Fangchen is clever, his greatest achievement in a direct confrontation is killing Gu Yuye, a half-step second-rank cultivator. Facing a peak second-rank cultivator, whether he can escape is a question...

Moreover, this peak second-grade cultivator is the Dao Lord of the "Extinction" Dao.

Xu Fu had only fought this world-destroying madwoman a few times, and knew just how dangerous she was...

Although Gu Fangchen has managed to escape danger almost every time, this time it was truly too dangerous.

Seeing Xu Fu remain silent, the "Six Star Lords" continued to sneer, intending to further manipulate his mind.

But soon, he suddenly discovered that the two people and one wolf in the natal chart had suddenly started moving again.

—Because of Xu Fu's interference, the "Six Star Lords" do not have absolute control over the events that occur in the natal chart, and can only vaguely sense the changes that occur.

The Six Star Lords were taken aback. Their first thought was that Gu Fangchen was still putting up a last-ditch effort to escape, and that the Four Tribulations Lord had chased after her.

Heh... Overestimating yourself!
You're only a fourth-rank official, and even if you include that Qingman "Wolf God," you're only a third-rank official. With your spatial abilities restricted by your destiny chart, how can you outrun a second-rank official? The sneer on the face of the "Six Star Lords" deepened.

Look, the "Four-Phase Robbery Master" are biting so close, almost touching each other. What can this little beast do?
He's probably already closed his eyes and waiting to die!
However, the "Six Star Lords" did not get to see the abrupt end that symbolized the "Four Calamity Lords" killing Gu Fangchen.

The two of them drifted further and further away...

It floated out of the range of the destiny plate with great smoothness, and then the wind and thunder spatial power of the "Wolf God" flashed by and disappeared into the air together.

Before the "Six Star Lords" could react, they stood there stunned for a second before the cold smile on their lips froze.

"Six Star Lords": "???"

Wait, where are my teammates?!

He could understand that Gu Fangchen had tried to escape and had succeeded.

But why did he take the "Four-Phase Robbery Master" with him when he ran away?!
At this moment, not only were the "Six Star Lords" dumbfounded, but Xu Fu was also stunned in bewilderment...

What's the situation?
Her eyes flashed, she narrowed them, and her expression suddenly turned strangely suspicious.

Whether it was her intuition as a disciple of the Heavenly Mandate Path or some other kind of radar, a thought that should have seemed completely unrelated suddenly flashed through her mind.

That "Four-Phase Robbery Master" is a girl in red, right?
……

Gu Fangchen looked at the top of the pretty girl's head and said in a deep voice:
“Yi’er, I took you away without telling you before I did it... Even if you don’t want to, I have no choice but to do it. If you want to blame me, then blame me.”

Upon hearing this, Yi'er leaned back slightly and gently rubbed her long, soft, black hair against Gu Fangchen's chin. Her eyes were clear and gentle as she obediently said:

“Young master, I will follow you wherever you go, whether you marry a chicken or a dog. Since my father died, I have been all alone. Since the tavern is being taken care of by the Sword Pavilion, there should be no problems. I am willing to follow you.”

After she boldly finished speaking, her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

However, my heart was pounding. The image of a lone man and woman riding a giant winged wolf, soaring freely through the sky and fleeing for their lives, was even more exciting than what was written in the storybooks.

It's like... eloping.

It's fun.

Yi'er's eyes were glazed over. She looked up and reached out to tug at Gu Fangchen's sleeve.

Gu Fangchen lowered her head, and Yi'er tilted her head back forcefully, their lips meeting tightly.

Although Gu Fangchen had noticed Yi'er's audacity before—this young lady was truly lustful at first sight, daring to give him her entire fortune as dowry the moment she saw him.

But I never expected Yi'er to be so bold.

Xuexiang had a clear goal from the beginning: to become a concubine's maid. However, she repeatedly failed to achieve this due to shyness and hesitation.

However, after giving her a sweet kiss, Yi'er blushed and quickly pulled away.

Gu Fangchen had just been chased by the Lord of the Robbery, and the excruciating pain was still raging in her senses. Her mind was still filled with unvented rage. Now, she was aroused by the girl, and her whole body shuddered. How could she let her take advantage of the situation and slip away like this?

Gu Fangchen raised her hand and turned Yi'er's cheek back to her. She lowered her head and tasted the sweet and refreshing aroma of the wine, which was intoxicating.

After drinking "Drunken Spring Breeze," Gu Fangchen was surprised to find that, perhaps because she had been drinking and brewing wine since childhood, Yi'er's taste was at least 80% like the best wine in the world...

In other words, doesn't that mean that this long-lost wine actually exists in the world in another form?

However, from now on, probably only one person will be able to taste it.

Fine wine and beautiful women, all within my embrace.

Coupled with the burning passion in her heart, Gu Fangchen went even deeper, but when she saw Yi'er's dreamy eyes...

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind—

Oh no, will Lord Jiezhu wake up halfway through like the Imperial Advisor?

Gu Fangchen's eyelids twitched, and she tightened her arms around Yi'er's slender waist, but her mind cleared instantly.

If the Lord of the Robbery wakes up and finds that he has lost his innocence, I wonder if he will immediately turn evil on the spot...

After all, he said he fell in love at first sight with Lord Jie, not with Yi'er.

"Well……"

Yi'er let out a soft hum, leaning against Gu Fangchen's chest, panting heavily. After a while, she came to her senses, raised her head blankly, and asked:

"Sir, what's wrong?"

Gu Fangchen said solemnly:

"It's nothing. The situation is critical, and the future is uncertain, so I'm just worried..."

Yi'er didn't seem to care. She blinked, said "oh," and sat up straight, looking around at the scenery.

Gu Fangchen glanced at the little head spinning around in her arms, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

He still remembered that the only instruction left by the old swordsman Lü Ping before he went mad was that his daughter must not leave the wine shop.

And in the game, this is indeed reflected; it is always Yi'er who appears in the tavern.

Only when he appears outside the wine shop is he the "Four-Phase Robbery Master" Lü Fuyi.

But now, whether it was intentional or out of necessity, Yi'er has indeed appeared outside the wine shop.

Gu Fangchen had actually taken out the jade seal to test Yi'er's attitude, and then risked her own life to test it.

Because of Yi'er's background and her close relationship with Tianmen, he actually had some doubts as to whether she might be one of the nine preachers.

However, it seems there are no flaws so far.

But Gu Fangchen did not completely dismiss his doubts. He raised his head and looked at the endless, majestic, and precipitous mountain peaks that were getting closer and closer.

Soon, the "Wolf God" passed through the towering "Half of the Country".

"Wow!"

The giant wolf suddenly flapped its wings, stirring up the air currents, and the thick fog in the sky dissipated, making Gu Fangchen's vision suddenly clear.

"Whoosh..."

The wind howls mightily, sweeping across the heavens.

The mountain peak was thousands of feet high, covered with thick snow, a vast expanse of white. There was also the skeleton of a huge giant lying on the mountain, pointing to the sky, with lush trees growing on its back.

That was the "god" of Qingman who had long since died, exuding an ancient and barbaric aura. Anyone who stood beneath it would involuntarily tremble and feel their own insignificance.

Compared to the Great Wei Dynasty, this terrifying scene seems more like a figment of imagination, as if it were carved from an ancient mural.

This makes one wonder, are these so-called "gods" truly cultivators?

Are there truly practitioners in this world who can achieve such a level of physical physical cultivation?

Compared to today's martial arts practitioners, even Ding Xingfeng, the "Martial Saint" feared by all like a fierce tiger, looks like a helpless child in comparison to this thing.

Gu Fangchen took a deep breath, feeling a tremendous shock within her.

Compared to what he saw in the game through a screen, he only realized how absurd it was when he saw the skeletal giants that stretched across the mountains with his own eyes.

If cultivators in ancient times could truly cultivate their physical bodies to such a level, then wouldn't their current cultivation be a joke?
Even a second-grade expert could probably not cause as much damage as a giant's light stomp!
If it were the Gu Fangchen from before, it would indeed be incomprehensible. Some players might even think that this was just a texture added by the development team to create a certain atmosphere.

But now, he has met a "military genius" from ancient times, a first-rank expert.

Like an ant, it was wiped out in the blink of an eye by Ning Caiyong, or perhaps just by some being that occupied Ning Caiyong's body.

In addition, Ning Caiyong said that he was not of the first rank.

So perhaps the implication is that in ancient times, the so-called first rank, or "those who have attained the Dao," was probably just at the bottom.

A thought popped into Gu Fangchen's mind.

Xie Qian's decision to seize half of the land was probably not to prevent the Qingman people from entering the Great Wei, but rather to prevent the people of the Great Wei from entering the Qingman...

That half of the landscape blocked the view of the Wei people, preventing them from seeing the massive mountain peaks and the skeletons.

If cultivators from the Great Wei were to witness this scene, many of them would likely have their resolve crumble.

Gu Fangchen took a deep breath, her eyes sharp.

Now it seems there are still so many things he doesn't know about this game...

"Sa——"

The giant wolf spread its wings and carried the two of them as it charged toward the earth.

Under the protection of the "gods," there was an endless grassland with countless densely packed tents surrounding the huge golden tent in the center.

Countless Qingman people prostrated themselves at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, bowing to the white bone giant and chanting this ancient poem.

The sound traveled all around and even reached Gu Fangchen's ears.

In their eyes, this snow-capped mountain is a sacred mountain.

Only the Great God can ascend the mountain by following the spine of the "God" to glimpse and control the destiny above the starry sky.

When the "Wolf God" landed, many Qingman people recognized him and knelt down to bow their heads.

The Qingman people all know that this is the exclusive mount of the Great Tiansa, although the two people sitting on it are dressed as people from the Great Wei.

However, those who receive such treatment from the Great Heavenly King must not be ordinary people.

Moreover, the "Wolf God" landed right in the Khan's golden tent!

This indicates that these were not only guests of the Great Tensa, but also guests of the Khan, so they naturally showed them respect.

Gu Fangchen rolled over and landed on the ground, reaching out to Yi'er to help her down.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the golden tent in front of him.

The guard standing at the door bowed his head and gestured for the others to enter.
"Young Master Gu, please come in. The Khan has been waiting for you for a long time."
