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

Chapter 224 Kill Him (Part 2)

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Gu Fangchen followed Banruo Lianyue into the extremely luxurious hot spring palace.

Prajna Lotus Moon dismissed the other maids, leaving only Qing Jian, then turned to look at Gu Fangchen, asking suspiciously:

"You came so quickly, did you get your hands on the 'Wangyin Sundial'?"

Previously, Gu Fangchen had told her that the two of them would act separately.

Gu Fangchen needs the incense offerings and prayers of the Qingman people to advance to the third rank of cultivation, therefore she needs to obtain the faith of the Qingman people.

He wanted to forge alliances and make the Qingman people rise again to their peak strength, and the most important of these alliances were naturally the Western Regions and the Sea Kingdom.

In the Western Regions, the woman named Fatuma was gained trust and then controlled by Prajna Lotus Moon, who assumed the identity of Princess Garuda.

The Vatuma are mostly Jingluo people. As long as the Garuda ruins can be recreated, it would be very easy for Prajna Lotus Moon with her identity and strength.

The problem is that Prajna Lotus Moon isn't unwilling to return to her homeland as she just said; she simply can't get in...

In other words, what she just told that old King Mori was basically all made up lies.

She came to this place called Vatuma, firstly to obtain the immeasurable spring water.

Secondly, she has been secretly sending people to investigate the Garuda ruins all these years. Now that she has some clues, she plans to follow the trail to find its entrance.

This matter will take at least a few days.

Therefore, she proposed that Gu Fangchen obtain the "Past Influence Sundial" first before she would agree to help him.

This "Wangyin Tiangui" is a sacred artifact of the Qingman people, and only Maha Wuliang can use it. Obtaining it is no less difficult than finding the Garuda ruins.

In this way, she would have enough time to find the ruins of Garuda.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fangchen smiled and said:

“Of course I got it. Now I am the ‘Heavenly God’ messenger of Qingman. What reason could Maha Wuliang have to refuse me?”

He flipped his palm, and the "Wangyin Tiangui" (a type of sundial) appeared in his hand.

Prajna Lotus Moon was taken aback.

This guy is as weird as ever.

One moment he was a traitor who murdered his king and betrayed his country, and the next he became a guest of honor of the Qingman. It was thought that even if he had already colluded with the Qingman, he was just a pawn in the game of the Qingman Khan and Mohe Wuliang.

To get my hands on that "Wangyin Tiandui", I'll have to resort to trickery and deception for a while.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he became a messenger of the "gods".
Moreover, can we really believe in Sule and Maha Wuliang like that?

Prajna Lotus Moon couldn't figure out the reason at all.

How could he convince the powerful ruler of Qingman, and even the Great Tiansa who could cripple the "Martial Saint," that a man from Wei could be an envoy of the "Gods"?
Prajna Lotus Moon looked at the "Past Cause Sundial" in his hand, her eyes behind the veil flickering, and her heart stirred uncontrollably.

If Gu Fangchen is killed now, both the "Past Cause Sundial" and the "Lotus Treasury in the Womb" can be obtained.

—During this time, she has determined through secret methods and various clues from the past that the "lotus hidden in the womb" may not be on Gu Lianxian, but it must be on Gu Fangchen.

Although it is unknown how he managed to place the "lotus within the womb" into himself, this is the answer Prajna Lotus Moon received.

Since that's the case, killing this guy will naturally allow us to retrieve the "Lotus Treasury in the Womb".

At that time, she only needs to find the "Boundless Spring" again, and she will naturally be able to revive that person...

Gu Fangchen seemed oblivious, toying with the "Past Cause Sundial" in her hand, and then said:

"Speaking of which, the fact that it was so easy to obtain is actually related to the princess."

Princess Prajna sneered:
“Even if I go to Qingman in person, I may not be able to get the ‘Wangyin Sundial’. But you’re running around with it now. You never tell the truth.”

Gu Fangchen smiled and sighed:

"I've always been a person who gets hurt by being honest, but the princess has a deep misunderstanding of me."

"However, I'm sure that spending more time together during this period will dispel all the misunderstandings the princess has about me."

He gestured for her to enter, then looked at Prajna Lotus Moon:
"It's almost time, Princess, won't you take a bath?"

Prajna Lotus Moon narrowed her eyes, turned her head, and with a light tap of her toes, she floated behind Gu Fangchen in the blink of an eye. Her snow-white arms wrapped around his neck, her slender hands brushed his chin, and she turned his face towards her, her breath as fragrant as orchids.

"What? Does Your Excellency the 'Heavenly God' truly believe that having even a little bit of leverage allows you to do whatever you want?"

Her smile was alluring, but her tone was devoid of any smile, icy and chilling, as if to say, "If you dare to say it, I'll strangle you."

But Gu Fangchen wasn't afraid at all.

He knew perfectly well how much Prajna Lotus Moon cared about the person he wanted to resurrect.

In the original storyline, because she couldn't be resurrected, she simply burned herself to death without any hesitation.

And now, he also knows that he is the one that Prajna Lotus Moon is going to resurrect.

Naturally, he understood even more how deep Prajna Lotus Moon's feelings were.

After all, Gu Fangchen knew all too well what she had done.

To a little girl who depended on him for survival, an ordinary soldier gave his all, fought on the battlefield, endured countless hardships, and still gave everything he had to satisfy the little girl's life and wishes.

Finally, he died in front of the little girl while protecting her.

Such a being can only be described as invincible.

Gu Fangchen knew that Banruo Lianyue was indeed capable of doing anything to revive him.

So at this moment, he turned his head with a smile and said softly:
"I feel that I can indeed do whatever I want."

Gu Fangchen put away the "Past Cause Sundial" in her hand and continued:
“Princess Prajna, others may not know, but I know very well…you are not Prajna Lotus Moon at all, right?”

He maintained his smile, watching the face that suddenly froze beneath the light veil covering Prajna Lotus Moon.

Prajna Lotus Moon's hand movements also froze.

Taking advantage of the moment, Gu Fangchen reached back and covered her face with her palm, caressing her exquisite cheek, and sneered, saying:
"Has Your Highness forgotten?"

"When we first met, I lifted your veil. Guess what I saw?"

He said, enunciating each word clearly:

"A pair of blue eyes, truly beautiful eyes, like glass, don't you think, Your Highness?"

Prajna Lotus Moon was filled with shock and rage, her whole body feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar: "You!"

Gu Fangchen feigned curiosity and asked:

"However, as everyone knows, Princess Prajna Lotus Moon of Garuda sacrificed her eyes for that ancient desert kingdom, just to create that boundless oasis. This moved the heavens, and she became a holy woman of the Tara religion."

He clicked his tongue twice:
"Oh dear, if those elite Luo people of Vatuma find out about this, what do you think they'll think?"

"Moreover, our princess can't even enter the Garuda ruins!"

This is the information presented in the game.

If Prajna Lotus Moon weren't unable to enter the Garuda Ruins, it wouldn't be necessary to replace the real "Immeasurable Spring" with the "Immeasurable Spring" water left over from the past.

Prajna Lotus Moon hasn't even found the ruins yet. If she loses the trust of the people of Vatuma like this, obtaining the Boundless Spring Water will be a pipe dream. Gu Fangchen's threat this time, as always, precisely struck at her Achilles' heel!

Gu Fangchen smiled and whispered:

"So, who exactly is our esteemed Princess Prajna Lotus Moon?"

Prajna Lotus Moon trembled, closed her eyes, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.

Gu Fangchen turned around, and the hand covering Banruo Lianyue's cheek slipped under the veil, gently stroking the delicate contours of her face. Her fingertips touched the trembling, butterfly-wing-like eyelashes and massaged around her eye sockets.

For cultivators, the eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of their body.

It is a place that absolutely cannot be controlled by anyone.

Even martial artists find it difficult to train their eyesight, let alone Prajna Lotus Moon, who is a divine cultivator.

Gu Fangchen's current actions can only be described as reckless and arbitrary.

Prajna Lotus Moon suppressed her growing killing intent, took a deep breath, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Just a bath?"

She knew that asking such a question was somewhat naive, but she still couldn't help asking it. Perhaps it was because Gu Fangchen had exposed her deepest secret that, for a moment, she seemed to have returned to five hundred years ago and become that little girl who watched that person die in front of her and was at a loss.

Unintentionally, she revealed her vulnerable side.

Gu Fangchen then grabbed her hand and squeezed it, smiling:

"It's just a bath. As a servant sent by King Mori, my job is simply to help Her Highness cleanse herself."

He murmured:

"I feel like Your Highness looks familiar, and I'd like to confirm a certain mark... I hope Your Highness won't mind?"

This was naturally Gu Fangchen secretly laying the groundwork for her own future.

However, in Prajna Lotus Moon's mind at this moment, Gu Fangchen was a complete perverted demon, and hearing him say such things made her feel disgusted.

It's already come to this, what's the use of whether she minds or not...?

They just wanted to force her to say the invitation herself.

Prajna Lotus Moon pursed her lips and lowered her head:

"Of course I don't mind."

Gu Fangchen smiled and called Qingjian over to help the princess undress and bathe...

Of course, he has to go down himself too, otherwise what kind of personal attendant would he be?

While enjoying the feast for the eyes, Gu Fangchen couldn't help but touch her chin.

He once couldn't help but ponder a question—could it be that these women with high cultivation levels all specialize in the path of killing and warfare?
And now, he has the answer.

it's not true.

At least... Prajna Lotus Moon is not.

The hot spring is also landscaped, with lotus flowers in full bloom and lush greenery.

While appreciating the beauty, Gu Fangchen did not forget her main purpose.

Sure enough, there was a small mole on the spot above the ribs of the Prajna Lotus Moon, where it was covered by a heavy mass.

He was finally able to confirm it.

Everything he had experienced in the illusion had indeed become reality.

……

Gu Fangchen stayed at the hot spring palace for three days in a row.

To outsiders, Princess Prajna clearly adored this "male favorite," and later even went so far as to ask King Mori for him.

King Mori naturally felt that his arrangement was perfect and readily agreed.

Of course, Gu Fangchen had actually been secretly contacting people from the "Qing" Dao these past few days and finally got news of the wandering merchant.

This man's real name is Golan, and he was a smuggler in the gray area of ​​Vatumma twenty years ago.

Later, he worked for a tomb raiding gang. They supposedly found a large tomb, but he was the only one who returned.

After that, he secretly went to the Central Plains.

He sold the "Heart-Planting Poison" he had to Gu Yuye, and then fled back to Fatu Ma, where he went into hiding and became a bandit.

Now, they have wandered into a small oasis in the desert and are participating in a fight between two groups of desert bandits.

It's safe to say that he's a guy who managed to escape from Gu Yuye's clutches; his ability to cause trouble and his ability to hide are unparalleled.

If Gu Fangchen hadn't been very familiar with the power of the Vatuma and able to compare the subtle differences, she really wouldn't have been able to find this guy.

Now that we've found this guy, the rest is much easier.

Gu Fangchen seized the opportunity and tied him up, using the same method she had used on Guan Yue, making him believe he had been poisoned by the "Heart-Planting Poison" and prying open his mouth.

Golan was the one who personally dug out this "heart poison," so he naturally knew its power and immediately collapsed.

According to him, the key to the Garuda ruins actually lies in several mirages in the desert.

People often mistake it for a mirage, but in reality, it is not an illusion, but a real phenomenon.

By simply entering from a fixed angle, one can discover several hidden array points.

Once the key to the formation is broken, one can enter the true Garuda ruins.

……

Prajna Lotus Moon looked at her naked self in the mirror, and the red handprints on her fair and jade-like body were particularly eye-catching.

She reached out and touched the marks, her eyes growing colder.

Gu Fangchen had been deliberately humiliating and retaliating against her these past few days, not allowing her to remove these marks, and after wantonly ravaging them, she would take her anger out on Qingjian.

This guy even pretended to ask Qing Jian if she was willing... Of course, she already knew that since giving her the Jade Refining Pill, Qing Jian's appearance had been restored, and she was very grateful to Gu Fangchen. This guy was also someone who would take advantage of a favor.

"This absolutely cannot continue..."

Prajna Lotus Moon took a deep breath, a hint of killing intent flashing in her eyes. She flipped her hand, and a phantom golden lotus flower appeared.

"However, after this period of contact, it has finally been confirmed that the 'Lotus in the Womb' is indeed on him."

"Once I find the Garuda ruins and enter them, I will kill him."

“By using a secret method to retrieve the ‘Lotus from the Womb’ and then seizing the ‘Sundial of Past Causes’… I can then resurrect him!”

Prajna Lotus Moon looked at the lotus in her hand, her gaze gradually softening, and murmured:

"Father... wait for me."

"Five hundred years is not too late."
