Bulwark of Light

Chapter 1036 They can't survive (big chapter!)
Nagano, Gu Clan Hall.

The two old men fished as usual, but this time...the fish basket was full of live fish that had been hooked.

Ever since that day in the Red Lake, I have learned that Gu Shen is alive.

A lot of smiles appeared on Gu Qilin's face.

People live in a breath.

The so-called breath is actually a thought.

Gu Qilin has lived to this age, and most of the "people" he cares about have passed away.

As for the promising juniors.

Now there are only Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shen left. Needless to say, the former hasn't made him worry about it since he was born.

Gu Nanfeng is a typical eldest son in the family. He is capable, sensible, and knowledgeable. He is simply a perfect choice for the head of the family.

As for Gu Shen.

In the old man's heart, this is a "child" who is different from everyone else.

No matter how many years have passed, it is the same in his heart.

In Gu Qilin's life, the only junior who owed him money was Gu Changzhi.

Gu Changzhi left too early.

The things he owed cannot be made up for... So he subconsciously transferred this "debt" to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen is Gu Changzhi's fancy heir.

and so.

Gu Shen is also someone who takes care of the family.

Even though the blood flowing in his body is different, Gu Qilin regards it as his own.

Back then, the Gu family provided Gu Shen with a fairly reliable asylum.

now.

Gu Shen became the most proud figure of the Gu family.

There was a commotion outside the hall.

Gu Qilin didn't look back, he sat on the chair, closed his eyes peacefully, held the fishing rod in his palm, and felt the tremor brought by the lake.

It's meaningless to use mental power for things like fishing.

A young figure in a cloak came to the back of the two old men with slow steps.

Gu Qilin smiled and said, "Is the trip to Xizhou going well?"

Close the pole.

"Bam—"

The lake broke open, and another big fish slid out of a perfect curve in the air, and finally fell into the old man's fish basket!

"Thanks to Gu Shen, it went well."

Gu Nanfeng said softly, "I have met Mr. Zhou."

"Will it grow..."

Zhou Wei waved his hand with a smile, and said with emotion: "I have already submitted my resignation application. After a few days, when the safety committee finds a suitable candidate, I will officially dismiss the title of 'chairman'."

The Safety Committee does not currently have a formal chairperson in the real sense.

The news of Zhou Wei's retirement was too sudden.

Although there are many young talents in the committee, the person who is really qualified to sit in this seat...has not yet been born.

"You're out of luck."

Gu Qilin smiled and said: "I think the title of chairman of the safety committee will not be worn by anyone for a year or so... just wait obediently, there are things to worry about over there."

"Gu Shen is the 'Grand Adjudicator', not the Grand Commander. Why are you gloating?"

Zhou Wei said unhappily: "You can't escape trouble with those things in the command post."

Seeing the two old men so "vigorous", Gu Nanfeng couldn't help laughing.

On the way back from the Gu mission, he had already heard the news from Nagano.

Gu Shen is titled [Barrier], and officially serves as the chief adjudicator of the Dongzhou Tribunal!
"Okay, let's not talk about this..."

Gu Qilin didn't argue with Zhou Wei, he turned his head slightly, looked at Gu Nanfeng, and said, "It seems that it took a long time to return from Ghent this time..."

It took less than half a month for the Gu's mission to return to Nagano from Xizhou.

"On the one hand, it was Xizhou who kept me back."

Gu Nanfeng walked slowly behind the old man, stretched out his hands, and kneaded Gu Qilin's shoulders.

"On the other hand, I changed my route and temporarily met with the saints of Nanzhou Church."

Gu Qilin frowned slightly.

"Isn't the negotiation on Yuanting Island over?"

"good."

Gu Nanfeng said: "The blockade of Yuanting Island has been broken through, and the church hopes that Nagano can support some extraordinary people to fight against the Tower of Origin... So I had a meeting with Saint Haitong on the high seas, which was delayed some time."

"interesting."

Gu Qilin said coldly: "The Church of Storms doesn't need the spiritual link of [Deep Sea], but wants to interview you in the real world. Is it to show off [Storm]'s power over the sea?"

"Not at all."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "I asked the saint of Haitong to come to the open sea to find me."

Gu Qilin and Zhou Wei cast confused glances at the same time.

Gu Nanfeng, who was standing behind the two old men, said calmly: "There are a lot of things that happened in Guangming City this time, I hope you two can be more patient..."

……

……

"I don't have that much patience..."

The tea house at the entrance of the Forbidden Snow City was full of voices, and the room was very quiet.

Shen Li raised his eyebrows anxiously.

He glanced at Gu Shen, then at Mu Wanqiu, and raised his voice: "So what's in the Temple of Hades, and what was the final result of your fight?"

"..."

Mu Wanqiu just drank tea silently and didn't answer.

Gu Shen picked up a chopstick of beef and chewed it slowly.

"Why are you so dumb... Am I not an apostle? Why didn't you notify me of such an important mission?"

Shen Li was indignant.

"The Pluto Temple in Qinghe has been abandoned, and there is nothing valuable inside."

In the end, Mu Wanqiu took the initiative and said, "This task is not dangerous or troublesome, so I didn't call you."

The Temple of Pluto is full of remnants of the genetic law.

This secret involves Gu Shen's life experience.

So Mu Wanqiu will not take the initiative to reveal.

The trip to Qinghe this time was indeed very dull. The only thing that impressed her was the poor man who managed to escape from the disaster of Lintieshan, but was still swallowed by the poison. Lock yourself in a coffin.

This story is not easy to tell Shen Li.

"As for the result of my fight with Gu Shen...Of course I lost."

Mu Wanqiu said calmly, "There should be no suspense."

"I want to see the video."

Shen Li gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I know you lost, I want to see how you lost!"

"No image."

Mu Wanqiu said lightly: "During the fight, I cut off [Deep Sea]'s information capture function."

What a joke, she is an apostle!
If this plane takes video and transmits it to the deep water area, it will be fine!
Gu Shen silently sipped his tea.

There is such a thing as images...

Chu Ling has been watching the battle the whole time, and there must be preserved battle images in Ling Lingyao's compartment.

It's just that this thing will be blocked in the sea area of ​​​​the array box, and it will never be circulated.

"I didn't win much in this battle."

Gu Shen cleared his throat, and said slowly, "If you have to count... it's a small victory."

"No, Xiao Sheng?"

Shen Li's eyes widened, and he spoke in disbelief.

He has watched the video of the confrontation between Gu Shen and Jia Wei Honghu dozens of times...

Being able to fight back and forth with Gu Shen, doesn't it mean that Mu Wanqiu also has the same level of fighting strength as Jia?

Top title!

"...You don't have to save face for me."

Mu Wanqiu shook her head and said, "This fight was only halfway through. I didn't use the [Forbidden Sealed Artifact] or my authority. I lost completely. It was similar to the fight with Bai Xiu... The situation at that time didn't look good. There is no big difference, but in fact I have no chance of winning, the longer I play, the worse I will lose."

Although she desperately wanted to win, she never lied about such things.

What a small victory, a big victory, a miserable defeat.

It's nothing more than victory and defeat.

Thinking back to the scene of the duel in Zhaiyun Mountain, she could only let out a long sigh in her heart.

For this battle, she prepared a lot of trump cards... It's a pity that after using all of them on Mount Zhaiyun, they were all broken by Gu Shen.

After the first field was torn apart.

The more Mu Wanqiu wanted to break the feeling of "high mountain with dead leaves" in her heart.

The more frustrated she is.

In the end... the result of this battle was that she stopped fighting and declared it over.

Gu Shen had a hearty fight with her.

"You are already very strong."

Gu Shen also thought about it, and said, "If you hadn't met me, you would have won with a high probability."

"Well... remove the white sleeves too."

Mu Wanqiu still shook her head: "In this world, there are only a few people who are astonishingly talented and beautiful. If you remove them, what's the point?"

The two had a conversation, covered in clouds and mist, but there was no useful information.

The little iron man was so anxious that he wanted to intervene several times, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Why did it stop at the top of the mountain?

Why are you not bad?

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Gu Shen smiled and said: "This time I left in a hurry. You went out with me this week to perform missions, and you were so tired that you couldn't breathe, so I deliberately gave you a vacation. The disaster location of the Pluto Temple is in Qinghe District. Iron Mountain, the temple is indeed deserted. I contacted the Huaqi people to deal with the disaster.”

"Huaqi, why don't you contact the transcendent in Jiangbei?"

Shen Li was startled, and subconsciously asked.

"There are a large number of genetic law life capsules piled up in the temple." Gu Shen said indifferently: "These capsules... were disposed of by Huazhi before, and they are still disposed of by them now."

"The life capsule of the Gene Act?"

Shen Li suddenly realized something.

Qinghe District is Gu Shen's hometown.

"Actually, there is nothing bad to say." Gu Shen shrugged and said, "As we all know, I am an orphan. Although there is no direct evidence to prove that I have a connection with Lin Tieshan's life capsule... But I think, I and There must be a certain degree of correlation between the genetic laws."

The probability of the S-level ability of Blazing Huo being born naturally is close to zero.

"This……"

After Gu Shen revealed his life experience, the scene became quiet all of a sudden.

Shen Li regretted that he had to break the casserole and ask the end.

"Okay, what's the matter."

Gu Shen patted the little iron man on the shoulder, and said: "I heard that the Gu family mission has returned... Later, you will follow me to the Gu family hall and ask about the follow-up of the Xizhou scriptures."

……

……

"...The follow-up of the Xizhou Sacred Code is probably like this."

It took a long time.

Gu Nanfeng recounted the general process of this trip to the west in detail, of course... from his own perspective.

After Gu Qilin and Zhou Wei finished listening, they both fell into deep thought.

"The God of Light hopes to marry the Gu family to change the current camp structure?"

Gu Qilin rubbed his eyebrows.

He only felt that the amount of information brought back by Xidu this time was too great.

"He is at the bottom of the Red Lake, and he has indeed expressed such a point of view."

Gu Nanfeng whispered: "It's just at the cost of promoting the bill..."

"So you refused directly?"

Gu Qilin raised his eyebrows.

"of course."

Gu Nanfeng was a little surprised by the way the old man asked: "We have exhausted all our efforts to expel the proposal of the bill."

"Say you're young, and you're old. Say you're old, and you're really young."

Gu Qilin changed into a comfortable sitting position, and said persuasively: "The God of Light wants to implement the Awakening Act. This kind of thing cannot be decided overnight... Don't rush to refuse. Next time you encounter such a thing, first say that you need it." Time to think about it, and then slowly turn around. Think about it, Meng Xizhou is now the goddess of the Temple of Light, who holds the power alone, and will sooner or later be the successor of the Bright Tinder. something?"

Gu Nanfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You mean to drag Meng Xizhou into the Dongzhou camp?"

Gu Qilin blinked.

"I respect her position and I respect her camp."

Gu Nanfeng said sincerely: "No one wants to see the war of gods launched... It's just that there are some things that we can't decide. Behind me is the Gu family, and behind her there is a whole city of light that needs to be considered."

"Your personality is like your knife. It's too straight."

Gu Qilin stretched out his withered and aged fingers, and tapped lightly on the back of Gu Nanfeng's hand.

He said indifferently: "What I want you to do is to persuade Meng Xizhou's position? If there is a sharp conflict and contradiction between the positions of the two of you, will there still be a drama of 'robbing the prison'?"

Gu Nanfeng's eyes were blank.

The old man raised his fingers horizontally and vertically, and wrote a word.

drag.

"How long has that old fellow Xizhou lived?"

Gu Qilin asked: "How long can he live? Who decides what happens after he dies?"

"..."

Gu Nanfeng understood.

This is indeed a very straightforward statement. If it is delayed until the God of Light dies and the Dao disappears, and the Awakening Act cannot be passed, then everything still has room to turn around.

At that time, Meng Xizhou was the only one he needed to convince.

And the Gu family has never been Xizhou's enemy.

"Do you know why you have not been announced as the 'official head of the Gu family'?"

Gu Qilin said meaningfully: "It's not because I want to grasp this meaningless power... I have been waiting for this day for too long, and I look forward to the day when you become the head of the five families more than anyone else." .”

Gu Nanfeng remained silent.

Of course he knew how much effort the old man had put into cultivating himself.

Now he is still the young master of the Gu family, but in fact he already holds great power, except for the last "name".

The name is right.

The last name seems unimportant, but the real weight is far beyond the imagination of the world.

The previous Patriarch of the Gu family was named Gu Changzhi.

And the previous man who was favored by Gu Qilin and thought he could become the "head of the family" was called Gu Lushen... Gu Lushen gave old man Gu a deep, deep stab.

The old man sitting on the chair at this moment, if he opened his clothes.

Half of those dense scars were left by Gu Lushen.

"Ranche is the sharpest wind in the world."

Gu Qilin said softly: "But no matter how sharp the wind is, it should be the wind... The wind is omnipresent and softer than water."

"You already have all the qualities of the Patriarch of the Gu family, only a little bit less. The one that knows how to be flexible."

Mr. Gu narrowed one eye, and the two fingers of one hand interlaced.

Gu Nanfeng saw this scene in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

……

……

"Speaking of which, I'm curious about what you gained in the Forbidden Library..."

Chairman Zhou Wei said with a smile: "Nanfeng, it is said that there is the 'land of the prophets' left by the God of Destiny, where and what did you see?"

Gu Nanfeng recovered from his trance.

"Master President, unfortunately, I didn't see anything."

Gu Nanfeng smiled wryly and said, "The god of fate doesn't seem to favor me, I got nothing in the taboo library..."

"That's a pity."

Zhou Wei said with emotion: "That brat Gu Shen put oil on his feet and ran too fast, otherwise he would have another chance."

"The seat of the God of Light is not a good thing now, and it's good to run away."

Gu Qilin said: "Kill Jia Wei, mess up Guangming City, and then go to the Taboo Bookstore to learn about it. How can there be such a good thing?"

"Too."

Zhou Wei thought for a while, if he was Gu Shen, he wouldn't dare to stay in Guangming City for a long time.

"Actually, there is one more important thing."

Gu Nanfeng said in a deep voice, "About the meeting between the Saint Hai Tong and me on the high seas."

"Ok?"

The two old men refocused their attention. Just now, Gu Nanfeng spent a lot of time reporting on the matter of Xidu, and he hadn't had time to talk about this little episode on the way back.

"The Red Dragon Divine Envoy of the Tower of Origin has detected the sensor signal of an extraordinary life on the coastline of Yuanting Island... Central Continent has stepped up pressure on Nan Continent."

Gu Nanfeng said: "During this period of time, extraordinary people have been stationed on the coastline of Yuanting Island. The strength of these extraordinary people has exceeded the control of the church. With the Red Dragon sitting in the town, unless the sage Chunli personally comes forward, no one can Suppress this group of supernatural beings in the Tower of Origin."

Zhou Wei's expression was heavy: "I have discovered the sensory signal of an extraordinary life, and there are still survivors in [Ice Sea Ruins]?"

"During the retreat, I saw with my own eyes...the Tower of Origin and the fleet of Bright City were completely destroyed."

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a while, and said: "However, according to the time calculation, if someone is really alive, when the flying vehicle is completely destroyed... it will be almost time to come back."

"Yin Zhuo, the Fourth Elder of the Temple of Light, and [Giant Moon] Meriz from the upper city."

Gu Qilin said indifferently: "The strength of these two titles should not be underestimated. Judging from the video you sent back, although the bombardment of black and silver shells can destroy ships, it may not be able to completely kill them... It is not impossible for the few survivors to return inland from the icy sea."

"It's just that after going through so much, their spiritual power and source quality should be close to exhaustion."

Zhou Wei gave a simple assessment: "If these two titles are alive, then the 'signal of life' near the defense line of Yuanting Island is indeed likely to come from survivors of [Ice Sea Ruins]."

"The church hopes that Nagano will send a sufficiently powerful Transcendent, preferably one that can counter the Red Dragon."

Gu Nanfeng just said this sentence.

Gu Qilin couldn't help but sneered: "Are they crazy?"

The strength of the Red Dragon God Envoy was evaluated by [Deep Sea] as unmeasurable after the Sang Island mission was over.

Because of his uniqueness.

The Tower of Origin has never granted him an exclusive title——

But the whole world knows that Red Dragon has been promoted long ago!
This is the level that is tacitly regarded as the top title of a continent by the highest level of the five continents parliament.

"Before Gu Shen's return, the meaning of Haitong Saint's words can be understood as hoping that you will personally go to Yuanting Island to supervise the battle and fight against the red dragon at the same time."

Gu Qilin sneered and said, "However, the battle at Red Lake has been made public, and the Saint Haitong obviously hopes that Nagano will send Gu Shen south."

The most qualified one is Gu Shen!

"Yes, their intentions are obvious. Although they are allied with Nagano Central City, they don't want to contribute."

Gu Nanfeng said: "Sage Haitong doesn't care about the truth about [Ice Sea Ruins] brought back by the survivors..."

The truth is that the Church of the Storm launched a death raid and wanted to drag everyone to be buried with them!
However, Guangming City and the Tower of Origin will not believe this version of the truth now.

From the moment the Nagano Central City Fleet returned inland intact, the truth lost its meaning.

"So... how did you say it?"

Gu Qilin had bulging veins on his forehead, took a deep breath and asked.

Gu Nanfeng said calmly: "I told him, he can roll as far as he can... Since everyone doesn't care about the truth, Nagano doesn't care either."

"well said!"

Gu Qilin smiled happily.

Zhou Wei helped his forehead. He was different from the violent Gu Qilin. Although he was very relieved to hear Gu Nanfeng's answer, he was also worried about the follow-up of this matter.

"What will happen if we don't support Yuanting Island at all?"

"Red Dragon has been leading a team to search the sea these days. If there are any survivors, they will be found out."

"And then?"

"Condemn, the actions of the Church of the Storm will be exposed, and the World Parliament will be held again, but the holy city will drag Nagano and the central city into the water together."

Hearing this, Zhou Wei's face was very solemn: "Although you are right, what should we do if we really get to that point?"

What Zhou Wei was worried about was not the quarrel in the world parliament.

What he is worried about is the game of will at a higher level... If this matter is confirmed, will the war of gods break out because of this?
"It won't get there."

A very calm voice suddenly sounded.

The one who spoke was Gu Shen.

Passing through the front hall, Gu Shen deliberately gathered the "Shenyin Cloak" on his body tightly, this time the big banyan tree in front of the Zongtang's gate will not wither and drop its leaves for no reason... He brought Shen Li and Mu Wanqiu to come He arrived at the fishing place where Mr. Gu and Zhou Wei were fishing. He had been to this place once, and last time he sat in the chair of Chairman Zhou Wei.

Seeing the fish basket full of fish, he felt much more relaxed.

It used to be a false sleep, but now it is real fishing.

It seems that after seeing himself, Mr. Gu's heart disease has been cured a lot.

"This is Mu Wanqiu, the captain of the first team of the Beizhou Investigation Corps, and this is Shen Li, the fourth judge of the prison."

Gu Shen briefly introduced the two old men, he and Gu Nanfeng met their eyes, and everything was said without saying anything.

"A rare guest."

Gu Qilin looked at Mu Wanqiu with raised eyebrows, and said, "The Beizhou Investigation Corps must be very busy, right?"

"Miss Mu and I are old acquaintances. When she found out that I was still alive, she asked for leave and went south to fight with me."

Gu Shen spoke up for Mu Wanqiu, and made a simple excuse.

Beizhou people are aggressive, and Nagano is also aggressive. Mr. Gu nodded with a smile, which is considered to be the case.

He had specifically read the S-level file, and the reason to find Gu Shen to fight was indeed something Mu Wanqiu would do.

The identity of the apostles of these two people is well concealed.

"Gu Shen," Zhou Wei said with a smile, "You just said... you won't make it to this point, what do you mean?"

He is not optimistic about the current tense situation in Wuzhou.

Zhou Wei was very worried that this incident would become a trigger.

If Nagano does not handle it properly, it is likely to lead to a war of gods.

Gu Shen knew what Chairman Zhou Wei was worried about.

He cut to the chase and said: "The black and silver cannonballs in [Ice Sea Ruins] were fired by me...I know the power of those cannonballs better than anyone else. The cloud ship fleet of the Tower of Light City Source has been completely destroyed. Even if they have It is impossible to repair the airship with the sky-high skills, as for the two titles, they must have been seriously injured."

With the submerged position of the initial number at that time, even if I was in my heyday, I would still need to fly for a full week if I stepped on [Truth]!
Whether the two seriously injured titles can survive is still a question.

"The black and silver shells were fired by you..."

Zhou Wei had a complicated expression, "So there really is [Ice Sea Ruins], what is there in that ruins?"

"The ruins have completely sunk."

Of course, Gu Shen would not reveal the existence of Afu. He avoided the key issue and wrote lightly: "It just so happens that I floated along the ocean current and near the ice sea ruins. After waking up, I encountered [Ice Sea Ruins] Exploration team. So I entered the ruins alone, and those vanguards sent by Wuzhou back then, I saved all those who should be saved. Those who should be killed... I also killed them all."

"I remember that Zhong Fan submitted a report..."

Zhou Wei murmured: "That mysterious person wearing the ghost mask is you?"

"Yes, it's me."

This secret is no longer a secret.

After Gu Shen killed Jia Wei, the senior members of the East Continent Council, who have read the report of [Ice Sea Ruins], will know all about it.

"and many more……"

Gu Qilin frowned and said, "You mean, the survivors are at most Yin Zhuo and Meritz?"

"Yes."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "I killed all those guys who entered the [Ruins]."

Yunhu, Xuangui, Julu, Longqi...

Not one left!
The information received by Nagano is limited, so they don't have to worry about extra titles surviving.

"Don't ignore the church's request for support, let the red dragon envoy lead a team to search in the waters of Nanzhou... There will be no results in the end."

Seeing Gu Qilin and Zhou Wei was still a little confused.

"Even if Yin Zhuo and Meritz are alive, they must have been seriously injured by the black silver shells. Even if they have the strength to escape to the waters of Yuanting Island, it is only at the end of their strength."

Gu Shen said softly: "They... can't survive."
