The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 769 - 370: Negotiation Between Order and Darkness
For a demigod of Skylark’s rank, letting out a howl is no different.
"Alright."
For some reason, Gu Jianlin felt like he was cramming his summer homework on the last day.
Things have been piling up recently, and it’s getting hard for him to breathe.
"The matter of promotion shouldn’t be too difficult for me. I control the Si Family, and even if I just pile up resources, I can still reach the Sixth Rank. The Spiritual Secret Medicine is inexhaustible and inexhaustible."
He looked up and asked, "What about the cultivation of the Two Supreme Laws?"
Skylark gazed into his eyes closely, as if seeing the silent young man from years ago: "You have your noble sister, what are you afraid of? Rest assured, as long as you advance to the Sixth Rank, I have ways to help you find the Holy Corpse and let you grasp the Primordial Return. As for your Heavenly Person Domain, it’s nothing but your childhood trauma."
She showed a look of pity and said gently: "Poor child, did that shadow from encountering the Ancient Supreme linger since you were so young?"
Gu Jianlin felt her expression and tone were a facade, as if teasing him.
Yet for a moment, he felt as if there was a gentle stream flowing in her eyes.
This wicked woman seemed to truly feel sorry for him.
Perhaps because their backgrounds were similar, both had unhappy childhoods.
In the end, after encountering the Ancient God Clan, their lives fell apart.
"Don’t worry, it’s just the Vermilion Bird Clan."
Skylark leaned over, breathing softly: "Next time, sister will handle it for you."
Gu Jianlin could clearly feel his face heating up, instinctively stepping aside.
He wasn’t used to being so close to people.
Even though they had already been more intimate, he still instinctively resisted.
"So the next plan is to stay in the Dark World?"
Gu Jianlin changed the subject, as this wicked woman only behaved seriously when discussing serious matters.
At least she wouldn’t tease him then.
"Of course, you need to quickly become stronger. Time is running out. I need to enter the Divine Ruins on the second layer of the Qilin Immortal Palace, where there are things useful to me. The Dark World has been eyeing the second layer for a long time, and they haven’t exerted their full power in the first layer," Skylark said jokingly.
"Divine Ruins?"
Gu Jianlin suddenly thought of the inverted tomb he saw last night in The Order of the Hidden’s files.
Skylark could see through his thoughts at a glance and nodded: "Yes, it is what you think. It’s the true tomb built by the Qilin Venerable for itself, a world belonging solely to it. This is why I chose you; in a way, it is your nest, and you have the best chance to clear it."
Gu Jianlin pondered, after the gate to the second layer of the Qilin Immortal Palace opens, vanguards from around the world will rush into the Ancient God Realm based on information compiled by the Cheaters, just in case.
Next comes the familiar clearing phase.
It’s probably similar to the first layer.
Except he still didn’t know what the second layer was like, other than that inverted gigantic tomb.
"We still have some time, come with me for a trip."
Skylark lazily stretched, her silhouette under the afternoon sun was so elegant and enchanting, her voluptuous figure exuding a blooming beauty, like a swaying mandala flower. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
When the wind blew, her fragrance akin to Lan She spread, like petals fluttering everywhere.
"What else to check?"
Gu Jianlin was slightly moved.
"Nothing to check, feeling pretty good, let’s find a store for a meal, then watch a movie with me."
Skylark glanced at him: "What, unwilling?"
Gu Jianlin was about to say something, when suddenly he saw her seductive and bewitching eyes.
In her deep beautiful eyes, there was a hint of threat.
Gu Jianlin sighed, for the sake of her helping him grow, let her be.
Besides, he felt he needed to relax a bit.
The sound of an ancient bell echoed through the city.
Skylark turned around with a slight feeling, her eyes indifferent: "Jiang Chunyang, that old ghost, finally made a move."
Gu Jianlin frowned and asked: "What?"
"Is this the awakening bell?"
Skylark said lightly: "If I’m not mistaken, after last night’s events, Jiang Chunyang will spare no effort to purge the traitors in the Dark World, trying to root out the moles in The Order of the Hidden. For an old miser on his deathbed like Jiang Chunyang, the one thing he can’t stand is betrayal, which makes him feel very insecure."
Gu Jianlin had a bad feeling: "What will he do?"
Trying to root out the moles in The Order of the Hidden seemed incredibly difficult in his view.
All along, he could only interrogate using the Soul Comforting Bell.
This was still a method his teacher had thought up for him.
"The awakening bell is a mythical weapon passed down from Buddhism, originally used for sinners to repent. Those who are baptized by the bell’s sound will have their mental will blurred, and they will involuntarily confess their sins."
Skylark snorted softly: "Jiang Chunyang probably intends to use this method to screen the moles in The Order of the Hidden. His rank is the highest in Ying Province, with him personally ringing the awakening bell, no one in the Dark World can resist his will. Of course, it’s ineffective for you and me, as it still belongs to the realm of the Spiritual Domain."
