The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 891 - 421: City of Sin, Hatred of the Black Supreme
Gu Jianlin coughed and spat out blood onto the sand.
"At this rate, we probably won’t be able to break into the Divine Ruins."
The Moon Princess calmly picked up a tissue to wipe the blood from his lips, then pressed a bottle of Life Medicine Liquid to his mouth, letting him drink it. Her voice was tranquil yet filled with concern: "Your physical and spiritual limits have already been reached. If not for the vigorous Life Force from the Divine Path, you’d probably be dead by now."
They were sitting in an off-road vehicle, its trunk filled with weapons and supplies.
Outside the car window, it was rare that there was no sandstorm, just a gentle rain with mist swirling around.
The ancient ruins loomed faintly in the mist, as though stepping from reality into legend.
"It doesn’t matter if I can’t hold on, as long as the avatar ahead can manage,"
Gu Jianlin leaned against the passenger seat, feeling the backlash within him, and whispered: "If I’m not mistaken, is Jiang Chunyang’s reinforcements on their way?"
The Moon Princess responded, "Yes. While you were fighting, I snuck into the communications tent and intercepted their intel. The reinforcement must be from the Jiang Family upper echelon, certainly Holy Land Level. Once Grandfather gets their support, it will be difficult for your ally to kill him."
"We’ve done such a thing, we must see it through to the end, leaving no survivors."
She said calmly: "Once someone like Grandfather survives and retaliates, no one can bear it."
Gu Jianlin looked at her profile, her eyes still calm like a transparent piece of ice. Despite saying such outrageous things about killing her grandfather, she showed no emotion.
The matter of the young lady was the same.
She was not a fool; it would be unreasonable not to see it now.
The rumors were indeed true.
Gu Jianlin had been cooperating with that Dark World’s young lady.
It’s like courting trouble with a tiger.
Ah, no, it’s more like with a dragon.
What exactly happened between the two is not yet to be spoken.
Just the fact that the bad woman had troubled her boy to this extent was enough to make her very unhappy.
The Moon Princess had already added that young lady to her blacklist, intending to deal with her someday.
Of course, she was also a sensible girl.
Gu Jianlin cared about the President, whose life was currently in danger.
So she would not lose her temper over this matter.
A clever woman knows how to manage her relationship with a man, which is a skill.
And the first lesson of this skill is sensibility.
"But you don’t seem worried,"
Gu Jianlin raised his eyes and glanced at her.
(Actually, killing one’s ancestor has always been something she wanted to do.)
(Previously, due to lack of strength.)
Now that the momentum was building, she naturally chose to go mad with him.
In some sense, the girl before him was emotionally and interest-wise, forever on his side, which is why he entrusted his main body to her.
The Moon Princess nodded slightly: "Because No.1 told me to protect you, and she’ll handle the rest."
Gu Jianlin was slightly stunned, as if she had guessed the identity of the mysterious No.1.
"I’m not completely sure, but I trust her."
The Moon Princess suddenly looked forward through the car window, her beautiful eyes squinting: "Look, we’ve arrived."
Gu Jianlin looked up and saw an inverted pyramid standing majestically in the mist. Just moments ago during the storm, it was invisible, yet now it appeared like a mirage.
At this moment, he felt a stirring sensation within.
He manifested the Qilin Wedge with a reverse grip, the cross scepter-like broken sword trembled, its blade glowing with dark golden mysterious patterns, faintly emanating a startling divinity, appearing to sense a certain resonance.
No doubt about it.
The Qilin Wedge is starting to react, indicating they are getting closer to the Divine Ruins.
Curiously, the closer they get to this desolate ruin, the fewer crises they encounter. Previously, there would occasionally be Ancient God Seed attacks, or mutant flora and fauna, and inclement weather.
Yet they encountered nothing along this journey.
The most eerie thing was, according to intel from the avatar, this ruin was filled with sculptures kneeling on the ground, seemingly repenting their sins, pierced by iron swords.
Due to the avatar’s haste, there wasn’t time to look closely.
Now, they too arrived here, sensing the pervasive eeriness.
Gu Jianlin barely managed to get out of the car, holding an umbrella as he walked into the depths of the desolate ruins, which must have been a city before, though abandon for unknown years, emitting an aura of desolation and silence.
Wilted ancient trees, collapsed palaces, squares resembling colosseums.
And fractured bronze pillars reaching endlessly upward.
Overwhelming majesty and grandeur, momentarily giving the impression the grand ancient city had come alive.
"City of Sin."
The Moon Princess looked up at the fractured bronze pillar, recognizing the Ancient God Clan’s script adorned on its surface.
Gu Jianlin vaguely made a strange association, realizing a peculiar thing: the original Balensa City on the first level of the Qilin Immortal Palace was essentially a prison for criminals.
