771 The First Appearance of the Legacy (1/2)
Gu Jingman's aura was not fanciful, but it was tempting in its reservedness. At this moment, she was extremely seductive. Even the flowers in the garden all lowered their faces. She was like their master receiving their adulation.
Wang Yinru was extremely shocked. It was the first time she had encountered such a terrifying aura. She could not describe what level the warrior was at to be able to give off such remarkable power. If not for the reservedness of Gu Jingman's aura, Wang Yinru might have even suspected that her own aura could be pulverized immediately. \”It is like the power of the heavens!\” Wang Yinru thought. Not even warriors in the Golden Elixir Realm would have such a terrifying aura.
The aura slowly drew back until it disappeared completely. It was as if it had never appeared.
\”How…how did you do that?\” Wang Yinru released the breath she had been holding. Shock filled her eyes. Gu Jingman's aura alone had caused her to lose her mobility. It was astonishing.
\”Elder Sister Yinru, thanks to Mo Wen, I am now different from before. In the future, it won't be just you who can help him. I will be able to as well.\”
Gu Jingman's smile was very attractive. In the past, Wang Yinru had stayed in the Dafang Sect to help Mo Wen manage a large sect but Gu Jingman had only been able to go home; she was not much of a help. She had naturally been very disappointed but now could do what Wang Yinru could. In fact, she could do more.
\”Younger Sister, your appearance has scared me.\” Wang Yinru laughed bitterly. She could vaguely guess that the huge change in Gu Jingwen had something to do with Mo Wen. However, Mo Wen probably didn't have such an ability. How could he have helped Gu Jingman reach such levels?
\”Elder Sister, please do not worry. If the Crimson Star Sect dares to create trouble for Dafang Sect, I will definitely deal with them.\” Gu Jingman smiled, but her facial expression remained cold. A glint of red shone in her eyes and a devilish aura that was hard to describe permeated the entire back garden.
Wang Yinru looked at Gu Jingman oddly. Gu Jingman had unexpectedly reappeared and had clearly undergone too large of a change. Not only had her cultivation levels changed drastically, but her disposition, character, and even her appearance had changed. Gu Jingman might still look like Gu Jingman and nothing much seemed to have changed externally. However, her appearance had grown more charming and beautiful. She exuded an indescribable beauty.
Gu Jingman was already a rare beauty and was second to none in the secular world. However, in the martial arts world, she did not stand out. After all, there were many fairy-looking swordswomen there. Some of them were much more famous than Gu Jingman.
But now, Wang Yinru could be sure that Gu Jingman was a goddess of their time. Even she seemed dull standing next to Gu Jingman.
It was the change in her disposition that seemed to have brought an earth-shaking change in Gu Jingman. How could an ordinary woman have such a disposition?
\”Could you tell me what happened to you?\” Wang Yinru asked curiously. She could not understand what circumstances would change a mortal into a goddess. They were both women, and she knew that such a change in a woman was very enviable.
Gu Jingman shook her head. \”This matter is related to some confidential issues. I cannot speak of it. Please forgive me for this, Elder Sister.\” Mo Wen had instructed her over and over again to not tell anyone about it, not even her family. She did not dare take Mo Wen's words lightly. She could also sense how startling the changes in herself over the past few days were. She knew that this must not become common knowledge.
In just two short months, the changes in her body had already reached this stage. She did not know what realm her powers were in, but this was just the beginning. Ever since she accepted the legacy of the Blood God, Gu Jingman realized that she was changing all the time. Her power rose crazily on a daily basis. She did not need to cultivate much and she could already sense her cultivation levels raising.
Furthermore, it was not just her cultivation levels that were changing. Her appearance and disposition were changing as well. She naturally exuded an aura that induced fear and respect. The maid that grew up with her and was like a friend to her usually did not screen her words. But now, she grew more and more careful with her words and actions around Gu Jingman. She spoke to her respectfully and was always careful to toe the line.
Gu Jingman noticed the change and asked the maid not to be so ill-at-ease. But the invisible power could permeate one's soul and could not be blocked. One would behave like this subconsciously around her.
She did not know what the Blood God's legacy was and what further changes would happen to her in the future. She only knew that the Blood God's legacy that flowed through her veins was related to the Blood Kindred in the Western world. It was an utmost highest legacy of the Blood Kindred. It was something that the Blood Kindred must not find out about, or it would lead to great trouble.
Wang Yinru could not do anything to force Gu Jingman to speak about it. She arranged for Gu Jingman to stay in the Dafang Sect. With a powerful person like Gu Jingman here to help, she was now much more relaxed. At least she did not need to worry about the Crimson Star Sect's threat.
On the second day, a messenger came to Dafang Sect.
\”What instructions does the supreme sect leader have?\” Wang Yinru asked lightly as she looked at the kneeling messenger in the great hall.
\”The supreme sect leader ordered us to wait. He will settle the matters regarding the Crimson Star Sect.\”
The messenger's eyes were filled with confusion. The sect leader was just one person. How would he deal with the Crimson Star Sect? Could the rumors be true? Could it really be the case that the sect leader would be forced to beg for forgiveness from the Crimson Star Sect?
Wang Yinru nodded when she heard his words. \”You can go.\”
After the messenger left, a charming young woman emerged from behind the screen. She asked in confusion, \”What does Mo Wen mean? Is he going to destroy the Crimson Star Sect alone?\”
