Chapter 1615: Gu Zuns Strangeness (2/2)

“A bit interesting. Go on.” Li Qiye smiled and said.

“I’m not too sure either. All in all, it was very strange seeing him each time because it felt different. He seemed to be very weak as if someone had drained his energy. Or rather, it looked like someone has taken over his corpse. That’s all I can say.” Cuining didn’t know how to put it.

“There’s no way. If that’s not Gu Zun, Ye Jiuzhou would have found out already.” The monarch was skeptical.

“That’s the strangest part. Jiuzhou isn’t reacting at all as if everything is normal.” Cuining replied.

She then frowned and continued: “I think someone might be using Gu Zun to sneak into our city and take over. I’m concerned about an external collusion.”

This was the other reason why she wanted to stay. She aimed to find out the truth outside of just saving the ancestors.

“Girl, you don’t understand Gu Zun and Ye Jiuzhou. It doesn’t matter whether Jiuzhou is a good or bad man but there are two things he will never do. First, betray Gu Zun. Second, betray Heaven Suppression. Furthermore, there’s something you don’t get either. Gu Zun will never hand Heaven Suppression to outsiders. In his mind, it belongs to him. Of course, he can tolerate you being in charge because you are a legitimate heir. Ultimately, Lu Zhangsun, Ancestor Shan, and you are all part of the main branch, eligible for inheriting the city. So, if an outsider wants to take over Heaven Suppression, Gu Zun would be the first to strike back!”

With that, he laughed and said: “Gu Zun might be a b.a.s.t.a.r.d but he does uphold some principles on certain things. He’s not totally wretched, just yet.”

“Then what if Gu Zun’s body was truly taken over?” Cuining remained worried.

Li Qiye disagreed with this notion: “You still don’t know and underestimate him. The reality is that no one in this world could seize his body. Moreover, there’s no need to doubt Jiuzhou’s loyalty and devotion to Gu Zun. If anyone were to take over his master’s body, he would be the first to go all out against them!”

“Then what is actually going on?” Zi Cuining was puzzled. Gu Zun was different each time regarding his status and expression.

After all, a cultivator of Gu Zun’s level wouldn’t be so unstable with constant fluctuations. She was also certain that the person she saw wasn’t a fake.

“You’ll find out eventually.” Li Qiye revealed a mysterious smile: “Just keep watching the show. The answer will be revealed soon.”

Zi Cuining worriedly said: “What about the trapped ancestors?”

Though it seemed like an accident, she was certain that Gu Zun did it. It was just that she had no evidence to show.

Li Qiye opened his fate palace and took out a law. The law then turned into a key and he handed it to her: “Take it and open the Black Dragon Hall.”

“Really?” She said skeptically. Even their ancestors there couldn’t open it but an outsider like Li Qiye did? It was indeed difficult to believe.

“Go, since what have I lied to you?” Li Qiye said with a smile.

“I’m off then.” She took a deep breath and said solemnly.

“What if Ye Jiuzhou and Gu Zun take action?” The monarch found it worrying for Cuining to return to Heaven Suppression.

Li Qiye shook his head: “First, her position is legitimate so Gu Zun won’t kill her or he would have done so long ago. All he wants is your authority. Second, it’s different now. Capturing all of you was only testing the water but after this, everyone else will be insignificant, not worth him wasting his time. His most powerful, lifelong enemy has arrived!”

A thick smile appeared on Li Qiye’s face after saying this.

“Go, nothing will happen.” Li Qiye told Cuining: “Matriarch Yu will watch out for you too. Also, tell Ancestor Shan’s people to not get involved with this because once I start killing, I won’t necessarily care which branch they belong to.”

“I got it.” Cuining nodded while understanding that Li Qiye was aiming for Gu Zun. However, she didn’t understand when these two became enemies. No ancestors have mentioned it before so she became very curious about the underlying story. Alas, it wasn’t something she could ask.
