Chapter 189: 189 Third Knife
Translator: 549690339
Gu Yang followed an elder maid to the Lord of the State’s residence. Until others at the residence referred to her, he only then came to know that the maid beside him was Nurse Qi.
All along the way, she never uttered a word, and her attitude was very cold, behaving as if she wanted to keep others at a distance.
However, her age did not seem that big, probably only about thirty or forty.
After reaching the Divine Power Realm, the aging process would become extremely slow with a lifespan of 200 years. From her appearance, it was difficult to determine her real age.
Perhaps she was already one or two hundred years old.
As Gu Yang thought, he already reached the courtyard, seeing a group of powerhouses in the Divine Power Realm.
As soon as he walked past the moon gate, dozens of gazes were simultaneously cast over.
The power of their gazes, carrying substance, gave him tremendous pressure, many of them filled with malice.
He glanced around, most of them were unfamiliar faces, but there was one person he did recognize, Guo Taiping.
This guy was still here.
And his murderous intent was the thickest of all.
Gu Yang did not recognize any of the others present. Just as he was contemplating how to break the ice, Nurse Qi finally spoke, “Please, could Mister Wang point out the location of the Secret Realm for us?”
Wang Yuanzhuo was surprised and delighted at her words. “Does Nurse Qi have a way?”
This Nurse Qi was indeed famous in Divine City.
Years ago, when the queen was purging high-ranking officials from the court, some of the departmental officials were not easy to deal with as some of them were cultivators in the Divine Power Realm.
Whenever they encountered someone from the Divine Power Realm, it was Nurse Qi who took action, arresting them and throwing them into the heavenly prison.
It could be said that she was the sharpest knife under the queen’s control.
Of course, everyone in the Divine City now knows that there is also a mana realm powerhouse beside the queen.
Being in the same third-layer Golden Body realm, Wang Yuanzhuo’s attitude was quite courteous.
Nurse Qi said, “That would depend on Young Master Gu’s capabilities.”
In an instant, all eyes were once again on Gu Yang standing next to her. The gazes held doubt, scrutiny, fear, murderous intent …
As if recalling something, Wang Yuanzhuo said excitedly, “Could it be that you have mastered the third form of the ‘Heavenly Inquiry Nine Knives’?”
Upon hearing this, many of the people present looked at Gu Yang with even more hostility.
During the destruction of the Wu Family years ago, many of those present had personally participated, and they held a deep grudge for the extermination of the Wu Family. Hearing that Gu Yang had received Wu Shengtian’s legacy now, it was natural for them to fear him.
‘Heavenly Inquiry Nine Knives’ was not renowned, but the major powers all knew just how terrifying Wu Shengtian was in his prime.
After Wu Shengtian had fully mastered his Blade Dao, he challenged the truly world-class powerhouses of their time. He never made more than three strikes in each match.
If it were not for the intervention of the Celestial Being who killed him, the outcome of the war with the Wu Family would have been quite uncertain.
Gu Yang nodded and said, “I hope Mister Wang can shield me.”
On his journey here, he had already run a simulation once. Among the people present, he knew that only Wang Yuanzhuo was reliable.
Wang Yuanzhuo was astute and naturally understood that after Gu Yang’s relationship with the Wu Family had been revealed, some people present might intend to harm him. He said, “Alright.”
He stood beside Gu Yang, pointed towards the sky, and said, “If my calculations are correct, that spot should be the weakest point of the Secret Realm’s entrance.”
Gu Yang stared at the position pointed by Wang Yuanzhuo, gripped the Phoenix Feather Knife, and said through voice transmission, “Some accidents may occur later on, Mister Wang, please be careful.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying Blade Intent burst forth from him.
“Heavenly Inquiry Nine Knives”, the third form: Engulfing All Under Heaven!
Under the vastness of the universe, infinite and unending, how could one reach to the other side of space?
This strike from Gu Yang destroyed a void, breaking some prohibition hidden within the void.
The sky seemed as if it had been cut open by a corner, revealing another world beyond it.
“It worked!”
Everyone present, whether they harbored ill feelings toward Gu Yang or not, were excited.
This meant that there was hope for the people trapped in the Secret Realm.
Such a reversal of fortune!
When the scholar from the academy, along with the Lord of the State, both declared their helplessness, they felt that the chances of those trapped in the realm surviving were extremely slim.
To their surprise, a newly advanced Golden Body cultivator managed to slash open an entrance to the Secret Realm.
Even Guo Taiping, who held the deepest murderous intent towards Gu Yang, couldn’t help but feel a touch of gratitude.
It was indeed a narrow escape from death.
