Chapter 123: 123 let me stab twice
Translator: 549690339
[At age twenty-two, you’ve reached the First Rank cultivation level. In Juyang City, you’ve defeated Yi Yi, the number one on the Heavenly Pride List, making your name ring throughout the world.]
[After you arrived in Jingzhou City, you were invited to King Jin’s mansion. You discovered several assassins had sneaked into the mansion intending to assassinate the crown prince. You drew your sword to help, but you were overpowered and seriously injured. Fortunately, an expert from the city arrived in time, and you managed to stay alive, but Queen and the Crown Prince of Jingzhou were killed on the spot.]
[After recovering from your injuries, you received a letter from King Jin.]
[Five years later, at your suggestion, King Jing staged a fake death and gave the throne to Wu Xingyun. However, one of his generals was not satisfied and led a rebellion. King Jing revealed himself, capturing all the rebels at once.]
[Four years later, Xi Tianyi, ranked second on the First Rank List, challenged King Jing. In the fierce battle, both of them stepped into the Divine Power Realm. Suddenly, a mysterious individual from the Mana Realm appeared, intending to kill both. But a sword flew from the sky and drove him away.]
[Nine years later, Ling Ling, under the protection of King Jing, successfully stepped into the Divine Power Realm.]
[The same year, Qin Wu declared a war on Zhou. Four Celestial Beings fought, breaking the space passage, leading to a massive invasion by the Star Luo Sect.]
[You, Ling Ling, and others, went into hiding in a secret realm in Tianzhu Mountain. Together, you killed a Divine Power Realm cultivator who had claimed that secret realm for himself. Afterwards, you cultivated in that secret realm.]
[Eight years later, Su Qingzhen successfully reached the Divine Power Realm.]
[Five years later, a grand battle broke out in the outside world. The entrance to the secret realm was destroyed, and the secret realm was exposed to the world. Protected by Ling Ling and Su Qingzhen, you escaped from there.]
[You learnt that several years ago, another ancient prohibition was broken, revealing a passage to a separate world. Wanxiang Gate reappeared in the world, competing with Star Luo Sect for control over this part of the world.]
[You were quickly discovered by disciples of Wanxiang Gate and chased by a cultivator of the Mana Realm. A few months later, with nowhere to flee, you were killed on the Eastern Sea Coast. You died at the age of fifty-three.]
When Gu Yang read the first few lines, he felt a sense of relief. Although this journey was fraught with dangers, at least he survived.
Latterly he received King Jing’s trust and favor, which proved the venture worthwhile.
The story continued to develop as expected after that.
Until…
What the heck is the Wanxiang Gate?
Gu Yang was truly distressed for this world. The Star Luo Sect had already caused enough calamity, and in just a few years, the Wanxiang Gate surfaced. Could this land withstand such heavy blows?
This Wanxiang Gate didn’t seem to be a positive force, hunting martial artists from this world without hesitation.
They wouldn’t even let anyone escape.
Gu Yang felt that his path to immortality was just too difficult. In just thirty years, so many dangerous enemies had appeared, leaving him no place to hide.
[Simulation ends, you can keep one of the following:]
[One, your martial arts realm at the age of fifty-three.]
[Two, your martial arts experience at the age of fifty-three.]
[Three, your life wisdom at the age of fifty-three.]
Gu Yang hesitated for a few seconds and then decided to choose the first option. The progress made in thirty-one years should be significant enough to greatly boost his strength.
The servant leading the way suddenly had a sinking feeling, swiftly turning around to see Gu Yang’s True Essence erupting with terrifying pressure. The servant almost knelt from the intensity.
Just then, a loud rumble echoed from the mansion, and two strong presences clashed.
The servant froze momentarily before his face turned to fear. He screamed, “Attack—”
He left Gu Yang quickly, scrambling away to alert others.
A woman’s voice suddenly sounded from the side, “Are you Gu Yang?”
Gu Yang circulated his surging True Essence, which had increased by thirty percent more than the last time.
He turned to see a tall woman standing on the wall. She was holding a pair of short blades and looked quite young.
The woman on the wall looked down at him with a slight smile, “They say you’re a once-in-a-lifetime genius. Let’s see how many of my blades you can block.”
Feeling a sense of danger emanating from her, Gu Yang asked her grimly, “Who are you?”
The woman said, “Remember this, my name is Feng Xiaoxiao.”
Gu Yang thought for a moment. Her name was not on any list.
At this time, an intense battle broke out again within the mansion’s inner courtyard.
