Chapter 334 - 268: Achieving Grandmaster (Part 4)
Gu Zhan slowly said, "Everything in the world, every drink and peck follows its own law. How could the Dragon King know my life would change, allowing the God of Slaughter Gu Zhan to exist today?"
Mo Jingzhou paused for a moment, then said, "That’s indeed true."
Gu Zhan nodded and asked, "What about handling the Linglun Mountain Range?"
"Sword King City will take responsibility," Mo Jingzhou replied. "They’ll organize the major Martial World forces to establish trade routes here, which isn’t something we need to worry about. I’m more concerned about your performance today, it was too eye-catching, and you might have become a thorn in many people’s sides."
Mo Jingzhou sighed and said, "Within the Demon Dao, the Moon Worship Sect and Ghost King Sect will definitely try every means to seek revenge. You’ve severely offended these two sects."
Gu Zhan squinted slightly and said, "Rather than worry about the Demon Dao hiding in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you should consider the upcoming Yunxi situation. Often, the greatest enemies aren’t outside but within. Those eyeing me aren’t limited to the Demon Dao. Next, Yunxi will have a period of calm until the Cyan Gorge Covenant is fully implemented..."
Mo Jingzhou’s expression turned somewhat grave.
He naturally understood that the current harmony in the Righteous Dao was due to the need to unite against the pit created by Yang Yuzhi with the Cyan Gorge Covenant. Once the covenant is settled, without its restraint, the Righteous Dao’s grudges will definitely erupt. As soon as someone ignites the flames of war, Yunxi will experience a reshuffle.
At this moment, Gu Zhan suddenly asked, "After dealing with the Cyan Gorge Covenant, shall I first eliminate the Danyang Sect?"
Mo Jingzhou: "??"
So you’re the one most eager to be first?
Gu Zhan smiled slightly, took out a bead obtained from the body of a tiger, and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"
At this time, the bead had already undergone some changes,
previously full of luster, now the luster had faded, appearing like a Glazed Bead, yet inside still filled with a kind of violent energy.
Mo Jingzhou took the bead, looked at it, and asked, "Did you kill some powerful beast to obtain this?"
Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "Seems you recognize it, I got it from killing the Moon Worship Sect’s Saint Heir Tian Ze’s mount."
Mo Jingzhou returned the bead to Gu Zhan and said, "So it was that tiger, then no wonder. That tiger was very spiritual, it targeted Tian Ze’s immense fortune at his birth and voluntarily became his mount. Following Tian Ze for years, it greatly benefited, and its vitality rivaled that of a Grandmaster."
"Fortune?"
Gu Zhan slightly frowned. This was the second time he heard the term today. Previously, he also heard it when Nangong Weiyang and others teased the Medicine King Valley’s Young Valley Master Jin Yuanbao.
"Indeed, fortune," Mo Jingzhou said. "It’s an enigmatic concept, hard to explain. A simple understanding would call it luck, but that’s a superficial interpretation.
Everyone has a measure of fortune, but most are ordinary and simply live out their lives. The powerful stand out to become the focus of all, while the weak may die young or suffer a lifetime of misfortune. This is a rough understanding of fortune.
For the young Tian Ze to become the Demon Dao’s foremost prodigy, he must be shrouded in great fortune. Thus, the tiger sought him as its master, benefiting greatly from association, as the saying goes, when one ascends to the Dao, their fowl and dogs ascend to heaven."
Gu Zhan nodded and asked, "What does this have to do with the bead?"
Mo Jingzhou said, "Because the tiger benefited from being near Tian Ze, it gained advantages beyond ordinary beasts, and could be considered an essence or spirit, a demon!"
"Demon?"
Gu Zhan was shocked!
