Chapter 378 - 277: Perfect Demon Seed (Part 4)
"Isn’t this enough?" Mo Jingzhou said, "Maybe it’s because I’m close to death, I’m seeing things more clearly, and many things I’d never have believed before seem feasible now.
Although logically speaking, you can’t save them, but I feel it’s you, so this rain, you made it, didn’t you?"
Gu Zhan nodded.
Mo Jingzhou sighed and said, "It really makes one envious, what kind of environment gave you such talent? Though I don’t know where you learned the Rain Summoning Divine Technique, it must not have been long, yet you were able to cultivate to such a realm, ’extraordinary’ doesn’t begin to describe it."
Gu Zhan took a sip of tea and said, "You’re about to be buried, stop thinking about these things."
"There’s always some reluctance in my heart," Mo Jingzhou said, "In the future, if you ever find the Grotto Heaven Technique, be sure to come to my grave and tell me."
"I will," Gu Zhan nodded.
Mo Jingzhou picked up the teapot and poured Gu Zhan another cup of tea, slowly saying, "Specifically, I won’t ask, but regarding today’s matters, I have some suggestions. You should refrain from using your Rain Summoning Divine Technique for the time being."
"Why?" Gu Zhan asked in confusion, "Afraid of being noticed?"
"It doesn’t matter if others notice," Mo Jingzhou said, "But you must beware of Sword King City. Although I don’t know what Wei Wuya, that old bastard, is scheming, you cannot let him know about your rescue of Sword One. At least, not until you’re confident in dealing with Sword King City can you expose this."
Gu Zhan frowned and said, "What do you mean by that? What’s Wei Wuya plotting?"
Mo Jingzhou shook his head and said, "I don’t know, but I can confirm, the matter of Sword One becoming a Fallen Demon is definitely not as simple as it appears."
"Do you know something?" Gu Zhan inquired.
"I know nothing," Mo Jingzhou said, "Just relying on my intuition, Sword One, such a monstrously talented prodigy, shouldn’t fall into the demon path in Sword King City. Moreover, I don’t believe Wei Wuya would make such a mistake.
The whole world thinks Wei Wuya is the leader of the Martial Arts world, living a just and honorable life, with his biggest flaw being a penchant for meddling. I believed that too, the whole Martial World believed it.
But over thirty years ago, when Yang Yuzhi left Yunxi, he repeatedly reminded me to be cautious of Wei Wuya. Yang Yuzhi evaluated him as seemingly simple and kind, yet in reality, mad and heartless, unfathomable.
For someone to be described by Yang Yuzhi in such a way, there’s no way he would make such a big mistake regarding Sword One, a successor. So, I strongly suspect Wei Wuya is plotting something on Sword One, and your sudden intervention to save Sword One will definitely disrupt his plan. He surely won’t let it go easily.
And using the Rain Summoning Divine Technique left a trace. If you use it again, he’ll definitely deduce that the person who saved Sword One today was you. Then, what measures Sword King City will take is hard to say. Moreover, though you have interacted with Wei Wuya superficially, never underestimate him. This person has never truly exerted himself fully in his entire life—no one knows how strong he truly is."
Gu Zhan frowned slightly and said, "Don’t worry, I will be mindful."
Of course, Gu Zhan was saying this to comfort Mo Jingzhou.
Has Gu Zhan ever hesitated to kill?
Mo Jingzhou chuckled lightly and said, "Are you planning to recruit Sword One and Nangong Weiyang?"
"Indeed," Gu Zhan nodded.
"You’re bold enough to recruit them?" Mo Jingzhou said, "The fallen demon Sword One is bound to become one of the top forces in the world in the future, and Nangong Weiyang, while not as strong as Sword One in Martial Arts, her command ability is absolutely top-notch in the world. If they join forces, aren’t you worried about inviting trouble?"
Gu Zhan chuckled slightly and said, "Even if all the world’s strong gather under me, what of it? If they’re useless, I, Gu Zhan, disdain to recruit them, only fierce tigers are fit to walk alongside me!"
Mo Jingzhou sighed lightly and said, "This is where I can’t compare to you. No matter who the other party is, no matter how exceptionally talented they are, you have confidence you can suppress them. You dare recruit them under your command; with this boldness, you, Gu Zhan, can be deemed a heroic figure!"
