Chapter 381 - 278: Recruiting Nangong Weiyang and Sword One (Part 3)
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly, "I find it quite strange that they have put me on the Grandmaster List."
Mo Jingzhou said, "The Wind Media Conference is actually manipulated by our Five Great Sects from behind. Now that I’m dying, Beidou Bang needs a new leader with enough prestige. Your strength is sufficient, but your reputation still falls far short compared to the older generation,
This has little to do with your strength, it’s mainly about influence. After all, you are too young and have just emerged in the Martial World, with only a brief moment in the spotlight. So, I deliberately arranged for you to be on the list, having the title of a Grandmaster can quickly make up for your lack of influence."
Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow, "Wouldn’t it be true that the ongoing debate about who is stronger between me and Sword One is also pushed by you from behind?"
Mo Jingzhou nodded and smiled, "Yes, under normal circumstances, when the Martial World talks about Sword One they must talk about Qi Baiyu, and talk about Qi Baiyu they must talk about Sword One. These two people are already subconsciously recognized by many as driving parallel in the Sword Dao.
However, Qi Baiyu has disappeared for too long, and during this time many things happened in the Martial World and you happened to become famous in one battle. I stirred the waves from behind, of course, those Wind Media played a significant role, having this reputation is not easy to say outwardly, but internally, it stabilizes the troops, minimizing the disruption caused by my death."
Gu Zhan nodded, "You’ve gone to a lot of trouble."
Mo Jingzhou shook his head, "It’ll be your trouble from now on."
Inside the carriage, after a moment of silence,
Mo Jingzhou said, "Gu Zhan, the Yunxi Martial World, or rather the entire Yunzhou Martial World, has entered a new era. Sword One becoming a Fallen Demon is just the beginning. You must be prepared.
The abolishment of the Cyan Gorge Covenant is a signal, a signal of the reshuffling of the Yunzhou Martial World structure, and the death of Chen Xuannong, whether or not really driven by the Demon Dao or for some other reason, means that the reshuffling has begun, the first card to be shuffled is the Qianyu Sect.
Sword One becoming a Fallen Demon adds insult to injury to the Qianyu Sect, which has already lost its Supreme Grandmaster, with too many elite disciples and top ranks falling, the Qianyu Sect’s Primordial Qi has suffered greatly, and the coming days will surely be hard, and the turmoil of the Qianyu Sect means that the Jingnan Dao Martial World will be turbulent, which will soon affect the entire Yunxi.
This curtain has already been drawn by Sword One. I know you are not one to settle for maintaining the status quo, so if you want to be the winner in this reshuffling, you must take the initiative, do what you want, don’t hesitate."
Mo Jingzhou looked up at Gu Zhan and said flatly, "I have nothing to teach you. Remember only this, if you are to be a hero, then perform the tasks of a hero, you must remember, whether your means are upright or not is not important, the result is what matters, only the victor can write history, if you win, then you are righteous, you are the Righteous Dao!"
Gu Zhan squinted his eyes.
Mo Jingzhou slowly struggled to sit up and leaned close to Gu Zhan’s ear, whispering, "Gu Zhan, remember, as long as you believe your strength is enough, even collaborating with the Demon Dao, dealing with a tiger in its lair, why not? The Demon Dao can also become the Righteous Dao one day!"
Gu Zhan nodded, "I’ve been taught."
Mo Jingzhou slowly lay back down, barely closing his eyes, "I’m a bit tired. I’ll take a nap; you go ahead and do what you need to!"
Gu Zhan watched as Mo Jingzhou slowly fell asleep, turned around, and got off the carriage, quickly arriving at another carriage in the middle of the convoy.
There were many carriages returning from Beidou Bang,
A lot of injured higher-ups needed to return as soon as possible, and the reason they didn’t stay at Beidou Bang to recover was that this journey back marked the succession of a new Gang Leader, these higher-ups did not want to miss it.
Two reasons,
One is that the Gang Leader replacement must be stabilized quickly,
The second reason is personal ambition. With the new Gang Leader taking over, how could they miss this opportunity to show themselves, to express loyalty to the new Gang Leader, if missed, how will they hold high positions in the future?
However,
The people in the carriage that Gu Zhan boarded now were not high-ups of Beidou Bang but Nangong Weiyang and Sword One.
Everyone thought Sword One had fled Great Desert City with Nangong Weiyang; in fact, it was just a guise by Gu Zhan. Sword One and Nangong Weiyang had been in Great Desert City all along, due to the reason that under the lamps, darkness is less visible, they escaped the widespread pursuit from the whole Martial World.
At this time, the two people in the carriage were in bad condition,
Sword One’s hair was scattered, his aura resembled a hellish ghost, his eyes always shrouded in wisps of black mist, completely devoid of any human emotion, only a cold and deep darkness like an abyss, making one shudder!
His once handsome face now looked very sinister, with things like worms constantly wriggling under his skin, his gaze at Gu Zhan devoid of humanity, filled with brutality, as if ready to kill at any moment.
However, he remained quietly seated, not making any moves, because his hand was always held by Nangong Weiyang.
And Nangong Weiyang’s condition was not good either, but unlike Sword One, she still had her reason, she was just severely injured, her legs broken, looking somewhat desolate.
"Brother Gu, you’ve come," Nangong Weiyang saw Gu Zhan and her eyes showed signs of gratitude.
"We’ve left the city!" Gu Zhan cupped his hands, "I haven’t been able to see you these past few days because of my identity, worrying that someone might suspect something."
"I understand." Nangong Weiyang said, "Brother Gu is truly righteous, now that both Sword One and I are public enemies of the Martial World, to have Brother Gu still willing to risk being an adversary to the entire Martial World to save the two of us, Nangong... really doesn’t know how to repay you. In the future, if there’s even a chance to repay even a fraction of this kindness, Brother Gu could command it!"
