Chapter 429 - 288: From Now On, Yunxi—A Yunxi for One
Though it earned him the title of God of Slaughter,
it also nearly ensured that after every battle, his body would be covered in wounds, limiting him significantly during combat.
He had previously trained in several forms of Horizontal Martial Arts Training, but none could keep pace with his advancement, leading to rapid abandonment.
Now, he hoped that this Celestial Spirit Golden Body wouldn’t be discarded so swiftly!
After Gu Zhan received the Secret Manual of the Celestial Spirit Golden Body, the system immediately recorded it successfully.
Gu Zhan didn’t hesitate and chose to add experience points right away:
[Use 10 million Experience Points]
[Celestial Spirit Golden Body upgraded to Entry Level]
[Use 30 million...]
...
[Use 50 million Experience Points]
[Celestial Spirit Golden Body upgraded to Great Success Level]
...
In just a fleeting moment,
Gu Zhan had cultivated the Celestial Spirit Golden Body directly to the Peak of Perfection Realm.
All in all, 90 million Experience Points were consumed,
it didn’t cause any disturbance, merely an instant, even Nangong Weiyang sitting opposite Gu Zhan didn’t notice anything amiss.
"Well done,"
Gu Zhan looked at Nangong Weiyang and said, "Take a good rest, today is just the beginning, there’s still a long period of tough battles ahead."
Nangong Weiyang hesitated for a moment, but still cupped his hands and said, "Lord, your subordinate has something to say."
"Speak freely." Gu Zhan said.
Nangong Weiyang pondered for a while and said, "Lord, yesterday’s battle was somewhat unexpected with Sword King City’s appearance, and you even killed Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Ghost God, those two Supreme Grandmasters. Our factions’ conflicts have become irreconcilable.
This matter was completely outside our plan, Sword King City won’t let it rest lightly, and both Sword One and I have been exposed. Given Sword King City’s status in the Martial World, they will surely rally the entire Yunxi Martial World against us.
Regardless of our exposure, the deaths of Yuan Zhixiang and Nie Ghost God, or even your many slayings yesterday, they all serve as reasons for them to besiege us. Our situation will likely be perilous, being branded as enemies of the Martial World wouldn’t be an exaggeration."
Gu Zhan drank a mouthful of porridge and said, "I understand what you’re saying, but then what?"
Nangong Weiyang said sternly, "This time, we might face the oppression of all of Yunxi, however, given your divine prowess, our Beidou Bang won’t be without resistance.
Yet if we continue to advance against Lu Yuan Dao now, it’s likely inappropriate. Although no one in Lu Yuan Dao can halt our Beidou Bang’s progress, Lu Yuan Dao is vast after all, attacking and advancing will scatter our forces, lacking home-field advantage, without leaning on the Nu River Grand Canyon, it is disadvantageous, easily allowing Sword King City to separate and defeat us, potentially resulting in total failure.
Therefore, your subordinate suggests changing the plan, immediate withdrawal to Canglan Dao for comprehensive preparations for the upcoming war, and also calming internal worries, otherwise, the Martial World Order from Sword King City might cause chaos within our Beidou Bang."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, but there’s no need to worry so much. Since this battle is inevitable, we have no reason to retreat, let’s fight right here in Lu Yuan Dao, so as not to mess up Canglan Dao."
Nangong Weiyang frowned and said, "Lord, this..."
Gu Zhan chuckled slightly and said, "You just need to do your job. This time, you’ll be the commander taking Lu Yuan Dao, just focus on overseeing the overall situation and think about how to swiftly incorporate Lu Yuan Dao for me, leave the external pressures to me."
Nangong Weiyang cupped his hands and said, "What does the Lord plan to do?"
Gu Zhan slowly stood up and said, "Retreating is definitely not an option, I have newly assumed command of Beidou Bang, and coincidentally need a solid battle for the world to remember my name."
As he spoke, Gu Zhan slightly lifted his gaze towards the outside, where snowflakes fluttered and danced, Gu Zhan slowly said, "Too many voices in Yunxi, I don’t like that, so...
from now on in Yunxi, there’ll be only my voice!"
