314: Mr. San's friend, Gu Jiujun

"Are you from Thatched Cottage?"

After pouring the tea, the middle-aged man, as the host, was the first to speak, asking Chu Yun.

"Yes," Chu Yun replied softly, his gaze still somewhat solemn.

The middle-aged man smiled, "There's no need to be so serious."

"If I intended to kill you, I wouldn't have invited you for tea."

"Here, tea is always for guests."

Hearing the middle-aged man say this, Chu Yun's solemnity lessened slightly. He gently rotated his teacup and looked at the middle-aged man, "May I ask which Your Excellency from the Evil Infant Realm you are?"

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, then chuckled and shook his head, "I'm no one in particular, just an old fellow who has lived a bit longer."

"Chu Yun, you said you are from Thatched Cottage. Then do you know that your Thatched Cottage has someone who enjoys playing chess and likes to wear blue robes?"

Chu Yun was puzzled. After a moment of thought, he replied, "Of course, I know."

"If I'm not mistaken, the person you're referring to is my Third Senior Brother."

The middle-aged man was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "So, he's indeed a Junior Brother of an old acquaintance. No wonder."

"To be able to push the current Evil Infant Realm to such a state."

There was no hint of Life Qi in the middle-aged man's tone, only admiration.

Chu Yun's eyes showed some surprise, "Your Excellency is a friend of my Third Senior Brother?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Rather than a friend, it's more accurate to say he once showed me kindness; he's my benefactor."

"Since you are his Junior Brother, I naturally cannot let you come here for nothing."

"Take this. From now on, you will be the lord of the Evil Infant Realm."

"You can command all the experts of the Evil Infant Realm to serve you."

The middle-aged man was straightforward, directly tossing a unique token with the words 'Evil Infant' on it to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun took the token and examined it carefully, noticing that the unique ancient patterns on it carried the will and aura of the Evil Infant Ancestor, a power that Evil Infant beings could not resist.

"Could this be the legendary lord of the realm of the Evil Infant Realm?"

Chu Yun couldn't help but recall the lord of the realm created by the Evil Infant Ancestor in history.

Whoever held that lord of the realm was the lord of the realm of the Evil Infant Realm.

Seeing the lord of the realm was like seeing the Evil Infant Ancestor.

The middle-aged man's expression was calm, and he did not deny it, "Good insight, this is the lord of the realm."

"With it, you will be the new Lord of Xieying."

"I know you have the Netherworld Divine Eyes, but compared to this lord of the realm, the Netherworld Divine Eyes still cannot achieve victory without bloodshed."

"Furthermore, with this token, you don't have to worry about anyone resisting or causing trouble. The lord of the realm was personally forged by the Ancestor, and no one would dare to defy it."

After hearing this, Chu Yun's wariness towards the middle-aged man also diminished somewhat.

The fact that he could hand over the lord of the realm to him directly indicated that this person's identity was absolutely not simple.

"May I ask Your Excellency's name?"

"So that when I return to Thatched Cottage in the future, I can mention it to Third Senior Brother," Chu Yun said, looking at him.

"My name is Gu Jiujun."

Upon hearing the name Gu Jiujun, Heavenly Demoness and Chu Yun carefully searched their memories of historical figures in the Evil Infant Realm, wondering if such a person existed.

It should be known that while the Evil Infant Realm is one of the top-tier powers in the current era, when it comes to long-standing Legacy, the Evil Infant Realm is undoubtedly the first.

The Evil Infant Realm's existence even predated the reclusive Xuanyuan Ancient Clan by a significant margin.

Throughout its history, many astonishing and brilliant figures emerged.

For example, there have already been seven Lord of Xieying.

Chu Yun meticulously recalled all the Lord of Xieying in his mind, but none of them bore the name Gu Jiujun.

However, when he recalled the Evil Infant Ancestor, a flash of inspiration struck him, and the name finally aligned with a figure.

"Gu Jiujun... I didn't expect Senior to be the second Disciple of the Evil Infant Ancestor. This is truly surprising," Chu Yun said with a faint smile.

Heavenly Demoness's expression changed. This person was actually the second Disciple of the Evil Infant Ancestor!

Wouldn't that mean he was a figure from... several eras ago?!

Chu Yun remembered that the Evil Infant Ancestor had only ever taken two Disciples.

Among these two, the second Disciple, Gu Jiujun, possessed stronger talent and power than the first Disciple and was the Evil Infant Ancestor's tacit successor.

But alas, regret always permeates the life of any being.

Even the Evil Infant Ancestor was no exception.

His carefully cultivated and highly anticipated second Disciple, Gu Jiujun, had, in those years, fallen in love with a deceased Human Race woman.

He spent his days holding a corpse and talking to himself, neglecting his Cultivate and no longer caring about the affairs of the Evil Infant Realm.

This act angered the Evil Infant Ancestor, who personally intervened to destroy the female corpse and thoroughly correct Gu Jiujun's thoughts.

It was because of this that Gu Jiujun fought desperately, defying his most respected Revered Master, and engaged in a fierce battle with him.

And according to legend, Gu Jiujun's actions completely disappointed the Evil Infant Ancestor, who personally killed this Rebellious Disciple.

Afterward, when the Evil Infant Ancestor passed away, the first Lord of Xieying of the Evil Infant Realm was assumed by Gu Jiujun's Senior Brother.

And so, the Evil Infant Realm was passed down from generation to generation.

When Gu Jiujun saw that Chu Yun could actually deduce his identity just from his name, he was also a bit surprised.

After all, his affairs had happened several eras ago.

Even some elders within the Evil Infant Realm probably no longer had any impression of the name Gu Jiujun.

"Matters of the past are too long ago."

"There's no need to dwell on them. Now, I'm just an ordinary person living a quiet life."

"Alright, you two go."

"The Evil Infant Realm will be handed over to you from now on," Gu Jiujun finished his tea, then stood up and walked towards his room.

"Senior Gu, I have one more thing I'd like to ask for your help with," Chu Yun called out to him at this moment.

"What is it?"

Gu Jiujun turned around again and asked.

Chu Yun took out the Human Emperor Banner and released the Buddhist Bell that was trapped inside. The bell landed in the courtyard, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Chu Yun!"

"Don't even dream about it!"

"This Buddhist Bell is condensed from Immortal Martial Qi. You can't open it!"

"Why not talk terms with me properly?"

"You let me go, and I guarantee that from now on, I won't cause you any trouble, and I'll even owe you a favor!"

"That's much more cost-effective than you constantly wearing me down like this!"

As soon as the Buddhist Bell appeared, Evil Emperor Gu Changge inside sensed the commotion and immediately called out to Chu Yun.

He wanted to negotiate terms with Chu Yun.

Chu Yun ignored him at this moment.

He might be able to break open this bell with the Devouring Heaven Demon Pearl, but it would also easily kill Gu Changge inside.

He always felt that Gu Changge was hiding some secrets, so Chu Yun wanted to keep him alive.

"Senior Gu, I need the person inside this Buddhist Bell."

"Might Senior be able to make a move and break open this Buddhist Bell?" Chu Yun directly asked Gu Jiujun at this time.

Gu Jiujun glanced at the Buddhist Bell and immediately discovered that what was Sealed inside was an Evil Infant of the Limitless Realm.

He didn't say much, pointed with two fingers, and then raised his hand.

The Buddhist Bell miraculously ascended into the sky at this moment, and Evil Emperor Gu Changge, who was hiding inside, appeared in the courtyard with a bewildered expression.

"You..."

Gu Changge didn't have time to say anything before Chu Yun made his move first. A Time-Space Law enveloped Gu Changge's entire body, forming Law shackles that bound him.

"Thank you, Senior," Chu Yun said, cupping his fists in gratitude towards Gu Jiujun after binding Gu Changge.

Gu Jiujun said nothing, turned, and walked into his room.

"Fengling, take him. Let's leave here first."

"Don't disturb Senior Gu," Chu Yun said to Qin Fengling.

"Yes, Godfather."

"Let's go!"

Qin Fengling walked over, summoned a demonic shadow to grab Evil Emperor Gu Changge, and followed Chu Yun and the others as they left the area.

After the group left.

In his room, Gu Jiujun knelt beside the bed, slowly holding the hand of the pale female corpse. Feeling the endless coldness, he clasped his hands tightly and whispered, "Yu Rui, I have completed Revered Master's final instruction."

"The Evil Infant Realm... has a successor."

"From now on, I will only live for you. Believe me, we will definitely have that day when we meet again."

Gu Jiujun lovingly held the cold, pale hand, brought it to his lips, and gently kissed it.
