338: Gu Jiujun’s goal, hope!

Slaughter Emperor Hun Wuzhen’s demeanor showed great reverence for Chu Yun, and Chu Yun, without any need to doubt him, completely trusted him with all the authority of the Evil Infant Realm.

“You must have heard about the recent events on the Divine Continent Pure Land.”

“While I’m away, you still need to pay attention to the movements of the Dark Race. If there’s any sign of them making a move on the Evil Infant Realm, you can immediately send me a message,” Chu Yun continued to instruct him.

At this current time, the only ones likely to make a move on the Divine Continent Pure Land are the Dark Race.

Gu Yue Immortal Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall is entirely focused on the Fusion Technique. As long as he hasn’t completely achieved his goal, he most likely won’t act proactively.

“Yes!”

“lord of the realm, rest assured, I’ve always had people keeping an eye on the movements of the Source of Darkness. Once the Dark Race makes a move, I will inform the lord of the realm immediately,” Slaughter Emperor Hun Wuzhen said sincerely.

Chu Yun nodded upon hearing this: “Alright, I’m going to see him.”

Slaughter Emperor Hun Wuzhen naturally knew who “him” was and immediately responded: “Yes, lord of the realm.”

Immediately after, Chu Yun used the lord of the realm token in his hand to activate the Core Seal and entered the Secret Realm where Gu Jiujun was located.

…………

When Chu Yun entered Gu Jiujun’s small courtyard, he saw that Gu Jiujun had prepared many dishes and poured two cups of wine, clearly already waiting for him.

“You’re here.”

“Sit down and have a drink with me.”

Gu Jiujun was not surprised when he saw Chu Yun arrive and directly invited him to sit down.

Chu Yun’s expression was calm, and he immediately sat opposite Gu Jiujun. The latter proactively picked up his wine cup, and Chu Yun clinked his cup against it. The two of them first drained this cup of wine.

“Good wine.”

After one cup of wine, Chu Yun couldn’t help but praise the wine’s deliciousness.

Gu Jiujun smiled: “This is wine from my era, treasured for so many years. You are the first one to drink it.”

Hearing this, Chu Yun smiled in surprise: “This is truly an honor.”

“Then it seems I need to drink a few more cups today so as not to waste your kindness.”

Gu Jiujun smiled generously: “Drink as much as you like, there’s plenty of wine!”

“Hahahahaha!!”

The two of them, with a tacit understanding, did not discuss other matters. During this banquet, they simply enjoyed Gu Jiujun’s cooking and fine wine.

Finally, after the meal was finished, it was Gu Jiujun who spoke first, bringing up the main topic: “Since you’ve come to find me, you must already have a target.”

“Who are you planning to make a move on?”

Chu Yun replied calmly: “The Ancient Soul Nest.”

“The Ancestor of the Ancient Soul Nest has returned. He is an Immortal Martial. If we can subdue him, it will add a strong fighting force to our upcoming resistance against the Dark Race.”

Gu Jiujun nodded upon hearing this: “That’s a good idea. He is indeed a suitable target.”

“Next, the Immortal Martial level will be the main force.”

“It’s impossible for an Immortal King to appear in this era, so looking at the current Yuan Realm, the Shadow Empress Su Xi is the strongest openly acknowledged.”

“As long as the Ancestor of the Soul Clan isn’t foolish, he will naturally choose to stand with us.”

Chu Yun asked curiously at this point: “I’m actually quite curious, why did you choose to help me?”

“From what I understand, everything you’ve done is for that girl, right?”

Gu Jiujun did not deny it, but instead explained to Chu Yun: “She is my wife, named Yu Rui.”

“The reason I am still alive today can be said to be because of her.”

“Many people, including my former Revered Master, were very confused as to why I would be so obsessed with a corpse. I was even rumored to have necrophilia by the outside world.”

“But they don’t know that Yu Rui became a corpse because, when she and I were exploring a Secret Realm together, she sacrificed herself to save me.”

“I tried my best to preserve her Physical Body, but I couldn’t protect her Soul.”

“Since then, I have spent my entire life searching for a way to revive her. Other things became unimportant in my eyes, and it was precisely because of this that I disappointed Revered Master back then.”

“But it’s alright, hard work pays off. I finally found hope.”

When he spoke the last sentence, Gu Jiujun’s gaze was on Chu Yun.

Chu Yun listened to all of this and generally understood his experience.

However, he was a bit surprised by the last sentence and couldn’t help but ask: “So the hope you’re referring to is me?”

Gu Jiujun nodded and said: “That’s right, it’s you.”

“Your Third Senior Brother said that you are the Son of Heavenly Secrets of this era, and various Heaven-Defying Opportunities will appear on you. You are also key to resisting the Yuan Calamity.”

“And to revive Yu Rui, you must defeat the Yuan Calamity and bring a new dawn to the Yuan Realm; only then can it succeed!”

“This is what your Third Senior Brother told me personally back then.”

“So what I need to do next is to assist you with all my might and help you become stronger.”

“Only after you defeat the Yuan Calamity will I need you to give me that sole return.” Gu Jiujun spoke very clearly and honestly, without any concealment.

He wasn’t helping Chu Yun for no reason; he needed Chu Yun to repay him after the Yuan Calamity was defeated.

Chu Yun was also a little surprised at this moment. His Third Senior Brother’s schemes were truly far-reaching!

His admiration for him couldn’t help but grow a little more. When he achieved Immortal Martial and could fully use some of the Time-Space Human Ancestor’s innate Divine Abilities, he would definitely find out what kind of background his Third Senior Brother had!

Why could he be called a bug by the System?!

“You trust my Third Senior Brother that much?”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll eventually die under the Yuan Calamity, and all your efforts will ultimately be in vain?” Chu Yun continued to ask.

“Hahaha!”

Gu Jiujun burst into laughter at this point, then said: “If there’s one person in this world, besides Yu Rui and my Revered Master, whom I can trust unreservedly.”

“That would be your Third Senior Brother.”

Chu Yun was curious: “Why?”

Gu Jiujun didn’t explain much about this, saying: “If you want to know about this, you can go back and ask your Third Senior Brother.”

Seeing this, Chu Yun put away his curiosity and stopped asking: “Then when are we planning to depart?”

“With Slaughter Emperor Hun Wuzhen in the Evil Infant Realm, we don’t need to worry.”

“Go and return quickly. It’s best not to let the Four Great Monarchs of the Dark Race discover us. That would be the most secure…”

At this moment, Chu Yun’s words were not yet finished when his expression suddenly froze, and then his face showed some pleasant surprise.

“This is truly a coincidence.”
