104: Chapter 104: Using an alias to make a vow and concealing a plan; the three-year agreement is fulfilled.

A hint of interest flashed in Gu Han's eyes, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his lips.

"Swearing an oath isn't out of the question,"

"and becoming a Royal Enshrined is also possible."

"However, in three years, This Young Master will leave, and you must not stop me."

"You must also swear an oath upon the Luck of the Great Chu Imperial Family."

"Is that acceptable?"

Chu Tiankuo's brows furrowed tightly. His gaze was like fire, staring intently at Gu Han as if trying to see right through him.

"Letting you leave after three years?"

"You certainly have it all figured out."

"However, if you truly can achieve a Breakthrough to Nirvana within three years, this old man might not necessarily refuse."

"But you must swear a Martial Dao Oath that within these three years, you will do nothing to harm my Imperial Family."

"You must accept the tasks assigned by my Imperial Family without refusal."

A cold sneer curled Gu Han's lips, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Harming the Imperial Family?"

"This Young Master doesn't have the time for that."

"Besides, since This Young Master has agreed, I won't do such low-handed things."

"Since you've agreed, then swear the oath."

"But This Young Master has one more condition."

Chu Tiankuo frowned, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"What other condition?"

"This Young Master wants to join the Zhenwu Division directly and, furthermore, become the Zhenwu Division Commander!"

"This Young Master wants to try being an official."

"It can be considered bringing honor to my ancestors."

Gu Han's eyes burned brightly, his Aura surging like a rainbow as he looked directly at Chu Tiankuo.

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Zhenwu Division Commander?"

"You certainly have a massive appetite."

"However, if you truly have the strength, this old man might not necessarily refuse."

"But you must first swear a Martial Dao Oath; otherwise, there's no deal."

A hint of amusement flashed in Gu Han's eyes. He thought to himself, *This old fox is quite cautious.*

He took a deep breath, the Dharma Image Power circulating within his body. Following the method taught by Chu Tiankuo, he swore a Martial Dao Oath.

"I, Gu Tian, swear a Martial Dao Oath today."

"Within three years, I shall serve as a Great Chu Royal Enshrined. If I violate this, may heaven and earth destroy me, and may my Soul Fly Away and Spirit Scatter!"

As the oath was spoken, thunder seemed to rumble between heaven and earth, as if witnessing the solemnity of the vow.

Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo's expression relaxed slightly, though he did not let down his guard completely.

"Good. Since you have sworn the oath, then this old man shall also swear one."

"In three years, if Gu Tian wishes to leave, my Imperial Family will absolutely not stop him, nor shall we pursue him."

"Let heaven and earth bear witness!"

As the oath was spoken, the golden dragon of dynasty's fortune surged around Chu Tiankuo, as if echoing the solemnity of the vow.

A flash of satisfaction crossed Gu Han's eyes, and a playful smile curled his lips.

"Good. In that case, it's a deal."

"However, you must first hand over the dharma image diagram, Movement Technique, and Saber Technique to me."

"As for the Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique, you can give it to me in a year."

Chu Tiankuo's face darkened slightly, but he did not refuse.

He knew well that Gu Han was testing his sincerity.

"Fine."

"However, you must first follow this old man back to the Imperial Family before I can hand over the dharma image diagram, Movement Technique, and Saber Technique."

Gu Han's brows furrowed slightly, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"Return to the Imperial Family?"

"This Young Master doesn't have the time for that."

"If you don't trust me, then give me the dharma image diagram, Movement Technique, and Saber Technique now."

"Otherwise, we might as well forget about this deal."

Chu Tiankuo's expression changed slightly, but he did not lash out.

He suppressed his anger and spoke in a deep voice.

"Fine, this old man will trust you once."

"But you must first follow me to a certain place before I can give you the dharma image diagram, Movement Technique, and Saber Technique."

A hint of interest flashed in Gu Han's eyes, and a playful smile curled his lips.

"Oh? What place?"

"The Zhenwu Division!"

Chu Tiankuo said in a deep voice, his gaze like fire as he stared intently at Gu Han.

Hearing this, a flash of surprise crossed Gu Han's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"The Zhenwu Division?"

"Very well, I'll go with you."

"Since This Young Master is about to become their superior, it's good to meet them."

"But if you dare to play any tricks, This Young Master won't show any mercy."

Chu Tiankuo looked joyful, not at all offended by Gu Han's arrogance.

He simply took it as the impetuousness of youth.

Immediately, his figure flashed as he sped toward the Imperial City.

Seeing this, a cold sneer curled Gu Han's lips, and his figure flashed as he followed closely behind.

The two figures were like lightning, carving two brilliant trails across the night sky as they headed straight for the Imperial City.

...

Imperial City, Zhenwu Division.

Chu Tiankuo led Gu Han, passing through without any obstacles, straight to a Secret Chamber deep within the Zhenwu Division.

"This is the Zhenwu Division's Treasury. The dharma image diagram, Movement Technique, and Saber Technique are all inside."

"Follow this old man inside."

Chu Tiankuo said in a deep voice, his gaze like fire as he stared intently at Gu Han.

Interest flashed in Gu Han's eyes, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his lips.

"Oh? A treasury?"

"That is somewhat interesting."

"Senior Chu, please!"

At this moment, Gu Han had already quickly stepped into his role.

Seeing this change in Gu Han, Chu Tiankuo was very satisfied.

"Follow me!"

With that, Chu Tiankuo took a large stride forward.

Gu Han followed closely behind Chu Tiankuo into the Secret Chamber.

Inside the Secret Chamber, the lights were bright, and the radiance of treasures overflowed.

Various Magic Treasures, Cultivation Techniques, and Medicinal Pills were on display, a dazzling array that made one's head spin.

Gu Han's gaze swept across the room, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Not bad, not bad. It wasn't a waste for This Young Master to make this trip."

Chu Tiankuo smiled but did not speak.

He simply walked to a Jade Platform deep within the chamber and, with a wave of his hand, picked up three dharma image diagrams from atop it.

"Here!"

"These are the dharma image diagrams you wanted."

"As for the Movement Technique and Saber Technique, pick them yourself."

"Whichever book you take a fancy to, take it away."

"But remember to return them!"

"Otherwise, the Zhenwu Division won't have anything left to reward the subordinates."

"Not bad, not bad. You do have some sincerity."

"However, This Young Master has one more question."

Chu Tiankuo beamed with joy.

"Please speak, young friend."

"When will the Zhenwu Division Commander take office?"

"Also, I will follow orders but not summons."

"If there's a mission, just send someone to notify me."

"During my time in the Zhenwu Division, you cannot stop me."

"Of course, I won't kill the innocent indiscriminately."

Gu Han's eyes burned brightly as he looked at Chu Tiankuo with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo's face darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"The Zhenwu Division Commander is a high official of my Imperial Family. How can one take office so casually?"

"However, since you've agreed to become the Zhenwu Division Commander, this old man will make an exception and let you take office tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Very well, tomorrow it is."

A cold sneer curled Gu Han's lips, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"But you must first prepare a set of Zhenwu Division Commander's robes and a Medallion for This Young Master."

"Rest assured."

"This old man will naturally have everything prepared."

"With you overseeing the Zhenwu Division, this old man couldn't be happier."

"Enshrined Chu, first pick the things you need."

With that, he waved his hand, and a Transmission Jade Slip flew out of the Secret Chamber, vanishing into the night sky.

Seeing this, Gu Han curled his lips in a cold sneer and said nothing, simply waiting quietly.

Before long, Chu Tiankuo returned in a hurry with a Zhenwu Guard, carrying a set of magnificent robes and a Medallion.

This person was a member of a branch of the Imperial Family.
