105: Chapter 105 Black Robe and Golden Token, Gu Han, Commander of Zhenwu

"Greetings, Old Ancestor. Greetings, Commander."

The imperial Disciple bowed respectfully and handed the uniform and token to Gu Han.

Gu Han reached out to take them, swept them with his Divine Sense, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

"Chu Ming, from now on, you shall properly assist Worshipper Gu."

Afterwards, he spoke to Gu Han again.

"Worshipper Gu, if there is anything you do not understand in the Zhenwu Division, just ask Chu Ming."

"He is now your subordinate; feel free to make use of him."

Having said this, he waved his hand, signaling Chu Ming to withdraw.

Seeing this, Chu Ming bowed respectfully and turned to withdraw.

Gu Han put on the uniform of the Zhenwu Division Commander and donned the token; his Aura instantly became completely different.

His gaze was burning, his Aura was like a rainbow, and he was incomparably majestic.

"Not bad, not bad. You actually have the look of a Zhenwu Division Commander."

Chu Tiankuo could not help but praise him.

Seeing this, Gu Han also responded with a smile.

He knew well that this identity as the Zhenwu Division Commander was merely one step in his plan.

It was the source for him to quickly plunder life origin crystals.

With this skin, he could openly hunt down the trash of the Blood God Cult.

Of course, his goal went far beyond this.

Immediately, Gu Han and Chu Tiankuo walked out of the Zhenwu Division treasury side by side, their steps steady.

Outside the treasury, the night was like ink, dotted with stars, but it could not hide the sharp edge in Gu Han's eyes.

"Worshipper Gu, now that you are the Commander of our Zhenwu Division, I will have to trouble you to slay demons and eliminate devils, and to punish the wicked and support the good in the future."

Chu Tiankuo said as they walked, his tone carrying a hint of probing and solicitation.

"I wonder if Worshipper Gu is married?"

"Within our imperial family, there is no lack of proud daughters of heaven. If one could be united in marriage with Worshipper Gu, it would surely be a beautiful story."

"My granddaughter, Chu Qingge, is just sixteen years old, and she is one of the best in the imperial family."

"Those who like to gossip in the outside world even revere her as one of the Four Great Beauties of the Imperial Family."

A playful smile curled the corners of Gu Han's mouth as he glanced sideways at Chu Tiankuo, his tone carrying a hint of mockery.

"Senior Chu, your warm-heartedness is appreciated by this Junior."

"However, marriage is a major life event; how can it be treated as child's play?"

"Moreover, I have just become a Worshipper and have yet to perform any meritorious service, yet I would be marrying one of the Four Great Beauties of the Imperial Family."

"It would damage the dignity of the imperial family."

"This matter can be discussed later."

Hearing this, a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in Chu Tiankuo's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm and smiled.

"Hehe, that is true. A Genius like Worshipper Gu..."

"Marrying Qingge would be her good fortune."

"Those people outside are all foolish."

"Worshipper Gu does not need to pay them any mind."

As the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of the Zhenwu Division main hall.

The main hall stood towering and was brightly lit; Zhenwu Guards were patrolling within, their Aura solemn.

Gu Han swept his gaze over it and calculated inwardly that this Zhenwu Division was actually a pretty good springboard.

It could both leverage power and hide his true self.

"Worshipper Gu, this position of Zhenwu Division Commander is no small matter. You must take office tomorrow and handle affairs."

Chu Tiankuo suddenly stopped, turned to look at Gu Han, his tone carrying a hint of seriousness.

"However, you are new here and perhaps not yet familiar with the affairs of the Zhenwu Division."

"Why not let Chu Ming stay by your side to give you a helping hand?"

Gu Han sneered inwardly upon hearing this. Chu Tiankuo was certainly calculating well; he wanted to utilize him while also sending someone to monitor him. Truly deep and calculating. However, was he, Gu Han, someone who could be manipulated?

"Senior Chu has certainly considered everything thoroughly."

"I will follow Senior's arrangements."

"But, Senior, do not blame me if I work the imperial family Disciple hard."

Gu Han could not help but tease.

Hearing this, Chu Tiankuo also laughed out loud.

"Hahaha."

"Worshipper Gu, feel free to use him as you please."

"If he does not listen, you can tell me."

"I will definitely skin him alive."

"It is a deal, then."

Gu Han gave Chu Tiankuo a graceful exit at the right time.

Chu Tiankuo smiled slightly, took out a jade token engraved with a Dragon pattern from his sleeve, and handed it to Gu Han.

"This is the Imperial Family Worshipper identity token. Holding this token, you may freely enter and exit the Forbidden Ground of the Imperial City, and you can even mobilize a portion of the Zhenwu Division's power."

Gu Han took the jade token. It felt warm and smooth in his hand, and a faint light flowed across it. Vaguely, it seemed as if the sound of a Dragon roaring echoed.

"Many thanks, Senior."

A smile curled the corners of his mouth as he tucked the jade token into his robes.

Seeing this, Chu Tiankuo nodded inwardly.

This Gu Tian was someone who knew how to advance and retreat.

"Worshipper Gu, I wonder if you have a place to stay for the time being?"

He asked softly, his gaze carrying a hint of concern.

Gu Han shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

His current identity was Gu Tian; how could he have a place to stay in the capital?

"Since that is the case, I will have Chu Ming arrange a residence for you."

After saying this, Chu Tiankuo turned and called for Chu Ming, giving him a few instructions in a low voice.

Chu Ming respectfully accepted the order and turned to look at Gu Han, his gaze carrying a hint of awe and curiosity.

"Worshipper Gu, please follow me."

Gu Han nodded and followed Chu Ming as he left, calculating his next plans inwardly.

He needed to familiarize himself with everything in the Zhenwu Division as soon as possible, and he also needed to figure out the distribution of forces in the Imperial City to prepare for future actions.

While he was thinking, Chu Ming suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Han, his gaze carrying a hint of hesitation.

"Worshipper Gu, there is something I need to inform you of in advance."

Gu Han raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze like a torch, looking straight at Chu Ming.

"What is it?"

Chu Ming took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"The Zhenwu Division is not a monolith; the forces within it are intricate and complex."

"What is more, some are colluding with certain forces in the Imperial City to secretly seek personal gain."

"You are new here, so you must act carefully and not let yourself be plotted against."

Hearing this, a cold smile curled the corners of Gu Han's mouth, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Thanks for the reminder; I will be careful."

He thought to himself, this Zhenwu Division was quite an interesting place. He wanted to see just how deep the waters here really were.

Seeing this, Chu Ming did not say anything more and turned to continue walking.

Not long after, the two arrived in front of a quiet courtyard. In the courtyard, there were pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water, all well-equipped. There was even a faint Spiritual Qi lingering, clearly a treasure land for Cultivation.

"Worshipper Gu, this is your residence."

Chu Ming said respectfully, his eyes carrying a hint of envy.

This courtyard was one of the best places for Cultivation in the Zhenwu Division.

Usually, only the high-ranking members of the Zhenwu Division could live here, but now it had become Gu Han's residence.

"Many thanks."

He said indifferently and turned to walk into the courtyard. Seeing this, Chu Ming bowed respectfully and turned to leave.

Gu Han walked into the courtyard, swept his gaze around, and calculated his next plans inwardly.

"You scum of the Blood God Cult, wash your necks clean and wait for me to come find you."

Gu Han could not help but laugh wildly in his heart.

Gu Han walked into the courtyard, swept his gaze around, and finally landed on the room where the Spiritual Qi was most dense.

His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the room door and pushed it open to enter.

Inside the room, the layout was simple yet elegant: a stone table, two stone stools, and a stone bed. Other than that, there was nothing else.

But Gu Han could feel that the Spiritual Qi in this room was many times denser than the outside.

"A good place!"

A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the stone bed and sat down cross-legged.

He closed his eyes, sank his Divine Sense into his storage ring, and began to take inventory of the items he had obtained from the Zhenwu Division treasury.

Three dharma image diagrams, several movement techniques and saber techniques, and the jade token engraved with a Dragon pattern that Chu Tiankuo had given him.

Gu Han took out the dharma image diagrams and unfolded them one by one. His gaze swept over them, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
