Chapter 4326: Mo Ancestor
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
"Gou Wuyue?""He actually dares to show himself openly?"
Turning to look, far away, the one rising skyward, treading on air with a sword, who else could it be but the one-armed Gou Wuyue?
Yet, Cao Yihan did not believe this fellow had such good intentions.
Though Gou Wuyue was certainly an ancient swordsman, he immersed himself in his own world, not aligning with him, with Bazhun’an, or with others.
This much became evident from the choices made by the Ten High Nobles after their battle back in the day.
The Ten High Nobles were the pinnacle of the Five Regions’ war, essentially a selection tournament for the demi-saint families to choose their Saint Servants.
Talents from all over fought their way out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, not here to be someone’s dog.
Therefore, even after receiving the olive branch from the Stairway to Heaven, most chose to refuse.
Only Ai Cangsheng and Gou Wuyue were exceptions. Though neither ascended the Stairway to Heaven, both joined the Holy Divine Palace.
The path of the Lord Cang Sheng was quite clear.
He accepted reality and voluntarily became a touchstone.
Those who defeat me may advance an inch; those who fail have no chance to turn the tide against adversity.
This seemingly blocked the progress of the talents in the Five Regions, but in truth, it allowed the powers behind the Stairway to Heaven to trust him with the responsibility of protecting the continent, ensuring that the Five Regions’ talents wouldn’t be prematurely exposed and thereby extinguished too soon.
In the end, only Xu Xiaoshou emerged, after which he retired.
Gou Wuyue was purely there to act as a dog, and Kui Leihan looked down on this person entirely.
If he served as the Red Coat Ruler of Dao, eliminating ghost beasts and guarding the extradimensional cracks, regardless of missteps, at least half would be good.
What is the White-clothed?
White-clothed stands as the executioner of the Holy Divine Palace, mainly dealing with "dark factions," naturally including the Saint Servants.
The true dark factions cannot stir under the Holy Divine Palace; they are heavily suppressed.
But organizations like the Saint Servants, symbolizing freedom and bearing rebellious spirits, were labeled as threats to the continent, marked for total eradication.
Gou Wuyue contributed greatly to this cause.
"Why, Brother Gou?"
Cao Yihan’s head turned, his voice laced with unabashed mockery, not sparing Moonless Sword Deity’s face: "Why emerge now after laying low for so long? Could it be you’re here to wish me a Happy New Year early?"
Gou Wuyue carried The Voice of Nulan awkwardly, shaking his head at the words and bursting into laughter.
He was no weasel, and Cao Yihan should not belittle himself as a chicken; though not exactly allies, from Gou Wuyue’s perspective, they weren’t truly enemies either.
This person disliked him for known reasons.
Merely because years ago at He Ting Mountain’s Mizao Spring, he inadvertently encountered Qing Quan Zhuo Zu, one of the Five Evil Guys, and subsequently destroyed the headquarters of Fen Qin.
Also, during sword cognition in the Western Region, he accidentally shattered the great desert ridge’s array, killing their Deputy Chief, then discovered through the captured Inscription Stele Divine Instrument Luojing, realizing the Deputy Chief was just a mirage avatar, leading to tracking down the Chief near Qingyuan Mountain in the Central Region.
Yet, in both matters, Gou Wuyue did not pursue to the end.
Since Fen Qin had been exposed, those beneath them couldn’t escape, their leader’s abilities were commendable, and even though others might not understand the sword cognition in the command token, Gou Wuyue didn’t see anything significant in it, so he left it unresolved.
The affair of the Western Region’s Luojing was even more thoroughly suppressed; besides Hallmaster Dao, no one knew the truth, and they didn’t dispatch anyone to hunt down the desert ridge’s members thereafter, only Hallmaster Dao unilaterally reinforced personnel at Qingyuan Mountain, keeping a close watch on Kui Leihan.
Where convenience within his authority could be given, Gou Wuyue granted it all.
Like the Yi Bang at Cross Corner Street East Street, the Flower Pavilion behind Half-Moon Residence in the Southern Region, or Fringe Moon Immortal City in the Eastern Region, could White-clothed under Gou Wuyue’s leadership not have the ability to clear them out?
He simply didn’t.
A single word "busy" could cover all strict orders.
Hallmaster Dao fostered traitors to maintain control, turning a blind eye, while Gou Wuyue played the fool, dragging on the continuous orders from above until matters eventually settled themselves.
If all these were to be laid bare, the Holy Divine Palace deeming Gou Wuyue as the sixth hidden Saint Servant and sentencing him to death wouldn’t be excessive.
No need to speak of it.
No necessity to say anything, either.
But people are greedy, remember wrongs not rights, and with truths unspeakable, Gou Wuyue was even less inclined to talk.
The Divine was more built than most, Cao Yihan at best matched three parts of its magnitude.
Both were stubborn and knew nothing of worldly affairs; speaking would be in vain. As long as Bazhun’an understood, it sufficed.
"In one’s position, seek its rightful duties."
Too lazy for more words, Gou Wuyue flung out this one sentence, bypassing this once-acquainted Ancestor of Thought.
His one-arm sleeve flapped.
The battlefield’s wind was bleak and bone-chilling.
Taking a step forward, and Gou Wuyue, now engaging in this battlefield, turned his head to fixate on Demon Ancestor Saint Xin, his gaze utterly calm.
And Saint Xin, behind the guardian duo, remained confident, not intimidated even by Bazhun’an’s return, after scrutinizing his saber closely, he bore a mocking expression:
"Ancestor of Thought’s righteousness, the Ancestor of Thought Divine Net benefited the Five Regions’ cultivators, and you too wish to engage for ’our generation of ancient swordsmen’?"
Is every person who wields a sword assuming themselves to be Bazhun’an reborn?
Do they genuinely believe everyone can transcend, and act recklessly?
"No," Gou Wuyue shook his head, "I only act for myself, and for the sword in my hand."
In the struggle to rob the path, how many were truly selfless?
The Ancestor of Thought Divine Net was merely a backup plan, abandoning halfway to invest in the cycle of reincarnation was due to personal emotion.
From the Ten Ancestors to the Ten High Nobles, apart from Ai Cangsheng, even Bazhun’an could only focus on the Heavenly Realm and the people of the world within the scope of their abilities.
