Sheng Fu

"My name is Gu Yue, and I greet Your Highness Yuwen." Gu Yue clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Before Yuwen Jun could even sense it, the Primordial Spirit Cat, hidden in the void, whispered a warning: "Be careful, this person has a trace of Ziwei True Essence within them."

Yuwen Jun frowned slightly and said, "Are you a spy left in the Chaos Space by His Majesty the Human Emperor?"

Gu Yue stood up and replied gently, "Your Highness is indeed exceptionally intelligent; you guessed it so quickly."

Yuwen Jun smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult to deduce. There are many capable people in the Chaos Space. No matter who is in charge, they will feel uneasy about these capable people."

"Furthermore, you also have some Ziwei True Essence within you."

"It seems you know something about the Purple Gold Alliance?"

Guangli stood beside Yuwen Jun. As agreed beforehand, she would not act as a high and mighty queen here. In addition, the Demon Realm, though seemingly in ruins, was actually extremely poor. The country she ruled was not prosperous, and she herself had no foundation to be high and mighty.

Gu Yue then gestured an invitation, saying, "Please follow me, Your Highness."

In a short while, the world turned upside down, and the group arrived at a dense bamboo forest, where a bamboo pavilion stood.

The teapot on the tea table was steaming, and the tea had just been brewed.

After everyone took their seats, Yuwen Jun belatedly realized that His Majesty the Emperor had also left a subtle, imperceptible trace of Ziwei True Essence within his body.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Jun couldn't help but laugh. That unfathomable emperor did have a little bit of cleverness and wisdom at times.

Gu Yue poured tea and water for the group, and Yuwen Jun tapped the corner of the table, saying with slight impatience, "We can get to the point. We have no interest in indulging in refined pursuits these days."

Yuwen Jun was genuinely anxious.

If we can understand the historical context of the break in advance, then the implementation of the new policies can be targeted and many fewer people will die.

In addition, Yuwen Jun wished he could investigate every single person in the Chaos Space thoroughly.

Only in this way can the information of the Great World and the Chaos Space be connected into a whole.

Of course, this is very difficult, and Yuwen Jun's hopes are not high.

Gu Yue, however, asked in a serious tone, "Does Your Highness not wish to ask me why His Majesty made me wait for you here?"

"And what is His Majesty's attitude?"

Yuwen Jun smiled insincerely and said, "When Guangli went to Hengchang Sect, His Majesty the Human Emperor already noticed that Netherworld True Essence had entered the human realm. And since I brought them here, His Majesty will naturally be able to notice it as well."

"Furthermore, I speculate that His Majesty's fundamental injury should have been fully recovered long ago."

"Right now, he's just faking illness."

"Of course, there are indeed many people who believe that His Majesty has a rare and incurable disease."

"As for His Majesty's attitude, it is not important at all."

"His Majesty only cares about the process and the result; the so-called attitude and ceremonial procession are nothing but illusions."

After hearing Yuwen Jun's lecture, Gu Yue was at a loss for how to respond.

Perhaps it was because he had lived here alone for too long, without companions, silently cultivating and working hard in secret, that Gu Yue lost some of his sharpness and decisiveness.

Furthermore, Gu Yue and Yuwen Jun did not belong to the same era.

We've read different books and walked different paths, but it just so happens that we've met here and may even work together for a while.

"Your Highness is absolutely right." Gu Yue finally managed to utter this sentence after a long pause.

Yuwen Jun cut to the chase: "So, there are indeed core members of the Purple Gold Alliance within the Chaos Space?"

Gu Yue nodded.

“Besides the Purple Gold Alliance, there seems to be another mysterious organization. I’ve been secretly investigating this for years but haven’t found any trace of it. Moreover, there are many hidden small worlds within the Chaos Space, which outsiders would have no idea about without a guide,” Gu Yue said with an embarrassed expression. Hearing this, Yuwen Jun’s head throbbed with worry.

He glanced at Guangli out of the corner of his eye, thinking to himself, "If we encounter a fierce battle in the Chaos Space, I wonder if this woman can withstand the surging flames of war."

"The reason His Majesty hasn't brought up the Purple Gold Alliance with you is simply because he doesn't want to alert them," Gu Yue explained again.

Yuwen Jun shook his head and said, "There's no need to explain these things. His Majesty has his own difficulties. In my impression, His Majesty the Emperor always has many unavoidable situations."

He always relied on others to cure his difficult and complicated illnesses.

Gu Yue remained silent once again.

However, this does not affect Gu Yue's absolute loyalty to His Majesty.

With the competition reaching this point, many things that used to require roundabout methods and currying favor now require a direct and frank approach.

“I know of a secret realm where a member of the Purple Gold Alliance lives, but I cannot enter that realm,” Gu Yue said, bowing her head slightly.

Yuwen Jun frowned slightly and said, "Even with a small amount of Ziwei True Essence, you still can't enter that secret realm?"

Gu Yue nodded with shame and said, "Yes."

"Therefore, Your Highness's Chaotic Imperial Qi is the only breakthrough point."

Yuwen Jun gritted his teeth slightly and sneered, "If that's the case, then the only people who have the ability to enter that secret realm are the Demon Lord and me?"

The Demon Lord is infinitely close to the myriad realms, and his cultivation is immeasurable. Naturally, he can easily enter any secret realm under heaven. However, the current Demon Lord has been crippled by Gu Yong and has fallen into a deep sleep. This is a fact known to all under heaven, and naturally, the people in the Chaos Space also know it.

Yuwen Jun covered her face and laughed, "So how should I shift the blame onto the Demon Lord?"

Inside the bamboo pavilion, a silence fell. The teapot continued to steam, and no one could answer Yuwen Jun's question.

The information provided by Gu Yue completely eliminated any possibility that Yuwen Jun might want to investigate in secret.

Once it's out in the open, it could attract attacks.

This seems to be a dead end.

"Does the Emperor expect me to take a gamble?" Yuwen Jun stared into Gu Yue's eyes and deliberately grinned.

Gu Yue fell silent, not daring to meet his gaze.

Yuwen Jun sighed and said, "This does indeed suit His Majesty the Emperor's demeanor and bearing."

Since the sarcastic remarks had gone this far, Gu Yue could only acquiesce. However, Yuwen Jun stopped making sarcastic remarks and instead said very seriously, "In fact, this is where His Majesty's great talent and strategy lie. He knows who can do practical things and simply delegates power to them."

"You don't need to feel embarrassed. I was planning to break the deadlock anyway."

"This is also the tacit understanding between His Majesty and me. I just didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. From the very beginning, I had to fight a bloody battle all by myself."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yue glanced at Guang Li beside Yuwen Jun and said with a lack of confidence, "Your Highness also has Her Majesty the Queen by your side."

"In a way, it wasn't exactly a lone battle."

Yuwen Jun froze on the spot, then sneered, "You're quite the smooth talker."

Gu Yue said, "There are also demons within the Purple Gold Alliance. The Purple Gold Alliance member I discovered is from the demon race."

Guangli took a deep breath through her nose, a thousand words welling up in her heart, but she was too lazy to express them.

What we call our innermost thoughts are nothing more than worthless emotions at this moment.

Yuwen Jun gazed at Gu Yue and asked in a deep voice, "So, from now on, you will willingly obey my commands?" (End of Chapter)
