The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 117: Stealing from the Grandmaster (Part )
Just when the Seven Clan Rebellion officially began.

Within the forbidden area.

As soon as Gu Fangchen and Xu Yuexiu landed, they saw the boundless battlefield.

"kill--"

"kill--"

"kill--!!!"

There were countless soldiers roaring and charging in front of them, hacking down anyone they saw. Heavy armored knights rode tall horses, holding heavy swords high. The eyes under their helmets were cold and brutal, trampling towards the two men!

It was vaguely visible that a bloody piece of scalp was still standing under the iron hoof, indicating that the horse had just trampled someone to death.

Gu Fangchen looked calm, having anticipated this scene.

Moreover, not only did he personally command a large-scale battle involving hundreds of thousands of people from a God's perspective, he also had the experience of being a low-level soldier, step by step, spending decades to become... uh, a centurion.

Although the experiences in the illusion will gradually fade and be forgotten after leaving the illusion.

But it wasn’t too long ago, and he still had a deep impression of those decades of experience.

Therefore, faced with such a scene, Gu Fangchen remained calm.

However, Xu Yuexiu is different.

She was a purely academic practitioner and had fought with other practitioners at most, and it was rare for her to fight against several at a time. She had never seen a scene like this where hundreds of thousands of people rushed towards her at the same time.

Xu Yuexiu's face turned pale and she was so frightened that she stood there in shock, her whole body stiff and unable to move.

But she still remembered that she was a cultivator and instinctively wanted to draw her sword, but then she found that the spiritual power in her body was dormant, as if she had become an ordinary person.

Seeing the iron hoofs trampling towards her, she closed her eyes in despair.

Seeing this...

He took two steps back silently.

"Snapped!"

The blood splattered, but just didn't get on him.

The heavily armored cavalryman laughed loudly and swung his heavy sword to chop off Xu Yuexiu's head.

Gu Fangchen took this opportunity, kicked up the long sword on the ground, caught it with his hand, and then stabbed it towards the eyes of the heavily armored cavalryman. With a spin, he gouged out an eyeball.

"Ahhhh-"

The heavily armored cavalryman screamed as Gu Fangchen stabbed him in the throat again.

Gu Fangchen reached out and pulled him down, then climbed onto the horse himself.

Xu Yuexiu's body blurred for a moment and then returned to its original appearance.

The woman in the purple dress trembled palely, her eyes were very confused, she raised her hand and found that she was intact, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she also realized that this place seemed to be an illusion!
Thinking of this, Xu Yuexiu raised her head quickly, opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and saw Gu Fangchen riding on a horse, extending his hand towards her.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go."

In an instant, Xu Yuexiu looked at him with eyes full of resentment, but she immediately reached out, grabbed his hand, and sat behind him.

The armored warhorse galloped wildly, charging across the battlefield, and immediately made a path to a relatively open area.

It's much easier than fighting your way out on your own.

Xu Yuexiu also grabbed a sword and fought silently.

When it was a little safer, Gu Fangchen shrugged and explained softly:

"This is the best way to make you realize that this is an illusion."

Xu Yuexiu was still in shock, her heart pounding in her chest from just experiencing a fierce fight. She took several deep breaths before she calmed down.

Only then did she come to her senses and said sincerely:
"I understand, and I have to thank you for saving me!"

With her previous psychological state, if Gu Fangchen had not deliberately let her die once, causing her to subconsciously feel resentment and divert her attention, she would probably have been lost in this illusion for a long time before she could remember why she came here.

Maybe I will be trapped here forever because of my unbalanced mentality.

Xu Yuexiu secretly rejoiced that luckily... uh, it wasn't her senior brother who helped her.

This forbidden area is really dangerous!

Gu Fangchen also knew her character, so he came up with that trick.

Seeing that she was already used to it, he further explained: "We are now entering the supreme sword intent left by the founder of the Sword Pavilion."

"This scene is a test left behind by the sword's will."

There are two ways to pass the trial.

The first one is to comprehend the true sword intent in this illusion and naturally be able to exit.

As for the second type...

The next step is to find the founder himself.

That's right.

The gossip in the legend of Jiange is true, and the founder himself is also in this illusion.

But it was not a living person, but the corpse of the ancestor.

Gu Fangchen only told Xu Yuexiu the first solution, then pointed to the battlefield and said in a serious voice:

"That's all the hints I can give."

"Things like sword intent can only be comprehended by you. Staying with me is too safe. You won't be able to comprehend anything."

...I can’t let you know that I want to steal the head of the ancestor’s body.

What would happen if the Jiange disciples saw such a thing of betraying their teacher and ancestors?

His reputation would plummet to the bottom, and it would become a life-and-death struggle.

Gu Fangchen felt very guilty.

When Xu Yuexiu heard this, she felt as if she was facing her teacher and felt ashamed.

She is too weak!

As soon as he entered the illusion, he was stunned and had to rely on Senior Brother Fei to lead him to come to his senses.

With Brother's abilities, he was naturally at ease in this illusion. However, he was nearly injured just now because he was carrying her with him...

Otherwise, she had no doubt that her senior brother could definitely go in and out seven times amidst the enemy's might!

It was obviously their first time entering the forbidden area, but the senior brother could even predict clearly where the soldiers would attack. He was so strong!

She had actually doubted her senior brother's ability before, thinking that he was the son of some elder and had been squeezed in through the back door!

It is really like judging a gentleman by one's own standards.

Now, in Xu Yuexiu's eyes, Gu Fangchen's pair of white hands like a woman's have become a symbol of elegance, composure and perfection.

Xu Yuexiu quickly said:
"I understand! Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother! Yuexiu will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Gu Fangchen reached out and patted her shoulder, saying kindly:
"Go ahead, I'm rooting for you!"

He waved his hand and watched Xu Yuexiu walk into the meat grinder-like battlefield with a righteous look.

I'm sorry, Junior Sister Xu!

in fact……

One can also directly comprehend the true meaning of the sword from the corpse of the ancestor.

……

Gu Fangchen followed the route in his memory and successfully reached the edge of the battlefield.

This edge is a bottomless cliff.

Anyone who sees this will think that this is the boundary of the illusion and that going further is a dead end.

And in the game, there are air walls to block it.

But only at a certain specific point is there no air wall and you can jump down directly.

The route that looks like a bug is actually the right way.

Below is the body of Jiange’s founder.

Gu Fangchen found the spot, took a deep breath, looked at the dark cliff, prepared himself mentally, and then jumped down.
