Chapter 397: Chapter 224: The Righteous Knight’s Word is His Bond! _2

"Not at all, we’re all out here hustling, why resort to violence? I’m someone who values peace," Gu Shanhai sincerely expressed, referring to a pioneer who had established the precedent of wearing a helmet while fishing.

Speaking of which, Gu Shanhai brought out the Azure Dragon.

As soon as the Azure Dragon appeared, it spewed out a laser Dragon Breath formed by a Mana aura. After integrating with the space-based weapons of the Dawn Space Station, the Dragon Breath of the Azure Dragon was no longer merely a fiery form but had transformed into a higher-level beam of high-energy energy. A direct hit would indeed be excruciatingly exhilarating.

Take that blood man, for instance; no sooner had he finished uttering his threats than he was left with nothing below his chest, thanks to Gu Shanhai having the Azure Dragon spare his life. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a little of him left, let alone a lot—it would be thanks to his tough bones.

The blood man wore a look of utter fury, not expecting Gu Shanhai to disregard martial morality and not duel with spells but to directly use a beast to severely injure him.

What remained of his body fell to the ground, quickly merging with the massive amount of blood and soil, and from a distance, it looked as if a head was growing out of the ground.

"Elder Wude, spare my life, and I’ll tell you about a tremendous opportunity!" the blood man, not caring much now, hurriedly pleaded.

Talk big saying, ’My father is so-and-so, my master is so-and-so’?

That’s nonsense, isn’t it? His own forces were already annihilated, so trying to talk tough lacked persuasiveness.

Moreover, the other party could boast of even greater connections and might even bring them all along, so conceding was indeed the real solution.

"Is that all?" Gu Shanhai wasn’t very interested in opportunities.

The blood man was also startled. What do you mean, ’Is that all?’ He was already down and out; how could he have anything else?

"I meant to ask why, with all this fanfare, you’re not dead yet?" Gu Shanhai questioned, which was what he was curious about.

The blood man was somewhat speechless at Gu Shanhai’s question—so this is all you wanted to know?

"My Purple Mansion Divine Power is ’Blind Eye,’ which can conceal my presence from the inspectors to a certain extent, making me temporarily invisible to them. Thus, in their eyes, I don’t exist, and correspondingly, certain parts also don’t exist," the opponent sincerely explained.

Gu Shanhai finally understood; the blood man didn’t need to keep hiding, just to evade detection momentarily.

Inspecting disciples, maneuvering the Giant God Mecha, passed by at high speeds without lingering long. Moreover, due to the vast territory under surveillance, loopholes occurred, failing to detect the opponent.

Although the Loose Cultivators had reported him, it was a matter for the inspecting disciples to resolve.

The blood man also had to take risks, but these risks were relatively small. If not for Gu Shanhai’s emergence, the horrifying spectacle of corpses and bloodshed was already halfway complete. The remaining half just required the blood man to abduct people from the nearby Loose Cultivation Market, and in no more than six hours, he would have completed the imprinting and plundering of the natural spectacle.

Next would naturally be to flee far away and find a safe place to advance to the Heavenly Scenery Stage.

The plot was indeed very clever, and even his scam had attracted many Loose Cultivators in just about two days.

"That’s pretty impressive." Gu Shanhai could only give a bit of praise; the opponent was indeed talented, regardless of whether he was a descendant of the Juxia Sect or not.

"Come on, talk about the opportunity. If it’s really something valuable, sparing your life isn’t out of the question," Gu Shanhai said, half-jokingly mocking.

"Please, Elder Wude, take the great vow of the path, if I..."

"That’s too much trouble; I’ll send you on your way," Gu Shanhai said, indicating for him to take the vow. He feared being struck by lightning, so he preferred to deal with him rather than take the chance.

Did he really think that at this point, there was still room to negotiate terms with him?

"Speak or die," for this so-called opportunity, Gu Shanhai didn’t care at all. If he received a whimsical hint, he might have taken it seriously, but without any clarification, it seemed fate had decided it was irrelevant whether he took it or not.

"Wait, I’ll speak, I’ll speak!" Seeing that Gu Shanhai was about to act, the bloodied man hurriedly shouted, his voice filled with frustration.

He originally intended to protect his life through a sacred oath so that Gu Shanhai wouldn’t go back on his promise.

"You should’ve cooperated earlier, speak up now." The bloodied man knew he had no choice now — speak or die. Looking at his opponent’s resolute demeanor, he wasn’t sure if it was genuine or a facade.

Yet, it was most likely genuine, given Gu Shanhai’s status in the Great Mahayana Truth Sect, he wanted for nothing, so his attitude toward this opportunity was naturally indifferent.

The bloodied man had no choice but to honestly reveal the situation.

It was about an ancient ruin he had discovered, which contained ancient methods that could transform someone completely, not only reconstructing their Root Bone but also enhancing their intelligence.

However, the cultivation process was rather bloody and ruthless. For example, he was currently cultivating a Divine Skill called "Meat and Bone". If completed, it would greatly strengthen his regenerative ability, though he wouldn’t be able to regenerate completely from a drop of blood. The technique involved skinning, flesh carving, and bone scraping, and right now, he had only reached the skinning phase.

As for this peculiar natural phenomenon, what he intended to create was not a mountain of corpses or a sea of blood but rather a patch of blood-soiled earth, in his destiny’s lineage that could help him achieve a breakthrough during the Heavenly Scenery Stage, a special natural scenery that would provide a breakthrough in Divine Skills.

From this explanation, Gu Shanhai could confirm that the other party was mostly truthful or was hiding some details, but based on the description, it gave Gu Shanhai the impression of a demonic path.

Regular self-experimentation, being harsh to oneself, even using his own flesh and blood for cloning experiments, but never quite to the extent of skinning, flesh carving, and bone scraping— at most, it involved planting some flowers, opening up the belly, and tampering with the viscera.

"You seem to be observant and quick to yield. I’m a man of my word, so I won’t kill you," Gu Shanhai declared, his demeanor that of a righteous adventurer who upheld order.

The bloodied man was relieved, thankful that his gamble paid off.

"Thank you, Elder Wude, I..." Before the bloodied man could finish his words, he suddenly saw a huge black dot falling from the sky. Upon closer inspection, his vision darkened — it wasn’t just some black dot; it was a Giant God Mecha.

"Elder, is this the remnant from the Juxia Sect?" a male voice came from inside the Giant God Mecha.

"Yes, that’s him. Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly, then you can dispose of him afterwards," Gu Shanhai pointed at the half-remaining bloodied man and instructed.

"Wait, Elder Wude, didn’t you say you wouldn’t kill me?!!" the bloodied man shouted hurriedly.

"Right, I said I wouldn’t kill you. I never said I would let you go, and moreover, I only represented myself. I can’t intervene if others want to kill you," Gu Shanhai spread his hands, indicating he hadn’t lied, but rather it was a misunderstanding on the bloodied man’s part.

"You’re not keeping your word, you’re not... mmph~" The bloodied man roared, only to be abruptly silenced as the Giant God Mecha grabbed his remaining upper body and conveniently gagged him.

"Do you have any other orders, Elder? If not, I shall take this scum back to the sect first," asked the disciple inside the Giant God Mecha respectfully.

"No more orders, hurry back and finish your task; you might even earn some merits," Gu Shanhai had no further instructions.

"Merits I dare not claim, it would be sufficient to have my faults overlooked," the disciple knew he had made a mistake, not being pursued was fortunate enough, let alone gaining merits, wishful thinking.

"Since that’s the case, then I shall take my leave first."

Gu Shanhai had no requests, so he certainly had to leave. Remaining could lead to mishaps, so it was prudent to bring the man back to the sect quickly, thus he flew away in the Giant God Mecha.

’Perfect, I’ll check out that ancient ruin, such quirky stuff might just suit me.’ Gu Shanhai was not in a rush to go to the Heavenly Ghost Tomb, as a little detour to broaden his horizons wouldn’t hurt.
