Chapter 85: The Dread of Rumors
🕑 Added 2023-06-05 20:42:37 +0000 UTCHeavily mistaken, Gu He got it all wrong.
How could the other person be just a pretty face relying on his looks?
He is a powerful individual, an extraordinary powerhouse!
Initially, when the other person claimed to have saved Yun Yun, Gu He remained skeptical and unwilling to believe.
But now...
He finally realizes that he has been a "clown" all along.
The other person is not only handsome but also incredibly strong.
He is not someone Gu He can compare himself to or afford to offend.
Now that Gu He has awakened, he feels that it's too late, too late for everything, and he's done for.
Yun Yun has given him numerous chances, but he has been foolish, not cherishing them like a fool.
In his realization, Gu He pleads desperately, kneeling with his soul, "Master Hun Xiu, I now understand my mistake, please spare me! I beg you."
"I was wrong, truly wrong."
No one can remain calm when faced with death, not even the Pill King Gu He.
He is quite proud, and it is because of his pride that he cannot die, and he yearns to stay alive.
He is currently a sixth-grade Alchemist, and he has a bright future ahead of him. His achievements will not stop at being a sixth-grade Alchemist or a Dou Wang.
That's why...
He can't die!
He still has a future, and he has to continue writing his legendary path as the Pill King Gu He.
"Begging for mercy?"
Hun Tiandi looks coldly at Gu He and says, "Is it not too late to ask for mercy now?"
"I, standing at the peak of the continent, generally do not bother myself with insects and ants."
"But you insisted on seeking death, disturbing me with your incessant noise. Since you sought death, I will grant your wish. Spare you? What about your previous arrogant attitude?"
Gu He pleads, "Great Lord, please treat me like a fart and let me go! I truly realize my mistake."
"If solving problems were as simple as admitting one's mistakes, the world would not have the order of the strong dominating," Hun Tiandi says.
Changing Hun Tiandi's mind about killing him is not an easy task for Gu He. He turns his head and looks at Yun Yun, saying, "Master Yun Yun, I was wrong, please save me!"
"I..."
Upon hearing Gu He's plea, Yun Yun's body trembles, and he also wants to save Gu He.
But...
When he looks at Hun Tiandi, Yun Yun realizes he cannot intervene!
How to intervene?
Why does it feel strange?
Driving on a broken road?
The cold expression of Hun Tiandi leaves Yun Yun at a loss for words, choking on her plea.
Before this...
Yun Yun had hinted to Gu He numerous times, wanting to give him a chance.
But Gu He kept crushing those chances!
Now that he knows the extent of Hun Xiu's strength, he regrets it.
But what can she do?
Once there was a sincere opportunity in front of him, but he didn't have the time to cherish it. Now that he knows the other person's strength, he regrets it.
What is happening?
Yun Yun can't save him either!
She already owes a debt of gratitude to Hun Tiandi, not knowing how to repay it.
And now, with this situation arising, her guilt is even greater!
She wants to speak up!
But she doesn't know how to begin.
...
At this moment, Hun Tiandi speaks, "The person I want to kill? No one can save them. Do you really think Yun Yun can save you?"
"I must say, you are too naive."
"No... I refuse to accept it!"
Upon hearing Hun Tiandi's words, despair fills Gu He's heart.
He quickly thinks of something and says, "Great Lord, I am an Alchemist, a sixth-grade Alchemist."
"My potential is limitless, with extraordinary future achievements. As long as you spare me, I will be at your service."
In Gu He's view,
A sixth-grade Alchemist with boundless potential is not someone anyone can refuse. The other party is indeed strong and impressive.
But being powerful doesn't mean they don't need an Alchemist.
As long as the other party releases him, he is willing to be their subordinate, a vanguard.
The influence of a sixth-grade Alchemist is significant, enough to rival a second-rate force.
"Hehe..."
Hun Tiandi chuckles, finding it amusing.
Hun Tiandi says, "Do you think I would need a mere sixth-grade Alchemist like you?"
"You are too confident, like a frog at the bottom of a well, completely unaware of the vastness of this world."
As the words fall, Hun Tiandi doesn't say much more, nor does he give Gu He another chance to "bark like a dog."
He raises his hand
Preparing to send Gu He's soul into the void, it may be a bit insignificant, but it's better than nothing.
"No..."
Darkness completely envelops Gu He, and he sees nothing but pitch blackness, with a black hole appearing before his eyes.
Gu He understands that this is the path to the depths of hell.
"No... I refuse to accept it!"
Gu He shrinks back, expressing his extreme unwillingness. "Rumors have deceived me!"
"Rumors have deceived me!"
"Rumors..."
"..."
...
Gu He regrets it. He heard rumors about Yun Yun and, after confirming with her that there was nothing between them, he still didn't want to believe it and went to trouble Hun Tiandi!
He provoked him!
Even though the other party didn't bother with him, he didn't care.
Yun Yun asked him to apologize.
After receiving Yun Yun's intense "hints," his jealousy was too strong, and he paid no attention to it.
Instinctively, he absolutely believed that Yun Yun was biased towards Hun Tiandi, and he relentlessly pushed until the situation escalated and the other party finally made a move.
Looking back now,
He was just a big fool, a clown. Could someone who is treated by Yun Yun as an esteemed guest, someone held in high regard, be merely a handsome face who relies on charm to get by?
It's impossible to think that way.
And because his jealousy was too strong, he didn't notice.
Now...
When he realizes it, everything is too late.
It's all too late.
If back then, he had done nothing and stayed in his alchemy hall, not causing trouble for Hun Tiandi.
Not coming...
Then nothing would have happened now.
He would still be an elder of Misty Cloud Sect.
He would still be Gu He, the Alchemy King of the Jia Ma Empire.
But now, everything is gone.
"Rumors have deceived me!"
...
Gu He is completely enveloped by darkness, his soul completely consumed!
But Gu He's voice echoes throughout Misty Cloud Sect, lingering for a long time. The sound is filled with unwillingness, yet helplessness!
At this moment, the disciples raise their heads and look towards the direction of the back mountain, whispering to themselves, "It seems like I heard Elder Gu He's voice."
Liu Ling looks towards the direction of the back mountain, hearing the sound of unwillingness echoing throughout Cloud Mist Sect. Liu Ling's heart skips a beat and says, "Could it be that something happened to my teacher? My teacher is a sixth-grade Alchemist, a Dou Wang. Even the Sect Master Yun Yun treats my teacher with respect and courtesy. How could something happen to my teacher?"
...
Elder Yun Ling: "It seems like I heard Gu He's voice. Rumors have deceived him? What is Gu He saying?"
Yun Ling probably couldn't have imagined that his attempt to undermine Yun Yun's position in Misty Cloud Sect would lead to Gu He's downfall!
Rumors are fearsome, and people's hearts are fickle!
