Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549: Summoning the Demon’s Lair

On the way back, Gu Ning felt a sense of lightness throughout her body.

She hadn’t known what it was like to be herself for many years, wandering through the rest of her life in a daze since her master’s disappearance.

Just now, after playfully scuffling with those little ones, she seemed to have found the feeling of years past, and her mood became quite delightful.

Nobody knew that the Sky-Slaying Demon Emperor, who once made the entire Earth Immortal realm tremble, actually enjoyed pretending to be a simple village girl and running around everywhere.

Especially this feeling of playing roles in life, Gu Ning found it quite enchanting.

Returning to the demon lair, Gu Ning saw that everyone was busy with their own affairs and did not disturb them. She sat by a stone outside the courtyard with a jug of wine, drinking and examining the seed in her hand.

The seed was only the size of a thumb, pitch-black all over. If it weren’t for those guys fighting desperately over it, Gu Ning wouldn’t have even bothered to pay attention to it.

But since this thing was brought out from the secret land and was even contested by a group of Immortal Emperors, it definitely wasn’t simple.

“A battlefield from the era of the ancient heavens could produce such a seed; it’s not simple… Thank goodness there’s no aura of the prism space, otherwise, it would have been dangerous.”

At first, she also suspected that the Demon Emperor Palace was doing the bidding of the remnants of those alien races, but this seed did not have any special aura of the prism space, so that possibility was greatly reduced.

But she couldn’t be too certain, as the person behind the scenes had yet to show themselves, and this opponent could even annihilate the mighty ancient heavens; she had to be even more careful.

“Perhaps this thing will be of use to Little White… let me see if there’s any karmic connection.”

As Gu Ning spoke, she tried to use her abilities to observe if the seed had any karmic ties, only to be shocked to discover that she couldn’t see through the seed at all!

“Indeed not simple, even I can’t discern your karma; it seems this can only be given to Little White now?”

Gu Ning narrowed her eyes, fiddling with the seed in her hand.

Just then, Chen and Gong Yuxin hurried over with a few people. As soon as Gu Ning saw them, she recognized them and was also astounded.

These guys had already attained the strength of Daluo Golden Immortals?

And why was Huseng, who shouldn’t be here, also present?

After all, it was she who had personally sent Huseng away!

Some memories surfaced before her eyes, and Gu Ning was somewhat absent-minded.

At this moment, AnRan and the others, who came with Chen, also saw Gu Ning and were excited.

“Mr. Gu!”

Zhuang Huanling called softly and rushed over, full of respect.

Having followed Jiang Xiaobai on their journey, they naturally knew of Gu Ning’s existence. They knew back then that Gu Ning was extraordinary, but now they couldn’t even see through Gu Ning’s cultivation; it was even more terrifying!

The three of them were absolutely not presumptuous, standing quietly in front of Gu Ning like children.

“You recognize me?”

Chen raised an eyebrow: “Since that’s the case, I’ll leave them to you. These few guys came looking for Little White.”

“I know, go and tend to your affairs.”

Gu Ning nodded indifferently.

Chen didn’t say much, turned around with Gong Yuxin to deal with other matters in the demon lair. But as he turned, Gu Ning’s eyes fell upon Chen’s retreating figure.

“This guy… I can’t see through him either?”

Gu Ning was startled. She had just been using her abilities to observe the karma of the seed, not yet having retracted her divine power, and subconsciously swept a glance at Chen only to discover that his entire body was shrouded in a gray fog!

Such a bizarre scene tightened Gu Ning’s heart.

Whose destiny would be enveloped in such gray fog?

Not a trace of vitality, only filled with the aura of death!

“Mr. Gu, what’s wrong?”

Zhuang Huanling turned around curiously and looked but noticed nothing.

“Nothing… How did you all get here, and how have you been these days?”

Towards these youngsters, Gu Ning was still quite gentle and indulgent, after all, back in the days of Tianxuan Continent, he had watched them grow along with Jiang Xiaobai.

Upon hearing Gu Ning’s question, AnRan, the chubby kid, immediately started chattering nonstop about how boring they were on Tianxuan Continent after Jiang Xiaobai left and how much they wanted to go out but couldn’t.

Later, a yellow-robed Taoist found them, saying Jiang Xiaobai was now in big trouble and needed their help, tricking the three of them into believing him, and they followed him to the Earth Immortal realm.

That yellow-robed Taoist seemed to have sky-high connections, somehow managed to place them in a super-force, making them saint sons and daughters, and mysteriously increased their strength to become Daluo Golden Immortals in a short time!

Lately, they’d been cultivating in the Earth Immortal realm, waiting to meet Jiang Xiaobai and assist him.

Hearing that it was arranged by the yellow-robed Taoist, Gu Ning rubbed his forehead.

“What’s the matter, Mr. Gu, why act like this? Could it be that the old guy is not a good person?”

AnRan raised his eyebrows and asked.

“Yes, he’s indeed not a good thing, a terrible old geezer. I must give him a fierce beating whenever I get the chance!”

Gu Ning said with a smile and then arranged for everyone to enter the small courtyard to start chatting and shooting the breeze.

Jiang Xiaobai was still in closed-door cultivation, and it was unknown when he would come out, so they could only wait.

Time flew by, and Gu Ning listened to AnRan and the others talk about the Earth Immortal realm, occasionally laughing heartily at the funny parts.

Gu Ning’s true self was also slowly starting to reveal itself to everyone.

This led to AnRan and the others exclaiming, “Holy shit, so Mr. Gu is actually like this!”

They hadn’t seen him for a long time and he seemed like a completely different person; was it the annihilation of human nature or the collapse of morality!

“Why do you guys insist on not letting go of the little ones from the Dragon Clan, and even capturing the young prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace?”

Gu Ning sneered: “The Dragon Clan has suffered endlessly over the years, being bullied all the time. What, are you also bullying them now?”

Hearing this, Zhuang Huanling said seriously, “We know the Dragon Clan are no good!”

“Back then, still on Tianxuan Continent, the Void Dragon World forcibly took Ao Yan away, causing Ao Yan and Jiang Xiaobai to be separated. Those guys even threatened Ao Yan using Jiang Xiaobai. If the Void Dragon Clan could do that, could the true Dragon Clan be any better?”

“Later, we also learned that Ao Yan has extremely strong bloodlines. If the real Dragon Clan found out, they would definitely try to snatch it away. Who knows if they would attack Jiang Xiaobai or force Jiang Xiaobai into causing trouble?”

“So we decided to take care of the Dragon Clan first. That way, if they really make a move against Ao Yan, we can use our identities and the prestige we’ve built over time to suppress the Dragon Clan!”

AnRan also nodded, “Exactly, the sister-in-law definitely can’t be bullied again, these Dragon Clan folks are no good.”

Thud!

At this moment, the door of Ao Cheng’s room was pushed open, and he swaggered out.

“What do you mean the Dragon Clan aren’t good people? I’m also from the Dragon Clan. Though not pure-blooded, I’m still part of them. How am I not a good person?”
