Bai Xiaowen looked thoughtful and remained silent.
Gu Yulian continued: "Why don't you join the Blood God Palace, so that you have the capital to fight against the Infinite Sword Sect. In time, not to mention the heads of the ancient town, they are the lives of the leaders of the Infinite Sword Sect, so what's the difficulty in taking them?"
The spirit world rules prompt message sounded:
"As a disciple of the Yin Concubine, Gu Yulian, the young master of the Blood God Palace, has sent you a formal invitation. Do you agree? If you choose yes, you will leave the righteous camp and join the evil martial arts camp. Warning: This operation will affect your status in the two camps.
The reputation in the world and the favorability of important figures in the spiritual world will have unknown effects, so please choose carefully."
Bai Xiaowen took a deep breath: "How can I not avenge my father's murder? Even if I join the Blood God Palace, Bai will not hesitate." He directly chose "Yes".
Spirit World Rules Tips:
"You have joined the evil faction."
"Your reputation in the righteous camp has declined, and your current reputation level is hostile (hidden). This hostile relationship will take effect when your identity in the new camp is revealed."
"Your reputation in the evil camp: Blood God Palace has been improved. Your current reputation level is neutral."
"Gu Yulian's favorability towards you has increased. The current favorability level is: Friendly."
Gu Yulian smiled and said, "I knew Mr. Bai would make a wise choice."
Bai Xiaowen said: "We only established a temporary cooperative relationship based on a common enemy. We can help each other without affecting our respective main goals."
Gu Yulian raised her eyebrows slightly: "What does Mr. Bai mean by this? Do you think that the Blood God Palace that you and I represent are equal entities?"
Bai Xiaowen said calmly: "If you can fully grasp the power of the Blood God Palace, of course I dare not pretend to be equal. The question is, can you?"
Gu Yulian looked at Bai Xiaowen carefully for a while, then smiled and said: "Seriously, nothing can be hidden from Mr. Bai's eyes. Well, I admit that the interior of the Blood God Palace is still unstable, and you and I are partners with equal status. I need
You help me seize the power of the Blood God Palace. In return, I will help you take revenge."
"Concubine Yin should not be in the Blood God Palace." Bai Xiaowen tried again.
This time Gu Yulian did not mince words and nodded readily: "Master has been away for a few months."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "As expected."
Bai Xiaowen deduced that Concubine Yin was not in the Blood God Palace, which caused instability within the Blood God Palace. Gu Yulian did not have all the power in the Blood God Palace, which was also an inference derived from this. If Gu Yulian really told the truth in the Blood God Palace,
With the huge power of the Blood God Palace, she would not have such a strong desire to recruit Bai Xiaowen, an unknown person.
"Where did Concubine Yin go?" Bai Xiaowen noticed that when Gu Yulian mentioned Concubine Yin, she used the word "leave" instead of "missing", indicating that she knew Concubine Yin's whereabouts.
Gu Yulian sighed: "This is Master's responsibility, Mr. Bai, don't ask anymore. In short, this time the Righteous Alliance is besieging Blood God Peak, we can't count on Master."
"You want to take charge of the Blood God Palace. What capital do you have?" Bai Xiaowen asked directly, "There are three peaks and four valleys. Among the seven departments of the Blood God Palace, how many leaders support you?"
Gu Yulian's expression dimmed slightly, and she shook her head: "Master left in a hurry, leaving only the oral instructions and the key to the arsenal, asking me to take charge of the seven departments of the Blood God Palace. But the seven leaders each have their own thoughts, and for me, the young master,
I don’t think so at all.”
Gu Yulian's gloomy look made even Li Shuyi, a woman, feel sad and sympathize. However, Bai Xiaowen was still rude and said: "In other words, you have no foundation at present, just follow
It’s almost like an emperor holding a jade seal passed down to the country but having no soldiers or courage in his hands.”
Gu Yulian bit her lip and nodded gently, saying, "That's why I need you to help me."
Bai Xiaowen was about to speak when he suddenly received another reminder.
"Heroic side quest [Lord of the Shrine] starts."
"[Mission goal: Assist Gu Yulian to obtain the support of more than half of the seven departments of the Blood God Palace.]"
"[Task difficulty: b]."
"[Mission period: None (equal to the remaining time you stay in the Sword Song Plane).]"
"[Task reward: unknown]."
"Since we are partners, of course I will help you. However, I want equal remuneration after you achieve what you want." Bai Xiaowen chose to accept the task of "Lord of the Shrine".
Gu Yulian said happily: "That's natural."
Footsteps of varying severity sounded in the distance. Bai Xiaowen and Gu Yulian noticed the approach of the crowd almost at the same time. Considering the number and location of the enemy, they should undoubtedly be masters of the five sects of the Righteous Alliance.
"It's not suitable to stay here for a long time." Bai Xiaowen said.
Gu Yulian said: "You guys come with me." She tiptoed and jumped directly into the heart-washing pool, like a mermaid, diving to the bottom of the pool.
Although Bai Xiaowen and the other three were surprised, they had no time to ask any more questions and jumped into the water to follow. The four of them held their breath and swam in the water.
Bai Xiaowen's mental power sensed Gu Yulian's movements. She seemed to be playing around somewhere at the edge of the pool. Suddenly the pool water began to flow, and Gu Yulian also dived in along with the direction of the water flow. Bai Xiaowen understood and led
Han Xu and Li Shuyi followed closely.
The four people passed through a secret door with a water valve, and then snorkeled for a while. The terrain gradually became higher. After a few minutes, the four people stepped out of the water one after another.
Bai Xiaowen wiped a handful of water drops on his face, and when he saw Gu Yulian hibiscus coming out of the water with a subtle and charming look, his heart moved again. He quickly recited the five-character mantra in his heart:
"You are a piece of shit, you are a piece of shit..."
Seeing Bai Xiaowen's lips moving, Gu Yulian asked in surprise: "What sutra are you reciting?"
Bai Xiaowen coughed: "Nothing. Where are we now?"
Gu Yulian was diverted from the topic and answered: "This is the secret passage leading to the Blood God Peak, and it is also connected to the arsenal of the Blood God Palace. No one knows the location of this secret passage except the past palace masters."
The four of them left the waterway and moved forward along the secret passage. Gu Yulian walked at the front, her water-soaked white dress tightly fitting her body, revealing her curvy figure, which made people dare not look too much.
This secret passage was actually extremely long. I don't know how long I walked and how many forks in the road I passed. Gu Yulian finally stopped: "We are here." She took out the flint and lit the whale oil lamp hanging on the wall.
In front of you is a three-meter-high gate. The entire body is made of bronze and is extremely thick. In the middle of the bronze heavy door, there are two fist-sized grooves.
"What's behind the door?" Li Shuyi asked.
Gu Yulian took out a jade ball, split it into two parts with a slight twist, then embedded them in the grooves, turned them gently, and said with a smile: "That's my sincerity."
Bai Xiaowen's heart moved: "Behind this door is the arsenal of the Blood God Palace."
