Chapter 1713: So this is Gu City

The more he looked, the more likely it seemed!

Bai Shou stood in the air, hands at his waist. A sphere of pure white light really did whirl where his palms met.

The home of the Gu Family really was a land of delights.

Everyone here was an imperial expert, so rulers were nothing at all. A holy dragon soul, a treasure no one had seen in millions of years, had appeared here too.

And now…

Here were two super saiyans, complete with energy blasts, and the one with the red aura could even use the Kamehameha.

Ye Zichen was now eagerly waiting for Bai Shou to fire his Kamehameha; he wanted to see whether it was as fierce and powerful as Goku’s.

Surrounded in surging blue light, Lan Tu sensed the Kamehameha’s power too, and his waves of aura exploded with even greater intensity.

“If you showed me a Kaio-Ken, I’d really be convinced,” Ye Zichen muttered to himself. This was already happening, and even the Kamehameha, something which couldn’t possibly exist, was playing out before him. Ye Zichen simply decided to accept all of this as reality, and he was now eager to see what happened next.

“Stop!” A dignified voice suddenly resounded throughout the city. Unless they were mistaken, this voice belonged to none other than the head of the Gu Family, Gu Xuande.

The Kamehameha in Bai Shou’s hands instantly dispersed. Both he and Lan Tu withdrew their Super Saiyan auras back into their body.

“Lan Tu, bring him to the tower!”

“Yes, sir!” Lan Tu cupped his fists and bowed. Then, he instantly appeared beside Ye Zichen and gestured for him to follow. “The family head has requested to see you.”

He never got to see the Kamehameha. Ye Zichen thought this was rather a pity.

He grumpily pursed his lips, then glanced at Bai Shou and said, “Brother, I think that had you unleashed it, you would have won.”

“Young warrior, you’ve got good eyes. Had I unleashed my attack, at Lan Tu’s level, he would have struggled to take it.” Hearing Ye Zichen’s evaluation of him, Bai Shou was visibly delighted.

“Hmph. If you’re not convinced, you’re welcome to challenge me again tomorrow!” Lan Tu snorted, and when he looked at Ye Zichen, his expression was less friendly than before.

Lan Tu and Bai Shou were old rivals. He had to admit that Bai Shou’s Kamehameha was enough to threaten him, but hearing someone say he wasn’t Bai Shou’s match left him rather displeased.

“Hey, if you could use the Kaio-Ken, I’d bet on your victory instead.” Ye Zichen grinned, but Lan Tu’s eyes flashed with confusion. It seemed he didn’t know about the Kaio-Ken’s existence.

Ye Zichen picked up on this, then sighed in mild disappointment.

And here he’d thought that the Gu Family had seen “Dragon Ball Super: War of the Universes. Lan Tu sure was disappointing. He couldn’t even use the Kaio-Ken!

Under Lan Tu’s guidance, Ye Zichen and Gu Luolin entered the city.

After entering the city, Ye ZIchen could still sense many Gu clansmen’s resentment. Their presences swept by him, and their auras bore down on him, exerting a bit of pressure.

Lan Tu noticed this behavior, but made no effort to stop them. If not for the family head ordering him not to harm Ye Zichen, he would have been first in line to challenge Ye Zichen to a duel.

“What a little troublemaker you are!” After ordering Lan Tu and Bai Shou to back down, Gu Xuande pressed his lips into a smile. On the surface, his expression was that of an elder rebuking a naughty child.

However, Qing Li knew her husband well, and she could tell he was angry enough to burst.

It seemed she’d have to pay extra attention to Ye Zichen and Gu Xuande. If her husband really lost his temper, she’d have to stay alert and prevent him from hurting Ye Zichen.

……

……

……

“This place sure has style!” Within Gu City, Ye Zichen saw nothing but tightly packed tall buildings.

In fact, he even had the sense that he’d come to the wrong place and that this was actually a city of the Modern Realm. The tall buildings pierced right through the clouds, and the streets were flat and paved. On both sides of the street, the sidewalks had various plants to add a little green to their surroundings.

Add a few cars, and this really would seem like a small-sized city of the Modern Realm.

“Alliance Head Ye, this way, please.” Lan Tu gestured to Ye Zichen, who trailed after him.

A tower so tall, its top was obscured by clouds, stood before him. Ye Zichen had noticed the tower before even entering the city; it first caught his attention when he broke the city signboard.

The tower was so tall that even when Ye Zichen stood in the air, he couldn’t see its end.

Was he going to have to walk all the way up to the top?

The answer was, of course, no. When Ye Zichen saw their transportation method, he practically went insane.

An elevator!

This place actually had elevators!

“Gu Luolin, were these here when you were born?” As he entered the elevator, Ye Zichen couldn’t help but ask. Honestly, Ye Zichen thought himself capable of accepting quite a lot.

But since entering the Gu Family’s dimension, it had just been one shock after another. Gu Luolin had become like a little teacher of sorts, answering all sorts of questions and clearing up his doubts.

“That’s right, they’ve been here this whole time. They’re called ‘elevators’!” Gu Luolin said with a hint of pride. “My grandpa connected the electrical power in the sky to the elevators, allowing them to run in perpetuity.”

F*ck, even the name was exactly the same.

They used the electricity in the sky to power them? Not bad at all.

These were obviously items of his Modern Realm, yet they were here of all places. The towering buildings, the anime Guo Luolin watched and the wuxia s she’d read… This place was halfway to being the Modern Realm.

Just like the Outside and the First Era….

This place was nearly identical to the Modern Realm.

Ye Zichen currently had the impulse to, upon seeing Gu Xuande, grab him by the neck and interrogate him: why, exactly, were things from the Modern World appearing here?

Could it be that he… magic

Had been to the Modern Realm before? Or that the Modern Realm was no longer sealed in ice, and that Gu Xuande had gone there to steal its technology?

If it was the former, that’d be fine, but if it was the latter, if the Modern Realm had been unsealed, he’d find himself in an entirely different century.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened. Lan Tu still walked in front, leading the way ahead.

After passing through several hallways, Ye Zichen saw a wide open platform amidst the clouds. On it stood three people, their backs facing him.

“Family Head, Alliance Head Ye has arrived.”

“You can go back down.”

It was the same voice. The speaker was the same one Ye Zichen had spoken to earlier.

Ye Zichen’s gaze locked onto him. Gu Xuande was facing the other way. Ye Zichen strode up to him, rolling up his sleeves as he walked.

He had to go all out. Even if Gu Xuande was a half-step transcendent, he had to get answers no matter what.

But just as he was about to reach for Gu Xuande’s neck….

“Zichen, don’t be rude!” A gentle, familiar voice with a hint of sternness resounded in Ye Zichen’s ears.

When he turned, he saw Ye Rong glaring at him furiously. “Mom!”

Ye Zichen, who’d just been determined to interrogate Gu Xuande, instantly deflated. He drooped, lowering his head like a guilty child.
