I Have Awakened The Deduction System

354 A Thousand-mile Pursuit

Liu Youcheng seemed to have received a signal from Shangguan Fei, or perhaps for some other reason.

He didn’t choose to overtake it immediately. Instead, he slowed down and kept close to the green spirit nether hedgehog.

The green spirit nether hedgehog sensed it.

However, it had already used all of its strength, yet it was still unable to shake off the five-clawed Golden Dragon.

!!

Helpless, he could only bear with it.

After all, the alliance was still there, so it wasn’t good to fall out. Otherwise, it was likely to have the opposite effect and even cause both sides to suffer.

Of course, the nether demon had other plans in mind, but only it knew the details.

Thinking of the plan, the green spirit nether hedgehog finally smiled.

His smile was vicious and sinister.

It didn’t notice the killing intent in Shangguan Fei’s eyes, who was standing on the back of the five-clawed Golden Dragon.

Shangguan Fei’s thin lips trembled imperceptibly, a sign of his divine sense.

The target of the voice transmission was, of course, the five-clawed Golden Dragon.

It was obvious that while the nether demon was thinking about the plan, Shangguan Fei and Liu Youcheng were also having some kind of secret conversation.

Both sides had their own plans as they quickly flew out of the forest.

…

It was the only Island in the boundless Qing Sea, which was ten thousand miles wide.

The area of the island where Qingshi Cty was located was not considered large.

After all, in this world, other than the mutated sea beasts, there were only a few hundred magical beasts living, so there was not much land needed.

The Qing Emperor, who was afraid of being entangled by karma, was not willing to kill them directly. However, he would definitely not leave them any living space either.

The land that existed in this world was extremely small.

The green spirit nether hedgehog, which was running at full speed, took Shangguan Fei and the five-clawed Golden Dragon and crossed the edge of the lush jungle in less than half an incense stick’s time. They were about to reach the coast of the island.

Gu Mingzhou was sitting cross-legged on a rock above the water with his eyes closed.

He did not know that danger was coming!

He didn’t know how long he had been sitting here, but the corner of his robe had been wet from the splashing tide, so his whole body was somewhat wet, revealing a bit of a sorry state.

His face was pale and his eyes were tightly shut.

The splashing water fell on his hair and soaked his robe, but he was unmoved.

He sat quietly in the middle of the waves that were constantly beating on the beach. It was as if he had blended in with the surrounding night, which was very strange.

There was day and night in this world, but there was no change between the sun and the moon. Only in the night sky, there would be some stars.

Even with the starlight, the night sky was still very dark.

Just like the island’s coast now, it was gloomy, the sound of the tide was constant, and the sound of insects was gradually heard. It was very creepy.

And it was in this terrifying environment that Gu Mingzhou, who had almost fused with the darkness, finally opened his tightly shut eyes slowly and let out a breath of turbid air.

“I guessed right, they really came!” Gu Mingzhou’s long and narrow eyes shot out a sharp light as he muttered to himself.

He quickly looked away and turned to look at the black stick, which was stuck in the sand that was submerged by the sea.

A black spear that seemed to be dancing with flames shot out from his hand and instantly pierced into the center of the thorns.

Bang!

The black stick that the long spear struck was instantly shattered.

The long spear immediately changed its direction, and its power increased instead of decreasing, instantly stabbing toward another thorn!

The unknown substance flew in all directions and fell into the surrounding tide, causing ripples.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” The one who could not be seen and only heard was naturally Zhao Qiankun.

Previously, Gu Mingzhou had a dispute with Zhao Qiankun over whether to cultivate the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique or not.

He made a decision under Jing Wudao’s advice.

Just as Zhao Qiankun had said, he had no choice but to give up his stubbornness and go against his will to do what he was unwilling to do.

If he didn’t improve his cultivation with the help of the Heavenly Devouring Technique, he would be killed by Shangguan Fei and the others who coveted the Qing Emperor’s inheritance!

Between life and death, he could only choose to live.

Not only could he not die, but he also had to live well.

If he wanted to leave this place alive, he had to choose to cultivate the Nine Turns Heavenly Devouring Technique.

This was the only way to quickly raise his cultivation and defeat his opponent!

As Gu Mingzhou was devouring He Youliang, the green spirit nether hedgehog’s spikes suddenly shot out again.

Fortunately, with his previous experience, he had made preparations in advance this time, which saved him from a disaster and allowed him to devour He Youliang’s cultivation safely.

He Youliang, whose cultivation base had been devoured, died on the spot. His soul dispersed, leaving behind only his skin!

With the second devouring, he completely stabilized his newly built Dao Foundation and directly entered the peak of the mortal realm. He became a cultivator at the peak of the mortal realm, just like Shangguan Fei and the green spirit nether hedgehog.

After making his decision, Gu Mingzhou’s confidence increased. He was ready to take the risk and carry out the plan.

He wanted to directly turn the dark into the light and use his strength to defeat the strong!

Gu Mingzhou was prepared to stop hiding and launch a sneak attack to defeat them one by one.

...

He was prepared to show himself and fight them openly with his sword and spear!

In the past, Zhao Qiankun would have definitely stepped forward to stop such a crazy idea.

It seemed that because of the previous argument, Zhao Qiankun did not stop Gu Mingzhou even though he did not agree with him.

Gu Mingzhou had deliberately placed the thorns next to him in order to attract the green spirit nether hedgehog.

It turned out that his speculation was correct. Shangguan Fei and the others had indeed caught up.

“It’s too time-consuming to catch and break through this place sneakily. Since I’ve chosen the Heavenly Devouring Technique, I have to improve my cultivation level and leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, Xu Fengyu might become even stronger!” Gu Mingzhou said to Zhao Qiankun.

“There are some things that I have to make clear to you in advance. If you were to deal with any one of them, there might be a possibility of winning, but the odds of one versus three…” Zhao Qiankun was silent for a long time before he spoke again.

“It’s too late to regret it now!” two black shadows flew out of the forest.

The black shadow looked strange in the dark night, as it shuttled through the void.

They were the green spirit nether hedgehog and Liu Youcheng, who had revealed his true form as a five-clawed Golden Dragon.

Gu Mingzhou did not look at the two of them. He looked directly at the figure on the five-clawed Golden dragon’s back. It was Shangguan Fei!

...

The Dragon and the Phoenix were the top divine beasts in the world and were even known as the leaders of all beasts. One could imagine how arrogant they were. Even in the billions of years of history, there were very few cultivators who could tame Dragons and Phoenixes and control them.

How could Gu Mingzhou not be surprised that Shangguan Fei, a cultivator at the peak of the mortal realm, could be carried by a five-clawed Golden Dragon?

Even if Liu Youcheng had a close relationship with Shangguan Fei…

However, the noble five-clawed Golden Dragon would not allow a human to stand on his back and use him as a means of transportation, right?

Dragons had their own pride. Even if they didn’t hate other living beings, especially humans who took over the world, they would still hold contempt and disdain for them.

This point could be seen in Liu Youcheng’s silent personality. He wasn’t slow-witted or inarticulate. He was disdainful, or rather, he was too lazy to care about others.

It was uncertain whether Liu Youcheng’s cultivation had reached the peak of the mortal realm, but the divine beasts had a unique advantage. Even the divine Dragon of the mortal realm could compete with cultivators at the peak of the mortal realm.
