Chapter 257: Emperor Gu Shows up and Returns to the Abyss (Two in One)

The county guard and the soldiers left in a hurry, as if a joke had been made. They mobilized troops and mobilized people, but nothing was accomplished.

Song Changming turned around and returned to the house, not paying much attention to the little prince.

The other party does not have the power to threaten him at all, and can only add insignificant episodes to his daily life.

After thinking about it, with Gu Wenhui's shrewdness, he should be able to properly solve the matter after learning about it.

No matter how smart a wise man is, there will always be times when he is secretive and sparse. What's more, after Gu Wenhui became the king of a country, state affairs were very heavy every day. The little prince Gu Yang was the result of his secrets and sparseness.

"In a while, I'm going to go outside the territory." Song Changming said to several people.

Su Qingqing's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Master, are you going to the bottomless abyss again?"

"Well, you stay and practice obediently, don't run around." Song Changming nodded.

"Yes." Su Qingqing agreed obediently.

Although she is more lively and likes to run around, she also listens to Song Changming's words and dare not violate them.

And she extremely hoped that Song Changming's trip would go well, so that she could return to Guyuan Kingdom as soon as possible to find her parents.

On the other side, the governor of Wangyue County returned to his house, rushed back to his study to write a memorial, and then had people hurry up and send it to Yunling City in the hands of the Holy Emperor.

After that, he deliberately left the general to recover from his injuries for a few more days to prevent the young prince from doing something stupid again after receiving the news and not being able to stop him in time.

In fact, not long after he sent the memorial, the palace had already received news of this matter.

In the imperial study room, Gu Wenhui, dressed in a dragon robe, was reading memorials sent from various places.

After being emperor for ten years, his hair already had a few strands of white silk, and his face had some wrinkles, giving him an old look.

Compared with the high-spirited young man when he was still in Dongnae County, he is now entering his twilight years.

However, his eyes were still bright, his face was calm and majestic, and he was unsmiling. He looked at the memorials on the table and concentrated on handling state affairs without slacking off.

Suddenly a guard came hurriedly.

"What's the matter?" Gu Wenhui asked without even raising his eyelids.

"Your Majesty, something happened with King Yu." The guard immediately told the other party that he secretly transferred county soldiers to intimidate Song Changming.

Snap!

Gu Wenhui slapped the memorial on the desk, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"King Chuan Yu comes to the palace to see me!"

"Yes." The guard accepted the order and left in a hurry.

In Prince Yu's Mansion, Gu Yang was awakened from his sleep and was about to have a seizure when he heard the summons from his father. He immediately dressed up and followed him into the palace.

"It's late at night, why is Father summoning me in such a hurry?"

Along the way, Gu Yang felt a little uneasy. In the past, he had never been summoned overnight.

The imperial guard leading the way was silent and quickly led him into the imperial study, then silently closed the door.

Not long after, there were loud shouts and the faint sound of whipping.

"Father, father, don't fight, don't fight."

In the imperial study room, Gu Yang was beaten and knelt down to beg for mercy, with bloody marks on his face and body.

Obviously, Gu Wenhui was really angry this time and acted mercilessly.

"How dare you be so offensive to Song Changming, a person I would like to invite politely!"

Gu Wenhui said angrily, and he whipped twice more in frustration.

"My son is wrong, my son is wrong, father." Gu Yang said in horror with a lot of tears and runny nose.

"Do you still know that you were wrong? If I had summoned you later, I'm afraid you would have been so stupid that you got into trouble without even realizing it!" Gu Wenhui said angrily.

Gu Yang didn't dare to say anything, he just lowered his head and admitted his mistake.

Gu Wenhui lost his temper at this time and threw down the whip in his hand.

"I met Song Changming in the early days of my life. At that time, I was just a small counselor beside the Donglai County Governor on the border, and he was a patrolman in the city.

When I first met him, I noticed his extraordinary qualities and tried to recruit him many times, but unfortunately all failed. Later, his martial arts skills skyrocketed, which confirmed that I was right.

In the fifth year of Dalai, Song Changming defeated foreign enemies and defended the frontier. I wanted to take this opportunity to give his high-ranking official a generous salary and grant him the position of national master, but I was rejected.

Now, he is already one of the strongest men in the world at the top of the Heavenly Ranking. He has already transcended the ordinary world. If you want to recruit such a strong man rashly, you have no self-knowledge. But to do such a barbaric thing after two trials is impatient.

Do you know that even I have recruited him dozens of times in the past few decades? Do you know that I have been angry and dissatisfied?

A true courtesy corporal is not just a matter of words. If you can't do this, how can you become a big deal? "

Gu Wenhui sat back at his desk, straightened his clothes, and said a lot to this useless child.

As Gu Yang listened, he realized how transcendent Song Changming was in Gu Wenhui's heart.

I finally realized that although the imperial power seemed to be supreme, there were always some strong people in this world who were above the imperial power!

Song Changming is one of them!

"My father's lesson is that I should remember it in my heart and never do it again," Gu Yang said as he knelt down.

Gu Wenhui was silent for a moment, then suddenly continued: "I will prepare a generous gift tomorrow and apologize in person. Don't care about your identity as the prince. If you provoke his anger, I may not be able to save you!"

Seeing that Gu Yang was still a little confused, as if he hadn't realized the danger of this matter, Gu Wenhui couldn't help but sigh.

"Although Song Changming treats people around him well, he seems to be easy-going and straightforward, but he is also an extremely dangerous person. Many people died at his hands, including foreign demons, martial arts experts, marshals and generals, and the former prince!

He never cares about the status of the other person when he kills, and anyone he regards as an enemy will inevitably die. This has always been the case."

It has to be said that Gu Wenhui knows Song Changming quite well and he still remembers all the past events.

When Gu Yang heard the last word "prince", his heart trembled inexplicably, his whole body was agitated, and he finally understood what Gu Wenhui meant.

Gu Wenhui summoned him overnight to reprimand him, more because he was worried about the safety of his heir, not wanting him to be stupid again and lose his life!

"My child, my child understands" Gu Yang bowed down again and said.

Two days later.

Gu Yang arrived in Wangyue County in a hurry and went to Liuzhai.

This time, he finally saw Song Changming in the yard.

When they met, they bowed deeply and gave a big gift, and then apologized sincerely, keeping their posture very low and not even the slightest bit arrogant.

Song Changming glanced at the blood marks still left on Gu Yang's face from the whip, and knew that this must be Gu Wenhui's masterpiece.

"I have prepared some small gifts, and I hope that Master Song will accept them." Gu Yang glanced timidly at Song Changming, no longer calling himself the king, and was extremely humble.

Then he took out a letter he had brought with him and handed it over.

"This is a personal letter from my father to you."

Song Changming took the letter, opened it and read it.

The letter was indeed written by Gu Wenhui himself, and he did not pretend to be a widower. He also lowered his attitude.

They talked about some past events of the year, and felt sorry for Song Changming's failure to accept the position of Grand Master of Dalai. Finally, he said that the child offended Song Changming because of his poor discipline.

He has been severely punished and I hope to get Song Changming's understanding so that this kind of thing will never happen again in the future.

"Are you that King Yu? You are young, but you have a very bad temper. How can you see my young master whenever you want, and take him away whenever you want?"

Su Qingqing finished practicing her calligraphy and when she caught a glimpse of Gu Yang, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and feeling angry.

"What the girl said is that it was my fault. I came here to apologize today. I hope you can forgive me." Gu Yang added quickly.

"Hmph!" Su Qingqing shook her head, unwilling to pay any more attention to this annoying guy.

"Since Emperor Gu has spoken, this matter ends here. Let's go back." Song Changming said nothing more after reading the letter.

Gu Yang opened his mouth. He originally wanted to say something, but finally closed his mouth. After answering, he left the mansion, not daring to stay here any longer.

Facing the people pointing and pointing at him on the street, Gu Yang felt his face burning, and he got into the carriage and stopped showing his face.

After that, the next day, Song Changming, who had almost consolidated his cultivation base, went to the bottomless abyss outside the territory without much delay.

This time I still traveled lightly and rode alone.

This is not the first time he has gone there in the past ten years. He will go there almost every three or two years to investigate and observe the abyss and prepare for future crossings.

This time was no exception. After improving his cultivation, he planned to try it again.

And just when he was about to leave Tianguan Mountain, a voice suddenly floated over.

"I dare to ask, but it's Xiaoyou Song."

Song Changming reined in his horse, looked up and followed the sound, and saw an old man in a simple robe sitting cross-legged on a protrusion of the mountain rock in the distance.

He has white eyebrows and white beard, and a string of big beads hanging on his neck.

He looks like a monk but not a monk, looks like a Taoist but not a Taoist. It is very strange.

"Who?" Song Changming asked with a frown.

With his powerful spiritual perception, he was able to detect that this person's aura was strong and long, but the internal energy fluctuations in his body were very small and almost inaudible, making it difficult to judge the strength of his cultivation.

His intuition told him that this old man was no ordinary warrior.

"Here's an open fire, have you ever heard of it?" The old man stood up and said loudly, his voice echoing in the valley.

Song Changming's eyes flashed, and he cupped his hands and said: "It turns out that he is a senior from Yuxu Mountain. The younger generation has admired his name for a long time."

Master Minghuo, when Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang were still there, this one surpassed the master of Wangyue Pavilion, Su Yaoguang, and ranked second on the heavenly list!

He is the well-known strongest man on Yuxu Mountain!

After Nan Wuji left, he became the number one person on the Heavenly Ranking, and he has been at the top of the Heavenly Ranking for ten years!

As for Yuxu Mountain, although Song Changming had never been there, he had heard about it back then.

Yuxu Mountain holds a peach event every year, and eighteen flat peaches are given to eighteen martial artists who stand out in the event to help them open the underworld and reach the state of Qi training.

To this day, the Peach Festival in Yuxu Mountain still has a very high importance in the Dalai martial arts world, somewhat similar to the annual martial arts meeting.

I remember back then, when Song Changming opened the Underworld Sea and had no way to go, he also thought about going to Yuxu Mountain to participate in this peach event and take a peach back.

But later on, the snake turned into a dragon and gave birth to the Dragon Pearl, which solved his problem of opening the Underworld Sea.

Therefore, he did not go to Yuxu Mountain.

Now, so many years have passed, and the boy who had difficulty even opening the Sea of ​​Hell was now able to be taken seriously by the strongest man on Yuxu Mountain.

"Haha, my little friend is now famous far and wide. Everyone in the martial arts world knows about it." Master Minghuo flew down and praised.

"Senior Liao Zang, I wonder why senior is here?" Song Changming said politely.

"I'm going to visit Longmen Ridge this time." Master Minghuo suddenly said.

Song Changming was stunned at first, then understood.

"Senior, have you broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining?"

Before leaving, Su Yaoguang and Nan Wuji had sent the intelligence of Longmen Ridge back to Dalai.

Song Changming did not hide anything about this. Jianya, Wangyue Pavilion, Li Jinyu and Zhuji Pavilion behind him all knew that Guyuan Kingdom would send people to Longmen Ridge outside the domain to recruit martial arts talents from time to time.

This is undoubtedly a shortcut to Guyuan Kingdom. As long as the strength of cultivation and the talent are passed, you can get a ticket to the ancient country.

Obviously, the Minghuo Master of Yuxu Mountain has also known about this.

"Yes, just like Nan Wuji back then, after the eighth level of Qi Refining, he had to leave." Minghuo Master sighed and said.

He deeply felt the constraints of the environment, and the spiritual energy was not enough to continue practicing.

He is old. If he continues to stay in Dalai, he will have no hope of making further progress until his death. He is obviously unwilling to accept this. Only by going to Guyuan Country can he have the opportunity to continue to improve his martial arts skills.

It is said that those who are in the Xiantian realm can live for 200 years!

If he can step into the Xiantian realm in his twilight years, everything will be different, enough to make him have a second spring!

"In that case, why do you stay here, senior?" Song Changming asked again.

If the other party can't find the route to Longmen Ridge, he can point him in the direction.

"I have been to Longmen Ridge, but it will take three months for the people from Guyuan Country to come. Instead of being suffocated in the fog, it is better to stay outside and breathe fresh air." Master Minghuo smiled lightly.

"I see." Song Changming nodded.

"Song Xiaoyou is going to the bottomless abyss? Why don't you go to Longmen Ridge with me to try your luck? As far as I know, every time people from Guyuan Country come, there are often different sects and factions. Maybe this time it will work." Master Minghuo couldn't help but say.

In his opinion, the bottomless abyss is so dangerous that it is impossible to cross that natural barrier without the guidance of a congenital warrior.

Instead of going to the abyss to take risks, it is better to continue to try your luck in Longmen Ridge.

"No, since it doesn't work, why bother to be laughed at again." Song Changming shook his head without any intention.

The experience of that year was enough once.

He still had to rely on himself to cross this abyss obstacle!

Seeing this, Master Minghuo stopped persuading him too much. The two of them were just casual acquaintances, so they avoided talking too much.

Song Changming then said goodbye to him and rode into the fog on his horse.

"Hey!" Master Minghuo just raised his hand and didn't have time to remind him.

Roar!

The moment Song Changming entered the fog, a vicious insect with a huge mouth broke out of the ground and swallowed him.

Song Changming looked up and half of his body suddenly ignited with golden flames!

Then he punched the evil insect without drawing his sword.

The golden fist force carried a raging fire wave, instantly smashing the head and body of the evil insect into pieces!

Blood evaporated and rose, and Song Changming rode his horse and slowly disappeared from the sight of Master Minghuo.

"Tsk, if such a martial arts genius stops here, it would be a great pity." Master Minghuo watched Song Changming leave and shook his head and said to himself.

The environment in the fog is still as bad as ever, no different from the past, as if it is eternal and unchanging desolate.

The creatures living in the fog, whether they are fierce beasts or fog beasts, or warriors from outside the domain, are all part of the food chain.

They hunt and compete with each other to gain energy to evolve, and the weak can only become prey.

This is undoubtedly a very primitive ecological environment.

Although Song Changming is not huge, he is undoubtedly at the top of the food chain when walking here.

There are very few fierce beasts and fog beasts that can still pose a threat to him now, let alone warriors from outside the domain.

Just like this, he traveled all the way and went deep into the land outside the domain.

A few days later, Song Changming soon approached the abyss with familiarity.

The terrifying energy fluctuations surged wildly, forming a real hurricane, stirring the fog and swirling violently.

Song Changming's face was normal, and his body was covered with internal energy, blocking the erosion of the raging energy torrent here from his body.

After a while, he walked out of the fog, and a broad bottomless abyss and a dark earth fault appeared in front of him, with no boundaries in sight.

Song Changming observed for a while, mainly paying attention to the strange energy gushing up from the bottom of the abyss.

What really hindered him was never the wide fracture, but the special magnetic field formed on it and the energy barrier that kept gushing upward.

The reason why Nan Wuji retreated in a panic when he tried to fly the sword was because of these two difficulties.

Song Changming observed for a moment, and then explored along the border of the abyss.

At this time, he used the powerful mental perception condensed by Bingxin Jingxiang Jue day after day to play a role.

He could always keenly perceive the energy fluctuations of the abyss.

When he came to explore the abyss several times before, he observed that the energy intensity of the blowout in each abyss area was not exactly the same.

There was a difference between strong and weak.

Find the rules, collect and compare large samples for a long time, and find the abyss location with the weakest blowout energy and the most suitable time to cross.

As long as he finds it in place and is well prepared, he can reduce the difficulty of crossing and make the impossible possible!

Of course, these preparations are important, but they are not the most important part.

Even if the energy barrier erected by the abyss will be slightly weaker and the magnetic field power will be reduced at a certain time and place, these will not disappear completely after all.

In the end, he still needs to rely on his own strength to cross it!

Only if his strength is sufficient, not innate, but comparable to innate, can he have a real chance of success.

Now, he has broken through the eighth level of Qi Refining and has almost reached the pinnacle of this land.

In addition to his strong physique from hard training, this attempt is naturally the one he has the most hope of success.
