Chapter 259 The Mysterious Treasure of Chu

Sun Tzu's art of war emphasizes the importance of winning by coincidence, so Gu Sheng decided to be the cavalry to support Lin Tianhao and his party.

He took only Huang Miaoyin and set off.

Using the induction of the Ivy Demon Soul, he could sense the situation within a radius of several kilometers, especially the situation of the marching army, which was particularly obvious.

The night is like ink, deep and mysterious.

Gu Sheng and Huang Miaoyin quietly went deep into the hinterland of Chu State, stepping on the edge of danger every step they took.

"According to rumors, this hinterland of Chu State is a relic from ancient times, hiding countless secrets."

Huang Miaoyin whispered, curiosity and awe flashing in her eyes.

As the granddaughter of Huang Yuncheng, the master of Lingdan Peak, he knows much more about the secrets than ordinary people.

This was also the reason why Gu Sheng only took her with him.

Gu Sheng's eyes were blazing, and he could feel an ancient and powerful aura permeating the air, as if something was awakening.

Suddenly, a strong wave came from the distance, and then, several figures came through the air and landed in front of Gu Sheng and the others.

"You dare to trespass into the hinterland of Chu State, you are so audacious!"

The leader was a burly strong man, with a cold light in his eyes and a cold tone.

Gu Sheng's heart trembled. He knew that this time it might be a disaster.

He didn't feel the slightest fear, but instead faced him.

"I came here to find something that belongs to me."

Gu Sheng's voice was calm, but every word was full of determination and confidence.

"court death!"

The strong man shouted angrily, and with a movement of his body, he rushed towards Gu Sheng.

Behind him, several Chu princes also followed closely, releasing powerful auras.

A hint of coldness flashed in Gu Sheng's eyes, and with a movement of his body, he locked hands with the strong man.

Huang Miaoyin was assisting from the side. Her figure was agile and elegant, and every shot was just right.

The battle was fierce and cruel. Gu Sheng was inextricably linked to the strong man. At the same time, he was also responsible for Huang Miaoyin's safety.

"Ding-deng-deng..."

Huang Miaoyin played the Miaoyin Pipa, and the thumping sound of horse hooves sounded, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping in.

More than a dozen warriors were on alert, and the three young masters in Chinese robes immediately retreated.

After all, the illusion is an illusion, and the confusion cannot last long. Gu Sheng knows that continuing like this is not the answer, and he must resolve the battle as soon as possible.

At this moment, his Ivy Demon Soul suddenly became restless, as if he felt something.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, and he suddenly activated the demon soul, and saw a green vine burst out of the ground in an instant, wrapping around the strong man.

The strong man's expression changed, and he felt the powerful power of the Ivy Demon Soul.

But he had no time to dodge and could only resist.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the strong man was tightly entangled by the Ivy Demon Soul, unable to move.

Gu Sheng took the opportunity to punch him out, knocking him away.

Upon seeing this, the other Chu princes retreated in horror.

Gu Sheng had no intention of letting them go. He moved towards one of the princes.

"Spare my life! I am willing to pay any price!"

The prince shouted in horror.

This is the prince of Chu State, Chu Xuan.

Gu Sheng stopped and looked at the prince with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Oh? What price are you willing to pay?" Gu Sheng asked calmly.

"I...I can give you countless gold and silver treasures, and I can also help you seek a high position in Chu State!" Prince Chu Xuan said eagerly.

Gu Sheng shook his head, he didn't care about this.

He only stopped because he thought of a better plan.

"I don't need this."

Gu Sheng said coldly, "But if you are willing to be my bargaining chip, maybe I can spare your life."

Prince Chu Xuan was stunned. He did not expect Gu Sheng to make such a request.

But now he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, and he captured the prince and prepared to leave this dangerous place.

Huang Miaoyin was watching from the side, with a complicated light shining in her eyes.

On another battlefield, Lin Tianhao and others were being besieged by a force of ten thousand cavalry.

Although these iron cavalry are not high in cultivation, they are numerous and powerful.

Lin Tianhao and others were not afraid. They joined forces to fight against the enemy. Every blow was astonishingly powerful and they quickly defeated the cavalry.

Gu Sheng did not forget the situation on the battlefield, and he sent the Ivy Demon Soul to help fight the enemy.

This ivy demon soul is not only powerful, it can also devour corpses and accumulate vitality.

On the battlefield, it is like a giant green dragon, raging among the enemy and devouring all life.

Princess Zishuang received a gift from Gu Sheng - Prince Chu Xuan.

A smug smile appeared on her lips, a cunning glint in her eyes. She immediately summoned envoys to prepare for negotiations with Chu.

At the negotiation table, Princess Zishuang used Prince Chu Xuan as a bargaining chip to force Chu Emperor Chu Tianshu to withdraw his troops and hand over the previously annexed Seventy-Two Cities of Yanyun.

Her tone was strong and firm, and every word she spoke was full of threats and oppression.

Chu Tianshu sat on the dragon chair, his face as gloomy as water.

As the emperor of Chu, he never thought that he would be so forced by a woman. There was a trace of anger and unwillingness in his eyes, but more of helplessness and compromise.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Princess Zishuang, do you really think that my Chu country is afraid of your Liang country? I, Chu Tianshu, will remember today's humiliation in my heart, and I will pay it back a hundred times in the future!"

Princess Zishuang heard this but didn't take it seriously at all. She chuckled lightly and said:

"Chu Tianshu, if you have the ability, come and take it. But today, you must withdraw your troops and hand over the city as I requested."

The envoys of the two countries had a fierce battle at the negotiation table, but in the end, under the strong pressure of Princess Zishuang, Chu had to compromise. The war came to an end temporarily, but the grievances between the two countries did not end.

"Chu Tianshu values ​​Prince Chu Xuan too much and intends to let him inherit the throne, so he agreed to withdraw his troops!"

This is the public opinion.

Gu Sheng didn't care about these, and his heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

This time, he used the Qingteng Demon Soul to search for a shocking secret, forcing Prince Chu Xuan to cooperate with his future actions, and then agreed to let Chu Xuan live.

Soon, he will explore this secret.

Among the Three Kingdoms, why is Chu the only one and dare to challenge two? It turns out that there is a big secret.

Liang and Qi joined forces to force Chu into a desperate situation. The emperors of the two countries toasted to celebrate, as if the world was in their hands.

However, although the Chu Kingdom was defeated, it did not surrender. The flame of revenge burned in Chu Tianshu's eyes, and he vowed to avenge the previous humiliation.

The disciples of the Crazy Blade Sect, holding a giant blade, had a bit of disdain on their faces:

"The Chu Kingdom? Humph, it's just a jumping clown, dare to dominate a place? After this defeat, let's see what kind of storm they can stir up!"

The disciples of the Giant Sword Sect also sneered:

"The Chu Kingdom has long lost its courage. This defeat is the beginning of their decline. We, the Giant Sword Sect, are the future overlords!"

However, the disciples of the Governor's Mansion frowned:

"The Chu Kingdom has a deep foundation and cannot be broken overnight. Although it was defeated this time, Chu Tianshu is ambitious and will definitely not give up."

Amid the discussion, the disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect, the Zhou Family, and the Wu Family stood on the side of the Chu Kingdom.

The disciples of Qiandu Sect sneered:

"If Chu is defeated, we will not be able to survive alone. Liang and Qi have evil ambitions, we must lend a helping hand to Chu!"

The disciples of Zhou and Wu also echoed, and for a while, the scene became tense.

At this time of change, the disciples of Shengdan Sect discussed Gu Sheng's contribution.

Lin Miaomiao's beautiful eyes flickered, and she exclaimed: "Senior Brother Gu Sheng is really the pride of our Shengdan Sect. He used the Green Vine Demon Soul in the war and saved the lives of countless fellow disciples."

Huang Miaoyin also nodded: "Not only that, Senior Brother Gu Sheng also captured Chu Xuan, the prince of Chu. Chu Xuan's bargaining chip is the key to Chu's retreat."

The discussion in the world attracted the dissatisfaction of others.

The disciples of the Qian family sneered: "Humph, the Shengdan Sect just stole the limelight from Gu Sheng. On the battlefield, who doesn't contribute?"

The disciples of the Mu family also curled their lips: "It's as if all the credit belongs to the Shengdan Sect!"

Lin Miaomiao frowned when she heard this, and was about to refute, but was stopped by Huang Miaoyin.

She shook her head gently, signaling Lin Miaomiao not to argue with them.

She knew that the argument at this moment was meaningless, and only strength could convince people.

In the Chu Palace, Chu Tianshu stood alone on the high platform, overlooking the ministers below.

There was a firm light in his eyes, as if he had seen the future victory.

He knew that in order to regain everything he had lost, he had to rely on those forces that shared the same ideals as him. And the Qiandu Sect, the Zhou family and the Wu family were the forces he was looking at.

The rescued prince seemed to have become a different person, his soul was still unsettled.

"Soul possessed!"

Every time Chu Xuan thought of this scene, he was terrified.

In fact, Gu Sheng only let the green vine demon soul attach to him and talk to him, and he was scared and obeyed Gu Sheng's words.

Gu Sheng then learned about the shocking secret of the Chu State.

Gu Sheng had an idea in his mind based on the information provided by Chu Xuan.

The night was as dark as ink, deep in the palace, the concubine that Gu Sheng turned into walked lightly between the corridors.

Her figure was graceful, her face was charming, and every movement revealed a different style.

There was no ripple in her heart, only firm belief and the goal to be achieved.

"Your Majesty, I specially prepared fragrant tea for you tonight. I wonder if Your Majesty is free to taste it?"

Gu Sheng's voice was soft and charming as a concubine, and his eyes flashed with seductive light.

When the King of Chu heard this, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. He laughed and said:

"My beloved concubine is so considerate, how can I refuse?"

The two walked side by side and entered a luxuriously decorated secret room.

The room was filled with fragrance and the candlelight flickered, creating an ambiguous and mysterious atmosphere.

Gu Sheng opened her red lips and poured fragrant tea for the Emperor Chu. Her fingers accidentally touched the back of the Emperor Chu's hand, and the touch made the Emperor Chu's mind ripple.

"Your Majesty, this fragrant tea is made by me, which can relieve your Majesty's worries and help you sleep peacefully."

Gu Sheng's voice was low and magnetic, as if it was blowing gently in the ears of the Emperor Chu.

The Emperor Chu's eyes became more and more blurred. He seemed to be attracted by Gu Sheng's voice and charm, and completely forgot his identity and purpose.

"My beloved concubine, you are really my eloquent flower."

The Emperor Chu stretched out his hand to hold Gu Sheng's waist and hugged her tightly in his arms.

Gu Sheng's heart moved, she knew this was her chance.

She smiled gently, put her hands around the Emperor Chu's neck, and put her cheek against his chest.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you." There was a hint of coquettishness and pleading in Gu Sheng's voice.

"Oh? What's the matter, my beloved concubine?" The voice of the Emperor Chu was a little confused.

"I want to go into the secret room and take a look. I wonder if Your Majesty can help me?" Gu Sheng took the opportunity to put forward his request.

Emperor Chu was slightly stunned, but then he was bewitched by Gu Sheng's charm. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."

Gu Sheng was delighted, she knew she had succeeded halfway.

She snuggled up to Emperor Chu, and the two walked towards the entrance of the secret room together.

Inside the secret room, it was dim and mysterious. With the help of the weak candlelight, Gu Sheng began to carefully search for the mysterious treasure left by the founding emperor. And Emperor Chu was completely bewitched by Gu Sheng. He leaned aside and looked at Gu Sheng's busy figure with a dazed look.

The further you go inside, the larger the space becomes. Gradually, a small world appears in front of the two.

The charm technique taught by Huang Miaoyin is like a kind of ecstasy. The effect of the drug will soon wear off. Gu Sheng has to stop exploring and make long-term plans.

Back to the East Palace, Gu Sheng took out a jade key and handed it to Chu Xuan.

"How is it, is this the key to your treasure secret room?" Gu Sheng was a little proud.

"You... stole the key?" Chu Xuan didn't believe his eyes.

"Imitation!"

With Helian Weapon Casting Technique, it is easy for Gu Sheng to copy a key.

Chu Xuan was relieved. Since the key was imitation, he didn't have to worry about being discovered by Emperor Chu.

The three of them came to the secret room without anyone noticing, opened it with the jade key, and walked in.

Inside was a small world, a different world.

The Green Ivy Demon Soul became extremely excited, almost manic.

"Master, I sensed something good, I seem to like it very much!"

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he encouraged the Green Ivy Demon Soul to find it.

The Green Ivy Demon Soul turned into a stream of light and flew away, followed by Gu Sheng and the others.

Following the Green Ivy Demon Soul, the two came to a gorgeous world.

The gorgeous world was like a dream, as if they were in another world.

The Green Ivy Demon Soul was galloping here, and Gu Sheng and Chu Xuan followed closely, shuttling through the stream of light.

All around, there were thousands of rays of light and thousands of auspicious auras.

Exotic flowers and plants grow everywhere, emitting bursts of fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

In the distance, a towering mountain stands, with clouds and mist on the top, as if there are immortals practicing on it.

"Is this the secret realm of Chu? It is indeed extraordinary!"

Gu Sheng exclaimed, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Chu Xuan was a little absent-minded. He looked at the gorgeous scene in front of him, but his heart was mixed.

The treasures in this secret realm are the foundation of their Chu country's dominance. Now they are going to be given away by Gu Sheng. How can he not feel heartbroken?

The green vine demon soul stopped in a radiant light, and it pointed excitedly to the front:

"Master, it's there, I feel the breath of the treasure!"

Gu Sheng and Chu Xuan looked ahead and saw a stone platform in front of them. On the stone platform, a dragon ball lay quietly there.

The dragon ball exudes a strong vitality, as if there is endless vitality flowing in it.

"It's really a good thing!"

Gu Sheng's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he reached out to take the dragon ball.

At this moment, a powerful restraining force emerged from around the dragon ball, forming an invisible barrier that blocked Gu Sheng's hand. (End of this chapter)
