Chapter 232: Private talk

Zhong Chenghou bowed his hand to answer the ceremony and said, "Long time no see. Master Gu, can you tell me one by one? Some words are not worthy of being told by outsiders."

"Outsider?" Gu Du glanced at Chu Qin and Zhong Jinling.

Zhong Chenghou said: "People other than you and me."

Yun Jincai and Cheng Yuelan both approached Gu Du and looked at Zhong Chenghou with expressionless faces.

Zhong Chenghou's eyes swept over the faces of the two, and said, "I'm so old, I'll beat you if you want to, why should I cheat?"

Gu Du ordered people to put a table on the beach, put tea on it, and sat opposite Zhong Chenghou. Chu Qin and others were five feet away. In fact, not only did Gu Du not know what Zhong Chenghou was going to do, but even Chu Qin and Zhong Jinling didn't know what Zhong Chenghou was going to do.

So Chu Qin and the other four were about one meter away and were guarding against each other. As long as Zhong Chenghou and Gu Du fought, the four of them would immediately start fighting.

Zhong Chenghou stared at Gu Du for a while and said, "Your entry is indeed very fast. Have you been promoted to the peak level?"

Gu Du replied: "I'm not sure about it, I don't know much about it without the teacher's guidance."

Zhong Chenghou nodded, raised his hand and waved it, and asked, "Can you feel the wind at my hand?"

Gu Du hesitated for a moment and replied: "No."

Zhong Chenghou waved his hand again, more force than before, Gu Du said: "I feel it this time."

Zhong Chenghou said: "You are only one step away from the peak realm, from at least three years to five years, and you will be able to advance to the throne."

Gu Du was a little surprised and bowed and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Zhong Chenghou smiled and asked, "You are willing to come this time. Do you want to meet me?"

Gu Du nodded and replied, "You are always the only peak soul master in the world. I want to confirm my entry, so I can only come to find you, and I have no choice."

Zhong Chenghou nodded with a smile and said, "No need to do it, it has been confirmed just now."

Gu Du frowned, not understanding what Zhong Chenghou means.

Zhong Chenghou said: "You should think that the Spirit Emperor still wants to get rid of you, and if you want to get rid of you, you can only force me to take action."

Gu Du asked, "Am I wrong?"

Zhong Chenghou replied: "That's right."

Zhong Chenghou directly met the Spirit Emperor and refused to kill Gu Du in person, and told the Spirit Emperor that he was no longer sure to kill Gu Du.

Zhong Chenghou did not kill Gu Du back then, because on the one hand, it was because he was worried about Jueling Sect's revenge, but the more important reason was that he never thought that Gu Du could also be promoted to the peak soul master.

Because in the hundreds of years that can be found, with Zhong Chenghou, there are only five known peak soul masters.

If you want to become a great soul master, you can do it by talent and hard practice, but if you want to become a peak soul master, you have to rely more on God's will.

The Spirit Emperor did not destroy Dongfang He's soul, and it was not that he did not expect Dongfang He would serve as a soul attendant for Gu Du, but that it didn't matter.

Chu Qin has a high understanding and expectations for the Soul Master. In fact, although the Soul Master can communicate spiritual power with the Soul Master, it cannot effectively improve the Soul Master's basic spiritual power. The Soul Master is nothing more than a comrade who will not be killed by ordinary swords and can communicate with the Soul Master's will.

But for Gu Du, Dongfang He's role is not as good as Lixia, because Lixia can kill ghosts, while Dongfang He can't kill the great soul master.

Both Lingguo and Jingxuezhai sent me some works to Zeguo. Lingguo's memorial works only care about the trends of Zeguo, while Jingxuezhai's memorial works are more concerned about Gu Du's growth.

When Zhong Chenghou learned that Gu Du's spiritual power was growing rapidly, he regretted not killing Gu Du back then. But then again, perhaps this was due to God's will. Gu Du accidentally married Dongfang Xia Lan and became the son-in-law of Jueling Sect.

If it weren't for this, Gu Du would definitely die back then.

Gu Du asked, "How could your old man know my entry? I have never fought with anyone. Except for the guards, everyone in my mansion is a disciple of the Jueling Sect. How could your old man feel my breath?"

Zhong Chenghou replied: "The people I sent are not ordinary people. As long as you pass by, you can sense your breath. Moreover, your breath is already similar to mine, so it is easy to sense it."

Gu Du couldn't hide his excitement and smiled, but he deliberately restrained himself.

Zhong Chenghou said: "You should be happy. Although you have been promoted a little late, you are expected to advance to the throne after all."

Gu Du's smile dissipated and he asked, "Where are you always going to the peak level?"

Zhong Chenghou smiled slightly and replied, "What's the matter? Anyway, I'm old now, and you are at the peak of your life, so why should you compete for the age of promotion?"

Gu Du smiled and nodded and responded: "You always say yes. Let me ask, will the Spirit Emperor listen to your advice?"

Zhong Chenghou replied: "He has to listen, and he has to listen if he doesn't."

Zhong Chenghou told the Spirit Emperor that he was no longer sure of killing Gu Du. Not only was he unsure, but there were risks. Moreover, in the current situation, anyone could die, but Gu Du could not die.

The reason why Gu Du cannot die is very simple. Emperor Ze is weak. Over the past ten years, Gu Du has taken over military power and Li Xia has controlled the internal affairs. Although Li Xia rarely speaks, Li Xia's joys and angers directly affects Emperor Ze's decisions.

Although Li Xia has been the queen for many years, her relationship with Gu Du has not faded much. If she is asked to choose between Zedi and Gu Du, she will definitely choose Zedi. But if Gu Du died in Lingguo, it will be hard to say whether Li Xia will lose her mind.

Zhong Chenghou also admitted that with the current strength of Ling Kingdom, he has the ability to fight on both sides, but why should he force himself into a desperate situation? In fact, as long as the sea area is opened, Gu Du dared not easily tear up the alliance and start a war with Ling Kingdom.

Zhong Chenghou looked at Gu Du and asked, "Am I right?"

Gu Du nodded and replied, "Yes, the snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman gains the benefits."

Zhong Chenghou said, "So the Spirit Emperor gave up the idea of ​​getting rid of you."

Gu Du sneered, and Zhong Chenghou said, "I know you have doubts, why did the Spirit Emperor listen to me? Although I am the peak soul master, I am a commoner after all."

Gu Duying said, "You always say yes."

Zhong Chenghou said, "I have a friend of the late emperor for eight times. I was the high priest of the late emperor. I also told Ling Emperor that Rumeng insisted on killing you, so I would kill him first. Anyway, I turned against the late emperor because of him."

Gu Du was stunned, Zhong Chenghou smiled and said, "But I want to be a close guard for the Spirit Emperor, so I want to warn you that even if you advance to the top of the palace and assassination in the future, it will not be easy."

Gu Du looked at him, stared for a while before saying, "You will always die in front of me."

Zhong Chenghou laughed and said, "You have avenged Jin Lan's grudge? You are not the emperor, why have to kill the Spirit Emperor? How much does it have to do with you if you have no more days or no more than a country?"
