Chapter 370: Chapter 293 Gu Yuzhi
However, perhaps due to the warti period, Stone City seed sowhat desolate at the mont.
Many shops on the main streets were closed, and the Beast Tars passing by were all in a hurry, with serious expressions on their faces.
“We can go to the City Lord’s Mansion first,” Zhao Guangming whispered to Chen Xing, having received ssages before their arrival.
His elders had instructed that upon arriving in Stone City, they should first seek out the City Lord, who was on good terms with Great Xia and could provide much assistance.
Chen Xing looked at Zhao Guangming with puzzlent, and Zhao Guangming returned an affirmative look.
“Let see.”
Knowing that Zhao Guangming had more abundant sources of information than himself, Chen Xing took a map out of his backpack and spread it out; the location of the City Lord’s Mansion was to the north of the Teleportation Array, not too far away.
On their way to the City Lord’s Mansion, Chen Xing and Zhao Guangming conversed.
“I heard that this operation against Jiu Chi City is mainly pushed by Stone City from behind?”
“That’s the rumor I’ve heard,” Zhao Guangming nodded.
Chen Xing found it sowhat incredible. No matter how deep the conflict between Stone City and Jiu Chi City was, it was still an internal matter within the Fentian Domain.
Now, this internal conflict seed to be developing into an external one.
And even dragged in foreign forces, um… those of Great Xia.
He had never thought that there would co a day when Great Xia would beco a foreign power.
After ten minutes, the group arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.
After reporting to the guards at the entrance, they thought the guards would question their identity, but instead, one of the guards glanced at them and told them to wait a mont before one of the four went inside to give notice.
Shortly after, the guard who had left returned, “The City Lord has invited your leader to co over, no more than three people.”
“You and Qin Bo accompany ,” Chen Xing said to Zhao Guangming and Qin Bo.
Zhao Guangming was chosen because his status was the highest after Chen Xing’s.
Qin Bo, on the other hand, was chosen because his Beast Taming strength was the strongest after his own; Chen Xing had once seen Qin Bo summon his beast, strong enough for Transcendence Seventh Level.
Entering the City Lord’s Mansion, many of the architectural styles inside gave Chen Xing a familiar feeling; after a brief comparison, he felt they bore similarities to the palaces in the northern regions of Great Xia.
Could the City Lord of Stone City be an admirer of Great Xia?
Passing through the corridor, faint voices from the back courtyard suggested soone was conversing there.
Then, with the wind, ca the sound of wings flapping.
“Then I’ll take my leave first.”
Entering the courtyard, they only saw the departing figure of a beast.
anwhile, a person sitting in the courtyard gestured to Chen Xing and his companions, “Take a seat.”
The mont Chen Xing saw this person, a buzzing sound flashed through his brain.
The legendary City Lord of Stone City turned out to be him!?
In that instant, Chen Xing understood all the causes and consequences.
Why a war could break out between Stone City and Jiu Chi City.
Because the City Lord of Stone City turned out to be Gu Yuzhi!
But wasn’t he supposed to be dead? Chen Xing had even seen his grave.
Yet here he was, alive again, and not only alive but also the City Lord of Stone City.
Of course, Gu Yuzhi certainly didn’t recognize him; it was just Chen Xing’s one-sided knowledge of him.
General Gu’s image in the Illusion Realm had made a profound impression on Chen Xing.
“Do you recognize ?” Gu Yuzhi suddenly asked Chen Xing.
After a mont of silence, Chen Xing replied, “I’ve seen you.”
“I recognize you too,” Gu Yuzhi said with a smile.
Chen Xing was taken aback; he tried to recall, he should have never seen this General Gu anywhere else other than in the Illusion Realm.
Gu Yuzhi blinked, chuckling, “At that ti, I even took revenge for you, didn’t I?”
Chen Xing’s heart skipped a beat; no matter how much he didn’t want to believe it, he had to admit that he knew where he had seen Gu Yuzhi.
Did the Gu Yuzhi in the Illusion Realm retain those mories? Could it be related to the abilities of the shamān?
But how could that be? Not to ntion that was just an illusion, back then the Illusion Realm of Iron Rock Pass didn’t just have a single parallel copy; so many realms, and it just happened that the realm he was in encountered the “original”?
“Back then, it was to see so old friends,” Gu Yuzhi shook his head, “I just happened to et interesting people.”
Following as if reminiscing about the past, Gu Yuzhi grew sowhat emotional, “If you were really there back then, maybe the outco would have changed a little.”
Zhao Guangming didn’t recognize Gu Yuzhi, but he heard the conversation between Chen Xing and Gu Yuzhi.
He was sowhat surprised that Chen Xing knew this City Lord of Stone City, and that the City Lord turned out to be a person of Great Xia?
It was evident from Gu Yuzhi’s black hair and eyes, and the fact that he spoke the language of Great Xia very fluently.
Typically, only a native speaker could speak that standard.
But the fact that they knew each other was a boon; now there would be more help for their own team.
“Your information was sent over a few days ago; when I saw your photo, I was quite surprised,” Gu Yuzhi spoke softly.
It seed like it was only last year that he had entered the shamān’s Illusion Realm.
Just one year had passed, and that young recruit had beco the leader of a team.
Even during the warti era he experienced, progression had not been so swift.
In this young man, he saw a different kind of hope.
After a mont of contemplation, Gu Yuzhi said, “Your mission is to take command of a rcenary Corps and then assist in the attack on Jiu Chi City, right? In reality, there are not many suitable rcenary Corps left.”
“Previously, the four most famous rcenary Corps in the region of Stone City were Ashen Fox, Heart of Resistance, Holy Fla Sword Shield, and Stone Gate Fortress Corps.
All four rcenary Corps had conflicts with Jiu Chi City to varying degrees; so even harbored deep-seated hatred. Their strength was substantial, and they had large numbers, having amassed power for decades for the sake of revenge, but they already have collaborators.”
