Chapter 1158: Chapter 205: Reasoning (2/2) (5900)_2
“Let’s set off.”
After a mont of silence, a low voice responded. Many elite martial artists checked their weapons and hidden weapons, then left the room, each performing their movent technique. The elder sighed, picked up a knife with an exceptionally wide blade from beside him, gently stroked it, and murmured:
“This knife shall follow the righteous path.”
He closed his eyes, as if seeing the youth of those years, suddenly pushed the door open, and the previous aura of twilight on him was swept away, like a fierce beast, no longer concealing his identity, walking step by step along the main road towards the destination. With each step, the distracting thoughts dissipated slightly, and each step beca more resolute. “The matter of the Loyal King is indeed the righteous path!”
His footsteps were steady and domineering, his tall stature like a mountain, walking on the street.
The imnse pressure led the pedestrians around to subconsciously retreat to the sides, watching the elder who clearly seed like a rare ferocious figure in the world, holding a giant long knife in his hand, slowly moving forward along the road, feeling sowhat suffocated.
At this ti, the new king was ascending the throne, and it was unknown how many martial artists from sects had arrived in Balman Royal City, hoping to serve the newly crowned king, thus the number of Jianghu martial artists was several tis more than before. At this mont, a curious person said:
“Such heavy murderous aura, who is this person? Could it be that he’s seeking revenge in the city?”
“Let’s go, quickly follow him and see!”
“Do you want to die? If this person is…”
“We can just keep a distance, this is the Royal City, after all, he can’t be too reckless.”
At that mont, many Jianghu martial artists either quickly followed from the road or jumped out from the inn, treading on rooftops, pursuing the elder from afar.
The elder’s expression remained unchanged.
He walked forward step by step, each step incredibly steady.
The end of his path was a courtyard.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Gu Mu’s deanor had beco increasingly calm compared to the past, handling experts from various noble clans and sects with more ease. Today, he set up a banquet, besides the generals from afar, many noble clans, and other state guests familiar with Parthia.
Two civil and military officials from Great Qin were also among them.
Gu Mu holding a wine cup, walked over. The two officials of Great Qin stood up and saluted. Gu Mu smiled and waved his hand, saying: “You two are subjects of Great Qin, but I am the king of Parthia. You don’t have to be so confined by etiquette.”
The military officer was quite bold and laughed:
“The king indeed has the boldness of Jianghu.”
Gu Mu shook his head with a smile and said: “Then I must thank you for your praise.”
While the conversation was going well, suddenly soone stood up and walked quickly, respectfully saying:
“I have a treasure to present to the king.”
Gu Mu turned his head to see him wearing clothes familiar to noble clans, but his face was very strange. He was already sowhat wary in his heart. That person stepped forward, reaching into his bosom, and soone nearby already noticed sothing was wrong, stepped forward to restrain him, but the item in his hand had already gently fallen, clinking.
It was a bronze mirror, with complicated patterns on it, flowing with cloud marks and ancient texts.
The Great Qin civil official’s expression slightly stunned, bent over to pick it up, saying:
“Is this… a replica of the Taoist Sect’s Heaven’s Mandate Mirror?”
Gu Mu’s face was sowhat poor. Upon hearing this, he hesitated internally, wondering if this person truly ca to present a treasure. He temporarily stopped his subordinates from taking the person away, rubbed his forehead, and asked:
“You said this is a replica of the Taoist Sect’s Heaven’s Mandate Mirror?”
The civil official nodded and said: “The Taoist Sect’s Heaven’s Mandate Mirror is a legendary divine weapon, rumored to overlook the wonders of the world. Even among divine weapons, it is of superior rank. Unfortunately, it was lost over a thousand years ago, so this item could not possibly be genuine. But even as a replica, it can have the ability of long-distance viewing.”
“But ultimately it’s just a fake, even though it’s a divine weapon, it has various unbelievable abilities, it still needs two, or three as a pair, one to reflect the image, the other to see the reflected view within dozens of miles. There’s only one here, it seems insufficient.”
The civil official inspected the text on it again and laughed:
“And it’s only the female mirror.”
“The one that can transmit the reflected image over thousands of miles is considered a treasure.”
“This is rely a plaything to amuse people.”
Gu Mu frowned, saying: “It’s unknown what scenery is reflected in that male mirror.”
The civil official laughed: “Isn’t that easy? Though I’m a Confucian Scholar, I have so knowledge in Huang Lao studies. If it were a genuine divine weapon, I’d be helpless, but for a re replica, it’s not an issue.”
Then, holding the mirror in his right hand, he ford several Taoist seals with his left, uttered a low shout, the Qi chanism transford into a hazy stream of light, and poured into it.
The light stread and revealed a scene.
Those state guests around had already noticed the commotion earlier and turned their attention here, seeing such a strange scene, they gathered with curiosity and all looked at the light curtain rising on the mirror surface.
It was a courtyard.
Jin Gaochi and Gu Mu’s expressions almost instantly changed.
Gu Mu was even more enraged, losing the composure of a new king, suddenly took several steps forward, grabbed the tied person on the ground, pulled him closer, and angrily said:
“Who are you?! Why are your people there? Answer !”
“Or I will make you wish for life yet find no death!”
The person had a vicious smile appear on his face, shouted:
“This is the outco of daring to destroy the lord’s plan!”
“Hahaha…”
Gu Mu was furious, suddenly drew a curved saber from the waist of the subordinate beside him, but the person’s body trembled twice suddenly, without any breath, the face quickly turned purple.
