Chapter 234: Chapter 165: Sword Slaughters the Devil Clan’s Top Arrogant Talent!

"Sanqing Taoist Sect of the Yuqing Sect, Daoist name Red Dust."

Gu Wen was alert in his heart, but he did not resist making polite conversation before his Immortal Sword had recovered.

If the opponent was also severely injured and harbored the same thought, and could recover faster than the Immortal Sword, a few minutes would make no difference.

Ao Heng asked, "Red Dust, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Wen replied, "Red Dust gathers, smoke and clouds connect, all living beings, are all part of Red Dust."

Ao Heng looked down and reflected on it, ignoring the words of others. Since he was a person who possessed the True Sword Dao, he would consider it briefly.

People like them, whether their actions were intentional or unintentional, all subtly conformed to the Great Dao. Gu Wen’s Daoist name was worth delving into.

"His energy is weak and floating, clearly overused, don’t talk too much with him."

Fire Phoenix made a move to charge forward, but a huge dragon tail extended from behind Ao Heng and blocked it, instantly weakening Fire Phoenix’s fiery aura by half.

Ao Heng said coldly, "Little birds of the Bright Day Grotto Heaven, it’s not your turn to point fingers in my matters."

Gu Wen’s gaze slightly hardened, for Fire Phoenix was of the Seven Seven Dao foundation, and not weak in strength. That Ao Heng could stop him so easily showed his unfathomable power.

There was another possibility.

With supremacy among the Devil Clan’s lineage, he might be just one level higher, but for the Devil Clan, it was an insurmountable gap.

A thread of divine thought silently supported Gu Wen from behind, and Jun Yan’s voice came through.

’This devil has a peculiar physique, probably some special lineage, his aura is completely integrated and hard to probe. I suggest we run first, we can’t risk so much for Chi Yu Zi, even if she uses her divine skills, she might not be able to match him. If you don’t want to be the bad guy, shall I do it?’

Jun Yan’s actions were full of opportunism, similar to Gu Wen once at the Dragon Bridge. If it had been a year earlier, Gu Wen would have liked his suggestion.

Now, Gu Wen was no longer the moss crawling unrestrained in the gutters; he had rooted himself for robust growth, with many unavoidable entanglements.

Previously at Dragon Bridge, no matter how massive the business or how high the power, Gu Wen never considered those as his own because they could be stripped away at will, and he could also abandon them at will.

Now, on the other hand, the identity of the Sanqing Taoist Sect, the emotional ties with Yu Hua and Chi Yu Zi, these could only be discarded by himself.

’Wait.’

Gu Wen was succinct in his response, hoping that Daozi would appear, which would improve the situation.

If she did not appear, then letting Chi Yu Zi make a sacrifice was also the path she chose. By stopping it, he might harm their emotional ties, yet he could still gain a crippled top genius, though this was not what Gu Wen wished for.

And Yu Hua was to help Chi Yu Zi; once a problem arose that he couldn’t solve, she would inevitably step in.

Gu Wen had no doubt about this; Yu Hua never listened to him in serious matters. Everyone in this small team was highly opinionated, probably only Chi Yu Zi, this little girl, would listen to him completely.

If Yu Hua intervened, then things would spiral out of Gu Wen’s control like they did at Heavenly Spring Mountain.

She was like the counterweight on a scale; as soon as she was involved, other forces would also add their weight, until the balance of the scale was maintained.

Ao Heng also sized up Gu Wen, his humanoid facial features and thick eyebrows prominent, his dragon eyes innately aloof.

He asked, "Does all living beings include all kinds?"

"Do you not understand human speech?"

Gu Wen tilted his head in confusion, his attitude as strong as Ao Heng’s, "Red Dust gathers, smoke and clouds connect. It refers to the dust stirred up by vehicles on a dirt road, a place bustling with activity. Do the fur-covered, armor-scaled, dwelling-in-cave beasts have bustling markets?"

Ao Heng raised an eyebrow, not annoyed, and replied, "Certainly, in the Ten Thousand Demon City for a hundred miles roads, shops continuously line both sides, the human treasures and spiritual medicines are stacked like mountains, would that count as Red Dust?"

Human treasures, one of the solid currencies among the Devil Clan.

They do not only consume humans; compared to many other races, humans are the most enlightened and numerous. The eggs and insects are countless, but none nourish as well as a human treasure.

Human treasures and spirit stones are the basic currency for the Devil Clan, akin to the Pill and Spirit Stone for the Human Race.

All of this Ao Tang had explained to Gu Wen.

Gu Wen grinned, "One day when I flatten Ten Thousand Demon City, I’ll just sell Demon Cores and Dragon Meat."

The other Four Symbols’ Saint Heirs paused their gaze, not expecting him to be so bold.

At this moment, Ao Heng’s face was slightly losing composure, a touch of gloom flashing across his eyes, "It seems that Fellow Daoist has also been deeply poisoned by the Great Demon Qingcang. Countless races perish by the day under the heavens, do you think only the Human Race is noble?"

Gu Wen stroked his chin, not bothering to argue but instead genuinely puzzled, "I don’t seem to recall ever saying Devil Clan are not ignoble, you really don’t understand human speech."

Hiss!

At this moment, even Jun Yan couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Gu Wen; Chi Yu Zi’s eyes twinkled, and other members of the Devil Clan couldn’t hide their anger on their faces.

Gu Wen had no reasoning, all was disdain, even more arrogant than Ao Heng.

Making Ao Heng’s gaze grow increasingly icy, he had been quite polite to this future Sword Immortal.

The Human Race didn’t lack Immortals other than Qingcang, but those who displayed hostility towards other races were only like Qingcang. Could it be that after Qingcang, there would be another Sword Immortal to act so haughtily?

The relationship between humans and demons was not entirely antagonistic; today’s extreme hostility of the Human Race toward the Devil Clan stemmed from Qingcang.

Over the thousands of years, it had gradually eased; only the Sanqing Taoist Sect still followed the old ways, while many other sects had returned to the era before Qingcang.
