Chapter 675: Chapter 516 You Can’t Go to the Southern Border

How could Tan Nv have fallen into an eternal slumber if not for her? Waking her up was a duty Gu Changsheng could not shirk!

Now, just as she was about to learn the method to awaken her, that damn Little Monk Bu Jie turned it all into a bubble that burst!

Grabbing Little Monk Bu Jie by the ear, Gu Changsheng, with a face full of indignation, said, ”Damn it, Shang Xie, now I finally understand why you followed Yuan Bao and sneaked here with him. This doesn’t seem like your style at all, but it turns out you were just waiting to sabotage me!”

Damn it, she’s actually raised an ingrate in her home!

”Benefactor Changsheng, this monk only wished for your well-being!” With his ear pinched, Little Monk Bu Jie barely kept his feet on the ground and replied with a struggling look.

”For my well-being? For my well-being my ass!” Gu Changsheng immediately sneered in response, ”This matter of Tan Nv has weighed on my mind for more than just a day or two. You all clearly know how to help her but keep your mouths shut! What’s this crap about?”

”What about the common people under the heavens? What have they got to do with me? I, Gu Changsheng, am willing to repay the debts of gratitude I owe, even if it means going against the heavens! Not to mention the common people! I don’t care about all the creatures in the world either!”

The people she cared about were already few and far between!

How could she bear to let Tan Nv, whom she regarded as family, sleep eternally like a living dead?

Seeing Gu Changsheng seemingly lost in the madness of the battle at Hengtang, Zhou Mu immediately stepped forward, wrapping his arms around her from behind, his brows tightly furrowed as he tried to soothe her, ”Don’t be in a hurry, they must have their reasons for not telling you. There will come a day when you can surely awaken Tan Nv!”

”Don’t rush, steady your breath...”

As Gu Changsheng became angry, the grand inner strength within her showed signs of rampaging out of control!

With Zhou Mu’s soothing words, Gu Changsheng’s emotions finally began to calm, but she still looked at Little Monk Bu Jie and Wuchang Yue with resentful eyes.

”Don’t forget the purpose of our journey!” Zhou Mu again reminded her softly in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng truly sobered up!

Her Eight Hundred Dark Night Army, together with her train of supplies, were still waiting outside the Bashu Sky Road!

Her little baby was still trapped in the Southern Border, waiting for her to bring him back!

”Little Witch Lord, my son has been taken to the Southern Border, and they have demanded that I personally go there!” Gu Changsheng looked at Wuchang Yue and said firmly, ”You may not tell me the method to awaken Tan Nv, but please grant me passage so that my men can travel through Bashu unimpeded!”

Upon hearing this, Wuchang Yue gave Gu Changsheng a deep look, then ascended into the air towards the Phoenix Chair atop the steps. With an air of dignity, she turned and sat in the chair, her small hand resting on the Phoenix Head Armrest as she said gravely, ”Ten years ago, Zhou Mu, you asked my mother for passage to the Southern Border to quell its turmoil, which led to the Southern Border paying tribute to Great Zhou year after year. Now, ten years have passed and you, descendant of the Phoenix Clan, are asking me for the same. However...”

At the mention of ”however,” Gu Changsheng’s heart tightened, and she looked up at Wuchang Yue in the high seat with a heavy gaze.

”However, after all, you are the vessel for the King of Witch Gu! If this were over twenty years ago when the Phoenix Clan still held power over the Southern Border, I would not have obstructed you. But alas, times have changed, the power in the Southern Border has shifted, and now it is your sworn enemy who holds reign. As you carry the King of Witch Gu, but they now wield the power of the Southern Border, for your safety, I cannot, under any circumstances, let you pass!” Wuchang Yue shook her head and spoke solemnly under Gu Changsheng’s intense gaze.

At these words, Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed instantly. With a flick of her Red Sleeve, she gazed intently at Wuchang Yue and declared assertively, ”You said it yourself, it’s my sworn enemies who now control the Southern Border. I had no intention of getting involved in Southern Border affairs, but they should never have taken my dearest son!”

”When I set out for the south, I made a solemn vow that I would not return until the Southern Border was pacified as retribution for this sea of blood!”

”Pacify the Southern Border? With just the eight hundred men you have left outside my Bashu frontier? Haha...” Wuchang Yue laughed uproariously upon hearing this as if she had heard the funniest thing in the world!

”Yes! Just with my eight hundred men, it is more than enough to pacify the Southern Border!” Gu Changsheng declared firmly, her eyes blazing with fire as she looked at Wuchang Yue, ”Did you really think that because I traveled light into this land of the Southwest, I come without any backing?”
