Chapter 676: Chapter 516 You Can’t Go to the Southern Border_2

”Even if those eight hundred subordinates of yours are formidable, two fists can’t defeat four hands. In the Barbaric Wasteland of the Southern Border, there are armies of tens of thousands. The Xiangka Clan was originally the household servant of your Phoenix Clan, yet they turned against their master and seized power. Do you really think they’re vegetarians?” Wuchang Yue shook her head upon hearing this, and said gravely, ”If you want to live peacefully in Bashu, my Cloud Palace is at your disposal, and you may make use of everything my Wuchang Clan has. However, I absolutely will not agree to you risking your life alone in the Southern Border!”

The Xiangka Clan? It was the first time Gu Changsheng heard the name of the clan now in power in the Southern Border!

The Xiangka Clan, huh? Good! Very good! She was determined to make this clan join her Phoenix Clan in death!

Seeing that Wuchang Yue insisted on not agreeing, Gu Changsheng furrowed her brows and fell silent, only to look up at the crystal ceiling and catch a glimpse of the sun!

Zhou Mu draped her arm over her shoulder, signaling her not to rush.

As Gu Changsheng remained silent, Wuchang Yue sitting on the Phoenix Chair cast a puzzled look over, let out a small sigh, and continued, ”It’s not that I want to obstruct you, but risking your life just for a son is truly unwise. You carry the title King of Witch Gu, and even if you fell into the hands of the Xiangka Clan, I doubt they’d dare to take your life, but the suffering of a lifetime’s imprisonment is something you’re likely unable to avoid. Why must you be so stubborn? I’m also doing this for your own good! After all, you are...”

”Imprison me for a lifetime? They’d need the ability first!” Gu Changsheng glanced again at the sky beyond the crystal ceiling and gauged the time, speaking in a deep voice, ”Little Witch Lord, I’m determined to go to the Southern Border. I’d be grateful if you allow me to pass, but if you don’t grant me passage, then don’t blame me for laying waste to your Bashu along the way!”

”You! Don’t be so headstrong! You are a distinguished person of our Witch Clan! Could I possibly harm you? I’m doing this for your benefit! The Southern Border is fraught with peril, you...” Upon hearing these words, a flash of urgency crossed Wuchang Yue’s small face, but she still patiently replied.

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

Before Wuchang Yue could finish speaking, two loud blasts were heard in the distance! The noise was so loud it seemed to cause a tremor on the ground of the Cloud Palace!

”Protect the Witch Lord!” The four attendant Little Witch Girls on the stairs shouted, and in the next instant, they tightly surrounded Wuchang Yue.

”Protect her!” Shock flashed across Wuchang Yue’s face as she sat on the Phoenix Chair, but she quickly regained her composure, pointed at Gu Changsheng with her small hand and shouted loudly.

The next moment, the two rows of witches standing at the bottom of the stairs instantly surrounded Gu Changsheng and her companions, sealing off any escape.

Such a noise was undoubtedly the sign of a disaster!

Yundu Jinchuan City was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and landslides were rare, possibly occurring only once in ten or a hundred years!

The fact that Wuchang Yue, disregarding her own safety, instructed her subordinates to protect her, caused Gu Changsheng’s heart to flutter. She raised her hand to part the crowd in front of her, then Gu Changsheng and Zhou Mu walked forward side by side, their steps steady and showing no signs of panic.

”Little Witch Lord, this is what I rely on to sweep through the Southern Border! If I have not left the Cloud Palace by noon, my subordinates will level your Jinchuan City to the ground!” Standing at the bottom of the stairs, Gu Changsheng looked at the little Wuchang Yue and spoke in a deep voice, ”I know you don’t want me to go to the Southern Border for my own good! But my little bun, he is the apple of my eye. They have taken my little bun, and to me, it’s like gouging out my heart! I cannot rest until I’ve avenged this grudge! I must pacify the Southern Border, I want the Xiangka Clan to join my Phoenix Clan, who perished at their hands twenty years ago, in death! I want them, to die without a burial place!”

Before departing for Jinchuan City, Gu Changsheng instructed Han Qiu, Xiao Cui, and the four sisters Jin, Yu, Liang, and Yuan, along with Han Mo, to disguise themselves and head for the Sichuan Road with explosives!

Since the party was composed entirely of women and a child, the Jinchuan City guards were naturally not very wary. Furthermore, since explosives had never been seen before, they had no idea what they were, and thus such a devastating weapon was brought boldly into Jinchuan City!

However, they traveled on the open Sichuan Road rather than a secret path, and it was only yesterday that they crossed the mountains to reach Jinchuan City!

”Are you saying... that commotion outside was caused by your subordinates?” Wuchang Yue turned around incredulously to look at Gu Changsheng.

Could a noise that sounded like the earth was splitting really be made by humans? Wuchang Yue had her doubts!

”They blew up the barren hills outside Jinchuan City. You don’t need to worry, it won’t harm your citizens. Now, can you rest assured and let me pass through to the Southern Border?” Gu Changsheng nodded upon hearing this, and asked again.

”Impossible! This can’t be! How can human effort create such commotion! Even using the Divine Power of my Witch Clan, we couldn’t achieve that!” Upon hearing this, Wuchang Yue still shook her head in disbelief.

All Gu Changsheng could do was shake her head in response.

The culmination of five thousand years of Huaxia culture yielded such exquisite explosives. Raised in a military compound from a young age and coming from a special forces background, Gu Changsheng could produce explosives with ease!

Even such ordinary modern explosives could create such an impact!

In the age of cold weapons, explosives were a universe-defying existence, and they were unique to Gu Changsheng!

Advancing from cold weapons straight to heavy weaponry, she too was Going Against the Heavens, but she had no choice but to do so!

Wuchang Yue asked such questions, yet Gu Changsheng didn’t know how to explain it to her!

”Whether you believe it or not, I’ve done it! Little Witch Lord, with this in mind, are you willing to let me pass, so I can bring my subordinates to the Southern Border and rescue my son, to avenge this deep blood feud?” Gu Changsheng shook her head and spoke hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, Wuchang Yue pondered for a moment and replied, ”I am willing to let you pass, but there is one condition you must promise me!”
