Chapter 794: Chapter 624 The Secret of Three Palaces Peak

Thinking of Miaosu Posuo, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Damn it, wasn’t it her who had killed his family’s Yuan Bao Xiao Er Que? And now Yuan Bao’s corpse still lay before Heluo City!

”Even if the Three Palaces Peak is a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair, I must brave it! I really want to see what kind of bird the highly revered Three Palaces in the Southern Border actually is,” Gu Changsheng clenched his fist and declared firmly, ”Anyway, it can’t be any good bird. Otherwise, even if Xiangka Tianji had wanted to rebel back then, she couldn’t have succeeded without the overt and covert support of the Three Palaces!”

He was grasping the might of a million strong soldiers, oh, a million strong soldiers!

If the Three Palaces were a force to be reckoned with, Gu Changsheng would knock his head to death on Great Swamp Mountain!

”The Three Palaces hold high positions and wield great power, uniting the Great Accomplished Gu Women of the Southern Border in one body, enjoying special honor in the Southern Border for generations,” Gu Taitian said with a smile upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng nodded and continued on his way, holding his son.

The group of five, including Gu Changsheng and his two descendants, as well as Little Monk Bu Jie and the Ghost Witch Granny Wu Shan, made their way through the Three Palaces Peak as if entering a land of no one, following the back mountain route straight to the peak.

”I’m really puzzled. As the saying goes, ’One mountain cannot contain two tigers.’ With the Three Palaces full of experts and also commanding military power, how has the Phoenix Clan allowed them to exist in the Southern Border for a thousand years?” Gu Changsheng was quite perplexed by this point.

Where the emperor lies, others dare not sleep peacefully.

To the Southern Border Royal Family, the Three Palaces were but a fierce tiger beside the bed, an outright super unstable factor!

And yet, somehow, the Three Palaces managed to coexist peacefully with the Phoenix Clan for a thousand years, goddammit, completely aloof from worldly affairs!

Puzzling, oh so puzzling!

Where there’s something abnormal, there’s bound to be a devil at work. Gu Changsheng intuitively felt that there was something fishy going on!

”You’ll know soon enough!” A fleeting and illusory voice, full of endless resentment, rang out from behind Gu Changsheng.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately turned back with a look of shock and suspicion.

”Oh! Isn’t this the great god Manman? Where do such words come from?” Hearing the tone, Gu Changsheng knew it was Manman, not her Dandan Bug.

As for Manman’s Divine Soul sharing the same body with her soft and adorable Dandan Bug, Gu Changsheng actually felt repulsed at the bottom of his heart!

Damn, this deity was so arrogantly lovable!

Although nothing but a wisp of Divine Soul, she was still behaving without the consciousness that a featherless Phoenix is inferior to a chicken, still holding that unapproachable, pompous, and slap-deserving attitude!

”I will not help this despicable human’s daughter!” A strand of holy golden color emerged from Gu Changsheng’s forehead, slowly coalescing into the shape of a soft and adorable bug in front of him.

The bug, glaring at Gu Taitian with utter indignation, curtly dropped that statement.

Gu Changsheng felt an itch in his hand upon hearing this!

Dammit, he really wanted to beat up this deity sporting the appearance of his family’s Dandan!

Way too arrogantly lovable!

”Manman, as a god, even if you don’t have a Divine Body right now, you should at least retain some divinity! How can a god hold such grudges?” Dammit, didn’t his old man just imprison Manman’s Divine Soul? Didn’t Little Monk Bu Jie say that it was all Manman’s own fault?

Therefore, Gu Changsheng firmly believed it wasn’t his father’s fault. It was Manman Bug being too narrow-minded and not generous enough to be forgiving!

Humph humph!

That’s right, just this protective, no explanation needed!

”You!” Without a Divine Body, this was Manman’s huge weakness!

Hearing this, Manman’s bug-face immediately turned red!

As a god, just having a wisp of Divine Soul, frankly, did feel kind of devalued!

”If you can get him willing to remake my Divine Body for me, I will tell you the secret of the Three Palaces!” Manman raised a little bug claw and pointed at Little Monk Bu Jie next to her, speaking with much resentment.

She had let go of her divinity, coaxed and cajoled, even going so far as to use her Dandan Bug’s silly little Divine Breath, and still couldn’t get Little Monk Bu Jie to budge!

She was indeed out of options!

”Deal! But I can’t help you with that! I’ll just go find the secret at Three Palaces Peak myself!” Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng immediately gave up.

It wasn’t that Gu Changsheng didn’t want to help, but damn, Little Monk Bu Jie really wasn’t easy to talk to!

If Little Monk Bu Jie was willing to remake Manman’s Divine Body, he would have agreed already. If the Little Monk wasn’t agreeing, there must be a reason for it. Gu Changsheng felt that Little Monk Bu Jie was pretty reliable on this!

At least, he wasn’t as impulsive as Gu Changsheng!

So, Manman might as well continue to stay in the cramped space with Dandan Bug!

Hearing Gu Changsheng’s response, Manman’s bug face stiffened on the spot!

Gu Changsheng was just as tough to deal with as Little Monk Bu Jie, terribly annoying!

Like fire and water, not coming near!

”Humph! Then just wait to be frustrated at Three Palaces Peak!” With a cold snort, Manman disappeared without a trace, the holy golden phantom vanishing in the blink of an eye before Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng was no longer surprised by its ability to appear and disappear out of thin air; after all, it was right within his forehead!

And besides, it wouldn’t be long before it was out nagging Little Monk Bu Jie again!

”Three Palaces Peak, huh! It really does have a bit of the atmosphere of a dragon’s den and tiger’s lair!”

Standing at the foot of Three Palaces Peak, Gu Changsheng looked up and gazed at the towering mountain before him, sighing with a feeling of awe.

”There are two gates to Three Palaces Peak, and we are now within the first one. Proceeding further up will lead us to the second gate. Even when I was the leader of both the Witch and Gu Tribes, I never set foot past the second gate of Three Palaces Peak. Therefore, we must be extra cautious,” Gu Taitian said with a slight frown, as he looked back at the imposing mountain gate and spoke in a grave tone.

”Right,” Gu Changsheng nodded after hearing this, hugging the little bundle in her arms even tighter. In such a place, she really didn’t dare to let her little treasure out of her arms; with experts lurking everywhere, one truly had to be careful!

”Let’s go, I always feel that the aura of Three Palaces Peak is a bit too chaotic!” Sniffing the air, Gu Changsheng spoke with a lack of enthusiasm.

More than a bit chaotic!

Ever since she arrived at the foot of Three Palaces Peak, she felt the extremely chaotic aura!

That aura even made her a little fearful and apprehensive!

The further they walked, the more tightly Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed, and a few extra doses of caution appeared in her phoenix eyes.

”Dad, don’t you think it’s strange?” As they meandered along the mountain path, Gu Changsheng looked at her father with a furrowed brow, ”Three Palaces Peak isn’t far from Witch Gu Peak. The people on Three Palaces Peak couldn’t possibly be unaware of the incident at Witch Gu Peak, yet not a single person went to reinforce Xiangka Tianji!”

”Moreover, we have already entered the first gate, yet we haven’t seen a single person – where are the patrolling guards? The high-level experts?”

Their surroundings were very quiet!

Eerily quiet!

Especially when the second gate of Three Palaces Peak was in sight, this quietness seemed almost deliberate!

If you beat Gu Changsheng to death, she still wouldn’t believe that Three Palaces Peak was as transcendent and removed from the world as the rumors suggested!

After all, haven’t they sent troops to reinforce Heluo City?

After all, wasn’t Miaosu Posuo no good egg?

”What do you mean by that?” Gu Taitian asked with a frown upon hearing this.

”Lure the enemy in deep, with full confidence of victory!” Gu Changsheng’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke in a low voice, the corner of her mouth curling up with a hint of mocking smile, ”The people of the Three Palaces really do have strong backbones! They must be confident that even if we ascend to Three Palaces Peak, we would still be powerless against them!”

”I have been immersed in Qimen Mysticism and have little experience with Military Tactics and Strategies. Since you know they are luring the enemy in deep, should we continue to ascend the mountain?” Gu Taitian looked at his daughter, somewhat proud of her.

Her grandfather had been a war hero who contributed to the founding of the country, and even though he himself fell short, his daughter, who had been tempered in the army, was, after all, upholding the family tradition.

”Ascend! Why not? Without entering the tiger’s den, how can one obtain the tiger’s cubs? Without toppling Three Palaces, how will Heluo City ever cease?” Gu Changsheng stood tall and spoke with righteous indignation, ”Damn it, I’m someone who won’t give up until I hit the south wall. No matter what, I have to see if this is a south wall or not!”

Having said that, Gu Changsheng immediately proceeded with a heroic bearing towards the second gate of Three Palaces Peak.

Fleeing before the battle was too shameful!

Gu Changsheng was someone who cared about her reputation! So even if Three Palaces Peak was a dragon’s den and a tiger’s lair, she had to break through!

Seeing her determination, the others knew of her urgency to pacify the Southern Border and immediately shook their heads and followed.

The second gate of Three Palaces Peak stood dozens of meters tall, entirely carved out of white jade, grand and majestic to the extreme!

”Shit! Real flashy! Talk about splurging!” Standing before the gate, Gu Changsheng’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the white jade gate, overtaken by raw envy and jealousy!

Damn, if the Three Palaces don’t know what’s good for them, she’d slaughter them and haul away this white jade gate to sell!

Just one look and you know it’s worth a whole lot of money!

A gentleman loves wealth and acquires it honestly, but Gu Changsheng is a woman, so perhaps it’s excusable for her to take wealth without righteousness!

Itching hands, greedy eyes, tempted to act!

Maybe steal it?

Shit! That would devalue oneself!

If you like something, you should claim it boldly and outright!

Watching his daughter eye the gate of Three Palaces Peak as if she couldn’t tear herself away, the corner of Gu Taitian’s eye twitched involuntarily, and he had to interrupt her, ”The gate of Phoenix Flying Peak is carved from Warm Jade. If you’re interested in gates, perhaps you should consider dismantling your own family’s gate instead.”

His daughter’s thoughts were too transparent, exposing them all over her face, which made it hard for Gu Taitian to ignore!

”Really?” Gu Changsheng’s eyes instantly lit up upon hearing this.

Warm Jade! That was worth much more than white jade!

Her maternal family was even more extravagant!

She loved it!

”Really.” Gu Taitian held his forehead, giving a resigned yet affirmative answer.

He truly feared that his daughter would plant herself in front of someone else’s gate and refuse to budge!

”Great!”

With the Warm Jade gate as a comparison, the white jade gate before her suddenly didn’t seem so impressive!

Difficult terrain and perilous circumstances breed crafty people, and damn, they turn out to be wealthy as well!

With a bright vision of her future abode being a golden nest and silver den, Gu Changsheng boldly played the willing ”entrapped gentleman,” striding chest out towards the inner reach of the gate!

As soon as her front foot stepped into the second gate of Three Palaces Peak, Gu Changsheng was thunderstruck by the scene before her eyes...
