Chapter 797: Chapter 627 Confrontation in Front of the Three Palaces Hall

”This means that the so-called balancing you speak of has been broken by your own hands!” Gu Changsheng cried accusingly.

Manman Bug blinked its insect eyes upon hearing this, appearing completely innocent.

That little look was somewhat reminiscent of the Dandan Bug’s adorable daze!

Gu Changsheng looked at its perplexed little bug face, sighed, and resignedly explained, ”Originally, the Phoenix Clan and the Three Palaces Gu Ancestor Clan complemented each other, maintaining the balance and stability of the Southern Border. But you just dropped it all and left! Your departure was disastrous. Without the Divine, what use is the Phoenix Clan’s continuation of the Blood of Serving God? As the Imperial Family, that controls the Southern Border, the Phoenix Clan has no god to serve. What’s more, the crucial part is that the Three Palaces know about this. Originally co-existing equally and sharing the Southern Border, but now, with your departure, to the Three Palaces, the Phoenix Clan has become useless!”

”A useless Imperial Family, what right does it have to share the prosperity with the Three Palaces? The balance you personally destroyed. Once again, the Three Palaces will not be content to share the Southern Border with the Phoenix Clan!”

Manman Bug’s eyes suddenly widened upon hearing this.

Gu Changsheng looked at the grand Three Palaces Grand Hall before him, and the dense crowd in front of the hall, shook his head, and started speaking, ”I had once doubted why, among the six families that control the Six Halls of Southern Border, the Xiangka Clan, also one of the Six Halls, could successfully plot a coup. Now, I finally know the answer!”

”If I’m not mistaken, the Xiangka Clan was merely being used as a tool by the Three Palaces! The infamous coup was shouldered by the Xiangka Clan. If I were to return, I would have to fight my way through numerous battles, killing countless people. In any case, I cannot escape the blame for the chaos in the Southern Border!” Gu Changsheng stated the facts, eyes downcast.

Even if she fights under the banner of reviving the Phoenix, it’s already been over twenty years. The wars in the Southern Border indeed started because of her!

This blame for the chaos in the Southern Border, she bears justly!

”I enter the Southern Border, the Xiangka Clan is wiped out, the Three Palaces only need to kill me then, after stabilizing the Southern Border, then they, the Three Palaces Gu Ancestor line, will become the true helmsmen of the Southern Border! To settle chaos, establish fame, and occupy the side of justice!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes flashed sharply, ”And the infamy, will be fully borne by the Xiangka Clan and me, not at all affecting the Three Palaces. The Phoenix was eradicated by the Xiangka, the Six Halls exist in name only between my struggle with Tianji of the Xiangka. Only the Three Palaces, with the Great Monarch at the helm, ruling over all. This truly is a plan that kills three birds with one stone! Securely winning the profits of a fisherman, these Three Palaces are indeed not to be underestimated!”

Capable of planning, patient, ready to seize the opportunity, able to calculate human hearts!

Among the Three Palaces Gu Ancestor lineage, there must surely be one adept in the art of emperors!

And this person, must be the white-haired elder who is standing in the center of the grand hall right now!

”You mean... you mean... the rebellion in the Southern Border over twenty years ago was because of me? The current wars are also because of me?” Understanding the rationale, Manman’s bug face changed color, questioning uncertainly.

”What do you think?” Gu Changsheng gave it a side glance, speaking listlessly.

”How dare you! How dare you! The Gu Ancestor lineage, how can they harbor such wild ambitions!” Incensed upon hearing this, Manman Bug became furious.

”In this world, there is no shortage of people greedy enough to bite off more than they can chew. The high position of an emperor, supreme honors, who would willingly share them with others? Manman, the Xiangka rebellion, my revival of the Phoenix, all because of you. Both wars caused numerous deaths and injuries, so you were imprisoned by my father and forcibly brought back with your Divine Soul, you truly deserved it!” Gu Changsheng spoke with a sigh, ”Heaven’s law is clear and misses nothing, truly, even gods cannot escape...”

”Unforgivable! Unforgivable! Gu Ancestor and Phoenix once agreed to co-guard the Southern Border and check each other, how could they break their promise!” Overwhelmed with emotion, Manman Bug trembled in its phantom bug form, Holy Golden energy rampaging, ”I must level this Three Palaces Peak! I must level this Three Palaces Peak to vindicate the injustice I’ve suffered!”

He had been imprisoned with his Divine Soul alongside Gu Taitian and his wife, wandering through the cracks of time for who knows how long!

He is a god!

How could the Gu Ancestor lineage betray their agreement with a god?

This is utterly intolerable!

God’s pride, God’s dignity! Feeling deeply violated and deceived, Manman felt extremely wronged and exceptionally angry.

”It was you who first abandoned the Southern Border...”

Gu Changsheng threw out this line coldly.

The violation of the agreement by the Gu Ancestor lineage might really have been beyond Manman’s expectations. Manman, as an Insect God, ultimately overlooked the inherent flaws of humans!

The craving for power is something every person has!

The Gu Ancestor lineage is no exception!

”I...” Manman Bug, hearing this, suddenly found itself at a loss for words.

Miserably suffering a blow to its spirit!

”I must level this Three Palaces Peak! Otherwise, I cannot calm myself!” When the Insect God was enraged, the fire was indeed not small.

Gu Changsheng, hearing this, gave it a look, ”You better save your energy. Didn’t you see all those people in front of the Three Palaces Hall? The Three Palaces have gathered all the top masters of the Southern Border. These obsessed Gu women probably don’t even know about the wild ambitions of the Gu Ancestor lineage. What use is it leveling them? Do you also want to be imprisoned for another thousand or so years?”

Hearing that he could be imprisoned again, Manman immediately simmered down and gave up!

Gu Changsheng watched him keeping his enraged but fearful demeanor, and chuckled, waving him over, ”You go back inside my body to rest a bit. Let me first ascend this peak to see just how capable the Gu Ancestor lineage really is. If it really comes down to it, I’ll call you out to help.”

Manman thought for a moment, nodded, and with a flash, re-entered Gu Changsheng’s forehead.

With Manman no longer leading the way, the Gu insects spread all around the hillsides suddenly became restless and once again formed an encirclement.

Seeing this, Gu Changsheng twitched her mouth slightly, her Chonghua Dagger glinting in her hand, and a drop of blood flowed out from her fingertip...

”Lantern, now that you’ve left, with these remaining hundred or so steps, I can only resort to bleeding...” She sighed helplessly, planning to indulge in good food once she was back to replenish the lost blood!

Just thinking about it felt quite ludicrous!

With Gu Changsheng’s blood leading the way, the effects were nearly as good as when Manman did so.

The Gu insects dispersed, and Gu Changsheng finally led her companions up the mountain, their spirits high and mighty!

”My, what a welcome, truly magnificent. It’s indeed surprising for Changsheng! Hey you, you’ve been comfortably fishing for so long, now that I’m your last catch, what exactly are your plans? Just speak bluntly,” Gu Changsheng faced the Gu Ancestor Granny from afar, cutting through over a thousand Gu women experts, her face not showing the slightest politeness.

A welcoming ceremony?

Upon hearing this, the corners of the mouths of the thousand or so Gu women twitched almost imperceptibly.

The woman in front of them, clad in crimson like blood, truly had a bold heart!

To come uninvited so ceremoniously and so self-assuredly!

The centuries of peace at Three Palaces Peak was broken overnight due to the arrival of Gu Changsheng!

”Foolish child, for your own selfish desires, you’ve thrown Southern Border into chaos, slaughtering countless cities and killing countless of our soldiers, and now you dare come to the foot of the Three Palaces and shout so arrogantly!” Behind Gu Ancestor Granny, an elderly Gu woman stepped forward, her voice harsh as she scolded.

”Why waste words with her, just kill her and be done with it! Spare us her creating further chaos in Southern Border, making it unbearable for the citizens!”

”Kill her!”

”Kill her!”

Before Gu Ancestor Granny could speak, the people around her rallied in a united denouncement of Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng squinted her eyes, taking in the triumphant look in the eyes of the white-haired old woman standing above.

In front of the Three Palaces Grand Hall, so many were passionately excited, their expressions did not seem faked!

So, was all of this within the machinations of the Gu Ancestor Lineage, ol’ granny?

”Sigh,” With a helpess sigh, Gu Changsheng directly stared at the old woman who confidently remained silent, and with a smirk, said, ”People of the Gu Ancestor Lineage, don’t you want to say something? Seeing so many around you filled with a sense of justice, being manipulated by you, does it give you a sense of accomplishment?”

With Gu Changsheng’s words, the noise before the grand hall suddenly quieted.

Everyone turned with uncertainty, looking up at Gu Ancestor Granny.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ancestor Canglan’s heart sank and her eyebrows furrowed. If Gu Changsheng’s first remark about fishing could be seen as a coincidence, her current statement was nothing less than an accusation aimed at the heart!

Could this child from the Phoenix Clan possibly know something?

Gu Ancestor Canglan suddenly had a bad premonition, but being someone who had weathered great storms, she quickly regained her composure, still maintaining a dignified and imposing demeanor.

However, a member of her clan immediately stepped forward, pointing at Gu Changsheng and spoke with distinct coldness, ”Presumptuous child, stop bewitching the crowd here! The people of the Three Palaces have always stayed out of Southern Border affairs, solely focusing on cultivating and nurturing Gu. Your chaos in Southern Border is unforgivable, and now you audaciously climb up to Three Palaces Peak, do you really think the Three Palaces are undefended? Do you think our thousand powerful Gu women of Southern Border are just for show?”

With just that sentence, he deftly skirted the sharpness in Gu Changsheng’s words and pushed the thousand Gu women to the forefront instead!

Climbing up the Three Palaces Peak was to disregard the thousand Gu women of the Three Palaces!

The dignity of the experts is not to be violated!

Thus, the anger of the thousand Gu women before the grand hall was instantly ignited, numerous furious gazes shooting straight towards Gu Changsheng!

The tangible anger made Dandan quite uneasy, shifting on Gu Changsheng’s shoulder.

”Mommy, I’m scared!” Dandan’s plump little hands tightly clung to her mother’s neck, his soft and mushy voice sounding out.

In front of his own mother, he was just an ignorant little child, freely acting cute and seeking comfort.

”Good boy, don’t be afraid, Mommy is here!” Gu Changsheng smiled and patted the little Dandan in her arms, seemingly oblivious to the tense atmosphere around her.

”Defiling the Three Palaces, your crime deserves death!” Gu Ancestor Canglan looked at Gu Changsheng and her party, her words neither light nor heavy...
