Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 798: Chapter 628: The Sin of Deceiving Gods, Equivalent to Deceiving Heaven!

Since Gu Changsheng appeared before the Three Palaces Grand Hall, Gu Ancestor Canglan had been maintaining that lofty demeanor, not uttering a single word!

But once she spoke, it was to claim Gu Changsheng’s life!

To defile the Three Palaces is a crime worthy of death?

”Haha...”

Gu Changsheng suddenly laughed!

How long had it been since anyone had spoken to her like this?

In her past life, she was ranked as a Major General at a young age, standing at the apex of the Pyramid! In this life, she braved storms, amassed a family fortune, and with the bride-pride ceremony, reached for the title of Central Plain’s Prince! She trampled over the Southern Border, commanding the winds and clouds, causing many to lose their courage at the mere news of her approach, surrendering without a fight!

Yet, she ran into such a person!

During her most glorious moments, to speak so casually while directly threatening her life!

How could Gu Changsheng not laugh?

”In this world, there truly is no shortage of self-proclaimed exceptional people!” The wild laughter ceased, Gu Changsheng slowly placed the little meat bun on the ground, took his small hand, with a mocking face, she began with a curl of her lips.

The words of Gu Ancestor Canglan were the Heavenly Mandate in the land of the Three Palaces!

As her voice fell, the thousand-strong Gu women experts in front of the Three Palaces Grand Hall were already restless with eagerness, and countless formidable Gu insects were summoned forth!

The scent of blood and the forewarning of a storm—was any Gu woman who had made a great accomplishment in the Southern Border someone who just ate cabbages?

Towering Green Snakes, blood-red forked tongues, Scorpion Gu as large as millstones, their tails filled with deadly poison...

Every Gu insect worth mentioning, a bizarre and varied spectacle, surrounded Gu Changsheng!

Outnumbered, Gu Changsheng still stood as she was!

”The family of the Gu Ancestor, don’t tell me you really think I walked into the tiger’s den willingly because I’m such a fool wanting to die?” Robed in red, a Holy Golden mark between her eyebrows, Gu Changsheng casually spoke, at ease.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ancestor Canglan’s old eyes suddenly narrowed into dangerous slits, casting a sinister look straight towards Gu Changsheng.

The Gu insects advanced, but Gu Changsheng seemed completely unaware as she slowly raised her slender, luminous fingers. To the shock of all, she again squeezed out a drop of fresh blood from a wound that had nearly healed!

The bright red blood touched the earth.

Seductively bizarre.

Yet the thousand Great Accomplished Gu women before the Three Palaces Hall were stunned!

Because the Gu insects surrounding Gu Changsheng scattered backwards in fear and trepidation at the falling drop of blood, regardless of their commands.

The feeling was somewhat like reverence!

Suddenly, the front of the Three Palaces Hall descended into chaos!

The Gu women, who had cultivated in seclusion within the Three Palaces without concern for worldly affairs, were now bewildered!

These were their Gu, the Gu insects they had raised all their lives, yet at this moment, they were not heeding their call!

This...

Seeing this, Gu Ancestor Canglan’s complexion changed drastically, her old eyes bursting with a hostile chill, she pointed her cane at Gu Changsheng and hysterically shouted, ”Kill her! Kill her to rid the Southern Border of evil!”

Kill her!

She must be killed!

Because the bad premonition in her heart was growing stronger and stronger!

If Gu Changsheng could pass through Gu Mountain and Insect Sea because the Gu insects there were just ordinary insects, the current Gu insects were different, they were the prized Gu of the Great Accomplished Gu women of the Southern Border!

If even these could be deterred by Gu Changsheng, what did that prove?

That proved that Gu Changsheng might not just have awakened the shell of the King of Witch Gu!

She might also have awakened the true Divine Soul, possessing the true Blood of Serving God capable of deterring the Ten Thousand Gu!

Divine Soul!

A sudden fear began to creep up from the bottom of Gu Ancestor Canglan’s heart!

”Haha... A cornered dog will jump over a wall, won’t it? Old thing, do you think that if the Gu insects can’t hurt me, they will be able to?” As she watched Gu Ancestor Canglan, eager to get rid of her quickly, Gu Changsheng laughed arrogantly.

Serving with their bodies, the Gu women present were all experts, even without their Gu insects, the Inner Strength they had acquired from serving the Gu was still there!

Hence, hearing the contempt in Gu Changsheng’s words, a proud Gu woman, unwilling to admit defeat, began to gather her Inner Strength, ready to attack.

But as she stepped out and reached out... her Inner Strength couldn’t be mustered!

Without the Gu insects, without Inner Strength, the thousand Gu women were effectively crippled in an instant!

Startled gasps of uncertainty rose and fell in front of the Three Palaces Grand Hall!

”How is this possible? How is this possible? The Gu insects, the Inner Strength, she... she...”

”The Holy Golden mark! The Holy Golden mark! She is from the Phoenix Clan, the Master of Heavenly Mandate, she has awakened the Divine Soul of the King of Witch Gu!”

”Phoenix Clan! King of Witch Gu!”

”...”

Shock filled the eyes that followed these few sentences, all turning towards Gu Changsheng’s forehead.

That drop of Holy Golden, under the sunlight, was so dazzlingly brilliant that they had, until now, chosen to overlook it!

No!

It wasn’t a selective oversight, but that they were bewitched by Gu Ancestor Granny from the very beginning, taking this woman as a petty evildoer who brought disaster to the Southern Border and invaded the Three Palaces!

Moreover, their dignity was insulted, they were angrily unified, and actually overlooked such a crucial matter!

”All of you get out of the way, this is a matter between me and the Gu Ancestor’s family. Irrelevant people, stand aside!” Gu Changsheng’s brows furrowed coldly as he lightly chided, his eyes, sharp as torches, swept across the panic-stricken Gu women. ”Although I don’t want to harm the innocent, if you are truly so blindly loyal to the Gu Ancestor’s family, then don’t blame me for being merciless when I act!”

With that said, Gu Changsheng didn’t pause, regardless of the dazed Gu women in front of him, Red Sleeve was just a wave away!

An endless surge of Inner Strength, in an instant, like an avalanche, flooded forward!

In a moment, the blocking Gu women were tossed aside!

A broad pathway opened towards the doors of the Three Palaces Hall. Gu Changsheng was satisfied, one hand holding her son, she stepped out and headed straight for Gu Ancestor Cang Lan with a determined approach!

”You choose not to take the wine of respect but must be forced to drink the wine of penalty. You won’t turn back until you hit the south wall! Old one, let me ask you again, will you withdraw your troops and hand over military authority, or shall I kill you and take back the authority?” From Gu Ancestor Cang Lan’s attitude, Gu Changsheng had already confirmed, her guess was mostly true!

For, she saw in the eyes of that old woman high above, an ambition that knew no bounds!

”You!” Gu Ancestor Cang Lan, pointing with her cane at the woman in front of her, was full of doubt and uncertainty.

”Me? Yes, me!” Gu Changsheng took another step forward, her expression stern, ”I am the daughter of Fenghuang Ruoshui, they call me Fenghuang Changsheng. Old one, your Three Palaces are so claimed to be aloof from the worldly affairs, but are you aware of the Xiangka Clan’s rebellion and the downfall of the Phoenix Imperial Clan that happened years ago?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Ancestor Cang Lan’s body staggered, only able to barely stabilize herself with the support of her clansmen behind her, preventing any disgraceful display.

”The Three Palaces and Six Halls of the Southern Border, just one of the Six Halls, the Xiangka Clan, could so easily succeed in their coup — don’t you find that strange?” Gu Changsheng’s voice was as clear as the water of a cold pool, her gaze fiercely fixed on Gu Ancestor Cang Lan, ”I am merely here in the Southern Border to take back what belongs to me, yet you wage war in the name of national unrest. When my mother’s Phoenix Clan was annihilated, and our blood stained the Phoenix Flying Peak, didn’t you hear a whisper of it over the mountain? In the same national unrest, twenty years ago you ignored it, yet twenty years later you send troops to block my way. Old one, why is that?”

”Shut up! Shut up! A child spouting nonsense and stirring up the crowd!” The cane thudded loudly as Gu Ancestor Cang Lan, her face purplish with rage, shouted hoarsely.

”All right! I’ll shut up. Just as well, my home’s Manman has something to ask you, so let him ask!” Gu Changsheng, going with the flow, spoke upon hearing this.

Gu Ancestor Cang Lan’s complexion changed at these words.

She had never heard the name Manman before.

But Gu Changsheng bringing up Manman at this moment indicated that she had a plan up her sleeve!

Thus, Gu Ancestor Cang Lan couldn’t help but respond with caution!

As long as Gu Changsheng didn’t press step by step, and didn’t announce her wild ambitions to the world, there was still a chance for things to turn around!

With old hands full of wrinkles clutching the cane tightly, Gu Ancestor Cang Lan’s eyes were filled with resolve!

But her resolve crumbled to dust in an instant when she saw the Holy Golden phantom slowly emerging from Gu Changsheng’s brow, scattering completely!

”Descendants of the Gu Ancestor, how dare you break the ancient oath with me, offending deities!

Thunder rumbled, and a brilliant golden light surged, the wrath of thunder reverberating across Three Palaces Peak with the sound of rage!

Even Gu Changsheng was utterly dazzled by Manman’s flashy entrance!

Damn it!

So damn explosive!

The gu was the same old gu, and Manman was still that same old Manman!

But Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but look up at the sky, damn it, where was all this thunder coming from?

Offending deities?

It seems so serious!

What was Manman up to? Was he about to show off the power of his gu?

After the rebellion against the heavens, Gu Changsheng truly feared thunder!

”Boom!”

A bolt of thunder struck down!

With the force of mountains crumbling and earth splitting, it descended accurately in front of the Gu Ancestor Cang Lan and her family!

Gu Ancestor Cang Lan’s face instantly turned pale, and she curled up on the ground, unable to rise!

In dribs and drabs, the people led by Gu Ancestor Cang Lan kneeled down!

Even behind Gu Changsheng, the thousand-strong Great Accomplished Gu Women of the Southern Border, were scared to the ground!

What a display!

How domineering!

”Divine Soul!” With eyes rolling back, Gu Ancestor Cang Lan, an old woman shaking, her Three Souls departing and Six Spirits ascending, dared not face the Holy Golden phantom before her.

Behind her, the people of the Gu Ancestor’s clan were truly afraid!

Summoning the true Divine Soul—when Gu Changsheng disregarded the Gu Mountain and Insect Sea to climb the Three Palaces Hall, they too had thought of it!

But that was just a thought!

Now, their conjecture had unbelievably come true!

Deities are sacred, not to be desecrated!

”The sin of offending deities is the same as defying the heavens! I originally thought that you, mere humans, wouldn’t have such audacity. Unexpectedly, this girl’s speculation turned out to be true. I demand accountability from you as a divinity, and it truly calls forth heavenly punishment!” Manman’s voice, ethereal and distant, sounded as if coming from an ancient and remote place, causing those who heard it to shiver.

”No! No!” Hearing this, Gu Ancestor Cang Lan shook her head in panic, her old eyes filled with fear.

Manman just looked at her, his bug eyes exerting boundless pressure...
