Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 713 Sunrise and Sunset

The old elder of Shushan stared at Gu Xun tightly with his brows in the middle, "The Imperial Master... is indeed a big shot. I am surprised that a big shot like you would do such a dangerous thing."

Gu Xun smiled and shook his head, turning to look at the golden Fuso tree, "Haha, this is not dangerous to me."

"Little brother seems to be very confident in his own strength."

Gu Xun responded unhurriedly, "Shu Mountain has devoted its entire clan's efforts to treat the Yin and Yang family with caution, and Gu Xun alone can be relied upon by the King of Qin to check and balance the Yin and Yang family... The eldest elder feels that I need to worry too much about myself. Is it safe?"

"Haha..." The Great Elder of Shushan didn't pay attention to Gu Xun's boastful words. He shook his head and asked, "Now that your plan of pretending to infiltrate has failed, what are you going to do next? Break out and escape?"

Gu Xun shook his head and denied, "My goal has not been fully achieved, and it is not time to leave yet."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Shi Qing stepped forward and asked.

Gu Xun shrugged and emphasized again, "I have no intention of harming Shushan, nor do I intend to be an enemy of Shushan."

"You are from the Qin State and an accomplice of the Yin Yang Family. Don't you think it's ridiculous to say this?" Shi Qing said sarcastically in a cold voice.

Gu Xun spread his hands, "Why not?"

"How Qin treats Shushan is Qin's business. How the Yin-Yang family treats Shushan is the Yin-Yang family's business. Is there any necessary logical relationship between my attitude and my attitude?"

"You are obviously using strong words to make excuses." Shi Qing felt that Gu Xun was just trying to deceive people with sweet words.

Gu Xun curled his lips, without comment, and turned to look at the great elder of Shushan, "Miss Shi doesn't understand, what about you, great elder?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and said, "The three guests please leave Shushan as soon as possible."

"I have no intention of pursuing you for deceiving Qing'er with your clever words, but Shushan will not welcome you either."

After hearing this, Gu Xun did not accept the other party's favor and said to himself, "Thank you, Great Elder, for your forgiveness. However, Gu Xun said that the matter has not been finished yet and it is not the time to leave. Besides, Concubine Yan has not returned to normal yet."

"Young man, what are you doing all this for?" Seeing that Gu Xun was unwilling to retreat, the great elder couldn't help but ask him about his purpose again.

"Curiosity." Gu Xun replied without hesitation, "I'm looking for answers to some secrets, and Shushan happens to be a very important part of it."

The old man sighed and asked, "For Qin?"

Gu Xun shook his head slightly, "It's just to satisfy curiosity, not for anyone else."

"In that case..." The Great Elder of Shushan poked the ground with his wooden staff, and lightning-like lightning spread from the ground. "I'm afraid I won't be able to do as you wish."

"The secrets of Shushan are related to the safety of all people in the world and must not be spied on by others."

Gu Xun looked at the people in Shushan who were about to make a move, and asked calmly, "It concerns the world...can it really be so serious?"

"I don't quite believe in such hyperbole."

"I don't care whether you believe it or not." The great elder held the staff in one hand and began to gesture in the air with the other hand. A faint blue light emerged from the fingertips, showing a series of floating lights in the air.

"Shushan's duty is only to protect."

After the words fell, except for Shi Qing who was holding the child, all the other Yu Yuan guards began to glow with a faint blue light, and their momentum began to rise rapidly.

More than a dozen breaths were connected together, which also created a lot of pressure. Zhang Han couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Gu Xun was isolated on the spot, watching the other party explode with interest. At the same time, the huge body of the Fuso sacred tree flashing in the mountain wind suddenly trembled. Countless golden leaves floated down, and golden awns fell into the body of Yu Yuan's guard as the leaves fell.

Zhang Han couldn't help but be surprised, "They can really get power from this sacred Fuso tree!?"

Gu Xun watched everything happen and slowly shook his head, "Wrong, the sacred tree does not give power, but suppresses power."

"Huh?" Zhang Han looked at his boss in confusion.

Gu Xun then explained, "The power in them is simply not consistent with this sacred tree."

"The aura of the Fuso Sacred Tree is hot and gentle, not violent and explosive, but the aura of these Yu Yuan guards is much more violent and chaotic. This power is simply difficult for ordinary people to control. The Fuso Sacred Tree is helping them suppress and control this power. , otherwise, let alone dealing with the enemy, they themselves will be the first to die."

"Then this power..." Zhang Han turned into a curious baby and couldn't help but ask.

Gu Xun smacked his lips and said, "Didn't Concubine Yan just say that?"

"Huh?" Zhang Han was a little confused. Did you mention this just now?

"The Fuso sacred tree grows in Tanggu, the place where the sun rises. It is located in the extreme east. This should be the extreme west, the place where the sun sets. Yugu... is also Yuyuan."

Gu Xun explained in a calm tone, "Since there is Yu Yuan to protect us, naturally there should be Yu Yuan. This may be the source of power that Shushan believes is harmful to the common people."

"Your Excellency is indeed amazing. You have thought of the core secret of Shushan so easily." The Great Elder of Shushan, who was communicating with the Fuso Sacred Tree, couldn't help but admired after hearing Gu Xun's analysis.

But he didn't care about Gu Xun seeing through these secrets - it didn't matter if he knew about Yu Yuan's existence, there were many people outside Shushan who knew.

Gu Xun smiled and did not answer this sentence.

He didn't just rely on association to guess, but he recalled the Yu Yuan seal mentioned in the plot of Qin Shi and connected it.

"Now that Your Excellency knows it, if you don't stop and leave now, I'm still willing to turn the conflict into friendship." The great elder of Shushan advised.

Gu Xun glanced sideways at the empty space and replied in a deep voice, "Please do it."

Seeing that Gu Xunming was stubborn, the people in Shushan no longer restrained themselves, and more than ten Yuyuan guards rushed out together.

Their actions also caused the Fuso tree to tremble further, emitting a stronger aura.

Gu Xun's eyes couldn't help but light up.

He just discovered that after Yu Yuan's guard caused the Fuso tree to move, his system panel flickered even more intensely.

It was precisely because of this that he allowed Shushan to take action instead of directly restraining them all.

Most of the dozen or so Yu Yuan guards rushed towards Gu Xun, while the rest rushed towards Zhang Han, using a close-quarters combat technique that both Gu Xun and Zhang Han were familiar with - the flying fighting technique.

Eleven Yu Yuan's guards launched attacks on Gu Xun almost at the same time, with fists, legs, elbows or knees. Every part of the body was the point where they exerted their strength, whether they were grabbing, locking, or attacking fiercely with martial arts. All the vital points on Xun's body are the focus of their attack.

But it was a pity that when they touched Gu Xun's body, they did not get any force feedback, only the feeling of being hit empty.

Gu Xun's figure disappeared from the spot immediately. Obviously, what they hit was just an afterimage.
