“How do I address you?”

Gu Qingshan was quite curious and decided to ask the woman in gold armor for her name.

The woman hesitated for a while, then replied in a quiet voice, “My name is Ning Yuechan.”

It was really her!

This was Ning Yuechan, a name that everyone knew. Ning Yuechan, the Celestial Pole Sacred Lady. Ning Yuechan, a cultivator whose gifting shocked the world.

Ning Yuechan, the woman of every male cultivator’s dreams!

Ning Yuechan fell silent for a moment. She was waiting for the usual gasp, the usual passionate gaze, as well as the usual mushy and grandiose oaths.

Every time she met a young male cultivator, every single one would do this, regardless of who they were.

These male cultivators seemed to have forgotten that Ning Yuechan was much more powerful than most people and didn’t need them to try so hard to protect her.

But it was hard to blame them. The person standing in front of them was Ning Yuechan, after all.

Gongsun Zhi waited a while to allow Gu Qingshan to go through this process as well.

After all, he’d managed to get rid of the army of Earth-travelling Demons and had gotten them out of this sticky situation, so he had to repay this favor.

But after waiting for a while, Gu Qingshan didn’t do anything nor say anything. He didn’t even react.

Wait, what?

The two of them looked at him strangely, only to find that Gu Qingshan was still standing where he was with a grim face, and his thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed.

Ning Yuechan concluded that this boy was a strange fellow.

But it was hard to blame Gu Qingshan. Everything happening right now wasn’t within his expectations. It didn’t match what he knew from history.

He had fallen into deep thought.

These two people were going to fall to the enemy, one after another. Why were they together?

What had happened back then that historians didn’t know about?

Besides Gu Qingshan, none of the players knew that these two had actually been together before falling to the enemy.

According to historical records, they had died pretty far from one another.

But what he was seeing now didn’t match his memory.

Gu Qingshan became anxious now.

This twist in history was filled with a strange and unimaginable mystery, while the shadow of death was coming closer and closer.

Since the army of Earth-traveling demons had surrounded these two people, that meant that the demon army had discovered them long ago.

Gu Qingshan was bent on escaping, but even if Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan were to let him go, he wouldn’t get far either.

So the moment the demon army launched their attack, it wouldn’t take much for them to kill off a mere Qi Refiner cultivator like Gu Qingshan.

What could he do to keep his life?

Gu Qingshan forced himself to calm down.

Sacred Path Faction and Celestial Pole Sect were very far from one another, and these two major sects didn’t interact much with one another.

Gongsun Zhi was much older, while Ning Yuechan had only started to rise later. From the historical records, the two of them had practically no dealings with one another and might have never even seen each other before.

If that was the case, then these two were together right now likely because they had to complete the same mission given by the military.

That must be it. They must be on some mission, or perhaps they completed something.

This matter must be extremely important. Otherwise, there would be no reason why the demon army would have sent out such powerful numbers of demons to hunt them down.

When tomorrow came, Gongsun Zhi would fall to the enemy. He was going to fall within this huge formation that he had set up himself.

That probably meant that he had purposely distracted the demon army so that Ning Yuechan could escape.

Unfortunately, Ning Yuechan had fallen to the enemy one day later at a spot very close to the safety of the human army base camp.

She had nearly reached the safety zone of the human army, but the five demon generals had caught up with her, and she’d died after fighting for one whole day and one whole night.

She had spent the whole day and whole night fighting without even sending out a single messenger talisman, and that’s why nobody had come to save her.

Gongsun Zhi had sacrificed himself so that Ning Yuechan could escape, while Ning Yuechan had been surrounded by her enemies and perished without anyone coming to her rescue.

It was such a strange string of events that nobody would believe it if Gu Qingshan hadn’t known all this history beforehand.

And the biggest mystery of all—what had they done to make the demon army hunt them down so hard?

In his previous life, these shocking secrets had been buried in the great river of history after they had both fallen to the enemy.

But!

However!

Something was still not right.

This place was still way too far from where they would eventually fall to the enemy. Even if Gongsun Zhi used all his strength and power to run, there was no way he would have reached the place he should have.

It was too ridiculous and didn’t make sense at all.

Wait a minute…

A light flashed across Gu Qingshan’s heart.

“Greetings, Sacred Lady,” Gu Qingshan clasped his hands together and asked anxiously, “When I was at the army camp, I saw a Faceless Giant and some Blood Drinking Demons go past. Were they after the both of you?”

Ning Yuechan had waited for his reaction for so long, but in the end, this was his first question. She couldn’t help but be stunned for a few moments.

She didn’t think too much about it and answered, “They were hot on our heels initially, but for some reason, they eventually went past us, so we switched directions and came here instead.”

Gu Qingshan thought about it for a long time before finally reacting. He pulled out the blood-red jade plate in his hands.

So that’s what had happened.

That demonic bird that he had killed was carrying the latest information on these two people in front of him now.

He had killed the demonic bird and even burnt its body to ashes, so the Faceless Giant never got the latest information on their target.

So Gongsun Zhi and Ning Yuechan had managed to escape that hunt down purely by coincidence.

And that was why the two of them had landed here, far off from where they were supposed to have gone to according to history.

So he was the cause of this problem in the first place.

He was like that butterfly that kept fluttering its wings and caused a small change in the historical events that should have been set in stone.

Gu Qingshan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

His cultivation level was too low, and so he had planned to avoid them so that he could survive the escape of the army camp.

But fate was so ironic. He had actually done something that would turn his plans upside down.

Instead of avoiding them, he’d ended up meeting these two legends.

Even if he wanted to leave now, it was probably too late.

These two people’s lives seemed to be sealed in fate. The moment they would die, there would be absolutely no way that Gu Qingshan could find a way out from the surrounding demon armies.

He was definitely doomed to die.

The moment Gu Qingshan took that blood-red jade plate out, Gongsun Zhi’s expression changed.

He waved his hand, took the blood-red jade plate from Gu Qingshan, and filled it with Spirit Power.

An eerie and inhuman voice rang out from the jade plate.

“Target is moving toward the south, east 726, south 94. Instruction: Faceless Giant, Blood Drinking Demon army to chase and attack target.”

Gongsun Zhi was a very intelligent man and asked only after a few moments of thinking, “This Faceless Giant and those Blood Drinking Demons were coming after us. So does that mean you killed off their messenger?”

“It was purely by coincidence. The messenger was already hurt when I saw it,” replied Gu Qingshan honestly.

Gongsun Zhi inspected the jade plate carefully and slowly exhaled. He said, “This jade plate is real.”

He looked over at Ning Yuechan.

Ning Yuechan nodded and replied, “He’s not lying. My demonic beast did injure the messenger but wasn’t able to kill it or capture it.”

She then asked Gu Qingshan, “I see that your cultivation level hasn’t even reached Foundation Building, so logically speaking, you couldn’t have even caught up with that messenger. How did you manage to kill it?”

Gu Qingshan patted his military bow and said, “I have a habit of using a bow, so I have some pretty good archery skills and thus I was able to kill the messenger from afar.”

The two of them looked at him suspiciously, so Gu Qingshan knew he had to gain their trust.

Gu Qingshan took his military bow out, nocked an arrow on the string, then raised his arm to shoot.

The grey shadows became a bright trail of light, flying like dragons and serpents.

More than ten arrows made a sound at the same time, and they all landed on the statue on the rooftop.
