Above all spirits

Chapter 448 The Prison Commander (Part 2)

Seeing Guang Xuzi's guilty look, Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh to himself.

'This guy doesn't seem to have pure motives for participating in this trial, kid.'

"Indeed, and haven't you noticed? Whether it's Guang Xuzi or Xue Lingjian, their intentions seem to be directed at the Prison Suppression Division."

'If we actually pass the trial, let's not choose the Prison Guard; it looks like something bad is going to happen.'

'...'

"What's wrong? Looking down on the successors of the Gou Dao sect?"

'I probably would have thought the same thing before I came, but now that I've seen it, my opinion is different.'

'Why? ’

'Because my motives are no longer pure.'

'Why... Holy crap, you're not actually going to the bottom of this ravine, are you?!'

Since Gu Yun only focused on this one place from beginning to end, Werner could easily figure it out.

'clever.'

'I wish I were confused. Please, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you. Really, please.'

'We are symbiotic, therefore the proposal is invalid.'

'I... sigh... never mind, your decision probably won't change. My whole life has truly been like walking on thin ice.'

Gu Yun did not refute this point.

Throughout the entire trip, Werner could indeed be described as walking on thin ice.

However, he wasn't saying they should just blindly go straight ahead, something Werner certainly understood.

But with his back to the other side, he had the capital to take this risk.

Of course, using the other side as a springboard to randomly log back into the upper realm is not a safe choice; it should only be used as a last resort.

Once or twice is fine, but three or four times, from a probability point of view, there will always be one time when Gu Yun is in deep trouble.

such as.

Suddenly appearing in the residence of a demon king or god king, or being trapped in a gathering place of void creatures, are all unknown and enormous risks.

Therefore, just to be on the safe side.

Before leaving, Gu Yun would also take some time to scout out the weapon shop and determine the sword blank needed to perform "Sword Escape".

Although the ability "Sword Escape" has a bit of a conceptual god feel to it, it's not actually that; this thing has really a lot of limitations.

First, as is known, one needs to sense the sword; otherwise, it's meaningless. However, Gu Yun cannot be certain whether the ravine below will hinder his perception.

Secondly, the swords that can be recognized by the "Sword Escape" mark are not applicable to all swords.

There are two known types of sword bodies that Gu Yun cannot use for "Sword Escape".

One type is a sword that is controlled or in use. The blade of this type of sword is consciously covered with a layer of unnatural energy, whether it is magic or elemental power. In short, when the sword is controlled by other beings, one cannot forcibly use "Sword Escape". Gu Yun had some understanding of this type in the lower realm.

Another type is a newly discovered one from the Upper Realm. For some unknown reason, Gu Yun cannot use Sword Escape on sword-shaped spiritual treasures engraved with spiritual patterns. Therefore, in order to use Sword Escape in normal combat, Gu Yun needs many sword blanks, that is, swords that have not been forged with spirit.

There should be quite a few weapon shops that meet both of these conditions.

"This is..."

As Gu Yun pondered, she unknowingly arrived at the stone bridge.

Looking up, all I could see was darkness.

The pitch-black stone bridge in front of us is almost indistinguishable in color from the abyss-like ravine behind it.

It seemed very strange at that moment.

If it weren't for the smooth stone surface that reflects a faint light, it would almost appear as if the bridge didn't exist.

Simultaneously.

There were no guardrails on the bridge, and the purpose of this was unknown.

Aren't you afraid someone might fall down?

however.

Despite the intimidating scene, the stone bridge evokes a strange sense of warmth.

"This is obsidian."

"It is said that obsidian can calm the mind and focus the spirit."

Seeing that Gu Yun was confused, Guang Xuzi explained.

It turned out to be the case.

Calming the mind and spirit...

No wonder.

Although Gu Yun didn't seem to need it, if we extrapolate from this effect, should I have given some negative feedback when crossing the bridge...?

At the entrance to the stone bridge stood two demon generals clad in gray armor.

As for what level of demon general it is.

Gu Yun didn't know.

The two then presented their tokens and invitations.

One of the demon generals took the token, glanced at it, and then let them pass, giving the impression that the security wasn't that tight.

Gu Yun even had reason to be certain that the other party wasn't verifying the authenticity of the token, but simply glancing at the ranking.

After all, he was going to meet the examiners from the preliminary examination, and no one would dare to cheat in this regard.

Subsequently.

Another demon general spoke up.

“Don’t look down.”

"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."

His tone was somewhat heavy, clearly intended as a warning to Gu Yun and Guang Xuzi.

After that, the two demonic swords that were stationed there resumed their guard duty.

"what."

"It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because I was already panicking and didn't plan to look at it."

"That really piqued my curiosity."

Guangxuzi said leisurely.

"Hey hey!"

"Wait for me! Don't you have any sense of companionship?!"

Before Guangxuzi could even begin to reflect, Gu Yun had already stepped onto the stone bridge alone.

Belatedly realizing what was happening, Guangxuzi quickly followed.

Gu Yuncai only realized what was happening after walking on the stone bridge.

It wasn't as narrow as I had imagined.

It can accommodate about five demons walking side by side.

It seems that something interfered with my perception before, causing me to only be able to obtain information through vision, thus creating a kind of illusion.

Perception here must be severely restricted.

Is it really necessary to reserve a few sword embryos?

Guangxuzi stepped forward and said.

"Brother Gu, aren't you even a little curious about what's down there?"

Gu Yun answered "truthfully".

"I'm curious, but I'm too scared to look."

"Didn't the guards give a warning?"

As the saying goes, "If you don't court death, you won't die."

"you know?"

Guang Xuzi gave a soft "oh" and walked ahead of Gu Yun without replying to Gu Yun's words.

But he seemed certain that Gu Yun would look down.

He was quite certain that Gu Yun's expression just now was genuine.

They believed that Gu Yun was only noticed because he was following or walking alongside them and did something.

"Since Brother Gu isn't going to look, then hurry up and cross this bridge."

"What's below is quite troubling."

what.

This guy.

It has to be said that they have a real knack for understanding people's psychology.

But he miscalculated.

Gu Yun wasn't the kind of person who would be led astray by curiosity. Taking an extra look wouldn't increase any opportunities, and taking one less look wouldn't reduce any variables.

Therefore, on this journey, he will only obediently go to seek advice.

really.

At a certain moment, Guangxuzi suddenly turned around.

Unfortunately, the scene that Gu Yunyin was captivated by looking down at the things below did not occur as I had imagined.

Instead, he and Gu Yun stared at each other.

Suddenly.

An inexplicable sense of embarrassment welled up inside me.

He cursed inwardly, thinking, "Why doesn't this kid play by the rules?"

But he tried to make excuses for himself.

"Brother Gu, why aren't you following yet?"

Gu Yun smiled slightly, but didn't waste any words with him, and continued walking slowly on her own.
