Chapter 718: Accompanying Brother Huazi on the Road
The world is indeed changing rapidly.
Gu Heng thought he was far ahead, but now it seems... he's still a long way off!
What's so great about beating up a Xuanxian? They can instantly kill a Demon General, and who knows if there are other even more powerful figures among them.
Rather than saying that the Jue Tian Pavilion appeared suddenly.
In fact, Gu Heng was more inclined to believe another possibility: that the Jue Tian Pavilion had existed for a long time, just like a huge and ancient force hidden deep within the Xuan Tian Realm. They had been developing for countless years, but only had to show themselves because of the arrival of the Demon Realm.
This kind of plot...
It was nothing unusual; after all, he had seen quite a bit in his previous life, and it was impossible for such an ancient force not to exist. "Thanks."
After asking his questions, Gu Heng bowed to the swordsman and then began to think about what to do after entering the Western Regions.
He really needs to find someone who has been to the Western Regions to guide him for a while, otherwise, once he enters the Western Regions, he doesn't know where there is a safe place to stay, or where there are so many demonic soldiers...
Gu Heng had no intention of playing the "fighting his way out" game.
His goal was to go to the Demon Realm unharmed. Once he could take one step across, he could travel freely using the system's "teleportation" function.
"Are you planning to go to the Western Regions?"
The swordsman suddenly looked up and stared at Gu Heng.
"Hmm? How did you know?" Gu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"My guess."
"Hehe~" Gu Heng chuckled dryly. If you can guess so accurately, why don't you go to the casino and play a few rounds? You're guaranteed to make a fortune!
"I can't see through your strength, but your words and actions don't seem like those of a seasoned worldly expert. Either you are really strong, or you are so weak that it's unbearable to look at."
The swordsman picked up his teacup again and took a sip.
Gu Heng remained silent, then activated his omniscient perspective. This swordsman posed no threat to him, so he was considered "very strong" in the other's eyes.
Then, this person took the initiative to ask him where he was going...
Perhaps they were also planning to go to the Western Regions?
"I do not yet know your name, sir."
Gu Heng already knew the swordsman's name; the swordsman was called "Tian Hua Zi." Although it sounded strange as a name, that was what the information stated.
"I am Tian Huazi, a mere sword cultivator," said the swordsman Tian Huazi, clasping his hands in greeting.
"So it's Brother Hua Zi. May I ask if you are also heading to the Western Regions?"
“That’s right, people need to broaden their horizons. But this isn’t my first time there. I’ve been there a few times before, and it’s been relatively safe.”
Tianhuazi laughed and said, "Since we are both going to the Western Regions, we are traveling the same way. Why don't we go together?"
Since the other party was willing, Gu Heng was naturally happy to travel with him, so he readily agreed. In any case, the "omniscient perspective" had made it very clear that Brother Hua posed no threat to him.
Even if Brother Hua had ulterior motives towards him, Gu Heng was not afraid.
He's an immortal after all. Although he doesn't even realize it himself, if it really comes down to a fight, he'll show you what it means to be a mighty immortal!
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Hua." Tian Hua laughed heartily, "Don't worry, although I'm not a good person, I won't deliberately try to cheat you."
Gu Heng was a little unaccustomed to such directness and frankness. After all, judging people is like looking through a thin veil; the more honest someone is from the start, the more likely they are to have something to hide...
Of course, it's also possible that they're just straightforward and won't do dirty work if they say they won't.
Tianhuazi picked up his sword, placed a few spirit stones on the table, and then went out.
Gu Heng followed immediately.
……
The shortest route to the Western Regions is to cross the Central Plains.
The Central Plains Dynasty has now changed hands, but it looks basically the same as before.
Gu Heng also heard some rumors that the mysterious new empress seemed to have a powerful figure backing her. The rewards she gave to her subordinates were exceptionally high-class, and although the change of dynasty had only lasted for less than half a year, the strength of the entire Central Plains Dynasty had increased significantly.
Therefore, the Central Plains region remains peaceful, and the wave of people heading to the Western Regions to fight the demons is undiminished, even more fervent than in the Eastern Frontier.
Gu Heng and Tian Huazi rented a carriage on the border of Zhongzhou and entered the Western Regions by land.
They kept a very low profile.
Gu Heng didn't know why Tian Huazi wanted to sneak into the village, but the quieter the better.
During the bumpy journey, Gu Heng chatted with Tian Huazi.
"...So, Brother Gu is not a novice cultivator at all. You even have a disciple. Taking on a disciple is no simple matter."
"That girl will definitely be amazing in the future, maybe she'll catch up with me soon." When Gu Heng mentioned Qin Yiyao, especially to outsiders, he always praised her without belittling her, even though he had spanked her little bottom quite a bit.
"Heh, I'm skeptical about that for now. In my opinion, Brother Gu is no ordinary person either."
Tianhuazi lowered his head, his voice deep beneath his straw hat.
"Where is Brother Hua? Have you always been a rogue cultivator and never joined any sect?"
"Yes, I've been alone ever since I can remember."
Tianhua's tone turned heavy, but only for a moment. He suddenly asked, "Brother Gu, have you ever seen someone who looks exactly like me?"
People who look exactly alike?
What does this mean? Does Brother Hua have twins?
"I'm sorry, I've never seen you before." "Is that so... I was being presumptuous, Brother Gu, please don't take it to heart."
Tianhuazi pulled his straw hat down low and said nothing more.
Sitting next to him, Gu Heng was a little confused...
