Chapter 438: The System's Kind Reminder
Old Gu felt that this matter could not be resolved so easily.
Blood Shadow Tower attempted to harm his disciple. Although Blood Shadow Tower of the Sun Flame Dynasty was destroyed, what is the point of destroying such a small fry?
Even the strongest have untouchable taboos.
They dare to bully him.
We should just charge straight to the deepest part and take down the Blood Shadow Tower's "backer" as well!
just now.
After listening to what the old man said.
Gu Heng remained silent, for there was a lot of information in those words that required careful consideration. He knew about this kind of thing, and he knew it in great detail. After all, he had always harbored the ambition of becoming a cultivator, and if he were to actually be able to cultivate in the future, he couldn't be a complete novice who knew nothing about it.
For an assassin organization like Blood Shadow Tower to open branches all over the world, it's impossible without powerful figures backing them up.
But Gu Heng didn't intend to pursue the matter further.
If we really want to investigate this, then we should.
That depends on Qin Yiyao.
Anyway, the little girl is already a cultivator, and a more powerful one at that. What can someone like him, who is only at the Qi Refining stage, do?
"Ding!"
"The mission 'Mysterious Heavenly Taboo' is quite difficult, therefore the system has decided to kindly provide the host with a hint when key information appears!"
"Key information obtained—the force behind Blood Shadow Tower possesses the entry point for the investigation of the quest 'Mysterious Heaven Forbidden Zone,' and an additional side quest 'The Fish That Escaped the Net' has been unlocked!" The system notification that flashed before Gu Heng's eyes made his eyes light up!
Such a coincidence?
When the old man came to discuss intelligence, the system actually responded.
This was completely unexpected.
It's important to know that the timing of the system's task releases is completely unpredictable. Sometimes a lot is released at once, and other times a new task suddenly pops up at a moment that Gu Heng could never have imagined.
The main idea is to do whatever you want.
But the system definitely had him under control.
Gu Heng doesn't have any particular fondness for missions, but he is drawn to missions that are exceptionally difficult and vague. This "Mysterious Heaven Taboo" is actually one such mission.
The goal is to uncover the "most unknown ancient secret" of the entire Xuantian Realm... Although it is difficult, the system has not given any starting point.
But Gu Heng was seduced.
Who doesn't like secrets? Especially secrets that concern the entire world. If we don't dig deeper and uncover the truth, Gu Heng will feel like ants are crawling all over his heart.
"The one who slipped through the net: uncover the conspiracy behind the Blood Shadow Tower and use this opportunity to obtain key information for the mission 'Mysterious Heaven Forbidden Zone'!"
There are no mission rewards.
It seems this task is indeed very temporary; its sole purpose is to give him a hint.
But that's enough.
At least now Gu Heng has a starting point to complete his mission.
"Mr. Gu?"
Old Gu looked at Gu Heng's thoughtful expression and remained silent, unable to understand what he was thinking.
Should we continue the investigation?
Moreover, if we were to investigate further, the resources required and the level of danger would be completely different.
The deeper one delves into this secret, the more likely they are to be killed.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Continue the investigation!"
Gu Heng slammed his hand on the table and made a decision.
It's rare that this old man has a group of "all-powerful" old buddies behind him. Since someone is helping him act as his eyes and ears, why not?
"Don't worry, Young Master Gu. Since I've come to you, I'm already prepared to do this arduous task!"
Old Gu was overjoyed upon hearing this. He quickly stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "I only hope that Young Master Gu will not find this old man useless."
That's great! If Gu Heng is willing to entrust this kind of thing to him, it's not because Gu Heng can't do it, but simply because he intends to take this opportunity to test his and his old friends' abilities.
If this is done well and beautifully, then I can hold onto this powerful figure even more firmly!
As long as one is a cultivator, there is bound to be an obsession with becoming stronger. Old Gu felt that, judging from Young Master Gu's strength, he had probably gone very far. If he also wanted to see a wider world, the only way was to "keep up with him and not fall behind".
"Don't mention it, I should be thanking you. It's not very convenient for me to do this kind of thing by myself."
Gu Heng returned the greeting immediately.
Old Gu shook his head and laughed, "Haha, Young Master Gu, you're too kind. It's my honor to be able to do something for you with my old bones!"
But after he said that, Gu Heng was also a little troubled.
Even if you don't say it outright, you should still give someone something in return for helping you gather information.
What kind of compensation will be given?
Giving gold and silver... Old Gu is not short of such things. He has a young master apprentice, and the young master of the Lu family must be giving him tributes every day. Money and such are dispensable to him.
Got it!
Gu Heng stood up: "Please come with me for a moment."
He led the old man to the backyard, where he hadn't had time to tidy up the treasures piled up there yet, but that wasn't the reward he was offering.
It was the ancient books he had just been looking through.
These are all cultivation techniques collected in the Ancient Secret Palace. Although Gu Heng tried each one, he couldn't use them at all. He even suspected that these ancient books might just be scripts that could only be read but not used...
However, nothing is absolute.
He might not be able to use it, but someone else might?
