Above all spirits

Chapter 145 Just swap the head

"What's wrong? Do you think Bai Qing'er has been tricked by those bastards?"

In just a few breaths, Gu Yun arrived above Qingyun City. The small black shadow on his shoulder emerged, seemingly sensing that Gu Yun was preoccupied with too many thoughts, and raised a question about Gu Yun's earlier inquiry about Xiao Li.

Gu Yun looked down and surveyed the entire Qingyun City.

This is Qingyun City, one of the three cities surrounding the Crimson Flame Empire.

Two remain.

One of them was Luo City, where Xiao Li had previously been.

The other one is Wind and Thunder City.

Said lightly.

"No, that's unlikely. The siblings arrived almost immediately, and I followed right after them. In such a short time, how could those self-righteous gods possibly consider so much?"

“That’s their stronghold. If it were me, I wouldn’t even consider having anyone dare to force their way in and snatch people.”

"Do you have concerns about Bai Qing'er herself?"

The little black figure then understood.

Gu Yun neither nodded nor shook his head, but simply stated his opinion.

"It's not that I'm worried, it's just that it's a bit strange."

"Bai Qing'er, a girl from a poor village, doesn't seem like someone who could be associated with the gods of the upper realm."

"But according to the gods, Qing'er seems to be some kind of divine being?"

"What kind of weird constitution is this?"

"not only that."

"There are many other aspects, such as cultivation talent, personality, appearance, and so on."

“They are all extraordinary people.”

"How should I put it, it just felt weird to me."

"If it weren't for her mother's actions at the time, which made me truly realize that Bai Qing'er was her biological daughter."

“I even suspect that she is just an adopted daughter, and that her identity has another origin.”

The small dark figure patted Gu Yundao on the shoulder.

"OK OK."

"You're asking me a pointless question."

Gu Yun: →_→

You have the nerve to say that? They're all from Baidu Encyclopedia, the all-knowing old man.

How the hell am I just a worthless monster who only watches the show and keeps asking for popcorn?

Thinking of this, a touch of bitterness suddenly welled up in my eyes.

"If you ask me some common sense questions, I might be able to explain a thing or two to you. I've never even heard of any gods or lords incarnate, and divine beings are not in my memory either."

"Let's talk again."

"Didn't Xiao Li also appraise it? From what you're saying, it seems to be a power even more powerful than the power of rules, so it shouldn't be wrong, right?"

"You're overthinking it."

"She's just an ordinary girl. What's wrong with a little genius being born out of thousands of humans? Don't make a fuss about it."

"Speaking of which, did you come here to find the Heavenly Demons?"

Gu Yun stopped thinking about it and slipped into the city. Following the flow of people, he became one of them in the blink of an eye.

As natural as leaves falling in the wind.

No one reacted at all.

Just a second ago, Gu Yun was not even in his sight.

He strolled casually down the street.

In response to Werner's question, he said.

"Yes, the Imperial City is hosting the Star Realm Conference in three days, so security will definitely be several levels higher than usual. It's obviously impossible to establish our base of operations in the Imperial City."

"Fenglei City is too close, and it is the smallest of the three cities. Its layout is very open and there are few buildings. After all, Fenglei City's main products are some medicinal herbs and some farm products, so it is not easy to hide. The number of people involved in this operation should be quite large."

"If it were me, I would choose between Luo City and Qingyun City."

“And Luo City is the city where Xiao Li used to live.”

"Although he lived in the capital for a while, his previous home was in Luoyang, so he probably went back quite a bit."

“This kid must have used the system to identify a lot of people on the street. Since he didn’t tell me anything about the name suffixes or demonization in Luo City.”

"There's nothing unusual about it."

"I don't think Los Angeles is a suitable base for the Celestial Demons."

"So I'll come to Qingyun City to take a look first."

The little black figure sitting on Gu Yun's shoulder nodded thoughtfully. Since following Gu Yun, it felt that its thinking level had been subtly improved a lot.

"Why not bring Xiao Li along? Doesn't his system have a function to find people?"

Gu Yun said helplessly.

"That function to find people needs to be upgraded after he improves his strength, similar to in-depth identification."

“I’ve looked into it; the efficiency is too low. The only reason he was able to find me was because there were three question marks in the middle of a bunch of text.”

"Finding someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"It's less of a search and more of a small map of a certain area, then a series of simplifications down to the name, and finally the result is presented on it."

"Another drawback is that the map is centered on the system and cannot be moved to other locations on its own."

"Forget it."

"I'll find it myself. With some sensory means and my speed, it'll be much faster than this."

"However, we should indeed find some cultivation resources for Xiao Li to boost his cultivation level."

He no longer needed to cultivate, and the resources of the lower realm were almost useless to him.

For now, just spend time advancing your demonic body and raising your life rank to Demon General.

So I rarely paid attention to this aspect and didn't inquire about it much.

Unlike the male protagonists in the fantasy novels he read on Earth, who participated in various competitions, entered secret realms, and constantly fought monsters to level up and steal holy medicines, he was different.

Once I get the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will, I'll start nurturing Xiao Li and leveling up his skills.

Ok?

and many more?

Am I playing some kind of simulation game?

Hongxiu's life-and-death imperial will, Xiao Li's system, Ji Ning's determination, and Bai Qing'er who is about to begin her cultivation journey...

Gu Yun: (ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻!

The small black shadow darted from the right shoulder to the left shoulder, it said.

"Gu boy, by the way, didn't you continue to mark Wan Xingchen before?"

"It's been marked, but I can't sense it anymore."

"I don't know if they've been discovered or have been quarantined."

The little black figure asked with some surprise.

"They probably just entered a barrier or hidden formation that has a sealing aura, right?"

"That's a mark of innate Qi. Anyone who can detect and erase it must be at least a half-step innate Qi cultivator, right?"

"Wow, if that's really the case, my goodness, the Heavenly Demon Clan is incredibly powerful."

Gu Yun didn't care.

"What's this?"

"There are always people better than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. Never underestimate any opponent."

"Otherwise, you'll end up like those bird-like siblings."

"Since it's still early, let's take a stroll around Qingyun City and see if there's anything unusual."

"I have a feeling that I will gain something from this."

As he spoke, a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"However, these Heavenly Demons may not necessarily become my opponents."

"To be fair, the Heavenly Demon Clan is a decent, readily available force."

"After all, faith is the devil."

"All you need to do is change the head."
