Chapter 675: Chapter 686 Our Plan

Gu Yuxiao was suddenly very jealous of the woman that Chen Hao loved.

“So grandmother, did you catch the lady in white to lure him to us?” Gu Yuxiao asked.

“That’s right, because this is the safest way. As long as we manage to lure him here, I will have a way to capture him and hold him here. But no matter how hard I tried, I didn’t expect that he would manage to escape several times! I thought that Gu Feng would succeed this time but as usual, he still managed to escape!”

“Grandmother, you all want to capture him to obtain the Essence of Nine Cycles. Isn’t the Essence of Nine Cycles hidden in his body? Are you guys planning to kill Chen Hao?” Gu Yuxiao asked.

Gu Yuehong slightly shook her head. “As you said, we only want the Essence of Nine Cycles. Whether or not to kill him is an option. It depends on him!”

Thud!

Gu Yuxiao suddenly knelt down.

“Grandmother, I’m begging you. Please don’t kill Chen Hao! He’s a good person. Besides, you don’t have to kill him so why do you want to take away his life?”

Gu Yuehong pondered for a long time. “I have to make my own decision in this matter. The most I can promise you is that I will spare his life if he doesn’t resist!”

As she saw Gu Yuehong relent, Gu Yuxiao was on cloud nine! It was as if a heavy weight was taken off her mind!

“Get up, my silly granddaughter!”

Gu Yuehong shook her head and smiled bitterly.

“Grandmother, if not many people know about this secret, how did you find out? I’m guessing that the immortal man had a lot of enemies because it doesn’t make sense that he would be easy to find after each reincarnation.”

Gu Yuxiao asked curiously.

“Yuxiao, there’s a reason why I’m so fond of you. If only Gu Feng has half the intelligence you have.

You’re right, he is a primeval God—there are almost no flaws in everything he does. However, nothing is ever perfect in the world. He can hide a secret for a long time, even for tens and thousands of years, but as long as people are determined enough to look for it, they will eventually find a weakness—which was how Chen Hao was found. We found out about it only because a cunning and evil man told us, in exchange for an ancient artifact of the Gu family, the Ghost Flower Compass.”

“Actually he wanted to tell us the secret to make us hand over the Ghost Flower Compass before wiping out the Gu family. Haha, that man that tried to trick us almost died here!”

“No wonder you said that forty years ago we had an enemy looking for revenge and you ordered the Hidden Tribe to search for that man’s whereabouts! So this was what it was about!”

“That’s right. Now that you know most of the story, the truth is those who know about Chen Hao’s background are not only us—there are already many forces that know about him and have started going after Chen Hao. Nowadays, Chen Hao is improving rapidly every single day, not because he has a special physique, but someone purposely did something to release some of his hidden skills and they didn’t release much. If I had to use a metaphor to describe the amount of skills he released, it is like a spoonful of seawater from the vast ocean or picking up a grain of sand from the endless desert!”

“Chen Hao is already so terrifying with this small amount of skills. Imagine if all his skills were released and activated, even if he activated only a cupful of seawater, we would be like ants to him; one lift of his leg and we might not even know how we were killed! By then, the future of the Gu family would not have the opportunity to rise to glory for ten thousand years, instead it would be full of chaos and tragedy. So, do you understand why the Gu family and the King of Nine Doors are so afraid of him?”

“Besides that, I have secretly watched him in the past. Back then, he was weak and cowardly, but suddenly he started to gradually become more cold and calculating. He’s growing faster and believe it or not, even if you meet him again after just a few days, you can obviously sense that he’d changed, so much that he will look like a stranger.”

“This is what I have always been afraid of! This was a sign of danger, another warning!”

Gu Yuehong had a solemn look on her face.

Gu Yuxiao was also stunned. She nodded numbly.

“Grandmother, what about us, the Gu family? What is the Gu family’s origin? And you mentioned that the martial arts masters from the Ancient Civilization ran away, where did they go?”

It was as if Gu Yuxiao had opened a door to a new world.

“They fled everywhere. There are also some of them that have been living on earth. However, most of them entered a place called the Border Realm. Compared to earth, the Border Realm had a lot more Vital Spirit!”

“Border Realm? Where is the Border Realm? Is it out of this world?”

Gu Yuxiao asked curiously.

Gu Yuehong shook her head. “No. The Border Realm is also part of the earth but it exists in a small crack between the earth and another dimension! And only a few people can successfully pass through this opening. Those who enter find it hard to leave, and those from the outside find it hard to enter!”

“As for us, the Gu family, tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors accidentally found some artifacts from the Ancient Civilization. From that he obtained some skills and it has been handed down to us until now—this made the Gu family one of the most powerful families on earth!”

“I think I understand!”

Gu Yuxiao nodded her head like she only understood half of what her grandmother said.

“Well, now that you know everything, I believe you won’t stop me from what I’m about to do. After all, things have already turned out this way and there’s no turning back now. In the future, even if we don’t deal with Chen Hao, Chen Hao will never spare the Gu family. Moreover, now that that ship has sailed, the Gu family is in danger. I believe that you will not be carried away by a fruitless love and put the hundreds of lives of the Gu family at risk, right?”

Gu Yuehong said mournfully.

“Actually, grandmother, the Chen Hao I know is not a cruel and merciless person. Since the relationship between him and us isn't sour yet, if we clear things up, maybe we can make peace!”

“Ha ha, you’re wrong. You don’t know him at all, especially the current version of him! Well, you don’t need to explain anymore. Get out of here and stay at home. Don’t distract me and make me worry about you!”

Gu Yuehong waved her hand.

Gu Yuexiao wanted to continue but decided to leave as she saw that her grandmother was not willing to continue the conversation.

The doors of the secret chamber closed.

“You are wrong! You shouldn’t have told your granddaughter about us! This may cost your precious granddaughter her life. She has fallen for Chen Hao and women are always foolish in love! She might ruin our plan!”

Just then, the voice of a spirit could be heard in the chamber.

“I know my own granddaughter. Even though she has never been in love before, I told her everything to make her understand the stakes and danger. I am doing this to help her. Otherwise, the clueless girl might do something silly without us realizing and ruin our plan! So I told her about Chen Hao’s past to let her understand the difference between her and Chen Hao to force her to give up!”

“As for you, you had been pestering us for long enough! If you don’t fulfill your promise to the Gu family in the end, I won’t ever let you go even if I turn into a ghost!
