Chapter 1685: Chapter 855: This Is Absolutely Impossible! (Part 2)

His tone was calm, yet carried an indisputable coldness.

"To prevent you from harboring ulterior motives in the future, or betraying me at critical moments.

This ’Soul Seal’ will normally have no impact on you; in fact, it can even help shield you from lethal Divine Soul attacks."

He looked deeply at Nangong Yuexia and continued.

"As long as you work for me with peace of mind and without treachery, it will never be activated, benefiting you without harm.

But if you dare exhibit any sign of betrayal in the future..."

Gu Sheng’s voice suddenly turned icy, like eternal frost.

"Then, regardless of your location or cultivation level, with a mere thought, I can make you... vanish without a trace, never to be reincarnated!"

Nangong Yuexia felt the sinister imprint within her Sea of Consciousness, akin to a sword hanging overhead, and heard Gu Sheng’s chilling words, causing her face to blanch immediately.

She looked at Gu Sheng’s serene yet supremely authoritative visage, and the faint trust that had just arisen from their collaboration was instantly replaced by overwhelming fear and coldness.

She finally fully understood that working with this young man was not as simple as she imagined.

This was not merely a transaction; it was a gamble that involved pledging one’s very soul!

Gu Sheng did not disclose all the effects and activation conditions of the Soul Seal, leaving some things unsaid to provide enough room for imagination, thereby enhancing the intimidation.

He believed that with Nangong Yuexia’s intelligence, she would surely comprehend the peril involved.

Nangong Yuexia’s eyes flickered slightly, her fingertips unconsciously touched her brow, where a faint cold sensation seemed to linger.

She indeed comprehended, and understood that at this moment, she was the fish on the cutting board, any dissent would be futile, even possibly inviting instant harm.

She forcibly suppressed her indignation and chill, managing a semblance of a calm expression, and then asked.

"I understand.

Then, Young Master Gu, specifically, what do you need me to do next?"

Seeing her wisely avoid dwelling on the Soul Seal, Gu Sheng directly issued his orders.

"Three days from now, arrange for me and Situ Qingfeng to go to Golden Wing Ridge under reasonable identities."

"Okay."

Nangong Yuexia nodded.

"I will arrange it properly."

Gu Sheng continued.

"Externally, you need to announce in the name of Purple Mist Divine Sect that it’s you, Nangong Yuexia, collaborating with the son of Situ Ling, one of the top ten experts in the Southern Border, Situ Qingfeng, to jointly explore the newly discovered Secret Realm in Golden Wing Ridge.

And use this as an excuse to try to bring other Divine Sect forces, either friendly with Purple Mist Divine Sect or seeking a share of the pie, along for the ride, thus muddying the waters."

Nangong Yuexia’s eyes flashed with understanding; this was leveraging power while creating chaos to facilitate their actions.

"Moreover," Gu Sheng’s tone turned cold, carrying a calculative edge.

"You need to prepare a ’scapegoat’ in advance. Preferably... someone from the faction of City Lord Xiaguang.

Within the Secret Realm, or after leaving it, you must create the illusion that I had dealings with people from the City Lord Mansion, and even clashed over uneven profit distribution. How to execute this should be more within your expertise."

At these words, Nangong Yuexia was initially taken aback, then her eyes gleamed brightly! She instantly grasped Gu Sheng’s intention! It was not only to confuse the public but to shift the blame eastward, using the chance to weaken City Lord Xiaguang! If handled properly, it might even seize control of Xiaguang City’s power from the City Lord Mansion, bringing it under her command!

"Young Master Gu’s strategy... is brilliant!"

Nangong Yuexia couldn’t help but praise, her apprehension about Gu Sheng deepening; this person not only had formidable strength but also a meticulous and ruthless mind.

Gu Sheng merely glanced at her indifferently, his tone calm.

"A spur-of-the-moment thought. Initially, I only considered how to escape after killing you if negotiations failed."

Nangong Yuexia’s body experienced a subtle tremor at his words, cold sweat breaking out on her back.

She did not doubt the truthfulness of Gu Sheng’s words.

She smiled bitterly, her tone containing genuine admiration.

Moreover, according to reliable information, the beloved little princess from Five Poison Divine Sect seems to be very interested in the Secret Realm and might accompany us." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
