Chapter 268 One Layer of Disguise After Another
is it him?
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
Wu Zhao didn't know why he always had this illusion, even though there was a Ye Linyan who looked exactly like Jun Wu.
Even Ye Linyan's behavior and way of speaking are exactly the same as Jun Wu's, as if he is blatantly telling Wu Zhao that he is Jun Wu.
But she just couldn't help feeling that Gu Chen was his.
This wasn't the first time she had called out Junwu's name in front of Gu Chen.
There's always a subtle expectation in my heart, a hope that he is.
Calm breathing came through the receiver, followed by Gu Chen's somewhat confused voice.
"Zhaozhao, what are you saying?"
"What Junwu...?"
Wu Zhao's lips were tightly pursed, her thoughts were somewhat complicated.
Just as she was about to speak, an unexpected voice came from the other end.
"My lord, where is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao?"
"After three thousand years, I still miss this old friend who sealed us to the Demon God Pillar."
The conversation turned somewhat meaningful towards the end.
The voice is magnetic and gorgeous; even just hearing it has a captivating magic that draws you in.
...It's Agares.
How could she have forgotten about this guy?
No wonder Gu Chen was able to make a phone call through Barbatos's barrier.
An inexplicable disappointment dimmed Wu Zhao's eyes for a moment.
"Nothing, what are you doing over there?"
Agares' voice carried a faint hint of amusement.
"Didn't you tell me to stay away from the Wu family? I've finally escaped from that hellish place, the Yellow Springs Yin Gate. Shouldn't I be able to move around freely as long as I don't cause trouble?"
Wu Zhao: ...
Why are the demon gods of the first ten pillars so difficult to deal with?
I shouldn't have summoned them.
Speechless, Wu Zhao pressed his temples and sighed.
"Alright, nothing serious is wrong on my end. It'll be resolved soon. It's just that a few people died at the school... that might cause some trouble."
dead?
Gu Chen paused, and his tone became somewhat low.
"Are many people dead? What happened?"
Wu Zhao looked at the four corpses on the bed and sighed with some regret.
"There were four girls. They arrived too late; it was too late to save them."
This evil spirit is so powerful that these girls playing games were doomed to die the moment it was summoned.
For the past few days, the evil spirits have been playing around with them, trapping them in this dormitory and slowly absorbing their life force.
If we had come a few days later, once this dark nest was fully formed, everyone in the dormitory would have become nourishment for the evil spirits.
"I'll contact the garrison to handle it. Zhaozhao, you should come back as soon as possible."
As Gu Chen spoke, he nodded to Lan Yao, who was standing to the side.
Some faint sounds of conversation came from the other end of the phone. Wu Zhao listened while looking around the ordinary dormitory.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll be back in a bit."
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The dormitory, which had just been vandalized by the evil spirit, was in a state of disarray, but Wu Zhao could still tell that the four girls had decorated it very warmly.
The bed curtains that had fallen to the floor were still a soft sky blue, with pretty little flowers hanging from them.
A few withered flowers fell out of the overturned vase by the window.
A hoarse cry could be heard in my ears, and four faint ghostly spirits were swept away by a gust of wind.
The spirits of those who have committed wrongdoings and died violent deaths cannot be reincarnated immediately.
"Ugh……"
She slowly turned the ring on her hand.
"My lord, you must not act rashly."
A faint voice sounded in my ear, tinged with a hint of panic.
"Unauthorized interference with the reincarnation of mortals... is a grave crime, have you forgotten?"
Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow.
"What are you thinking? I'm not crazy."
"It's just a bit of a pity."
His life, which had just begun, ended in his own foolishness.
People always have to pay the price for the stupid things they do.
Turning to leave, Wu Zhao raised his hand and closed the door.
With a soft thud, the wobbly vase fell off the windowsill.
It smashed to pieces.
Barbatos was sitting on a branch of a large tree downstairs in the dormitory building.
After seeing Wu Zhao walk out of the building, he landed lightly on the ground.
"My lord, has everything been resolved?"
Barbatos looked at Wu Zhao with a knowing smile.
It seems things aren't going very smoothly...
He had just sensed the presence of Danadus.
That guy has always worshipped Wu Zhao like a god; he doesn't resemble a demon at all!
That blindly obedient fool is not worthy of being one of the top ten demon gods like him.
Thinking about this, Barbatos couldn't help but frown.
If it weren't for the suppression by the three demon gods in the first three pillars, how could Wu Zhao, a single human, possibly have controlled the remaining dozens of demon gods...
Are you secretly criticizing me?
Wu Zhao looked up at him, and although it was a question, his tone was very certain.
"How could that be? If Master is alright, I will release this barrier."
Barbatos lowered his brows and looked exceptionally respectful with his eyes downcast.
Wu Zhao chuckled softly, and slowly rubbed the ruby on her ring with her thumb.
A terrifying pressure suddenly descended upon Barbatos.
His previously calm face turned deathly pale in an instant, and his pupils returned to their blood-red vertical irises.
"If you're not satisfied with being able to walk in the human world right now, you can go back down and sleep on the pillar."
Wu Zhao spoke calmly, then walked past him indifferently.
Barbatos waited, his face covered in cold sweat, for her figure to approach the edge of the barrier.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
The emerald green barrier shattered instantly, and he gritted his teeth and lowered his head.
Damn Demon Pillars!
Damn the way of heaven!
……
The Gu Family Villa.
After Wu Zhao hung up the phone, Lan Yao also left the study.
In the quiet study, Gu Chen closed his eyes, seemingly resting.
"If you lie to her like this, have you thought about how you'll face her wrath later?"
A sudden figure appeared opposite Gu Chen.
"Each each other."
Gu Chen opened his eyes and answered coldly.
Agares laughed, his gaze towards Gu Chen filled with complex emotions.
"I never imagined that you had been plotting for three thousand years... just to bring her back to the human world."
"Having gone this far in your role as the Heavenly Dao, I don't know whether it's the human world that's more unlucky, or her."
He looked somewhat helpless, shrugged, and casually sat down on the sofa behind him.
"The pillar of heaven is almost broken. Are you sure she won't hate you if she finds out?"
Gu Chen's gaze swept calmly across the window.
"It's alright, Tianzhu will be fine."
He spoke very casually, as if he were recounting something completely ordinary.
"Hey, you're not planning to... hit me later..."
Before Agares could finish speaking, Gu Chen suddenly turned to look at him.
Those golden eyes were majestic and profound, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Then he gave a dismissive laugh.
"I really hope to see a different expression on your face someday."
"You haven't changed at all, just like before..."
Agares shook his head.
"I will only help you this once. I will not lie to my lord again next time."
"Good luck to you, Junwu."
