Above all spirits

Chapter 196 Returning to Canglan (Part 1)

"You have quite the leisure, don't you? I'd say the Star Moon Demon Clan controls the lifeline of the Black River Merchant Guild, with tons of funds. How could they possibly have clansmen who have fallen into the lower realms and made contracts with them?"

“Senior Ming is joking. I am neither the offspring of an elder nor a person of exceptional talent. I am just an insignificant figure in the clan. Being a member of the Star Moon Demon Clan is an honor, but it is also a shackle.”

Gu Yun's fabrications were incredibly eloquent. After borrowing the information multiple times, he figured the identity of the Star Moon Demon he had recorded back then shouldn't be too high, otherwise he would have recognized it to some extent.

In addition, he frequently visited places of ill repute.

He's most likely just an ordinary junior member of the clan.

Ming Tianshen nodded, not refuting Gu Yun's words, but simply raised his hand and used his soul power to activate the teleportation array. The array light lit up slightly, and he was preparing to locate Canglan Star.

He suddenly felt a resistance, and the light flickered twice before dimming, causing him to frown slightly.

Thinking it was a mistake on my end, I restarted it again.

But the result remained the same, and he told Gu Yun the conclusion in his heart.

"Kid, it seems that the teleportation array on Canglan Star is sealed. That's strange, unless there's a huge crisis, the teleportation array is usually not sealed."

Gu Yun nodded in agreement. He knew that this thing was a huge profit machine, like Earth's power plant, water plant, and so on. If it were banned, the daily losses would be enormous.

"I guess something big has happened over there. My contractor sent me a message about this. Senior Ming, could you please locate Apokolips for me? Thank you."

Mingtianshen did not refuse. Gu Yun's tone made him feel comfortable, and repositioning was just a matter of a few words.

He raised his hand again, channeled his soul power, activated the teleportation array, and located Apocalypse Star.

But this time, even the most basic flickering was gone.

This means that the teleportation array on Apokolips is not simply sealed off, but has been damaged.

This surprised Mingtian Shen even more, and he couldn't help but wonder what had happened on Canglan Star. If he didn't have important matters to attend to at the moment, he really wouldn't mind going with Gu Yun to join in the fun.

Gu Yun's face darkened.

A surge of anger welled up inside him.

That old fox is really cautious.

A slightly uncontrollable surge of irritability emanated from within him.

The God of the Underworld naturally noticed the change in the young Star Moon Demon Clan member before him, and it was not hard to understand that his contractor was probably not in a good situation.

Even if it's just a toy, no one is allowed to destroy it.

But this is Gu Yun's business. He will not empathize with Gu Yun, nor is he qualified to empathize with him, he said indifferently.

“Since the situation in that area is not optimistic, you don’t need to stay any longer. It’s not far from here to Canglan Star. With the racial advantages of the Star Moon Demon Clan, you should be able to arrive in two or three hours at full speed.”

Gu Yun naturally knew that it would take two or three hours to arrive at full speed.

But two or three hours is too long. Half a day has already passed. Who knows what might happen or what might happen over there?

By the time I arrived, everything would have already settled down, and it would be too late.

Although Canglan Star has Han Tian, ​​a pseudo-innate being, how can the royal family's foundation be underestimated? The ruler of Canglan Star is ultimately the Canglan Empire.

In addition, there are so many original sins.

Damn.

He had intended to build a teleportation array between the Crimson Flame Royal Family and the Ji Family at the time. If he hadn't argued with the Empress and let the matter drop, perhaps things could be different now…

Just when Gu Yun had no choice but to follow this worst possible course of action.

A male voice he had never heard before came to him.

To know.

It wasn't just Ming Tianshen who sensed Gu Yun's manic aura; everyone else also understood the situation and realized something was wrong.

“My envoy, if you just want to get to Canglan Star as soon as possible, there is a teleportation point nearby that is not known to the general public.”

This is a Heavenly General of the Crimson Flame Empire.

Naturally, the Crimson Flame Empire knew far more about its local teleportation arrays and surrounding teleportation points than the God of the Underworld.

“I remember there’s a small star near Canglan Star, but I can’t recall its name. However, I can pinpoint its location to you. It’s a transit point set up privately by some merchants. Since the losses don’t benefit Chiyan Star, we didn’t interfere even though we knew about it.”

"It's a bit small, but if it's just for you, it's not a problem."

Using a teleportation array requires payment from both ends, but the party using the teleportation array pays the majority of the cost, while the other party only pays some "toll" upon leaving the teleportation location.

Gu Yun knows this.

What he didn't know was why he was helping a demon from the upper realm whom he had never met before. Most demons wouldn't be grateful for such help, and might even be delighted to get something for free.

But right now, this is exactly what Gu Yun urgently needs, and he doesn't have much time to think about these trivial matters.

He nodded and thanked them.

"Thank you. Please trouble the heavenly general to activate the teleportation array for me."

The use of "thank you" and "heavenly help" instead of just "you" actually conveys a lot.

This was already the greatest gratitude Gu Yun could express in front of the God of the Underworld.

If we let it pass any longer, it will really be too late, and we should start to get suspicious.

A royal being from the upper realm was so humble towards another being from the lower realm.

The Heavenly General didn't mince words; his high rank and broad knowledge allowed him to discern Gu Yun's sincerity at that moment.

He stepped into the front of the formation, infused his soul power, and located the position he remembered. Although the God of the Underworld was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not stop him.

A burst of white light erupted instantly.

This indicates that the transmission has been successfully activated.

Awaiting transfer.

Without hesitation, Gu Yun stepped forward, stood in the center, and bowed to the God of the Underworld in thanks.

"Thank you for your help, Senior Ming. I am deeply grateful. The situation is still unclear, so I will take my leave now."

At the moment when the God of the Underworld nodded slightly.

Gu Yun's figure also disappeared at the entrance of the teleportation array.

When it reappeared, it was an inconspicuous little star near Canglan Star.

The surrounding buildings were all so simple.

However, as Tianjiang said, it was a private teleportation array among merchants. No one charged them any "toll" when they went out. The surrounding area was bustling with merchants coming and going.

The shadow beneath his feet twitched, and Gu Yun returned to his original posture.

No hesitation.

He immediately rushed into the void, charging towards the Canglan Star in his line of sight.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you have three minutes to tell me, the other remaining envoys should all be on Canglan Star, right? What exactly are they doing?"

A minute passed.

"If you don't reply soon, don't blame me for messing things up."

Two minutes passed.

"Very well, if I become a Heavenly Demon..."

...

"Alright, alright, alright, I'm here. Seriously, I've never seen such an unreasonable person as you."

"I only found out myself. After all, I'm not a regulator. As long as the Heavenly Demon is born without harm, I don't care what they do or what they don't tell me."

"What they did on Canglan Star was only to facilitate the birth of the Heavenly Demon."
