Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 605: Temporarily avoiding the limelight?

Chapter 605: Temporarily avoiding the limelight?

This person's transformation was simply too drastic.

So drastic that Zhao Ying's mind couldn't quite process it.

A well-tailored dark suit, gray-white hair tied back neatly.

The previously relaxed and content expression had completely vanished.

Replaced by a depth that seemed tempered by time, carrying both scrutiny and gravity.

The old man held a cup of freshly brewed tea, the rising steam blurring his sharp eyes.

An expert's aura!

Zhao Ying's pupils contracted slightly.

Her heart shook violently.

That instantaneous spatial shift just now—she hadn't even seen how he moved!

Such methods far exceeded her understanding.

All her previous doubts about this "Manager Gu" instantly evaporated.

Replaced by a sense of reverence when facing an unfathomable existence.

Without a doubt!

This was definitely the true ace card Governor Chen had left behind!

She didn't dare be negligent, immediately explaining the situation in the most concise and clear language:

"Senior Gu, the situation is urgent!

Our Exorcist Division has taken in Kunlun Immortal Palace's Her Eminence Hua Jin and her chief disciple Wang Shouyi.

Today, some disciples from Kunlun Immortal Palace came seeking protection, and one of their elders was instantly killed by a remnant soul consciousness from Blood Blade True One. That remnant soul has already escaped back to Kunlun to report. According to Wang Shouyi, Blood Blade True One is a Supreme Elder of Kunlun Immortal Palace, with cultivation already at the 'Void Shattering realm,' known for ruthless methods and holding grudges. ȐåŊȯ₿Ёş

And this Blood Blade True One isn't just any ordinary Void Shattering cultivator—she's one of those ancient monsters tempered over millennia!

Although her targets are Hua Jin and Wang Shouyi, she's highly likely to take her anger out on the entire Exorcist Division.

Wang Shouyi believes Blood Blade True One's main body may already be on its way here, or has already locked onto the Exorcist Division's location, and will send powerful Ascenders to attack. Therefore, he advises we evacuate immediately. But Governor Chen is still in seclusion within Containment Area 0 and cannot be awakened, only leaving a note telling me to seek you out!"

Zhao Ying spoke rapidly, but with clear organization.

The anxiety and worry in her words were palpable.

Gu Changsheng listened attentively, fingers tapping on the table.

But when the words "Void Shattering realm" clearly came from Zhao Ying's mouth...

Gu Changsheng's finger tapping the table imperceptibly paused for 0.1 seconds.

The ancestor had told him that this world's Void Shattering realm was equivalent to Cangyun Realm's Void Fusion Realm.

However, Void Shattering realm cultivators in this world couldn't master miniature world power, instead controlling something more like domain power.

This was somewhat awkward.

He had been quite confident, thinking himself invincible in this world except for the ancestor.

But now another Void Shattering realm expert had suddenly appeared.

Even though the ancestor said this world's Void Shattering cultivators were weak, and he had experienced it himself.

But those two last time weren't at their peak—one almost out of True Essence, the other injured.

This Blood Blade True One was different; just the name sounded like a formidable character.

He didn't know if his Great Perfection Unity Realm could match up against her.

"Ahem..." Gu Changsheng coughed lightly to cover himself, taking another sip of tea: "Void Shattering realm? Hmm... not entirely unexpected. Among those old coffin dodgers of Kunlun Immortal Palace, it makes sense they'd have someone like this."

The ancestor had told him about Kunlun Immortal Palace and Great Thunder Temple.

He had some understanding of these two forces.

Gu Changsheng leaned forward slightly, hands crossed on his knees as he looked at Zhao Ying:

"In your opinion, the current plan is to temporarily avoid confrontation and evacuate the Exorcist Division?"

Zhao Ying met Gu Changsheng's gaze frankly: "Wang Shouyi believes so. He thinks facing a Void Shattering mighty figure head-on would be like an egg striking a rock. But evacuation involves many complications, and Governor Chen is..."

She paused, eyes sincere, "Anyway, we'll follow Senior Gu's arrangements completely!

If you say evacuate, we'll organize immediately!

If you feel... we can hold, our entire Exorcist Division is willing to advance and retreat with you!"

Gu Changsheng fell silent.

He leaned back on the sofa, his gaze seeming to penetrate the walls, looking toward some distant place.

"Void Shattering realm..." he silently mulled over these words in his heart.

His own cultivation was at Great Perfection Unity Realm, just one step away from Void Fusion.

But that final step felt like an insurmountable chasm!

The difference between Unity and Void Fusion was a fundamental leap—the distinction between initially grasping the laws of heaven and earth versus deeper spatial power.

Against a true, peak-condition early Void Fusion cultivator, his chances of victory were probably... extremely low.

One might even say negligible!

However...

It was the ancestor who brought him to this bizarre world that "opened his eyes."

The ancestor had given him rebirth!

He could never repay the ancestor's kindness!

The ancestor had even bestowed upon him this world's four divine beast totems to protect his body!

If not for the ancestor, how could he enjoy "First Tide Bath" and "Passionate Dance" here?

How could he change Dao Companions daily?!

The ancestor placing him here before going into seclusion, leaving the note saying "seek him in emergencies," showed the utmost trust in him.

It was entrusting him with the heavy responsibility of protecting this place!

Now with the ancestor still in seclusion, powerful enemies approaching, the Exorcist Division in imminent danger...

How could he, Gu Changsheng, retreat?

How could he betray this trust and kindness?

Avoid?

Where would he avoid to?

In all his life, when had Gu Changsheng ever needed to avoid anyone?

Moreover, the ancestor's foundation was here!

If he avoided this, what face would he have to meet the ancestor when he awoke?

Suddenly, a long-dormant heroic spirit, combined with deep gratitude toward the ancestor and sense of responsibility, surged from the depths of Gu Changsheng's heart, instantly overwhelming that trace of fear about the cultivation gap.

He raised his head, no hesitation remaining in his eyes.

Only sharp, exposed cutting edge!

"Temporarily avoid confrontation?" Gu Changsheng's lips curled into a cold arc, "What a joke! With me here, why should we avoid anything!"

"Let's go! Back to the Exorcist Division!" Gu Changsheng slammed his hand on the table, the sturdy peachwood table instantly turning to dust: "I want to see what this Blood Blade True One really is! How dare she threaten the ancestor's foundation!"

He steeled his heart.

Whether for the ancestor's foundation, or for his daily rotation of Dao Companions.

No matter how strong the enemy, he had to hold out!

At the very least, he needed to hold until the ancestor finished seclusion!

At this moment.

The outwardly calm Gu Changsheng had already prepared himself for death.

After all... this was a peak-condition Void Fusion cultivator!

Better find time to leave a final letter for the ancestor.

He'd recently found quite a few Dao Companions, all different types. If things turned hopeless and he ultimately died at the hands of this Void Shattering realm old monster...

He could only hope the ancestor would take care of them in their remaining years...
