Chapter 2760 - Lord Guang Ling

Gu Chunhan could only think that, if his brothers and him suffered together, at least they wouldn't mock him in the future.

"Select those third-level and below cosmic cartographers! They must have money! Don't play tricks. With a single thought, I can end you! Just obediently cooperate," Tianming said. As he spoke, the Imperial Sword Prison surged on Gu Chunhan, making him realize that Tianming was definitely not joking.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The successful test on Gu Chunhan had indeed proven effective.

Next, they used him as the entry point, specifically targeting his brothers and friends. They didn’t live too far away, and Gu Chunhan could lead Tianming directly to their caves.

Their first target was called Gu Xiayang, another third-level cosmic cartographer. He was Gu Chunhan's cousin. Unlike Gu Chunhan, he had a sturdy build, very strong and robust. Although he also belonged to the demonhog race, he had a masculine and imposing appearance commensurate with a sense of justice, and his spirit was much better than Gu Chunhan's.

Gu Chunhan, told him that he was bringing two little servants as a gift for him. However, as soon as Gu Xiayang got happy, they attacked together and suppressed Gu Xiayang.

"Cousin, don't blame me. I'm also trying to survive!" Gu Chunhan miserably said.

"Beast! Betrayer! I'll eat you!" Gu Xiayang was quite tough at first, unyielding and struggling. He loudly shouted until over an hour later when Tianming's Imperial Sword Prison took effect and his seventh star organ instantly disappeared, and then he knew fear.

"Keep up, on to the next one!" Tianming said.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Gu Xiayang, the thin pig, repeatedly nodded along with Gu Chunhan. Although the two of them resented each other, they were full of awe for Tianming. On the surface, at least.

They were truly cousins, the number of soulstones on their bodies being almost the same. After capturing Gu Xiayang and looting him clean, Tianming's soulstone count reached thirty-five million.

"There should still be enough time!"

Although it was a primitive method, it was effective enough. Gu Chunhan's friends relied on their influence and mutual assistance during the blackout period, so they were living a comfortable life at home. That gave Tianming an opportunity.

Of course, Zi Zhen's combat power, the intelligence recheck by Yin Chen, and Tianming's wonders’ suppression all played important roles. Before taking action, Tianming would let Yin Chen go in and gather information to avoid being deceived by Gu Chunhan.

The third target! Tianming had Gu Chunhan and Gu Xiayang work together. This time, the target was only a second-level cosmic cartographer. After looting them, Tianming imposed the Imperial Sword Prison again and obtained four million more soulstones.

With many people, movement would be inconvenient, so Tianming didn't let his third target follow the rest. However, he left Yin Chen behind to monitor. If the guy didn't obey, Tianming could send him to the afterlife even from a thousand miles away.

Next, the fourth target, then the fifth target....

Using Gu Chunhan and Gu Xiayang as a wedge, Tianming uprooted their friends, directly looting them. When the soulstones weren’t enough, they even found some of their own mortal enemies and provided clues to Tianming. As long as they lived alone, they were all overturned!

Adding travel time, it took a full two and a half days for Tianming to gather sixty-five million soulstones and then stop sweeping.

"Really impressive.... To make you stay in the imperial capital, all eight of us had to go bankrupt," Gu Xiayang sarcastically said.

"What can I do? It's the antiqueans that’re wicked, not me," Tianming helplessly said.

"The New Shrine is the most wicked!" Gu Chunhan complained.

The deadline for Tianming to leave the imperial capital was only half a day away. The more urgent it was, the more passive he became. Therefore, he decided to let Gu Chunhan take the lead in finding people from the New Shrine.

"I know a person called Lord Guang Ling. He's a prominent figure in the antiqueans.... I say I know him, but in fact I just run errands for him! The New Shrine has strict rules for awarding permanent residency. The review alone takes a long time and ordinary methods can't give them much benefit, so people like us specifically run errands for Lord Guang Ling and introduce benefits to him," Gu Chunhan said.

"I don't understand the rest, but if something happens to me, all eight of you will be buried with me," Tianming said.

"Brother, rest assured, I’ll definitely use all my means to help you become a resident of the capital!" Gu Chunhan said.

"We'll see how you perform," Tianming said.

After arriving outside the New Shrine, Tianming looked at Zi Zhen. "Stay outside, don't go in,"

"It's too dangerous. Those people from the New Shrine are very strong. They say Lord Guang Ling is a sixth-level cosmic cartographer," Zi Zhen said.

Sixth-level cosmic cartographers were top-notch powerhouses in the Infinitum Bodhimanda. The former third branch master, Lin Xiaoyun, was at that level.

"It’s exactly because they’re strong. If something happens, it won't help if you go in," Tianming remembered when they had just gone to find Gu Chunhan, the lecherous demonhog.

After Zi Zhen's cultivation had begun recovering, she’d become more beautiful and had attracted more trouble. If she didn't go, Tianming would actually find it easier to handle. Otherwise, with one more person, it wouldn't be easy to arrange her identity in front of Lord Guang Ling.

"Well, you must be careful...." Zi Zhen grit her teeth, only able to wait anxiously outside.

"Rest assured—even if it doesn't work, I'll let them take my place and find a chance to escape back to the astralscape. But in that case, we'll say goodbye forever." Tianming smiled.

"Yeah." Zi Zhen lowered her head, looking somewhat sad.

"I’m kidding, haha.... You can rest assured. Even if that's the case, I’ll come back one day, at least to fulfill my promise to you." He didn't say more, but the reason would be to cleanly solve her xeno fatigue.

"I'll wait for you then."

Zi Zhen raised her head, her eyes trembling as she looked at him.

"Let's go." Tianming smiled and waved at her, then glared at Gu Chunhan and Gu Xiayang. Not to mention Tianming, even the two of them were nervous when they came to the New Shrine. The cold and majestic atmosphere made them involuntarily shrink their necks and move forward like turtles.

Both of them had recovered their thousand-meter-tall bodies. Carrying Tianming into the hall of giants, their huge bodies cautiously moved, looking quite comical. After passing through many halls, they faintly heard people playing inside, with coquettish female voices. The New Shrine seemed to be in full swing.

"Coming to disturb him at this time will probably get us scolded, but there's no other way...." Tianming had no time! The good news was that when they arrived at Lord Guang Ling's mansion, they found it quite quiet. It should have been lively before and was now resting.

Standing at the door, Gu Chunhan cleared his throat, wiped the sweat from his palms, and in the most flattering tone, said, "Lord Guang Ling, your servant Gu Chunhan requests an audience."
