Light Fortress-Chapter 1452 - 194: Killing the Dog (2)

Once these trivial tasks are arranged.

It’s time to head to the Tanyao core district.

Hu Danian sent good news, the Transcendents from the Central Continent have already broken through the defensive boundaries of the Holy City in Sangzhou Cave, and armored units will follow closely to evacuate.

In the limited time available, evacuating as many residents from Sangzhou Cave as possible is very important.

Even if we completely disregard humanitarianism... every extraordinary life here holds immense value!

The law enforcers of the Dadu District are arranged by Chen Mei.

Once these trivial matters were dealt with, Gu Shen stepped onto the Iron Scale Flying Sword, soared into the air, and headed towards a damaged vessel not far outside the urban area. That was the "vehicle" that South Continent Holy City’s Archbishop Yuan Shuo City prided himself on.

This old Source Energy Boat had already been damaged in multiple places after the previous beast tide assault.

Although it can hover.

However, the Big Winged Sparrow swarm and similar flying-type extraordinary life forms can still pose a threat to it.

Yuan Shuo City underwent quite a fierce battle, at this moment, there were less than a hundred warriors left under his church.

Suffering a loss of 80%!

"Gu Shen..."

Yuan Shuo City saw the flying sword hang beside his Source Energy Boat, and his mood instantly tensed uncontrollably.

"Relax."

Gu Shen said calmly, "Didn’t notice such a big beast tide, the Holy City has not given any instructions? The Tidal authority is probably already invalid... So you don’t have to worry about things happening here being heard by Jiadi."

"Is that so..."

Yuan Shuo City relaxed a little, indeed, what he feared most was Gu Shen turning against him after the deed.

The battle was fought, and the people were exhausted.

At this moment, if Gu Shen exposes this news of him deceiving the church.

Ruining his reputation is a small thing, but the reckoning by the saints is a big deal! He cannot bear this consequence!

"I know what you are worried about."

Gu Shen spoke calmly, "You worry that the things you did before would be discovered by the saints..."

"As we agreed earlier, I help you settle the Great Hunt, you help me keep it secret."

Yuan Shuo City took a deep breath, nervously said, "With your status and position in the East Continent, you wouldn’t break your promise, right?"

"My status and position in the East Continent?" Gu Shen laughed, "Why don’t you tell me, what status and position do I have?"

"The heir of Divination Skill, the disciple of the Grand Judge, the representative of Huazhi, the chosen one of the Gu family..." Yuan Shuo City rattled off a list, and after seeing the smile in Gu Shen’s eyes, he realized something was wrong and asked confusedly, "Did I say something wrong?"

"You didn’t say anything wrong, these are all my identities. I just wanted to hear an outsider say it..."

Gu Shen paused and then mocked, "The real point is not status and position, but ’promise’. Sorry, Archbishop Yuan, did I ever make any promises to you?"

Yuan Shuo City’s eyes widened.

"..."

For a moment, he was at a loss for words!

Indeed, in the beginning of the conversation, Gu Shen never gave any promise, such as "you help me with these things, I will help keep your secret", after Gu Shen produced Yuan Shuo City’s evidence of betrayal against the Holy City on all fronts, their conversation no longer stood on equal ground.

To this day, it remains so.

"What do you mean?"

Yuan Shuo City became nervous.

"It’s nothing, just to remind you that the ’handle’ I hold is not a one-time use only."

Gu Shen said with a blank expression, "You have done those things to the Storm Church, and as long as history hasn’t changed... you will never escape these stains."

Yuan Shuo City’s expression was extremely gloomy, he no longer had the patience for twist-and-turns and gritted his teeth to transmit his voice, "Gu Shen... you want me to give you more."

"Mhm."

Gu Shen didn’t beat around the bush.

Since Yuan Shuo City stated it clearly, he also admitted frankly.

The four hundred people support team of the Storm Church, what does that count for? It’s not worth mentioning at all.

These stupid church members whose thinking has been rewritten by fanaticism... in Yuan Shuo City’s eyes, their lives are really even less than ants.

Yuan Shuo City won’t take their deaths seriously.

Gu Shen... naturally won’t either.

Archbishop Yuan took a deep breath, "What do you want?"

"You now have two choices."

Gu Shen looked at this man born in the East Continent, who ultimately betrayed the East Continent, despised and hated by countless people—a "lackey".

There was no disgust or disdain in his eyes.

"One, completely betray the Storm Church, tell me what Jiadi Saint uses the Tidal for, and all of the Holy City’s arrangements in Sangzhou Cave."

"Are you crazy?"

Yuan Shuo City was stunned.

Before Gu Shen could speak, he became furious, directly interrupting, "Do you think I can live after saying this?!"

"..." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Gu Shen remained silent.

The reason there wasn’t much disgust and hatred in his eyes when looking at Yuan Shuo City was because Yuan Shuo City didn’t deserve it.

The only thing left in his eyes when looking at Yuan Shuo City was indifference.

Just like looking at an object.

In the next moment, Gu Shen drew his sword. He stretched out his palm towards the medium-sized Source Energy Boat hovering in the air, countless Iron Scale Flying Swords swooshed out from his black robe sleeves, each one enveloped in a layer of solid ice under the Pure Land domain!

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, a huge hole exploded in the belly of the medium-sized Source Energy Boat.

This strike, Chu Ling provided an extremely professional weak point strike guide, and after seeing the image records sent by Mu Wanqiu, she dissected and researched this old-fashioned Source Energy Boat from twenty years ago, waiting for this very moment.
