Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!-Chapter 1038 - 308: Goodness Gracious!
"What do you mean?" Chen Yan felt something bad brewing in his heart.
Gu Tongbing maintained a casual demeanor, "I’ve memorized the names of all the sworn brothers in my big brother’s Brotherhood. I know everyone’s appearance, cultivation and Taoism practice, their spells and divine techniques they’re proficient in, and their personalities inside out!
I recall two months ago, I got the latest roster from the Brotherhood, which listed a total of 135 people!
I just thought about it; considering your cultivation, character traits, your proficient spells, and your appearance... I roughly went through the 135 names.
For those with similar traits, I could only narrow it down to seven or eight people at most.
However, from there, I found some differences.
Some are the same age, but their cultivation doesn’t match.
Others could have the right cultivation, but their appearance isn’t right.
Some have similar age and appearance, but the spells they’re proficient in are vastly different from yours.
After going through several times, the one with the highest similarity is only one person."
Chen Yan frowned and looked coldly at Gu Tongbing.
Gu Tongbing, however, smiled and looked at Chen Yan, "So... you are the 135th brother in the Brotherhood, the old demon who joined the latest.
Your name is...
Wang Chuyi!"
What the hell!
Chen Yan couldn’t help but be a bit surprised.
This Gu Tongbing is pretty scary!
Moreover, Chen Yan felt that Gu Tongbing’s mind was incredibly firm, as he’s guessed and concluded, at this point, it’s mostly pointless to deny or try to disrupt his perception with words.
If that’s the case...
"Alright." Chen Yan deliberately sighed, looking helpless, "You guessed right, Third Young Master Gu.
I am the 135th Wang Chuyi in the Brotherhood."
Admitting is admitting, Chen Yan thought to himself. There’s no point not admitting it with Wang Chuyi’s analysis skills being so unprecedented.
Besides... he just lost one layer of disguise; there’s still one more on him.
Wang Chuyi is not his true identity, anyway.
Gu Tongbing nodded, appearing not surprised at all; evidently, he had long been confident in his guess.
However, the gaze he directed at Chen Yan now carried an extra three points of admiration.
After staring for quite a while, he nodded slowly, "You’re, quite something!"
While speaking, he suddenly struggled to sit upright, even though his body was weak at that moment, he forced his spine straight, speaking seriously, "Wang Chuyi, do you know why I’m so familiar with your Brotherhood’s situation? Even certain enough to know your roster?"
Chen Yan shook his head, nonchalant, "You are Gu Jinjia’s third brother, close in relations with him, it’s not surprising he would tell you about the Brotherhood’s matters."
"That’s not the case. Instead... I was the one who suggested it to my big brother to establish the Brotherhood initially." Gu Tongbing shook his head.
"Hmm?"
"My big brother seems gentle on the surface; as the eldest at home, he also shows a magnanimous side.
But I know he’s indeed ambitious. As the legitimate elder son of the Gu Family, he has been groomed as the family’s future Patriarch successor from a young age.
So, he’s always wanted to achieve great things that match his status as the legitimate elder son of Gu Family.
Especially after my fourth sister emerged with her outstanding talent, forcefully overturned the family’s inheritance rights. My big brother accepted the situation outwardly and exhibited elder brotherly protection and concession towards siblings.
But... he was exceedingly proud within, still holding his breath.
Even if it wasn’t for reclaiming the future Patriarch successor’s role, he still wanted to accomplish something, proving his own abilities.
Back then, he volunteered to go to the borderlands, where I gave him advice.
The borderlands are rugged, but extreme conditions produce resilient grasses, true heroic spirits shine amid slaughter! The borderlands, instead, might conceal hidden talents.
With constant warfare, there’s an increased possibility for establishing achievements.
I proposed to Gu Jinjia, at the Snow Cliff Pass, to establish an organization independent of family influence, entirely under his control, so that future accomplishments would highlight Gu Jinjia’s skills—not relying on family power, yet able to achieve success.
Unfortunately, he... wasted my strategy.
Snow Cliff Pass is war-torn, essentially a treasure land; however, the Brotherhood he established initially showed potential. Back then, I frequently advised him on strategies. It could be said, during your Brotherhood’s establishment, many affairs were designed by me on behalf of my big brother.
But later, he used his crude methods to develop the organization, gradually turning a good potential organization into an awkward one.
The later Brotherhood became a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, seemingly lively, yet lacking unity. Major affairs couldn’t be done well, minor ones too!
I gradually became disappointed in him and ceased handling Brotherhood’s matters patiently.
Still, my big brother appreciated my initial strategic advice for establishing the Brotherhood, and later, regularly shared the Brotherhood’s roster, resource usage, and depletion logs, sending them to me for inspection."
Goodness...
Gu Tongbing is an invisible founder of the Brotherhood, like Liangshan... ah, cough cough cough!
Chen Yan secretly sighed with emotion.
Yet, he didn’t prevent Gu Tongbing’s increasingly peculiar and fervent gaze towards him.
Suddenly, Gu Tongbing spoke, his face serious yet sincere, voice deep and true, "Wang Chuyi... following my big brother in his Brotherhood is fruitless. That Brotherhood is nothing but a scattered gang, utterly clueless about future endeavors, or what the so-called Brotherhood aims to accomplish, its objectives, or business!
Gathering a group of loose cultivators simply under the guise of brotherly loyalty, loafing around, waiting to die.
With your great talent, it’s better... to join me in business in the future, how about it?"
Hmm????
Chen Yan was stunned.
Brother, technically speaking, you are my captive now!
This isn’t even forced persuasion.
This damn is forced recruitment!
Chen Yan’s mind stirred, deliberately asking, "Gu Tongbing, what sort of business are you involved in? Assassinating noble sect families, framing the Demon Race? An assassin guild or killer organization?"
Gu Tongbing laughed heartily, yet for unknown reasons, Chen Yan could sense some heroic spirit from his laughter at this moment.
"Wang Chuyi! What do you think the current Domain Realm is like today?"
"Hmm?" Chen Yan puzzled.
But Gu Tongbing’s face suddenly darkened, shouting sharply, "Decay! Suffocation! Oppression! Exploitation!!
Saint Venerables stand aloof, disregarding all mortals, solely worshiping a Heavenly Dao indifferent to the fate of all mortals!!
Noble sects and families, like leeches, cling to the living world, monopolizing all cultivation resources in the Domain Realm!!
Year after year, generation after generation, enslaving all beings in the Domain Realm!
The myriad beings, only fit as bottom-level swine and dogs!
Why are they born to be above others? Why should the myriad beings, even those with strong talent, scramble for leftovers under noble sects’ feet?
Is everything in the Domain Realm inherently belonging to noble sects?
Why can Saint Venerables stand on high, overlooking all beings?
The Immortal Platform can’t centralize power internally, nor show strength externally! Occupying high positions, yet muddling governance!
Why can noble sects parasitically thrive above all mortals?
This is oppression!! This is exploitation! This is... shackles!!
My business is to awaken all beings in the Domain Realm!
I want, with my fellow comrades, to shatter all of this!!
The oppressed billions of beings in the Domain Realm should rise and resist together!
Resist! Only resistance!
The resistance to breaking shackles!!"
Chen Yan: "................"
Break shackles?
Break exploitation?! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
What the heck! These words, I’m familiar with them!!!
Holy crap!
Holy crap!!
A series of "holy crap" echoed in Chen Yan’s mind!
His face becoming exceedingly peculiar...
Gu Tongbing! You are indeed far superior to your big brother Gu Jinjia!
Gu Jinjia at most establishes a Liangshan of the Domain Realm.
You, Gu Tongbing... you’re planning a red revolution in the Domain Realm!
Brother, did you forget you’re a top-tier rich second generation of the Domain Realm!!
Talking about the exploiter class, you’re one among them, aren’t you!!
