The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 925 - 433: Suit-Wearing Thugs

New Chitose Airport, the train roared through the station, filled with an endless stream of tourists.

Gu Jianlin entered the station with a suitcase, appearing just like an ordinary tourist visiting Hokkaido for the snow season. He wore a deep gray overcoat paired with a black sweater, blue slim-fit pants with straight lines, and pure black leather boots.

He lowered his head to look at his diary, which listed the first name.

Jiang Yanxu.

This was Jiang Chunyang’s first son, a seasoned elder Ascender of the battlefield, also at the Eighth Rank, a powerful possessor of the You Ying Law. The collaboration with Buzhou Mountain was led by him, and he knew many secrets, having gathered most of the Jiang Family remnants to hide in Ying Province after escaping from the Ancient God Realm.

At the same time, this man was also Jiang Chuge’s father.

Being able to survive the upheaval caused by the Red King, he indeed possessed some skills.

Even if the Red King couldn’t deal with these people for a while, he urgently needed to recover his strength.

Yet Gu Jianlin knew this person would appear here.

He certainly would.

Because he had the help of the Shadow.

Looking around the station, there were passengers who had just landed, most of them ordinary people, but some Ascenders were mixed in. No matter how well they concealed themselves, they could not escape his Life Perception. Only one person was an exception, leisurely ordering a hot latte at the café in the rest area.

For Gu Jianlin, few people in this world could make him feel so inscrutable.

Especially now that he had reached the Fifth Rank and could anytime prepare for the Sixth Rank ascent.

At that time, he would be unchallenged below the Holy Land Level.

He could even attempt to challenge the Holy Land.

But facing this man, he still felt like standing before the oppressive deep sea.

Harboring an unfathomable fear.

"You’re here?"

As he dragged his suitcase over, he heard the man’s gentle voice.

Gu Jianlin mumbled a response: "Senior Brother."

Jing Ci gave him a deep look and nodded slightly: "Not bad, your spirituality is brimming, you’ve reached the pinnacle of the Fifth Rank. The two Supreme Laws coexist in you without conflict; I don’t know if you can master Heavenly Personification now, but wielding Primordial Return at the Fifth Rank, you are the first. Little wonder, you can handle Heaven’s Punishment."

He laughed softly: "Now, the Order World thinks you are an Ancient God Clan hiding among the Human World. Some people dread you to the point of sleepless nights for months."

Gu Jianlin shook his head; perhaps others might feel proud of such illustrious achievements.

But he would not.

Because if he hasn’t achieved the result he wants, it’s still a failure.

Failing to change that outcome is also failing.

Watching the so-called big figures plan everything while being unable to prevent it, it’s still failing.

Ever since coming from the Ancient God Realm, everyone he met wouldn’t mention the departure of that senior, trying to comfort him in various ways, telling him he had done well.

But he didn’t need it.

He wasn’t someone who would look for excuses to placate himself.

"Senior Brother doesn’t think I’m of the Ancient God Clan?"

He suddenly asked.

Jing Ci glanced at him and shook his head, saying: "Why should I? I even once liked a member of the Ancient God Clan."

For some reason, Gu Jianlin always felt there was a hint of playfulness and teasing in his gaze.

And a sense of implication.

This look reminded him of someone.

A woman he didn’t want to recall.

So much so that even the absurdity of Senior Brother liking a member of the Ancient God Clan didn’t surprise him.

"Of course, for a life like hers, she can no longer be considered a genuine Ancient God Clan member, but a new life fused with part human genes. For such a being, sometimes she doesn’t even know who she is or what she wants, much like a child."

Jing Ci explained earnestly: "The Primordial came from the Bai Ze Clan, also the product of a not fully mature Transplantation plan, with the ceremony destroyed by the Ancient God Clan and members of the Jiang Family at Buzhou Mountain long ago, falling into eternal sleep. I occasionally go to Lishan to see her... well, do you think this sounds a bit forbidden?"

Gu Jianlin shook his head: "No, I know someone quite similar, but she’s not a child."

To this day, he hadn’t truly understood that woman.

Nor could he tell if she was a god or a human.

How much was true, how much false.

Jing Ci nodded in satisfaction: "Do you like her?"

Gu Jianlin frowned: "No."

Jing Ci raised an eyebrow, surprised: "Oh? I thought you aimed at the Jiang Family for revenge for that person you know. After all, my aim is also to settle old scores with the Jiang Family."

Gu Jianlin replied expressionlessly: "You’re overthinking it. I came to settle accounts with Jiang Yanxu first because he took one of our important companions. I’m merely helping Grandmaster do what she can’t do anymore. It has nothing to do with that woman. I won’t treat those ridiculous lies as the truth either." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He paused: "Moreover, we’re enemies. Now and in the future."

Jing Ci could roughly guess what had happened between them and said lightly: "What a pity."

At the entrance, two men in black stood, raising their hands to block their way.
