Chapter 1378

The commotion caused by Wu Xingyun breaking through to the Earth Immortal Realm startled many old monsters.

The breakthrough of the Dragon and Wood Island Masters of the former Xia Ke Island had also once attracted attention.

But those old monsters were all aware of the situation regarding the two of them.

As long as one breaks through their inner demons, the breakthrough is a matter of course.

Therefore, they did not pay much mind to it.

However, Wu Xingyun's breakthrough was unexpected.

Moreover, the commotion she caused was much greater.

Especially that crack in the sky that flashed and vanished; it was even more uniquely strange.

So much so that it piqued the interest of quite a few people.

Gu Hanyuan also sensed the fluctuation of spiritual energy between heaven and earth at that instant.

Combined with the faint response coming from the depths of his heart.

He immediately realized that Wu Xingyun had broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

And was currently using "Sword-Flying" to rush toward Yanjing City.

However, Wu Xingyun's "Sword-Flying" was not yet practiced, so it should take quite some time before she arrives.

While Gu Hanyuan felt somewhat amused in his heart, a gentle warmth also welled up.

Although he was temporarily unclear about this situation that was akin to telepathy.

The icy chill in the depths of his heart had already been completely dispelled.

He looked at the terrified Kangxi before him, feeling a sudden sense of listlessness.

He said indifferently:

"It is not that I cannot accept Your Majesty's request."

Kangxi said with great joy:

"Is what you say true, Excellency? As long as it is not the Empress, other concubines are not a problem."

It was still the "door-in-the-face" effect.

If Gu Hanyuan had demanded Kangxi's concubines from the very beginning.

Even if he eventually agreed, he would not have been as straightforward as he was now.

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Of course, the harvest is equal to the price paid. Since Your Majesty is unwilling to give up the Empress, then I will not deal with Gu Hanyuan for Your Majesty. However, for Oboi and the Honghua Society, other concubines will suffice."

Kangxi's expression turned ugly for a moment upon hearing this.

Although Oboi and the Honghua Society were also very troublesome, how could they compare to Gu Hanyuan?

He pondered for a moment.

He said gloomily:

"Can Excellency Wutian capture Gu Hanyuan?"

His thinking was quite realistic.

If he could truly capture and kill the rising star Gu Hanyuan, it would be a huge boost to his prestige.

At that time, dealing with Prince Bao and Wu Sangui would be much easier.

Even if that required sacrificing his own Empress.

A cold light flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

Having had the previous experience, he felt extremely repulsed by the fact that he might become someone like Kangxi in the future.

Even though all of this was guided by himself.

In order to suppress the strangeness in his heart.

Gu Hanyuan decided to trick Kangxi even more severely.

He said coldly:

"Unless Your Majesty no longer wants Yanjing City."

Kangxi was startled upon hearing this and asked with confusion:

"What does Excellency mean?"

Gu Hanyuan said coldly:

"If I were to fight Gu Hanyuan with all my strength, Yanjing City would inevitably be reduced to ruins."

Kangxi said in astonishment:

"Is that Gu Hanyuan truly that formidable? As far as I know, can he not only severely injure Earth Immortals?"

Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:

"Does Your Majesty think that a heaven-gifted talent like Gu Hanyuan would always be standing still? At most, I can help Your Majesty repel him."

Kangxi was greatly dissatisfied upon hearing this.

If he could only repel Gu Hanyuan.

Sacrificing the Empress seemed somewhat unworthy.

However, he would not say such things to his face.

Kangxi said in a deep voice:

"I understand. Please allow me to consider it for a few days."

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Very well. If Your Majesty wishes to find me, you may send a message to Princess Jianning. I will leave contact information with her."

Kangxi's eyes flashed upon hearing this.

He thought gloomily in his heart:

"Although Princess Jianning is only Wutian's plaything, she still has some status. I must resolve the matter with Yuan Chengzhi as soon as possible."

This was precisely the impression Gu Hanyuan had deliberately painted.

Otherwise, Princess Jianning would either be discarded.

Or Kangxi would already be considering how to utilize Princess Jianning.

Gu Hanyuan said playfully:

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty is truly blessed. There is already a Noble Imperial Consort Tonggiashi in the harem, and it seems Your Majesty also intends to take her younger sister as a concubine. Sisters both taken; Your Majesty has quite the refined taste."

The two Tonggiashi he spoke of were precisely the Empress Xiaoyiren and the Noble Imperial Consort Quehui, the third Empress of Kangxi in history.

Later, they were known as the Great and Small Tong Empresses.

But for now, they could only be considered the Great and Small Tong Consorts.

Kangxi's face turned dark.

How could he not understand the other party's meaning?

It was clearly that he had set his sights on his Noble Imperial Consort and her sister who had not yet entered the palace.
