Chapter 1507: Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, you are wrong; I am reluctant to part with Yun'er
This was the first time Gu Hanyuan had personally experienced the feeling of being locked onto by the "Heaven-Extinguishing and Earth-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three."
The space around him was frozen, and the faintly radiating sword Qi pricked his skin with pain.
What Wu Xingyun used was not the "Sentient Heaven and Earth Sword Twenty-Three" she had comprehended, but the lethal "Heaven-Extinguishing and Earth-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three."
A faint smile still hung on the corner of Gu Hanyuan's mouth.
"Yun'er, do you want to kill me?"
His words were extremely calm, as casual as asking, "Have you eaten?"
The pupils on Wu Xingyun's mask suddenly vibrated and struggled.
A moment later, they became calm and waveless.
She said indifferently and ruthlessly:
"Heaven's will is such."
Gu Hanyuan's voice was mocking and playful.
"Heaven's will? It's just a loser who enters the field personally when they can't afford to lose."
Upon hearing this, those indifferent and ruthless pupils fluctuated, harboring anger as she said:
"Those who insult Heaven shall die!"
With that, the golden light of the small golden figure in her eyes became even brighter.
The image, which had been somewhat blurry, gradually became clear.
However, the appearance of the small golden figure was completely different from Wu Xingyun's.
The only commonality was that they were equally stunning, beautiful as a celestial being.
Although the woman could not be seen clearly amidst the blinding golden light.
She was the third person Gu Hanyuan had seen who could be rated as 100 for beauty.
She was a beauty on the same level as Huang Rong and Wu Xingyun.
It was just that compared to the alluring or gentle Huang Rong, or the clear or proud Wu Xingyun, the woman's indifferent, cold, and majestic temperament inevitably detracted somewhat from her beauty.
However, this posture was precisely what could most incite a man's desire for conquest.
A flash of heat inevitably crossed Gu Hanyuan's eyes.
The woman in the form of a small golden figure frowned slightly.
She said faintly:
"Mortal, your gaze is still as disgusting as ever."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered, and a playful smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
He said meaningfully:
"Still? When in the Qianqing Palace, the one who reacted with resistance was indeed you, right? How did it feel? Was the taste to your liking?"
The woman's majestic and solemn expression finally broke.
She scolded shamefully and angrily:
"Shameless mortal drowning in desire!"
She suddenly froze, and asked with a slightly ugly expression:
"Mortal, did you know it was me at the time?"
At that time, Wu Xingyun's reaction was completely different from usual.
During the morning wake-up service, she was still greedily taking.
But when she served Gu Hanyuan again at the Qianqing Palace, she was obviously resistant and unfamiliar.
As for the end, when Gu Hanyuan wanted to take advantage of the situation, she had dodged away.
That was why Wu Xingyun was so confused afterward.
That was the reaction of someone missing a segment of memory.
Gu Hanyuan said mockingly:
"Don't keep calling me mortal; I have a name. And you haven't told Gu Mou your name yet; isn't that too rude?"
The woman said contemptuously:
"This seat knows you are called Gu Hanyuan, but you are just another heaven-defying challenger. An intruder outside the chessboard of all living beings. As for this seat's title, you, who are still wandering in the lower realm, are not qualified to know."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan frowned.
The woman had revealed quite a bit of information.
Heaven-defying challenger, chessboard of all living beings, lower realm—all were worth deep thought.
It seemed he had seen the tip of the iceberg of this world's secrets.
However, this was not the time to overthink it.
Gu Hanyuan said playfully:
"You are the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, right?"
Upon hearing this, the woman was greatly shocked.
"How do you know!"
Although Gu Hanyuan was only guessing, her reaction at this moment was equivalent to admitting she was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.
"Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, acting under Heaven's mandate. Simply put, you love to meddle in other people's business. Am I right?"
Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was a goddess in ancient mythology.
Abbreviated as Mysterious Maiden, commonly known as the Nine Heavens Lady, Xuan Pin Shi, Lady Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, Nine Heavens Mysterious Mother Heavenly Venerable, Nine Heavens Mysterious Yang Original Maiden Holy Mother Great Emperor Xuan Pin Shi.
A goddess in ancient Chinese mythology who taught military strategy, later revered by Daoism as a high-ranking female immortal and deity of divination.
Her status in folk belief was lofty and prominent; she was a righteous deity well-versed in military strategy and magical arts, becoming a female immortal who assisted heroes in eradicating evil and punishing the wicked.
Therefore, her status in Daoist immortal belief was important, and the origin of her belief could be traced back to before the pre-Qin period.
The *Yunji Qiqian* says: The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden is a disciple of the Yellow Emperor's teacher, the Holy Mother Yuan Jun. The Nine Heavens is the image of Qian Metal, its nature is just and active. The direction of the Nine Heavens can be used to deploy troops and set up formations. There are scriptures such as the *Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden's True Scripture for Governing the Heart and Eliminating Sin* passed down to educate the world.
A goddess like the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, like Nüwa, had left images in many worlds.
And the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden before him, who could use the "Heaven-Extinguishing and Earth-Destroying Sword Twenty-Three," had extremely high attainments in sword arts.
The most likely one was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden from *Chinese Paladin*, who had once guided the ancestors of the Qionghua Sect in a dream on the "Unity of Man and Sword" sword art...
It also fit her nature of meddling in other people's business, and even descending to the lower realm personally.
"Mortal, you dare to insult me!"
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden broke her defense again, her apricot eyes glaring at Gu Hanyuan, this mortal who lacked a sense of awe.
She always felt it was difficult to maintain an indifferent state of mind in front of him, and she didn't know if it was caused by the lingering touch and taste in her mouth when her primordial spirit possessed the body.
Gu Hanyuan said mockingly and indifferently:
"Gu Mou has even insulted Heaven; why wouldn't I insult you?"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden froze, and said self-mockingly:
"That is true. Heaven-defying challengers are mostly like this, disrespectful to Heaven."
After the self-mockery, she seemed to have recovered her calm.
She decided to ask the doubts in her heart before they fought.
"Gu Hanyuan, when exactly did you see through me?" ===== CHAPTER 1509 =====
