Chapter 897

"Considering that you have not harmed the disciples of the Jiugong, Gu Mou can give you a chance."

Upon hearing this, the crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Many were even panting rapidly.

Clearly, the psychological pressure they had just been under was too great.

They had nearly forgotten to breathe.

Gu Hanyuan had chosen the timing perfectly.

Too early, and the pressure would not have been sufficient.

Too late, and there was no guarantee someone wouldn't act out of desperation.

With the chance to survive now before them, the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands

hurriedly said respectfully:

"Please, Young Master Gu, give us your instructions."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

He said indifferently:

"You are to infiltrate the Xixia Imperial City now; there will be tasks for you to carry out later. For those who survive, Gu Mou will let bygones be bygones."

With the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands no longer available as reinforcements,

Fang Yeyu and his group would inevitably choose to mobilize their army.

And the task for the people of the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands would be to hold off the Xixia army.

It could be said to be a situation with a nine-in-ten chance of death.

The crowd also knew that going to the Xixia Imperial City, where winds and clouds were gathering, would certainly bring no good.

They could also hear the danger in Gu Hanyuan's words.

But they had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond:

"Thank you, Young Master Gu, for your mercy."

Gu Hanyuan nodded and said:

"Go. Do not let yourselves be discovered; Gu Mou believes you can do it."

Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat holes.

If these people were good at nothing else, they excelled at this.

Infiltrating the Xixia Imperial City would be no problem for them.

The crowd responded respectfully.

Each Island Master and Cave Master led their followers away.

After the thousands had left,

Soul-Severing Cliff suddenly became empty.

Gu Hanyuan's attitude toward the women of the Jiugong was gentle.

He smiled and said:

"Take me up to the Jiugong."
