Chapter 2052: Indeed, it was Old Master who took the Primordial Supreme Dao Bell

The capital of the Seven Constellations Divine Kingdom is called 【Heavenly Capital】.

Heavenly Capital is the dojo of the Seven Constellations God Emperor.

It is also the ancestral seat of the Night Dao.

The entire city is shrouded in darkness.

This is Eternal Night!

There is light, but that too is the light of night.

Only after traveling thirteen myriad myriad li eastward from the Heavenly Capital of the Seven Constellations Divine Kingdom can one see brightness.

The eastern horizon is a continuous, undulating mountain range.

Beneath the mountains lies a vast lake spanning over a thousand li in width.

The water is as smooth as a mirror!

A small boat drifts upon the lake, swaying endlessly in the boundless sunlight, as if drifting into a golden world.

From afar the boat appears tiny, but up close one discovers it is actually a hundred zhang long.

On the deck at the bow of the small boat sits a tea brazier.

The fire in the brazier burns brightly, and the water in the teapot atop it bubbles with a gurgling sound.

Six people gather around.

Two men, four women.

Leading them is a woman dressed in black, her skin fair and features beautiful, her crimson lips slightly parted: "Well… everyone, please have a cup of tea!"

A man steps forward and pours the tea.

One cup each.

Everyone raises their cup and takes a sip.

A woman in red asks: "Fellow Daoist Gu, how is Wang Dun?"

The black-clad woman is named Gu Jinghong, sister of Gu Baiying.

Both belong to the Gu family disciples.

In this world, even though the Gu Emperor believes Gu Baiying took the Primordial Supreme Dao Bell and departed, Gu Jinghong does not believe it.

Because few know that Gu Baiying is someone's slave-maid.

But Gu Jinghong knows.

If Gu Baiying had taken something, she should have immediately delivered it to her master.

Yet now, she has not.

Not only did she not deliver it to her master, she even vanished outright.

This is highly unreasonable.

Coincidentally, Gu Jinghong is also that person's slave.

The sister duo share one master.

That master currently has affairs preventing departure, so he sent Gu Jinghong to search for Gu Baiying's whereabouts.

After a hundred years of investigation, Gu Jinghong found the most suspicious person to be one of the four who entered the Primordial Void with Gu Baiying—Wang Dun.

The incident occurred a hundred years ago; Gu Jinghong is certain she cannot now trace Wang Dun's whereabouts.

But she once heard her sister mention that she had seen a peerless genius named 【Wang Dun】 in the Heavenly Capital of the Seven Constellations Divine Kingdom.

Good!

If so, then eight out of ten it must be you.

Thus, Gu Jinghong came to the Heavenly Capital of the Seven Constellations Divine Kingdom to inquire; upon arrival, a brief inquiry revealed that this Wang Dun is actually a figure renowned throughout the world.

Though his cultivation is merely the first layer of the God Lord Realm, his reputation as a genius is no empty fame.

"I don't know if it's the same person!" Gu Jinghong furrowed her brows and said: "According to everyone's earlier descriptions, this Wang Dun, during the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow, should have been at the Spirit Divine Realm!"

"But this person's cultivation is only the first layer of the God Lord Realm!"

"There's a difference—perhaps they are not the same person!"

"No…" a man in a cyan Daoist robe waved his hand and said: "Gu Junior Sister, you are mistaken……"

"Back then, everyone was at the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow, and his displayed cultivation was precisely the first layer of the God Lord Realm!"

"Whether it was actually the Spirit Divine Realm, everyone was merely guessing!"

"Perhaps it was, or perhaps he was fundamentally only at the first layer of the God Lord Realm!"

"Furthermore… even if he were at the Spirit Divine Realm cultivation, it does not rule out the possibility that, using this hundred years of time, he advanced to the first layer of the God Lord Realm!"

Gu Jinghong nodded: "Indeed, this is possible…… but I also secretly took a look!"

"This person's appearance is also not quite the same!"

"Hehehe……" the cyan-robed man chuckled and said: "What can appearance prove?"

"Wang Dun, such a genius, naturally fears being discovered!"

"He might have disguised himself during the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow!"

"No rush; wait until he arrives, then we shall speak—if he comes, we will surely make him reveal the truth!"

"At worst, we shall search his soul!"

Everyone echoed in turn: "Indeed……"

"There will always be a way!"

"Wait until he comes, then we shall speak!"

"Senior Brother Lu Chi's words make sense!"

"Wait until he comes, and there will naturally be a way to discern!"

Everyone then drank tea.

After about half an incense stick's time, a purple stream of light finally flew in from the western horizon.

"It's him..." Gu Jinghong took a deep breath: "Everyone, restrain your auras and listen to my command!"

Everyone restrained their auras one by one, not revealing their cultivation.

The purple stream of light landed on the small boat in an instant.

With a light touch, the small boat swayed a few times in the water.

This was a tall man, with a gentle smile on his face, appearing carefree and unrestrained.

It was none other than Wang Dun.

"Which one is Gu Xianzi?" Wang Dun looked at everyone.

Gu Jinghong nodded: "This palace's Gu Jinghong, Wang Daoist, right... Please have a seat!"

Wang Dun waved his hand: "Forget sitting, Gu Xianzi invited me here, saying there's a major matter to discuss!"

"Go ahead and speak!"

Wang Dun clasped his hands and stood opposite the six people.

Gu Jinghong frowned slightly, paused for two breaths, then said: "Wang Daoist, I indeed have some questions for you. My younger sister has gone missing, and all clues point to you!"

"Holy shit..." Wang Dun was startled, his eyebrows jumping: "What's her name?"

He really did feel a bit guilty.

"Gu Baipin..." Gu Jinghong said: "You should have been to the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow Forbidden Land, right?"

"No way!" Wang Dun directly spread his hands: "What Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow Forbidden Land? I definitely haven't been there, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hey..." The guy named Lu Chi instantly stood up: "Refusing so bluntly, you must be guilty!"

"You're lying!"

Wang Dun was speechless: Me refusing so bluntly means I'm lying?

This...

This brain of yours must have been kicked by a donkey.

He took a deep breath, wanting to explain, but suddenly realized he didn't know how to explain.

"You have nothing to say now?" Lu Chi said: "Did you obtain the Hongmeng Supreme Path Bell in the Collapsed Dao Fallen Yellow Forbidden Land, then frame Gu Baipin for it?"

"What nonsense?" Wang Dun opened his mouth wide: "Hongmeng Supreme Path Bell, it's appeared?"

He froze for a breath, then his eyes suddenly twitched: "You guys wait... I've come back to life... wait for me a moment..."

His gaze looked forty-five degrees toward the void, his finger pointing in that invisible void, tapping a few times, and his facial expression slowly changed.

From confusion to shock, then to speechlessness, finally a smile appeared on his face.

After about four or five breaths, this guy looked at everyone with a silly smile and said: "What you said is correct..."

"It's indeed me who took the Hongmeng Supreme Path Bell!"

"What's wrong?"

"You guys not convinced?"

"Good!" Lu Chi jumped again, saying: "So it really was you who took the Hongmeng Supreme Path Bell!"

"Damn thing, you actually dared to put the shit pot on someone else's head!"

"Quickly hand over the Supreme Path Bell, or else today next year will be your memorial day!"

"Hey..." Two beams of excited light instantly shot from Wang Dun's eyes: "Are you sure?"
