BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 268: Zhu Kun!

Chapter 268: Zhu Kun!

This mysterious creature, with its body gleaming in purplish-gold, was covered with icy scales, giving off a vigorous sensation akin to steel.

Gu He hovered in the void, his vision unable to encompass the entirety of the creature. One could only imagine the incredible size of this being, perhaps the combined volume of thousands of Blackscale Cold Flood Dragons would not compare to its enormity.

Even with all mental preparation, the sudden realization that such a colossal creature, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, was coiled in the darkness below still sent a shock through Gu He.

Suppressing the turmoil within, Gu He carefully observed the mysterious creature below.

At this moment, seemingly sensing Gu He's presence, the gigantic creature's body subtly trembled.

"Hiss!"

The next moment, a pair of gigantic eyes, long closed, suddenly opened in the dark void.

These eyes were a faint red, with overlapping pupils, and were hundreds of times larger than Gu He himself!

Upon opening, these eyes locked onto Gu He, and at the same time, an extreme terror of pressure enveloped him, rendering him unable to move.

Under that terrifying pressure, Gu He had no thoughts of resistance and stayed quietly in place.

"Intruder... Do you possess the ancient jade?"

Suddenly, a voice causing the space to shiver rang out.

Hearing this voice, Gu He glanced at the pair of huge eyes in the darkness, which were staring at him coldly and indifferently, with no fluctuation in their gaze.

"I don't have the ancient jade, but I brought you..."

"No ancient jade?"

Gu He hadn't finished speaking when he was abruptly interrupted by the creature.

A sense of disappointment and cold murderous intent emanated from those giant eyes.

"Not good!"

Sensing this mood, Gu He's face suddenly changed, and he quickly took out a drop of fresh red blood he had obtained from Zi Yan.

"If you don't have it, then stay here."

The indifferent voice sounded again, and then the entire space violently fluctuated, as a dazzling purple-gold seal fiercely blasted towards Gu He.

"Zhu Kun, don't you recognize your daughter's scent?"

Under the assault of the purple-gold seal, the space around Gu He was completely sealed, rendering him immobile. In this critical moment, Gu He almost exhausted all his strength to shout out these words.

The next moment, just as the purple-gold seal was about to obliterate Gu He, it suddenly shattered, and the drop of Zi Yan's blood that Gu He had taken out was somehow collected by the giant creature below.

"My child's scent!"

Just when Gu He breathed a sigh of relief, a voice filled with surprise entered his ears.

"Speak, how do you have my child's blood, and how do you know my name!"

However, an angry voice quickly followed.

"Zhu Kun, your daughter is now my disciple! As for how I know of your existence, I cannot tell you yet." Facing this terrifying roar that could tear through space, Gu He calmly spoke.

"My daughter is your disciple?"

Though filled with doubt at Gu He's words, Zhu Kun had no way to verify them at the moment.

"Do you know where my daughter is now?" Zhu Kun asked eagerly.

Gu He calmly replied, "Your daughter is in a very safe place."

When Zhu Kun became aware of Zi Yan's existence, Gu He knew that he had gained the upper hand.

"A very safe place, where is that?" Zhu Kun murmured softly, his voice still immense.

"There's no need for you to know that. It wouldn't be of any use to you anyway!" Gu He stated firmly.

"Do you think, with my daughter's essence blood, I wouldn't dare to touch you?" After asking twice without getting the desired result, Zhu Kun's tone began to darken.

"Would you dare to harm me? You can't even leave this Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling now!" Facing the threat, Gu He's gaze met the giant pupils without fear.

To think this person knows I can't leave the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling!

Hearing Gu He's words, Zhu Kun was greatly shaken.

...

"Who exactly are you? I have been here for countless years, and even those people from the past would find me somewhat unfamiliar, yet you called out my name without hesitation." After a moment of silence, Zhu Kun suppressed his anger and pondered.

"I am Gu He!" Gu He replied calmly.

...

Gu He?

Surname Gu?

Could it be someone from the Gu clan!

Hearing Gu He's name, Zhu Kun pondered for a moment, his giant eyes sweeping over Gu He again.

After a while, Zhu Kun's eyes showed suspicion, "Strange, you don't have the bloodline of a Dou Di; you're not from the Gu clan."

"Who told you I was from the Gu clan? Gu He is Gu He, a unique existence in this world." Hearing Zhu Kun's skeptical words, Gu He shrugged nonchalantly.

"How did you find this place?" Zhu Kun continued to inquire.

"Alright, Zhu Kun, I know you have many questions. But, as I said, there are some things I cannot tell you now. You just need to know that your daughter is now my disciple, and she's doing very well." Gu He explained patiently.

Hearing Gu He's words, Zhu Kun fell silent again.

After a long time, Zhu Kun seemed to come to a realization and spoke softly, "I suppose you came here for the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling. Unfortunately, without the ancient jade, no one can enter."

"While the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling does have some attraction for me, it's not the purpose of my visit!" Gu He stated plainly.

"If it's not the Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling, then what is it?" Zhu Kun asked curiously.

Hearing this, Gu He chuckled, "Heh, to be honest, I came here just to see the Tuo She Ancient Emperor's cave dwelling. However, after a little incident, I thought of visiting you to see if there was anything that could enhance Zi Yan's physical strength."

"Zi Yan?"

"Is that my child's name?"

At that moment, upon learning Zi Yan's name, Zhu Kun's majestic eyes almost instantly became softer.

"Correct!" Gu He nodded.

"The thing you mentioned that could enhance Zi Yan's physical strength, I can give it to you. But if one day I find out what you've said is false, even if you ascend to heaven or burrow into the earth, I will tear you to pieces."
