Crossing: Leading everyone to survive

Chapter 159 Gu Chengming's Decadence

"Chen Nanyue... Haoyue!"

Gu Chengming's heart was pounding. Wasn't Chen Nanyue the Chosen One whom they killed the first time? He was also the shadow soldier he summoned for the first time using a human corpse?

Thinking of this, Gu Chengming's eyes, as deep as a cold pond, gradually became covered with coldness, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more severe.

Suddenly, his body shook violently, and a powerful and turbulent force gushed out of him. This force was like a roaring wave, carrying endless pressure and fierce momentum.

It spread rapidly, enveloping the entire space and forming a suffocating dark area.

In this dark area, dark forces surged like a tide, and every bit of power contained a terrifying aura of destruction. They intertwined and entangled in the air, forming a huge energy vortex.

"Wait..." Upon seeing this, Shen Qingli released her source energy and wanted to step forward to stop it, but when the source energy was in circulation for a moment, the surrounding dark force seemed to consciously absorb all her source energy.

Shen Qingli felt her body stiffen and looked at Gu Chengming in front of her with some shock. She thought she had become strong enough, but when facing him, she still felt the same powerlessness as before.

Chen Chu felt the pressure from all around him, but he didn't put up any resistance and just stood there straight with a calm expression on his face. But if you looked closely, you could still see his body trembling constantly.

This was not because he was afraid, but an involuntary stress response of the body.

"State your purpose."

Gu Chengming's ink-black eyes stared at Shen Qingli, but the oppressive feeling he exuded did not diminish at all.

"Let me tell the story."

Chen Chu reluctantly took a step forward under the pressure.

"I came here this time hoping to cooperate with you."

"cooperate"?

Chen Chu paused, organized his words, and spoke slowly.

"You killed the only bloodline of the head of the Chen family. Therefore, your portraits have appeared on the Blood Slaughter List. It's okay for you to be in the military camp now, but once you leave here, you will be hunted down endlessly."

"A big family cannot be without an heir. I was pushed to this position by other side branches, but the direct descendants headed by the patriarch do not recognize my identity. So, I hope we can work together to deal with the direct descendants of the Chen family. When I take office, the first thing I will do is to remove your portraits on the Blood Slaughter List. How about it?"

"No big deal," Gu Chengming refused without hesitation. This was just a verbal promise, and anyone who believed it would be a fool.

Chen Chu was not surprised when he heard this and handed over a parchment from his arms.

"What is this?" Gu Chengming took it, and the content was the promise that Chen Chu had just made.

Chen Chu didn't say anything, but took out a knife and cut it across his hand. A large amount of blood flowed from his palm, gradually staining the parchment red.

The next second, the parchment turned into two streams of light and entered the foreheads of Gu Chengming and Chen Chu respectively.

"The contract is done!"

A solemn voice sounded, and Gu Chengming turned to look at Chen Chu. He had just learned the effect of the contract. Anyone who violated the contract would be destroyed both physically and spiritually.

"That's my promise."

Gu Chengming paused, but finally smiled.

"make a deal"!

After saying this, Gu Chengming turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment".

But Shen Qingli suddenly reached out and grabbed him, then glanced at Chen Chu who was standing beside her.

"I understand," Chen Chu walked out of the barrier with great tact.

After seeing the person leave, Shen Qingli said in a slightly hurried tone.

"Chengming, you must protect the fox man named Huyun."

"According to my investigation, the reason why the Ministry of Government wants to massacre the fox people is because the fox royal family has the ability to identify outsiders. They deprived them of this ability and used it to study a device called Breaking Evil. Now this device has reached a critical period, and Hu Yun is the only one left in the fox royal family. So, the Ministry of Government will definitely hunt down Hu Yun at all costs. If they succeed, our situation will be in danger."

Gu Chengming frowned repeatedly after hearing this.

"By the way, tell the others that I'm sorry that I can't recognize them now. In my current identity, I'm very close to Lin Yuxuan. He is the direct descendant of Mr. Lin, one of the highest leaders of the Ministry of Government. If I continue to stay by his side, I will be able to find out more information."

"Okay, see you next time," Shen Qingli said, put on the veil on her face again, and turned to leave.

After Shen Qingli left, Gu Chengming still stood there and did not leave for a long time.

The Chen family of Yaoguang City is second only to the emperor in power. One of the seven elders, Lin Lao, has enemies who are old monsters who have lived for who knows how many years. Moreover, their true faces have been exposed at this moment. Now they can only stay in the military. Ironically, the military has always treated them as tools.

They are alone and have no one to rely on. The friends they have now may turn against them the moment their identities are exposed.

Gu Chengming leaned against the wall like a deflated ball. His once upright body now looked extremely tired, as if he had lost all his strength. He slowly slid down and finally squatted on the ground, his eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

He began to doubt his previous decision and persistence, and kept asking himself: "Can we really return to the original world successfully?" This question was like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart, making him feel extremely painful and tormented.

At this moment, a pair of white and slender hands reached out and gently hugged him.

"It's okay, it's okay, we are always here." Jiang Yingxue's voice was very gentle, but the look she gave him was full of heartache.

She hugged Gu Chengming tightly, letting him feel her presence and support.

Not far away, Hongyu and Jiang Zhilin leaned quietly against the wall, their fists clenched tightly involuntarily.

Hongyu had a gloomy face. It was the first time he saw Gu Chengming so depressed. Even though he was carefree, he could feel the pressure that Gu Chengming was under.

Jiang Zhilin was the same. The two looked at each other and saw the complicated looks in each other's eyes.

The two did not go forward to comfort her, as they knew that any words would be superfluous at this time. So, they chose to leave silently. However, at the moment they turned and left, an indescribable emotion surged in their hearts.

They walked step by step, and each step seemed so heavy.

A strong desire surged in my heart, that is the desire for power.

This desire for strength is like a burning flame, burning fiercely in their hearts.
