The battle was over.
The ancient tranquility of Ru Xian Gu Chen had returned.
Seeing the two young friends he had made in the past appear before him.
He felt quite comforted.
And as for the originally worried Bai Li Dong Jun, he was even more grateful to have Jun Yu here, otherwise Gu Chen would have been in real danger.
After all, nominally speaking, Gu Chen was Bai Li Dong Jun's first master.
Jun Yu was both master and friend to Gu Chen.
This reunion was quite happy.
“Master, thankfully you’re alright! I never would have thought that Brother Jun Yu already knew you!”
“Yes, we met before you entered the Peach Blossom Forest!”
Gu Chen nodded, but was surprised that the two already knew each other.
“Looking back, I bothered senior quite a bit, and even drank quite a bit of your fine wine!”
“No problem, no problem!”
Gu Chen nodded, recalling the past moments, he felt increasingly sentimental.
Fortunately, at the last juncture of his life, they appeared.
“Unfortunately, I am at the end of my strength, and cannot accompany you any longer! Today, I consider it my final moment of joy!”
Only when he saw a trace of blood on his lips did Bai Li Dong Jun realize something was amiss.
Why did it seem like Gu Chen was giving instructions for his affairs.
“Dong Jun, you saw clearly my sword just now, right? From now on, you must rely on yourself to contemplate it! If you don’t understand anything, go ask Jun Yu, he is now the only other person in the world who is proficient in the Western Chu Sword Song!”
Gu Chen gave a few instructions to Bai Li Dong Jun, then summoned his Heaven and Man Sword.
This sword, which had accompanied the Ru Xian for many years, and once dominated the Jianghu, was finally to have a new successor.
Gu Chen passed on his swordsmanship to the two, then gave the Heaven and Man Sword to Jun Yu.
He seemed to have no regrets, and could leave peacefully.
“Master, what’s wrong with you?”
Bai Li Dong Jun finally noticed something was wrong.
Gu Chen was already at the end of his strength, and seemed to be about to leave this world.
“You haven’t noticed? When Senior Gu was using his sword just now, his hair turned black, and now it’s white again!”
With Jun Yu’s reminder, Bai Li Dong Jun and the others realized.
In fact, Gu Chen’s serious injury had never healed.
He had just been holding on for all these years, waiting for his time.
Now, he had forcibly used all of the techniques of the Western Chu Sword Song, and finally, he was going to leave this world.
“It’s okay, when it’s time, it will come. Your master is simply taking the lead, this Jianghu is ultimately yours, young people!”
Gu Chen smiled faintly, seemingly having accepted fate.
“Senior, I won’t say anything unnecessary. You treated me to so much wine before, today I’ll offer you a cup as well.”
Jun Yu did not hesitate, he took out the newly rewarded Drunkard’s Dream.
An exquisite wine flask, a jade green bottle, he poured a full cup for the other.
Gu Chen glanced at the wine cup that Jun Yu handed to him, and also showed a knowing smile.
“Alright, I can still have wine before I go, wonderful!”
He then took the wine cup and drank it in one gulp, but his eyelids grew increasingly heavy, and finally he became drowsy, losing consciousness.
Seeing the Ru Xian Gu Chen fall to the ground, unconscious.
The atmosphere on the scene was inexplicably sorrowful.
Bai Li Dong Jun even held his body, unable to accept it.
He cried out loud.
Even Xiao Ruofeng nearby, and Lei Meng Sha who had just arrived, were all moved.
As for the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis who had been watching the whole time.
They felt a surge of admiration in their hearts.
“I witnessed the grace of Senior Gu today, and it was not in vain!”
The White-Haired Immortal bowed deeply, his heart filled with admiration for Gu Chen.
“You’ve all seen it, right? Ru Xian Gu Chen is dead, he’s no longer a part of this Jianghu, if you have any grievances, feel free to come to me, Jun Yu.”
Jun Yu saw that the atmosphere was right, and immediately issued a decree to leave.
He first kicked out the two, Wu Fa Wu Tian, whose martial arts had been destroyed, out of the Peach Blossom Forest.
Then, he watched as the White-Haired Immortal and the others retreated voluntarily, and sent away Xiao Ruofeng and Lei Meng Sha, who represented the Imperial Family to investigate the truth.
Lei Meng Sha, seeing his senior brother now, was like a mouse seeing a cat, and was somewhat nervous.
He didn’t even dare to greet him, and scurried away.
When there was no one else in the Peach Blossom Forest, Jun Yu patted Bai Li Dong Jun on the shoulder, who was still grieving.
“Alright, you don’t have to be too sad. Gu Chen didn’t die, he’s just drunk!”
“What?”
Bai Li Dong Jun was heartbroken at the moment, and didn’t want to talk to anyone.
However, Jun Yu suddenly said this, leaving him dumbfounded.
However, how could he know?
Jun Yu had given Gu Chen the unique immortal wine, Drunkard’s Dream.
This wine was a rare delicacy in the world, with the effect of bringing people back to life and healing the dying.
Those who drink it will be drunk for a long time, sleeping for three days and three nights before waking up.
And when they wake up, all their injuries will be healed.
In other words.
Jun Yu tricked Gu Chen into drinking Drunkard’s Dream, just to put on a show and fool those outside.
Now that Xiao Ruofeng and the others had seen Gu Chen pass away, they could naturally go back and report.
Next.
Gu Chen could go back to living in seclusion in style.
Otherwise, Jun Yu’s trip would have been in vain!
Hearing Jun Yu say this, Bai Li Dong Jun was overjoyed.
This was truly a turn of fortune, so exciting.
“Is it really true? You better not be fooling me!”
“Look at what you said, I’m the senior brother of the Academy after all, how could I fool you!”
“Then were you fooling those people outside?”
Bai Li Dong Jun was also straightforward, and immediately asked back.
“Ridiculous, how could they be the same? I certainly wouldn’t fool my own people, unless you want to be my enemy!”
Seeing that Jun Yu had put on a stern face again, Bai Li Dong Jun quickly nodded seriously.
“I believe, I believe!”
Knowing that Gu Chen could be resurrected, he didn’t dare to joke.
He immediately followed Jun Yu’s instructions, taking Gu Chen out of the Peach Blossom Forest and making other arrangements for his residence.
After this ordeal, Gu Chen could rest assured.
But Bai Li Dong Jun was in trouble.
Taking him out of the Peach Blossom Array, and confirming that no one else was following.
Jun Yu, driving a carriage, asked Bai Li Dong Jun what he planned to do in the future.
“After all, you’ve been implicated, the Beili court will not stand idly by!”
