Chapter 825 - 46: An Invitation to the Grand Gathering
Zhong Yuan continued to gaze intently at Gu Shen, closely observing his reactions.
Zhong Yuan made no attempt to hide his intentions in speaking these words.
He was sincerely grateful that Gu Shen had brought his team members back to the fortress.
Yet, he was equally sincere in his suspicions.
This young man from the East Continent, just who exactly is he, capable of such inexplicable feats...
Especially after ending the nightmarish "Duolu River Disaster Realm" mission, his terrifying memories of the [River Poison] were still fresh.
"Seems like there is more to your words, sir."
Gu Shen calmly replied, "I am not aware of the ’Duolu River Disaster Realm’ and ’River Poison’ you speak of. I only know... the ’spiritual toxin’ outbreak at Gu Castle is not an unsolvable crisis. Even without my ’Chi Huo,’ the North Continent Army should have the capability to resolve it, right?
"Of course."
Zhong Yuan didn’t obtain any valuable information from Gu Shen, and candidly apologized: "Sorry... I was overthinking it. My mind has been overly tense these past few days, leading to some paranoia."
The blond man’s gaze drifted, as if lost in memories: "Though from a common source of power, Duolu River’s [River Poison] is much more severe than the toxin you neutralized this time. It is a kind of spiritual toxin that brings despair... to this day, I do not wish to recall the scenes of executing that mission."
Gu Shen squinted his eyes.
