Chapter 1830 - 1429: A Ninjutsu-User... and a Love Rival!

His gaze was cold and deep, but he still shook his head and said, "It’s not them!"

"If it’s not them, then who is it? Could it be a ghost?" Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yuan Bao immediately spoke, "My lady, it’s definitely that person hiding too deeply. We couldn’t tell them apart from the others. Shi Wujue is right; daring to ambush us is a potential threat. Better to kill the wrong person than let someone go unpunished! Dead people are the safest. Kill them all, and it will be over!"

Clearly, when his master received a threat, the round and smooth Yuan Bao could also transform into an Asura, deciding life and death at will!

Upon hearing Yuan Bao’s words, Gu Changsheng still shook his head and said, "It’s not them; they don’t have the ability to escape my detection!"

Gu Changsheng trusted himself. The aura that came from behind earlier was so faint it was almost nonexistent. If it weren’t for his strong vigilance, he would have fallen into the opponent’s trap and been successfully ambushed!

As for the people present here, it’s obvious none of them have such skills!

"My lady, you still say it’s not them. Could it really be a ghost? There are only those people and us here. Could we have ambushed ourselves?" Yuan Bao, hearing this, immediately got anxious and said quickly, "My lady, could it be that goodness has possessed you? You don’t want to kill them, do you?"

"No!" Gu Changsheng heard this and shook his head.

The life and death of these people didn’t really matter to Gu Changsheng much. Those who entered the Star Innate Tower originally had little chance of leaving alive. These people, those fortunate enough to walk out, are indeed few. Gu Changsheng just didn’t want to dirty his own hands.

"Is my lady unwilling to dirty her own hands? Don’t worry, leave this to me. I’m confident in dealing with them!" Yuan Bao, being the person who has been with Changsheng the longest, immediately guessed Gu Changsheng’s inner thoughts and volunteered.

Isn’t it just killing?

The number of people who have died at the hands of Yuan Bao, even if not a thousand, is at least eight hundred. Despite his pleasant appearance, by Zhou Mu’s side, the close Great Eunuch is no herbivore!

"It’s not them, nor is it us. Rather, the one ambushing us is someone else!" Gu Changsheng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Someone else? Another..." Yuan Bao heard this, glanced around, and his gaze changed slightly, "My lady, you must be joking. Besides us and those people, where is there anyone else?"

The first level of the Star Innate Tower is big, but standing in front of the stairs and looking around reveals everything at a glance!

For his lady to say there are others besides them, isn’t this akin to openly lying with big eyes?

Yuan Bao clearly hadn’t even seen a ghost’s shadow!

"Are you saying that there is someone here who retains Inner Strength and can conceal their presence?" Zhou Mu heard this and his gaze immediately turned cold.

"Not necessarily!" Gu Changsheng shook his head, "The first level of the Star Innate Tower was originally a place to disarm and dismiss soldiers. No one should be able to retain Inner Strength!"

"Then it’s..." Shi Wujue heard this, turned his head in confusion, and looked toward Gu Changsheng, "Without Inner Strength, how can someone conceal their form and presence in such an open space? How is that possible?"

"Yes, my lady, without Inner Strength, it’s impossible for us not to see someone ambushing us!" Yuan Bao agreed upon hearing.

Gu Changsheng’s face was frosty, brows furrowing as he glanced around, "Lack of Inner Strength doesn’t necessarily mean one can’t conceal their form and presence..."

Upon saying this, Gu Changsheng paused, and his gaze intensified as he looked around, continuing in a steady voice, "I once heard that in the world, there are endless wonders. Overseas, there are people who master a technique that doesn’t rely on Inner Strength, allowing them to hide their form and presence. Such people can use everything around them, even a leaf, a drop of water, and the air, to conceal themselves..."

And that technique is Ninjutsu!

In a past life, Gu Changsheng had encountered ambushes by ninja from enemy forces on the battlefield. The feeling was too similar to the incident earlier!

It was as if appearing out of nowhere. Carelessness would lead to death in the Yellow Springs, a threat everywhere!

"My lady, you must be joking!" Yuan Bao heard this and was immediately bewildered, "Is there really such a technique in this world? How can that be? I’ve never heard of it! It doesn’t seem real..."

"Originally, I also thought that such a technique didn’t exist. But now, we’ve encountered a master well-versed in it!" Gu Changsheng replied, a slight curve at the corner of his lips, addressing the air around him in a deep voice, "Master of stealth techniques, is your target me?"

Hidden by the wall, upon hearing this, Lige’s expression became exceptionally vibrant!

Gu Changsheng knowing of the Invisibility Technique already caused Lige to change color, but now Lige was certain that Gu Changsheng not only knew the technique but was aware of her presence!

However, Lige was confident in her Invisibility Technique, convinced that Gu Changsheng hadn’t found her hiding spot!

Yet, she wondered if she should respond.

"Yes!"

After some thought, Lige’s form appeared vaguely from the wall...

As her voice rang out, Diluo Han and the others were horrified, looking incredulously at the person who appeared out of thin air beside them, frightened by the magic of appearing suddenly, almost losing their Three Souls and Seven Spirits!

Their eyes met, but Lige didn’t even glance at Gu Changsheng, remaining hidden under her black clothes, with only a pair of eyes cold and merciless.

"Why?" Gu Changsheng asked, looking at the inexplicably appearing Lige, eyebrows slightly furrowed, without attacking.

She didn’t remember when she had ever offended a master skilled in Ninjutsu!

"Because of the man by your side!" Lige turned her eyes to Zhou Mu, standing beside Gu Changsheng, her gaze full of hostility.

Is this the man who ruined Elder Sister’s life?

Although Lige had been observing Gu Changsheng and her group from the shadows for a long time, this was the first true instance of confrontation!

Gu Changsheng heard this, turned his head to glance at his own evildoer, saw his eyebrows, finely chiseled like by a creator, slightly knit, and couldn’t help but roll his eyes...

Enough!

She finally understood how she offended such a master skilled in ninjutsu!

It’s all the handsome men’s fault!

"Handsome men, after all, are indeed disasters, disasters!" She murmured softly, and Gu Changsheng had already given up resisting!

Her own evildoer was born with such good looks, wasn’t it?

But to hand her own evildoer over to someone else, that’s absolutely out of the question!

"So, you want to kill me?" Gu Changsheng looked at the black-clad woman by the wall, shrugged helplessly, "But, a forced melon isn’t sweet, even if you kill me, he won’t like you, moreover, can you definitely manage to kill me?"

So, if you have any sense, you’d better leave quickly, don’t set yourself up for disappointment!

"I want to kill you, but, the person he likes isn’t me!" Lige, upon hearing this, slightly furrowed her brows.

"Uh..." Gu Changsheng frowned upon hearing this as well, "What kind of nonsense is this? What’s the logic?"

At this, Gu Changsheng waved his hand, with a casual face, "Whatever you’re saying, I can only tell you, it’s not that easy to want to kill me. When I didn’t know of your presence, you couldn’t even succeed with a sneak attack, let alone now that I’m aware of your existence?"

"How do you know the result without trying?" If I don’t kill her, how can I explain to Elder Sister when exiting the tower?

"The cost of trying, can you necessarily afford it?" Gu Changsheng smirked.

Rival in love, they can actually respect each other like guests, there’s no need to insist on life or death battles!

Her own evildoer really is good-looking, Gu Changsheng knows, such rivals in love are definitely indispensable!

"Not stopping until achieving the goal, the cost isn’t important!" Lige’s voice remained calm.

"Are you sure you want to kill?" Gu Changsheng squinted.

"Sure to kill!"

"Must kill?"

"Must kill!"

"Alright!" Gu Changsheng’s face turned slightly cold as he said seriously, "Then bring it on!"

After saying this, Gu Changsheng no longer looked at Lige, turned around, and headed up the stairs behind her.

Ninjas are indeed hard to defend against, but trying to kill her might not be that easy either. She wants to see whose hand the deer ends up dying in!

Gu Changsheng didn’t directly clash with Lige, naturally Zhou Mu and Shi Wujue wouldn’t either, glancing at Lige and then turning to walk up the steps.

A failed attempt, her movement technique exposed, naturally, Lige wouldn’t make another move soon, thus, as Gu Changsheng and the others ascended the spiral stairs, Lige’s figure standing by the wall again became blurred until it disappeared, with not a trace of breath left!

Gu Changsheng and others had already gone up the stairs, leaving only Diluo Han and dozens of others who watched one big live transformation, then experienced a life-and-death reincarnation, acted as spectators, barely dared to breathe, and now again witnessed a live person vanish right in front of them...

This shock was truly beyond measure...

"Godfather, that woman, actually, can disappear into thin air..."

"These people, who exactly are they? How come they provoke such people?"

"With such people climbing the tower alongside us, do we still have any hope?"

"It’s really too frightening!"

"..."

As soon as Gu Changsheng and the others walked away, the high-pressure atmosphere vanished with Lige’s disappearance, only then did Diluo Han and others dare to breathe loudly, feeling a sense of surviving a calamity!

And on the spiral staircase, Gu Changsheng walked slowly, her footsteps pounding unusually heavily, as if she bore a grudge against the stairs, looking as if she couldn’t wait to stomp through the steps!

"Changsheng..." Walking behind Gu Changsheng, Zhou Mu reached out, tugged at Gu Changsheng’s sleeve.

"Don’t touch me, can’t you see I’m angry?" Gu Changsheng pulled back her sleeve, tossed Zhou Mu’s hand aside without turning her head, speaking irritably.

Yuan Bao followed behind, his lips couldn’t help but twitch...

This...

Anyone with eyes could see you were angry, and quite so!

Yuan Bao’s gaze toward his own lord suddenly turned sympathetic, shook his head, and said to Shi Wujue in front, "Seems like my lord is in trouble, if my lord is in trouble, aren’t you quite happy?"
