Chapter 2039: Chapter 1612: Passing the Buck, Sometimes It’s Okay to Steal from Yourself!

“Oh! Well, I forgot, I took this Top Three Divine Weapon, you guys know how to explain this to those people outside, right?”

Even though Gu Changsheng spoke those words so innocently, the Alliance Leader of the Metallurgical Alliance and his group of old men all wore expressions as if they’d eaten something unpleasant…

Took?

Is this woman sure she didn’t say it wrong?

This wasn’t taking! This was clearly outright robbery!

So what if she’s the Southern Emperor?

Uh… fine, the Southern Emperor is indeed remarkable, at the very least, even their Copper Walls and Iron Ramparts of Smelting City can’t offend, but this is just too bullying, isn’t it?

What do you mean they know how to explain to those people outside?

They don’t know!

They have absolutely no idea!

They still haven’t fully reacted to how this Treasure Thief suddenly became the infamous Southern Emperor Changsheng in the blink of an eye!

“What? You don’t know?” Gu Changsheng, holding the Top Three Divine Weapon, blinked again.

These old men, they look like they have a lot of experience, how come they can’t figure out such a small matter?

Really, they’re hopeless!

Should they know?

The Alliance Leader of the Metallurgical Alliance and others blinked, faces paling. Actually, they really shouldn’t know!

Heaven knows, the Southern Emperor who wasn’t supposed to be in Smelting City suddenly appeared in Smelting City, and even snatched the Top Three Divine Weapon from the platform at the Divine Weapon Convention. How are they supposed to give everyone in the world an explanation for this!

“You really don’t know!” Gu Changsheng looked at the Alliance Leader of the Metallurgical Alliance and the old men, shaking her head, “What a waste of growing so old, how can you be so clueless!”

Her words instantly turned the faces of the Alliance Leader of the Metallurgical Alliance and others a few shades paler!

This woman, simply too arrogant!

Not only did she rob them, but she also personally attacked them!

So what if they’re old? They might be old, but they eat well, of course, that was before encountering this clueless Treasure Thief Gu Changsheng. Blindly, they might not be able to swallow anything for some time!

Heaven have mercy, they haven’t offended anyone. How did they incur such a disaster for no reason?

The Alliance Leader of the Metallurgical Alliance and those who knew the truth felt like crying. Damn, it’s better not to know the truth; at least they’d have some way to vent and could still curse a bit. Now, they can’t even curse!

Truly, Smelting City and the people of the Southern Border are mutually incompatible!

Hundreds of years ago, the Disaster-Breaking Dagger was stolen by people from the Southern Border. Hundreds of years later, history repeats itself…

Sigh…

What should they do about this, what can they do?

“Uh… Ancestor, what exactly do you mean! Please stop messing around, even if the people below can’t hear us, they’re still watching intently!” At this point, Alliance Leader Yong Qing had no mind for tears. As soon as Gu Changsheng revealed her identity, Alliance Leader Yong Qing knew that this woman was determined to get this Top Three Divine Weapon, even if it meant exposing her identity!

Right now, the only thing on his mind is how to deal with the aftermath!

It truly isn’t an easy matter to handle!

“Well, Alliance Leader Yong Qing, you know, the less you know about my coming to Divine Mount Qilian, the better. Otherwise, it would bring me a lot of unnecessary trouble…” Gu Changsheng remained partially hidden, using the Dragon Awakening Soft Sword to prop up her chin, tilting her head with a casual air, “And unfortunately, I’m precisely someone extremely afraid of trouble. So, to prevent the news of me being Gu Changsheng from leaking out, I really don’t mind killing to silence anyone…”

“What!?” Alliance Leader Yong Qing was shocked.

Killing to silence?

Could it be this Ancestor revealed her identity just for this?

This is too cruel and bloody, right?

Alliance Leader Yong Qing instantly broke into a cold sweat…

“Heh heh, I was just scaring you, just kidding!” Gu Changsheng, seeing this, immediately gave a sheepish smile, her gaze shifting back to the people behind Alliance Leader Yong Qing. Her tone couldn’t help but carry a hint of heaviness with a thread of threatening pressure, “I just want to tell you all, I’ve always been someone who calculates everything precisely. Exposing my identity and causing unnecessary trouble for me, I’m sorry, but I can only ensure that person never has another chance for trouble…”

Gu Changsheng’s words were straightforward, implying if you expose her identity and cause her trouble, then go ahead and die, because once you’re dead, you’ll never have another chance for trouble!

Alliance Leader Yong Qing and the others heard it and immediately looked at each other, their faces growing rather grim!

Originally, the Metallurgy Alliance Leader and others who had thought of Alliance Leader Yong Qing as a traitor, now understood why Alliance Leader Yong Qing would act that way after knowing Gu Changsheng’s identity; if it were them, they could only do the same, because this woman is truly an ancestor not to be messed with!

Not to mention the million-strong army of the Southern Country behind her, her personal strength defying even the heavens is truly daunting, wanting to disrupt this Smelting City without opposition!

Thus, at this moment, those in power in the Smelting City once again stood on the same line!

“However, you don’t need to worry, I’m so kind, I naturally wouldn’t leave you without someone to account to outside, I’ve already thought of who will take the blame for me!” Gu Changsheng bore a face that appeared ever so benevolent, though outsiders couldn’t see it, she spoke smugly.

“Who?” As Gu Changsheng’s voice fell, Alliance Leader Yong Qing couldn’t wait to ask.

Who is it?

Who is so unlucky to be dragged out to take the blame by this ancestor?

“This person you are quite familiar with…” Gu Changsheng paused, then spoke with a smile.

“We are familiar? Who are we familiar with? It couldn’t be one of us, could it? Little ancestor, stop joking, if anyone among us had such ability, we wouldn’t watch the Top Three Divine Weapons fall into your hands, right?” Alliance Leader Yong Qing felt he had been fooled upon hearing this.

The elders of the Metallurgical Alliance had similar thoughts!

Where could we find someone with abilities as heaven-defying as Gu Changsheng?

But if there’s no one with Gu Changsheng’s heaven-defying abilities, then who could take the blame for what Gu Changsheng has done?

If a coward comes, this bunch of senior figures in power here in Smelting City couldn’t even protect the Top Three Divine Weapons; if this is spread far and wide, where would their aged faces go!

“Your Mountain God of Divine Mount Qilian!” Gu Changsheng blinked her eyes, looking terribly innocent, “How about it, this person is capable enough to take the blame for me, right?”

In the Smelting City, Baby Jin Bao heading towards the city’s checkpoint suddenly sneezed loudly, with a ton of snot all over Yuan Bao, who was holding him!

Likewise, unbeknownst to Baby Jin Bao, his face suddenly twisted terribly. Being a Spirit with high premonition ability, just now, he seemed to sense that something bad was happening to him, but what exactly was it?

Baby Jin Bao didn’t know!

And when Baby Jin Bao learned the truth afterward, he couldn’t help but become a crying mess…

His reputation, pristine for a thousand years, seemed ruined with nothing left…

“Mountain God? That’s absolutely impossible!” Almost at the same time that Gu Changsheng’s voice landed, Alliance Leader Yong Qing’s voice objected.

“The Mountain God is the Guardian God of our Divine Mount Qilian, how could you slander him like this!”

“Absolutely not! Not absolutely not!”

“…”

A group of old men voiced their opposition, adamantly against slandering their revered Mountain God!

Although their revered Mountain God didn’t appear in their prayers wishfully, it didn’t prevent their worship and belief in Him!

“Why not? Your Mountain God is the most suitable scapegoat, isn’t he? Monitoring and stealing is really possible, believe me!” Gu Changsheng held the Top Three Divine Weapons, shrugged, and said matter-of-factly.

That rascal, Baby Jin Bao clings to her like flypaper, poisoning her ears thrice daily, tempted her to become a deity, when it comes to throwing blame, Gu Changsheng wouldn’t even consider a second person…

Indeed!

It’s Baby Jin Bao!

The perfect scapegoat!

And, given the current situation, apart from her evildoer and Shi Wujue, there truly isn’t anyone else more suitable to take the blame!

Gu Changsheng felt that compared to the shameless Baby Jin Bao, her own face was much more important, so at such times, one should decisively sell out colleagues!

“No way! No way! Slandering the Mountain God is desecrating the Deity, you will incur divine punishment!” The Metallurgy Alliance Leader and others shook their heads, unable to accept such rhetoric.

“Ha! Divine punishment? Let me tell you, if my identity is exposed, no need to wait for divine punishment, I’ll be the first to punish you!” Gu Changsheng snorted, then said arrogantly, “It’s settled! At this Divine Weapon Convention, it wasn’t anyone else but your Mountain God Guardian who monitored and stole, you don’t need worry, I, Gu Changsheng, with my own head guarantee your Mountain God won’t blame you, rather he’ll thank you… Hahaha…”

Saying this, Gu Changsheng turned and left laughing, triumphantly leaving…

The crowd only saw the Top Three Divine Weapons, floating in mid-air, flying away, without ever seeing anyone’s figure!

Once the Top Three Divine Weapons vanished from sight, the blood-red threads filled over the arena slowly disappeared with them…
