Chapter 284 Mastering the Secrets of the Gu God, the Opponent Turns Against Him
"Lin Tianyan sent people to monitor us and manipulated the Aurora Cult to accelerate the awakening of the Ice Gu King. This debt must be settled."
"Moreover, as an organization with a history spanning thousands of years, the Heavenly Eye Society must possess many secrets about the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master."
"To uncover the truth, the 'Sky Eye' will be the best entry point."
Chen Duo pondered: "If the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master were truly allies, why did they become enemies?"
Jiang Mo shook his head: "That's exactly what I want to find out."
"The Gu God's memories have clearly been altered, concealing some important facts."
"Perhaps it is precisely these concealed truths that are the key to resolving the current crisis."
Wei Duoduo asked curiously, "If the truth is too cruel, can you accept it?"
Jiang Mo's eyes gleamed with golden light, his resolve unwavering: "No matter what the truth is, I will face it head-on."
"Only by understanding the past can we control the future; the lineage of the Gu God must not be defiled!"
More than ten hours later, the plane arrived at the mysterious valley where the Tianyan Society headquarters is located—"Guantian Valley".
Guantian Valley is located in a secluded branch of the Kunlun Mountains, surrounded by mountains and shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland.
The buildings in the valley are simple and elegant. The main building is a magnificent white jade observatory, about 100 meters high, like a tower reaching the sky.
As soon as Jiang Mo and his group stepped off the plane, a group of Tianyan Society disciples dressed in white robes and wearing star crowns came to greet them.
"Lord Jiang Mo, successor of the Gu God, our guild leader Lin Tianyan has been waiting for you for a long time. Please follow us." The leader bowed respectfully.
Jiang Mo sneered: "Lin Tianyan really expected me to come."
"The Golden Gu's divine power has alerted all other Gu!"
A flash of golden light appeared in his palm, and dozens of small golden insects flew out.
They hovered in the air for a moment, then scattered and disappeared into every corner.
"Just in case," Jiang Mo explained.
The white-robed disciples of the Heavenly Eye Society changed their expressions slightly, but dared not say anything, and could only lead Jiang Mo and his group to the main hall.
The main hall of the observatory is magnificent, with its four walls covered with celestial patterns.
The ceiling is a giant star chart, inlaid with countless sparkling gems, as if you were under a vast starry sky.
In the center of the hall is a crystal pool, its water so clear that it reflects the light of the star chart, creating a wondrous effect of light and shadow.
Lin Tianyan, dressed in a white robe, sat upright on the jade platform by the crystal pool. Upon seeing Jiang Mo and his group enter, he immediately stood up to greet them.
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to handle the Ice Gu King matter so quickly. You are truly admirable!"
Lin Tianyan wore a kind smile, as if he were genuinely praising Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo sneered: "President Lin, you're too kind. If it weren't for your manipulation of the Aurora Cult to accelerate the awakening of the Ice Gu King, I wouldn't have arrived there so quickly."
Lin Tianyan's expression remained unchanged, his smile unchanged: "Mr. Jiang, you are mistaken."
"I sent people to guide the Aurora Cult in conducting the ceremony precisely to slow down the awakening of the Ice Gu King."
"If not for this, the Ice Gu King would likely have already fully awakened, and the consequences would be unimaginable."
Jiang Mo's eyes gleamed with golden light: "Really? Then why did Odinson tell me that?"
"The ritual you instructed contains a spell that accelerates the awakening of the Ice Gu King?"
"Moreover, I'm sure President Lin already knew about the Seven Star Tomb I discovered at the bottom of the Eternal Frozen Abyss, right?"
The runes in Lin Tian's eyes flickered briefly before returning to calm: "Seven Star Tomb? I don't know what Mr. Jiang is referring to."
Jiang Mo sneered repeatedly: "Still pretending?"
With a wave of his hand, golden light flashed in his palm, and a golden light screen appeared out of thin air, displaying the scene inside the Seven Star Tomb.
"Seven ice coffins, seven elementalists, and the stone tablet recording the joint efforts of the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master to seal the elementalists."
"Does Chairman Lin really not know any of this?"
As Lin Tian watched the scene on the light screen, runes rapidly swirled in his eyes, and his expression finally changed.
"You...you really found the Seven Star Tomb..."
"Not only did they find it, but they also discovered an astonishing secret."
Jiang Mo's gaze was sharp; "The Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master were once allies, not enemies!"
"This is completely inconsistent with the memories I received from the Gu God. Clearly, someone deliberately altered history and concealed the truth."
Lin Tianyan took a deep breath, finally regaining his composure: "Mr. Jiang is indeed extraordinary; he discovered a secret hidden for thousands of years in such a short time."
"My Heavenly Eye Society has searched for the truth for countless years, yet I've only found fragmentary clues."
Jiang Mo's eyes gleamed with golden light: "Then, Chairman Lin, would you be willing to tell me the clues that the Sky Eye Club knows?"
Lin Tianyan shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately, the truth isn't so easily known."
"Mr. Jiang, sometimes the more you know, the greater the danger."
"The secret of the Seven Star Tomb concerns the survival of heaven and earth, and is beyond the reach of people like you and me."
Jiang Mo sneered: "Is that so? Then what is Chairman Lin's purpose in manipulating the Aurora Cult to hold a ceremony and accelerate the awakening of the Ice Gu King?"
"Isn't the goal to find the Seven Star Tomb through the Ice Gu King and obtain its secrets?"
Runes flashed rapidly in Lin Tian's eyes, and his tone became sharp: "Jiang Mo, you're too arrogant!"
The Heavenly Eye Society has been passed down for three thousand years, witnessing countless dynastic changes and the grudges between the Gu God and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Gu Sect.
"You, a newly risen successor of the Gu God, what gives you the right to question our actions?"
Jiang Mo's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and he exuded an aura of majesty: "Because I am the reincarnation of the Gu God!"
"All the myriad poisons under heaven are at my command!"
"Lin Tianyan, if you honestly confess everything the Tianyan Club knows, I can let bygones be bygones."
Otherwise...
Golden light surged in Jiang Mo's palm, and the small golden insects that had been scattered throughout the observatory suddenly appeared.
They converged in the air into a giant golden sword, pointing directly at Lin Tianyan!
"Otherwise, I will purge the sect today and see if this 3,000-year-old Heavenly Eye Society is truly as powerful as the legends say!"
The atmosphere inside the main hall of the observatory suddenly became tense. The golden longsword controlled by Jiang Mo hung in the air, exuding a sharp aura.
Runes swirled wildly in Lin Tian's eyes, as if he were calculating something.
Upon seeing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Eye Society inside the hall took out their magical weapons and prepared for battle.
"Wait!" Lin Tianyan waved his hand to stop everyone, and the runes in his eyes gradually calmed down.
"Mr. Jiang, why such a tense standoff? While my Heavenly Eye Society may have some reservations, we are not enemies of the Gu God lineage."
"On the contrary, since ancient times, the Heavenly Eye has been secretly assisting in maintaining the balance of the world, including monitoring those sealed dangerous entities."
Jiang Mo snorted coldly: "Enough with the nonsense, just tell me, how much does the Heavenly Eye know about the grudge between the Gu God and the Heavenly Gu Sect Master?"
Lin Tianyan pondered for a moment, then conceded: "Fine, since Mr. Jiang has already discovered the Seven Star Tomb, there are indeed some things you should know."
