For the period of time that followed, Gu Yun decided to stay in the palace. After all, with his Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster cultivation, the palace guards would not be able to discover him.
At the same time, he asked Princess Jianning to inquire about the 42 chapters of the scripture. The Golden Core left behind by a peerless expert was simply a great fortune. Perhaps it could help Gu Yun break through to the Supreme Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop. He was determined to obtain it.
Not long after, Princess Jianning sent news that she had seen similar books in the Oboi Mansion. It seemed that each of the eight masters had a book like this. However, because Ao Bai had seized the mansion of another Banner Lord, he had obtained an extra copy.
After hearing this news, Gu Yun did not stay for long. Late at night, he quietly entered Ao Bai's residence.
At this moment, Ao Bai was already heavily injured and could no longer fight against Gu Yun.
Gu Yun used the bewitching technique of the Nine Yin Scripture, and soon…Ao Bai happily handed over the two forty-two chapters of the scripture.
Finally, Gu Yun delivered another palm strike, killing Ao Bai on the spot.
He had shattered the spiritual energy between Ao Bai's eyebrows, causing the spiritual light in his soul to dissipate. Ordinary people could not investigate at all and only thought that he had died of old age.
After taking the scripture, Gu Yun returned to the palace, to Princess Jianning's bedchamber. He flipped open the 42 chapters of the sutra and examined it carefully. Indeed, there was a hidden layer in the depths of the sutra.
Opening it, Gu Yun saw a painting made of a special beast skin. He tried it and found that the palm force of a Heaven Realm expert was not enough to destroy the beast skin. The toughness of the beast skin was completely impervious to fire and water. There were some mysterious patterns on it, and upon closer inspection, it was a corner of a complete map. There were also some faint words on it.
The words seemed to be the words "Holy Ancestor Emperor".
Gu Yun's heart shook. It was indeed related to the founding ancestor. He continued to open another book and took out a beast skin scroll. On it were the words: The words 'Golden Core Sacred Artifact'.
All of this confirmed Gu Yun's determination to obtain all 42 chapters.
That night, Gu Yun slept very comfortably. Since he knew that each of the eight Banner Lords had one, it was much simpler. He was already a quasi-grandmaster, so he could naturally come and go freely between the Imperial Residence and the Imperial Palace.
Soon, he found out the location of the next Banner Lord's residence. It was none other than Prince Kang.
Just like that, one after another, including the current emperor, Gu Yun obtained the other six books in a short period of time.
The last scripture was about a Banner Lord who had gone to the south to fight and died in battle.
After a series of detailed inquiries, Gu Yun learned that the Banner Lord's belongings after his death had been tidied up by a rebel king surnamed Wu. The rebel king was the one who had been defeated a few days ago.
After confirming this, Gu Yun immediately left the palace and headed southwest. The rebel king's fief was in the southwest, and it was in a remote location.
The journey was quite long.
Therefore, Gu Yun bade farewell to Princess Jianning and the people from the Carefree Manor before heading southwest.
With his quasi-grandmaster's walking speed, although the journey was long, he could reach it within two days.
However, things still exceeded Gu Yun's expectations.
When Gu Yun arrived at the fief of the rebel king surnamed Wu, he discovered that the rebel king had long disappeared. It was obvious that he had hidden in a corner after his defeat.
Gu Yun sighed repeatedly. He had never expected that he would not be able to find the most important corner of the map at the last moment. If not for this last corner of the map, the area that Gu Yun needed to search would still be very large. Moreover, since ancient times, divine items had always concealed themselves. A divine item that gathered the entire life's strength of a peerless expert like this had a powerful shielding ability. It was not that easy to find.
Therefore, the last corner of the map had to be obtained.
Otherwise, Gu Yun would most likely have to wait a long time to find it.
Just like that, Gu Yun stayed in the southwest region. Every day, he would use the bewitching technique here to interrogate the residents near the King of Rebel's Residence one by one, asking about the whereabouts of those rebel kings.
He made up his mind. Even if he had to use this primitive and crude method, he had to find it.
This search took a full month.
The next month, Gu Yun continued to search. On this day, he finally received some news. It turned out that the person he was questioning was the king's personal guard. He had deliberately returned to the vicinity of the king's residence to investigate and see if there were any special suspicious people who had come to inquire.
In the end, he was bumped into by Gu Yun.
Gu Yun revealed a smile that he had not seen for a long time. This was really a coincidence.
According to the news, the rebel king lived in a nearby basement. Gu Yun quickly went over. The basement was located in a prosperous restaurant. Usually, no one would suspect that there was a basement here.
Gu Yun walked into this place, passing through the front hall and arriving at the backyard.
He pushed open a door, and through the door, he could see rows and rows of bookshelves.
Gu Yun gently pushed the bookshelf and it immediately turned around with a crack. In fact, there were traps in the bookshelves, but Gu Yun had already become a quasi-grandmaster. His physical strength was astonishing, and those mechanisms were directly torn apart by his hidden force.
When the bookshelf was flipped over, a stone chamber was revealed. There seemed to be many people living in the stone room, and there was a sound of conversation.
Gu Yun's eyes revealed a hint of a smile as he strode inside.
"How dare you! Who are you? How dare you trespass here? Men…arrest him!!!”A black-robed man shouted coldly.
Soon, a group of burly men rushed over and surrounded Gu Yun.
Their punches were fierce and fierce. They were all a group of well-trained martial artists.
Boom! However, Gu Yun's body did not move. With a slight tremble, a layer of ripples swept out in all directions. Bang, bang, bang! A group of black-robed men were sent flying by the impact. They coughed up large mouthfuls of blood and fainted.
Gu Yun continued to walk forward, and another group of experts swooped down from behind. This time, he didn't hold back anymore. He slammed his palm down, and a wave of palm energy that could topple mountains and overturn seas surged out, sending those martial artists flying and killing them on the spot.
At this moment, he saw the rebel king. It was a middle-aged man with bloodstains on his face. He was very tall, but his face was filled with fear."You…who are you? Is it an expert sent by the old emperor to kill me?”
Gu Yun shook his head." I'm not here to kill you. I'm just here to find something."”
In the next moment, a strange glowing pattern appeared in his eyes as he stared at this rebel king surnamed Wu.
The other party's entire body trembled, and then his eyes became lifeless.
"Where is the scripture of the 42 chapters you found?" Gu Yun asked coldly.”
"With my daughter?"
"Where is your daughter?" Gu Yun was slightly taken aback.”
"My daughter is in the Water-Moon Nunnery, eight miles southeast of here.”
Gu Yun knocked him out with a single palm strike. He then leaped and headed toward the Water-Moon Nunnery in the southeast direction.
