Chapter 61 - Bai Yao
That's right.
This ugly creature in front of him was the second-in-command of the Black Wind Mountain Village that Fang Yuan had used the Soul Capture Gu to control, the Gu slave that he used as a Gu refinement tool.
But...
Didn't he ask the Gu slave to find a place to hide and cultivate?
Why was he here?
Facing Fang Yuan's shout, the Gu slave did not react at all.
He only stood in front of the woman with a dull expression, as if he had already escaped the control of the Soul Capture Gu.
Fang Yuan looked at the woman with a deep gaze, wanting to ask the truth.
But when the words reached his mouth, he hesitated again.
If he asked now, the result would probably be that the two of them would end up on bad terms. There would be no benefits at all.
But if he could find out if the Soul Capture Gu was still in the Gu slave's body...
He might even be able to make some use of it.
"Looking at me like this, could it be that you feel that the person who refined the Gu slave is extremely evil, and you want to carry out your Gu Immortal Sect's principle of chivalry, killing me and carrying out justice for the heavens?"
Saying so, the woman laughed, looking at the token on Fang Yuan's waist with a playful expression.
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She did not suspect his relationship with the Gu slave. That was good.
He snorted coldly, following the woman's words. "I am not that bored."
The woman laughed even more impudently.
"Then aren't you condoning evil deeds? If the elders of Gu Immortal Sect knew that your sect had such a rebellious disciple like you, would they expel you from the sect?"
She had suffered a loss at Fang Yuan's hands earlier, so now that she had the chance, she naturally wanted to take advantage of him to vent her anger.
In any case, the two of them were already prepared to explore the ruins together. She were not afraid that he would turn hostile.
Fang Yuan could not be bothered with her. He squatted in the bushes and observed the movements of the monkeys.
The fire spirit monkeys loved to brew wine. Naturally, they also loved to drink wine.
When they were hungry, they would definitely take out the wine and enjoy it.
When they realized that the wine was gone, it would definitely cause the monkeys to gather in the wine cellar.
That would be the best time for them to enter the ruins.
"Hey."
The woman sat down next to Fang Yuan. A faint fragrance immediately assailed his nostrils, bringing with it an enticing temptation as she asked, "Are you angry just from that?"
Fang Yuan frowned and moved a little to the side.
The fragrance was too strong.
He did not like it.
She clearly did not smell so fragrant earlier.
Could it be that when she went to steal the monkey wine just now, she took the opportunity to apply perfume powder on her body to cover up the smell of sweat and blood that came from fighting with him for a long time?
It was very possible!
The woman looked at Fang Yuan's retreating action and was stunned for a moment.
This man...
Was he serious?
Then, she heard Fang Yuan's slightly disdainful voice.
"Speaking of which, don't get so close. Don't you know how bad your smell is?"
Bad... bad smell?
She lowered her head suspiciously and took two deep breaths.
There was a sweetness in the fragrance. How was it bad?
The woman snorted and sat aside.
She wasn't in a hurry to explain or question anything.
She still had some pride.
Why did he make it sound like she wanted him to like it?
Time passed slowly.
The two of them spent an unknown amount of time in silence.
Finally, the monkeys started shouting.
They ran towards the wine cellar while chattering.
Not a single monkey was left behind.
Fang Yuan's gaze focused, and he did not move.
The woman beside him laughed lightly, raising her hand and letting the strong Gu slave walk in front to investigate the entrance.
She stood up unhurriedly and looked at Fang Yuan.
"What, you don't plan to go in?"
"I'm afraid you'll trick me from behind."
Fang Yuan directly explained.
In fact, both of them were on guard against each other.
No matter what was in the ruins, they both wanted the other to take risks while they reap the benefits themselves.
"Actually, I'm afraid too."
The woman couldn't help but smile when she saw how honest Fang Yuan was. "But now that you bring it up, I'm not afraid anymore."
"Oh? Why is that?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Compared to a hypocrite, I am more willing to work with a true villain... Hmm?"
The woman suddenly turned her head, and following the dim light in the mystic realm, she vaguely saw two figures walking in the forest, "Someone is coming, it seems to be someone from my Gu Demon Sect."
Fang Yuan, who had the True Sight Gu, naturally found them, and he even saw the identity cards hanging on their waists.
They were indeed the same as the one he had obtained earlier, with the word 'Demon' carved on it.
Fang Yuan touched it without saying a word.
He had to strike first!
If the woman met with them, he would be the one to die.
The woman did not stop him. She just watched as Fang Yuan approached from the dark and sneakily attacked from behind.
Swoosh!
For a moment, the abilities of several Gu worms were accompanied by a sword light produced by the activation of a spell, illuminating half of the sky.
The strongest attack was unleashed at the first moment, and the effect was natural.
In just a moment, the two people were severely injured.
"... Pfft... who... who are you, why did you launch a sneak attack on the two of us?"
One of them clutched his chest and fell to the ground. Blood splattered all over his clothes, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The other person was also somewhat injured. He gritted his teeth, and seeing the token on Fang Yuan's body, he looked at him with hatred.
"You are from Gu Immortal Sect? Hehe, do you know that we are from the Gu Demon Sect? If you dare to attack us, aren't you afraid of starting a sect war!"
Fang Yuan looked at their identity tokens.
They were only two inner sect disciples.
His expression was cold as he ignored them.
With his identity as an inner sect disciple, he thought too highly of himself to want to start a sect war.
At this moment, the woman also came over and quietly looked at the two of them.
Their eyes lit up at the same time, as if they saw their savior.
"Senior Bai Yao?"
"Senior Bai Yao, quickly save us!"
Bai Yao did not do anything when she heard that. She only covered his mouth and chuckled, "Your lives are not up to me, ask him."
Saying so, she pointed at Fang Yuan, who was filled with killing intent.
The two Gu Demon Sect disciples were stunned.
What was the meaning of this?
Was she in cahoots with the perpetrator?
Fang Yuan's rod flashed with fire. He did not give them a chance to speak.
He smashed their heads with his rod, causing their brains to shoot out, ending their lives.
"I did not expect you to be so ruthless. This does not seem like the style of a Gu Immortal Sect disciple."
Bai Yao looked at Fang Yuan with interest. "The two of them did not have any enmity with you, yet you killed them just like that?"
"If I don't kill them first, would I let you kill me after entering the ruins?"
Fang Yuan snorted coldly. He did not feel any guilt.
It would be too late to resist after such a thing happened.
Bai Yao clapped.
"I didn't say that I wanted them to travel together with us. I just needed to think of a backup plan. Why fight to the death?"
"You want to mess with my mind?" Fang Yuan's gaze turned sharp. "Didn't you also watch them die without saving them as well?"
"Why would I mess with you?"
Bai Yao smiled charmingly. "Your actions were even more demonic than mine. If you try to stop me, won't you kill me as well?"
Fang Yuan couldn't be bothered with her.
This woman was definitely not simple. She had deep thoughts.
The reason why she didn't help them was probably because she didn't want to split the treasures in the ruins into two more portions.. She wanted him to take the opportunity to get rid of them.
