Chapter 95 Rank 5 Gu

Fang Yuan rapidly searched through his memories for everything he knew about the first-generation Gu Yue while considering how to deal with the situation.

Although the first-generation Gu Yue had just saved his life, Fang Yuan did not lower his guard in the slightest. He had once cultivated Blood Path himself and understood its methods far too well. Who knew whether this old monster would suddenly decide to drain his blood to refine some Gu?

At this moment, the first-generation Gu Yue suddenly released Jia Jinsheng, his expression turning ugly. While searching through Jia Jinsheng’s aperture and taking away his Gu, the last trace of life within Jia Jinsheng had finally disappeared.

The first-generation Gu Yue tried several times to save him, but all his attempts failed. He possessed powerful Blood Path healing Killer Move and could repair severe physical injuries, but Jia Jinsheng’s soul had already left his body. No matter how capable he was, he could not bring him back.

“If only I still had a Soul Path Gu capable of searching souls. I could have searched his soul directly instead of going through all this trouble. Unfortunately, most of the Gu I stored back then either starved to death over the years or were destroyed by that bastard Flower Wine Monk during our battle.”

The first-generation Gu Yue could not help feeling regret. Back then, Flower Wine Monk had come to Gu Yue Village because he wanted to use the clan’s primeval spring to refine a Gu. However, what happened afterward had gone far beyond his expectations.

After defeating the fourth-generation clan leader, Flower Wine Monk attempted to use the primeval spring to complete his refinement. The first-generation Gu Yue, who had secretly made arrangements beneath the village long ago, dragged him into the underground blood lake, where the two fought a fierce battle.

During the battle, Flower Wine Monk accidentally destroyed the place where the first-generation Gu Yue had stored many of his Gu. In return, the first-generation Gu Yue inflicted severe injuries upon him, leaving Flower Wine Monk on the verge of death.

Flower Wine Monk ultimately escaped with the help of his remaining Gu and established an inheritance to take revenge on the Gu Yue Clan. This was also why he had still possessed considerable strength when he escaped Gu Yue Village, yet appeared covered in blood and close to death in the images he later left behind.

“Young man, tell me who this Gu Master was and what happened here.”

After storing the remaining Gu inside his aperture, the first-generation Gu Yue turned toward Fang Yuan, his blood-red eyes staring directly at him.

The Blood Path aura that awakened me shouldn’t have come from this dead brat. Could it have been that fellow swallowed by my Blood River Python?

The first-generation Gu Yue still did not understand exactly what had happened.

But one thing was already certain. These outsiders who had arrived at Gu Yue Village were far more interesting than he had expected.

Fang Yuan immediately adopted the demeanor of an obedient and sensible junior. “Yes, Ancestor. Please allow me to explain everything in detail.”

Meanwhile, Lin Feng opened his eyes and found himself surrounded by a dark crimson space. He was currently inside the stomach of the Rank Five Blood River Python. He immediately raised a layer of crimson light around his body, blocking the corrosive gastric fluids.

So things really did change after all? I didn’t expect the first-generation Gu Yue to awaken early. Interesting. I thought Heaven’s Will might arrange something like the Thousand-Li Earth Wolf Spider left behind by Flower Wine Monk.

Lin Feng had already prepared himself for something unexpected, but what happened still exceeded his expectations. Heaven’s Will had directly brought out a Rank Five Gu Master. Although the first-generation Gu Yue had transformed into a zombie and his mind was no longer as sharp as before, Rank Five was still Rank Five. On top of that, he possessed a Rank Five Gu. If Lin Feng had come here unprepared, he might truly have died this time.

Fortunately, the situation was still within his control. Before coming to Qing Mao Mountain, Lin Feng had refined several Blood Path Gu and prepared other Gu for emergencies. He was also thoroughly familiar with his Blood Path and Bone Path killer moves, allowing him to counterattack the moment the Blood River Python swallowed him.

Blood Path killer move, Blood Escape!

The killer move activated within the Blood River Python’s body, enveloping Lin Feng in blood-red light. Strangely, the Blood River Python itself was drawn into the killer move, and in the next instant, both transformed into a streak of blood light that shot through the distance. In only a short time, Lin Feng had escaped nearly a hundred li away.

The first-generation Gu Yue was unlikely to catch up anytime soon. He had been sleeping for hundreds of years and had already transformed into a zombie, leaving his thoughts slow and stiff. Activating a powerful movement killer move under such circumstances would not be easy.

Still, what exactly delayed Tie Xue Leng? He actually asked me to investigate Gu Yue Village for traces of Blood Path while he dealt with something else. With his righteous and incorruptible nature, he shouldn’t have done that without a good reason…

Lin Feng’s thoughts suddenly stopped. Could it be Heaven’s Will again?

If Tie Xue Leng arrived at Qing Mao Mountain now, neither the first-generation Gu Yue nor the arrangements beneath Gu Yue Village would escape his investigation. To protect the chess piece it had cultivated for hundreds of years, Heaven’s Will naturally had reason to prevent Tie Xue Leng from reaching Qing Mao Mountain at this moment.

Lin Feng considered it briefly before putting the matter aside. Forget it. I can think about that later. Since the first-generation Gu Yue was generous enough to send me such a valuable gift, it would be rude not to accept it.

His attention shifted toward the Rank Five Blood River Python caught within his killer move.

I’ll refine this Rank Five Gu first.
