Chapter 530: Why Use a Butcher Knife to Kill a Chicken?

The father and son nodded solemnly: "It should be."

"But our ancestral master has been gone for almost a thousand years, how could her Gu be..."

Grandpa Wu couldn't help but smile upon hearing this: "You're still too naive. The Gu that a truly powerful Gu master raises can potentially be immortal, incorruptible, and incorruptible. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many Gu worms left behind by our ancestors under the ancestral hall? If those Gu worms are like that, then our ancestor's Gu King is something else entirely."

Wu Chi choked, still feeling that he needed some time to process this overwhelming information.

But the most important thing right now is...

"It was already impolite of us not to welcome the Gu King in time. Now that we have discovered it, we should bring it back as soon as possible."

Wu Chi frowned, took Grandpa Wu's hand and said, "Grandpa, let me go. I am the future heir of the village, and the blood of the Wu clan flows in my veins. If I go, it shouldn't hurt me."

Don't be fooled by the clean and pure appearance of this jade toad. It has been forged into a Gu King by consuming so many poisonous insects and undergoing countless trials. Who knows how terrifying toxins it may carry.

If you anger it, it might throw something at you, and you won't even know how you died.

Grandpa Wu is old, and Wu Chi dares not let him take this risk.

But Grandpa Wu had the same idea: "No, I'm the one in charge, I'll go."

"grandfather."

"Alright, all of you stop arguing. I am the clan leader. I'll go. Ah Chi, take good care of your grandfather."

Without giving the grandfather and grandson a chance to refute, Wu Yan walked past the poisonous creatures on the ground and headed towards the jade toad.

As soon as it stepped onto the steps in front of the house, Yu Chan stopped jumping, its whole body tense, in a defensive state as if it might attack at any moment.

The hearts of Wu Chi and the others nearby jumped up immediately. Wu Yan also paused for a moment when he saw this, and then tentatively stepped onto the steps.

As soon as he made a move, Yu Chan spat in his direction.

Sizzle——

The chilling ice spikes landed right in front of Wu Yan, as if to say, "Dare to take another step forward, or don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wu Yan's forward step froze in mid-air. He then shamelessly pulled back, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "The 289th patriarch of the Wu clan respectfully welcomes the Gu King. We hope the Gu King will return with us. From now on, all members of our clan will do their utmost to serve the Gu King."

As soon as Wu Yan said this, an uproar broke out outside the courtyard. The Gu King? That jade toad was actually the Gu King!

Good heavens, who exactly raised this Gu King? How come they haven't heard a thing?

However, if that little thing is truly the King of Gu, then it explains why my little poisonous insects dare not move an inch in front of it.

A Gu King is not something that can be raised casually. Generally speaking, a clan can only have one Gu King.

Just as two tigers cannot share one mountain, if there are two equally powerful Gu worms in a clan, then in order to become the Gu King...

The two insects will fight, and the winner will become the Gu King, while the loser will become the victor's meal, adding to the opponent's strength.

Hearing the commotion and discussions of the crowd, Wu Chi's face was more unpleasant than ever before, and for the first time, he felt resentment towards his clansmen.

His father was risking his life and working hard to bring back the Gu King, but these people showed no consideration and instead made a lot of noise and talked amongst themselves.

They never considered that their noise might alert the Gu King and cause him to attack their father.

Wu Yan's words and the commotion outside quickly reached Ye Wanxi and the others. They were quite surprised and asked, "Gu King? What is a Gu King?"

Ye Wanxi looked solemn. The longer she stayed there, the stronger her sense of unease became, and she felt that she had to do something.

"It's the most powerful Gu worm. Generally speaking, a powerful Gu King has the ability to control Gu worms within its range, and Gu worms can control ordinary poisonous insects."

Shi Yuyan exclaimed in surprise, "Doesn't that mean it controls all the poisonous insects within a radius of several miles or even hundreds of miles? It can make them bite whoever it wants? This is a deadly weapon!"

The young Taoist sighed and echoed, "Miss Ye is right. The Gu King is an extremely rare Gu worm. To become a Gu King, one must devour at least tens of thousands of poisonous insects. And because it consumes so many Gu worms, it is also full of poison. Ordinary Gu worms will avoid it when they see it and dare not offend it at all."

"I had heard my master mention this before I came here. However, my master also said that since the establishment of our sect, no one had ever mentioned the Gu King. The information in the special department only mentioned its name but never its appearance. Therefore, everyone generally believed that it was a legendary thing. I never expected to encounter it here."

Shi Lang looked worried after hearing this: "This Gu King sounds dangerous. The Golden Silkworm Gu was already fierce, but this Gu King is even more powerful. Doesn't the danger level increase several times? Do you think they might use this Gu King against us?"

"Probably not." Ye Wanxi pursed her lips. "Didn't you hear their clan leader say that they asked the Gu King to go back with them? I think this Gu King was only recently born. They're too busy trying to befriend it to even think about using it to deal with us."

Shi Yuyan nodded in agreement: "I also think not. There's a saying, 'Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut?' They probably don't have that kind of wealth."

Feng Tianyu glanced at him and sneered, "You are, but we are not."

Shi Yuyan was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Feng Tianyu meant that she was the chicken about to be killed, while they were not. She immediately glared at him resentfully and secretly fumed.

After Feng Tianyu finished speaking, he saw Ye Wanxi staring blankly at the door in front of her. She raised an eyebrow and asked in a low voice, "Curious?"

“A little.” Ye Wanxi reached out and pressed her chest. “I always feel like there’s something outside that’s very familiar to me, a kind of familiar aura.”

Feng Tianyu rolled his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and took her hand, saying, "Then let's go out and take a look."

Wu Yan shouted for a long time but received no reply or response. He cautiously looked up and saw that the little jade toad spat in his direction again.

Sizzle—this time the icicles are even bigger than before!

Wu Yan: "?!" Does this mean he's unwilling?

Before he could think any further, the wooden door in front of Yu Chan slowly opened, and a figure gradually appeared from behind it.

The little jade toad, which had been confronting Wu Yan, seemed to sense something and decisively abandoned this "unfilial descendant" who was disturbing it. It then jumped towards the people inside the house, and its cheerful chirping could still be faintly heard.

"Croak!"

The Wu family, three generations: Our own ancestor has jumped into the arms of an outsider, who can we complain to?
