Gu is the spirit of heaven and earth.

According to legend, in the distant mythological era, Gu Dao was once very popular.

At that time, monks practiced with poisonous insects and used them to enter the Tao, gaining supernatural powers.

However, later on, an extremely mysterious tenth-turn immortal Gu sealed and killed the Gu Dao Immortal Venerable.

From then on, the Gu Dao began to decline, while the Immortal Dao and the Martial Dao rose rapidly and are still the mainstream ways of cultivation today.

Although there are still orthodox Gu cultivators, they are very rare. Cultivators mostly use Gu insects as a magic weapon.

For example, the Gu family sent people to the mountains and forests to collect poisonous insects because after the cultivators captured and refined the poisonous insects, their combat power would be improved immediately.

However, the truly powerful poisonous insects that are found in the wild are extremely rare.

The poisonous insects that can be caught in the mountains and jungles are almost all below the fourth level.

However, the insect lying quietly in Gu Zhi's hand at this moment is a rare fourth-level insect.

Shadow Gu.

The nest of the poisonous insect that Erhuang took the Gu family to was the nest of this fourth-level shadow poisonous insect.

The fourth-level poisonous insect has the power equivalent to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator and a fourth-level warrior.

Moreover, most poisonous insects have special talents.

So generally speaking, poisonous insects of the same realm are stronger than cultivators.

This fourth-level shadow Gu rushed out of its nest, causing heavy casualties among the Gu family cultivators, and Erhuang was almost killed.

Fortunately, Gu Zhi acted in time, not only saving Er Huang, but also subduing the fourth-level shadow Gu with the Wanhun Banner.

The special talent of the fourth-level shadow Gu is the ability to conceal its breath and sneak into the shadows.

The monks from those killer organizations like the fourth-level shadow Gu the most.

Unfortunately, fourth-level shadow Gu are rare and hard to come by.

Gu Zhi was lucky. He went to Kongzhao City and not only killed Gu Minghui and the others, but also his cultivation level soared to the Golden Core Stage and he also subdued this fourth-level shadow Gu.

Of course, it was only a fourth-level shadow Gu, which was not enough to support Gu Zhi to return to the Gu family in Northern Xinjiang to settle accounts with Gu Chen.

The Gu family is now a behemoth. Relying solely on the concealment effect of the fourth-level shadow Gu, they will inevitably be discovered by the Gu family the moment they appear in the northern border.

Therefore, before Gu Zhi went to the Gu family in Northern Xinjiang, he had to refine this fourth-level shadow Gu into a fifth-level shadow demon Gu.

The fifth-level Shadow Demon Gu can make Gu Zhi's breath disappear and turn his body into a shadow.

As long as Gu Zhi stays in the shadows, no one will see him even if he stands in front of others.

However, this effect has certain limitations. Grandmasters of martial arts in the sixth realm, or cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage, will not be affected by it.

But Gu Zhi didn't care, because this effect was just icing on the cake for him.

What Gu Zhi really wanted was to make the breath disappear.

If the breath is hidden, no matter how well it is hidden, it may be discovered.

Cut off the breath at its source and make it disappear directly, and you won't be discovered.

As long as a strong man like Gu Kuange doesn't discover Gu Zhi's breath and knows that Gu Zhi has returned to the Northern Frontier, Gu Zhi will have the opportunity to settle the score with Gu Chen!

And if Gu Zhi wanted to refine the fourth-level shadow Gu into the fifth-level shadow demon Gu, he needed another Gu——

Fourth level soul-devouring Gu.

This fourth-level soul-devouring insect is also very rare.

However, Ye Qinghan said that she heard that a fourth-level soul-devouring Gu appeared in Luoxu Mountain a few months ago.

Gu Zhi wanted to give it a try to see if he could catch this fourth-level soul-devouring insect.

Although the fourth-level soul-devouring insect is very slippery, Erhuang can locate it. Ye Qinghan and he can block the fourth-level soul-devouring insect from the front and back, so it seems that they can catch it.

Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan took a brief rest at Xueyan Peak to recover their spiritual, physical, and mental strength, and then took Erhuang to Luoxu Mountain.

The Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect occupies one-third of the outer area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Although it is called the middle and outer layer area, it is actually still far away from the central area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains, and there is a large buffer zone in between.

If an accident occurs in the central area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Ten Thousand Blood Demon Sect will have time to evacuate.

Luoxu Mountain is located in that buffer zone.

Because it is a buffer zone and is not occupied by any sect, anyone who wants to go there can go.

When Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan arrived at Luoxu Mountain, they found that there was another group of people there.

This is a group of women, with beautiful looks, wearing gauze clothes, and graceful figures, all of them are sexy beauties.

"They are from the Miaoyu Demon Sect."

Ye Qinghan recognized the identities of these women at a glance:

"Everyone from the Miaoyu Demon Sect has a pink pattern on their lower abdomen, commonly known as the Charm Mark."

While speaking, Ye Qinghan was observing Gu Zhi.

Although the women of the Miaoyu Demon Sect are not prettier than her.

But they are so sexy!

They are all half-dressed and have specialized in magic skills to charm the minds of the opposite sex.

Ye Qinghan has encountered many disciples of the Wanxue Demon Sect who can't walk when they see the women of the Miaoyu Demon Sect.

"They also seem to be here for the fourth-level Soul Devouring Gu."

Gu Zhi hid in the dark, staring coldly at the group of wanton and coquettish women, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"Aren't you... moved?"

Ye Qinghan was secretly delighted by Gu Zhi's reaction, but asked curiously.

"What's your heartbeat?"

Gu Zhi turned to look at Ye Qinghan with a puzzled look on his face.

"They are so beautiful."

Ye Qinghan said one thing and meant another.

Gu Zhi smiled faintly and said:

"So-called beauty, in the end, is nothing more than a pile of yellow earth and a pile of skulls. To me, they are nothing more than a pile of bones and spirits wrapped in seemingly beautiful flesh."

Ye Qinghan was shocked.

Gu Zhi's state of mind makes him feel like he has seen through the world.

Is this the state of mind that an eighteen-year-old cultivator who has just reached the Dan stage can have?

Ye Qinghan was shocked and at the same time, a little worried.

"What about me? Am I just a skeleton?"

Ye Qinghan couldn't hide his nervousness when he asked this question.

She was not nervous when she risked her life to go to Gu's house and confronted Gu Kuange with a spear in hand.

But now, she was nervous.

"You're not."

Gu Zhi didn't hesitate and blurted out:

"You're not like those women."

Ye Qinghan was filled with joy, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

At this moment, Erhuang suddenly shouted in one direction.

Gu Zhi and Ye Qinghan looked over immediately.

I saw a palm-sized, gray, spider-like insect jumping high up from the miasma. It was the fourth-level soul-eating insect!

It spit out a ball of gray mist, which enveloped a demon tiger in the Nascent Soul stage. The demon tiger was killed without any resistance.

The fourth-level soul-devouring insect jumped onto the demon tiger, opened its mouth and sucked out the demon tiger's flesh, blood and soul immediately.

However, before the fourth-level soul-devouring insect could swallow the demon tiger's flesh, blood and soul.

Seven women in gauze skirts surrounded it.

"Fourth level Soul Devouring Gu, we've been waiting for you for a long time, we must catch you today!"

"Offer you to the Saint, and we will surely be rewarded handsomely!"

"Get started. Today, we must succeed, not fail!"

Seven women from the Miaoyu Demon Sect who were in the Nascent Soul stage raised their magic weapons and used their magical skills to attack the fourth-level Soul-Eating Gu.
