Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage began to stir.
The woman, however, seemed quite pleased with the atmosphere, presumably having deliberately stirred up the emotions of the crowd.
"The Golden Silkworm Gu is a treasure of the Miao region, and its quantity is extremely rare."
"Currently, only the Grand Wizard and the Witch possess the Golden Silkworm Gu."
“That makes sense, but if the Grand Wizard changes, I think the Golden Silkworm Gu will naturally change hands as well. I think... there shouldn’t be any problem with that.”
The woman turned her gaze to the high priest sitting in the highest position.
Before the high priest could speak, the burly man not far away shouted:
"What utter bullshit!"
"The Golden Silkworm Gu was fed by the Grand Wizard and the Witch with their own heart's blood, what business is it of anyone else's!"
"If they're so capable, let them find a couple of their own!"
"What the hell is the difference between this and robbery?!"
I looked at the burly man and saw that he was standing two steps below the high wizard, shouting at the woman below!
This burly man must be on the side of the Grand Wizard.
At this moment, Wen Xia, who was sitting to the side, became unhappy and quickly stood up, pointing at the burly man and saying:
"Jin Laowu, don't meddle in other people's business."
"Who gave you the right to speak here!"
"As the great shaman of Miao territory, I should have the right to control the fate and use of the Golden Silkworm Gu."
"But if the great wizard is outmatched and falls from his position, wouldn't it be very inappropriate to put the Golden Silkworm Gu in her hands again?"
The burly man clenched his fists in anger and cursed at Wen Xia, "You're so damn good for your mother's legs!"
"That's more appropriate; it would be more appropriate if you were dead!"
"You old geezer, all you do is cause trouble all day long!"
"The great wizard's own things, in the end, still have to be handed over to diplomacy?"
"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
"A hen with an iron butt can't lay a single egg in her entire life. If you want the Golden Silkworm Gu so badly, why don't you pull one out yourself!"
"I still remember the groveling your Wen family used to fawn over the Grand Wizard!"
"Now that you see the descendants of the great wizard family have fallen into decline, you start kicking them while they're down. Do you even consider yourselves human? You're worse than animals!"
"Pooh!"
The burly man unleashed a torrent of words, spitting at Wen Xia after he finished cursing.
Wen Xia was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and her hand holding the cane was shaking.
To be honest, this guy named Jin Laowu is really ruthless when he starts cursing.
Knowing full well that Wen Xia couldn't create the Golden Silkworm Gu and wanted to steal it openly, they instead focused on the other party's weaknesses.
The glamorous woman next to Wen Xia walked over to Wen Xia and helped her up.
Turning his head, he angrily rebuked Jin Laowu:
"Jin Laowu, I respect you as an elder and won't hold it against you, but as a junior, you've gone too far by speaking ill of my grandmother!"
When Jin Laowu heard the glamorous woman say that, he burst out laughing, pointing to his own nose as he laughed:
"What did you say? I'm being unreasonable?"
"Wen Fangxue, you're hilarious."
"You were the shameless ones who tried to steal things, but in the end you say I went too far."
"Like father, like son."
"The whole family is shameless and thinks they are right."
Wen Fangxue's face turned red with anger. It was clear that almost no one in this family could out-scold Jin Laowu.
He could only swallow his anger and sullenly sit back down in his chair.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the high wizard began to speak.
"Hmm... Stop arguing. I know the Golden Silkworm Gu is very tempting, Wen Xia. You've been eyeing the Golden Silkworm Gu in my possession for quite some time now."
"Since we've come this far, I'll give you this chance. If you're capable, take it from my hands."
Upon hearing this, Wen Xia's face lit up with joy.
It's clear that Wen Xia is really drooling over this so-called Golden Silkworm Gu.
"But there's one thing: you can't take the Golden Silkworm Gu from that little girl Yun Tao."
"This golden silkworm gu recognizes its master, after all, it was fed with that girl's heart's blood."
"Since she was able to raise this golden silkworm gu, it means she has the potential to become a great wizard."
"How can you let such a young child have her life ruined for your own selfish desires?"
Wen Xia, who had just started to smile, immediately changed her expression when she heard that the Golden Silkworm Gu in Yun Tao's hand could not be handed over.
Wen Fangxue, who was standing to the side, was also getting anxious. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Xia stopped her.
Wen Xia looked at the high priestess with greedy eyes and whispered, "Oh? But if she's not a witch, then..."
Before Wen Xia could finish speaking, her chair suddenly shattered.
Before Wen Xia could react to what was happening, she fell to the ground with a thud.
Wen Xia exclaimed in surprise:
Ouch!
"Ouch, that hurts so much!"
A quick glance at the stool next to me revealed a bunch of tiny insects nibbling at its legs.
The stool just cracked because of these little bugs.
The moment Wen Xia saw the little insect, her face turned cold.
The high priest's face was even colder than hers, revealing a hint of ruthlessness. His imposing aura, though not meant to be angry, terrified Wen Xia into silence.
"I think I've made myself clear enough."
"What? Do you have any questions?"
The words that Wen Xia was about to say were swallowed back down.
Wen Fangxue helped Wen Xia to her seat, while she stood aside, checking her feet for anything else.
Jin Laowu couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark: "Oh, see, I told you so."
"He just said it was an iron butt, and immediately showed off his skills. Great show!"
As he spoke, he clapped his hands enthusiastically!
The woman hosting the event seemed a bit deflated when she sensed the awkward atmosphere, and her voice even lowered.
"Now that both sides have reached an agreement, please make room for the Grand Wizard and Senior Wenxia to make their appearance."
The Grand Wizard slowly stood up and was helped onto the arena by Yun Tao.
Wen Xia glared venomously at the Grand Wizard and was helped onto the arena by Wen Fangxue.
The two stood facing each other, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
The Grand Wizard then said to Yun Tao, who was standing to the side, "Little Tao, go wait over there for a while. It'll be your turn next."
Yun Tao nodded and stepped aside.
The high wizard, still smiling, waved to Wen Xia: "Didn't you issue the challenge?"
"What? Do you really want this old woman to take action?"
Wen Xia's expression was rather unpleasant; clearly, she was very wary of the Grand Wizard.
After all, she should know best what the great wizard's strength is.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to see how battles between Gu Masters actually work.
Wen Xia couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative.
She opened her palm, and countless ants slowly crawled out of her sleeve. Anyone with trypophobia would be terrified by this sight.
