Gu Huai's eyes widened in disbelief: "No way, ancestor, are you kidding me? You say you don't know? Do you look like you don't know?"
Ye Sisi understood everything Gu Huai said; she had guessed correctly again, but this was definitely not a good thing.
She had been in close contact with the Life Gu, and her sensitivity to all life force and filth far surpassed that of ordinary people. Yet, even at such close range, she didn't detect any special aura on the Life Gu. She was certain that the Life Gu didn't possess any demonic energy or world-destroying power; it was just an insect with an abnormally high level of vitality.
But what kind of place is the Land of Demon Subduing? Demonic energy has lingered there for thousands of years. The ancient Tianyuan Domain no longer exists. There is probably not even a trace of green to be seen inside. The spiritual energy has long been tainted by the dense demonic energy. Although she did not sense any world-destroying power on the outskirts of the Land of Demon Subduing, she was certain that it must exist inside.
Therefore, under the erosion of demonic energy and the power of world destruction, the entire Demon-Slaying Land should have long since become a small demon realm. How could something like the Life Gu survive in it?
Furthermore, even if the Gu Clan's methods are bizarre, how did they infiltrate the Demon-Subduing Land and bring out the Life Gu? It's truly terrifying to think about. The waters of the Spirit Realm are deeper than she imagined.
"No, Gu Huai, who found out about this? Is it credible? What exactly is that Fate Gu?"
Seeing Ye Sisi's expression, Gu Huai realized that she was truly unaware and had only guessed. He was speechless; if it were him, he certainly wouldn't have guessed.
However, he still replied, "It seems that Senior Yu Ze of the Qinglan Chamber of Commerce took the lead. As for what the Life Gu is, I don't know, but don't you think that the Life Gu is somewhat similar to the Demon Seed?"
Ye Sisi thought about it and realized it made sense. Once a cultivator is possessed by a demonic seed, they become a puppet on a string. Moreover, once a cultivator dies, their life force will be drained. Although this life-giving Gu seems gentler, doesn't it also drain a person's life force in the end?
How exactly did those demons manage to research and develop these two things? And how did the Gu Clan manage to obtain the Life Gu? Could it be that they have secretly colluded with the demons?
Having received a positive answer from Gu Huai, Ye Sisi suddenly felt a sense of unease about the situation in the spirit world, and her heart sank into a deep chill.
It should be noted that ever since the Spirit Realm found the Purifying Stone, the demonic seeds have had no chance to cause trouble. Even after their great battle, they have to undergo strict checks before they can leave the Demon-Slaying Land.
But what if it's something like a Life Gu? The Purifying Spirit Stone can't detect it. Although it doesn't seem like a Life Gu can control a cultivator's mind like a Demon Seed, what if it's just lying dormant? What if those cultivators who bought Life Gu might stab them in the back one day?
Is this a case of the devil being one step ahead of the saint?
Seeing that Ye Sisi didn't speak, Gu Huai sat down next to her and sighed, "I don't know how many life-saving Gu have the Gu clan sold, or how many cultivators nearing the end of their lifespan have taken them. The key is that neither the Gu clan nor the people who bought the life-saving Gu will talk about it. It's very difficult to find them all. I'm just unlucky to have been born in this damned era. If I had been born a few thousand years earlier, I would have wiped out those treacherous and cunning demons. Not only that, but I wouldn't have left a single one of the Gu clan members alive either."
Ye Sisi glanced at him without saying anything, then after a moment of silence asked, "Are there many people who know about the Life Gu?"
"Not many. If word gets out, the Spirit Realm will probably be thrown into chaos first. The Alliance and major sects are already screening those cultivators who should have died from exhaustion of lifespan but have inexplicably survived or gone into seclusion. They should be able to find some, but it will be very difficult to find all of them."
"How is the Gu clan doing now?"
"What can you do? Those guys are not only cunning, but they also live in the Hundred Thousand Mountains year-round. The entire mountain range is full of various poisons, making it very difficult to wipe them out. Do you think they're out of their minds? Those demons who eat people without spitting out the bones, they dare to go and cooperate with them. Damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I can't take it anymore. I'm not happy. I'm going to go and get some cuddles with my old buddies. You go ahead and do your thing, ancestor."
After Gu Huai finished speaking, his figure disappeared into the magnificent sea of sword energy in a flash.
Ye Sisi still told Su Jiuli about this matter to see if he had any ideas.
"I'm currently tied up, but if you're bored, you can take a trip to the Gu Clan. Those deadly poisons won't affect you, and the Gu Clan's unorthodox methods are also ineffective against you. Although the Life Gu was obtained from the Demon-Slaying Land, there are so many powerful figures guarding the Demon-Slaying Land that the Gu Clan can't possibly leave all the time. So they must have brought out something that can create Life Gu. As long as you find it and destroy it, the Gu Clan will have a hard time causing any more trouble. As for those Gu Clan members, kill those who deserve it, but of course, your own safety is the most important thing."
Ye Sisi asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, you don't know the origin of the Life Gu?"
"The entire Spirit Realm is so vast, and the Demon Realm isn't small either. If I knew everything, wouldn't I be exhausted?"
"That seems to be true. Senior Brother, how long will it take to finish your business? It's been so many years."
"The setup is almost complete. Do you want to go check on the Gu Clan?"
"Second Senior Sister and the others should be gone for a while, but I can go and see them. Sigh, it's just a bit lonely."
Su Jiuli chuckled: "How old are you? Still afraid to go out alone?"
"It's not that we're afraid, it's just that we're not used to it and we don't like it. We don't even have anyone to talk to. By the way, Senior Brother, didn't you say you were going to take us to the Elven realm? When are we going?"
"It'll be soon. After Second Junior Sister and the others finish their journey through Heavenly Sword Abyss, we'll wait for you to make your trip to the Gu Clan."
Ye Sisi said "Oh", and then said, "Senior Brother, what happens after that? You're not going to be gone for many years, are you? My cultivation is so slow now. I want to cultivate with you."
Su Jiuli paused, his fair face flushed slightly, but he still coughed lightly and said, "It won't happen again. How about this, if you don't want to go alone, wait for me at the Immortal Pavilion in Qinglan City, and I'll have my second primordial spirit accompany you."
Ye Sisi felt a little frustrated when she heard about the second primordial spirit. Everyone else had it, but she didn't. Sigh, look at my senior brother, he can do two things at once.
"It's not good for your primordial spirit to be separated from your body for too long, and aren't you busy with important matters right now? Won't it have any impact if you separate a primordial spirit?"
"It's not a big problem. I won't do anything. I can still talk to you."
Ye Sisi...
"Then forget it. If you want to talk to me, just use a communication card. Besides, I'm all grown up now. I'm a Void Refinement cultivator now. When I'm out and about, people will call me 'senior.' Senior Brother, you should go about your business first. I'll go say hello to Second Senior Sister and the others."
Su Jiuli hummed in agreement but didn't press the matter. Since it involved the Path to Heaven and the Ascension Platform, things weren't simple; otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much time on it.
