Uncle Gong's words startled Yuan Fang and her brother.
Were they cursed by Uncle Gong from birth?
How is that possible?
"Uncle Gong, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yuan Hong asked nervously.
His wife left early, and he raised the children alone with great difficulty. His two children are everything to him, so he is naturally very anxious.
However, both children have been perfectly healthy since they were little, especially Yuan Ye, who is as strong as a calf and doesn't look like he's been poisoned at all.
"Don't believe me?"
Uncle Gong sneered, and the entire ancestral hall was still shaking.
Just then, the two large locust trees in the yard suddenly changed.
The tree roots suddenly bulged up from the soil, and then two huge rootlets emerged from the soil. On those rootlets hung two fruits that looked like ginseng fruits. The fruits were in human form, like a boy and a girl. And the appearance of the boy and girl was very similar to Yuan Fang and Yuan Ye.
"What...what is this?"
The siblings were stunned and couldn't help but shout in unison.
Uncle Gong laughed twice and said, "This Gu is called the Substitute Gu. From the moment you were born, I took the opportunity to extract your essence and blood, and then used these two locust trees to nurture the Substitute Gu. After more than 20 years of cultivation, I have successfully cultivated your Substitute Gu. As long as I control the Substitute Gu, it is equivalent to controlling you two siblings. Once Yuan Hong dies, you will be my slaves. I can make you do whatever I want!"
"That's utter nonsense! I don't believe it!" Yuan Ye shouted, glaring at Uncle Gong as he charged forward.
Uncle Gong's expression changed, and he immediately grabbed the substitute Gu in his hand and squeezed it gently.
ah!
Yuan Ye instantly collapsed to the ground, clutching his heart, his body convulsing in pain.
At the same time, Uncle Gong took Yuan Fang's substitute Gu, pinched it, and Yuan Fang immediately collapsed to the ground.
"Son! Fangfang!"
Seeing his son and daughter in such agony, Yuan Hong felt as if his heart was breaking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gong Tao, what do you want? Release my son and daughter right now!"
"Release them?" Gong Tao sneered. "I've endured for so many years, all for this day. I'm about to reap immense wealth and glory. You think I'll just give it up because you want me to?"
Gong Tao wore a smug expression. He had spent so many years lying in wait, guarding the dark ancestral hall, all to cultivate these two substitute Gu poisons and completely control the Yuan family. With such wealth, his descendants could secure a respectable position within the Gu witchcraft sect!
Lin Yu's eyes also darkened as he said, "Now I finally understand why the martial arts sects wanted to exterminate your Witchcraft Sect. Your Gong family is indeed sinister. If we let them grow stronger, it will be a huge disaster!"
Lin Yu wasn't exaggerating at all. Witchcraft and sorcery are inherently insidious; using them to harm people is like killing without a trace, with extremely serious consequences. If left unchecked, the future threat will be far greater than that of the Undead!
At this moment, Lin Yu had made up his mind to completely eradicate these remnants of the witchcraft sect and never let them rise again!
Gong Tao looked at him with disdain: "Young man, you can see through my Gu technique, so you do have some skill. You must come from some hidden sect. I don't easily make enemies. If you leave now and stop interfering in the Yuan family's affairs, I can pretend nothing happened. How about it?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong immediately became nervous.
Because right now, only Lin Yu can save their family. If Lin Yu leaves, the Yuan family will be in grave danger!
“Mr. Lin…” Yuan Hong looked at Lin Yu with a pleading expression.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan, there's no need to worry. I am Yuan Ye's regimental commander, a brother and comrade-in-arms. How could I abandon you all? I will not only take care of what happened today, but I'm determined to do it. I will wipe out the entire Witchcraft Sect!"
Yuan Honghu was visibly shaken, deeply moved.
Uncle Gong, however, immediately turned pale and said coldly, "Boy, since you're so stubborn, you can't blame me. You and Yuan Hong will die together!"
Gong Tao sneered and then began to silently chant a spell.
Just as he was chanting the incantation, the two large locust trees suddenly stirred again, their branches and leaves moving without any wind. Then, countless black insects crawled down the trunks.
"What is that?" Yuan Hong felt his scalp tingle. As someone who suffers from trypophobia, he almost collapsed to the ground upon seeing this scene.
Gong Tao sneered, "In the past twenty years, with nothing to do, I naturally raised some Gu worms. What you see is called Tree Gu, which is fed with human ashes. It is extremely Yin and evil. As long as you are bitten, you will be poisoned by corpse poison and will surely die! Yes, you guessed it right, it is fed with the ashes of your Yuan family's ancestor! Hahaha! Isn't that awesome?"
"You, you're a beast!" Yuan Hong was furious to the extreme, so furious that he forgot his fear.
He hired Gong Tao to guard the ancestral hall, but he never expected that the old man would use his ancestor's ashes to raise poisonous insects. He's an animal, no, even worse than an animal!
"Go ahead and curse! Curse all you want! You're not going to live much longer anyway!" Gong Tao said smugly, as if he had Yuan Hong and Lin Yu completely under his thumb.
He was very confident in his Gu worms because of their toxicity. Such terrifying Gu poison would kill even a martial arts master if bitten, let alone a mere mortal.
Lin Yu sneered, his laughter filled with disdain.
"You think you can kill me with just a mere Gu worm? You're naive!"
In his view, Gong Tao's behavior was no different from an ant trying to swallow an elephant; he didn't even consider these little insects worthy of his attention.
After all, it's just a matter of a fire!
brush!
The next second, crimson flames shot out from his arm, spreading rapidly across the ground like fire serpents, turning into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye.
Gong Tao was stunned when he saw this.
However, he immediately sneered and said disdainfully, "Are you just showing off? You underestimate my Gu worms. You think ordinary flames can burn away something so yin and evil? That's a joke! Unless you have heavenly fire or earthly fire, it's not something ordinary flames can do!"
Gong Tao looked smug.
Are heavenly fire and earthly fire things that mortals can control?
That's utter nonsense!
However, the next second, his expression froze.
The moment the Gu worm came into contact with the crimson flame, it immediately caught fire, turning into a large flame resembling a ghost fire.
Crunch, crunch!
The sound of burning plastic came one after another, and the insects that were burned were instantly turned to ashes, without even having time to scream!
