The Death of Gu Master
Chaos, self-centeredness.
Oh!
Does he still have a sense of self?
The illusionary tree, wrapped in a giant sphere, carried Gu Ye away at breakneck speed. During this retreat, countless illusionary trees rose from the ground, densely blocking all attacks.
"Don't let him get away!" Shadow Eyes, half-covered in blood, was bloodthirsty and charged forward recklessly, gun in hand.
The frenzied phantom trees immediately surged toward him. At the same time, Ye Honglanzhi seized the opportunity to attack from the right, slashing down more than a dozen menacing phantom trees with a single sword strike. She then gathered all her demonic power and cleaved down at the phantom tree where Gu Ye was hiding.
With a loud bang, the layers of illusionary trees began to slow down, and Shadow Eye followed up with another shot, plunging it deep into the illusionary trees.
The Illusion Tree trembled violently, unleashing a powerful surge of evil energy. It was this opening that allowed Mie Chenhuan, who was already prepared, to strike with his blade.
An astonishing aura of death spread out, so ferocious that it seemed as if a vengeful ghost from hell had ripped open the breach.
In that instant, the three of them clearly saw the monster with the head of an insect and the body of a human. The next second, the Illusion Tree healed rapidly, but at the same time, a cold light flashed like lightning.
Whoosh!
Kou Huai threw his short sword with all his might, stabbing it accurately and ruthlessly into Gu Ye's throat. The Gu worm's head tilted to the side, and the illusion tree closed up again.
An eerie silence fell over the surroundings, and the wildly active illusion trees seemed to lose their vitality and began to wither slowly.
However, the illusion tree wrapped around Gu Ye grew larger and larger. Finally, with a loud boom, it burst forth with countless astonishing illusion trees. The sky suddenly darkened, a gale howled, and evil power surged into the sky. The overwhelming illusion trees rushed into the sky and finally pounced on the three of them.
In his last glance, Kou Huai saw Mie Chenhuan suddenly transform into a pitch-black monster, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on the dying Gu worm Illusion Tree. Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his eyes, as if a green light had flashed by, instantly making his hair stand on end.
What does this feel like? It's like being in the deepest hell, with indescribable fear permeating every bone and hair.
He is not easy to die, but he is not invincible either.
Kou Huai jolted awake, and when he came to his senses, he found himself slumped on the ground, with the heads of the Gu worms rolling around his feet, turning into a pool of foul blood in the blink of an eye, emitting a pungent stench.
Mie Chenhuan gripped the hilt of his knife, knelt on one knee, coughing up blood incessantly, his expression both ferocious and as if in great pain.
Countless sharp and piercing sounds seemed to appear out of nowhere in his head, causing him to throb with pain. He spat out a mouthful of blood into the eye on the hilt of the knife.
After spinning wildly for a while, the eyes slowly stopped and began to emit a soft light.
Under the influence of that light, Mie Chenhuan's expression gradually returned to normal, though she looked extremely tired.
Half a zhang behind the two, Yingmou, his mouth full of blood, forced a bitter smile. The Illusion Tree withered and fell from his brow. He turned his head to look at Ye Honglanzhi, who was pulling out the withered Illusion Tree that had pierced his heart. Blood gushed out immediately, but he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Kou Huai staggered to his feet, carefully checking himself for any remaining branches stuck in his body; it hurt terribly…
"Is he... dead?" he said in disbelief.
Mie Chenhuan lay sprawled on the ground, his voice hoarse, "We're not dead, it's us who are."
"Wow, I have to say, you're something else!" Yingmou leaned on his spear as he approached Miechenhuan. "You've been hiding your true strength!"
Mie Chenhuan glanced at him lazily, then turned his gaze to Kou Huai, who was covered in blood and looked even more miserable than him. He said with a somewhat ferocious expression, "I can't move for the time being. Carry me back."
Kou Huai suddenly widened his eyes, pointed at himself, and looked at him with a face that said, "Are you sure you want me, who looks even worse than you, to carry you back?"
After receiving Mie Chenhuan's affirmative reply, Kou Huai felt like a thousand grass mud horses were galloping through his mind, but after the gallop subsided, he slowly calmed down and gritted his teeth, finally giving in.
Damn it! We have no choice but to give in, we can't win!
The death of Gu Master sent a chill down the spines of both Gu Madam and Gu Queen.
Sensing the abnormality of the Gu Queen, Xiao Litian calculated the time, suddenly feinted with his sword, and quickly retreated, disappearing without a trace.
The Queen of Gu paused slightly, hesitant, but then heard the weak voice of the King of Gu in her mind.
"So what if he dies? It's not a big deal."
The Queen of Gu nodded slightly, and the King of Gu continued, "My recovery speed is still too slow."
The Queen of Gu understood immediately, and vanished without a trace.
Gu Ao, far away in Tunning Bend, could no longer sit still. With Gu Ye dead, she was the only remaining offspring Gu. She dared not be alone again and hurriedly headed towards Yanshi Ridge.
An hour later.
Xiao Litian and Yingmou and the others returned to the perilous peak one after another. As soon as they arrived at the entrance, Mie Chenhuan jumped off Kou Huai's back, dusted himself off, and looked completely at ease, as if nothing had happened.
Kou Huai was exhausted and covered in sweat. Seeing this, his face turned pale. He had been carrying it all the way, panting heavily. It turned out that this bastard was just playing a trick on him.
In contrast, Yingmou and Yehong Lanzhi looked like they had just been in a big fight, and both of them had some injuries.
Kou Huai gritted his teeth again and again, and finally decided to go back to his master to cry first, and then go change his clothes.
The great victory in eliminating Zi Gu boosted everyone's confidence. Kou Qiyu dared not let his guard down and kept an eye on the changes in the direction of Yan Shi Ridge. However, after several days, the area remained quiet, as if no one cared about Zi Gu's death.
The Zi Gu was merely a failed product awakened by the Demon Gu. What's there to feel sorry about destroying a failed product? The Gu King wouldn't care at all.
There is only one thing that can kill him.
At the border between Qiling Mountain and Fox Mountain, a majestic mountain stands tall. Ren Xiangxiang led Mo You through a dense forest and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. To their surprise, they found a curtain of water covering the rock face. The water flowed down and gathered into a shallow riverbed at the foot of the mountain. When they arrived, a deer was drinking water. Hearing the noise behind them, it immediately raised its head and ran away at full speed.
"This is the Valley of the Demons." Ren Xiangxiang hadn't spoken a word the whole way, but upon arriving here, she looked up at the water curtain and spoke softly.
Mo You had never been to the Valley of the Demons, but no matter how he looked at it, it was a dead end. How could there be a Valley of the Demons?
He watched Ren Xiangxiang hesitate for a moment, then took a step forward and walked to the water curtain.
Instantly, a soft light emanated from the water curtain, accompanied by the boy's clear voice, and entered the ears of the two.
"Xiangxiang, you really came! Caowa said you would come, but I didn't believe it!"
As they spoke, soft light transformed into a young man in light green clothes on the shallow riverbank, with red lips, white teeth, and a face as handsome as jade.
"Caowa..." Ren Xiangxiang had only said these two words when she suddenly stopped and changed her question to, "Is he alright?"
The boy laughed heartily, waved his hand, and with a deafening roar, the entire mountain split in two, revealing the full view of the valley.
“He likes you the most. How could he not be happy when you come to see him? Come on in! You know this place well, so you don’t need me to lead the way.” As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Mo You, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he still smiled and nodded. “Xiangxiang’s friend is also our friend. Let’s go in together.”
"Thank you." Mo You nodded and entered the Other Demon Valley one after the other with Ren Xiangxiang.
Indeed, the Valley of the Demons was a different world altogether, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming, ancient trees reaching the sky and towering peaks. The two followed a shady path deeper into the valley, encountering many curious little demons along the way.
“When the Valley of the Demons was first established, it was to provide a place for the weak demons to settle down. Over time, it gradually grew stronger.” Ren Xiangxiang explained, “I heard from Sister Fei that the people who first built the Valley of the Demons were her master, who was also Caowa’s parents, named Mingtu and Sixie, but I have never met them.”
They also seem to rarely appear in the valley.
Without saying another word, Ren Xiangxiang arrived at a very beautiful courtyard in the valley.
A girl in a red dress was secretly watching outside the courtyard, covering her ears and eavesdropping. When she saw the two people, she quickly made a shushing gesture.
A series of crackling sounds were heard from inside, followed by a furious roar.
"What else do you want? What did you gain from going to Fox Mountain on your own initiative last time? Besides losing several generals and inadvertently benefiting that bastard Yu Ziyuan, you also ended up with a bunch of injuries. What did you get? Tell me!"
The aloof woman in the dark red dress had been sitting, but she couldn't help but stand up when she got excited. She had fair skin and a natural smile in her eyes. She was stunningly beautiful, but unfortunately, she was blinded by anger and didn't even notice that her hairpin had fallen off.
The young man, kneeling obediently in the middle, remained silent and carefully picked up the hairpin and handed it over.
The woman snatched the hairpin away, raised her hand, looked at it, then at the man's pitiful, handsome face, and ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Was I out of my mind back then? How did I end up on your pirate ship?" The woman was none other than Huo Xiefei, the wife of the Valley Master of Bieyao Valley. She was a master of the scorpion tail whip, and no one in the valley dared to challenge her.
It was even rumored within the valley that offending the Valley Master was one thing, but offending the Valley Master's wife would leave you severely injured, if not dead.
In fact, Valley Master Qiongming is quite strong, but when facing Madam, his aura suddenly weakens by three points. Last time, he secretly ran away to Fox Mountain behind Afei's back, and was eventually dragged back by the ear. His ear hurt for a long time, but he wasn't very angry.
This time, hearing from Caowa that Qiling Mountain was in chaos, he became restless again. Their Demon Valley, sandwiched between two great demon mountains, wasn't having an easy time either. If they could bring down one of them and change the name of the Seven Great Demon Mountains, just thinking about it would be exhilarating. But now…
Before Qiong Ming, who had been lost in thought for a moment, could defend himself, Huo Xie Fei, whose anger had subsided by half, sighed and said, "What do you take Qiling Mountain for? That Yu Ziyuan is just one of the Six Palace Immortals, and he's already playing you for fools. And then there's Li Yi, Shu Huixin, and the like, and I haven't even mentioned the demon master inside..."
"Back in Fox Mountain, at least everyone there was a demon, and they would reason with you and not go too far. But would those demon masters in Qiling Mountain reason with you?"
Suddenly, a soft footstep sound came from outside. Fire Scorpion Queen looked up abruptly with a dark expression. "Candlelight, aren't you going to stand guard outside? Are you sneaking around and want to get beaten up?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ye almost knelt down, and hurriedly said through the door, "No! It's Xiang Xiang who's here."
Having said that, Zhu Ye, fearing that he would be caught by the Fire Scorpion Consort, ran away in a flash.
"Xiangxiang?!" Huo Xiefei pushed open the door and saw the person standing outside. Her expression changed immediately, and she looked somewhat embarrassed.
Could it be that Xiao Xiangxiang overheard everything she just said? That brat Zhuye didn't even bother to warn me beforehand.
But Ren Xiangxiang's mind was not on this at all. She hadn't listened to a single word of the Fire Scorpion Consort's angry scolding.
At this moment, after glancing past the Fire Scorpion Consort, one could see that Qiong Ming had stood up shakily inside the room, secretly rubbing his knees. It seemed she really had arrived at the worst possible time...
"What are you doing standing outside? Come inside and talk!" Huo Xiefei, having changed her previous irritability, immediately invited Ren Xiangxiang and Mo You into the house.
Because Qiongming took advantage of the chaos at Fox Mountain to enter, he was not unfamiliar with Moyou. The two met briefly but said nothing to each other.
"Are you here to see Grass Child? By the way, what's the situation at Qiling Mountain? Do you need my help?"
