When Fu Linglong finished speaking, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
"So it was because you discovered that Gao Hongyuan was raising a demon Gu King that he attacked you?" Su Ruojin deduced the situation at the time.
"You guessed half right. One day I accidentally discovered that he was looking at a bamboo scroll that I had never seen before. When I took the bamboo scroll, I found that it was actually the method for raising a demon king."
I was furious and made him kneel down and apologize to the patriarch, then I destroyed the bamboo slip.
He told me he had just discovered the bamboo slips, and I believed him again, warning him to forget the contents of the book.
Unexpectedly, a year later, Gao Hongyuan actually used a Gu poison on me. When I was lying on the ground, unable to move, he finally told me the truth: the Gu poison I had been afflicted with was the juvenile form of a demonic Gu king.
Fu Linglong's words shocked everyone. She had actually been bitten by the Demon Gu King, which meant...
Judging from Fu Linglong's appearance, she doesn't seem to have lost her mind.
Fu Linglong continued, "Only then did I realize that Gao Hongyuan had already discovered this bamboo slip. When I found it, he had already memorized the method for cultivating the Demon Gu King."
Not only that, he also happened to fall into a cave on Broken Cloud Peak, where he discovered what might be the last nest of the venomous insect Purple Flame Flying Beetle in the world, which could be used to raise the Demon Gu King.
He secretly brought back the Purple Flame Beetles, put them all into the nest of poisonous insects to fight for a hundred days, and then selected the final victorious young Gu King, nourishing it day and night with his own blood.
The cultivation of a Demon Gu King is not easy. First, one must find a Purple Flame Beetle or a similar poisonous insect, select a Gu King, and then nourish it day and night with one's own blood for a year. Finally, it must devour the flesh and blood of a Gu Master to grow into its second stage.
Upon hearing the name "Purple Flame Beetle," Su Ruojin didn't know exactly what it was, but she thought of the volcanic rock toad in the Shenyu Mountain cave. Indeed, there were many unknown creatures in this world.
Everyone understood that Gao Hongyuan used a Gu poison on Fu Linglong not only because she discovered that he was raising a demon Gu King, but also because he needed the demon Gu King to devour Fu Linglong's flesh and blood to advance its level.
After all, at that time, apart from Fu Linglong, Gao Hongyuan couldn't find another Gu Master in the world for a while.
Moreover, once Fu Linglong dies, no one will know that Gao Hongyuan was raising a demonic Gu King that could destroy the Nine Provinces, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Then why did Gao Hongyuan let the senior go back then?" Su Ruojin was a little puzzled. Could it be that Gao Hongyuan took into account the relationship between master and disciple and left Fu Linglong a way out?
“Because he couldn’t kill me back then!” Fu Linglong said, her eyes flashing with cold anger.
"He nourished the Demon Gu King with his blood, making his body very weak. If the master is weak, the Demon Gu King will also become weak, let alone a mere juvenile Gu. Just as he was about to let the juvenile Gu completely devour me and kill me, Cang Lei arrived."
The Azure Thunder was no ordinary poisonous insect, but a giant python about to transform into a dragon.
If the Demon Gu King has already been fully developed, even Cang Lei would not be its match. But if it is just a young Gu, Cang Lei can fight it.
Moreover, the young Gu had devoured my flesh and blood and was at a critical moment when it needed to digest it.
If Gao Hongyuan were to let the young Gu confront Cang Lei at this moment, he might be able to kill me, but he would also most likely lose this young Gu, and then he would never be able to raise another Demon Gu King in his lifetime.
In the end, he chose to leave, leaving me to fend for myself.
Su Ruojin and the others knew what happened next. It was at that time that the master appeared and saved Fu Linglong's life. It seems that the herbs that sustained Fu Linglong's life were also found for her by Cang Lei.
"Senior Fu, since you knew that Gao Hongyuan possessed a young Demon Gu King that would wreak havoc on the world once it took shape, why didn't you go to find Gao Hongyuan later?"
Although it was somewhat impolite for Xiao Yanchu to ask this question, he needed to know the truth in order to deal with everything.
