Fu Linglong's Gu techniques are definitely stronger than Gao Hongyuan's. Normally, she would find Gao Hongyuan to clean house after such a treacherous person has appeared in the pavilion.
Fu Linglong gave a bitter smile. "No, because Gao Hongyuan secretly raised a demon Gu King behind my back."
Demon King?
What does this have to do with whether she looks for Gao Hongyuan or not?
Seeing everyone's confused looks, Fu Linglong explained, "The Demon Gu King is a secret Gu technique passed down from an ancient book in the Star Gu Pavilion. It is extremely difficult to cultivate this Gu. In all the generations of the Star Gu Pavilion, only the third generation Pavilion Master has ever cultivated it."
When the Demon King of Gu was born, the world was thrown into turmoil. According to ancient records, it was because of that Demon King of Gu that four out of ten people in the entire Nine Provinces died.
Later, the remaining nations of the Nine Provinces put aside all prejudices and united the strength of the entire continent, including the righteous members of the Star Gu Pavilion, to ultimately destroy the third-generation Pavilion Master and the Demon Gu King. By this time, the population of the Nine Provinces continent was less than half of what it had been before.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruojin and the others gasped. Even though the population of the Nine Provinces was not as large as it is now, it was still considerable, totaling nearly ten million.
How could a single demon king wipe out more than half the population of the Nine Provinces? What kind of terrifying being is this?
"Senior Fu, this Demon Gu King is nothing more than a Gu worm, so why is it so powerful?" Su Ruojin asked the question that had been on her mind.
Even the most powerful Gu worm is still just a Gu worm. If all else fails, why not just kill the Gu worm's owner?
"It is indeed just a Gu worm, but once it matures, it will hatch a child Gu from its body. This child Gu will quickly absorb the vital energy of whoever it possesses."
It then causes people to completely lose their minds, turning them into monsters that have no sense of pain and only know how to bite, and their attack power is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
The offspring worms will hatch new worms on the possessed person. In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the new offspring worms will mature and can then attach themselves to other people. All those bitten by the offspring worms will be controlled by the Demon Gu King.
Su Ruojin instantly understood that the damage caused by this Gu worm was very similar to the zombie virus of later generations.
In her previous life, she had read in history books that in the 26th century, a scientist had accidentally discovered a virus that could cause people to lose consciousness, become insane, and bite anyone they saw. Those bitten would also quickly become infected with the virus.
Fortunately, technology had advanced by then, and the situation was quickly quelled by firearms. A vaccine was also developed, which completely eradicated the virus.
But that would only be possible in a future with highly advanced technology.
In this dynasty, without firearms, it wouldn't be surprising if such a virus outbreak wiped out most of the population of the Nine Provinces.
Its terrifying aspect lies in the fact that those who have been possessed and bitten by the Gu are controlled by the Gu King, which is also indirectly equivalent to being controlled by the Gu keeper. The Gu keeper only needs to hide in a secret place to control everything.
The more people are bitten, the more the Gu master has an army that is not afraid of dying!
"Wasn't this terrifying Gu technique destroyed back then?" Xiao Yanchu asked.
Logically speaking, since this witchcraft has caused such a great disaster, it should be destroyed.
Fu Linglong sighed, "The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in this world."
The new Pavilion Master did indeed destroy the method of raising the demon Gu King, but who would have thought that the third Pavilion Master had a nine-year-old apprentice who, after witnessing everything, not only felt no fear but also developed a sense of reverence for his master.
He secretly recorded this Gu technique and studied it in secret, hoping to dominate the Nine Provinces like the third generation of the Pavilion Master.
Fortunately, raising a Demon Gu King is not an easy task; the primordial Gu-refining worms required are not ordinary poisonous insects.
Some poisonous insects that could be refined into Demon Gu Kings have even become extinct, and he ultimately failed to succeed.
Later, when no one was looking, he recorded this Gu technique and some past events, and hid them in a secret corner of the Star Gu Pavilion's ancestral library, hoping that a destined person in the future could recreate the 'glory' of the third generation pavilion master.
He hid himself very well, and no one discovered him for thousands of years, until I brought Gao Hongyuan to the Star Gu Pavilion's library.
