Chapter 410: Heart's Eye

Don't let his soul infant escape!

Heavenly Corpse Gu shouted urgently.

Without him speaking, Yunhe's eyes already shot out five-colored splendid light, drawing in all the black divine sense threads that flew out like silk being drawn from a cocoon from Lingya's body.

Inverted Five Elements, Gathering Spirit Divine Light!

This is also one of the reasons why Heavenly Corpse Gu invited Yunhe to come together.

The Abyss Tribe's 'Soul Infant Silk Thread' escape technique has an escape capability on par with the Yuan Infant escape method of human Yuan Ying Cultivators.

The only difference is that Yuan Infant escape has a physical form but is extremely fast, involving spatial instantaneous movement, whereas Soul Infant escape has no physical form; turning into countless silk threads makes it even harder to capture. Without strong divine sense or the corresponding secret art, it is nearly impossible to intercept.

Coincidentally, when it comes to dealing with Soul Infant escape, Yunhe is more confident.

Soon, the myriad divine sense threads scattering like countless silk were gathered by Yunhe.

But emitting the divine light was only part of Yunhe's action; he did not immediately deal with the gathered Lingya soul infant, and at the same time he wielded his sword to surround Lingya's corpse.

Countless gu insects almost simultaneously hissed, from Heavenly Corpse Gu's now Hua Lin's body like black mist, covering and wrapping Lingya.

But if he leaves, he has a hundred percent confidence.

Pa!

Meanwhile, Yunhe reached out and grabbed a piece of black animal tablet, which is the Abyss Tribe's storage container.

"That Abyss Tribe corpse will be given to you, Brother Gu; this is exactly what you need. Since we are cooperating, we naturally should split the loot—oh, no, distribute evenly. Brother Gu, why glare at me with a cannibal's gaze?" Yunhe flipped the animal tablet in his hand and put it away.

You!

This is the Heavenly Corpse Gu as he knows him.

Zila!

Speaking frankly.

And before him.

However, their moves were quick, and the ending was even quicker.

"But Junior Brother, do you still want the Black Crystal Divine Plant?" Heavenly Corpse Gu asked again.

The black mist formed from a large number of gu insects had barely been released before it was drawn back into Heavenly Corpse Gu's body.

Furthermore.

Lingya's corpse had already vanished.

This is truly one of his real purposes for this trip!

Because at this moment he discovered that the Abyss beast's bones in the prison cage were missing!

Just now his attention was completely on Lingya's body; he didn't notice that side at all, and he didn't even know when Yunhe took away that Abyss beast's bones.

However, just as he was speaking halfway, he suddenly froze.

However, in less than half a breath, his expression also softened, revealing a smile, and he slowly said:

"Junior Brother, what are you saying? How could an elder brother attack his junior brother?"

Heavenly Corpse Gu's eyes were about to burst.

It is also something he must obtain!

Just a second ago, the two were cooperating tacitly; the next moment they vied to act, neither willing to yield.

His earlier judgment was correct; Lingya's corpse was too close to Heavenly Corpse Gu, and trying to snatch it was like taking food from a tiger's mouth—too difficult.

Corpse qi surged around him, and the rather disheveled Heavenly Capital Gu Corpse also came to his side.

Seeing this, Yunhe's smile gradually faded, and the mana within his body began to surge; five Five Elements Thunder Swords circled around his body, continuously rotating, while also bursting forth with brilliant golden arcs.

Got it!

After all, it was his prior arrangements and the distance from Lingya's corpse that gave him sufficient advantage, and he ultimately obtained Lingya's corpse.

But considering his own condition, he still had to force a smile and say:

"Lingya's corpse belongs to me, his belongings to my junior brother; this distribution is very"—

A large number of Heavenly Corpse Gu's offspring gu were struck down by the heavenly thunder; Heavenly Corpse Gu's body, already weakened from casting the 'Gu Pattern,' trembled again, his complexion turned even paler, even revealing a strong aura of death.

Zi zi zi—

"How? Brother Gu, do you want to have a go with me?"

The heavenly thunder power flickered.

Heavenly Corpse Gu stared fixedly at Yunhe.

Yunhe laughed.

However, Heavenly Corpse Gu's movements were even faster.

Feeling what he had obtained, Heavenly Corpse Gu's pallid face showed a triumphant smile.

Seeing what Yunhe held in his hand, Heavenly Corpse Gu's face sank.

His purpose in telling Yunhe not to let Lingya's soul infant escape was to buy himself more time.

At this moment, the formation he had set up at the entrance of the passage gave him a great advantage.

Furthermore, earlier Yunhe tried to force him to reveal his trump card, causing Lingya to attack him, which also gave him a greater opportunity.

Therefore, his attempt to seize was merely a feint; his true target all along was the corpse of the fifth-rank Abyss beast, and as for Lingya's storage animal tablet, it could only be considered an unexpected bonus.

On Lingya's corpse, Heavenly Corpse Gu had already planted gu insects; he had no confidence he could completely remove them, so taking it would naturally be unsettling; it would be better to set his sights on something easier to obtain and more advantageous.

Even the current Heavenly Corpse Gu in this state, Yunhe had no confidence to take him down.

But he still stared fixedly at Lingya's corpse.

"Naturally, it is needed."

Yunhe lightly rubbed the sword blade, feeling its sharpness, and simply said:

"According to the agreement, the Black Crystal Divine Plant and the method for advancing gu insects, elder brother can give you all, but you need to give me... not much, that corpse, give me an arm segment and it will suffice."

Heaven Corpse Gu walked to the side of the 'Heaven Capital Corpse Gu'.

To him, whether it was the Antelope Fang or that Abyssal Beast carcass, both were his targets.

"How?"

Yunhe, however, shook his head, "This is not within the scope of our 'cooperation'; I, Yun, am unable to do it."

Give Heaven Corpse Gu a section of the Abyssal Beast carcass, so that the Antelope Fang becomes stronger?

Such a fostering act, Yunhe will not do.

Anyway, he is now invincible; at most he cannot obtain the method to use the 'Black Crystal Divine Stalk'.

Although it's a bit regrettable, as long as he can condense the 'Five Elements Spiritual Body', his deficiency in spiritual roots can only be considered a minor flaw of his own.

Moreover, human history is vast; if he is willing to spend time and pay the price to search, he will surely find some methods.

As for the Gu Worm advancement method, after he visits the 'Heavenly Insect Sect' ruins again, he should gain something.

Saying that, he then walked toward the dark river deep within the prison.

Indeed, in that surging dark river, he found a spiritual plant emitting a strange black glow, no more than a chi tall, with four leaflets like black crystal, clear and bright; its stem and root were no different from ordinary spiritual plants, except its color was dark green, appearing very profound.

Seeing this plant, Yunhe narrowed his eyes and plucked it without hesitation.

Meanwhile, the Heaven Corpse Gu beside him, seeing his oblivious demeanor, became even angrier, his nose crooked.

At the same time, Yunhe's words also filled him with secret resentment.

"If there's nothing else, I, Yun, will take my leave."

Carefully storing the 'Black Crystal Divine Stalk' into his storage bag, Yunhe smiled and bowed to the Heaven Corpse Gu, completely not mentioning what the Heaven Corpse Gu had previously promised.

Having said that, he meanwhile guarded against the Heaven Corpse Gu while slowly walking toward the passage.

The formation he had set up glowed with five-colored light, shining on his face, outlining a smile.

Heaven Corpse Gu stared at Yunhe slowly departing, rooted in place, hesitating for a long time; only when Yunhe reached the formation did he suddenly exhale, giving up the idea of confronting Yunhe here.

And Yunhe entered his own formation without any hindrance.

Only then did he consider himself safe.

Yunhe also secretly let out a breath of relief.

"Junior brother, you actually opened the formation; how am I, the elder brother, supposed to leave?!"

Watching Yunhe disappear into the formation, Heaven Corpse Gu finally reacted and shouted hastily.

From afar, Yunhe's laughter came: "Senior Gu, your secret art is profound; how could a mere formation stop you? Break it yourself!"

"You!"

Heaven Corpse Gu was furious.

He had seen people break bridges after crossing rivers, but never such a brazen act of breaking bridges after crossing.

If later Yunhe goes out and shouts to those few Abyssal Tribe members of Sangwu, "Heaven Corpse Gu slaughtered the Antelope Fang," wouldn't he be trapped inside?

Even if he breaks the formation, it would still be difficult to leave.

Having reached this thought, Heaven Corpse Gu suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and flung out a Jade Slip.

"This is the method of using the 'Black Crystal Divine Stalk,' as well as the Gu Worm's advancement secret art!"

Yunhe, standing in the formation, had been waiting for this; he raised his hand to catch it, then laughed, "Thank you!"

"Formation!" Heaven Corpse Gu said through gritted teeth.

"After a hundred breaths, the formation will dissipate on its own."

Yunhe's voice gradually faded away.

"Damn it!"

Heaven Corpse Gu cursed angrily.

When Yunhe walked away, the anger on his face suddenly vanished.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Do you really think this Gu doesn't know that the Abyssal Beast's skull is in your hand?"

What should be obtained has been obtained; what should be sent out has been sent out.

The 'guidance' that should be done has also been done.

In his view, this outing has already been fully accomplished.

The only regret might be that he failed to take a portion of that Abyssal Beast carcass in time.

"However, the Antelope Fang has eaten plenty; that should be enough."

"I just don't know if this person will fall for the Dao."

Heaven Corpse Gu shook his head.

"This person's level of cleverness... sigh."

"Forget it; even if seen through, it's still an open scheme."

"Heaven Corpse Gu's words cannot be disbelieved, but also cannot be fully trusted."

Yunhe, flying through the passage, rubbed the Jade Slip in his hand.

The reason he acted indifferent to whether Heaven Corpse Gu gave it or not is because even if Heaven Corpse Gu gave it, he wouldn't fully trust it, especially the Gu Worm's advancement method.

"The usage method of the 'Black Crystal Divine Stalk' should be fine, but it also needs verification. As for the Gu Worm's advancement method, heh."

He put the Jade Slip back into his storage bag.

Upon obtaining it, he had already skimmed it; the main point of the Gu Worm's advancement method is still needing to enter the 'Heavenly Insect Sect' ruins, making it hard for him not to suspect that Heaven Corpse Gu gave him this to lure him into the 'Heavenly Insect Sect' ruins.

"Guide me there?"

But even so, he still has to go to the 'Heavenly Insect Sect' ruins.

After all, he must find the follow-up cultivation method of the 'Myriad Gu Myriad Insects Secret'.

"And there is that abyssal beast corpse."

Yunhe narrowed his eyes, secretly pondering in his heart.

"From the fact that he showed up right after I killed Xiao Wuxian, he might not have been unaware that the skull was in my hand, yet he still watched me leave,"

"Although there is indeed the reason that he couldn't stop me, we cannot rule out that he lured me here just to give me this corpse."

"Forget it."

Yunhe's mouth corners slightly rose.

"Even if you scheme a thousand ways, you couldn't have calculated that this corpse would appear in the Yao Shou Shijie, right?"

With this method, he need not fear whatever backup the Heavenly Corpse Gu has arranged.

Having thought this far, Yunhe secretly sighed.

"The more I interact with this guy, the more I feel that this Gu has many schemes and deep plans; upon careful reflection, everything seems problematic, and even things that seemed fine become problematic."

Little did he know.

Actually, the Heavenly Corpse Gu had a feeling similar to his.

The more one interacts with Yunhe, the more one feels that Yunhe is hard to deal with.
