Chapter 183: Methods to Restrain Shi Haojun

At this moment, under the city walls of Black Stone City.

One head after another was thrown down from the city walls. Heads fell in large swaths, hitting the ground like raindrops, and soon piled up into several small mounds.

Yan Pojun stood on the city walls and shouted loudly at the black shadow in the distance: "Shi Haojun! We have killed everyone from Black Moon City in the city, leaving no one behind!"

"You should be able to hear my inner voice and know that I am not lying."

"Now all your enemies have been eliminated. For the sake of your clansmen in the city, and for the sake of my friend, can you spare Black Stone City?"

However, the black shadow in the distance just stood there quietly, motionless, and said nothing.

Shi Haojun stared blankly at a certain location in the city, a look of nostalgia appearing in his eyes, as if he were recalling something, with no intention of replying at all.

Seeing this, Yan Pojun's heart sank.

Sure enough, killing everyone from Black Moon City could not make him retreat.

Although he had already anticipated this and was mentally prepared for this result.

But the failure of this only plan that still had some hope made his face look ugly.

"Are you really that heartless? Must you slaughter Black Stone City?"

"There are so many other cities nearby; go slaughter those cities!"

"You also know that capturing Black Stone City will waste a lot of your time. Why must you gnaw on this hardest bone?"

Yan Pojun rested his hands on the city walls and continued to shout loudly, unwilling to give up.

He was as insidious as ever, actually intending to make Shi Haojun divert his attention and go slaughter other cities.

Shi Haojun's mouth slowly curled up at this time, and he finally said: "The hardest bone? That might not be the case."

As soon as his voice fell, a group of corpses on the ground suddenly stood up shakily, looked at the direction of Black Stone City with ferocious eyes, and let out roars that did not sound human.

Seeing this scene, Yan Pojun's scalp completely exploded.

A pile of Gu Kings had died outside today, and now all those dead Gu Kings had turned into plague corpses.

Yan Pojun felt completely numb at this moment.

Good heavens, there was another large group of Gu King-level plague corpses. This was simply fatal.

They couldn't beat Shi Haojun before, and now the number of Gu Kings in the city had plummeted again, while Shi Haojun had gained a large batch of Gu King helpers, making it even more impossible to win.

How could this plague demon Gu be so outrageously strong? Was there no limit to the number of things it could control?

Yan Pojun clenched his fists, his face looking ugly to death.

At this moment, in the Long Clan residence, a group of Long Clan geniuses gathered in a great hall.

There were about fifty people, all the most outstanding geniuses of the Long Clan.

The first batch of the Long Clan preparing to transfer were the geniuses with the best talent in the clan. They were the future hope of the clan and could not afford to lose even one. For the sake of safety, they had to leave tonight.

The group of geniuses whispered to each other, not knowing why the family head had called them here.

Only Long Ruoxue and Long Biao, two geniuses, knew the secret of the space hut.

The space hut had only been placed here for a short time and had been kept strictly secret by the family's high-level officials. Besides the two of them, the other geniuses didn't know that this straw Gu hut in the center of the hall possessed the ability to teleport living people.

When Long Ruoxue saw this hall, she already knew the intention of the family calling them over, and her heart sank.

Clearly, she realized that the situation in the city had reached the extreme, and the family was already making the worst plans.

Contrary to her expression, Long Biao's face was full of joy at this moment, wishing he could rush in now and then transfer away immediately.

He couldn't control his mouth. Knowing that the family was not prepared to hide the secret of the space hut from this group of geniuses, he couldn't wait to tell the other geniuses the secret that this space hut could teleport people.

The other geniuses finally knew the intention of the family calling them to this hall.

Long Dan's eyes lit up immediately. Just a moment ago, he had been very pessimistic about the situation of Black Stone City and felt despair, but he didn't expect that there would be a turn for the better, and he still had hope of living. He immediately clenched his fists in excitement.

Long Xuan had already been mentally prepared, so his mood was calm. He walked to Long Dan's side and said: "Brother Dan, when we arrive at the Far West Long Clan, we will be brothers. Can you tell me how to restrain that Shi Haojun?"

Long Xuan shamelessly leaned over. He was too wary of Shi Haojun's abilities, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask Long Dan about methods to restrain Shi Haojun.

Long Dan looked at him, knowing that he was a genius on par with himself and highly valued by the family, so he put away his arrogance and answered readily: "My realm is too low, and I can't see much."

"I only know that the method to restrain the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart is to think of nothing. He won't be able to eavesdrop on things you haven't thought about."

"Or, your soul power must be stronger than his, which can make you immune to his ability to eavesdrop on inner voices, but for you, this is absolutely impossible."

"There are many methods to restrain the plague demon Gu, but what can be called a natural nemesis is likely the lightning tribulation that can restrain all demon-system Gu worms, as well as purification Gu. Domains related to poison and fire might also work."

"In the Western Lands, there is almost nothing that can restrain him; at most, it's a minor restraint. If Yan Pojun hadn't self-detonated three spirit fires today to kill the vast majority of microorganisms and plague corpses in the air, all the Gu Kings in the city would have fallen in that battle."

"I can clearly tell you that if you can't find something to restrain him, then Shi Haojun is unkillable. No matter how many people come, it's useless."

"Only by finding a method to restrain him is there hope of killing him." Long Dan looked at Long Xuan with an extremely heavy expression, his tone full of wariness.

"As for his other dozen or so top-grade Gu worms made of ten-thousand-level materials, I won't go into detail about the methods to restrain them."

"Because as long as you don't have the means to restrain the plague demon Gu and the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, then even if you know the methods to restrain those dozen or so top-grade Gu worms, it's useless." Long Dan looked at him deeply.

Long Xuan nodded, completely keeping these words in his heart.

"Now it depends on whether the Gu Imperial City can come up with the means to restrain Shi Haojun. If the Gu Imperial City has those things I mentioned, and more than one kind."

"Then if Black Stone City drags it out for a while longer, the crisis of the city's destruction can be resolved, and it's even possible for Shi Haojun to be eliminated."

"Conversely, if the Gu Imperial City cannot come up with the means to restrain Shi Haojun, then the trouble will be big."

"Not only will Black Stone City be destroyed, but the entire Western Lands and even the entire Gu World will be plunged into misery."

"Rest assured! The Gu Imperial City has the means to restrain Shi Haojun. Black Stone City will not fall." Long Yuanshan walked into the hall at this time, and after hearing the conversation between the two, he immediately said.

Seeing the family head walk in, the crowd instantly quieted down, and no one spoke again.

"I'm not leaving? At the moment of the clan's life and death, how can I abandon my clansmen and run first? I want to stay and swear to live and die with the family!"

Long Ruoxue raised her head and shouted stubbornly.

Although Long Dan wanted to flee here immediately, seeing her say so, as the leader of the family's geniuses, it wouldn't look good if he didn't express his stance, so he had to bite the bullet and shout: "I'm not leaving either!"

"I want to fight side by side with the family. If the clan dies, I die. I, Long Dan, will never live by being cowardly."

Seeing the two leading geniuses of the family speak, the other geniuses also echoed: "I'm not leaving either."

"I'm not leaving either!"

"We want to live and die with the family!"

Long Yuanshan's temples throbbed, and he roared: "Nonsense! What's the use of you staying here! Don't make senseless sacrifices."

"Everyone must leave today! Those who disobey will be dealt with according to clan rules!"

"I still have many things to deal with today, and I don't have time to dawdle with you. Who is going first!"

After Long Yuanshan finished speaking, the whole place was silent. No one stood out. No one dared to be the first to stand out; otherwise, wouldn't it mean that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, and would be looked down upon by others?

So although most people were anxious to leave in their hearts, they didn't dare to take a step, such as Long Biao, who was anxious to death at this moment, fearing that the city would break in the next moment and it would be too late to run, but seeing that no one moved, he could only stand there reluctantly.

But Long Xuan was not hypocritical at all. His face was thick enough, and he was not afraid of being mocked by others for being afraid of death.

"I'll go!"

Long Xuan said, forcibly dragging Long Ziyan out of the crowd, and then couldn't wait to walk toward the space hut that looked like a dog kennel.

After all, they were not geniuses of the Western Lands Long Clan, so it wouldn't be looked down upon if they left first.

With them leading the way, the deadlock was broken, and Long Yuanshan didn't need to waste any more breath.

Long Xuan first pushed Long Ziyan into the space hut. The straw Gu inside stretched out thin threads to entangle her and dragged her to the deepest part of the space hut. Then this living person disappeared into thin air inside, and everyone watched in amazement.

Immediately after, it was Long Xuan. After Long Ziyan disappeared, not long after, the straw Gu appeared again. Long Xuan decisively drilled into it, not caring at all about the dog kennel he had once mocked.

When the straw Gu's threads entangled him, Long Xuan's mouth showed a smile. After being out for so long, he could finally go home. He missed his home at this moment, started missing his great medicine garden, and the bees in the medicine garden, the pavilion, various wines and teas, eggs...

He only felt a blur before his eyes, and he appeared in a gray world.

This world had nothing, like a chaotic state, a void, the whole world was gray, with a single color.

He curiously looked at this world called the Void Realm, but he hadn't looked for long before the straw Gu flew through it quickly. In less than a moment, his vision blurred, and he found himself appearing in another dog kennel.

Before he could come back to his senses, a pair of big hands reached in and dragged him out directly.

Long Xuan only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and he appeared in another great hall.

In front of him were the high-level officials of the Far West Long Clan, all smiling and looking at him.

The high-level officials of the Far West Long Clan were all there. They had come out collectively to welcome the return of the geniuses.

"Welcome our geniuses home!"
