Chapter 290

Gu Tianyi's gaze was happy, but it quickly faded.

"Very good. As long as that Cai Shao is dragged down, he won't have time to compete with me for the Gu God Alms Bowl."

"I only need to use the Dinghai Pill to break through to the Spirit Sea stage in a short time. Breaking the treasure-protecting barrier will be easy. At that time, the Gu God Alms Bowl will be in my pocket!"

Gu Tianyi clenched his fists and looked burning with desire toward the center of the Divine Mechanism City.

The Nine Prince looked at him and sighed: "Breaking through is forbidden in the Heavenly Island ruins, but some forbidden arts are allowed to obtain the power of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators in a short time."

"But one can imagine what kind of side effects a forbidden art that can make people possess the power of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators in a short time has."

"Once you take the Dinghai Pill, you will be completely crippled. Even if you successfully survive, you will have at most one year to live."

"The injuries left by the Dinghai Pill are irreversible. You shouldn't think about surviving no matter what kind of spiritual pills or medicines you use."

Gu Tianyi withdrew his gaze from the city, his expression revealing a look of madness: "How could I not know the logic you speak of?"

"But there's no way. Whether it's the Gu God Alms Bowl or the Golden Toad, since they weren't taken away by anyone when the Heavenly Island ruins opened last time, it can only explain one thing."

"The barrier guarding these two treasures is simply too strong, strong to the point that it's simply not something the power of Essence Refining stage Gu cultivators can break through."

"Every time the Heavenly Island ruins appear, are there few genius monsters entering the Heavenly Island? The barrier that so many genius monsters couldn't shake, how could it be something I can break through?"

"I can only take forbidden medicine and rely on the power of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators to forcibly take the treasure. I have no other choice."

"You also know that the Gu God Alms Bowl is a Gu refining artifact. Using the Gu God Alms Bowl to refine Gu can increase the Gu refining success rate by three times. Its effect is simply too heaven-defying. This is a treasure my Gu Spirit Sect must obtain at all costs."

"To tell you the truth, a long time ago, the Gu God Alms Bowl was the sect-protecting treasure of my Gu Spirit Sect. It's just that it was taken to the Heavenly Island ruins by a genius and was completely lost. My Gu Spirit Sect has never given up on searching for the Gu God Alms Bowl."

"I have a difficult task from the sect this time. As long as I can retrieve the sect's sect-protecting treasure, then I have performed a great service."

"Retrieving the sect-protecting treasure for the sect is an unparalleled merit, enough to be rewarded with massive amounts of treasures by the sect."

"The treasures are enough to make up for my losses." Gu Tianyi clenched his fists, his eyes very excited.

"After you take the Dinghai Pill, you will be crippled. What's the use of taking more treasures? Looking at your character, it's absolutely impossible for you to do any righteous deeds."

"Gu cultivators are all selfish people. It's absolutely impossible for you to sacrifice yourself for the sect's interests. You should have some way to completely avoid the side effects of the Dinghai Pill, right?"

The Nine Prince looked at him with a suspicious expression.

The Dinghai Pill is a unique pill formula of the Qian Clan. No one in the outside world has it. No one knows the Dinghai Pill better than his Qian Clan.

Could it be that the side effect problem that even his own family couldn't solve has been found a solution to by the Gu Spirit Sect?

If the side effects of the Dinghai Pill could be perfectly solved, then everyone would be a Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivator. This is simply too heaven-defying. This question must be asked clearly.

Gu Tianyi curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold, sinister smile: "Isn't this simple? Those with powerful souls can possess others to complete rebirth, but everyone only has one chance to possess."

"I have one chance to possess now. My younger brother has a much higher aptitude than me and is a Heavenly Spirit Body. His spiritual power can grow automatically, and his progress is rapid. He is the pet of this world, and there will definitely be a place for him in the forest of the world's strong in the future."

"This body is much better than mine, and we are biological brothers. There is no need to consider the compatibility of possession at all. This is my most perfect vessel."

"After I get the massive rewards from the sect, I will cultivate with this body. At that time, I will soar into the sky, and this world will not be able to trap me!"

"By the way, his sect's number one beauty fiancée will also be mine." Gu Tianyi revealed a sinister smile.

The Nine Prince was shocked, and his gaze toward him began to become unnatural.

He had seen bad people, but this was the first time he had seen someone so bad. This person was simply rotten to the core, actually even targeting his own younger brother and sister-in-law. Was this still a human?

"I heard you also have a younger sister who is peerless in beauty, who has been missing for a long time. Could it be that you were the one who played tricks?"

The Nine Prince looked at him meaningfully, his gaze chilling.

Gu Tianyi looked at him and smiled: "You have an Honesty Gu, so it's useless for me to tell lies. She was indeed killed by me and used by me to refine Gu."

"The Gu refining method of that Gu is to refine Gu with blood relatives. I had no other choice."

"I think you won't tell this secret to others, right? After all, I also know the secret of you harming your third brother."

"We are both the same. You don't need to look at me with that kind of gaze. We are both the same kind of people."

Gu Tianyi curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful expression.

The Nine Prince's face became uncertain. If possible, he really wanted to kill this person right now. This person was simply a poisonous snake.

He acted simply without any scruples, even killing his own younger brother and sister. What else was there that he couldn't do?

Cooperating with him was simply asking for trouble, with endless future troubles.

Gu Tianyi looked at him playfully and said: "You are cunning. Among all the candidates for the head of the Qian Clan, you are the weakest, only slightly stronger than that Qian Jinjin."

"No matter how you look at it, the position of family head won't fall to you. No one would think you would be the first to take action."

"Once something happens to the third young master, the object of his suspicion will definitely be the eldest young master and the second young master. He will never suspect you, the weakest one."

"With the third young master's temper, he will definitely take action against the first two. At that time, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, sitting back and reaping the benefits."

"It's a pity that you calculated everything but didn't calculate that my other younger brother was also near the battlefield. Because something happened, I went to find him at the first opportunity, and that's how I accidentally ran into your conspiracy."

"The sect originally wanted to cooperate with the third young master using the secret of the Golden Toad, but now it can only turn to cooperate with you."

"Speaking of which, the person who killed my younger brother should have also obtained that letter and learned some secrets about the Heavenly Island. He will also likely come to the Heavenly Island."

"A little later, whoever dares to walk toward the hiding place of the Golden Toad is basically the person who killed my younger brother."

"You also prepare to head to the hiding place of the Golden Toad next. After you encounter people on the same road, no matter who it is, just handle them for me."

"Although my family affection is thin, my younger brother is not someone anyone can kill if they want to." A faint killing intent flashed in Gu Tianyi's eyes.

The Nine Prince looked at him with an ugly expression. The deal was to exchange the hiding place of the Golden Toad for a Dinghai Pill, but after arriving here, another condition was added: to drag Cai Shao for him.

He endured it and did it. He didn't expect that this Gu Tianyi would add another condition now, to let him go and kill his enemy. It was endless.

What Qian Clan merchants hate most is people who don't keep their word. This person truly had no integrity to speak of, was fickle, and repeatedly challenged his bottom line.

The Nine Prince took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Why do you find me to do everything! Those are your enemies! Not mine!"

"The person who can kill your younger brother can't be simple. Who knows what his background is and whether he can be provoked?"

"The barrier protecting the Gu God Alms Bowl is something no one can break through. It's the same whether you go early or late. Can't you solve your own enemies first and then go?"

Gu Tianyi shook his head, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled: "No! I have more important things to do."

"I haven't told you all along that the letter lost by our Gu Spirit Sect is not just one."

"The treasure vault of our Gu Spirit Sect was stolen once, and the letter that recorded the information about the Heavenly Island ruins in the most detail was lost."

"This letter happens to have all the information about the Gu God Alms Bowl."

"No one can resist the temptation of the Gu God Alms Bowl."

"We don't know the identity of that thief, but since she knows the whereabouts of the Gu God Alms Bowl, she will definitely head to the Heavenly Island, or send people to head to the Heavenly Island."

"So whoever is on the same road as me must be the faction that stole that letter. I want to kill them all with my own hands."

"Since this group of people can steal the treasures of the Gu Spirit Sect, their combat power definitely isn't simple. It must be handled by me personally."

"If things go wrong, I might need to use the power of Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators to kill this group of people. I have no time to deal with the person who killed my younger brother, so I can only entrust it to you."

"I guarantee this is the last time I trouble you. I swear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Nine Prince took out an Honesty Gu whose eyes were glowing from his insect breeding bag. The atmosphere at the scene was awkward...

At the same time, on the other side.

"What? Let me deal with one of the puppet generals? Then I'm taking such a big risk, what's the benefit?"

Long Xuan looked at this clone of the Nine Prince and sighed in his heart. This was the disadvantage of being too famous. The capable do more work. This deadly task of dealing with a puppet general had finally fallen on him.

If he were still as unknown as before, with no one knowing him, how could such a tricky task fall on him?

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. The ones who die are the tall ones.

The Nine Prince's clone shook his head and said: "What benefit is there? Our two alliance leaders will also each deal with a puppet general. Both alliance leaders are taking the lead, so you have nothing to be unbalanced about."

"And this city-attacking mission is for the strong to deal with gold and silver puppets, while the weak stand in the front row when attacking the city. The death proportion of the two groups should be about the same; there's no question of who takes advantage."

Long Xuan pondered for a moment. The order given by the alliance leader clearly wouldn't allow him to refuse.

Everything has a good side and a bad side. A bad side often has a good side.

If he was responsible for dealing with a puppet general, then he would definitely have to bring one hundred people to surround and attack the puppet general.

His crew members wouldn't be scattered by the alliance leader and arranged in the front row as cannon fodder.

Himself, Di Xin, plus Yang Zhan—taking down a puppet general shouldn't be difficult.

After all, puppets are not on par with Gu cultivators, but on par with the Gu worms on the Gu cultivators. Spirit Sea stage puppets are far inferior to real Spirit Sea stage Gu cultivators.

As a dead object, they are destined to be unable to play against a group of highly intelligent Gu cultivators.

If he took over a puppet general, his crew members wouldn't suffer huge casualties when attacking the city. This task was not impossible to accept.

"Good, I accept this task. One of the puppet generals will be handled by my one hundred people. If I don't go to hell, who goes to hell? I'll sacrifice myself for others once!" Long Xuan said with a righteous appearance.

"Brother is righteous! Then the puppet general on the far right will be your responsibility. I believe in your strength."

Seeing Long Xuan agree, the Nine Prince's clone revealed a smile and finally turned and left...
