Chapter 332: Come on, let's set a price—who knows, I might just beat you

I'm telling you, let us go!

Fine, fine, fine.

Lu Yuan nodded.

Do you keep your word?

Do you have a choice?

The man in black...

That makes sense, does he seem like he has a choice?

Obviously not.

The base is...

Can't say, Elder Heiqi!

Heiqi... he wants to live! Whether he speaks or not, he just wants to live!

I get it, you don't want to say? Then, bye-bye.

As Lu Yuan finished speaking, he lightly flicked his finger, a clump of white qi shot out, forcibly striking the waists and backs of the three.

With a splashing sound, they fell straight to the ground.

Viscous black liquid spurted out, splashing onto the already black‑tainted ground.

It emitted a 'sizzle‑sizzle' sound.

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Fine, fine, fine, should I say it? You're giving me a headache.

Right, Gu Lie, you came just in time, clean this place up—at least make it look like you slaughtered them.

Gu Lie...

Isn't that unnecessary?

This clearly looks like they were slaughtered to death.

No matter how you look at it, it's extremely brutal.

Seeming to notice Gu Lie's reluctance, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, his voice lazy and amused.

Tsk tsk tsk, if you don't talk, I'm the sort who puts up little ads.

Gu Lie???

The soldiers behind???

Tattle?

Good grief, Lu Yuan is basically saying it outright, right?

Say outright that he's in cahoots with the prince?

Does this need to be spelled out?

Seems not necessary.

The others exchanged glances.

Only Gu Lie looked tense.

Even his breath was disordered; I have to say, he's truly speechless—just do it if you're going to, why threaten him directly?

This scene is clearly a solo kill, you're directly pushing the blame onto him… wait?

He seems unable to beat them, oh well.

Gu Lie thought.

Helplessly shaking his head: 'Alright, alright, I know, I'll go do it.'

Gu Lie: If I don't do it, won't you tell my older sister? Let my older sister give me a loving beating.

He got a response.

Lu Yuan left the place.

The wind gently swayed, moving his hair and stirring ripples.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yuan left only an afterimage, staying where he was.

Everyone???

Such strong ability, if he goes out, he'll surely catch the enemy off guard.

Good grief, Lu Yuan isn't just going out?

Awesome.

Lu Yuan: This is my charm.

I don't even know where Lu Yuan went.

Inside the sect, Su Liyan leaned against Gu Qingwan, her hand kneading a white handkerchief embroidered with red flowers.

The flowers were extremely bewitching, at a glance not made from ordinary pigment.

Gu Qingwan remained silent, she held a pen, her fingers constantly sketching on the paper.

A flower very similar to the one on the handkerchief appeared before Su Liyan.

Su Liyan opened her mouth wide, a gasp of surprise echoed in her ears and mind.

The noise made Gu Qingwan furrow her brows.

Alright, alright, I was just doodling casually.

Just casual drawing yields such beauty, Elder Sister Gu truly has extraordinary talent.

Su Liyan moved closer again, her head rubbing against Gu Qingwan's face.

That intimate manner was like seasoning.

Of course, this is not just this feeling.

Just as the two were being intimate.

The sound of someone pushing the door came from the entrance, and soon several elders and generals hurried over.

Su Liyan!

Gu Qingwan?

Su Liyan immediately jumped away from Gu Qingwan's side and sat farther off, moving so quickly it was almost like a blink.

Of course, those several elders and generals still caught some.

They looked at each other.

Their expressions changed from confusion to doubt.

The sect and the Great Zhou Dynasty have nothing to do with each other, right?

No matter how you say it, they don't seem like two people who are related.

How could they be so intimate? Could it be an illusion?

But others shouldn't have misseen it either.

Em, but seeing Su Liyan and Gu Qingwan's calm demeanor, it doesn't seem so.

Could it really be an illusion?

Everyone couldn't figure it out, but how could Su Liyan give them a chance to understand?

He lightly tapped the tabletop, his expression cold as he swept his gaze over the few people at the door.

"Come in and knock on the door—hasn't anyone taught you that?"

Everyone…

They suspected Su Liyan was diverting attention, and they had evidence!

"Sorry, we were too hasty; this intelligence came too suddenly."

"Oh? What intelligence? Tell me so I can hear."

Su Liyan raised her eyebrows, looking at the speaker, Li Shi,

Li Shi, Third Elder, these elders are in charge of war affairs; compared to those originally powerful cultivators, these people are more suited to study combat issues.

Moreover, Li Shi himself comes from a military family.

His strength is extraordinarily strong.

"It is said that poisonous insects have appeared in the frontline battles."

Gao Ci suddenly began to explain.

Gao Ci is the Grand Elder, with an exceptionally outstanding demeanor.

At a glance.

He is definitely a strong expert.

"Poisonous insects? How did poisonous insects suddenly appear?"

Gu Qingwan expressed doubt.

And the pen in her hand also stopped because of Gao Ci's words.

The pen was placed beside the inkstone, and the paper was lightly pinched between Gu Qingwan's fingers.

Wind blew in through the window, bringing gusts of cool breeze.

It also made the paper ripple.

A feeling of coolness swept over the heart.

"We also don't know why."

"The appearance of poisonous insects was reported by a soldier who returned; it is said that wherever there is a bloody smell on the battlefield, countless poisonous insects appear."

"These poisonous insects, after being tainted by blood, become larger and more terrifying."

Su Liyan raised her eyebrows: "Oh? Although poisonous insects need to be raised, that doesn't mean they can be raised this way—are you saying this is definite information?"

"Absolutely! They all come from the front." Li Shi clasped his hands, looking respectfully at Su Liyan: "Sect Leader, if this continues, those soldiers will eventually be devoured; otherwise, let us cultivators step in to stop it."

Su Liyan…

Having said that, do you know Xiao Yinghua's weapon?

Also, you tried to intervene but didn't see it—did the cultivators of the Great Qin Dynasty not take the field either?

Their taking the field is nothing but being pure suckers, right?

But… we really can't let Xiao Yinghua do as she pleases.

We must think of a way to reverse the situation.

Just as Su Liyan was about to speak, Gu Qingwan beat her to it and spoke first.

"You are overestimating those poisonous insects."

"Poisonous insects, poisonous insects, they indeed have great lethality and cause great pain."

"But… you've forgotten one thing."

Su Liyan became interested, quickly asking "What is it?", her eyes even glowing with light.

"Poisonous insects, poisonous insects, if they long-term eat human flesh and drink human blood, what would they become?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's thoughts entered this question.

That makes sense.

If a poisonous insect eats meat, will it soon become stronger?

Anything else?

Nothing, right?

Seeing that everyone seemed puzzled, Gu Qingwan spoke softly to reassure them: "Not only will they turn into monsters that eat human flesh."

They will also lose control; the gu worms need to be controlled, we must make them obey us, but if these gu worms.. "(End of chapter)"
