Chapter 261: Bug Skill

"This Heavenly Universe's Wrath is definitely a bug!"

"According to the effect written on the panel."

"The Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng's Heavenly Universe Grace should be a targeted skill."

"That is, the target designated by the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng cannot dodge!"

"And the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng only needs to switch its Heavenly Universe Grace to Heavenly Universe's Wrath..."

"A thousand unavoidable explosive damages, and they can stack!"

"I just don't know what the base damage of Heavenly Universe's Wrath is."

"However, the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng itself is equivalent to the strength of a fifth-stage Martial Sovereign."

"Even if the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng is not skilled in combat."

"The power of Heavenly Universe's Wrath is probably still enough to instantly kill any enemy below Martial Sovereign!"

"Heavenly Universe's Blessing is the hope for the protected to survive."

"Even if the enemy can break the shield of Heavenly Universe's Blessing."

"It will also cause continuous damage within thirty breaths."

"As long as one can hold out until the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng arrives, or another medic arrives, there is a chance to save a life!"

"Finally, the Heavenly Universe's Fruit should have an effect similar to what Gu Han guessed for the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng's tendrils."

"It possesses an excellent healing effect surpassing most healing medicinal pills!"

"After all, no matter how advanced the medicinal pill, it is merely the efficacy extracted from various heavenly materials and earthly treasures and materials, then added into the pill."

"Moreover, alchemists inevitably come into contact with some impurities during the pill-refining process."

"Compared to pure, additive-free Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng, it's not just a little bit off!"

"\"Hey, Xiao Bai, what are you standing there for? \""

"Looking at Gu Han laughing like a landlord's foolish son, the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng tilted its head, curiously gazing at Gu Han."

"\"I... I'm fine, I just thought of something happy. \""

"Gu Han gave an embarrassed laugh, and through the battle pet function, helped the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng restrain its aura."

"Nowadays, the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng looks just like ordinary ginseng... or rather, a radish would be more fitting."

"It doesn't have the earth-shaking aura it had when it was first born."

"The Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng sensed its own aura and found that, just as Gu Han said, it had indeed restrained itself."

"Its trust in Gu Han grew a bit more."

"Gu Han immediately collected the corpses of the tragically slain demon beasts and human Warrior Ancestors."

"Seeing this, the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng felt a surge of emotion."

"Willing to bury the dead and demon beasts, it truly did not misjudge a person!"

"But it didn't know that Gu Han did this merely to absorb attributes..."

"Gu Han looked at the three treants frozen in place with some regret."

"These three treants were not naturally occurring demon beasts."

"But rather, after being infected by the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng, they temporarily possessed formidable strength and spiritual awareness."

"If they could occupy and devour the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng, their strength could officially break through to six-star, or even higher!"

"But they failed."

"After the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng gave birth to its own spiritual awareness, theirs likewise dissipated."

"Merely through aura infection, it could spawn three treant demon beasts nearing six-star, i. e., Martial Sovereign strength."

"This alone shows how formidable the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng is!"

"But for Gu Han, this caused him to lose the chance to absorb the three five-star peak demon beasts."

"Gu Han sighed, bringing the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng along, and returned to Han Shan Cheng."

"Meanwhile, the cities surrounding the perilous grounds are now in an uproar."

"\"What's going on? Aside from Martial Sovereigns, our side has practically mobilized half of its Warrior Ancestor combat power! \""

"Ten Thousand Valleys City, the Fang Family Head furiously roared,"

"\"Who stole the newly born heavenly materials and earthly treasures? \""

"He originally wanted to act personally, but the commotion of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures' emergence was simply too great."

"If he were to leave Ten Thousand Valleys City again, he would surely draw the attention of other families."

"Therefore, the Fang Family Head decided to stay in Ten Thousand Valleys City and simultaneously contacted the three families with better relations among the other cities."

"Together they joined forces to conceal the disturbances occurring in the perilous grounds!"

"\"Could it have been taken by the Hu Family? \""

"The Fang Family Head solemnly questioned Fang Kaiyi."

"The Hu Family is the strongest among the other three families."

"Yet it still falls short of the Fang Family by a notch."

"If the Hu Family seized this newly born heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they would surely surpass the Fang Family's power in the future!"

"The balance among these families would likely shift subtly."

"Fang Kaiyi and several Warrior Ancestor elders lowered their heads nervously."

"Fang Kaiyi is the eldest son of the Fang Family Head and can bear the Family Head's anger."

"But these elders dare not provoke the Family Head!"

"Fang Kaiyi steeled himself and said,"

"\"It wasn't taken by the Hu Family. \""

"Oh?"

Fang Family Head Furrowed Brow, could it be that when the Fang and Hu families were locked in a struggle like two tigers, the other two families took advantage?

However, Fang Kaiyi's next words caused his expression to change drastically,

"At that time, a Heavy Sword Peak flying vessel arrived and drove us away."

Fang Kaiyi said indignantly,

"We four families joined forces, originally intending to resist Heavy Sword Peak, but that Heavy Sword Peak disciple wielded a heaven-grade spiritual artifact, and the flying vessel possessed an extremely powerful killing technique."

"We are no match for them; we can only avoid their sharpness."

He did not explicitly say that the heavenly treasures had fallen into the hands of the Heavy Sword Peak disciple.

But when these words reached the ears of the Fang Family Head, they implied that Heavy Sword Peak had seized the heavenly treasures.

The Fang Family Head let out a long sigh, slumped into the chair, and said helplessly,

"Since Heavy Sword Peak intervened, it is only natural that you are powerless."

As the foremost sect of Jiannan Prefecture, Heavy Sword Peak's reputation spreads far and wide.

The fact that Fang Kaiyi and the others dared to rise up in resistance already made him look at them with new eyes.

Heavy Sword Peak, with its vast estate, is able to produce a heaven-grade spiritual artifact for the younger generation.

Our Fang family does not possess such vast wealth, so it is only natural that we are no match for Heavy Sword Peak.

After the young masters of the other three great families returned, they too were questioned by their elders.

Everyone gave the same account: the four families, having joined forces, were driven back by Heavy Sword Peak.

This was the wording they had agreed upon after leaving the dangerous place.

They only needed to say that after being repelled by Heavy Sword Peak, they did not know the whereabouts of the heavenly treasures.

Even if Heavy Sword Peak discovered that its disciple had not returned to the peak, it would only suspect that Jiang Baisheng and the others had fled with the money.

After all, the potent effects of the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng would certainly not be enjoyed by Jiang Baisheng if brought back to the peak.

Moreover, Jiang Baisheng would likely find it hard to resist the temptation of the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng, so fleeing with the funds is understandable.

Even if the Heavy Sword Peak sect master trusted Jiang Baisheng even more,

that would only lead to suspicion that a martial lord from another power had intercepted it!

The Fang and Hu families—these four great families present.

Yet they could not match the strength of the many members of Heavy Sword Peak.

Even if Heavy Sword Peak were suspicious, it could not suspect them!

The primeval forest is extremely far from Heavy Sword Peak, and moreover, Jiang Baisheng and the others did not set out from the sect; they were already out traveling.

Even if news of Jiang Baisheng and the others' mishap were sent back to the sect, it would likely be several months later.

At this moment, Gu Han had already returned to Han Shan Cheng with the Heavenly Universe Spirit Ginseng.
