REVEREND INSANITY
Chapter 143: The Answer

Chapter 143: The Answer

Soon after, Fang Zheng also rushed over.

"Master Qing Shu!" He had an excited expression, foolishly running towards Gu Yue Qing Shu, but was immediately forced back by the pin needles.

“Group leader, it's me Fang Zheng!!” He screamed in shock, feeling something wrong for the first time.

But how Gu Yue Qing Shu could answer him.

"Sister, what's wrong with Mr Qing Shu?" Fang Zheng, under confusion and shock, could only turn to Fang Yuan.

But Fang Yuan ignored him, crouched down and grabbed with his right hand, making a claw shape towards Bai Ning Bing.

Looting Gu!

He secretly activated this Gu, quickly sensing that he had taken something.

He quickly pulled back, and Gu worms flew out from Bai Ning Bing's body.

It was the red steel Relic Gu!

It was given to Bai Ning Bing by the leader of the Bai clan, but Bai Ning Bing had never used it because she had quickly reached rank three cultivation.

Now, it became Fang Yuan's loot.

Seeing the red steel Relic Gu come out from Bai Ning Bing's body and fly away, landing on Fang Yuan's palm, the Master Gu of the Bai clan was anxious until their eyes turned red, starting to shout.

"Bitch, if you don't want to die, stop now!"

"Stole the Gu worm of our Bai clan right in front of us !!"

"This is the red steel Relic Gu worm ..."

Fang Yuan laughed coldly. After the red steel Relic Gu was obtained, he used the Spring Autumn Cricket to instantly fix it but did not keep it in his hole, instead putting it on his clothes, giving the impression that he had not fixed it.

He grabbed once more; this time the gray-colored beetle flew out.

"Stone Aperture Gu ..." Fang Yuan immediately recognized this Gu. As his eyes shone, he fixed it once more and kept it in his hands.

"Damn it, another Gu worm!"

"Stop him, stop him, he dares to do it openly, he has no respect for our Bai clan."

"Save Bai Ning Bing, kill these people!"

The Bai Gu Masters clan growled, running furiously from the mountain path.

Bai Ning Bing had the full support of her clan, so every single Gu worm she had was incredible. Now that they were snatched away by Fang Yuan in public, they could all feel their hearts bleed.

It feels worse than killing them.

Seeing these people approaching with their imposing auras, Fang Zheng took a step back in fear, but Fang Yuan was not affected.

In the current scene, he and Fang Zheng were on the east side of the mountain path while the Bai Gu Masters clan was in the west, respectively, and in the middle of both sides were Gu Yue Qing Shu and Bai Ning Bing.

the wusss!

Pin needles rained down like cats and dogs.

"Damn ..." Clan master Bai Gu began to scold, as they were blocked by Gu Yue Qing Shu.

"Gu Yue Qing Shu will die at any time, the remaining time only allows me to use the Seizing Gu once, what is this time?" Fang Yuan calmed down, using the Looting Gu again.

Every time Gu Plunder was used, it depleted a large amount of primordial essence. It depends on how strong the target of the Gu worm is. The more difficult the process, the more ancient essences were released. If the looting failed, Master Gu would even face a backlash.

Thus, the Seizing Gu was a rather unreliable Gu, with little use.

But at this moment, Bai Ning Bing was on the verge of death, her consciousness blurred and she almost reached her limit. Plundering his Gu worm was not difficult at all.

Amongst the Gu worms that Bai Ning Bing had, the most valuable one was Frost Demon Gu. This Gu was equivalent to the Wood Spell Gu, allowing one to transform into an ice demon. But if used for a long time, it would cause Master Gu's life force to diminish, turning into an ice sculpture.

Bai Ning Bing knew this weakness, so she was never like Gu Yue Qing Shu, using Gu in such a way.

Other than Frost Demon Gu, the second most valuable was the Blue Bird ice coffin Gu, a rank three. Right now, it was in Bai Ning Bing's throat.

If he could loot Gu the Blue bird ice coffin, that was the best scenario. But the Seizing Gu was only a Rank two Gu, even if Master Gu wanted to, he did not have to have the ability to do so.

Finally, Fang Yuan caught onto Bai Ning Bing's Water Shield Gu.

It's not bad at all. The Water Shield Gu along with the White Jade Gu could provide even greater defensive power for Fang Yuan.

The tree spirit that turned into Gu Yue Qing Shu was finally cut down by Master Gu of the Bai clan.

They split the wooden cage and saved the fainted Bai Ning Bing after losing her right arm.

Just as they were about to slaughter Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng, the Gu Yue clan reinforcements arrived.

The two were deadlocked for a while, before the two retreated to mutual understanding.

The death of Qing Shu and the injury of Bai Ning Bing, with the threat of a wave of wolves, such a loss was already terrible. If a large-scale battle broke out, for each clan their pressure to survive would greatly increase.

Regardless of which world, people were always competing for their own benefit.

And the greatest benefit in the world, no doubt, is "survival".

Finally, the corpses of Gu Yue Qing Shu and the Gu worm, were brought back by Master Gu of the Gu Yue clan.

Both sides were cautious as they retreated from the battlefield.

The sky was raining, and the entire area was gloomy.

A group of people were standing on the slope behind the village, this was a grave.

Every now and then, there would be a few more tombstones erected here.

In this world, it was difficult for people to survive, and whether it was due to external threats or internal causes, there would always be some sacrifices.

The voice of the clan elder was low as it entered everyone's ears, making them feel even sadder.

"We are so close together in distance, yet we are forever separated by life and death."

"This pain hurts in my heart."

“Wait for me.”

“Someday, I'll lie next to you too.”

"Let's turn into ashes and land, because we support our future generations ..."

On top of the newly erected tombstone, a group of people lowered their heads. Some cried softly, and some stared at the names on the tombstone as they filled with sadness.

The cruelty of death was like a white-boned arm, slashing a bloody wound in everyone's heart.

Except some were already numb from the pain, while others were still too experienced.

Gu Yue Fang Zheng was among these people, his drooping eyes staring at the tombstone with "Gu Yue Qing Shu", these four words.

Die off?

In his eyes, there was endless uncertainty.

Yesterday's battle, the entire process and situation was still imprinted deep in his heart.

His experience was limited, he did not understand the moving and tragic courage of Gu Yue Qing Shu as well as her sacrifice.

But now that the truth was in front of him, he could not accept it all of a sudden.

"Dead? The kind-hearted Qing Shu master who always smiles, counsels, shows care and takes care of me…. Is it really dead?”

"Why did this happen?"

“Why in this world, good people die easily, while bad people live long?”

"Is this a dream, am I dreaming now?"

Fang Zheng clenched his fists, and the feeling of realistic touch made him feel even more annoyed.

The discussions of the surrounding Master Gu entered his ears.

"Huh, I can't believe it this time, even Master Qing Shu sacrificed herself."

"Man will eventually die, but it's a pity, I heard that Bai Ning Bing still has vitality left, she was finally saved."

"May he rest well underground, and bless us with the hope of surviving this wave of wolves ..."

The crowd slowly dispersed, until Fang Zheng was the last to leave.

The lonely shadow of the young man, facing the grave filled with tombstones alone.

"Master Qing Shu!" He suddenly knelt on the ground, his tears falling to the ground.

He's lost, he's sorry, he's in pain!

Trickling. Drops, drops drops…

Pea-sized raindrops fell from the dark clouds, hitting the ground, causing the leaves and branches of the tree to bend.

The smell of soil poured down Fang Zheng's nostrils, and he cried out in agonizing grief. The sound of his cries and raindrops mixed into one; his ten fingers grabbed the ground, trying to take Qing Shu's life, but he finally only had two handfuls of earth.

The rain started to fall, and Bai Ning Bing lay on the soft bed, staring at this rain with a blank look.

His broken right arm had been removed, wrapped in a white bandage. His eyes also turned black again, but his cultivation was at rank three, he no longer suppressed him to rank two.

When he woke up from his sleep, he suddenly lost all spirit, feeling very empty.

He lay on his bed peacefully, his eyes open for over ten hours. He let the third rank white silver primeval essence nurture its openings; he could not bother to care about it.

This rain triggered the deepest memories in his heart.

It was under the summer rain that he was officially adopted by the leader of the Bai clan. The benevolent and hopeful gaze of the clan leader fell on him, as the surrounding clan elders gave words of congratulations, rushing over like a tidal wave.

He who was young stood on the icy ground barefoot, and he stared at the rain outside the window, but all he felt was lost and lonely.

“What is the meaning of life?” This question bothered him for twenty years, and could continue to bother him, until his explosive problem resurfaced.

“Is it for kinship, for the clan.” Bai Ning Bing inevitably thinks of Gu Yue Qing Shu.

From young to mature, he had seen such sacrifices many times — sometimes it was the Bai clan, sometimes they were from the Gu Yue clan or the Xiong clan.

He could not understand these fanatics, he was born as cold and emotionless.

Gu Yue Qing Shu could not give him an answer, so Bai Ning Bing thought of Fang Yuan.

The first time he saw Fang Yuan, Fang Yuan was sitting near a tree, eating the wild fruit he was picking, emotionlessly starting the battle below.

He was excited until his body shuddered, shivering with excitement. The reason for that was because he saw himself from Fang Yuan's terrifying chasm-like iris.

But now that he thought about it, Fang Yuan's gaze had something more than him.

That, is the answer to his question.

The rain grew increasingly heavy and thunder rumbled while lightning struck in the sky.

"What is the meaning behind life?" In the dark room, Gu Yue Fang Zheng asked the same question.

Clan leader Gu Yue, Gu Yue Bo sighed. He stared sadly at the young man who had lost his soul, and then looked out the window, at the rain.

Fang Zheng's doubts were understandable; the inevitable death always urged people to think behind the true value of existence.

"You know something? More than ten years ago, there was another young man with the same situation as you, and asked me the same question.” A long time after, Gu Yue Bo began to speak.

“That person, is the leader of your clan..my adopted son — Gu Yue Qing Shu.”.

Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, raising his head. A pair of puffy red eyes, showing a strong desire to answer.
