Chapter 180
“It's time, I can't wait any longer.”
As night fell, Fang Yuan opened his eyes in the dark room.
She had already taken off her Gu Master uniform and was now wearing a black dress that covered her legs. Matched with his long black hair, he would appear like a ghost as he moved in the darkness.
He was used to having long hair in his previous life. Some Gu worms require long hair to demonstrate their abilities, such as Black Hair Gu, Steel Hair Gu and so on.
Having long hair is also quite comfortable. You can shorten it if there comes a time when you have to change your appearance. But for short hair, in order to grow it in a short time, one must rely on certain Gu worms.
Not long ago, he had made a deal with Gu Yue Mo Chen. Right now, he had received Pig Iron Gu and all forty thousand ancient stones. The only thing left was Gu's healing grass.
“I can only forget about Gu's Healing now. How can everything go as you wish, reality is full of helpless choices.
Fang Yuan sighed, then stood up and lightly opened the door before using Stealth Scales Gu and disappearing into the night.
He was forced by circumstances to carry out this movement.
His father and daughter were getting closer, and his plan to become the envoy of Xiong village had been stopped as well.
The Xiong Village was able to retain most of their strength; the Bai Clan and the Gu Yue clan did not dare to be too powerful, so the compensation talk ended in failure. The three sides then decided to hold a three-clan competition.
The Mo Faction might have deliberately recruited Fang Yuan, but this move caused Fang Yuan to be in the midst of a political struggle and attracted the hostility of every elder.
Also adding Bai Ning Bing who had grown stronger as she neared her death, the entire situation became even more unfavorable to Fang Yuan, forcing him towards a dead end.
Even if Fang Yuan was an old fox, he still needed strength to support his plan. Facing such a situation, even though he had already used up all his efforts and strength, making much faster progress than he had done in his previous life, he had made, A rank three early stage cultivation was still not enough to reverse the situation.
“The situation is terrible, I can only take a risk and bet on this method!” Fang Yuan thought hard, putting his hopes on the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.
As long as he plucked the Heavenly Treasure Lotus, the spirit spring in the underground cave would be useless. The clan would definitely investigate crazily, but what else but an investigation?
The spirit spring was already disabled, and even if they obtained the Heavenly Treasure Chest and destroyed it or returned it to the spirit spring again, the spirit spring would not recover.
What can a clan do to survive?
There was only one thing: snatch a new spirit spring!
However, there were only three spirit springs in Qing Mao mountain and each one was occupied by one of the three clans. If one was destroyed by Fang Yuan, then the Gu Yue clan only had one choice – made a choice between the two.
This choice was war, war with Bai village or Xiong village.
Only by seizing one of the spirit springs of the Gu Yue clan could it have a basis to continue its existence. There was no need to talk about Gu Masters being able to support their cultivation without the support of spirit springs.
But this move is too dangerous. But Fang Yuan had no other choice as the Autumn Spring Cricket recovered so quickly that its aperture had already begun to feel burdening. He did not have much time, so he could only fight for a slight chance to survive and seek life in death.
. . .
The hall was bright with all the lights.
A Master Gu had sent Gu Audio Photos, but this Gu was currently in Gu Yue Bo's hands. “Divine Investigator Tie, what do you think of my request?” Gu Yue Bo asked with a smile.
Tie Ruo Nan snorted lightly.
Tie Xue Leng pondered for a moment before agreeing, “Alright, if Fang Yuan really turns out to be the killer, I will leave enough time for him to participate in the three clans competition.”
“Dad ...” Tie Ruo Nan's eyes flickered with a strange light; this was not his father's style.
“Hehe, the words of the heavenly Inquisitor are precious and he never reneged on his promise. This humble person fully trusts you and also thanks you for your understanding.” Gu Yue Bo's smile became softer, yet she coldly hummed inside.
Gu Yue Yao Ji secretly brought Tie's father and son into the underground cave and let them look through the official history records of the clan. How could he as the clan leader not know of this?
But he had to hold back his anger due to the upcoming tournament as well as the complicated political struggles in the clan.
Tie Xue Leng might be a powerful fifth rank expert, but he had no way to calm the dissatisfaction in Gu Yue Bo's heart.
“Fortunately, the original content is all recorded in the secret records of the clan and only successive clan leaders can keep it. Official history of it for outsiders to see.” Gu Yue Bo was secretly feeling arrogant.
The historical records of the Gu Yue clan were divided into official records and secret records.
The official record was hidden in a secret room in an underground cave and its contents were to brainwash the next generation and turned out to be fake.
But the secret note records all the original details without any false details. There were even records of some secrets that could never be revealed.
For example, the ritual to summon Guillotine Blood Gu could never be recorded in the official records, but was recorded in detail in the secret records.
“ Clan leader Gu Yue, my father has agreed to your request, now show me the picture.” Tie Ruo Nan's tone of voice showed his bad mood.
“Even if Divine Investigator Tie disagrees, I will fully cooperate with your investigation,” Gu Yue Bo gently clarified, then she lightly pinched her finger, destroying Gu Audio Photo.
Although Gu broke into pieces, it instead formed a seven-colored smoke ball that contained all sorts of noise.
Gu Yue Bo lightly blew on it; this smoke drifted into the wall, but did not penetrate.
Like droplets of ink falling into the water, colorful traces began to appear on the wall without a stain.
In this image, Fang Zheng quickly found himself as well as many other familiar faces.
All of these faces showed excitement as they looked around the cave, their faces filled with the immaturity of the children. They are like chicks who have just learned to flap their wings and fly out of the nest.
“It was Fang Yuan ...” Similarly, Tie Ruo Nan immediately found Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was walking inside the group, and although he was looking around like the others, his gaze was calm and detached. In the same age group, he was like a stork inside a group of chickens. If one did not specifically pay attention to it, a normal person would not find any difference between him and the others.
However, the group in the hall was now all concentrating on him, exposing this oddity.
“Eh? This Fang Yuan is really strange.” Right now, even Gu Yue Bo could not help but reveal a slightly surprised expression.
The scenery on the wall turned into the moment a group of young men reached the sea of flowers.
The Resurrection ceremony began, and each of the young people stepped on the underground river and walked towards the sea of flowers on the opposite bank.
The Light of Hope Gu rose and descended.
There were also the voices of the elders that could be heard clearly.
The scene appeared so vividly that it felt like it was really there.
First, Gu Yue Mo Bei who was found to have a B grade talent, caused a commotion, then Gu Yue Chi Cheng was also tested to have a B grade talent.
“That's weird, this Gu Yue Chi Cheng looks too nervous. His body movements were stiff and his skin color was also abnormal, it was just that the light under the ground was dim. But when looked at carefully, they would find that something had been applied to his body and that was what attracted Hope Gu. Hehe, this is clearly cheating. “Tie Ruo Nan was confident as she observed this.
But in the next moment, he immediately frowned.
It was Fang Yuan's turn. He stepped into the river and began to move towards the opposite bank.
The light from Hope Gu was not strong. The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment, and the ******* of the youth and elders could be heard by everyone in the group.
Everything seemed normal, but Tie Ruo Nan's wrinkles deepened. Because Fang Yuan's expression was calm all the way.
Just then, his back was facing the elders and the young man; they could not see his expression. However, as Tie Ruo Nan observed as a spectator, he saw that Fang Yuan's expression did not change at all, indifferent and cold.
It was as if..... . he already knew this was going to happen!
“This is impossible! If it was me in his place, a fifteen-year-old boy with everyone's expectations of me, but tested to only have C-class talent, how could I not feel the slightest bit of frustration, she said, disappointment and despair? How could this be, how could this happen !? ” Wrinkles Tie Ruo Nan almost forms a knot.
Huge doubts and suspicions covered his mind, even holding his breath.
His heart was pounding at the moment as all his thoughts flashed through his mind.
What the hell is going on?
How did this happen?
“Wait a minute, talent .. Could it be ?!” Tie Ruo Nan suddenly raised his head. His intuition had been activated and an extremely bold and crazy conjecture was formed in his mind.
Light and shadow reflected on Fang Zheng's face.
The Resurrection Ceremony had become the most important turning point in his life.
Before the Resurrection Ceremony, he lived a low and meaningless life; a nobody. However, after the Resurrection Ceremony, his life changed completely. He was basking in the lights and his confidence was also exploding.
In his memory, the Resurrection Ceremony was a hazy picture; he had passed through it without even realizing it.
Right now, as he was observing this as a spectator, a complicated emotion emerged in his heart that he could not explain in words.
Fang Zheng looked at himself as it came his turn. He remembered how low and weak his feelings were back then.
Immediately, he saw how he had fallen into the river and struggled to get up, and was pulled by his elder brother Fang Yuan, how he had cut off a pitiful figure.
A smile appeared on his face – This is his ex, the one who was ridiculed by many people!
Then he saw himself walking in a daze towards the opposite edge, and saw his body enveloped by the light of Hope Gu along with the shock and admiration of many people.
It was a moment of glory, a moment of wonder!
A-class talent, his life has not been the same since then!
“Fang Zheng, I have a question.” Tie Ruo Nan suddenly spoke, breaking Fang Zheng's memory.
“What's up? Please ask. I will definitely answer everything I know,” Fang Zheng turned around with a smile.
“It's about your sister. When your brother pulled you, I saw his mouth twitching, but there was too much noise around him. What did he tell you, can you tell me the words he said?” Tie Ruo Nan asked with a bright look.
“His words....” Fang Zheng tried to recall, “It looks like he has said .... road?”
“True. That is the path.” Fang Zheng's eyes twinkled, “I remember. He said to me, ‘The path to the future will attract’. Huh huh? Strange, I didn't think of anything back then, but now that I remember it, I think the words of big brother contain deep meaning, it was as if he already knew I had A-class talent! ”
“No, what he meant was not class A talent, but something else.” Tie Ruo Nan's body trembled, his expression complicated as he exhaled from the murky air.
