Chapter 1195 - 24: Journey to the Southern Border (Part 13)_2
After shouting twice, someone followed suit, chanting, "Dismiss the Holy Daughter!"One voice.
Two voices.
Three voices.
Everyone on Wangu Mountain was shouting the same.
The Holy Daughter’s face turned dark and radiant.
Chu Shun felt exhilarated; who dares harm his wife?
This is the price!
As the Holy Daughter’s face darkened to an extreme, a malicious aura made everyone shudder deep down.
The shouting gradually grew faint.
The Eighth Elder looked around and said, "Something seems off?"
His heart was beating too fast.
He constantly feared something terrible would happen.
Not only him, but the other elders felt the same way.
They all carried protective Gu, and now, the protective Gu seemed to be in fear?
Before they could figure out the matter, Gu Worms surged from all directions.
Dense and overwhelming, making one’s scalp tingle.
Even those who had seen them by the lake were deeply frightened.
He drew the Soft Sword from his waist, ready for a do-or-die battle with the Gu Worms.
They bullied the weak.
Gu Worms bullied the few.
Chu Shun scattered Qin Hanhan’s expelling poison powder on the ground, but the Gu Worms ignored it and stepped right over.
The Great Elder’s face changed drastically as he watched the Gu Worms, "Yin Gu!"
"You secretly raised Yin Gu!"
The Holy Daughter’s earlier demeanor was long gone; she laughed, "You care about Wangu Mountain. As the Holy Daughter, should I not care?!"
"Unable to command the Holy Gu, lacking the Gu Raising Skill, if someone invades Wangu Mountain, how will it defend itself?!"
The Great Elder trembled with anger, "That’s no excuse for raising Yin Gu!"
Yin Gu is taboo on Wangu Mountain.
If anyone secretly raises it, the mild consequence is expulsion from Wangu Mountain, the severe one is execution.
The Great Elder felt more pained for those who perished seeking poisonous herbs; they sacrificed their lives to find herbs only for the Holy Daughter to use to raise Yin Gu!
Chu Shun looked at Qin Hanhan, "What is Yin Gu?"
Qin Hanhan whispered, "I saw in my grandfather’s writings that Yin Gu is raised in dark, sunless places, consuming poisonous herbs and human corpses. Once it enters a human body, the person dies within moments and is then controlled by Yin Gu... ."
Chu Shun got goosebumps all over.
Is the Holy Daughter insane?
Daring to raise such a poisonous parasite—or is she scared of losing her position as the Holy Daughter and raises Yin Gu to respond?
Such selfishness, claiming it’s for Wangu Mountain; even though he considers himself thick-skinned, compared to the Holy Daughter, he’s as thin as paper.
After Qin Hanhan finished, someone was already afflicted.
Those hit by Yin Gu died instantly; their skin shriveled, turning to attack them alongside the Gu Worms.
This was terrifying!
Chu Shun swung his sword, and the person collapsed.
Yin Gu swarmed over, and within a few breaths, only bones remained.
This scene frightened even the nine elders, let alone others on Wangu Mountain.
Chu Shun no longer felt fear as the Gu Worms approached them.
He swung his sword, slashing seven or eight Yin Gu.
The once-sunny sky was now covered with oppressive, raging clouds.
The nine elders tried to extinguish Yin Gu but with little success.
There were too many Yin Gu, and they didn’t know their nemesis.
Mid-fight, the Seventh Elder remembered, "Holy Gu!"
"Find the Holy Gu!"
The Great Elder looked at Qin Hanhan as he spoke.
Qin Hanhan faced the Yin Gu surrounding them, feeling helpless.
Chu Shun grabbed her and leaped towards the Holy Daughter’s chambers.
The Holy Daughter turned to chase them.
Fighting was inevitable.
The Holy Daughter’s men were many and skilled.
They blocked Chu Shun’s path, with Yin Gu pursuing.
If not for his training at Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Chu Shun would’ve been invaded by Yin Gu.
With great effort, Qin Hanhan managed to grab the urn holding the Holy Daughter.
Just as she got it, someone snatched it away, falling into the Holy Daughter’s hands.
The Holy Daughter looked at the Holy Gu and sneered coldly.
If not for needing the Holy Gu occasionally, she would’ve extinguished the useless thing countless times!
For it, she’s endured so much hardship these past twenty years!
Today, she could finally destroy it openly.
The Holy Daughter laughed uninterruptedly.
Just as she was about to destroy the Holy Gu, someone rushed in from behind, knocking the urn from her hand.
The intruder was none other than—
It was Mr. Tao, Qin Hanhan’s grandfather.
With his granddaughter heading to Wangu Mountain, he couldn’t rest easy; three days after their departure, he followed.
He knocked away the Holy Gu, arousing the Holy Daughter’s fury.
She turned around, scattering poison powder.
Caught off guard, Mr. Tao was hit.
The Holy Gu was thrown away, falling to the ground.
