Chapter 536 Gu Vein 1
Following the trees at a distance, Lan Ying robbed two more groups of her fellow Gu clan members who had obtained the Flower Heart Gu using the same method. It seems her purpose in coming here was indeed the Flower Heart Gu.

Qing Sang and his group followed them for a while, figuring out the general direction, and then began searching for their target. They quickly found a male and female Gu Clan disciple. Qing Sang swiftly acted, attaching two red leaves to them when they weren't looking, quickly subduing them.

Then Song Tanxi released the Dream Flower. After emerging, the Dream Flower excitedly curled its leaves around Qing Sang as a sign of affection. Then, obediently, it extended two thin strips of paper above the two people's heads, and then two blue dream bubbles were pulled out from above their heads. As if showing off its achievement, it dragged them to Qing Sang, who smiled and took them, stroking their leaves.

"I'll give you two candies when we get back."

Meng Tanhua shook her slender body excitedly, then rubbed against Song Tanxi before reluctantly returning home.

Ever since Qing Sang conceived the idea of ​​letting Meng Tan Hua try consuming the dreams created by Yue Ran, and after experimenting, Meng Tan Hua's strength increased dramatically, evolving the ability to extract other people's dreams. These dreams are divided into real and illusory; real dream bubbles are blue, indistinguishable from memories. Illusory dream bubbles are red. Meng Tan Hua, who had previously felt her cultivation was slow, suddenly became ambitious, constantly thinking about eating "candy." However, this "candy" wasn't something she could eat indiscriminately; only dreams created by Yue Ran infused with the power of life could increase her strength.

From the dream bubble, we learned that these two were disciples of the Grand Elder's lineage; the woman was named Lan Yi, and the man Lan Jiefeng. They weren't considered top talents within the Grand Elder's lineage and were usually quite low-key. They had actively sought to be sent here, wanting to prove themselves. They were lucky this time, managing to find a lone individual and complete a "Heart-Stealing Gu" spell. They were currently on their way back to report. Because they were close to returning to the Gu Clan, they lowered their guard, making them easily controlled by Qing Sang.

"Watch me now." Lan Suyu stepped forward, first removing the Flower Heart Gu and Madder Gu from Lan Yi's body, then reaching out to touch Lan Yi's face. She then turned around and fiddled with her own face for a while. When she turned back, her face was exactly the same as Lan Yi's. Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, she winked triumphantly at Qing Sang. "Just a little skill for traveling the world."

"Impressive!" Qing Sang had to admire her. Lan Suyu was truly talented, and it was no wonder she was able to escape from the Gu vein alive.

“Then there’s one left…” Lan Suyu said, looking at the only man present—Qing Luo.

Qingluo didn't say anything, only gave a cold laugh, making her stance clear. Then she glanced at Lan Jiefeng and turned to Qing Sang: "Tsk, with that frail appearance, you go."

"You little brat, are you asking for a beating? Who are you calling weak and frail? Watch out, or I'll beat you up." Qing Sang rolled his eyes at Qing Luo, but he had to admit that although Qing Luo looked like a teenager, he was over 1.8 meters tall and had a strong, lean build. Lan Jiefeng, on the other hand, was probably only a little over 1.7 meters tall, and his pale and thin appearance did not match Qing Luo at all.

“I think it’s fine. The height and build are similar, and no one will be able to tell the difference once you change your clothes. Besides, I could tell just now that this kid is usually quiet and doesn’t interact with many people except for Lan Yi. You just need to keep quiet.” Lan Suyu accepted it quickly.

Qing Sang thought about it and realized that given Qing Luo's personality, she really couldn't tolerate even a little bit. Although her whole family had this kind of temper, Qing Sang was confident that she was stronger than Qing Luo, so she accepted the suggestion. Lan Suyu followed the same method and quickly changed her face. Then she changed them into their clothes, making it look flawless. After doing all this, Lan Suyu took out her Gu Soul Bell again and gently shook it on Lan Yi and Lan Jiefeng's chests, quickly drawing out their natal Gu. Then, using the Gu Vein Secret Technique she had stolen from the Holy Temple, she placed their natal Gu on her and Qing Sang to conceal their identities. After doing all this, she directly killed the two of them. Their bodies were quickly devoured by her Gu worms, leaving no trace.

"This is an improved version of the Bewitching Gu that I made myself in my spare time." Lan Suyu then took out three small bottles. "As long as you feed it a little blood, you can be uncontrollable when needed. The Bewitching Gu is different from other Gu; whether you are affected or not can be detected. You can only pretend to be blood bags that have been captured and go in."

"I don't need it." Liu Shuangyue was resurrected with the help of Gui Liu, so she doesn't have a human body. Therefore, she has her own way of hiding her form.

Lan Suyu raised an eyebrow: "What about the remaining two? Of course, you can choose not to believe me, but I have no other way to get you in."

Qing Sang reached for two porcelain bottles and handed one to Song Tanxi and one to Qing Luo. The two didn't say anything, simply opening the bottles and dripping their blood inside. Two tiny Gu worms flew out and landed on their heads. A moment later, their eyes became vacant and dull, but this only lasted a few seconds before their gazes returned to normal. They nodded to Qing Sang, confirming that Lan Suyu's words were true.

Liu Shuangyue, however, disappeared from the spot at some unknown time, her figure vanishing.

"Let's go!"

Following the guidance of the madder worm, they left the Hundred Miasma Forest and were stunned by what they saw. Before them lay crisscrossing paths, neatly arranged houses, and wisps of smoke rising from chimneys as the sun set—a tranquil rural scene reminiscent of a paradise on earth.

"Isn't this completely different from what we imagined?" Lan Suyu asked knowingly, looking at the stunned expressions on their faces.

Qing Sang nodded. In the Four Spirit Continents and Blue Creek Continent, even in the Cangyuan Cloud Realm, the mere mention of the Gu Clan was enough to make anyone tremble with fear. Even if it wasn't sinister and terrifying, it should at least be grand and majestic, not something one would expect from such a peaceful and serene rural scene.

"Because of the Hundred Miasma Forest, this place is practically isolated from the world! The Gu people are all mortals, and humans always need to eat. Farming is the best way to be self-sufficient." As Lan Suyu spoke, she couldn't help but think of the happy childhood she had before she was chosen as the Holy Maiden. But everything changed completely after she became the Holy Maiden.

"This is just the outer perimeter. The inner perimeter consists of the three holy palaces each of the three elders governs, as well as the holy temple where the Holy Maiden and her direct descendants reside. Next, we should go to the First Elder's Shuoyue Palace to report back."
