Lord of the night.

Chapter 1337 It Ate the Heavenly Centipede?! [Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader jackiej! Thank you for your support!]

The trembling of the Five Spirit Gu was very slight, but Yan Nan could feel it clearly. He could even feel the fear of collapse in the heart of his Five Spirit Gu.

Fang Che's Five Spirit Gu stepped forward again, extending its body from Fang Che's fingertips, its tentacles waving: Come here! Come here!

Yan Nan's Five Spirit Gu retreated a sufficient distance and felt safe enough, so it extended its tentacles to provoke: Come on!
Yan Nan's eyes popped out of their sockets again, and two words escaped his mouth: "Holy shit!"

"grandfather!"

Yan Beihan finally became unhappy.

As my grandfather and Fang Che's father-in-law, you should at least show some respect as an elder. Instead, you keep using the vulgar language, which is quite disrespectful!
Although this situation is truly unexpected, don't forget that you are the Vice Chief Cult Leader!

Yan Nan didn't hear anything; her eyes were fixed on Fang Che's Five Spirit Gu.

The little creature was in Fang Che's palm, its two antennae twitching incessantly. One was scratching Fang Che's palm, while the other was pointing straight at Yan Nan's Five Spirit Gu. Its four little legs were bending and gathering strength, and its bottom was shaking, as if it were issuing a challenge or making a request.

Let me out, I want to fuck it! I can't stand it! I want to fuck it, fuck it, ahhh... I crave to fuck it, ahhh!

There are actually such pretentious Five Spirit Gu in the world! I can't stand it, Master!

Yan Nan's face twitched as she asked Fang Che, "What is it saying?"

Fang Che's face was also contorted: "It's asking to fight, saying... cough cough, saying that it will benefit from swallowing yours."

"Swallowed this?"

Yan Nan's face was completely contorted: "This... Night Demon, what's going on?"

"I do not know either."

Fang Che looked completely innocent.

I've never compared my Five Spirit Gu with anyone else before, okay?
The black energy that devoured other Five Elemental Gu in the Gu-raising God-becoming-God plan only belonged to the dead, and those Five Elemental Gu could only manifest in the Gu God Space.

You can't see it anywhere else either.

After a standoff, Fang Che ultimately did not agree to let his Five Spirit Gu attack.

Enraged, the little creature continuously spewed out black gas, leaping and circling menacingly in Fang Che's palm. It sprayed mouthfuls of black gas at Yan Nan's Five Elemental Gu, its malice palpable, as if pointing a finger at his nose and yelling: "You just wait! You fucking just wait! Today, because my master is displeased, I'll spare your life! You little bastard, you'll see later!"
Meanwhile, Yan Nan's pale gold Five Spirit Gu was also roaring furiously, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

It also realized that the other side couldn't get through.

Since I can't get here, what am I afraid of? So I started to provoke, spray bullets, and confront them.

However, Fang Che's Five Elemental Gu suddenly jumped up in Fang Che's palm, and the pale gold Five Elemental Gu opposite him immediately turned around and ran away...

Oh my god, this is so scary...

Yan Nan sighed helplessly and quickly put away his Five Elemental Gu.

Forget it, you'd better not embarrass yourself in public...

Despite being of such a higher rank, he was so intimidated that he was nothing.

Yan Beihan also put away the Five Spirit Gu that had terrified him, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

When the two Gu appeared, Yan Beihan's Five Spirit Gu trembled with fear the whole time... This made Miss Yan feel extremely embarrassed: It was so shameful.

"How come your Five Elemental Gu is so ferocious?"

Yan Nan was completely baffled. It was even more ferocious than him; this was simply unacceptable.

"I don't know either..." Fang Che looked bewildered. "Could it be because... he's killed a lot of people?"

He truly hadn't expected that his Five Elemental Gu would now pose such a significant threat to Yan Nan's Five Elemental Gu.

"..."

Yan Nan frowned as well: "Impossible."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Five Elemental Gu is fierce, unlike mine. But I can clearly sense that if we were to really fight, your Five Elemental Gu would be no match for mine, yet it can make my Five Elemental Gu feel a kind of fear, like it's encountering a natural enemy. That's not right."

Yan Nan still managed to find a reason to back down from his Five Spirit Gu.

The main issue is that as the deputy leader, it's unacceptable that his own king-level Five Elemental Gu was almost scared to death by his subordinate Xiao Mo's Five Elemental Gu.

"The Vice Master is right." Fang Che said respectfully, "My Five Spirit Gu have only undergone some mutations; their actual cultivation level is far inferior."

"what……"

Yan Suiyun glanced at Yan Beihan and chuckled, as if her daughter was particularly funny today.

Yan Nan's old face almost turned red from laughing, and he quickly changed the subject.

"Who gave you your Five Elemental Gu?"

Yan Nan asked a particularly stupid question.

“The Five Spirit Gu Seeds taught by Yixin… by Master Sun Yuan.”

Fang Che said speechlessly.

"..."

Yan Nan also realized her foolishness. The Five Spirit Gu were all issued by the headquarters with sect qualifications. How could the seeds cultivated by each sect be different?

"Anyway, something's not right."

Yan Nan pondered for a long time, and then suddenly a thought flashed through his mind: "How was the dead centipede disposed of in the Centipede Valley?"

Fang Che suddenly realized, "Right! After the centipede died, this little guy rushed up and drank its brains..." "!!!"

"what?!"

Yan Nan and Yan Bei Han were both shocked.

The whole thing became a mess.

Yan Nan's head even shook twice, feeling a little dizzy.

"It...it ate the Heavenly Centipede?"

Yan Nan's eyes bulged out.

"It didn't eat the Heavenly Centipede. It was after the Heavenly Centipede died that it rushed up and ate its brains..." Fang Che quickly explained.

"Didn't it eat the Heavenly Centipede?"

Yan Nan said incredulously, "This is... outrageous! How could it eat the Heavenly Centipede?"

Fang Che had a sudden inspiration and said, "When you mentioned this, it reminded me of something. Before, the pressure on the Five Spirit Gu didn't seem very strong, but it became much stronger after we came out of the Heavenly Centipede Valley... and then this advancement was much more noticeable."

Yan Nan slowly closed his wide-open mouth, frowning as he said, "So that's why... But how come your Five Elemental Gu is so vicious? It even dares to eat the Heavenly Centipede?"

Fang Che said speechlessly, "Perhaps it's because... none of your Five Elemental Gu have ever eaten the Heavenly Centipede..."

"nonsense!"

Yan Nan retorted angrily, "What's wrong with your brain? When have we ever seen a fresh, hot, just-dead centipede?"

"..."

Fang Che remained silent.

But Yan Nan and Yan Suiyun were clearly speechless as well.

After all this time, the source is actually here? Tianwu Valley?
But how could something like this happen in Tianwu Valley... where swallowing it allows one to refine the Five Spirit Gu created by the Tianwu God? This is clearly a paradox, isn't it?

The child I gave birth to ate me, and then it had the ability to eat other children?
And then it also poses a threat to itself?

This just doesn't make any sense from any angle!

"Eate the Heavenly Centipede... Eat the Heavenly Centipede..."

Yan Nan stroked his beard and muttered, "Damn, inhuman..."

Then he carefully examined Fang Che's Five Elemental Gu, as if looking at a rare treasure, muttering to himself, "It's changed, it's changed..."

"This is the only Five-Element Gu in the entire world that has eaten the Heavenly Centipede..."

"This little guy is creating the future..."

Even the Five Spirit Gu, a spiritual creature, was frightened by Yan Nan's greedy gaze. It fidgeted restlessly in Fang Che's palm, wanting to return.

Yan Nan looked at it for a long time before finally saying reluctantly, "Put it away."

Then he sent a message to Feng Yun: "Come back, there's no need for the experiment anymore."

Feng Yun, who was running wildly: "???"

Yan Nan let out a soft sigh, her gaze drifting into the distance as she looked at the continuous rain outside the window, her heart churning with emotion.

Based on his eyesight and experience, once he saw the abnormality of the Five Spirit Gu, there was no need to test it again with human lives.

This is absolutely true.

Therefore, the look in his eyes when he looked at Fang Che became even more conflicted.

"The Cloud Weapon Ranking has been released."

When Yan Nan said this, she herself didn't know what she was feeling: "Night Demon can't be on the list; but this time, it should be a life-or-death battle! Especially when facing the opposing camp. You are fighting as a young expert on the side of the guardians... while the experts of the Sole Righteous Sect on this side don't know your identity."

"So when the time comes, they won't show any mercy to anyone they encounter."

"This is a battle in the clouds, and when the guardians and the people of the Sovereign Cult meet on the Cloud Ranking, it is an absolute battle to the death!"

"The combat power of those on the Cloud Ranking... far surpasses that of their peers!"

"Based on the average genius, a Saint Venerable of the first rank on the Cloud Ranking is enough to fight dozens or even hundreds of Saint Venerables of the same rank without taking any damage. A Saint Venerable of the first rank on the Cloud Ranking can basically win against Saint Venerables of the fifth, sixth, or seventh ranks who are not on the Cloud Ranking. They can even fight against Saint Venerables of the eighth or ninth ranks."

"The same applies to the ranks of Holy Emperor, Holy Venerable, and Holy Monarch."

"Battles on the Cloud Rankings are extremely...dangerous!"

Yan Nan gave a bitter laugh.

Fang Che clearly sensed the difference. If it were before, why would Yan Nan have hesitated so much? Nor would he have mentioned any dangers.

But this time, he showed genuine concern.

"Firstly, your identity forces you to fight; moreover, the Guardians' higher-ups cannot allow you to withdraw from the decision-making process. Secondly, your potential and abilities, as well as your ability to refine the Five Elemental Gu, all came from battles and even plunder. Therefore... for you, tight protection is actually a form of suppression."

"So you really have to break through the fighting to make this ability stronger and stronger."

"So this journey, especially a fair fight, is actually a huge risk for you."

Yan Nan sighed deeply, feeling utterly humiliated: because all this troublesome situation was of her own making!
Thinking of this, Yan Nan's heart sank even further: "Night Demon, do you understand?"
