"can."
Upon receiving a single word in reply, Granny Liu was overwhelmed with gratitude, tears streaming down her face, and repeatedly cried out, "This junior thanks my ancestor!"
However, the ancestors ignored her bowing.
Then, thirteen gray Gu worms appeared in its palm, which it implanted in the leaders and elders of the various tribes present, controlling their lives and deaths.
"Gentlemen, summon the elites of your tribes."
"If it is not 9 AM tomorrow, then it is unnecessary to exist."
The ancestors were no different from dictators and despotic tyrants, and their demands were not open to debate.
It only cares about the result and is never willing to negotiate with these monkeys on an equal footing. In its view, the monkeys are all the same and it doesn't matter if it kills them.
"Yes, yes, we understand..."
The Gu cultivators of all races were trembling with fear, not daring to look him in the eye, and none dared to disobey.
Immediately afterwards, they began to use secret techniques or activate special Gu worms to summon the experts of their clan to the scene.
As the weak, they had no choice. It would have been satisfying to die a heroic death, but the greatest loss was that the high-ranking members of the tribe could not protect their people.
........
The Cave of a Thousand Bones.
Two hours passed quietly. The Second Elder, Gu Ni, and Gu Xuanchuan returned. When they entered the bamboo house, everyone was surprised to see the translucent, blood-jade-like butterfly in the old man's hand.
"Master Jiang, it's done."
Gu Ni stepped closer and showed the blood-red butterfly to Jiang Mo. Before Jiang Mo could ask any questions, Gu Ni introduced it first.
"Blood Source Gu, one of the five extraordinary Gu of my clan."
"Just now, I used a secret method to refine this Gu from the Gu cultivators of Luowuyuan. Its lifespan is only a few days, and it can find the location of the person with the closest bloodline to it."
"Look, this little guy has six blue spots on his right wing, which represent the blood relatives of the Gu cultivators. They are currently gathered somewhere. If we follow this direction, it won't be difficult to find their clan's location."
Jiang Mo took the Blood Source Gu and examined it carefully. He immediately felt that it was similar to the 'Human Qi' he cultivated, only the medium used and the effects emphasized were different.
"It is indeed a strange Gu, but it has a limited lifespan. What about its range? How many miles will it lose its effectiveness?"
"Judging from the strength of the Gu and the user's level of mastery of the secret techniques, ordinary clansmen can only limit it to a radius of a thousand miles at most, while I am slightly stronger, allowing it to extend to a radius of three thousand miles."
“In the vast southern frontier, starting from our clan, as long as we search and travel for a day, we can find Luo Wuyuan no matter which corner he is hiding in.”
Gu Ni is far more skilled than the First Elder and Second Elder in refining Blood Source Gu. He pointed to the blue spots on the blood-red butterfly and said:
"Their ancestral home is within three thousand miles, or even less; that's just the maximum possible distance."
"Okay...we can leave anytime."
Jiang Mo turned to the First Elder and Second Elder and asked, "How much longer until our friend from Hanling Valley arrives?"
"About a quarter of an hour."
Gu Yu gave a precise answer: the terrain in southern Xinjiang is complex, and traveling between the two places at night is slightly slower than during the day.
“Grandfather, your grandson also wishes to accompany Master Jiang. Please grant me permission.”
Gu Xuanchuan's plea was met with a stern rebuke from Gu Yu: "Nonsense!"
"What do you think this is, some kind of child's play?"
The old man flew into a rage: "This is a war of annihilation! With your cultivation level, going there would only cause trouble. Even if your great-uncle Xuanche and I went together, we might not be able to return!"
"You and Qingying stay in the clan and assist your great-uncle in dealing with any unusual circumstances."
The Second Elder knew the danger of this battle and was extremely reluctant to bring the best talents in the clan. If the brother and sister were to die, the entire Thousand Bone Cave would be without a successor.
Seeing that Gu Xuanchuan and Gu Qingying were silent for a moment, the Grand Elder stepped forward and comforted both sides: "Alright, don't hold a grudge."
"Xuanchuan, Qingying, the safety of the tribe is in your hands until we return."
"..."
Gu Xuanchuan understood the two elders' intentions and nodded in reply, "Please rest assured, Grandfather."
soon.
The reinforcements from Hanling Valley arrived; they were an old man with gray hair, dressed in a sable coat, and holding a pipe.
With his bright, piercing eyes and robust physique, he appeared to be in better spirits than Gu Xuanche and Gu Yu, who were of similar age, and seemed to be about ten years younger.
Yan Baili, the strongest body cultivator in Hanling Valley, is different from his clansmen who cultivate Gu worms and refine poisons. He collects a variety of Gu poisons and medicinal poisons to temper his body, hoping that his flesh and blood will undergo a transformation through repeated tempering, so as to reach the realm of being immune to all poisons.
"Hey gentlemen, it's been a long time! How are you doing?"
Upon meeting, Yan Baili warmly greeted the First Elder and the Second Elder.
"Not bad."
The Grand Elder shook his head and stood up, saying with a faint smile, "Brother Yan, I'll have to trouble you to make this trip."
"This is Jiang, the head of the Sanyi Sect, along with his disciples Chengzhen, Lu Jin, and Weier."
"Oh! Greetings, Master Jiang."
"Senior Yan, you're too kind."
With the introduction of the Grand Elder, the two sides quickly got to know each other and discussed their battle plan.
When Yan Baili learned that Jiang Mo would be facing Luo Wuyuan's ancestor alone, he was worried and suggested:
"Master Jiang, shall I lend you a hand?"
"No need. Within Luo Wuyuan's clan territory, besides their existing powerful members, there might also be elites from the Medicine Immortal Society and the Spirit Insect Valley..."
"But you, the two elders, and my disciples should be careful."
Jiang Mo expressed his concerns:
"When I am fighting the monsters of Luowuyuan, I may not have time to take care of you, but as long as you hold on for a little while, we will win."
"good....."
Yan Baili knew Gu Xuanche's personality well, and seeing that he had no objections, he simply chose to believe him as well.
"I will maintain the secret technique for activating the Blood Source Gu until Sect Leader Jiang finds them."
Gu Ni handed the blood-red butterfly to Jiang Mo and told him about various details that needed attention, as well as the signs that indicated the Gu worm's change of direction.
"Then... everyone, let's set off."
"With this one battle, we will wipe out all the remaining remnants of Luowu."
A bloody battle that shook the southern border was unveiled by Jiang Mo's words, and everyone responded in unison.
"Om-!"
The heavenly kingdom unfolded within a transparent vortex. Jiang Mo gestured for them to enter and wait, as he would be responsible for infiltrating it.
"It's up to you now, Master Jiang."
"Uncle-Master, be careful."
"Master, don't let your guard down..."
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Jiang Mo smiled slightly and said firmly:
"Believe me."
"Will win!"
Chapter 166 A Sword Wiped Out an Entire Clan in Daylight
Under the watchful eyes of Gu Xuanchuan and his sister, as well as the Third Elder, Jiang Mo transformed into a streak of blazing silver light after finishing his words. Ignoring the layers of obstacles in the house, he seemed to ascend to heaven, like a soaring dragon, soaring straight into the sky and disappearing into the star-studded night sky.
Under the bright moon, the vast southern border was illuminated as a silvery-gray ocean, with no end in sight.
The blue spots on the wings of the Blood Source Gu at Jiang Mo's fingertips suddenly shone brightly. The Third Elder in the Thousand Bone Cave was already urging it with all his might, pointing it in the right direction.
"A monster I've never seen before..."
"Let me end your life, which has been a turbulent journey through the years, here and now..."
Jiang Mo was fully activating his Reverse Rebirth and True Law, and he would not underestimate any being of that level.
The night wind howled, and in the blink of an eye, a streak of blazing silver light swept across the sky, like a meteor from outer space heading deep into the southern border.
After crossing numerous mountains and winding rivers, the distance grew ever closer. As it broke through a certain distance limit, the spots on the Blood Source Gu seemed to come alive and began to slowly float.
Jiang Mo knew that this was a characteristic of the destination being only within a thirty-mile radius. He swooped down from the sky, and his pure white true qi instantly transformed into yellowish-brown rock and soil qi.
He was almost like a shadow, moving southwestward, traversing the tree roots, soil, and mountains he saw without the slightest pause.
When the blue dots on the surface of the Blood Source Gu began to flicker, and there were still less than five miles left, Jiang Mo began to slow down and cautiously infiltrate.
In the pitch-black jungle, wanders a colorless, formless, and odorless ghost.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Jiang Mo concealed his Qi to the extreme. In his Qingfeng state, unless certain restrictions were triggered, the Gu cultivators would not be able to detect him, even if they were right in front of him.
The spots on the Blood Source Gu underwent their final transformation; the blue light faded, turning into a deep emerald green, leaving only a little over a thousand meters remaining.
"Buzz!"
Jiang Mo placed the Gu worm into the Heavenly Kingdom with a wave of his hand. He raised his head slightly, gazing at the distant horizon, his pupils reflecting the faint firelight.
The suspected site of the Luowuyuan clan has been reached!
Jiang Mo lightly touched the ground with his right hand, and wisps of Qi flowed like wildly growing tree roots, permeating the soil within a hundred meters radius, but he found no trace of human activity.
Then, the transparent vortex slowly opened beside Jiang Mo, releasing the two elders, Yan Baili, Lu Jin, Chengzhen, and Weir.
"We've arrived, everyone."
Following his gaze, the group saw a village with a dim campfire, which was their destination.
"Master Jiang, how do we get there?"
Gu Xuanche dared not make any rash moves. Even though they were separated by a forest more than a thousand meters away, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
Among the various tribes in the southern borderlands, there are many methods for monitoring the surrounding area of their territory. Ancient traditions like Luo Wuyuan's are highly likely to exist, but it is unknown whether they exist in the form of Gu worms, formations, or something else.
Jiang Mo made a decision: "Wait for me."
"Going there without confirming whether there are hostages or how many Gu cultivators there are would be too risky..."
"I'll go."
As the strongest member of his own faction, he is the most suitable person to go and investigate the situation. Even if he is discovered, he can escape unscathed.
"When shall we attack?" Yan Baili asked.
“From the thirtieth breath after I leave, if the sea of fire does not spread, you may attack.”
"If you see any other movement, don't be alarmed; that's me taking action."
Jiang Mo's plan was that, after confirming that there were no hostages, he would deliver a fatal blow to Luo Wuyuan's evil cultivators, weakening their strength as much as possible to make it easier for his teammates to finish them off.
No one objected. Wildo took out three vials of reagent and gave them to the two elders and Yan Baili to avoid being affected.
"See you later, everyone."
Leaving those words behind, Jiang Mo took a step forward, leaped and disappeared into the dark forest.
Following his instructions, everyone silently counted down the time, becoming increasingly tense.
Contrary to expectations of strict security, Jiang Mo's true qi flowed out continuously and expanded wildly without anyone noticing anything amiss. He traveled as if on flat ground and easily arrived outside the village in the abyss.
He concealed his aura, and what came into view was a dozen figures sitting cross-legged around the campfire, while the altar behind them was empty.
"?"
They wore clothes of various colors and moved freely, looking nothing like hostages.
Just as he was trying to exhale a gentle breeze to lurk in the village, the conversation of several people in the distance made him suddenly stop.
"Brother Han, do they value you so much? They actually entrusted you with the task of capturing the townspeople."
"Not at all, it's nothing, just a small matter. We live close by, so it's not worth mentioning."
"By the way, Brother Han, how many did you arrest?"
"Almost two hundred."
