After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 136 Borrow

[Furthermore, the descendants of the Gu family genuinely respected the Hunyuan Monkey. It remained free within the Gu family, never imprisoned or tortured; it voluntarily stayed and willingly gave its blood to the Gu family. The Gu family was quite kind, even setting their own rules: no more than twice a month could they take blood from the Hunyuan Monkey, and no more than ten drops each time.]

As for Gu Su, he truly regarded the Hunyuan Monkey as family. Knowing its blood could cure all poisons, he only ever took its blood twice in his entire life.

No wonder the Primordial Monkey was willing to stay.

Mo Jiuwei was somewhat moved.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Immortal Sect finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be the case.

They thought the Gu family was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and after learning the effects of the monkey blood, they imprisoned it and forced it to serve the Gu family.

It turned out that things weren't as shady as they thought; everything was done voluntarily by the monkey.

Since they themselves have reached an agreement, outsiders don't need to judge it.

The Gu siblings noticed the brief change in the expressions of the people from the Immortal Sect, but they didn't know the reason. They assumed that they were also anxious about the sacred beast's illness, just like themselves, and they were even more moved.

“We roughly understand the situation, but how can Wu Shen help with this?” Liu Feng asked, calming himself down.

"Because the Gu worm is located in the sea of ​​consciousness, we have tried every possible method, but we have been unable to lure it out without harming the sacred beast."

Gu Qingxiu held back her tears and said in a hoarse voice, "We even found the successor of the Gu King for this, but even she said she had no solution, because once this kind of Gu worm enters the eye and the sea of ​​consciousness, it will not come out until it has eaten the brain."

"Appealing to the eye?" Du Yue asked, puzzled.

"Yes, we only found out after asking that this Gu worm is called Sand God Gu. It is about the size of a grain of sand. When it gets in the eye, it will make people think that the sand is in their eyes. Even cultivators with high cultivation levels cannot defend against it when it gets in front of them. By the time they realize it, it is too late."

It enters the body through the eyes and then gradually erodes the brain.

This method was so obscure that even the Gu family took several days to understand it.

Gu Mingyu nodded. "Yes, it's precisely because it's so small and still in the sea of ​​consciousness that there are almost no other options available. Our Gu family's poisons are completely useless. We searched through ancient books for a solution, and then we found information about the existence of the Black God Spirit Fire in one of them."

The Black God's Spirit Fire is very mysterious. Most people who see it will not realize that it is a spirit fire and will think it is a cloud of black smoke.

However, since it has existed for so long and has been unclaimed, there will always be people who have seen it and recorded it.

When the Gu family saw the characteristics of this spiritual fire, they were extremely excited because they realized that this might be the only chance to save the Hunyuan Monkey!

"Did you know beforehand that the Black God Spirit Fire was in the Yue family's possession?" Liu Feng asked.

If that's the case, then the Gu siblings' trip to the villa was intentional, unlike the others who were temporarily conscripted.

“Yes, after we learned that the Black God Spirit Fire might be useful, we searched everywhere and even used our connections to buy information from the Asking Heaven Pavilion. That’s how we found out that the Black God Spirit Fire was in Shihan City, but at the time we didn’t know it belonged to the Yue family.” Gu Qingxiu nodded with red eyes. “It was also a coincidence that when we went there, we happened to run into He Fei secretly gathering people, so we went with the flow.”

"So you knew what the Yue family was planning all along?" Hu Jiu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I can guess a thing or two." Gu Mingyu nodded. "The spiritual attack of the Black God Spirit Fire is too powerful. To subdue it, one must have an equally powerful spiritual sense. This cannot be done by simply piling up some spiritual sense-type magic artifacts. Since the Yue family has decided to take action and has gathered so many people, their intentions are self-evident."

It's nothing more than a human wave tactic: wear them down first, then take them down.

Knowing this, the Gu siblings lay in wait among the crowd, quietly searching for an opportunity.

At this point in their conversation, some things didn't need to be said; both sides understood each other implicitly.

The Gu siblings' plan was like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; they would let those people risk their lives to wear them down, and then find a suitable opportunity to steal the spirit fire.

As for saving people, they never even considered it.

In other words, if the people of the Immortal Sect were just ordinary cultivators, then even if they all died there, the Gu siblings would not help them.

This might seem somewhat cold and heartless, but the people from the Immortal Sect only felt a little uncomfortable and had no intention of pursuing the matter further.

It's only natural for them to do this; on one hand, there's the sacred beast in their home, and on the other hand, there are unrelated people. Of course, the former is more important.

Just like Mo Jiuwei, who watched over a hundred people die in front of her without intervening.

To reiterate: if they hadn't come tonight, and someone else had, wouldn't those hundred-plus people have died?

Knowing this, neither side brought it up, but the Gu siblings still looked apologetic.

"I see." A look of understanding crossed Liu Feng's eyes, but he didn't say anything, only nodded.

The Gu siblings finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So we want to borrow the spirit fire. Only the Black God Spirit Fire can reach the sea of ​​consciousness through the body! The spirit fire has a spirit. As long as someone controls it, it can kill the Gu worms from a distance without harming the sea of ​​consciousness of the sacred beast. That way, the sacred beast can be saved!"

Gu Qingxiu knelt down, pleading, "Please, please save it! Our Gu family will agree to any conditions for this, and from now on, the Gu family will provide you with any poisons free of charge!"

While other members of the Gu family might be concerned about the life or death of the Hunyuan Monkey Blood because of its effects, Gu Qingxiu was completely different.

When she was little, she secretly ran up the mountain to play and almost accidentally stumbled into the Hunyuan Monkey's hut. She was stopped by the guards who heard the noise and they even tried to drive her down.

Although Gu Qingxiu was a legitimate young lady, she was useless in front of Hunyuan Monkey. Even the head of the family had to be respectful to it, let alone a little child.

But just as Gu Qingxiu was about to leave, the door to Hunyuan Monkey's hut opened, and the somewhat old monkey with kind eyes waved to her.

The guards were stunned and looked very surprised. After a while, they stammered, "The sacred beast... wants you to pass."

No one knows how Gu Qingxiu caught the eye of Hunyuan Monkey, but from then on she had the honor of visiting it once or twice a month.

At the same age, her older brother Gu Mingyu didn't receive the same treatment. Hunyuan Monkey treated him no differently than anyone else, giving him no chance to get close.

For Gu Qingxiu, blood and gore didn't matter. All she knew was that Hunyuan Monkey was a kind elder to her, the only one who could listen to her talk to herself all day without getting annoyed or interrupting her.
