Chapter 317 Teaching Rules Again? Finally Showing Up!

The voice was flat, but extremely gloomy.

The moment Steward Deng heard this, he got goosebumps all over.

Looking closely at the figure, one could see that the person was wearing a large hood and a long robe, making it impossible to see their face clearly.

But the moment the other person spoke, their eyes blinked, and Manager Deng caught a glimpse of a corner of their face—a face that seemed not to be human.

Countless insects were wriggling on my face.

Rather than saying that there are worms on the face, it would be more accurate to say that countless worms make up the face, and even the body itself may be made up of worms!
Because Steward Deng could easily hear rustling sounds on the other person's body, which were obviously the sounds produced by wriggling and friction.

Realizing this, Steward Deng gasped and murmured:
"It's Gu Zhenjun!"

Did Master Li's friend offend Gu Zhenjun?
Gu Zhenjun was also a distinguished guest of the Seven Star Merchant Guild, so he naturally recognized him.

Although Master Li was valued by the Sea Patrol Envoy of Chongyuan, Master Gu was equally valued by the lineage of the Great Venerable, and even more so!

Back then, the other party stayed in Zhenhai City. It is said that it was a garrison commander who made the decision, and even the Insect Valley was given to the other party, which shows the power of Gu Zhenjun.

All the forces within Zhenhai City unanimously believe that if the position of Coastal Patrol Envoy becomes vacant, then Gu Zhenjun is very likely to be the successor.

He sensed things were getting complicated.

However, his status was insufficient to mediate between them. He gripped the communication token in his hand, preparing to notify the Seven Star Merchant Guild's resident True Lord to come and try to mediate.

Just then, Li Zhenren's celestial friend suddenly spoke up:
"This is outrageous! You were the one who started the conflict and injured someone."

Gu Zhenjun's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, but when he spoke again, his voice became a few degrees heavier.

"It is already the greatest mercy that I did not kill him on the spot for claiming to be from the lineage of the Great Venerable. Since Chi Tianshen still refuses to admit his mistake, then I have no choice but to take action on behalf of the lineage of the Great Venerable and teach Chi Tianshen a lesson! This time I will take another arm from the Golden Body of the Heavenly God."

After speaking, Gu Zhenjun subtly sized up Li Wushou.

The other party rode in the Seven Star Merchant Guild's True Lord Flying Chariot straight to the villa, and acted as if he were familiar with the Heavenly God of Huazhou, which attracted the attention of Gu True Lord.

Seeing that the other party was only a Golden Core cultivator and accompanied by only a steward, he figured that the other party was just a junior with a distinguished background, which made him relax.

Even if a junior comes from a distinguished background, it's none of your business to interfere with his affairs!

Moreover, even if a True Monarch or even a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Seven Star Chamber of Commerce were to appear this time, True Monarch Gu would not be afraid at all!

"you!"

Chi Xiu felt extremely aggrieved after hearing this. If he could connect with the Destiny Star, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.
He was about to yell at Gu Zhenjun when Li Wushou stopped him by placing a hand on his shoulder.

Having reviewed Chi Xiu's mental memories over this period, Li Wushou naturally knew the whole story and also understood the person before him quite well.

When Chi Xiu was at the edge of the world, he specifically inquired about Gu Zhenjun.

The conflict between the two and Gu Zhenjun is absurd.

It was when Yunxu Sanren was at Xuankong Mountain that he learned that Li Wushou was a disciple of the Great Venerable.

After arriving in Zhenhai City with Chi Xiu, the other party couldn't help but remark upon being accommodated in the Sifangguan Villa:
"The High Priest is from the lineage of the Great Venerable, yet he is so low-key in Huazhou. He truly has a noble character!"

These words were overheard by Gu Zhenjun, who was passing by. He thought that Yun Xu, a person from another continent, was disrespectful to the Great Venerable by claiming to be from the lineage of the Great Venerable.

A conflict ensued between the two sides, which escalated further after Chi Xiu entered Tianzhiya, leading to the current situation.

It sounds like a coincidence, and the other party seems to have a point.

But why would a Gu Zhenjun who rarely ventures out of the Insect Valley happen to pass by the villa of Sifangguan Huazhou?
Moreover, the other party's behavior from beginning to end was not aimed at solving the problem, but rather seemed to be looking for trouble!

Otherwise, if Yunxu Sanren had simply uttered a slip of the tongue, how could things have come to this?
If the other party were such an eccentric and brainless person, it would be impossible for them to have lived in Zhenhai City for so many years.

So it was someone from the Great Venerable's lineage who gave the instruction?

Moreover, Li Wushou inexplicably felt that this matter was very likely aimed at him.

Otherwise, what would Gu Zhenjun do to Yun Xu and Chi Xiu, one a native of Huazhou and the other a celestial being summoned by the Great Venerable?
Of the three, it seems that he is the only one who has some connection with Zhenhai City.

Before he even arrived in Zhenhai City, someone had already set their sights on him?
Thinking of this, Li Wushou's murderous intent intensified.

Stepping forward slowly, Li Wushou walked up to Chi Xiu, looked down at Gu Zhenjun, and smiled:
"The Great Venerable commands respect throughout the four seas, bringing the twelve continents of the outer seas into the Fubo Domain. Everyone on the twelve continents is proud to be born into the lineage of the Great Venerable. How can you speak such nonsense? It is the True Monarch who has such great power, teaching us the rules on behalf of the Great Venerable's lineage? I want to ask, are these rules yours or the Great Venerable's? Or did the Great Venerable's rules become set by you, a mere True Monarch?"

Upon hearing this, all the spies stationed around turned their gazes toward Li Wushou.

Those who stayed there naturally knew the whole story.

Although Gu Zhenjun was aggressive, he was indeed in the right. The injured Zhenjun claimed that a priest from a city god temple was from the lineage of a great deity. Such nonsense deserved his execution.

Although this is somewhat forceful and seems a bit cruel to the Twelve Continents, what can they do when their strength is so weak?

That's just how the world is!

In a sense, Gu Zhenjun was indeed upholding the dignity of the Great Venerable lineage.

Moreover, the opponent acted with great restraint, only killing the Nascent Soul cultivator. As for the Heavenly God summoned by the Great Venerable, the opponent only severed one of the Golden Body's arms.

This was not a fatal injury for the gods, but rather a humiliation.

It seems to make sense both emotionally and logically!
But a single sentence from this new young man quietly turned the situation around.

The two men's claims about originating from the lineage of the Great Venerable were clearly not the same, but neither could refute the young man's words.

The people of Fubo Domain may look down on the Twelve Continents of the Outer Sea, but anyone who dares to say that the Twelve Continents of the Outer Sea are not under the jurisdiction of the Great Venerable is courting death!

The Great Venerable One personally quelled the demons in the outer sea; do you dare to deny it?
Moreover, this summoning of the gods of the twelve continents clearly indicates that something big is about to happen. Who would dare to openly say something that is detrimental to unity?

Everyone couldn't help but praise her intelligence!
However, many others were dismissive, believing that reasoning was often useless, especially when someone had ulterior motives. Sure enough, after Li Wushou finished speaking, Gu Zhenjun's aura instantly turned cold, a powerful pressure emanating from him and pressing down on Li Wushou, as he coldly said:
"Who are you? How dare you distort my words?"

Li Wushou's expression remained unchanged, and he replied with a smile:
"I am just an ordinary priest of Huazhou who is proud of being born into the lineage of the Great Venerable."

Gu Zhenjun was taken aback upon hearing this. Suddenly, he remembered Chi Xiu's address of "Fellow Daoist Li" earlier. Was he a high-ranking official from Huazhou, surnamed Li? A glint flashed in his eyes, which were hidden by his hood.

He then looked Li Wushou over again, paused, and then shouted sharply:

"How dare you! A mere priest, you dare to insult me?"

Gu Zhenjun completely ignored Li Wushou's words and directly focused the conflict back on him and Li Wushou.

He then unleashed his full power, pressing down on Li Wushou.

Manager Deng looked flustered and was forced to retreat by the violent aura. Chi Xiu was also forced to pause.

Many onlookers had their own thoughts running wild.

See? They're still young after all. You need strength to reason with them! They then set about relaying the latest news back to their respective factions.

Li Wushou stood still, unmoved.

But his expression darkened, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

Although Gu Zhenjun's reaction was subtle and inconspicuous, it was noticed by his gaze, which basically confirmed what he was thinking.

Sure enough, someone was eyeing him.

Since that's the case, let me see who's so curious about me.

Being too curious can be deadly!
With a sharp look in his eyes, Li Wushou's blood and qi surged, and dragon roars resounded within his body, causing the clouds above the courtyard to suddenly shatter.

The onlookers' expressions changed drastically. What kind of qi and blood is this?

You're telling me this is some kind of Golden Elixir?
Gu Zhenjun's heart skipped a beat, and he looked astonished. This priest was different from the information he had received!

But he had no time to think, because Li Wushou's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

Gu Zhenjun's expression turned solemn, and a fist-sized golden beetle in his heart raised its head and hissed.

The onlookers quickly covered their ears and began to back away.

At the same time, worms flew out from under the long robe. These worms were blue all over, about the size of a thumb, and had two pairs of fleshy wings.

The moment it flew out, it enveloped Gu Zhenjun, opened its mouth to reveal sharp teeth and bit through the void, then began to absorb the power of heaven and earth!

The cyan worms swelled up and huddled together, instantly erecting a solid shield of law in front of Gu Zhenjun.

This shield was not only sturdy but also contained a deadly poison. The onlookers felt uneasy after just one glance at it.

Manager Deng shouted anxiously:
"Master Li, be careful! This Gu worm is poisonous!"

He knew that Li Wushou was not afraid of the Styx River, but the Gu worms were another matter, and he was afraid that Li Wushou would suffer a loss due to carelessness.

At the same time, he had some complaints in his heart. Li Zhenren stood up for his friend, but his friend didn't seem to care at all.
The instant Manager Deng finished shouting, a flash of silver light appeared in front of the Shield of the Law, and Li Wushou suddenly appeared.

With a thought, the Dharma Domain burst forth from his body, binding him within a ten-foot radius. The Tai Chi flowed, the Five Elements rotated, and the power of the realm spread out. The unbreakable shield of the Gu worm's Dharma Domain shattered with a roar, directly annihilating it into powder, which scattered throughout the world.

The powder that instantly scatters in front of the villa has corroded a pit, and the surrounding trees and flowers have died instantly.

Li Wushou remained expressionless as he stepped through the powder-filled area and stood before Gu Zhenjun.

Gu Zhenjun cried out in shock:
"Boundary Force?"

The onlookers were immediately in an uproar. A Golden Core cultivator suddenly being able to control the power of the realm? This change and leap was too great, causing their thoughts to freeze for a moment.

Ignoring Gu Zhenjun's exclamation, Li Wushou's gaze pierced through Gu Zhenjun's body and finally locked onto the golden beetle inside Gu Zhenjun's heart.

"Confinement!"

With a murmur, Gu Zhenjun suddenly froze in place.

Taking advantage of the situation, Li Wushou plunged his arm directly into Gu Zhenjun's heart.

"laugh!"

The moment his hand was pulled out, a golden beetle was tightly gripped in his palm; this was Gu Zhenjun's natal Gu worm.

With a slight exertion, the golden beetle struggled violently, and Gu Zhenjun also howled in pain.

Li Wushou gazed down at the golden beetle in his palm and asked softly:
"Tell me, who told you to sabotage the friendship between the Twelve Outer Continents and the Fubo Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenjun, enduring the excruciating pain, replied:
"I just couldn't stand that True Monarch's nonsense, I didn't mean it that way..."

A smile appeared on Li Wushou's lips as he slowly said:

"Don't like it? Then die!"

The moment he finished speaking, cracks suddenly appeared on the body of the golden beetle in his palm. Li Wushou was about to crush Gu Zhenjun's natal Gu without hesitation!

This decisiveness and ruthlessness chilled Gu Zhenjun to the bone and terrified the onlookers!
Just then, a sharp shout came from the sky:

"Stop! I am Luo Ze, the patrol envoy of the Western Sea Vein. Who is causing trouble here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou's smile remained unchanged. He looked up at the sky and murmured:
"Have they finally shown up?"
