"Why are you suddenly ntioning the Ten Thousand Poison Hall?" Knowing Bai Zanhe's personality, she wasn't soone to digress without reason, so I speculated, "Could it be that the Ten Thousand Poison Hall is related to the Corpse Gu?"
The Corpse Gu was extrely difficult to cultivate, and it was also sinister and strange.
Very few people dealt with that thing; I even thought it was a lost art.
Hearing that it still existed in the Miao Border and the Number One Evil Sect, it seed likely that this sect could cultivate such a vile and eerie thing.
When Bai Zanhe heard the words "Ten Thousand Poison Hall," a clear flash of fear passed through her eyes. She looked around cautiously and lowered her voice, "When you ntion... those three words, speak quieter."
From Bai Zanhe's reaction, it seed she was really afraid of the Ten Thousand Poison Hall.
She pulled into a secluded corner where no one was around, fearful of being overheard and bringing trouble upon ourselves, and began speaking carefully, "Wanwan, I've held back these words in my heart for a long ti. I didn't dare to speak before because I was too scared, but... you're about to leave, and if I don't tell you now, I'm afraid it'll be too late."
I knew that what Bai Zanhe was about to say had to be important, so I listened attentively.
"The Corpse Gu is very difficult to cultivate, and even if it is cultivated, it requires over two hundred years. I've only heard that the current person in charge of the Ten Thousand Poison Hall has this gu."
Bai Zanhe said softly, her delicate willow-shaped eyebrows furrowing, "Have you and Xiao Li made enemies with the Ten Thousand Poison Hall?"
"Made enemies with the Ten Thousand Poison Hall? I... this is the first ti I'm hearing this na, let alone Xiao Li." I searched through my mind carefully, certain that I had never heard of the Ten Thousand Poison Hall before Bai Zanhe ntioned it.
I was completely unfamiliar with those three words.
Bai Zanhe fell into deeper thought, "That's strange, although the Ten Thousand Poison Hall has a notorious reputation, they reside deep in the mountains and are elusive. You and Xiao Li are new here; they wouldn't have a reason to harm you... Wait, Wanwan, you... can you speak with Gu Insects?"
"Yes." I nodded.
Bai Zanhe exhaled in sudden realization, "I'm such an idiot; why didn't I think of this sooner! This ans, the blood of the Yan family still flows in your veins, and that explains it."
"I am distantly related to the Yan family. Does the Ten Thousand Poison Hall have a feud with the Yan family?" I thought to myself that it wouldn't be so ridiculous. There should be quite a few surviving mbers of the Yan family.
Even if the Ten Thousand Poison Hall had a feud with the Yan family, they couldn't possibly trouble , a distant relative who wasn't even acknowledged by the Yan family.
Bai Zanhe's gaze grew heavy, and after taking a deep breath, she said, "What you said is correct, but it's too simplistic. The Ten Thousand Poison Hall and the Yan family are ancient enemies, sworn to destroy Tianying Village of the Yan family. But before the Ten Thousand Poison Hall destroys the Yan family... they will first target the Gu Speaker of the Yan family... because..."
She paused for a full ten seconds before continuing, "The Gu Speaker is the fated heir of the Yan family!"
"You... what did you say?!" I felt like I was struck by lightning, thinking I must have misheard.
"You don't... know that you are the heir of the Yan family?!"
Seeing my shock, Bai Zanhe supported her forehead, "The Gu Speaker lineage is rare, appearing once every three generations. If not you, then who would be the heir? Haven't your family told you this?"
"Uh... My family seldom ntions these relatives from the Yan family; this is too abrupt... I need a mont to take this in." Although I was shocked by the idea of this inheritance, I instantly realized one thing deeply.
The Ten Thousand Poison Hall deployed the Corpse Gu to kill the heir.
To destroy the succession of Tianying Village?
Haha, for ... this was an outright disaster!! I didn't even know I was the heir of Tianying Village, and I was already being targeted...
"Anyway, you need to be careful, they will probably co after you again in the future."
