The mbers of the Gu Sect all wore solemn expressions, as if they never expected the young man before them to make an appearance.
"He is Tan Shou, the one who placed the Gu on !" Jiang Hongyi’s voice reached Xu Wendong’s ears.
Xu Wendong felt a sense of relief.
The man before him looked to be in his twenties, standing about six feet tall, with sharp brows and starry eyes, strikingly handso, yet his face bore an unnaturally pale hue.
His entire being emitted a cold aura that was unsettling.
And behind him followed ten grandmaster-level experts.
Tan Shou smiled amusedly at Miao Tan, "Master, today is a day of renewal and celebration, a ti for family reunion. Your disciple should celebrate this joyous occasion with you!"
Miao Tan shouted angrily, "You are no longer a disciple of the Gu Sect. What right do you have to attend today’s banquet? Get lost!"
A flicker of cold light flashed through Tan Shou’s eyes, "You old geezer, do you think I’m afraid of you?"
"Tan Shou, you ungrateful wretch, how dare you speak to your master like this? Are you trying to overthrow your master and ancestors?" Xue Jing, Miao Tan’s first disciple, shouted angrily.
Tan Shou glared at him, "Calling you senior brother is giving you face. In my eyes, you’re nothing. If you don’t want to die, shut your filthy mouth!"
"You’re courting death!" Xue Jing burned with rage. In an instant, dozens of red Gu worms flew out from behind him, consisting of poisonous bees and mosquitoes, swirling behind him and emitting a sharp noise.
"Senior Brother, with your little tricks, I’m afraid you can’t hurt at all!" Tan Shou grinned playfully.
And then,
A blood-colored butterfly flew out.
The butterfly was about the size of a palm, with blood-red eyes the size of mung beans, devoid of any emotional color.
As soon as it appeared, Xue Jing’s Gu insects retreated into his clothes as if they had encountered a terrifying predator.
"You actually refined a Blood Butterfly into a Lifespan Gu Insect?" Miao Tan’s eyes were full of shock.
The Blood Butterfly was a unique poisonous insect found in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
However, it was rare even there.
The Blood Butterfly was not only fiercely toxic but also the bane of all flying insects; any flying Gu insect would surrender without fighting upon seeing it.
Tan Shou laughed, "Master, with your disciple’s current abilities, can I not take the position of Sect Leader of the Gu Sect?"
"Can I not lead the Gu Sect to beco the leader of The Outer Eight Sects?"
As he spoke, everyone’s faces changed simultaneously.
They all had a premonition, fearing that Tan Shou intended to usurp control, beco the Sect Leader of the Gu Sect, and then subdue The Outer Eight Sects with overwhelming force.
In the past, they would indeed be apprehensive. Not only had Tan Shou’s prowess in Gu Art long surpassed that of Yue Qian Mountain, but the ten grandmaster-level experts behind him also exerted a formidable oppressive force.
But now...
Did they need to fear them?
Even though Tan Shou had ten grandmaster-level experts behind him,
The Life-Seeking Sect had sixty-eight disciples, all grandmaster-level experts.
Furthermore, there was Xu Wendong, the mysterious Taoist master. So what could Tan Shou possibly do?
Miao Tan took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, forcing a smile, "I won’t stop you from becoming the leader of The Outer Eight Sects, but you need to ask the Grand-Uncle-Master!"
"Because he is now the leader of The Outer Eight Sects."
In truth, Miao Tan wished he could eliminate this mischievous disciple with his own hands.
However,
He had just attempted to summon his Lifeworm Gu, but it seed like it was out of touch.
At that mont, he knew.
He was most likely already afflicted by a Gu.
After all, even he was ashad of being outdone by Tan Shou’s Gu placing skills.
This was a prodigy in the history of the Gu Sect who could surpass Yue Qian Mountain.
Unfortunately, his heart was not in the right place!
For this reason, he aid to use Xu Wendong to eliminate Tan Shou.
"The Grand-Uncle-Master you speak of, could it be this young man?" Tan Shou fixed his gaze on Xu Wendong.
He could see that Xu Wendong was seated in the place of honor, while the other seven sect leaders were rely supporting cast.
"Indeed, his na is Xu Wendong, the Sect Leader of the Life-Seeking Sect, the highest-ranking figure in The Outer Eight Sects today." Jiang Hongyi remarked with a half-smile, "There’s sothing you might not know. The Gu you placed on , he’s the one who helped dissolve it."
Tan Shou looked utterly surprised, with a gleam of coldness flashing in his eyes. He gritted his teeth, "So you ruined my plans, huh? In that case, let’s settle the scores, both old and new!"
Saying this, he waved his right hand.
Instantly,
a grandmaster-level expert lunged toward Xu Wendong like a leopard hunting prey, moving at a speed that was impossible to guard against.
Even Liu Cheng’an, beside Xu Wendong, tried to intercept, but he felt a stabbing pain inside, as if sothing had confined his ridians.
Tan Shou sneered, "I advise you all not to attempt to activate your internal energy because you’ve all been infected with my Gu insects. Once you attempt to use internal energy, you will experience a fate worse than death!"
At these words,
Everyone’s expression changed, especially the grandmaster-level experts, who attempted to activate their internal energy, but just as Tan Shou had said,
once they did, they felt an excruciating pain as if their bodies were being torn apart.
That feeling made them prefer death over life.
There was also a feeling of foreboding.
Because in this way, even though they were all grandmaster-level experts, in front of Tan Shou, they resembled lambs awaiting slaughter.
Seeing that the grandmaster-level expert was getting closer and closer to Xu Wendong, everyone beca increasingly anxious, fearing that Xu Wendong would be in danger.
However,
Xu Wendong rely sat there calmly, and as the opponent appeared before him, a trace of disdain curled at the corner of his mouth.
"Scram!"
A thunderous voice suddenly resonated, loud and powerful.
The next mont,
the grandmaster-level expert spewed blood from his seven orifices, collapsing instantly and clutching his head while uttering a heart-wrenching scream.
The sudden incident left Tan Shou with widened eyes, gleaming with disbelief; he hadn’t expected Xu Wendong’s strength to be so terrifying.
Others, however, displayed looks of exhilaration. Even though Tan Shou ca in with an overwhelming montum, the Grand-Uncle-Master had never taken him seriously from the start.
"Stop wasting ti, let those nine behind you co at once!" Xu Wendong casually picked up a pair of chopsticks, took a bite of sea cucumber, and started eating.
It had to be said, the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the hotel was quite delicious.
Tan Shou, humiliated and enraged, directly ordered the nine grandmaster-level experts to attack Xu Wendong, "Tear this guy apart for , chop him into at and make dumplings to eat!"
"Yes!"
The nine responded with resounding voices, emanating a strong murderous intent; under the tense gaze of the crowd, they charged forward.
Ti seed to stand still, and the atmosphere beca oppressively heavy, creating an almost suffocating illusion.
Just when everyone thought Xu Wendong would get hurt, he leisurely put down his chopsticks and then snapped his fingers!
Snap!
The crisp sound echoed suddenly.
In an instant, the nine grandmaster-level experts froze like statues as if soone had pressed a pause button on them; they couldn’t move at all.
Yet, from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths, black blood trickled slowly.
