Chapter 160: Astounding apuse


    Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow


    With a bam, the frenzy lightning wolf fell on the ground like a giant elephant.


    It opened its mouth wide, but its eyes lost focus as life slowly exited its body.


    On its body, there were injuries all over. As wolf blood poured out endlessly, the environment was dyed


    red.


    The rain continued to pour as it diluted the wolf blood, and caused the blood to spread further into the


    ground.


    The ground was muddy, and some elders were standing beside the frenzy lightning wolf corpse, taking


    deep breaths as their bodies were drenched by the rain. They were also covered in wolf blood and


    mud, looking like beggars.


    “Finally killed it!”


    “This frenzy lightning wolf actually had a defensive Gu worm in its body, and was so difficult to take


    down…”


    “Luckily we had elder Fang Yuan’s Blood Moon Gu umting injuries on it, or else it would have


    been even more difficult trying to kill it.”


    When the elders said this, they looked towards Fang Yuan.


    Initially when they heard that Fang Yuan had refined the Blood Moon Gu, they felt disapproving


    towards it. But it seems now that, it was very effective in dealing with frenzy lightning wolves.


    “I am ttered, fellow esteemed elders, if not for your assistance and protection, I would not have been


    able to attack so relentlessly.” Fang Yuan wiped the rain water off his face as he said politely.


    “No, no, it is our duty.”


    “We are old people already. We didn’t feel it before, but after fighting together with elder Fang Yuan, we


    feel that we have truly aged.”


    “Indeed, indeed.”


    The several eldersughed together.


    In this earlier battle, Fang Yuan had a strong grasp of when to attack and retreat. With his ruthless and


    savage attacks, many times his methods were even more effective than normal elders, causing the


    n elders to see him in a different light.


    Especially with his polite and humble attitude and no sense of arrogance, he is definitely not what the


    rumors said – that aloof and unruly person – thus the elders had a good impression of him.


    “I still have many aspects that need to be learnt from all of you,” Fang Yuan said respectfully, but his


    eyes shone with a dark light.


    The Blood Moon Gu had pros and cons.


    After using it for so many times, he had some insights about it.


    The Blood Moon Gu specialized in prolonged battles, causing unheble injuries. As time passed, the


    enemy’s injuries would get more and more severe.


    But this is established on the fact that there is no healing-type Gu worm.


    Nature is bnced, there is no strongest Gu worm. Each Gu was bound to have strengths and


    weaknesses.


    “Blood Moon Gu’s greatest drawback is the few days of the month where it oozes blood and faces a


    rapid drop in battle strength. It is my main attacking method, so this makes it too unstable. But, after I


    get the Chainsaw Golden Centipede in the Flower Wine inheritance ground, I can cover this


    weakness.”


    These few days were a high alert period where the wolf tide continued to attack the vige, so as a n


    elder, Fang Yuan attracted even more attention than before and had no chance to go to that rock


    crack’s secret cave.


    “Quick, save our nsmen!”


    “Sweep the battlefield, don’t miss a single Gu worm!”


    Seeing the frenzy lightning wolf fall, a group of healing Gu Masters immediately came forth.


    “Esteemed elders, you all have exerted yourselves, please ept special treatment from our medicine


    hall.” The leading Gu Master bowed towards Fang Yuan and the elders.


    “Oh… medicine faction’s Li Chen.” The few n elders recognised this person, nodding and changing


    their expression.


    They were courteous to Fang Yuan, putting on a face full of smiles. But towards this person, they kept


    their emotions and disyed the authority of a higher-up.


    This is the difference in status!


    This Gu Yue Li Chen, is only a Rank two Gu Master.


    “I have no injuries, I do not require treatment. Elders, let’s talk again when we are free.” Fang Yuan


    nodded to the elders.


    “Elder Fang Yuan is so outstanding, he’s not even injured from such a battle, what a true young hero!”


    “Sigh,pared to elder Fang Yuan, we are really old.”


    “Hehe, take care of yourself elder Fang Yuan.”


    The few elders started tough as they said.


    “Elder Fang Yuan, please pardon my rudeness, but do allow our medicine hall healing Gu Master to do


    a check up for you,” Gu Yue Li Chen insisted.


    He was a member of the medicine faction, and after Fang Yuan angered Gu Yue Yao Ji to the point of


    fainting, causing her downfall, he naturally had hatred towards Fang Yuan. But with his position and


    job, as the leader he cannot ignore Fang Yuan.


    “Thanks for your goodwill, but it’s fine. I’ll see everyone again!” Fang Yuan patted Gu Yue Li Chen’s


    shoulder, leaving with a smile.


    The elders smiled or nodded to reply him.


    Only after he left did their expression change rapidly, turning solemn.


    This Fang Yuan, although only C grade, had grown to this point, it is truly hard toe by! Fighting


    together with him, they could feel his heartlessness and ruthlessness, but when thinking about it, they


    felt threatened. When they were seventeen, did they have such achievements?


    Especially when they saw him smile as he patted the medicine faction member’s shoulder, such talent


    in politics and scheming, it is truly stunning!


    ……


    “Lord Fang Yuan, do you recognise me?” Along the road, a person showed a respectful expression as


    he greeted Fang Yuan.


    “You are…” Fang Yuan squinted, recognising this person as his ssmate. Only that he could not


    remember the name, but when he extorted primeval stones from him, this person always handed them


    up nicely. It shows his brilliance under that meek personality.


    “Lord Fang Yuan, I am Gu Yue Ding Zong. To have the fortune to be your ssmate, that is my honor.


    Actually, after news that you had advanced to a n elder spread, many of our ssmates admired


    and were envious of you lord, wanting to find an opportunity to discuss cultivation experiences with


    you. Are you free tonight, lord?” Gu Yue Ding Zong rubbed his hands, his eyes smiling into a line.


    “Oh, is that so…” Fang Yuan’s eyebrows raised, nodding, “Okay, but let me change my clothes first,


    this drenched attire is making me ufortable.”


    “I have already prepared warm water and new clothes, and several beautiful attendants are waiting for


    serve you Lord!” Gu Yue Ding Zong smiled, his expression very eager.


    Fang Yuan shook his head to reject, “No, before that, I have to go to the underground tunnel.”


    “Ah I see.” Gu Yue Ding Zong expression changed. The underground tunnel was only essible to the


    n elders, and to people like them, it was a forbidden ground in the n.


    Next, his smile be even more subservient, and his back was arched even further, as his tone


    carried a servant feeling, “Lord, go ahead with your business, this lowly one’s time is not valuable,


    waiting for you is also an honor of mine.”


    Fang Yuan nodded, not speaking anymore and continued to walk away.


    Gu Yue Ding Zong took a step back quickly, opening a path as he bent his back and sent Fang Yuan


    off with his gaze.


    Entering the underground cavern again.


    This secret room that contained precious Gu worms was veryrge, almost as big as the vige


    square.


    But the Gu worms contained inside were not many; there was only a few dozen.


    Cave Deration Grass, Air Return Cicada, Dried Bone Dragonfly, Phoenix Wing Butterfly… there


    were Gu worms varying from Rank two to four.


    It was only that there was very little Rank two Gu, and among them was a Love Separation Gu — this


    is the number 1 poison Gu among the Rank twos, and injuries caused by it cannot be healed even by a


    Rank three healing Gu.


    This Love Separation, is the one Wang Er owned back then. After obtaining it, the n kept it here.


    The most was Rank three Gu, while Rank four Gu was rtively little.


    Fang Yuan did not have high hopes. Although the n had some fortune, it is still a middle-sized n


    and haspetition with two other viges, as well as the pressure of the wolf tide.


    But to think that, he actually found a desirable Gu.


    Tusita flower.


    This was a Rank three grass Gu shaped like a redntern, and had round green leaves. The leaves


    were thick and fat, a total of three pointing at three directions in symmetry.


    This tusita flower is the same as the tusita grass. Not only was it able to store food, but it could also


    store primeval stones and is one of the most ideal Gu in Fang Yuan’s mind.


    “To think that this Gu Yue vige had the tusita flower. With it, I can cover the weakness of storage,”


    Fang Yuan rejoiced, choosing it immediately.


    “Actually, in the vige there definitely is a Rank five Gu. Gu Yue n had two Rank five experts in


    history, they were bound to leave behind some Gu worms. Except they cannot be ced here, these


    Rank five Gu are the trump cards of the vige, fed by the vige with all their resources. Though to


    say ‘feed’, it is actually more like offerings.”

    Fang Yuan left the tunnel. The rain had stopped but the weather was still gloomy. The air was also not


    fresh, as there was the smell of blood.


    Fang Yuan changed to a clean shirt and slowly moved towards the gathering point.


    “Elder Fang Yuan, you are here, it is our greatest honor to have you with us!” Gu Yue Ding Zong stood


    at the door, staring with wide eyes. From afar he could see Fang Yuan walking across the street, and


    he quickly smiled and received him.


    He brought Fang Yuan into the bamboo building. There was already a feast prepared as many people


    were sitting there.


    On seeing Fang Yuan, they quickly got up.


    Soon after, all sorts of praises and ttering rushed like water towards Fang Yuan.


    “Greetings to lord Fang Yuan.”


    “After so long, elder Fang Yuan’s mor is greater than ever, this lowly one truly admires you!”


    “To be lord Fang Yuan’s ssmate, it is my luck from three lifetimes! Even thinking about it now, it feels


    like the experience of a dream…”


    Fang Yuan’s gaze swept across the table, seeing all his ssmates; they were familiar faces, all of


    them people who he had extorted.


    “My pleasure.” He lightly smiled, sitting at the highest position.


    “Serve the dishes, serve the best wine!” Gu Yue Ding Zong shouted, and the servants quickly got to


    work.


    All sorts of dishes were served, their vors top notch; this Gu Yue Ding Zong’s family sure had some


    assets. To be able to serve such dishes during the wolf tide, it showed that he really paid a big price,


    showing his sincerity.


    “Elder Fang Yuan, this lowly one toasts you!”


    “Elder Fang Yuan, take your time to drink, I’ll down this first!”


    Fang Yuan was really very casual. With a cup of wine, he only took a small sip every time, but the


    people had noints towards this.


    After toasting almost everyone and having drunk a decent amount, he suddenly held his cup and stood


    up,ughing, “The young are foolish, I was immature in the past and did some horrible things, I hope


    everyone can forgive me, and do not mind the past.”


    Once he stood up, no one else dared to continue sitting, and all of them quickly got up.


    Everyone knew that the matter Fang Yuan was referring to was the primeval stone extortion.


    They quickly shouted, “Not at all, not at all!”


    “Elder Fang Yuan truly has character, a true hero!”


    “To have my primeval stones eyed by elder Fang Yuan, that is our greatest honor!”


    “That’s right, that’s right, elder Fang Yuan’s mor and heroism has always been engraved in my


    heart…”


    Fang Yuan drank this cup of wine in one mouthful, as everyone cheered and pped.
