Chapter 216. Green Copper Relic Gu | Reverend Insanity

The once lively Qing Mao mountain had turned into a world of ice and snow. Such a change had long attracted the attention and investigations of nearby forces. In these few months, news of Qing Mao mountain being destroyed had gradually spread far."I don't dare to recall, every time I think of it, it feels so painful." Fang Yuan sat down, his face full of grief."Servants, bring the wine." Seeing Fang Yuan unwilling to speak, Bai clan leader did not pursue the matter, but ordered her servants to bring two vats of wine.Bai Ning Bing was indifferent, she never drank wine, only water.Fang Yuan opened the seal immediately, gulping and drinking a mouthful as his tears fell once again.Bai clan leader was stunned: "Junior, why are you crying again?""Your clan's wine is intoxicating, but it makes me recall our green bamboo wine and of those days when I drank on Qing Mao mountain." Fang Yuan wiped his tears as he said.The clan elders' sighs became even louder, and many started consoling Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan's encounter caused them to feel a sense of resonance. After all, Bai clan's spirit spring was starting to dry out, and if they couldn't find a new spirit spring, Gu Yue clan's sorry state would be their Bai clan's future.Bai clan leader consoled him once more, only then did Fang Yuan stop crying."Who would not feel pain when their home is destroyed? I can understand junior's feelings. But as long as people remain, there is hope. Junior, don't grieve. I believe that in a few days, you will be reunited with your clansmen." Bai Mo Xing probed.Fang Yuan acted as if he was unaware, wiping his tears and answering casually: "Yeah, it should be in a few days."Hearing this reply, Bai Mo Xing and Bai clan leader glanced at each other.After the banquet, Bai clan leader called Bai Mo Xing and entered a secret discussion."Clan leader, the situation is bad. Gu Yue village was destroyed, why did these remaining people come to Bai Gu mountain? It is likely that they want to snatch this territory, should we strike first instead?" Bai Mo Xing was worried."Hehehe." Bai clan's female leader laughed lightly instead.Bai Mo Xing was bewildered: "Why is clan leader laughing?"The female clan leader squinted and explained: "Don't be rash Elder Mo Xing, this situation has boon and bane. As long as we operate this well, we can save much effort."Bai Mo Xing started to ponder the clan leader's words deeply.That's right!Bai clan's spirit spring was running dry after so many years of usage. They needed to find a new spirit spring as soon as possible, and this time they were searching for a suitable spring on Bai Gu mountain under the cover of hunting.Bai clan's main group had just arrived and could not find anything yet. But if Gu Yue clan's remnants were coming to Bai Gu mountain, they had to know some intel.It could even be deduced that Gu Yue clan definitely held information on that spirit spring.Bai clan leader saw Bai Mo Xing's expression change and continued: "Looks like you got it. Actually, any large mountain is a gathering of primeval essence, and thus a spirit spring will be there. But to find the spirit spring's specific location, it is not easy and requires a lot of manpower and resources.""There are Fang, Liao and Fan clan around our Bai clan, they are all strong clans with equal power. If the matter about our Bai clan's spirit spring running dry gets out, they will take advantage of the situation and attack our weakness, thus we decided earlier that we have to secretly find the spirit spring's location under the guise of a hunting competition. But by doing this, we are greatly restricted and have to expend even greater manpower and resources in searching for the spirit spring."Bai clan leader was full of worries, but could not express her helplessness.Bai Mo Xing continued: "Thus, clan leader wants to obtain information about the spirit spring from Gu Yue clan?""That's right." Bai clan leader nodded, her eyes shining brightly: "Gu Yue clan's leader and elders won't be easy to deal with, but with those two youngsters in our control? This is a godsend opportunity!"Bai Mo Xing frowned: "But, I see that those two are not stupid. That lass is obviously one of those iron-willed stubborn type, while that young lad, although weak, was unfazed in dangerous situations, being calm at all encounters. The first time we met, even when he was surrounded by us, he did not show a hint of panic. It will not be easy if we want them to divulge information."Bai clan leader chuckled: "If he did not have such composure, how would he be a clan's young master? These two young masters are very outstanding, but if they weren't, I would be doubting their identities."Bai Mo Xing continued: "Thus, you have to think twice clan leader. If we interrogate them forcefully, they might not submit to us. With the traces they left behind, Gu Yue clan will be here soon. These are the type of desperate people with nothing to lose, except their lives."Bai clan leader waved her hand: "That is not a worry, clan elder, I have a plan.""Oh? This old one shall listen."Bai clan leader said it softly while Bai Mo Xing's old eyes kept on getting brighter.After Bai clan leader finished, Bai Mo Xing could not help but praise: "This is a good plan! I saw that Gu Yue Fang Zheng is very attached to his clan, he even cried twice for his clan in the banquet. He is after all a youngster, clan leader, this plan that you came up with is like placing honey in front of a young bear or placing a carrot before a young rabbit. There will be no issues getting him hooked."———————————————————————-Fang Yuan opened a corner of the tent's cover.It was night time already, but Bai clan's temporary camp was well lit.The tents were placed perfectly in order, with iron racks and torches at every certain distance, and patrolling gu master groups all night round."Young master Fang Zheng, what is the matter?" Fang Yuan had just opened the cover, and the two guards at the door immediately walked over.Fang Yuan burped out some wine: "I drank a lot of wine at the banquet, is there anywhere I can relieve myself?""Young master, right this way. You are our esteemed guest, the clan leader has arranged a special spot for you, no further than thirty steps away." One of the guards immediately said."Give me a direction, I do not like anyone near me when i pee." Fang Yuan rejected."I do not dare to disobey young master, the wooden lavatory is right there." The guard pointed towards it, bowed and left.Fang Yuan got to the wooden lavatory, and after peeing, he pretended to be drowsy and walked in an opposite direction. He was not even twenty steps out when a few patrolling Gu Masters came over: "Esteemed guest, that is the wrong direction, your tent is over there.""Is that so? I remembered it was there." Fang Yuan burped."Esteemed guest, this way please." Bai clan gu masters smiled hypocritically, with a forceful tone.Fang Yuan was brought back to the tent again.In the tent, the lights were turned on.There were two beds on eastern and western side in the tent. Bai Ning Bing was sitting on her bed and cultivating, using primeval essence to nurture her aperture.Hearing Fang Yuan enter, she opened her eyes, inquiring with her gaze.Fang Yuan glanced at her, before falling down on the bed: "Ning Bing, sleep early. You were exhausted these few days. Don't worry, we will join up with our clansmen in few days."His words slurred at the end, and eventually he closed his eyes, snoring, evidently falling asleep.Bai Ning Bing's pupils shrunk. She knew Fang Yuan was acting, purposely saying that as a precaution against any surveillance type Gu worms. He had gone out earlier to pee, but returned so early which meant the area was tightly secured and it was impossible for them to escape quietly in dark.She couldn't help but be worried. Although she was at rank three peak stage, her Gu worms were not optimal, causing her battle strength to be insufficient.While in this camp, Bai clan leader was at rank four, and there are five to six clan elders, and a lot of rank two Gu masters." To be meat on somebody's chopping board. " That was the current situation. Although Bai clan was a righteous faction, people die for fortune and birds die for food, once the benefits exceeded the risk, they would definitely commit murder in secret.Bai Ning Bing knew the Gu worms in Fang Yuan's possession were all extremely rare. Heavenly essence treasure lotus, blood skull Gu, once exposed, would definitely attract the greed of Bai clan Gu Masters.The reason they did not act yet was because Fang Yuan used the threat of the non existent Gu Yue clansmen to temporarily lie to them.A few days later, when they do not see Gu Yue clansmen arrive, they would be suspicious. By then, Fang Yuan and her would be at a tight spot."How do I get out of this predicament?" Bai Ning Bing frowned, staring at Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan had already turned around, his back facing her, and he seemed to have really slept from the sound of his relaxed breathing."You sure take it easy!" Bai Ning Bing snorted, feeling anxious and helpless in her heart.————————————————————–The next day. It was a bright sunny day.There were three loud drum beats which signified the Bai clan leader summoning the clansmen."Our Bai clan annual hunting competition starts from today and will continue for the next seven days, it is time for you to display your strength. According to our rules, those who get a decent ranking will be heavily rewarded! Next, feel free to display all your bravery and strength."Bai clan leader waved her hand, and the village gates opened. The Gu Masters were eager to start the competition, rushing out impatiently.Not long later, they entered the forest from their respective positions, vanishing into the wilderness.The crowded camp had become more spacious and empty."Junior Fang Zheng, did you sleep well last night?" Bai clan leader turned around, asking Fang Yuan with a smile.Fang Yuan cupped his fist: "Thank you clan leader for the hospitality. Last night I fell asleep immediately after lying down, and it was morning already when I woke up.""Hahaha." Bai clan leader smiled, patting Fang Yuan's shoulders, giving off a kind and affectionate feeling: "Does junior want to enter our clan's hunting competition? Let us see the valor of a Gu Yue clansman!"Fang Yuan showed a difficult expression, rejecting: "I am ashamed! Junior was heavily injured not too long ago, and my cultivation fell from rank three. Thankfully I was saved by the clan, but now I only have rank one middle stage cultivation."Even without Fang Yuan mentioning it, his rank one aura was clear to the eyes."No worries junior. As our clan's esteemed guest, you will definitely be well treated. How about this, as long as junior can hunt an adult black bear, this green copper relic Gu will be your reward." Bai clan leader clapped her hand, and a Gu Master beside her opened his palm, as a finger-sized round ball shaped Gu emerged.Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, but showed an earnest expression: "Then this junior shall take up the invitation!"

Chapter 217. Giving others a hold on oneself | Reverend Insanity

Howl!In the forest, a plump black bear as large as two meters was standing on its two legs.It growled towards Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing, but the two were indifferent, causing the black bear to become furious. It landed on all fours and pounced towards the two youngsters.Do not be fooled by the bear's clumsy looks, its running speed was, in fact, very fast – twice the speed of ordinary humans.Seeing the black bear nearing fifty steps from him, Fang Yuan's lips curled up into a smile as if he had achieved his target.Bam.With a loud bang, soil was sent flying.The black bear cried out pitifully, its advancement came to a stop as if it had suffered a blow to the head.Overcame by anger due to suffering such an absurd attack, it quickly changed to another direction and rushed towards Fang Yuan once again.But after only stepping out for ten steps, the ground exploded again.Howl!The black bear's chest was blown to a bloody mess, its eyes turned red as its rage reached a tipping point, rushing forward once again."A wild beast after all, lacking in intelligence." Fang Yuan sighed as he retreated.The black bear chased relentlessly, but there would be an explosion every few steps it took.After rushing for another few dozen steps, the black bear's body was full of injuries with none of its fur intact. It was limping as its four limbs were crippled, there was no longer the fearsomeness of before.Its anger had subsidaed, and the instinct for survival kicked in.Even though Fang Yuan was standing no further than twenty steps away, it chose to retreat.But Fang Yuan had already anticipated its retreating path, and dug a deep hole on the path, burying at least five Charred Thunder Potato Gu in there.BOOM!With a loud explosion, the battle ended.At the same time, in the tent, wisps of smoke hovered in the air..In the smoke, images flashed, as they portrayed the process of Fang Yuan's battle in real time."Elder Mo Xing, what do you think?" Bai clan leader spoke after the battle ended.Only she and Bai Mo Xing were inside the tent."If I am not wrong, this Gu Yue clan young master is using the Charred Thunder Potato Gu? This Gu is an expendable type, absorbing energy from the ground to grow, and explodes after impacted with vibrations. Among rank two Gu worms, it has strong attacking power but this Gu is severely weakened on Bai Gu mountain. Bai Gu mountain has no soil, and even the mountain rocks are made of bones, the Charred Thunder Potato Gu cannot be planted." Bai Mo Xing continued evaluating.Bai clan leader shook her head: "You analyzed well, but that's not the point. Did you not notice, Fang Zheng did everything by himself – from burying the Charred Thunder Potato Gu to the end of the battle. He has a rank three bodyguard but chose to use the rank two Charred Thunder Potato Gu himself through a tedious process. Every time he buries a seed, he has to use primeval stones to recover his primeval essence, but he insists on doing it himself, what does that say?"Bai Mo Xing's eyes shone: "I understand, this Fang Zheng is an upright person, not one of those who like to scheme and skive. He agreed to enter the hunting competition, thus no matter how hard it is, he will not use outside forces to cheat.""Scheming and skiving characters have weak will, while upright characters are indomitable. If we want to find out the location of the spirit spring from these two people, the best way is to do so is indirectly, by using our wits. Hehe, my confidence in last night's plans have increased again." Bai clan leader smiled.———————————————————"Luckily I was able to accomplish my goals." After half an incense was burnt through, Fang Yuan placed a torn bear skin in front of the Bai clan leader."Hehehe, in such a short time, junior managed to kill an adult black bear, as expected of Gu Yue clan's young master." Bai clan leader's face showed a trace of shock, which immediately turned into a smile."Junior might as well go back to rest, the Green Copper Relic Gu will be sent over shortly.""Thank you clan leader, this junior will take his leave."Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing moved out of the central tent and back to their tent.Soon after, a Gu Master brought over the Green Copper Relic Gu.Fang Yuan took it, and immediately used it on the spot, raising his cultivation from middle to upper stage.Gu Master's small realms were easy to break through and was just a matter of efforts and time. Big realms, however, needed aptitude to breakthrough.Relic Gu, Stone Aperture Gu along with many other Gu worms could reduce the time needed by Gu Master to raise their cultivation.As for rank one upper stage, it is still rank one. This small growth could not change or affect the situation at all.At night, Bai clan leader organized a banquet again, inviting Fang and Bai.Bai clan's tradition was to hold banquets everyday during the hunting competition. Large bonfire banquets were held in the open areas. As for the small banquet in the central tent, only the first few ranked participants would be invited.But because Fang and Bai had different identities, they still remained on the guest seats."Come, let me introduce to junior our clan's rising star. You youngsters should interact with each other." During the banquet, Bai Mo Xing started the conversation.There were four youngsters in the tent; two males and two females, all were rank three Gu Masters.One of the guys was Bai Mo Xing's nephew, Bai Mo Ting; he had a slim body and was ranked third in today's hunting.Among the two girls, one was called Bai Cao Shuai who looked very careless, but was ranked fourth. The other was called Bai Lian, she had white skin and thick eyebrows which gave her a fresh aura; she was the most beautiful girl in Bai clan.The two girls sat opposite each other, forming a stark contrast."Bai Zhan Lie greets the two esteemed guests." A young male Gu Master took the initiative and stole the words out of Bai Mo Xing's mouth.He was muscular and his manners contained arrogance along with strong battle intent. Looking at Fang and Bai, he first paused at Fang Yuan before showing a smile of disdain. Next his gaze was locked onto Bai Ning Bing.Bai Ning Bing was like a snow fairy with her silver hair and blue eyes, surpassing Bai Lian in terms of beauty. More importantly, she was at rank three peaks stage, attracting Bai Zhan Lie's attention.He snorted: "It seems that your Gu Yue clan has strong women and weak men?"Bai Ning Bing was like an ice block, showing no reaction.Fang Yuan's expression turned cold and slightly ugly.Bai clan leader interrupted: "This is the number one youth expert in our clan, junior don't blame him for his inconsiderate words.""Of course not." Fang Yuan moved his lips, facing Bai clan leader: "Brother Zhan Lie is a dragon among men, I am deeply amazed."His tone was complex, and his expression was perfectly displayed; some tolerance due to being under others' roof, the helplessness of his own weak cultivation and some indignant pride of a youngster.Even Bai Ning Bing was taken by surprise.Bai Zhan Lie snorted, while Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart.He knew the Bai clan situation, but Bai clan did not know his true trump cards. The situation might seem dire for him, but he had a strong grasp on the advantage he had – information."How to make good use of this advantage, that is the key to getting out of our predicament. Green Copper Relic Gu is a good sign, showing that Bai clan is worried about the non-existent Gu Yue clan remnants. They do not want to do it by force, but instead trick and manipulate us. Is this Bai Zhan Lie the next chess piece? Now that I think about it, his tone earlier was too forceful.""If he really is the Bai clan's next move, there will be some problems. I might as well give my 'handle' to them, and expose my 'weakness'…"If he allowed the Bai clan to set up traps this casually, Fang Yuan would no doubt fall into a more passive situation.Instead, he might as well give others a hold on himself, and expose some fake weaknesses, to gain some initiative.Thinking so, Fang Yuan's gaze swept through the tent, a ploy brewing in his scheming mind.He looked at Bai Lian, opposite him.After staring for a while, Bai Lian seemed to have noticed his gaze, but Fang Yuan turned his head over, seemingly observing something else.As the banquet continued, Fang Yuan took peeks at Bai Lian from time to time, but avoided eye contact with her.When the banquet was almost over, Fang Yuan peeked more often.This situation was easily noticed by the Bai clan leader, and some clan elders.The clan elders showed some amusement in their eyes.It was a common thing for youths to get infatuated. Bai Lian was the beauty of Bai clan, it was natural for her to attract the attention of Gu Yue clan young master.After the banquet was over, Bai Mo Xing excitedly went to see the clan leader: "Clan leader, did you see what happened during the banquet?"Bai clan leader smiled: "Let me plan a bit more."The night passed by silently.During the second day of the hunting competition, Bai clan leader called Fang Yuan again, telling him to hunt a earth horn rhino.Fang Yuan reenacted the same method, using the Charred Thunder Potato Gu and blasting the earth horn rhino, bringing back its horn.Bai clan leader praised him and rewarded him with a Clearing Heat Gu.Clearing Heat Gu was like an armored worm fossil, with a half transparent jade rock texture. He felt a cool air passing on to him when he held it in his hand.This Gu was a rank two healing Gu, used to cure poison.Fang Yuan had finally fixed his greatest weakness after getting this Gu.During the campfire banquet that night."This is my son and daughter. Bai Sheng, Bai Hua, stand up and toast this brother." Bai clan leader said.A pair of twins stood up, raising their cups like an adult, saying together: "Bai Sheng (Bai Hua) toasts Gu Yue young master."They bowed slightly with a solemn expression, showing their good upbringing. There was no hint of any childishness.Fang Yuan was slightly stunned and sized up this pair of siblings attentively.According to his previous life, these two kids would be the famous Righteous Twin Stars, their fame would last a long period of time. Both cultivated to rank 5 and expanded the Bai clan village to an unprecedented height.At the same time, they were the inheritors of the Bai Gu mountain inheritance, and Bai Sheng even became the Bai clan leader eventually.In a clan, the clan leader position was usually inherited by the clan leader's own children. But for Gu Yue village, where the clan leader does not have children, they would choose an outstanding youngster from their pure bloodline descendants.People have a growing process. Bai Sheng and Bai Hua might be grand heroes in the future, but now they were still too young, not even students yet.Fang Yuan retracted his gaze and concentrated on Bai Lian again.The banquet continued.During the period, Fang Yuan continued to peek on Bai Lian, as Bai Zhan Lie continued to find problems, his tone haughtier than before. Bai Mo Xing's nephew Bai Mo Ting was instead peeking at Bai Ning Bing.

Chapter 218. Performing a great show | Reverend Insanity

On the third day, Bai clan leader called for Fang Yuan again and gifted him many primeval stones in the name of hunting.During the banquet, apart from stealing glances at Bai Lian, Fang Yuan took the initiative to toast to Bai clan leader with a sincere and grateful expression.Bai clan leader didn't speak but was inwardly very satisfied.This night, Bai Lian visited Fang Yuan on her own accord. Her friend had been poisoned and clearing heat Gu would be very effective on it. However, clearing heat Gu was rare, thus she came to Fang Yuan to borrow it."Can't endure it anymore huh?" Fang Yuan sneered inwardly while lending the clearing heat Gu without any objection.Bai Lian seemed to be very grateful for this.Fang Yuan then took the initiative to enthusiastically chat with her; the two started becoming closer and their relation rapidly improved.The fifth day, at the banquet.Bai Clan leader suddenly asked: "Junior, is your Gu Yue clan thinking of settling down in Bai gu mountain?"Fang Yuan immediately stood up, he tried to appear composed, but couldn't conceal the panic in his eyes: "Bai gu mountain lies close to Bai village, we could say it your esteemed clan's territory. How could we dare to encroach upon it?"Bai Clan leader smiled inwardly, she became more certain that the Gu Yue clan's objective was Bai Gu mountain.However, she hypocritically said: "Junior might not be fully aware of the complicated situation here. The pressure on our Bai clan is very big, it would be great if Gu Yue clan could stay here at Bai gu mountain as our clan's ally."Fang Yuan promptly denied.Bai Mo Xing also persuaded, Fang Yuan seemed to be moved but he did not yield.After the banquet, Bai Lian also came over to indirectly talk about it; Fang Yuan expression became complicated, but he still didn't admit it."Hmph, this kid, his mouth is very tight." After the banquet, in the tent, Bai Mo Xing gritted his teeth and sighed."This is the demeanor of the young master of a clan, I am not surprised. We just have to raise the heat." Bai clan leader's gaze was pensive.The next day, dawn.Fang Yuan was still sleeping, when he was woken up by quarrelling noises from outside the tent.He walked outside the tent to take a look, only to see Bai Zhan Lie aggressively pulling Bai Lian's hands."Bai Zhan Lie, I told you many times to stop bothering me. Love can't be forced!" Bai Lian swung off Bai Zhan Lie's hand and said with an icy expression, "I still have things to do, take your leave.""Today's hunting competition is about to begin, what things do you have to do? Or are you going to look for that gigolo from Gu Yue village?" Bai Zhan Lie furiously roared."Say whatever you want! Young master Fang Zheng is very kind and even lent the clearing heat Gu when I asked for it. If it was not for his help, could Bai Sheng Jing recover so quickly?""Lian Er, can you not be so simple minded? Clearing heat Gu, haha, the way I see it he is just thinking to get intimate with you. Don't tell me you didn't sense his glances?" Bai Zhan Lie worriedly said.Bai Lian glared: "Bai Zhan Lie, enough is enough! Ah, young master Fang Zheng…"As the two quarreled, they saw Fang Yuan who was standing outside the tent.Fang Yuan looked a little embarrassed and his gaze showed some worry as he said to Bai Lian: "So it was Lady Bai Lian. Please come in if you have something to say.""You lad!" Bai Zhan Lie turned furious and seemed about to find trouble for Fang Yuan, but was stopped by Bai Lian half-way through."Bai Zhan Lie, what do you think you are doing? Are you crazy? This is our clan's esteemed guest!""What esteemed guest, he is no more than a stray dog." Bai Zhan Lie spat in contempt as he pointed at Fang Yuan, "Kid, if you have guts then let's have a real contest! The loser will have to stop bothering Lian Er.""Hmph, I am only a rank one whereas you are a rank three and you have the nerve to say this. Could it be the grand Bai clan has no fairness?" Fang Yuan's expression turned ugly."In this world, there has never been fairness, there are only strong and weak. You are a coward if you don't dare to compete! So it turns out the Gu Yue clan produces cowards, hahaha…." Bai Zhan Lie threw his head back and laughed, the sound attracting many people."What's going on?" Bai Mo Xing hurried over at this moment.Bai Lian explained everything to him, Bai Mo Xing immediately criticized Bai Zhan Lie: "Stop fooling around, you actually dared to be rude to the esteemed guest!"Bai Zhan Lie raised his head: "He didn't dare to take up my challenge, he is not a warrior. Since he is not a warrior, why should I be courteous to him?""You!" Bai Mo Xing stared in fury.Bai Lian said: "Anyone who accepts such challenge would be an idiot. Young master Fang Zheng's cultivation has fallen because of injuries. If he was at his peak state, you might not be his opponent."A young lady was saying such things towards Fang Yuan, if Fang Zheng was really here, his heart would have been completely filled with appreciation.Fang Yuan, however, sneered: Such a good performance!"I will compete with you in place of young master Fang Zheng." Bai Lian continued.Bai Zhan Lie gasped with rage: "Why are you sticking out for him, besides on what basis are you representing him? He is only a gigolo, a spineless coward, I alone can win ten of him! I won't compete with you. Kid, if you have guts then stand up. Not even saying anything, are you still a man?""If you want to compete, then let's compete, who is afraid of whom!" Fang Yuan seemed to have been spurred on by the remarks, as he straightened his neck and said in an impulsive manner."Lord elder, did you hear it? He agreed!" Bai Zhan Lie immediately shouted out with glee all over his face.Bai Mo Xing furrowed his brows: "One should always be brave enough to receive challenges. Junior Fang Zheng, we all see your bravery, but you are our clan's esteemed guest, how will we explain to Gu Yue clan if there are any mishaps? And your cultivations are not at the same level, so the challenge loses its fairness.""Lord elder is correct, junior was thoughtless…" Fang Yuan deliberately hesitated.Seeing Fang Yuan seemingly about to withdraw, Bai Zhan Lie and Bai Lian quickly communicated with their gazes.Bai Zhan Lie continued to speak, provoking Fang Yuan's anger and spurring him on.Bai Lian bit her lips, before walking in front of Fang Yuan. She opened her watery big eyes and spoke softly: "Young master Fang Zheng, if I may be so bold to ask a favor.""Oh, what request?""I really wish young master would accept this challenge and help me get rid of Bai Zhan Lie's persistence. I really can't endure his harassment." Bai Lian said with eyes filled with tears.A young girl was imploring a boy like this, to drive away a nasty pursuer.Especially if this boy also had good feelings about this young girl.Tell me, which boy could refuse?Thereupon, Fang Yuan immediately patted his chest and agreed: "Not to worry Lady Bai Lian, your affairs are my affairs, I will give it my all."Fang Yuan paused before speaking with some hesitation, "It is just that my cultivation is weaker than his at the moment. Just in case I lost….""Please be at ease young master, I have a plan already." Bai Lian's smile was like the blooming of a daffodil.She turned around and said to Bai Mo Xing: "Lord elder, young master Fang Zheng might have agreed to the contest, but if we really were to continue with the duel, we might injure our harmony and it also wouldn't be fair. I have a proposal; the hunting competition is ongoing currently, how about we take this chance to divide them into five person group and compete with the hunting accomplishments?""Yes, it is a good proposal." Bai Mo Xing felt his beard and slightly nodded, "Okay, you will choose your own teams. But to be fair, the cultivation level of your teams must be proportionate."Bai Zhan Lie snorted in annoyance."Yes." Bai Lian promptly bowed in happiness.—————————————————————–After an hour, the two sides set off.On Fang Yuan's side, there were rank three Bai Ning Bing, Bai Lian and two other female Gu Masters with a similar age to Bai Lian, both all having rank two cultivation.Among them was Bai Sheng Jing who was very grateful to Fang Yuan. She was the one who was poisoned and had been cured by Fang Yuan's clearing heat Gu.The group was harmonious, and although Fang Yuan had the lowest cultivation, he was the core of the group."Young master, you don't need to worry, we have already gotten detailed information on the locations of the more precious preys. You only need to follow us." Bai Sheng Jing was responsible for scouting, and she was quite lively.The group followed her, and sure enough, they were able to kill many unique prey.Fang Yuan didn't have to exert himself and the whole thing felt like he was going on an excursion rather than hunting."Young master Fang Zheng, I heard others saying your Gu Yue clan is migrating to Bai Gu mountain, is that true?" Bai Sheng Jing seemed to have asked casually when they were returning from their rewarding hunt."Those talks are all baseless." Fang Yuan smiled."Young master, you are gentle and refined, an upright gentleman, much better than that Bai Zhan Lie. Sigh, if you could stay at Bai gu mountain then we could meet each other more often in future." Bai Sheng Jing continued.Fang Yuan laughed and secretly glanced at Bai Lian who was walking alongside him.Bai Lian seemed to be worried: "Settling down and establishing the village is not an easy thing. The most important condition is to find a spirit spring. However, the primeval energy around the spirit spring is very dense, so there will definitely be beasts pack or formidable wild Gu worms living near it. To establish the village, the very first exploration group will have to go through intense battles, either killing beast packs or the wild Gu worms. This process will definitely be accompanied by bloodbath and sacrifices."Upon saying so, she looked at Fang Yuan, "Actually, there are many bone Gu living in Bai Gu mountain. These bone Gu have tough physique and are difficult to deal with. There are also no soil in Bai Gu mountain, the ground is all made of bones and stones. It is not impossible to establish a village and survive on this mountain, but the price to pay is very high.""Oh, is it so?" Fang Yuan's smile contained a trace of reluctance and his gaze seemed to revealed deep worry.Then, he pretended to act nonchalant, asking: "I am quite interested in Bai Gu mountain. Bai Lian, your clan could be said to be half the owner, could you tell me what dangers are on this mountain?"Bai Lian smiled: "Then please listen, young master."She exaggeratedly spoke while secretly activating the Anxiety Accumulation Gu inside her aperture.This Gu worked as quietly as the spring breeze and would silently influence everyone within ten steps of it. It aggravated people's thoughts and increased their worries.Fang Yuan's smiling expression gradually faded and the worries in his eyes became more visible."Young master Fang Zheng doesn't need to worry, we will definitely win against Bai Zhan Lie this time." Bai Sheng Jing intentionally eased Fang Yuan's worries.Fang Yuan nodded and after replying few sentences, he appeared absent-minded.Following, he kept on asking many questions.They were all about Bai Gu mountain, especially about certain areas in the back of the mountain.Bai Lian patiently answered all his questions.This scene was playing in real time in the camp."The fish has taken the bait." Bai clan leader showed a smug smile, "Back of the mountain…"She started looking at the map on the table.

Chapter 219. Entering Bai Gu mountain | Reverend Insanity

After a short period of time, Bai clan leader took her gaze off the map, giving up.Bai Gu mountain was huge, even though the range was restricted to the back mountain, it was still a long way to pinpointing the exact location."That Gu Yue lad, he is on guard against our Bai clan and would not ask for the direction directly. It seems that to find out the location of the spirit spring, we will need to buck up!" Bai clan leader gritted her teeth, evaluating.Once they obtained the location of the spirit spring, Bai clan would hold a thorough investigation."But if the spirit spring's surrounding beast groups isn't a lot, and the price for killing them isn't huge, I will strike directly. After all, we have the initiative to act first! But if the surrounding wild beasts and gu worms are too many, we will provide support and reinforce Gu Yue clan, making them bear the brunt of the attacks, while we wait for the opportunity to reap the rewards afterwards. If we do this well, we might even absorb the remnants of Gu Yue clan. Hehehe…"Thinking of the great plan, Bai clan leader laughed out.She had no idea now, that the so called Gu Yue remnants were just a big fat lie.In fact, Fang Yuan obtained even more valuable information from Bai Lian.The righteous inheritance was at the back mountain of Bai Gu mountain, Fang Yuan did not fake the information.However, there were many bone beasts at the back mountain, and even more Gu worms dominating the area, it would be tough and full of obstacles to claim the area as a clan territory.He knew from Bai Lian's words, that there were some exaggeration, relying on his five hundred years of experience, he filtered the exaggerated parts, and obtained one truth —— if he and Bai Ning Bing worked together, to get to the inheritance ground, it would take at least half a year.The situation on Bai Gu mountain was not like the woods. There were large numbers of wild beast groups, and many ferocious beasts and dangerous gu worms lurked. Many areas needed to be avoided and some places even needed to be steered clear of.Once back at the village, it was like what Bai Sheng Jing said, their battle results were superior to Bai Zhan Lie.After a day of circulation, this competition was widely known.The five walked in the campgrounds, receiving much attention."Senior Bai Lian won today.""That is just Lord Bai Zhan Lie being unlucky. You know, hunting relies on luck too. If you do not encounter rare prey, so what if you have strength?""Those two, are they the ones from Gu Yue clan?""Who is that girl? So beautiful… not any less than Bai Lian's beauty!""I heard this Gu Yue clan young master is interested in Lord Bai Lian, truly a lame toad trying to eat swan meat .""According to my observations, this person's nature is flawed. Having one beside him already, yet craving another, no wonder Lord Bai Zhan Lie was furious.""Everyone can tell Lord Bai Zhan Lie is interested in senior Bai Lian. After all, I heard they were childhood friends.""Sigh, unfortunately the feeling isn't mutual…"Many whispers and secret talks were undergoing, as people lowered their heads.Fang Yuan looked like he was gloomy, even though he won, he did not show any joy on his face.Only until at night, at the central tent, as another campfire banquet was held.The twins, Bai Sheng and Bai Hua, toasted to Fang Yuan before being brought away. In the tent, many new faces emerged.Bai Lian and Bai Zhan Lie's competition caused them to leave the ordinary hunting competition. Thus, the spots they used to hold were freed now, causing many youngsters in the Bai clan to step up.These two males were evidently closer to Bai Zhan Lie, one stared at Fang Yuan angrily during the banquet while the other was apathetic."Junior, it has been so many days, where are your clansmen?" At the banquet, Bai clan leader asked.Fang Yuan showed some worry: "According to my calculations, it should be these few days. Sigh, maybe they encountered some trouble, but with their strength, there should be no problems.Bai clan leader nodded, what she was concerned with was Fang Yuan.After spending so much effort, and establishing this stage. At this point where progress was being made, and success was around the corner, she did not want the Gu Yue remnants to appear and thwart the entire plot.What she did not know was, her worry was unnecessary. In this world, only two Gu Yue remained, Fang Yuan and Fang Zheng."No worries junior, I have sent people to scout around, I believe that not long later, you will hear news of your clansmen." After reacting, Bai clan leader consoled Fang Yuan.Fang Yuan quickly thanked her, as Bai Ning Bing frowned.The situation was getting more critical, the longer they dragged, the worse it was for them.Now was still fine, using excuses to answer them. After all, in the wild, encountering unexpected troubles is normal. But after they dragged it out, Bai clan would be suspicious, and may even find out the truth behind their lies.But these days, they continued to hunt in the wild, and Bai Ning Bing did not dare to do anything. She knew that there were Bai clan gu masters invigilating the entire process, hiding at a corner.They lacked a strong movement gu, and with the complex forest terrain, it limited their speed.In Bai Ning Bing's perspective, the situation was worsening by the day, they seemed to have fallen deep into the quicksand, sinking deeper as time passed, at this rate they would be thoroughly consumed."What exactly are you planning?" Bai Ning Bing stared at Fang Yuan.She understood Fang Yuan, he was not the type of person to wait and die. But because of her little life experiences, she could not think of a way to break out of the situation.In this environment, she could not discuss openly with Fang Yuan either.The pressure in Bai Ning Bing's heart was intensifying.Another day passed.Fang Yuan's group was narrowly beating Bai Zhan Lie's group in terms of results.At the banquet, Bai clan leader called Bai Mo Xing for another secret discussion.Clan leader tapped on the table with her finger: "This cannot go on, although today during the hunting, Bai Lian continued to talk about the dangers of Bai Gu mountain, I could feel Fang Zheng wavering but time waits for no one. Once the Gu Yue group shows up, Fang Zheng would've found his pillar of support, and our efforts would have been in vain.""Time is not on our side." Bai clan leader sighed, unable to hide her worry.What she did not know was, Bai Ning Bing was more worried than her.Time was even more precious for Bai Ning Bing and Fang Yuan.Bai Mo Xing pondered for a while: "Clan leader, the way I see it, it is not realistic to expect Fang Zheng to trust us in the short run and give us the location of the spirit spring. I have an idea here, but we still need to continue manipulating and intensifying his pressure.""Oh? Speak."Bai Mo Xing whispered softly.Bai clan leader nodded slightly: "You are right, that Fang Zheng is very anxious, probably worried that his clan would suffer too much losses from fighting for the spirit spring. Doesn't he want information on the area near the spirit spring? He definitely wants it, but is wary of us. Moreover, their cultivation is weak too, your idea seems good….."Subconsciously, the female clan leader felt that this method was inappropriate, but now that they had no better plans they could only try this.Thus, on the third day of the duel, Bai Zhan Lie accidentally caught a wild swimming dragon butterfly during hunting, and the entire camp was in a commotion.Bai Lian showed a grim expression: "The situation is looking bad, swimming dragon butterfly Gu, rank three and very precious. Bai Zhan Lie's score is way ahead of us, we can only take a risky move to have a chance to win. I am very clear of the forest's terrain. We can only go into Bai Gu mountain to hunt, and kill bone beasts or capture wild bone Gu."Bai Ning Bing heard this, and her heart jumped.Bai Gu mountain, isn't that the best way to break out of their predicament? Haha, to think that an opportunity would arrive like this.Although Bai Gu mountain was dangerous, it was the best way to escape Bai clan.Fang Yuan shook his head: "This is too dangerous, lady Bai Lian, we have limited strength, forget it."Bai Ning Bing stared with wide opened eyes, wanting to strangle Fang Yuan so badly.Bai Lian laughed instead: "No worries young master. I have a plan, I have a good relationship with Bai Sheng and Bai Hua, we can coax them into joining the hunt tomorrow. They have no cultivation, thus they are not considered reinforcements for us. But they have Gu Masters hiding around protecting them from danger. If we enter Bai Gu mountain, and encounter danger, how can they not help? We will not take the wild beasts they kill, but only hunt our own. The beast groups are bound to have the old, sickly and weak, the wild beasts on Bai Gu mountain are way more valuable."Fang Yuan was shocked: "To think that Bai clan is doing this, all just to prevent my suspicion."As he thought so in his heart, he said instead: "Great idea! Lady Bai Lian is truly pure hearted, I am very amazed.""No, I am flattered." Bai Lian smiled shyly, but smugness flashed across her eyes.————————————————————–The next day.At dusk, in the central tent, Bai clan leader stared at the rainbow smoke in the air tightly.In the smoke, an image appeared.In the image, there were seven people. Other than Fang Yuan, Bai Lian and the three, there were also two children, the Bai clan young masters."It seems Bai Gu mountain is very peaceful. We've moved for so long, and not encountered any trouble." In the image, Bai Sheng Jing spoke.Bai clan leader snorted out of anger.To protect them, she sent out a large number of Gu Masters to pave the way, not leaving behind a single elder, all protecting them in secret.The reason Fang Yuan's group was having such an easy time, and encountering sporadic wild beasts, was because they were purposely left behind by the Bai clan Gu Masters.In this six hours, Bai clan had sacrificed tens of outstanding Gu Masters, and even three elders were injured.Among them, two were severely injured, falling unconscious and were on the way back to camp.But this was still Bai Gu mountain's foot, the more they ascended, the more danger lurked.Don't see how easily Fang Yuan and the others travelled, this was all due to the other Gu Master's sacrifice of life and blood.Especially Bai Gu mountain, no one lived there, and it was a wild beast territory. To pave the way and explore, the price to pay was huge.Fang Yuan continued to ascend, and with Bai Lian's guidance, they arrived at Bai Gu back mountain."We have limited information, I do not know where to continue going. The sky is getting dark, maybe we should get back." Bai Lian purposely said."Since we're here, we might as well explore." Fang Yuan said instead.He looked around, trying to discern, like he was trying to find something.He started to lead them, according to his memories, he knew the inheritance ground was close by."Hey, hey, hey, can you at least try to pretend?" Beside him, Bai Ning Bing saw this and was screaming in her heart. Fang Yuan's behaviour was already out of character.Bai Ning Bing looked around worriedly, but what was strange was: Be it Bai Lian, Bai Sheng Jing or the others, it seemed they could not tell anything, letting Fang Yuan search in silence."Good, this is it! It seems this place is very close to the spirit spring!" In the tent, the clan leader said agitatedly."Hehehe, Fang Zheng, you are still too young… Eh? They entered the cave, is the spirit spring inside the cave?" The image flashed, showing the insides of the cave.Right when Bai clan leader was getting confused, someone reported from the outside: "Reporting to clan leader, an investigative Gu Master is back, bringing a Tie clan Gu Master, they have important news to report!"

"Important information?" Bai clan leader frowned – what could be more important than the spirit spring?"Since it's not an emergency, let them wait first." She instructed before turning her gaze back to the smoke image.The image shone, showing the situation in the cave; Fang Yuan and the group moved deeper into the cave, till they reached the end.This cave wasn't big. Bai clan leader was disappointed as she did not see the spirit spring, there was no way it could be in a place like this."It seems that we still need some time to find the spirit spring." Bai clan leader muttered. She swung her sleeves and kept the smoke back in, before saying towards the outside of the tent: "Call them in."The tent flap was opened; a fierce and vigorous investigative Gu Master walked in and bowed: "This subordinate greets lord clan leader, I have an important news to report."There was a trace of anxiety in his voice."You captured a Tie clan Gu Master." Bai clan leader frowned slightly.Tie clan was a huge powerhouse which not even ten Bai clans could match. There would be huge trouble if the matter was not handled properly.Bai clan leader was blaming the subordinate in her heart, this Tie clan Gu Master was like a bomb, he should've killed him secretly in the woods. Bringing him back to the clan would leave behind evidence and cause complications."This subordinate had received a mission, and while investigating the directions of the Gu Yue remnants, I accidentally found a heavily injured Gu Master. I was suspicious at first, thinking he was a Gu Yue clansmen. But after healing him, he claimed to be a Tie clan Gu Master. And he told me a shocking news! Qing Mao mountain's three clans were completely wiped out. A mysterious demonic Gu Master managed to escape from the disaster, and the Tie clan mobilized their Gu Masters to pursue these demonic Gu Masters." The Investigative Gu Master reported."What did you say?" Bai clan leader was surprised; her heart jumped, and she started frowning.At this instance, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing's images flashed in her mind. Are these two youngsters demonic Gu Masters? They didn't look like it!Especially when she thought about Fang Yuan's crying image at the banquet — how can such a person be a demonic Gu Master?"How can you be sure this person is a Tie clan Gu Master?" Bai clan leader asked again."This is the Tie clan token I got from his body! And his Gu worms are also Tie clan's characteristic Gu worms." The investigative Gu Master said while handing over a metal token.Bai clan leader received the token, she felt a cold sensation from the token.It was indeed the Tie clan token, but..."There is also a possibility that this person killed the Tie clan Gu Master and took the token as their loot. Maybe this person is trying to mislead us, he might just be the demonic Gu Master the Tie clan is pursuing." Bai clan leader thought of a possibility.In order to live, demonic Gu Masters obviously have to lie about their identity.The Bai clan leader had too deep of a preconceived perception. But no matter what, she would have to confirm it herself.She squinted and said: "Bring that captive here.""Move." Soon, the tent was opened and a Gu Master was brought over.It was Tie Dao Ku; his hair was a mess and his face pale as he walked towards the Bai clan leader."Kneel down!" The Gu Master behind kicked, and this strong willed man grunted, kneeling on the ground.But he strongly resisted and tried to remain standing."Stay still!" Two Gu Masters behind him held each of his arms, forced him down.Tie Dao Ku struggling was to no avail, he shouted: "I, Tie Dao Ku, will kneel to the heavens and earth, will kneel to my parents, will kneel to the clan leader, but do not humiliate me, or I'd rather die!""Oh, great acting." Bai clan leader's eyebrows raised, but she just sneered and interrogated: "Speak, you are a demonic Gu Master, how did you kill the Tie clan Gu Master and obtain this token?"Tie Dao Ku was stunned, before spitting out some bloody phlegm: " Spit ! I am Tie Dao Ku of the grand Tie clan, my name and surname will never change. Now that I've landed in your hands, do whatever you wish to me, but trying to frame me like this, isn't it too hypocritical?"The phlegm did not land on Bai clan leader, as it hit an invisible wall in midair and fell on the ground.Bai clan leader's expression turned ugly.Tie Dao Ku laughed coldly: "Our Tie clan is an expert in pursuing and investigation. Bai clan, you captured me and humiliated me like this, hehe, you better decimate my corpse, and pray you are not found out. If not, heheh, you shall face the wrath and revenge of our entire Tie clan!"Bai clan leader sneered: "You keep claiming to be a Tie clan Gu Master, but I've seen many Tie clan Gu Masters, those who are below rank 5 would move in large numbers, and are extremely spirited, and iron willed. Not only are you travelling alone, just look at your state, you should act better if you want to pass off as a Tie clan Gu Master."Tie Dao Ku's cold sneering froze.Bai clan leader's words triggered the most painful memory in his heart.Back when they left Qing Mao mountain, all nine of them were high spirited, but now only he was left and that too as a prisoner!Sadness…Especially when he thought about how Tie Ao Tian died, the huge regret and pity intensified his pain.Tie Ao Tian was the Tie clan's fourth young master, with superior talent and a determined nature; there were many expectations placed on him since young. He was a strong competitor for the clan leader position, and was the future hope of the Tie clan. The intellect and talent he displayed made Tie Dao Ku see the future of the Tie clan in his hands.But!When that overwhelming explosion occurred, everything ended.It was too abrupt!Tie Ao Tian who was in the middle of the explosion didn't even have time to activate his defensive Gu before he was blown to bits.A generation's genius, the star of the future, died in such an obscure way!Not only Tie Ao Tian, some others were affected as well and died in the explosion along with countless Gu worms.There were only two people alive; both heavily injured.Tie Ku Dao was one of them. Back then he was at the back of the team, and because his skin had turned into bronze skin by his Gu worm, he preserved his life.Another injured person had lost half his body, and in a short while, fell into a coma; eventually dying after resuscitation failed.Tie Dao Ku cried as he buried his clansmen.He had wanted to bury them separately, but most of the corpses were in pieces. Tie Ao Tian was the most pathetic, only a palm sized piece of flesh was left of him.He carried his extreme pain and grief, and built a tomb, cutting a huge rock and moving it there as a marking.Next, he investigated the explosion site.With his experience, he concluded it was the charred thunder potato Gu.Almost a hundred charred thunder potatoes, buried together! Without a doubt, this was a huge devious, ruthless and extremely evil trap!Who would do such a wicked thing!Who set this trap?!Tie Dao Ku thought about it hard, and felt that Fang and Bai were the most suspicious. Of course, he did not know their names or the exact info, but he understood that this culprit was most likely the demonic Gu Master they had been chasing.Too despicable!Too vicious!Tie Dao Ku flew into a rage, his hatred as deep as the sea.Revenge, he must get revenge, and bring this demonic Gu Master to justice!Tie Dao Ku could no longer return to Tie clan. He was responsible to get to the end of the fourth young master's death. Furthermore, if he returned empty handed like this, it would be a huge disgrace to his character.He had to continue the chase!His life had suddenly turned from colorful to grey. He wanted to kill the demonic Gu Master of Qing Mao mountain to vent his anger. Even if he could not, he wanted to give his all."Revenge! Revenge!" He shouted, he would not stop until he killed Fang and Bai.However, reality was cruel. His injuries could not receive proper healing, and in a few days, he suffered from a high fever and terrible headache. He also encountered beast groups' attack, and barely managed to escape through the river. But without proper supplies, he still fainted in the end.When he was awake, he found that he was saved, but became Bai clan's captive.Thinking back, it was all a series of painful events!Tie Dao Ku kneeled in the tent with tears flowing out uncontrollably.Bai clan leader was amazed, Tie Dao Ku did not answer her questions and just kept on giving off a determined aura.This did not look like a fake identity, like a demonic Gu Master who wanted to live."Is this person really from Tie clan?" Bai clan leader started to feel something amiss, the bad feeling in her heart starting to spread.She wanted to find out more details, but Tie Dao Ku did not reply and even closed his eyes.Bai clan leader's mind turned as she suddenly said: "Not long ago, our Bai clan entertained two Gu Yue clan guests. They are two youngsters, one claiming to be Gu Yue clan's young master…"Before she finished, Tie Dao Ku opened his eyes abruptly. His once dead eyes started shining with radiance.Hatred, anger, joy, all sorts of complex emotions burst forth.He wanted to get up agitatedly, but was pushed down by the two Gu Masters behind him.He shouted: "It's them, it's definitely them. To think I met them here. Two people, and even youngsters, hmph, they must be the demonic Gu Masters that escaped from Qing Mao mountain!"Tie Dao Ku did not know the situation on Bai clan, the investigative Gu Master only interrogated, there was no way he would tell him such information.Bai clan leader quickly asked: "If you are a Tie clan Gu Master, where are your companions?"Tie Dao Ku's attitude changed completely at this point; for the sake of revenge, he answered seriously: "They're dead.""Where did they die? Where are the corpses?"Tie Dao Ku's expression changed: "I cannot tell you this. The dead shall rest in peace, even if you suspect me, I will not allow you to dig their graves!"Bai clan leader's heart sank after hearing this.These were not words a demonic Gu Master would say."Don't tell me…" An intense worry grew in Bai clan leader's heart.She could not help but wave her sleeves, as a colorful smoke flew out and coiled around in the air, forming an image."Your clan's young master is in our hands, all of you get out now!" In the image, Fang Yuan had already fallen through with Bai clan, he was gripping Bai Hua and Bai Sheng's throats as he threatened.Bai clan leader was instantly dumbstruck.After a few breath's time, she flew into a rage, slamming the table in front of her into smithereens.She wanted to scream ——"Turns out they were demonic scoundrels!"
