Ye Yu picked up the jade jar and examined it carefully.
Such a small hole—there was no way the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm could have crawled out.
If anything escaped, it had to be a Gu insect.
At this possibility, Ye Yu’s expression suddenly changed.
No way? Could it be that the Crimson Gu King killed the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm? If so, that name would be completely wasted.
Without hesitation, Ye Yu summoned his immortal power and cautiously opened the jar’s lid.
He carefully looked inside to see the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm curled up napping.
Once it sensed his gaze, it immediately stood up and pointed to its mouth.
No doubt—it was still hungry.
Now Ye Yu was curious.
What was going on with the hole on the side ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ of the jar? Had the Crimson Gu King escaped?
Or was that hole caused by the Gu King’s last desperate counterattack before dying?
Only the Heavenly Devouring Gu Worm knew.
What Ye Yu didn’t know was that the Crimson Gu King had been eaten.
But only half of it.
The half-bodied Crimson Gu King had desperately broken through the jar and escaped.
Instinctive fear made it flee as far as possible.
But just after it barely crawled out of Yourong City, it utterly exhausted itself and collapsed on a cloud of auspicious mist, awaiting death.
At the brink of death, it suddenly saw an incredibly beautiful figure.
Then a gentle force slowly lifted it up.
The Crimson Gu King thought it had met a kind person and was finally saved.
But unexpectedly, the woman’s finger suddenly transformed into countless Gu insects, completely enveloping it.
In an instant, it was thoroughly devoured.
...
Shortly after, under An Jinqiu’s arrangement, hundreds of Gu insects were delivered.
Officially as a feast for Ye Yu’s celestial beast.
Along with them came the promised Heavenly Secret Garment.
Ye Yu instinctively glanced above An Jinqiu and An Jieyue’s heads.
He saw that the sisters’ three wishes mostly involved living peacefully together in the future
And rebuilding the Su Guang Immortal Sect.
All wish difficulties were white ranked.
This completely killed Ye Yu’s desire to stay any longer, so he immediately expressed his intention to leave Yourong City.
An Jinqiu was momentarily stunned hearing this and quietly asked, "Why leave? Are you unhappy staying here?"
Ye Yu smiled: "I’m not an immortal of Yourong City. I only stayed to mediate your sisters’ relationship because of the Heavenly Secret Garment."
"Now that you have reconciled, I must continue my travels."
An Jinqiu’s face paled slightly but forced a smile again.
An Jieyue saw all this clearly.
An Jinqiu and An Jieyue personally escorted Ye Yu to the gates of Yourong City.
Fairy guards of the City Lord’s Mansion all came out, putting on a grand display.
But it was not the effect Ye Yu wanted.
Real value was in tangible rewards, not all this show.
Completely unnecessary.
Yet An Jinqiu smiled the whole way, never showing any intention to give anything.
Ye Yu couldn’t force the issue, so he prepared to hint once more.
Then, suddenly, guard Lan’er stepped from the crowd and stood at the front.
Ye Yu thought she was lingering because she missed sparring with him.
He instinctively glanced above her head.
Three wishes appeared suddenly.
Damn! Two gold wishes.
This was the first time Ye Yu had encountered this in the dream. Big sister, your wishes are really difficult.
Wait, a Gu insect container?
Lan’er was definitely not like this before!
Or maybe she’s not Lan’er, but...
Sensing Ye Yu’s gaze shift, “Lan’er” moved early, suddenly charging forward.
Ye Yu immediately shouted, "Watch out!"
In an instant, Lan’er’s arms shattered into countless Gu insects that filled the air, then instantly wrapped An Jinqiu completely.
The next moment,
The Gu insects burst with dazzling light and suddenly began to contract violently.
Seeing this, female attendant Qian Su immediately ordered rescue and dispatched some guards to kill “Lan’er.”
But before they reached her, the suddenly appearing Gu insects killed them on the spot.
“No regrets!”
With a light shout,
The Immortal Sword Wuhui appeared above the crowd and slashed through the air.
Countless Gu insects were cut in half, falling onto the auspicious clouds.
With them gone, An Jinqiu reappeared.
However, her condition was not optimistic.
Blood was seeping from her shoulder.
Clearly the injuries from her earlier battle with two Immortal Kings had not healed and had now flared up again.
At this moment, An Jinqiu’s face was pale and her eyes filled with shock.
Impossible. Absolutely impossible! Who exactly are you?
Facing An Jinqiu’s question, “Lan’er” sneered, her entire appearance undergoing a drastic transformation.
A cold, unfamiliar face appeared.
Not far away, upon seeing her face clearly, An Jieyue cried out, "Mother!"
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
So this woman was An Jieyue’s damn mother, Yun Jie Xin?
No wonder she was so skilled at controlling Gu insects.
But why was she reborn?
Yun Jie Xin flicked her sleeve lightly and looked down coldly at An Jinqiu.
"The Gu insect Dao I pursue is immortal and undying!"
"In the battle before the Heavenly Realm catastrophe, I underestimated you and was taken advantage of."
"But now, there will be no such chance!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you now. I want to kill you while you watch me refine An Jieyue into a Gu insect container."
"To witness the wonder of the Gu Dao!"
Hearing this, An Jinqiu gritted her teeth and grasped the Wuhui Sword beside her.
Just as she was about to summon immortal power, blood seeped again from her shoulder.
At that moment, a figure blocked An Jinqiu’s front.
"Sister, this time it’s my turn to protect you!"
