Chapter 134 The Gu Dao Convention

Late at night, in the Zhang clan’s backyard.

A few Gu worms climbed over the high wall and passed through the side door, arriving outside the only room in the courtyard that was lit up.

“Clan head… It’s me.”

Hurried footsteps could be heard from inside. Zhang Huan opened the door. Seeing that there was no one outside, he could not help but be startled, asking, “First guardian, where are

you?”

“I am here…”

A voice came from beneath his feet.

He looked down and saw a few Gu worms crawling back and forth, shaking off some animal feces.

Only then did he notice that the one who spoke was one of the Gu worms.

“Clan head, the assassination failed, the second guardian and the third guardian did not survive. That Fang Yuan is very strong, if I did not self-detonate to escape with the Escape Spirit Gu, I would not have escaped death.”

Zhang Huan frowned. “How can this be! Didn’t you say that Fang Yuan has not even reached the Enlightenment Realm?”

“Clan head… that was a month ago…” The first guardian laughed bitterly. “When I fought him, although his cultivation was only at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, his spirit essence strength had already surpassed many sixth layer Gu masters. It was very strange, I could not gain much advantage.”

“He improved so much in a month?”

Zhang Huan was completely shocked, he did not even believe what the first guardian said.

“Sigh, Gu Zhenren’s disciple is indeed shocking, but it is a pity that I have disgraced clan head’s mission. I could not avenge Young Master.”

Zhang Huan was silent. After a long while, he said. “First guardian, you have done enough, I wonder how can I help you recover your human body?”

“I am now living in my soul state inside the Gu worm. If clan head can find the body of a person who has just died, I can be reborn.”

The first guardian could not help but sigh. “It is a pity that my original body’s aptitude and cultivation level was too high. Sigh.”

Zhang Huan comforted him. “First guardian, don’t worry. I will find someone with good aptitude to help you revive!”

“Thank you, clan head!”

“It’s a pity that my Bin’er has such a huge grudge…” Zhang Huan was dejected, and tears streamed down his face.

“Clan head, don’t worry, I have another way!”

The first guardian controlled the Gu worm to fly to Zhang Huan’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, “I know an expert on the Prodigy Roll. He only cares about money and not people. As long as you are willing to give up primeval stones, he will definitely help.”

“Oh? Which Roll is that person on? How is his strength?”

“The Human Roll, he is ranked over forty.”

“Human Roll? Which clan is he from?”

“He does not have any forces to rely on and is only a lone cultivator. However, clan head, you should not look down on him. This person is young and wandering alone in the world. To be able to reach the top forty of the human roll, he might not be any weaker than a sect’s prodigy.”

Zhang Huan narrowed his eyes.

“Alright! Let him help! Tell him that I want to see Fang Yuan’s head in three days!”

“Yes!”

The next morning.

Fang Yuan was leaning against Wan Qian’s bed. He did not sleep for the entire night.

“Senior Fang, Can I come in?”

Ruan Qinghe’s crisp, bell-like voice came from the window.

Fang Yuan looked up and saw her hands supporting her chin as she leaned against the windowsill. She looked youthful and lively.

“Come in.”

Ruan Qinghe pushed the door open and entered. She came to the bed and looked at Wan Qian, who was still unconscious. She bit her red lips and asked softly, “Senior Wan is still unconscious?”

“She probably won’t wake up for the next two days.”

Fang Yuan shook his head. “The Gu Dao convention is starting today, how is Gu Tianqing?”

“Senior Gu is already fine, but Senior Feng, who is next door, is still unconscious like Senior Wan.”

“We can’t wait any longer, let’s go over first.”

“What if those assassins find us here?” Ruan Qinghe was a bit worried.

“Don’t worry, the imperial guards of the capital are here, and there’s also the light chasing thunder tiger guarding the first floor, everything will be fine.” “Alright… Then I’ll go call the others.”

Ruan Qinghe left the room.

Fang Yuan turned his head to look at Wan Qian, thinking about what Ruan Qinghe said in his heart. He felt that it wasn’t unreasonable.

Thinking about it, he called out the Drunken Gu and Sound Transmission Gu, taking out a talisman and placing it beside Wan Qian.

“If you feel that there is a bad person nearby, inject your spirit essence into this talisman, then inform me, understand?”

“Squeak!”

The two Gu worms nodded their heads at the same time.

Fang Yuan touched them with his finger, and the latter revealed its belly comfortably, squinting its eyes.

He could not help but laugh. “Alright, I’ll do it next time. Master has something to do, I will leave this big sister to you to protect.”

“Squeak Squeak!”

The Drunken Gu and Sound Transmission Gu were extremely obedient.

Fang Yuan left the place.

With such a talisman that could hide his tracks, he felt much more assured.

There was no need for more.

If they really met a strong enemy, these two Gu worms would not be able to deal with them no matter how many talismans they had.

As long as they could stall until he came, that was enough.

After leaving, they found that the other members of the Gu Immortal Sect were already waiting at the stairs.

“Senior»” Ruan Qinghe waved her small hand. “Let’s go.”

Fang Yuan walked past everyone and went downstairs first.

The courtyard was quiet. It looked like the other three sects had already left to report to the venue.

The reporting location was at the entrance of the imperial palace.

The details of the Gu Dao convention were still unclear, and they did not know if the eight of them would be banned because they did not have enough people. “Senior, thank you… for yesterday.”

Gu Tianqing walked side by side with him.

“What are you thanking me for?” Fang Yuan smiled. “Speaking of which, those assassins were actually only after me. If you guys left, they would not chase after you guys.”

“You can’t say that.”

Gu Tianqing ridiculed him. “If I really left you there alone, wouldn’t I be the biggest suspect?”

“Hey.”

Fang Yuan chuckled. “Why did your brain suddenly become smarter?”

Gu Tianqing asked in dissatisfaction. “When have I ever been stupid?”

“Those words you said on the way to the capital and those little thoughts you had, aren’t they stupid?”

Gu Tianqing’s face turned red. “Senior, you saw through it…”

Fang Yuan rolled his eyes.

“Think about what to do in this Gu Dao convention. Eight people, fighting against others in full formations, I don’t even know how to win!”

“Don’t worry, Senior. I know the rules of the Gu Dao convention. There won’t be such a situation in the first two days.”

“Oh? Tell me more.”

“I have understood it before. The Gu Dao convention is based on the points system, win and you gain points, lose and you lose points. It is divided into two parts, individual points and sect points. Individual points are calculated by defeats, and sect points are calculated by wins.”

Gu Tianqing spoke with confidence. “Sect points represent the overall ranking. It is related to the point range of the opponents in the subsequent draw. If we have a winning streak after one stage, basically on the next stage, we will go against another sect with a winning streak.”

“The individual points are also included in the total points, but there is another function, which is to represent whether they will have the chance to meet the saint in the future.”

“On the first day, all the sects are allocated to the four battle areas in the east, west, south, and north by drawing lots. They will also draw lots to fight against the other sects.”

“Each sect has to draw three lots, and each match will be three wins out of five. They will fight in one-on-one battles. It can be said that they are prolonged battles. It is a test of luck and strength.”

At this point, his voice suddenly stopped.

They had arrived at the entrance of the imperial palace.
