We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Gongyang Hao?
The surname immediately startled Kitagawa Yu and his companions, reminding them of the Gongyang family.

What is the relationship between Gongyang Hao and the Gongyang family?
Could it be that Gongyang Hao is a member of the Gongyang family?
Kitagawa Yu and the others exchanged glances and remained silent before turning their heads to look at the distance.

A young figure stepped out from there.

He was handsome, with clear features, but his face looked somewhat youthful.

However, his aura was not weak, and the group quickly learned of his strength, which was that of a sixth-level Gu Master.

Gongyang Hao's expression was rather grim. He hadn't expected that he had been so well hidden, yet the beggar had discovered him.

Looking at the beggar, a fleeting glint of coldness and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

It wasn't because the beggar discovered him, but because the other person revealed his real name.

This was something he hadn't anticipated.

In particular, the beggar revealed his surname in front of Kitagawa Yu and the others.

"Where did this guy come from?"

Inside the cave, Duan Tiandao was puzzled. He hadn't found Gongyang Hao when he came to Jiuhua Mountain.

Su Chen knew the reason and explained, "He arrived earlier than all of you and came in before I could set up my plan."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Duan Tian Dao's confusion deepened.

However, he did not ask immediately, but looked at Su Chen with a puzzled look, waiting for his reply.

Su Chen explained, "The reason I didn't kill him is because his ability to conceal his aura is very impressive. Sometimes even I can't detect it. Besides, he didn't affect my arrangements for Jiuhua Mountain, so I didn't make a move."

"I see," Duan Tian Dao said in realization.

outside.

The beggar completely ignored the sullen-faced Gongyang Hao, instead scrutinizing him with great interest.

When he learned from the Three-Life Tracking Gu that the Gu worm was on his body, he was also shocked.

It should be noted that the Gongyang family has long since disappeared from history.

Unexpectedly, there were still remnants who had not been completely eliminated.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with him.

He was not yet qualified to participate in the operation to wipe out the Gongyang family.

Just because it's unrelated to him doesn't mean it's unrelated to Kitagawa Yu and others.

Not only the Kitagawa family, but the other three major families were also involved to varying degrees.

Thinking of this, the beggar's gaze swept back and forth between Gongyang Hao and Beichuan Xiong, clearly in a spectator's mood.

Kitagawa Yu and the others didn't know if it was because of Gongyang Hao's name or something else, but in any case, they didn't look directly at Gongyang Hao's face.

However, this situation did not last long.

Finally, Kitagawa Yu broke the silence. He stepped forward and said loudly, "Gongyang Hao, hand over the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect on your body!"

"What if I don't pay?"

Even when facing numerous Nine-Turn Gu Masters, Gongyang Hao showed no fear.

His imposing presence was no less than that of Kitagawa Hajime, and perhaps even surpassed him.

"If you don't hand it over, you die!"

Kitagawa Yu had no patience to waste time with Gongyang Hao.

Putting aside his surname, the fact that a sixth-level Gu Master dared to speak to him in such an attitude meant he was doomed.

Besides, his surname is Gongyang.

This surname sealed Gongyang Hao's fate.

Upon hearing this, Gongyang Hao sneered, "Then let's see if you have the ability to kill me!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly disappeared from their sight.

The group frowned slightly upon seeing this, but showed little concern.

The entire Jiuhua Mountain is now under the protection of Beichuan Xiong's barrier, and Gongyang Hao cannot escape.

Moreover, both the beggar and Kitagawa Yu had already secretly left the scent of Gu worms on Gongyang Hao's body.

Finding him would be almost effortless.

Before long, the beggar captured Gongyang Hao and brought him back.

“Little one, I know about your grudges with the four great families, but this matter has nothing to do with this old beggar. I only want the inheritance of the Gu Immortal. As long as you hand over the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect to me today, I can swear with the Oath Gu that I will protect you and ensure your safe departure. How about it?”

The beggar smiled patiently.

Upon hearing this, neither Kitagawa Yu nor anyone else objected.

Compared to the legacy of the Gu Immortals, Gongyang Hao is indeed of little value.

Unfortunately, Gongyang Hao didn't buy it at all.

"Heh, do you really think I'm a child? Do you think I don't know that the Oath Gu can be broken? As for protecting me, that's a joke. Maybe you're just imprisoning me in a roundabout way, and then letting Kitagawa Yu and the others take me away when the time is up. Do you think I'll still be alive then?"

"Oh? Then what do you want?" the beggar narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

As long as we can communicate, that's fine; what he fears most is not being able to communicate.

Gongyang Hao stated his purpose: "It's very simple. You kill them for me, and then I will offer up the Netherworld Yin Gold Insects with both hands!"

These words caused the entire room to fall silent.

The beggar did not respond.

Gongyang Hao's idea was excellent; it aligned with his own deep-seated thoughts.

But while the idea was good, reality was harsh.

He doesn't have that ability.

Otherwise, Gongyang Hao wouldn't have needed to say anything more; he would have already taken action, killed the four people, and seized the four types of Gu worms from them.

Kitagawa Yu and the others also remained silent, instead staring at Gongyang Hao with contemptuous and indifferent gazes.

Gongyang Hao's few words intensified their murderous intent.

"Kid, you'd better get to the point."

The beggar's patience was wearing thin, and he said in a low voice.

"This is my only wish!"

Unfortunately, Gongyang Hao remained unmoved by either soft or hard tactics, and continued to be extremely firm.

This made the beggar completely lose patience.

"Don't provoke the old beggar's patience any longer. I've killed more people than you've walked the roads. Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you? Or that after killing you I wouldn't have any other means to find the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect?" The beggar controlled the Gu worm.

With just a thought, he could take Gongyang Hao's life.

He wanted to use this to threaten the other party, hoping they would confess honestly.

Gongyang Hao, however, laughed instead of being afraid: "Fine, then kill me. But I can tell you that in this world, only I know the location of the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect. If you kill me, none of you will be able to activate the Gu Immortal inheritance!"

"you……"

The beggar, who had just been filled with murderous intent, was suddenly surprised, because he used the Lie Gu Worm to test that what Gongyang Hao had just said was true.

Although his Gu worm is only at the sixth level, with his strength, even an eighth-level Gu master can detect the truthfulness of words.

When testing Gongyang Hao, the information conveyed by the Gu worm indicated that the other party was not lying.

This immediately made him hesitant to make any rash moves.

After all, his previous words were just to fool the other party. After killing Gongyang Hao, he might not really have a way to find the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect.

He then subconsciously looked at Kitagawa Yu and the others, only to see that they also had their brows furrowed.

They must have realized that what Gongyang Hao said was true.

"Furthermore, I can tell you that there are less than seven days left before the Gu Immortal inheritance is completely shut down. If you cannot find the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect within these seven days, you will only be able to watch the inheritance disappear and never be able to obtain it again!"

Gongyang Hao continued, seemingly knowing a great deal about the Gu Immortal inheritance.

"Is what he said true?"

After hearing this, Duan Tiandao asked the question that had been bothering him.

"it is true!"

Su Chen frowned and replied that he had already witnessed the other party's ability to foresee the future, which was why he had not taken action to kill him.

"It is said that the Gongyang family possesses a Nine-Turn Gu Worm that can foresee the future and is extremely powerful. When the four major families joined forces to eliminate the Gongyang family, they may have had the idea of ​​obtaining this Gu Worm."

After all, the reason why the Gongyang family was able to become the most powerful family in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in just one thousand years was because of this Gu worm.

Moreover, this Gu worm's function is not limited to this; it can even know how to break through to the Gu Immortal realm.

That's probably why he knew in advance that you would set up a trap in Jiuhua Mountain, which is why he came early and repeatedly evaded your search.

Unfortunately, this Gu worm only resides in the bloodline of the Gongyang family.

Otherwise, you could forcibly take the Gu worm from him.

As the last descendant of the Gongyang family, he must surely have this Gu worm in his body.

Perhaps they also harbor a huge secret about the Gongyang family.

I remember when the Gongyang family was wiped out, they were quite calm.

It was as if they already knew about this.

They must have already hidden away a large amount of wealth.

"If you could obtain this treasure, it might even help you break through to the Ninth Rank Gu Immortal realm."

This was the information about the Gongyang family that Heiyan Zhenren had given him when he asked him about it, which immediately piqued Su Chen's interest in Gongyang Hao.

After all, the appearance of Gongyang Hao has already proven that he does indeed have the ability to predict the future.

In other words, the layout of Jiuhua Mountain may not be entirely Su Chen's scheme to create the Yin Five Elements Gu worms.

At the same time, he was also the person Gongyang Hao plotted against the four major families.

However, Gongyang Hao's strength is inferior to Su Chen's, so it's uncertain whether he will use Su Chen's help to eliminate the four major families.

If he truly held that view, then it can only be said that he miscalculated.

Because Su Chen had no intention of getting involved with Kitagawa Yu and the others.

Once he obtains the Yin Five Elements Gu Worm, he will leave immediately and disappear without a trace.

Of course, Gongyang Hao could also make a deal with him.

The problem is that he only has one Gu worm, while Kitagawa Yu and the others have four Gu worms on their bodies.

By any measure, Kitagawa Yu's side has the advantage.

"I cannot agree to this condition, nor do I have the ability to do so. You should find another condition!"

In the end, the beggar had no choice but to compromise.

Gongyang Hao knew this was impossible, so after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then help me kill Kitagawa Ichi!"

"you dare!"

Kitagawa Yu stepped forward and spoke.

After Gongyang Hao said those words, he could clearly see that the beggar's gaze changed.

The gazes of the others also shifted slightly, as if they were deep in thought.

The beggar was quite frank: "Kitagawa Yu, I sacrificed a three-life tracking Gu, so it is only right that you sacrifice one of your offspring."

Moreover, you have many descendants, but even if they are highly talented, how can they compare to the inheritance of the Gu Immortal?

As long as you're here, the Kitagawa family will continue to prosper, don't you think?

What a fart!
Kitagawa Yu really wanted to curse.

But reason calmed him down.

Because of Gongyang Hao's words, not only are the beggars now on his opposite side, but others are also watching from the sidelines.

But Kitagawa knew that if he refused, they would not hesitate to kick him out.

"Ancestor, you..."

Kitagawa Yu's expression changed several times before finally turning to Kitagawa Hajime.

Kitagawa's face turned pale when he noticed Kitagawa Yu's gaze.

"I'm sorry for you!"

Kitagawa Yu sighed softly, and with a wave of his hand, he instantly killed Kitagawa Hajime.

However, he did not destroy his soul, but only his physical body.

As long as the primordial spirit remains, Kitagawa Hajime might be able to be resurrected in the future.

The others knew that this was the limit of what Kitagawa Yu could do, so they didn't say anything more.

"Can you tell me about the Gu worms now?"

Ignoring Kitagawa Yu's gaze, the beggar looked at Gongyang Hao.

Gongyang Hao nodded and said, "Of course, you can send someone with me, and I will personally lead you to find it."

"Are you playing me?" The beggar's face darkened upon hearing this.

Who knows if Gongyang Hao will resort to any tricks?

Gongyang Hao, however, remained unfazed: "I've said it before, only I know the location of the Gu worms. Besides, think about it, the Gu worms are so important, why would I keep them on my person?"

“I’ll go with him!” Kitagawa Yu volunteered.

Seeing this, the beggar couldn't stop him, so he had no choice but to agree and let Gongyang Hao go for the time being.

“No problem.” Gongyang Hao didn’t care at all about Kitagawa Yu’s cold gaze.

Kitagawa Yu saw that Gongyang Hao agreed, so he planned to take him away.

"Wait, you alone aren't enough, the Three-Eyed Ancestor is coming too!" Gongyang Hao said hurriedly.

Apart from Kitagawa Yu, the others fell into deep thought.

The beggar thought of something and nodded, saying, "I'll go too."

He glanced at Kitagawa Yu, and he could easily see that Kitagawa Yu wanted to kill Gongyang Hao.

The problem is, you can kill Gongyang Hao, but only after you obtain the Gu worm.

Otherwise, if the other party uses their position to settle personal scores, how will they obtain the Gu Immortal inheritance?

With him there, it might be possible to prevent Kitagawa Yu from taking action to some extent.

Once he obtained the Gu worm, whether Gongyang Hao lived or died would be none of his concern.

He wouldn't offend Kitagawa Yu because of Gongyang Hao.

The others also agreed that the beggar should go.

The group looked at Kitagawa Yu, who thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "No problem."

But there was a sneer in his heart.

Did the naive Gongyang Hao really think that the beggar's presence would protect him?
Those who deserve to die will eventually die!
Those whom Kitagawa Yu has his eye on will never escape his grasp unless they die.

"Then let's go."

The beggar said impatiently, then looked at the others, "You stay here, we'll be right back."

After saying that, he left with Gongyang Hao.

Kitagawa Yu took the Gu worm and left, following closely behind the beggar.

Soon, only Wenren Qingqiu and two others remained on the field.

The three exchanged a glance and retrieved the Gu worms.

"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. I'll leave this place to you."

Suddenly, Wenren Qingqiu spoke, and before anyone else could reply, he left.

The remaining Mingyue Zixia and Tantai Haoran exchanged a glance and silently looked away.

The two of them could easily guess Wenren Qingqiu's thoughts.

He must have followed the beggar and Kitagawa Yu.

Whether it was to get rid of Gongyang Hao remains unknown.

However, it's good that he went. They always felt that Gongyang Hao's behavior was a bit strange, and when they thought of the Gu worms of the Gongyang family, they felt inexplicably uneasy.

With Sanmu and Kitagawa Yu openly in the open, and Wenren Qingqiu secretly behind the scenes, even if Gongyang Hao has extraordinary abilities, he probably can't stir up any trouble.

"Let's go and take a look too." (End of Chapter)
