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

"Then I waited for your arrival at Jiuhua Mountain and deliberately showed myself."

I will lead you to the Five Absolutes Mountain, and then plant a life-for-life Gu worm in you, binding your lives together.

"Once the three of you have fought each other to the death, leaving only one survivor, whoever it is, I will choose to commit suicide to end that person's life."

Gongyang Hao spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone shifting from initial anger to later smugness, and finally to calmness, as if recounting something completely ordinary.

However, Kitagawa Yu was far from calm after listening to Gongyang Hao's story; his heart was filled with turbulent waves.

According to Gongyang Hao, he predicted six months in advance that the Gu Immortal inheritance would appear in Jiuhua Mountain, and he was certain that the people of the four major families would go to Jiuhua Mountain. He knew that the Gu Immortal inheritance required five kinds of Nine-Turn Gu Insects to open, and he also knew that the five people were still missing the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect, so he took the Gu Insect in advance.

If these things were enough to shock him, then what happened next was even more unbelievable.

That is because Gongyang Hao anticipated that the beggar would be able to calculate his location through the Three Lives Tracking Gu, so he ran to Jiuhua Mountain in advance to seek his own death.

Could all of this really be achieved solely through the so-called Nine-Turn Gu Worm's ability to predict the future?
Kitagawa Yu couldn't believe it, and dared not believe it.

Although the Predictive Gu has the ability to foresee the future, it could never do so with such meticulous detail.

The only explanation is that it was due to Gongyang Hao's own actions.

He deduced the whole story through the divination technique of the Gu, and thus began to make his plans.

As it turned out, his plan not only had no problems, but was also executed perfectly.

It can be described as a plan that leaves no stone unturned!
Is this really something a young kid could do?
Kitagawa Yu stared blankly at Gongyang Hao, asking himself a question.

Even if he or other Nine-Turn Gu Masters obtained the Predictive Gu, they probably couldn't reach the level of Gongyang Hao.

There are too many things to consider in this.

The mere prospect of a near-death experience if one lost the gamble is enough to deter them from even trying.

But Gongyang Hao not only won the bet, he also accomplished it.

At this moment, regardless of their positions, even Kitagawa Yu felt genuine admiration for Gongyang Hao's courage and wisdom.

Su Chen, who was observing from the shadows, was equally shocked.

Strictly speaking, he was more horrified than Gongyang Hao.

Since he is not from the world of Gu Masters at all, logically speaking, the Predictive Gu should not be able to predict his behavior.

However, Gongyang Hao revealed that he had known about the Gu Immortal inheritance of Jiuhua Mountain for six months in advance.

Doesn't this mean that Gongyang Hao knew he would come to the Gu Master world six months in advance and set a trap to deceive all the Gu Masters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains?

Thinking of this, he instinctively broke out in a cold sweat.

If Gongyang Hao were to reveal the truth to the Gu Masters of the Ten Thousand Mountains, he would likely incur the hatred of all the Gu Masters of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Su Chen could disregard the weak Gu Masters, but the powerful Gu Masters of the Hundred Thousand Mountains were no weaker than him.

His supernatural abilities were an anomaly to the Gu Masters of the Ten Thousand Mountains, and vice versa; their methods were equally unusual to him.

Moreover, as long as Gongyang Hao reveals even a little bit, Su Chen will inherit the legacy of the Gu Immortal.

It's almost a given that Su Chen will become the target of everyone's hatred and be hunted down by countless Gu Masters.

With all the bizarre and wonderful tracking Gu in the world of Gu Masters, Su Chen felt that he could dodge it once or ten times, but not a hundred or a thousand times.

Fortunately, Gongyang Hao did not do that.

"Perhaps he only anticipated that someone would set a trap at Jiuhua Mountain, but he didn't anticipate who was behind it all?"

Su Chen could only console himself with this thought. He wasn't sure either, so he could only continue to observe and listen.

Hopefully, some clues can be found in Gongyang Hao's words.

If Gongyang Hao has truly discovered his scheme, then he will have no choice but to kill him here.

"Finally, thanks to my scheme, Wenren Qingqiu is dead, and the beggar is dead too. Now it's your turn. I've avenged half of my great grudge!"

A slight smile appeared on Gongyang Hao's face. He had been planning for this day for over a hundred years!
The hardships, hatred, resentment, and sorrow endured for over a century are all things that cannot be explained to outsiders.

Only he himself knows the true feelings he has experienced and how much effort he has put in to achieve this day.

"Haha, Gongyang Hao, you are indeed extraordinary, having accomplished what ordinary people cannot. But even so, you only killed me and Wenren Qingqiu. Your Gongyang family has more than just two enemies. With your strength, wanting to kill Tantai Haoran and Mingyue Zixia is nothing short of a pipe dream, not to mention..."

Moreover, although they died, it does not mean that the four major families have weakened.

The Kitagawa family has more than just one ninth-level Gu master.

The other three major families also have their own trump cards, and once they use them, they may not be afraid of the Nine-Turn Gu Master.

Gongyang Hao killed them, so what?

With his strength as a seventh-level Gu Master, it would be an unknown amount of time before he could wipe out the four major families.

One year, two years, or ten years?
Presumably, by then, the four major families will still exist, and their strength will have reached an even higher level.

At that time, even if Gongyang Hao was exceptionally talented and cultivated to the level of a ninth-level Gu Master, he might not have been able to shake the four major families.

The ending is already determined.

Gongyang Hao lost!
Upon hearing this, Gongyang Hao knew exactly what Kitagawa Yu was thinking, but he didn't explain. Instead, he sneered, "That's none of your business!"

"Want to kill me? It's not that easy!"

Sensing Gongyang Hao's murderous intent, Kitagawa Yu was not afraid at all.

After the time he had just spent stalling for time, his strength had recovered considerably.

Even if they couldn't block Gongyang Hao's attack, they could at least dodge it.

Moreover, he has no intention of resisting.

Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kitagawa Yu activated his space-type Gu worms, attempting to traverse space and leave Five Absolutes Mountain.

However, no matter how he tried to activate it, even though the Gu worms were functional, they could not produce any effect.

He remained in the same spot, motionless.

"How is this going?"

Kitagawa Yu was stunned and confused.

He knew it must be Gongyang Hao's doing, so he looked at the other party.

Gongyang Hao didn't hide anything and said softly, "I set up a method in Five Absolutes Mountain to restrict space-type Gu worms from crossing space. Otherwise, why do you think I brought you to Five Absolutes Mountain? It was specifically to target you. This is your burial place."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongyang Hao took action.

His methods didn't stop there; many of the eighteen Gu worms he gave Gongyang Hao were also modified with various methods.

Now under his control, most of them have turned against him, becoming a ruthless killing move to cut off Kitagawa Yu's chances of survival.

"what!"

The intense pain caused Kitagawa Yu to scream repeatedly; his Yuan power was dissipating, and his realm was gradually weakening.

Blood kept oozing from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he became a blood-soaked figure.

Not long after, his Yuan power completely dissipated, and he became like an ordinary old man.

However, having lost his Yuan power, he seemed to have fallen seriously ill, and his whole body aged considerably in an instant.

Kitagawa Yu died in excruciating pain shortly afterward, without even a chance to resist.

At the moment of his death, the Gu worms on his body flew out and landed on Gongyang Hao.

Gongyang Hao had already severed the connection between Beichuan Xiong and the Gu worm, in order to prevent Beichuan Xiong from ruthlessly sacrificing the Gu worm to him. He didn't care about the other Gu worms, but he was determined to get this Nine-Turn Shattered Space Gu.

This Gu worm is extremely precious and rare. Possessing it is equivalent to having a speed that ordinary people cannot achieve, making it almost invincible for escaping.

The only problem is that as a seventh-level Gu Master, he cannot fully utilize the power of a ninth-level Gu worm.

However, he was already quite satisfied with being able to refine a ninth-level Gu worm at the level of a seventh-level Gu Master.

After obtaining the dozens of Gu worms from Kitagawa Yu, Gongyang Hao found a stone chamber and began refining them. Even at this point, he was extremely cautious, setting up numerous protective measures around the chamber.

He seemed worried that someone might break in during his refining process.

Su Chen watched all this without saying a word. Only when Gongyang Hao began refining the Gu worms did he slowly reveal himself.

"Su Chen, does this guy know you're nearby?"

Duan Tiandao shared the same thought as Su Chen. Gongyang Hao's behavior made Duan Tiandao realize that the other party was on guard against Su Chen.

Kuroiwa Masato commented: "That's probably true."

After hearing Gongyang Hao's plan, he no longer regarded him as a young man.

Such cunning surpasses even that of an old man who has lived for thousands of years. Although the Precognitive Gu has its effects, Black Rock Master believes that even if he obtained the Gu, he could not achieve such flawless planning.

This guy, through sheer scheming, killed Wenren Qingqiu, Sanmu, and Kitagawa Yu.

All three were renowned Nine-Turn Gu Masters, each having fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

In the end, they were all lost at the hands of Gongyang Hao, which is simply unbelievable.

That's why, whenever he thought about the other party having the Precognitive Gu, Black Rock Master felt like he was living in his shadow.

Even Su Chen and Duan Tian Dao were no exception.

He had reason to suspect that all three of them were part of Gongyang Hao's scheme.

That's why the other side is so cautious and has taken many measures to prevent them from taking action.

“You’re right, he did discover us, but unfortunately, this method can’t stop me.”

Despite this, Su Chen did not act immediately. Instead, he released his primordial spirit, first refining Kitagawa Yu's physical body and the remaining primordial spirit aura, and then scanning the entire Five Absolutes Mountain.

A moment later, he withdrew his primordial spirit. Although Gongyang Hao had set up a plan at Five Absolutes Mountain, it was only aimed at Kitagawa Yu and the other two, not at him.

In other words, Gongyang Haoye was not sure who would survive in the end, so he set up methods against all three of them.

In this way, even if the worst-case scenario occurs, he will be able to cope.

Unfortunately, Kitagawa Yu and his two companions were not up to par, and only managed to get Gongyang Hao to use one method.

Such is the nature of human nature.

Human nature is what it is.

Su Chen didn't pay too much attention to it.

Upon discovering that Gongyang Hao had not devised any measures against them, Su Chen abandoned his plan to take action.

But he had a gut feeling that Gongyang Hao had actually discovered his existence.

As for why he didn't devise a plan, he didn't know.

All of this will only be known after Gongyang Hao wakes up.

Time passes bit by bit.

Gongyang Hao refined the Gu worms very quickly, and soon finished refining the Shattered Void Gu.

After refining this Gu worm, he stopped refining it and did not intend to continue refining other Gu worms.

He opened his eyes and saw Su Chen in front of him. His expression remained calm, as if he had known he would appear all along.

"It seems you did find me after all."

Su Chen looked directly into Gongyang Hao's eyes and saw through his deception.

Gongyang Hao remained noncommittal.

In reality, the Prophet Gu did not foresee that Su Chen would appear here; it was merely his own guess.

He was both surprised and delighted when he learned that Su Chen had laid down the inheritance of the Gu Immortal.

What was surprising was Su Chen's audacity and strength; he actually dared to use a fake Gu Immortal inheritance to set a trap for the four major families.

It's really unbelievable.

After the initial surprise came a deep sense of joy.

He knew that the opportunity for revenge he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

To verify his idea, he focused on the Gu Immortal inheritance in every subsequent divination.

Therefore, I learned a lot of information.

To his horror, Su Chen's plan had succeeded perfectly without his involvement.

He not only deceived the four major families, but also escaped unscathed.

Such methods sent chills down his spine.

I never imagined there were such extraordinary people in the world!

Unfortunately, the Prophet Gu provided Su Chen with very little information, leaving him almost completely ignorant about it.

The only thing that is clear is that the opponent is very strong, so strong that even the Prophet Gu could not predict it.

The reason why they guessed that Su Chen would come along was because the prophetic Gu had foreseen Su Chen's purpose.

Although he didn't know what use these five Gu worms were to Su Chen, he knew they were very important to him.

Therefore, when Su Chen learned about the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect in Jiuhua Mountain, he secretly followed him.

They followed them all the way to Wujue Mountain.

Su Chen must have witnessed everything that just happened.

"I want to make a deal with you."

Without asking about Su Chen's identity or intentions, Gongyang Hao calmly faced Su Chen's scrutiny and revealed his thoughts.

"What's your purpose?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

He was somewhat wary of Gongyang Hao, but not much.

If Gongyang Hao's strength reaches the ninth level, he might be able to pose a slight threat to him.

But right now...

He still managed to control the other party.

Gongyang Hao got straight to the point: "I have three Gu worms on me, and I can give them all to you, but on one condition: I hope you can kill Tantai Haoran and Mingyue Zixia for me."

That was his entire plan.

It was also his last move.

But he had no choice but to make this move and needed to rely on Su Chen's help.

This is why he went to great lengths to obtain the Netherworld Yin Gold Insect.

Because Su Chen cares about it, values ​​it, and is determined to get it.

But with only one Netherworld Gold Insect, he couldn't guarantee that Su Chen would agree to the deal.

So he plotted to kill Wenren Qingqiu and Beichuan Xiong, and obtained two crucial Gu worms from them.

With these three Gu worms, he was qualified to make a deal with Su Chen.

The outcome of the transaction was not accurately predicted by the divination tool; it was only indicated that success and failure were equally likely.

But this result is based on countless deaths.

In other words, Su Chen would only take cooperation with him seriously if he obtained three or more Gu worms.

Otherwise, either Su Chen will take back the Gu worm, or they will die!
Upon hearing this, Su Chen frowned, his mind filled with only one thought.

He was also outmaneuvered! (End of Chapter)
