Chapter 823: Soul Control Gu

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: Soul Control Gu

"Ha ha, Yang Jushan, with your intelligence, you should know this is a trap, yet you still dare to barge in. Since that’s the case, let’s fulfill your wish!"

Gu Baiyuan sneered coldly.

"Is that so? Come out, everyone! We are here to guard our village’s secret realm. Fight these people!"

Yang Jushan roared, and hundreds of people appeared in the wilderness.

All of them were skilled, not a single weakling among them.

Of course, compared to masters like Yang Qi, they were obviously not on the same level.

Although this group included an Overlord Peak like Yang Jushan, most were relatively weak, far from reaching the Overlord Realm, or even the Great Grandmaster realm.

Nonetheless, they were undoubtedly stronger than those bandits, and their combined combat power was terrifying.

The bandits, seeing this battle of immortals, quickly slipped away without staying even for a moment. If they were caught up in such a battle, they wouldn’t even know how they died.

The newly appeared people all stood beside Yang Jushan.

"Village Chief, as long as you give the order, we will not regret dying!"

Yang Qi, seeing this scene, felt something was amiss. Listening to the conversation, it seemed entirely different from what Gu Baiyuan had said.

"Ha ha, Yang Jushan, I admit your Yang Family Village people are hard to deal with, but today, your doom is certain!"

Gu Baiyuan sneered, "All your people are here except the children, right? Hmph, let’s have you all die here."

"Gu Baiyuan, don’t you need to explain to us? Why do your words sound increasingly fishy?"

Yang Qi looked at Gu Baiyuan and said coldly.

Yang Jushan glanced at Yang Qi and others, "Everyone, there’s nothing for you here. You should leave. It seems you’ve been deceived by Gu Baiyuan.

He must have told you this secret realm belongs to the Gu Family, right?

But it’s not. This secret realm is what our Yang Family Village has guarded for generations and that the Gu Family wants to seize. They even captured our villagers, trying to open the realm’s mechanism.

It’s that kid!"

He pointed to a person among the Gu Family, who had said nothing all along.

"Gu Baiyuan, you old bastard, are you trying to trick us?"

Xue Mu was stunned.

Unexpectedly, it was such a situation.

The others were also very angry.

Gu Baiyuan, however, showed no concern and smiled, "Inviting you here is because our Gu Family cannot completely deal with the Yang Family Village people.

Don’t worry, after you die, I’ll declare to the public that you died fighting the Su Mountain bandits, thus you died with honor!

Especially you, Yang Qi, do you really think I don’t know you?

My elder brother Gu Baiyi was disabled because of you, and my younger brother Gu Baiyun died because of you!

This time, isn’t my plan excellent? I can wipe out these stupid Yang Family villagers and have you die here!"

With that, he whistled.

Suddenly, many people appeared around, encircling the Yang Family villagers.

"Yang Jushan, did you really think we only had so few people? They were just bait, making you think you could succeed. In fact, more people are hidden nearby."

Gu Baiyuan sneered.

"Gu Baiyuan, you’re foolish. You’ve already exposed yourself. Those people might not help you now, and your Gu Family cannot match our Yang Family Village!"

Yang Jushan said.

"Ha ha, you’re right!"

Gu Baiyuan laughed, "Indeed, just the Gu Family alone couldn’t handle your Yang Family Village, but the people from Sea City, Su Mansion, and Jingnan Prefecture are not so simple. They are all experts.

As long as they can eliminate the Yang Family Village experts before dying, our Gu Family will have a much easier time."

"Gu Baiyuan, are you dreaming? Even if we don’t help Yang Family Village, why would we help an old fool like you? People from Su Mansion, let’s go. We won’t join this show."

Xue Mu glared at Gu Baiyuan.

"That’s right, we won’t get involved, even if it means losing the reward."

The Sea City people also wanted to leave.

They felt tricked by Gu Baiyuan, which was intolerable for them. However, as small families from Sea City, they still lacked the power to oppose the Gu Family.

But they could leave.

"It’s not that easy!"

Yang Qi shook his head, "Since this old fellow decided to have us and the Yang Family villagers slaughter each other, he must have a backup plan. We might not be able to leave."

"Ha ha ha ha, indeed, the Yangs are smart. I’m not afraid to speak out because I know you can’t escape."

Gu Baiyuan laughed.

"Nonsensical! We’re leaving now, let’s see what backup plan you have!"

Xue Mu refused to believe it and turned to leave.

He couldn’t believe, with the Gu Family people being watched by Yang Family Villagers, they’d be able to handle him.

"Ah, poof!"

Suddenly, Xue Mu spit out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning pale: "Damn it, Gu Baiyuan, you poisoned us, when did you do it?"

The others’ faces changed drastically upon hearing this.

Only Yang Qi and his two companions seemed indifferent, simply watching Gu Baiyuan with chilling intent in their eyes.

"No, we can’t possibly be poisoned. We have experts on poisons among us. When did you poison us?"

Xue Mu was simply incredulous.

He was a master of medical skills, albeit not as skilled as his father and brother, but he couldn’t possibly be poisoned without knowing.

"Ha ha, Xue Mu, your Xue Family is renowned in medicine, and I know ordinary poisons cannot affect you, let alone be detected by you.

Therefore, I had you ingest ’Soul Control Gu’!

This is a very special kind of Gu insect. It doesn’t have any offensive ability, but if you don’t obey my command, it will devour your brain and turn you into a mindless fool!"

Gu Baiyuan laughed proudly, "Soul Control Gu is very small, invisible to the naked eye. Did all of you drink water earlier? That’s where they were."

"It’s Southern Wilderness Gu Poison! What’s your connection with those people in the Mountain of Ten Thousand?"

Xue Mu frowned.

"Ha ha, you know about the Southern Wilderness Mountain of Ten Thousand, huh? I have no connection with them, but I met a friend named Gu Ling who knew about our Gu Family’s plight and was willing to help us."

Gu Baiyuan coldly laughed, "Of course, I paid a big price for this, but I think it’s worth it. As long as I can eliminate you and snatch those Nine-section Calamus, it’s definitely a bargain!"

"You are ruthless, Gu Baiyuan. If my father finds out what you did, do you think he’ll spare you? Will he spare the Gu Family?"

Xue Mu shouted.

"Yes, with so many people here, each with their own family backing them, can your Gu Family withstand such a terrifying vengeance? Hand over the antidote, or we’ll make sure to settle the score with you."

The others also started shouting.
