The moment the system reward first popped up, Jiang Beiran was still wondering how he could complete the option of catching five Emperor Gu.
But after thinking about it for a moment, I realized that what was completed was not the option of this Emperor Gu, but the option that the system asked him to first destroy the Lanwu Gorge formation when he planned to counterattack.
Not only that, Jiang Beiran also wanted to understand another thing.
That's why the system didn't reward him when he broke the formation, but waited until he got the Emperor Gu.
Because the meaning of the system is very clear, the reason why he is asked to break the Lanwu Gorge formation first is to remind him that the other five countries also have the existence of Emperor Gu. When attacking, don't destroy it too much and destroy the Emperor Gu.
died.
In other words, he was told not to alert others and let those Gu cultivators run away with the Emperor Gu.
However, Jiang Beiran felt that the possibility of the latter was unlikely, because before they reached Lanwu Gorge, Gu cultivators should have had enough time to transfer the Emperor Gu, but it was still in Lanwu Gorge.
Of course, it is also possible that those Gu cultivators thought that Emperor Gu was the safest when hidden in this formation, so they did not touch him, but Gu cultivators from the other five countries may not necessarily think so.
'Anyway... let's find out the locations of those Emperor Gu before counterattacking.'
As for how to get the location of these Emperor Gu, Jiang Beiran also thought about it. Since Yun Ruo buried the Emperor Gu, which he called the "seed", in the Lanwu Gorge, there should be other "traitors" in the other five countries.
Take charge of this matter.
And now the list of these "rapists" is all in Jiang Beiran's hands.
Originally, I thought of keeping them first to see if they could have any miraculous effects later, but now it seems that they have to be arrested in advance.
"Let's go, the matter here is over." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he looked at Taoist Zhan Yi and asked, "How is the situation over there?"
Just as Taoist Zhan Yi was about to speak, he suddenly smiled and said: "I originally wanted to answer you by saying that there is not much progress, but when I think about it carefully, there is actually progress, and it is quite a progress."
Jiang Beiran thought for a moment after listening, and then replied: "You are referring to... Dahu?"
"Hahaha, Master Jiang is indeed Master Jiang. He is really smart. Yes, I am talking about Dahu!"
The reason Jiang Beiran guessed that Taoist Zhan Yi was talking about Dahu was because he suffered heavy injuries when he tried to capture Xuansheng's soul last time and almost fell there instead.
The reason is simply that Xuansheng's soul is too strong for Taoist Zhan Yi to deal with, but now that Dahu, the "Ghost King" exists, he naturally has a lot more confidence.
"Dahu." After learning Taoist Zhan Yi's thoughts, Jiang Beiran turned around and shouted to Dahu.
"My benefactor, please tell me." Dahu immediately replied.
"Can you control your powers now?"
After hearing this, Dahu shook his hands and said, "I...I don't know either."
At this time, Taoist Zhan Yi interjected: "As long as you can use the power that scared me away just now, that's enough."
After hearing this, Dahu scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was worried that you would hurt my benefactor just now, so I rushed out in a hurry. Now..."
As Dahu spoke, he tried to explode that power again, but his body didn't move at all.
"I'm sorry, I can't seem to get it out." Dahu said very apologetically.
After hearing this, Taoist Zhan Yi touched his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "How about you lend me your friend for a few days, and I'll teach him how to use his power."
"Okay." Taoist Zhan Yi nodded, waved to Dahu and said, "Then you can follow me for the next few days. After you learn the skills, you can protect your benefactor."
After hearing this, Dahu turned his head and looked at Jiang Beiran, and asked: "My dear benefactor, is that okay?"
"Well, go ahead and listen to this master. He is an expert in this field."
"Yes! My benefactor." After Dahu said this, he floated in front of Taoist Zhan Yi and bowed: "Although I am very stupid, I will definitely learn hard."
"Hahaha, easy to say, easy to say." Nodding towards Dahu with satisfaction, Taoist Zhan Yi looked at Jiang Beiran and said: "Leave Dahu to me, I promise to teach him how to use this gift within ten days."
I will let you know when the power is ready."
At this time, Xu Meiying suddenly smiled and said: "It's not like I can only learn skills by following you." After speaking, she stretched out her hand and patted Dahu on the shoulder and said: "Haha, I haven't encountered such a thing before, don't be afraid.
Go with grandma, grandma will teach you well."
Seeing Xu Meiying come out to "steal business", Taoist Zhan Yi was immediately unhappy: "Master Jiang has agreed to hand over Dahu to me, what do you mean by interfering with me?"
"Look at what you said, what do you mean by interfering with each other? The old woman didn't say that she wouldn't let you teach, but she just said that she would teach with you. With one more person to teach, Dahu can learn faster."
As soon as Xu Meiying finished speaking, the jade-faced woman also nodded and said: "What I am saying is that it is definitely better to be taught by several people than by one person. After all, we don't know what is the most suitable route for Dahu now."
"Shu Mu, why do you even..."
Hearing that even Yu Shumu, who usually stayed aloof from the world, wanted to come out to "get a share of the pie," Taoist Zhan Yi couldn't help but widen his eyes with surprise.
However, he was not completely incomprehensible. After all, even top ghost cultivators like them had never heard of ghosts like Dahu, so curiosity was inevitable.
They didn't want to poach Jiang Beiran's thoughts and courage. They simply wanted to see how big Dahu's potential was, and to make a good relationship. Maybe they would ask Dahu for help in the future.
Seeing how many people were robbing Dahu, Jiang Beiran smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave it to you all, Dahu. I still have some things to do, so I'll take the first step."
"Okay, okay, Master Jiang, just trust us and leave Dahu to us. I guarantee that he won't suffer any loss." Xu Meiying said with a smile.
Taoist Zhan Yi, who was a little slower, had no choice but to follow: "Yes, just go about your business with peace of mind, we will take good care of Dahu."
After bowing his hands to several people, Jiang Beiran turned around and walked towards the outside of Lanwu Gorge.
"I didn't expect you to start fulfilling your destiny as a man of destiny so soon."
Just when Jiang Beiran walked a long distance away, Gu Liangren's voice suddenly sounded in Jiang Beiran's ears.
Looking back in surprise, Jiang Beiran found that Gu Liangren had arrived behind him at some point.
"What does Gu Xianweng mean by this?" Jiang Beiran asked with some confusion.
"The reincarnation of heaven and the harmony of the three lives. What do you think is the reason for the sudden invasion of Gu cultivators this time?"
"I don't know, please ask the immortal to clarify my doubts."
Gu Liangren smiled slightly and replied: "It's all due to karma."
…
"It's... it's... ah!!!"
In Yuancheng, in an execution chamber that was completely isolated by Jiang Beiran's formation, seven Xuan Zun and Xuan Sheng who were controlled by Gu were lying on the ground struggling in pain.
Jiang Beiran always acted vigorously and resolutely. After knowing the key to breaking the situation, he organized his manpower as soon as he returned to Yuancheng and implemented the plan to catch all the "rape" cultivators and imprison them all in the same place.
With the previous experience of interrogating Yun Ruo, Jiang Beiran easily used the Emperor Gu to ask about the secrets they had hidden in their hearts.
Like Yun Ruo, they didn't know much, but they also named two key places.
It should be as important as Xifeng Village and Lanwu Gorge, and will become the top priority in Jiang Beiran's counterattack plan.
After asking for these key information, Jiang Beiran wanted to ask more questions, but these seven people had reached their physical and mental limits. If the torture continued, they might be killed by the poison planted in their bodies or
Replacement.
Relying on the power of the Emperor Gu and ordering the Gu in the minds of these "traitors" not to mess around, Jiang Beiran exited the execution chamber.
"I'll leave the rest to you." After closing the door, Jiang Beiran cupped his hands towards Ji Yu, who was responsible for guarding them.
"Don't worry." Ji Yu, holding the sword, nodded.
After Jiang Beiran left, Ji Yu leaned against the door and slowly closed his eyes, entering a meditative state.
After returning to Fei Mansion, Jiang Beiran looked at Qu Yangze, who had nothing unusual, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "You performed well this time."
He still clearly remembered that the last time he took out the King Gu from Qu Yangze's body, his body was twisted like a Transformer, and the thirteen King Gu rebelled wildly in his body.
Afterwards, Jiang Beiran told Qu Yangze that he should not just regard himself as a container for raising them, but should become the master of these poisons so that they would not dare to make mistakes.
Facts have proved that Qu Yangze did a good job. This time after Jiang Beiran took the emperor Gu away, the king Gu in his body did not "make a big fuss in heaven", but stayed obediently in his own land.
After returning the Emperor Gu to Qu Yangze's body, Jiang Beiran couldn't help but think of the Emperor Gu contained in the red jar.
‘Should I put it into Qu Yangze’s body too...’
There is no need to prove how powerful Qu Yangze's Gu-nurturing body is.
Those twelve King Gu were just ordinary Gu before they were planted in his body, but now not only have they all evolved into King Gu, but each of them has exploded in combat power.
Especially after Jiang Beiran's mystical points in "Poison" increased dramatically last time, his understanding of Poison became even deeper.
We know that judging whether a King Gu is powerful requires observation from many aspects, and toxicity is only one part of it.
In addition, the imperial Gu, which could be said to have almost no grade at all, has now been raised by Qu Yangze until it becomes fat and white. Although Jiang Beiran has no reference, he can judge its current status with the extra knowledge of Gu in his mind.
It has reached level five.
This grade is definitely considered a treasure even within the Gu clan.
To sum up, Qu Yangze's Gu-nurturing body can be said to be extremely effective in strengthening Gu insects. If you put Emperor Gu into it and raise it, you will definitely get very good results.
It's just that this Emperor Gu is also an unknown thing to Jiang Beiran, and the evil energy contained in it is too heavy now. After thinking about it again and again, he gave up this decision and planned to wait until he fully understands these Emperor Gu in the future.
"Well done, keep it up and remember you are their master."
"Yes, Master." Qu Yangze, who was praised, replied happily.
…
After about half a day passed, seven Xuanshengs in the execution room were covered in sweat. Xuansheng slowly woke up, but found that he could not even get up because his hands and feet were bound by talismans.
Normally, such a small trick would not be taken seriously by them, but now they are extremely weak, and the one who imprisoned them is Jiang Beiran.
The Jiang Beiran who brought Xuanlong Continent back from the brink of destruction in one fell swoop!
"I have long heard that Jiang Beiran is proficient in all mysterious arts. I tried it today and it is really extraordinary, hahaha..."
"Old man Zhen, you can still laugh at this time? Are you really not afraid of death?"
"I can laugh whenever I want. What does it have to do with whether I am afraid of death or not?"
"Damn, madman." Lian Yongan spat and tried to break the spell that restricted his hands and feet. However, this thin piece of gold paper seemed to be harder than anything in the world. No matter how hard he tried, he could not break it.
.
After trying it for more than ten times, Lian Yongan, who couldn't feel any change in the talisman paper, gave up and lay on the ground breathing heavily.
In fact, the seven of them were mentally prepared for being arrested today, because after arriving in Tong State, they found that they had lost contact with Yun Ruo, and in normal times, they would actually contact each other regularly.
Of course they also thought about running away, but under Jiang Beiran's instructions, Tongguo was not only impregnable externally, but also impregnable internally. No one could leave Yuancheng without his permission.
The strong men of the Holy Realm are personally responsible for patrolling, and the city defense can be said to be watertight.
So even though they thought about running away countless times, they couldn't find any chance.
So they could only hope that Yun Ruo was just in seclusion or something happened to her, but they also knew that this could only be a lie to themselves.
At this time, an old man sitting in the corner forcibly sat up and sighed: "Jiang Beiran's methods are so powerful that he can suppress the poison that the Lord planted in our minds. Where did he get the emperor's poison from?
"
For a while, the other people were silent.
They thought that one day they would be caught, but they never thought that someone could pry open their mouths so easily.
Just as Jiang Beiran expected, the Gu Clan had set restrictions when they planted the poison for them. Once they wanted to betray the Gu Clan or said something they shouldn't have said, they would immediately explode and die.
So before they were arrested, they had already made up their mind that no matter who came, they would not say a word.
As a result, as soon as Jiang Beiran appeared, all their long psychological preparations were in vain, and they spilled the beans on their biggest secrets.
In the end, if Jiang Beiran hadn't wanted to save a few of them, they would probably have continued talking.
"Before, I didn't understand how the miasma in Tong State could be dispelled so quickly. Now it's clear that there is an Emperor Gu in Jiangbei, and it's such a powerful Emperor Gu."
"Yeah...no one can really think of this."
For a moment, there was silence in the execution chamber.
