The two arrived at the place of the Gu-removal master that Zhao Fanghua had mentioned.
As soon as they entered the house.
"Ah!"
Zhao Fanghua was startled because the floor of the room was crawling with poisonous insects and snakes.
Yun Fan didn't know how this master managed it; so many venomous creatures mixed together and yet remained peaceful.
"Don't disturb my guests, scatter!"
As a voice sounded, these venomous creatures slowly dispersed, as if they could understand human speech.
At this moment, an old man appeared before the two.
"Two guests, what can I do for you?"
He asked Yun Fan and Zhao Fanghua.
Yun Fan took a close look at him and realized that this master's strength was unusual, possessing the cultivation of the Houtian realm.
Don't forget, this was the mortal world, and having this level of strength was already like finding a phoenix's feather.
"Senior, we've come to ask you to remove a Gu!"
Zhao Fanghua said respectfully.
In her memory, this master had lived here since she could remember, for over ten years.
"Remove a Gu?"
The other party looked at the two with confusion, as it had been almost unheard of for anyone to be afflicted by Gu since the destruction of the Gu Clan.
"Yes!"
Yun Fan said, "Please, senior, take a look for me!"
"Very well!"
He said to Yun Fan, "Sit down first!"
Yun Fan sat on a chair, and then he began to examine Yun Fan's body.
"Thousand-Year Love Gu!"
He recognized the origin of the Love Gu at first glance.
"What?"
The two looked at him in shock.
He said, "This Thousand-Year Love Gu has a great origin!"
"What great origin?"
Zhao Fanghua asked subconsciously.
He said, "Love Gu is a type of Gu sorcery used to control oneself and one's lover, but that is a general Love Gu. Yours is different; yours is ten times more potent. How did you endure it?"
Yun Fan was speechless; he had simply endured it. What else could he do?
"Speaking of this King of Love Gu, there is a complex story behind it!"
He immediately said, "Back then, the King of Love Gu was personally raised by the Queen of the Gu Clan, intending to use it with her lover one day!"
"What?"
Yun Fan and Zhao Fanghua were shocked. Was such a possessive love truly love?
He continued, "But unfortunately, her lover did not love her at all. So, in her anger, she tried to force it into her lover's body, but it ultimately failed. Because of this, her actions led to consequences that the Gu Clan could not bear!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan asked, confused.
He said, "Because the person the Queen favored was the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley!"
As soon as he said this, a storm of shock surged through Yun Fan and Zhao Fanghua's hearts. They had only asked casually, never expecting such explosive news to surface.
Thus, their hearts became curious.
"Sixty years ago, the Queen of the Gu Clan wanted to control the Old Heavenly Master, so that he would only love her in this life and the next. But unfortunately, the Old Heavenly Master did not love her at all. Even though she wanted to control him personally, it ultimately failed."
"What happened after that?"
Yun Fan asked curiously. He only knew that the Gu Clan had been destroyed decades ago, but he didn't know why.
Now, it seemed that it was likely connected to his master.
He said, "Later, the Queen of the Gu Clan was completely disheartened, so she wanted revenge on the Old Heavenly Master!"
"Revenge?"
"Precisely!"
He said, "She used her own death to seek a lifetime of guilt from the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley. She wanted the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley to live in guilt, but unfortunately, her death did not bring the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley any guilt!"
"Therefore, at this time, a young man who had always admired her led the entire Gu Clan to wreak havoc upon the world. Is not Ghost Valley's mission to protect the common people of China? Then he would make all the common people pay the price for the Queen!"
"In the end, it attracted the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley to take action, destroying the entire Gu Clan. Of course, outsiders had no idea that the Gu Clan was destroyed by the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan and Zhao Fanghua instantly understood.
At this moment, he said to Yun Fan, "However, these are all old matters. The Gu Clan has been destroyed for decades and has finally become a thing of the past."
"Senior, can you remove my Love Gu?"
Yun Fan asked. Of course, he and Zhao Fanghua did not tell him they were from the Ghost Valley sect, or he might not help.
The old man, nearing the end of his life, said, "I can, but I don't have a hundred percent certainty."
"I am willing to try. I wonder what your fee is?"
Yun Fan asked.
"I am old, what kind of reward could I ask for?"
He asked curiously, "I just don't know how you got afflicted with this Love Gu?"
He was very curious. After all, this King of Love Gu had fallen into overseas hands after the destruction of the Gu Clan.
Unexpectedly, after decades, it had reappeared in the mortal world and was used on Yun Fan.
One must know that this King of Love Gu was a rare divine item in the world, cultivated with the blood of a peerless master.
Once the King of Love Gu was ground into powder and fed to someone, even if that person was powerful, they would not notice anything amiss.
Because once the King of Love Gu came into contact with other things, it became colorless and odorless. Not only could it be ingested, but it could also be infused into the opponent's body with the user's power, which was extremely bizarre.
Yun Fan said, "This matter is a long story. In any case, I was tricked!"
The thought of Ai Li's treacherous yet innocent face made Yun Fan extremely angry. He vowed to deal with that little vixen sooner or later.
"Mmm!"
The old man said to Yun Fan, "The only way now is for me to use a Gu-devouring worm and put it into your body, and then use it to devour the Love Gu!"
"Of course, this is the King of Love Gu after all. Whether it can be devoured or not is yet to be known!"
He informed Yun Fan of the risks.
"I agree!"
Yun Fan nodded. He couldn't bear the torment of the Love Gu any longer.
"I will go outside and guard you!"
Zhao Fanghua walked out.
At this moment, the old man took out a golden Gu worm and said to Yun Fan, "When it devours the Love Gu, you will be in great pain, but you must endure it!"
"Okay!"
Yun Fan nodded.
Then, he made an incision on Yun Fan's body. The originally motionless Love Gu entered Yun Fan's body through the opening.
"Unh!"
Instantly, Yun Fan felt a burst of pain, his face turning pale.
At this moment, the old man smiled at Yun Fan, "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to kill someone from that old fellow's sect and avenge myself!"
"What do you mean?"
Yun Fan had a bad premonition.
He said, "I was that young man back then, the young man who avenged the Queen!"
"What?"
Yun Fan froze in place, unexpectedly realizing that this old man was the culprit behind the destruction of the Gu Clan.
"No need to pretend. I know you are a descendant of Ghost Valley!"
He said coldly to Yun Fan.
"How did you know?"
Yun Fan remembered that he had not revealed that he was from Ghost Valley, nor had Zhao Fanghua.
He said to Yun Fan, "Because I detected the same cultivation technique on you as the Old Heavenly Master!"
This was indeed Yun Fan's carelessness. Although the cultivation techniques of Ghost Valley were all-encompassing, the core mantra was the supreme mantra of Ghost Valley.
An ordinary person would naturally not be able to tell, but this old man had fought with the Old Heavenly Master before, so he could naturally discern it.
"Also, the constitution of being immune to all poisons. Although many people have it, the Ghost Valley's constitution of being immune to all poisons is stronger than other constitutions. Just now, to confirm again, I smeared a layer of potent poison on the Gu worm. As expected, your constitution is the constitution of being immune to all poisons. Because this poison can only be withstood by the Ghost Valley's constitution of being immune to all poisons, you clearly withstood it."
Upon hearing this, Yun Fan realized how insidious the other party was.
"After he destroyed the Gu Clan back then, I fled here with my heavily injured body and hid for decades. If he hadn't crippled my Dantian, my cultivation wouldn't have fallen to the Houtian realm!"
In fact, he was a Gu Clan expert at the Xiantian realm back then. The Old Heavenly Master was still young, and he thought he could defeat him. However, the other party, with just one move, shattered his Dantian. If it hadn't been for the cover of many Gu Clan members, he would never have escaped alive.
He said to Yun Fan with a grim expression, "For so many years, I have endured humiliation and lived just for revenge. Even if I cannot kill him, I will kill his descendants and make him live in pain!"
"Old man, you're seeking death!"
Zhao Fanghua, who had overheard the conversation, rushed in from outside.
"I'll give you a chance, remove the Gu worm from him!"
Zhao Fanghua yelled furiously.
However, the old man said, "It's too late. This Gu worm is the Overlord Gu that I've cultivated for many years. The Gu worm has now dissolved within him. In a short while, he will explode and die from the power within! Hahahahaha!"
After a burst of wild laughter, he closed his eyes and instantly fell to the ground. "Queen, I have avenged you. Although I couldn't help you kill that heartless man, I have killed his descendant. Now I can finally die without regret and follow you."
"He's dead!"
The two did not expect him to commit suicide. This scene caught them off guard.
At this moment, Yun Fan's face was contorted in pain.
"I'm sorry, junior brother. I've harmed you!"
Zhao Fanghua blamed herself. If she hadn't insisted on bringing Yun Fan here to try, Yun Fan wouldn't be in danger.
If something were to happen to Yun Fan, she wouldn't want to live either.
"Fifth Senior Sister, don't worry. Although this Overlord Gu is incredibly potent, I can absorb this power!"
Yun Fan comforted her.
"Really?"
Zhao Fanghua's face showed shock.
Yun Fan nodded, "Of course it's true. I didn't expect this old fellow to try to kill me but end up helping me instead. This isn't harming me; it's clearly giving me a great fortune!"
He hadn't expected that in the blink of an eye, a danger would turn into a surprise.
"What do we do now?"
Facing Zhao Fanghua's excited question, Yun Fan said, "Fifth Senior Sister, go and guard outside. Leave this place to me!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Fanghua did not dare to disturb Yun Fan and went outside to guard.
Inside the room, this potent power continued to erupt. Yun Fan was working hard to absorb and neutralize it. It had to be said that if it were anyone else, they would have already exploded and died.
But Yun Fan was an exception, because he had only recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm, and his body was still somewhat empty, needing to be replenished.
Coupled with his constitution, these potent forces were unable to explode him.
Not only did he not explode, but his strength was rapidly increasing. Soon, he reached a brand new realm.
That's right, it was the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Even though it was just one step, it was a leap of thousands of miles!
This realm was already invincible in the mortal world, with few opponents. Even in the hidden sects, this realm was quite formidable.
In Yun Fan's current understanding, even the sect leaders of the top ten sects only reached this level.
Therefore, imperceptibly, Yun Fan could already contend with those sect leaders. What was this if not a great fortune?
What left Yun Fan feeling unsatisfied was that although the Overlord Gu's power was potent, it was also limited. After he grew to this realm, it was gone.
This made Yun Fan speechless. If there had been more, perhaps he could have advanced further, but he was not a greedy person.
The old man from the Gu Clan had painstakingly tried to kill him, but in the end, he had inadvertently given him a great fortune.
At this moment, Zhao Fanghua walked in from outside. She could now feel that Yun Fan was even more unfathomable.
Her suspended heart finally completely settled down.
"Junior brother, have you resolved the Love Gu?"
Under Zhao Fanghua's repeated questioning, Yun Fan remembered this matter. He presumed the Love Gu had likely been dissolved by the potent force.
To test it, Yun Fan began to think of Zhao Fanghua in his heart.
"Hiss!"
The next moment, Yun Fan gasped in pain. He had thought that by misfortune, he would resolve the Love Gu, but it seemed completely futile.
"No!"
Yun Fan said miserably. As long as he thought of other women, no matter who they were, he would suffer torment.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fanghua's expression changed instantly.
"Is this Love Gu so potent?"
Yun Fan also gave a bitter smile. He knew that this was the King of Love Gu, which was originally intended for his master, the Old Heavenly Master.
He never expected to have taken it on by mistake. Who could he complain to? He just didn't know how the King of Love Gu had fallen into Ai Li's hands.
However, this trip was not without its gains. For example, he had now entered the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, bringing him closer to declaring war on the hidden sects.
Although his third senior sister was holding the line against the hidden sects, Yun Fan also wanted to grow rapidly and not place all the pressure on his third senior sister. Su Dan Novel Network
...
In Jiangnan, two big shots from hidden sects were arriving.
Compared to the Xiantian realm martial artists of the past, these two were the true powerhouses. One was Gu Qianfeng, the sect leader of the Sword Sect, and the other was Ye Wuya, the sect leader of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
"Brother Gu, do you think Zhao Feiyue will come on this trip?"
Ye Wuya asked with concern. They were on this trip under the orders of Alliance Leader Zuo, with the simple objective of eliminating Yun Fan and then the other members of Ghost Valley.
In their opinion, the only threatening person in Ghost Valley was Zhao Feiyue. Others posed no threat.
Although there was also the Old Heavenly Master, who appeared and disappeared without a trace, was even more terrifying, given Alliance Leader Zuo's unbridled actions, they could easily guess that something might have happened to the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley, or Alliance Leader Zuo would not be so audacious.
Gu Qianfeng said, "Brother Ye, don't worry. Something has happened to the Old Heavenly Master of Ghost Valley. Although Zhao Feiyue is powerful, with Alliance Leader Zuo suppressing her, she is in no position to help herself!"
"Our objective is to eliminate the others from Ghost Valley, and Zhao Feiyue will be handled by him personally!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuya breathed a sigh of relief. The reason they were so apprehensive was that Zhao Feiyue had already surpassed the sect leader level.
Fortunately, Alliance Leader Zuo was going to take action, otherwise, if Zhao Feiyue were allowed to grow further, they would be the ones suffering.
In addition, Yun Fan, the current sect leader of Ghost Valley in the mortal world, had heaven-defying potential, breaking through to Foundation Establishment at the age of twenty.
If Bai Xiong's subordinate had not escaped and reported back last time, they would not have known that a young man they had dismissed had grown to such an extent without them noticing.
"Eliminating Yun Fan is simple, but Alliance Leader Zuo probably has more than just this intention, right?"
The shrewd Ye Wuya saw through this at a glance.
Gu Qianfeng said, "That's right, we also have to kill one more person, and that person is Ye Ji!"
The thought of Ye Ji brought expressions of regret to both their faces. The matter between Yun Fan and Ye Ji had spread throughout the hidden sects.
No one had expected such a beautiful woman to have been taken by Yun Fan, or rather, to have actively pursued Yun Fan.
This had shattered the hearts of many men in the hidden sects.
Of course, their reason for killing Ye Ji had nothing to do with this. They were killing Ye Ji entirely because Ye Ji had already stood on the opposite side of the hidden sects.
If Ye Ji was not eliminated, then for the hidden sects, she would definitely be a dangerous factor.
"First, we eliminate Yun Fan, and then we go kill Ye Ji!"
