Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005

Facing these three Golden Silkworm Gu, Mu Chen naturally did not dare to be careless. Seeing these three Golden Silkworm Gu flying over, he immediately let out a long whistle. The Silver Fox also stood up at once, its fur bristling, staring intently at the three incoming Golden Silkworm Gu.

Just as the Golden Silkworm Gu were about to reach Mu Chen, he let out another long whistle. The Silver Fox leaped up like lightning, pouncing towards the three Golden Silkworm Gu.

The Silver Fox was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had pounced in front of the three Golden Silkworm Gu, raising its paw to strike one of the Golden Silkworm Gu.

The Silver Fox was nearly a foot long, making it dozens or hundreds of times larger than the Golden Silkworm Gu. Even its paw was larger than a Golden Silkworm Gu. With this strike on the Golden Silkworm Gu, everyone thought it would surely be knocked down, but the result was completely unexpected.

The Golden Silkworm Gu wasn't moved at all; instead, the Silver Fox let out a shrill cry, quickly retracting its paw as if it had been attacked. At the same time, the other two Golden Silkworm Gu flew forward, with one piercing the Silver Fox's body, creating a gaping bloody hole like a bullet.

The other Golden Silkworm Gu charged directly at the Silver Fox's head. That small creature crashing into the Silver Fox sent it crashing to the ground, covered in blood, unable to rise again.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned. Everyone knew the strength of Mu Chen's Silver Fox, as it was one of the top-ranked Gu Insects in the Miao Borderlands. Unexpectedly, it was so weak against the Golden Silkworm Gu. The reputation of the number one Gu in the Miao Borderlands was well-deserved!

Seeing this, Huo Ying laughed heartily, his face full of pride, pointing at Mu Chen and shouting, "Kill him!"

The three Golden Silkworm Gu, as if obeying Huo Ying's command, charged straight at Mu Chen with overwhelming momentum, clearly intending to take his life.

Mu Chen sighed. When he saw the Silver Fox's tragic defeat, he realized he was doomed. The might of the Golden Silkworm Gu was unquestionable. To challenge the Golden Silkworm Gu was to seek death!

Mu Chen slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the moment the Golden Silkworm Gu would pierce his heart.

Everyone around widened their eyes; some wanted to plead, but it was obviously too late. The speed of the three Golden Silkworm Gu was faster than anyone could speak.

Just as the Golden Silkworm Gu were about to pierce Mu Chen's heart, suddenly a buzzing sound resounded through the Gu Mother Hall, as if something was vibrating its wings.

Hearing this sound, everyone's hearts pounded, and the Gu Insects they carried became noticeably restless as if awoken by something.

The three Golden Silkworm Gu flying in the air also stopped abruptly as the sound arose, seeming stunned. They neither advanced nor retreated, just hovering in the air.

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. For a moment, within this grand hall, there was only the buzzing of vibrating wings, as if this was the only sound in the world.

Zhou Yuliang, standing beside Huo Ying, was the first to react. While everyone was still in shock, he quietly turned around and slipped away from the other side. He was not foolish; seeing the actions of the three Golden Silkworm Gu, he knew the situation had spiraled out of his control.

After a while, everyone came to their senses, looking towards the source of the sound. Each face reflected astonishment and shock, unable to fathom what had happened. As for Mu Chen, he widened his eyes in surprise, staring at the entrance of the hall.

Seeing the situation, Huo Ying was outraged, shouting, "Who dares to act like a ghost in my Miao Borderlands? Courting death!"

As Huo Ying spoke, he emitted two consecutive whistles, commanding the three Golden Silkworm Gu to attack the intruder. However, the three Golden Silkworm Gu remained as if stupefied, motionless in the air.

Huo Ying summoned them several times, but seeing them unmoved, he became even more furious, shouting, "Everyone listen up, immediately capture the one pretending to be a ghost for me!"

If it had been before, everyone would have acted immediately at Huo Ying's words. But now, no one responded at all when she repeated her command.

Among everyone, only Huo Lie shared the same thought as her. Seeing no Dong Master from the Seventy-Two Dong taking action, Huo Lie shouted in anger, "Are you all fools? Didn't you hear the Supreme Gu Mother's command? She ordered you to capture the one pretending to be a ghost. Did you hear it?"

The crowd exchanged looks, not knowing what to do. Mu Chen turned his head to glance at Huo Lie, sighing, "Huo Lie, do you still not understand at this point? The one who just arrived is the true Supreme Gu Mother of Miao Borderlands. Your daughter is just an impostor!"

Regarding the Golden Silkworm Gu, the Miao people had only heard of it in legends. However, hearing the buzzing sound, everyone basically guessed that this was the legendary foremost Gu of the Miao Borderlands. Therefore, upon hearing Mu Chen's words, everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Nonsense!" Huo Lie roared in anger, "My daughter cultivated the Golden Silkworm Gu, how can that be false? The one who came is the impostor, and as for this sound, who knows what it is? You dare suspect the Supreme Gu Mother. Mu Chen, your crime is unredeemable by death!"

"Who is the true Gu Mother and who is the impostor, the Dong Masters of the Seventy-Two Dong are all here; everyone can naturally discern!" Mu Chen calmly looked at Huo Lie and said, "Who is beyond redemption by death, even the Gu Mother can distinguish!"

The Dong Masters of the Seventy-Two Dong all glanced at Huo Lie simultaneously, his expression turned even more severe, he suddenly gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll kill you!"

As Huo Lie said this, he summoned his Zi Ying with a howl, intending to use it against Mu Chen. However, just as Zi Ying appeared, it immediately lay on the ground, trembling all over, continuously shivering, completely unresponsive to Huo Lie's command.

"Now the Dong Masters can see clearly!" Mu Chen shouted loudly, "The Golden Silkworm Gu is the king of Gu insects in Miao Borderlands, all Gu insects dare not challenge its majesty. In front of the Golden Silkworm Gu, all Gu insects can only submit, which is why this Zi Ying won't move. And just now, those three of Huo Ying's weren't real Golden Silkworm Gus, otherwise, how could my Silver Fox Gu dare to fight them? It's obvious who is the real Gu Mother and who is the fake!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, looking at the trembling Zi Ying, they were completely convinced that the one fluttering outside was the real Golden Silkworm Gu. But, who then is the true Gu Mother?

Huo Lie's face turned pale, at this moment, he was utterly despondent. His daughter was not the Gu Mother, and the matter of impersonating the Gu Mother was an absolute capital crime in the Miao Borderlands. This time, not only his daughter Huo Ying, but even he, as her father, would also be implicated. Because, in the Miao Borderlands, the prestige of the Gu Mother is inviolable!

For the moment, however, the crowd did not have time to worry about him; everyone was closely watching the entrance of the main hall. The sound of wings flapping was getting closer, meaning the Gu Mother was also getting nearer, and everyone was awaiting the Gu Mother's arrival.

Finally, under the watchful and anxious eyes of the crowd, a swarm of golden flying insects flew in through the entrance of the main hall.

"Golden Silkworm Gu! It really is the Golden Silkworm Gu!" a Dong Master couldn't help tremblingly exclaiming.

"This is the real Golden Silkworm Gu!" someone shouted again, and now everyone was completely excited. This time, they saw the real Gu Mother, and their emotions were much more intense than when the three Golden Silkworm Gus of Huo Ying appeared before.

Mu Chen also took a long breath, since the Gu Mother was not Huo Ying, he felt more secure. After all, the Gu Mother was the common master of Miao Borderlands, if it were truly someone like Huo Ying, it would be a tragic thing for Miao Borderlands.

But then, who is the real Gu Mother?

Finally, behind those golden flying insects, a beautifully shaped woman slowly walked in. The woman wore a cloak on her head, fully covering her face, making it impossible to see her appearance. She wore a man's coat, which, though quite large, could not hide her beautiful figure. Only a pair of jade-like hands were exposed, yet the skin was smooth and delicate as if made of creamy fat. From just this pair of hands, it could be guessed that this woman was an absolute beauty!

Seeing this woman, Mu Chen was stunned, for he could see that the clothes this woman wore were those of the Gu God. Wasn't the Gu God dead inside the Gu Storage Cave? How could she be wearing the Gu God's clothes? Could it be that this woman also came out of the Gu Storage Cave?

While Mu Chen was astonished, the other Dong Masters of the Seventy-Two Dong had already reacted, kneeling down simultaneously, and bowing long with a cry: "Hail the Supreme Gu Mother!"

Seeing everyone , Mu Chen hurriedly knelt to the ground too. This was the true Gu Mother; he knelt willingly.

The woman did not speak, she lightly paced and walked slowly to the center of the main hall. There, Mu Chen's Silver Fox was lying on the ground, covered in blood, seriously injured by Huo Ying's three Golden Silkworm Gus earlier, on the brink of death, struggling to survive.

The woman bent down to hold the Silver Fox in her palms, sighed lightly, and said, "We're all Miao people, why the need for mutual slaughter? Wouldn't it be better to stop the Gu Battle at a point?"

The woman's voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed throughout the main hall. Everyone looked over at Huo Ying, who sat at the Gu Mother's seat, her face full of resentment and anger. Yet, resentment is resentment; she knew very well that this seat no longer belonged to her!

Carrying the Silver Fox, the woman walked slowly to the Gu Mother's seat, quietly looking at Huo Ying, and softly said, "Sister, are you well?"
