Chapter 997: Chapter 997

"Hahaha..." Xiang Bu Sheng laughed heartily, looking at the Gu God, and said, "Compared to your grand ambitions, my Gu God, this thing is truly insignificant. So, I think you wouldn't be stingy!"

"What exactly is it?" the Gu God asked in a deep voice.

Xiang Bu Sheng looked at the Gu God, smiling slightly, and said, "Mu Ling!"

"What!?" The Gu God's eyes widened immediately in surprise, exclaiming, "You actually want the Treasure of Zhendong from my Zhenmu Dong!?"

"They say Mu Ling can cure all the strange poisons in the world; I'm very curious to see it," Xiang Bu Sheng smiled and said, "Besides, if you, my Gu God, have acquired the Twin Life Gu, Mu Ling would be of no use to you. Why not give it to me and let it have a chance to be used? Don't you agree?"

The Gu God frowned deeply, asking in a deep voice, "Xiang Bu Sheng, on what basis do you claim Mu Ling?"

"Oh, my Gu God, you might find it not so easy to kill me. Only you and I know about tonight's events, which is best. However, if this matter leaks out, even if you, my Gu God, achieve eternal glory, you will always bear a bad name afterward," Xiang Bu Sheng said with a faint smile, "My Gu God, you're a smart person. You should clearly understand what choice to make in your heart."

The Gu God's face turned pale instantly. He gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Fine, I'll give you Mu Ling. However, if tonight's events are leaked, I promise, I will ensure that your entire Xiang Yun Dong completely disappears from the Miao Borderlands!"

"Hahaha..." Xiang Bu Sheng laughed and said, "My Gu God, rest assured. Once you acquire the Twin Life Gu, you will be the number one in the Miao Borderlands. In the future, Xiang Yun Dong will need your guidance in many aspects, and I will only follow you with no second thoughts. Moreover, if you, My Gu God, achieve eternal domination, you certainly wouldn't mistreat us, your loyal followers. Why would I say anything bad about you? That would only cause trouble for myself!"

The Gu God knew very well that Xiang Bu Sheng's words were pleasant to hear, but in reality, he was just telling him that Xiang Bu Sheng would want a share in the Gu God's other affairs in the future. The Gu God gritted his teeth; there was nothing he could do with someone like him.

Sighing, the Gu God said in a low voice, "I can give you Mu Ling, but I don't carry this Sacred Object with me at all times. Mu Ling is currently stored in the Zhenmu Palace and is guarded by Mu Chen. Once I take the Twin Life Gu, I will go down and retrieve Mu Ling for you."

"Alright!" Xiang Bu Sheng nodded and said, "My Gu God is as good as his word, and of course, I believe you. My Gu God, go ahead and start!"

After glancing at Xiang Bu Sheng, the Gu God said nothing more and walked straight to the edge of the platform. Over here, the Fire Sang girl had already fallen into a deep slumber, as if she couldn't hear any of the surrounding sounds. However, the pustules on her face seemed to have grown larger, with something faintly squirming inside, which looked quite disgusting.

The Gu God glanced at the Fire Sang girl with disgust, casually pulling her clothes over to cover her face. Then, he pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it directly into the Fire Sang girl's abdomen, as he intended to extract the Twin Life Gu.

In this cave, the Twin Life Gu had long been motionless. After all, the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu still lingered here, and no matter how strong the Twin Life Gu was, it feared the absolute number one Gu of the Miao Borderlands.

The Gu God had also sealed the Twin Life Gu with drugs at the time, so when he struck, he caught the Twin Life Gu directly. He took it out and held it in his hand, his eyes beginning to glint with an eerie light. Looking at the Twin Life Gu in his hand, he seemed to be admiring the most beautiful artwork, his face full of infatuation.

Beside him, Xiang Bu Sheng was also watching the Twin Life Gu, his face flush with excitement. However, he didn't have much of a plan for this thing, knowing he couldn't compete with the Gu God. So, he took a step back, asking only for the Gu God's Mu Ling.

Holding the Twin Life Gu, the Gu God slowly walked to the side, beginning to use a Secret Technique to subdue the Twin Life Gu. At the same time, he looked up and instructed Xiang Bu Sheng, "Go kill that woman; this matter cannot be known by a third person. Otherwise, I will definitely kill you first!"

"Rest assured, this matter will definitely not be known to anyone else!" Xiang Bu Sheng laughed as he walked toward the platform.

Over here, the Gu God took out medicine from his body, preparing to begin, but suddenly heard a gasp from Xiang Bu Sheng over there.

"What's the matter?" the Gu God frowned and asked, "Why are you making such a fuss? Haven't you seen the women of the Huo Family before? They are originally this ugly, didn't you know?"

"No...no...it's not...it's not the ugliness..." Xiang Bu Sheng stammered, unable to speak clearly, gasping, "You...you...come take a look..."

"What's there to see?" The Gu God impatiently stood up and walked to the edge of the platform to take a glance, and his face immediately changed.

On the platform, the Fire Sang girl was still lying there, with what was initially a large wound on her abdomen, which the Gu God had sliced open with a dagger. However, at this moment, the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. In this short time, the wound had already healed more than half, and from the outside, there wasn't the slightest trace of a scar.

The Gu God and Xiang Bu Sheng were both stunned; they had never seen such a situation before!

After a moment of shock, the Gu God was the first to react. He hurriedly drew his dagger and urgently said, "Quick! Kill her first! Kill her first!"

Xiang Bu Sheng also snapped back to reality, quickly taking out a dagger from his body and was about to help. Just then, the cloth covering the Fire Sang girl's face suddenly fell off, revealing her face. The sores on her face seemed to have grown much larger in this short period, and something inside was moving, as if something was struggling to fly out.

"What's going on?" Xiang Bu Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

The Gu God was also startled. As the Gu God, he had seen many strange things, but he'd never seen anything .

"Never mind, just kill her first!" the Gu God shouted, taking two steps forward, when suddenly a sore on the Fire Sang girl's face burst open, and a golden-yellow small insect flew out.

The small insect was only the size of a pinky fingernail, but it was extremely lively. Once it flew out, its wings began to vibrate, and within this cave, a buzzing wing-flapping sound suddenly erupted.

"Ah!" Xiang Bu Sheng screamed, clutching his heart and staggering backward, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth due to the sound stimulating his heart.

The Gu God was in a slightly better state than Xiang Bu Sheng but not by much. The buzzing wing-flapping sound made his heart pound wildly. He hurriedly retreated, trying to escape the cave, knowing full well that if he stayed here, he would die.

But he hadn't run far before the second sore on the Fire Sang girl's face burst, and another golden-yellow small insect flew out. Like the first one, it took to the air with its wings vibrating, and the buzzing sound intensified again. The powerful sound overwhelmed the Gu God; he took a few steps before collapsing to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth.

The Gu God struggled desperately to crawl towards the cave entrance, but he was running out of strength. Meanwhile, the sores on the Fire Sang girl's face were bursting one by one, and the golden-yellow flying insects in the air were becoming more and more numerous. The buzzing sound of the vibrating wings grew louder and louder. In the end, the overwhelming sound left the Gu God with no strength to crawl forward. Lying on the ground, he could only await death.

Looking over at the Fire Sang girl, she was sleeping soundly. Moreover, all the sores on her face had burst and were rapidly healing. What was most astonishing was that the skin, after healing, was as smooth as that of a baby. The previously pockmarked face was now replaced by snow-white delicate skin. This girl was no longer the ugly woman everyone despised. With her new skin, she was as beautiful as Huangfu Ziyu. In her dreamy slumber, she resembled a fairy-tale Snow White, too beautiful to wake!

How could the heavens create something so extraordinary?

Meanwhile, in Huo Ying's room, Zhou Yuliang and Huo Ying were sitting together. The two were relieved to have escaped death and were now extremely terrified, shuddering at the recent events.

"Isn't this Han person too strong?" Huo Ying gritted his teeth and said, "A dozen Miao ethnic group Gu Masters couldn't deal with him alone. How is that possible?"

Zhou Yuliang solemnly said, "The key issue was that these dozen Miao ethnic group Gu Masters were too weak. If it were a few Dong Masters from the Seventy-Two Dong, he would definitely not have escaped death!"

Huo Ying nodded but then sighed, "The Dong Masters of the Seventy-Two Dong each have their own interests; none would interfere with the other's matters. Let alone us, even the Gu God couldn't order them. Getting them to unite against that Han person wouldn't be easy. After all, the Gu God is protecting him!"

"If the Gu God can't command, then perhaps the Gu Mother could?" Zhou Yuliang glanced at Huo Ying and said, "If you became the Gu Mother, wouldn't all of the Miao Borderlands be under your command?"

"How could it be that easy?" Huo Ying pouted and said, "Only someone who cultivates the Golden Silkworm Gu can be the Miaojiang Witch. In my current situation, where can I cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu? Becoming a Gu Mother, that's just a dream!"

"Isn't it just a Golden Silkworm Gu? What's so difficult?" Zhou Yuliang smiled slightly and said, "I can help you cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu!"

Huo Ying stared at Zhou Yuliang for a while and suddenly laughed, "Don't joke around; you helping me cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu? Hahaha, you're so funny!"

"I'm serious!" Zhou Yuliang said with a serious expression, "I really can help you cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu!"

Seeing Zhou Yuliang's expression, Huo Ying was a bit surprised and asked, "How... how can you do that? Isn't it impossible? Only women can cultivate the Golden Silkworm Gu; otherwise, how could there be a Miaojiang Witch? You're a man; how could you cultivate it?"
