Chapter 144: Whether She Can Be Saved Depends on Her Fortune

Seeing Long Yin's man-eating expression, Li Dengfeng's heart sank to the bottom.

He never expected that mentioning a Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu would enrage these great Seniors; truly, man proposes but God disposes.

"Senior, I... I meant a junior from my Tiangang Sect was afflicted with a Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu."

Li Dengfeng said in terror, sweat profusely streaming down his cheeks.

At this moment, Mu Qingge inquired,

"Sister Long, what exactly happened?"

Long Yin was radiating Evil Qi that soared to the heavens, gritting her teeth and saying each word distinctly,

"Those who possess the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu deserve to die, all of them."

Then, a crystalline tear fell from the corner of Long Yin's eye as she recalled an unbearable past, and then transmitted the memory as a Divine Sense image to Mu Qingge.

She remembered it was before the Black Dragon Clan was captured and taken to the Hell Realm, and Long Yin did not yet have her daughter, Long Xuan.

At that time, her other child, named Long Juechen, was the pride of the entire Black Dragon Clan; not only did his Aptitude reach the legendary 29th grade, but he also awakened the legendary Golden Dragon Divine Physique. As long as he grew normally, reaching the Peak of an Eight-Turn Great Emperor would be effortless.

And the Golden Dragon was a terrifying existence that transcended the Black Dragon, not present on the Profound Heaven Continent at all, only existing in the legendary Universe Starry Sky.

It could be said that as long as Long Juechen matured, he would absolutely be able to lead the Black Dragon Clan to dominate the entire Profound Heaven Continent, and even conquer the Universe Starry Sky.

For this, the entire Black Dragon Clan invested countless efforts to cultivate Long Juechen, and he finally achieved a Breakthrough to the Emperor Realm within a hundred years.

Unfortunately, good times did not last; ever since Long Juechen broke through to the Emperor Realm, his cultivation seemed to have exhausted its potential, stagnating and even continuously regressing.

Finally, the entire Black Dragon Clan discovered the problem: a Gu worm was found within Long Juechen's Physique. This Gu worm was not only devouring Long Juechen's cultivation, but also slowly consuming his Physique and Aptitude.

After extensive investigation by the Black Dragon Clan, clues were found in ancient books passed down through generations.

Long Juechen had been afflicted by the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu.

This Gu worm was incredibly malicious; once it entered the body, it would bind with the Cultivator's Soul. If the Gu worm died, the person died; if the Gu worm did not die, the person would still eventually die, and finally, the entire person would be completely devoured by the Gu worm, leaving only an empty shell.

And Long Juechen endured ten years of agony under these circumstances, ultimately being completely devoured, and the Gu worm, having fulfilled its mission, also died with Long Juechen.

As for the devoured cultivation, Bloodline, and Aptitude, they were transferred to the Mother Gu's body in a way they did not understand, ultimately nourishing its master.

The entire Black Dragon Clan was thrown into chaos because of this. At that time, the Black Dragon Clan searched the entire Central Region, but they simply could not find the person who had cast the Gu, and thus, this matter became an unsolved mystery.

And this also laid the groundwork for the later capture of the entire Black Dragon Clan into the Hell Realm.

Upon hearing Long Yin's narration, Mu Qingge gasped, not expecting the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu to be so malicious, and then said,

"Sister Long, I'm sorry, I brought up your sad memories. But is this Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu truly incurable?"

Long Yin shook her head,

"The Black Dragon Clan tried all methods back then, but they were completely useless and only caused more suffering."

At this moment, Long Yin looked coldly at Li Dengfeng,

"How do you know about such a secret matter as the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu?"

At this moment, Long Yin began to suspect Li Dengfeng.

"Senior, I merely found a tattered book by chance in an ancient Secret Realm. The book contained fragmented mentions of the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu."

Then Li Dengfeng handed the incomplete ancient book to Long Yin.

At this moment, Mu Qingge said solemnly,

"Sister Long, it seems this matter needs to be reported to the Family Head. The Corpse Yin Sect, the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu—every sign indicates that a major event is about to occur."

Long Yin nodded. Although she very much wanted to expose the mastermind, she was truly helpless when it came to the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu.

Because from the Black Dragon Clan's ancient texts, it was discovered that the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu was not a product of the Profound Heaven Continent at all; it seemed to originate from other Cultivation Planets.

Suddenly, Qin Feng's voice entered the ears of the four.

"I am aware of what you have discussed. All of you, bring the person afflicted by the Gu to the Qin Family."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, the few people's Faces showed joy. If the Family Head acted, then no matter who was behind the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu, they would be exposed and ultimately annihilated by the Family Head with the force of thunder.

Seeing Li Dengfeng kneeling on the ground, his head almost touching the ground, Mu Qingge felt that what she had just said might have been a bit too much, but if she encountered it again, she would still say the same.

However, now that the Family Head had spoken, indicating that the person afflicted by the Gu still had some value, it was still necessary to give him some Face.

"Where is the person you mentioned who is afflicted by the Gu? Take us there now."

Li Dengfeng had originally given up completely, and his mind was entirely focused on how to appease the wrath of these Seniors, but when Mu Qingge spoke, his mind couldn't even process it.

"Ah?"

"Oh, Senior, the person afflicted by the Gu is the Saintess of the Tiangang Sect, and she is currently within the sect."

Before Mu Qingge could speak, the Dragon Turtle transformed back into its true form.

"Come up, why are you standing there stunned?"

Mu Qingge said faintly.

Xiao Huohuo and Li Dengfeng dared not go up; that giant Turtle was a genuine Emperor Beast. If it stomped its foot, their lives would be gone.

However, they both dared not defy Mu Qingge's words, so they could only steel themselves and go up.

Then the Dragon Turtle sped towards the Tiangang Sect.

"My goodness, isn't that Old Ancestor? How can he be standing on a giant Turtle? Old Ancestor, wait for me."

At this moment, Zhao Batian was shouting from below.

Unfortunately, Li Dengfeng dared not look back.

Soon, the few people arrived at the Tiangang Sect.

"It is indeed afflicted by the Mother-Child Soul-Seizing Gu. It seems the Gu worm has already bound with her Soul. In less than a month, all of her cultivation, Aptitude, and Qi and Blood will be completely devoured."

Long Yin said solemnly.

Li Dengfeng was startled upon hearing this. This Gu worm was actually so overbearing; Zhao Ling was a Saint of Great Perfection, yet she had no chance to resist in front of this Gu worm. This was simply too terrifying.

"Could the person who cast the Gu really be Ye Chen? How did Ye Chen obtain such a malicious item? Is there a Great Emperor standing behind him? But if there really is a Great Emperor behind him, how could he be willing to lie dormant in the Tiangang Sect for hundreds of years?"

Four Soul-searching questions lingered in Li Dengfeng's mind.

When Zhao Batian arrived at the Tiangang Sect via the teleportation array, he heard Long Yin's words, and his heart felt as if it were being twisted, feeling as though he had aged decades.

"Senior, please save my daughter. I am willing to serve you as a servant for the rest of my life."

Mu Qingge, Long Yin, Wuji Zi, and Cang Beiming exchanged glances, then Mu Qingge said,

"Alright, take your daughter and come with me. Whether she can be saved depends on her fortune."
