402: dispute

Zhou Luo didn't expect that he would be attacked in the Wan Gu Sect.

Although he had anticipated being targeted by others, he didn't expect the targeting to come so quickly.

Right from the start, they sent a Gu to sneak into his body, and perhaps fearing his detection, they even used a First-Order Pill Gu.

The higher the rank of the Gu, the greater the power it generates, and the easier it is for others to detect.

The other party likely thought he wasn't a Gu Master, which is why they used a First-Order Pill Gu.

This type of Gu doesn't contain much power, but it's also not easy to detect immediately.

Zhou Luo recognized this Gu; it was called the Zombie Gu, a type of control Gu.

The biggest characteristic of this type of Gu is its ability to silently influence a person's mind.

This influence is not achieved overnight; it subtly changes the other party's thoughts when they make decisions.

This change is gradual, to the point where even the person who has been affected by the Gu cannot detect it.

Zhou Luo's mind stirred, thinking, could this be Ling An Zhenren's intention?

After all, this is his territory, and such a thing happening is highly likely related to the other party.

But if that's truly the case, why would he accept his daughter as a Disciple?

Could he really covet the treatment of Yao Wu's lineage?

Zhou Luo wasn't sure, but no matter what, since the enemy had already made their move, he couldn't just sit back and wait for death.

Fortunately, he hadn't exposed his strength, and since this was a First-Order Pill Gu, dealing with it wouldn't be a problem for him.

However, there was no rush at the moment; directly resolving it would easily alert the enemy.

If the other party then used a higher-rank Gu, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

So he pretended to be affected by the Gu, while Xuan Qing seemed to not notice anything at all.

Zhou Luo knew very well that the other party must be aware of that Gu, after all, even he, a First-Order Gu Master, had discovered it.

Upon reaching the inner courtyard, Xuan Qing arranged rooms for Zhou Luo and Zhou Shi Xin separately.

"Zhou Fellow Daoist, this is a communication Talismans. If you have anything, you can contact me through this," Xuan Qing handed two Talismans into his hand.

"Many thanks, Xuan Qing Daoist Friend," Zhou Luo took the Talismans and cupped his hands.

"Okay, I still have some matters to attend to. When Revered Master returns, I will send someone to inform you," Xuan Qing nodded, then turned and left.

After he left, Zhou Luo glanced in the direction where the other party had disappeared, and seeing Zhou Shi Xin about to enter her room, he grabbed her and brought her into his own room.

Upon entering the room, he didn't forget to stick three Second Order Isolation Talismans on the window to prevent others from peeking.

Zhou Shi Xin looked at her Father's cautious demeanor and asked with a puzzled expression, "Father, what's wrong?"

After doing all this, Zhou Luo finally looked at her and said earnestly, "Remember, what I'm about to say, don't be surprised. Do everything according to my instructions, understand?"

Zhou Shi Xin looked at her Father's serious expression, her heart unsure of what had happened, but she still nodded seriously.

Immediately, Zhou Luo told his daughter in great detail about the Gu incident just now and the subsequent arrangements.

And while listening to these words, Zhou Shi Xin's expression changed from initial confusion to subsequent astonishment, and then to disbelief.

She stared at the other party with wide eyes, her face full of shock.

"Father, is what you said true?" Zhou Shi Xin's voice trembled slightly.

This young girl was experiencing such a thing for the first time, and for the first time, she learned about the darkness outside.

Earlier, she had been looking forward to a vast world opening up to her upon arriving at the Wan Gu Sect.

But reality had slapped her hard in the face; she hadn't expected to be targeted the moment she entered the Sect.

As a Gu Master, she was very clear about what a top-tier Gu represented.

With this thought, the look in her eyes as she gazed at her Father also became strange.

Because according to the other party's arrangements, her Father seemed capable of resolving that First-Order Pill top-tier Gu.

But Mother said that Father was also a Low Grade Gu Master, wasn't he?

She vaguely had other suspicions in her heart.

In her mind, her Father had always been very mysterious, whether it was his own strength or his mastery of skills.

She remembered one time, she had secretly seen her Father crafting Talismans, and the power of those Talismans was clearly Second Order.

This made her incredibly surprised, but she trusted her Father one hundred percent, so she didn't say anything.

"Father, I understand," Zhou Shi Xin replied with a serious expression.

"Okay, go. Just follow what I said when the time comes," Zhou Luo nodded.

Then he removed the Talismans and sent Zhou Shi Xin out.

After she left, Zhou Luo also stayed in the room alone, thinking about countermeasures.

On the other side, Yao Wu was brought by Ling An Zhenren to a magnificent Dragon Palace Great Hall on the main peak.

Inside the Dragon Palace Great Hall, radiance permeated, and prayer mats floated in the air on both sides.

And on those prayer mats, a misty spiritual light flickered, and immortal mist lingered, making it impossible to clearly see the scene inside.

Only vague human figures could be seen sitting cross-legged within, with various phenomena appearing behind them, exuding terrifying might.

Yao Wu, who was at the Qi Training stage, eighth level, dared not look directly, only feeling as if she had stepped into a heavy area, like mountains pressing down on her.

Yao Wu could only try her best to endure, until she reached the center of the Dragon Palace Great Hall, where the pressure vanished.

Yao Wu felt relieved and looked up.

There was a throne there, surrounded by radiance, and the dense spiritual light was extremely dazzling.

In this situation, Yao Wu only felt her mind in a daze, unable to clearly see the figure.

"Are you the grand-Disciple of True Person Lieyang?"

Not long after, a vast voice seemed to surge from all directions, exploding in Yao Wu's ears.

Yao Wu immediately knelt down and bowed, "This Disciple is indeed Yao Wu."

The other party should be the Sect Head of Wan Gu Sect, so she knelt down and bowed very decisively.

And as she knelt, in a place she couldn't see, dozens of divine senses intertwined, seemingly discussing something.

Clearly, Yao Wu's appearance was not a unified decision of the Wan Gu Sect; there were still people opposing and people agreeing.

For this reason, the Wan Gu Sect was divided into two factions internally.

The argument between these two factions had now reached its climax.

Yao Wu knelt there, clearly feeling gazes falling on her from time to time, they were also scrutinizing her.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ling An Zhenren beside her, and found that the other party stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly unconcerned about these matters.

After they had discussed for a while, the figure in the spiritual light on the throne above spoke again.

"Yao Wu, from today onwards, you will be the Lieyang Mountain Mountain Revered Master, enjoying all the benefits of True Person Lieyang's lineage."

"However, since your Realm is not high and your strength is insufficient, you cannot widely recruit Disciples yet, so you will Cultivation with me from now on."

"When you successfully complete Foundation Establishment and step into Second-Order Gu Master, you can officially become the Lieyang Mountain Mountain Revered Master and have the right to recruit Disciples."

"And before that, you still have to accept the test of Lieyang Mountain. If you fail the test, you will lose the qualification to become the Mountain Revered Master."
