120: Cousin, I'm coming out.

Sweat beaded on Huang Liang’s forehead.

Qin Yang could instantly kill tens of thousands of Gu Insects.

It wasn’t impossible for him to destroy Grandma Zu’s Gu Formation with a single punch.

At that time.

Both of them had seen the Illusion Butterfly Gu Formation.

He had immediately fallen victim, but Qin Yang was completely unaffected.

When he woke up, the Illusion Butterfly Gu Formation had vanished without a trace.

Connecting these pieces of information, with just a little imagination, it wasn't hard to guess the answer… the person who broke the Gu Formation was Qin Yang!

After figuring everything out, Huang Liang didn’t make a sound.

He calmed himself down slightly, then changed the subject, saying, “Without the Mountain Patrol Gu Formation, those Gu Insect-playing bastards will definitely cause trouble, right?”

Ji Yuanqing nodded gravely, “That’s why all eighteen villages are on high alert, but you saw Grandma Zu’s condition. If they launch a full-scale attack, we might not be able to hold them off.”

“It’s not that scary.”

Duan Hanchun, wrapped in a black blanket, chuckled, “Don’t say such things in front of our guest. It’s not that serious.”

Hearing this, Ji Yuanqing finally realized.

He immediately introduced to Duan Hanchun, “This is Qin Yang, from Yangzhou, Jiangnan. His profession is Supreme Emperor, a newly promoted Legendary Tier profession this year.”

“Oh? A Legendary Tier profession.”

Duan Hanchun paused slightly, then said to the people beside him, “This is our distinguished guest. You must treat him well, protect him well, and don’t randomly unleash Gu on him.”

“Yes, Grandma Zu.”

The Elders in the room all bowed their heads in agreement.

A male Elder with thinning hair said to Qin Yang, “My apologies, Young Master Qin, I just placed a surveillance Gu on you. I will now remove the Gu for you.”

Qin Yang shook his head, “No need. Your Gu didn’t succeed.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

That Elder with thinning hair was a Peak Grandmaster.

Even Hero Rank Professionals couldn't avoid the Gu he placed.

Yet this young man claimed his Gu placement had failed?

Could it be…

…this young man possessed immunity to Gu poison?

Wouldn’t that mean he could walk sideways in Lizhou?

A silence fell over the room.

After a while, Duan Hanchun spoke, “Heroes emerge from the young. May this old one ask, what is your purpose in coming to Lizhou?”

Hearing this inquiry, Qin Yang pondered.

This Duan Hanchun was a Hero Rank expert, and Ji Yuanqing, as the City Defense Commander, even called her “Grandma Zu.”

This showed her extremely high status in Lizhou.

If he wanted to see the Wildfire Rift, he definitely couldn't bypass her.

Qin Yang thought for a moment, then truthfully said, “I want to investigate the Wildfire Rift.”

“Wildfire Rift?”

Duan Hanchun frowned, then asked, “Is this an official assignment, or a personal endeavor?”

“A personal endeavor,” Qin Yang said.

At this point, Huang Liang also added, “Grandma Zu, Young Master Qin’s mother’s surname is Lin.”

“Lin… I understand.”

Duan Hanchun paused slightly, then nodded, “I will arrange this matter, but the village is currently facing a crisis, so Young Master Qin might have to wait here for some time.”

“No hurry.”

Qin Yang smiled, quite satisfied in his heart.

He had previously thought that getting close to the Wildfire Rift, which was guarded by the military, would involve many complications.

He hadn't expected Huang Liang’s single sentence to resolve it.

“His mother’s surname is Lin.”

What a powerful statement that was!

As for needing to delay some time in the village, Qin Yang didn't mind.

Anyway, the void copper hadn't been fully collected yet, so there was no rush.

This was a good opportunity to experience the singing and dancing charm of Lizhou women.

After meeting Grandma Zu, Huang Liang led Qin Yang to another stilt house.

As soon as they entered the house, he leaned close to Qin Yang and whispered, “Young Master Qin, you broke the Gu Formation, didn’t you?”

“Yes, I thought it was an enemy attack at the time.”

Qin Yang didn't hide it, but added, “It was self-defense, so I won’t pay compensation.”

“Damn it! You’re amazing!”

Huang Liang gave a thumbs-up and said, “Don’t worry, you definitely won’t have to pay. It’s just that without this Mountain Patrol Gu Formation, the village might be harassed by Witchcraft Poison Masters.”

“Let them come.”

Qin Yang said indifferently.

Even a level 100 Witchcraft Poison Master wouldn't be put in his eyes.

The combat power of these people was either in Gu or in insects.

With the Supreme Dragon Body and Exterminate the Nine Clans skills.

He held the highest ecological niche in Lizhou.

Whether it was playing with Gu or playing with Gu Insects.

In front of him, it was all child’s play.

Adhering to the ideal of unifying Kyushu, Qin Yang was also curious about the power dynamics in Lizhou.

He asked Huang Liang, “What is the relationship between these Witchcraft Poison Masters and you all?”

“Actually, they are all from the same lineage, but the Zhong Faction’s methods of refining Gu are too cruel, and they have always been suppressed by various Witchcraft Gu. Because Gu Insects are not afraid of water or fire, they played a significant role during the era of wildfire demonic beast invasions.”

Huang Liang poured Qin Yang a cup of oil tea and explained.

“Hmm, this oil tea is good!”

Qin Yang sipped the oil tea and praised it.

“It is, isn’t it? Do you want to take some local specialties back?” Huang Liang smiled.

The two were of similar age and got along well.

Qin Yang was quite relaxed in front of Huang Liang.

He glanced outside the stilt house at the women wearing silver ornaments and whispered, “Hey, are there any dances here, like the kind where people hold hands and dance?”

Huang Liang shrugged, “Normally there are, but now that it’s on high alert, who has the mood to dance?”

“That’s a real shame.” Qin Yang leaned back.

He had wanted to experience the singing and dancing charm of Lizhou women, but his own actions had spoiled the fun.

As such.

Qin Yang no longer wanted to waste time here.

He asked Huang Liang, “My investigation of the Wildfire Rift and the village’s high alert don’t conflict, do they? Why do I have to wait for some time? What am I waiting for?”

Huang Liang said, “You’re waiting for the Tian Gu Spiritual Medium.”

“What is that?” Qin Yang asked.

“It’s someone who can communicate with all Gu. If you want to get close to the Wildfire Rift, you need a Spiritual Medium to guide the way. But even if the Spiritual Medium comes, they can only go into the mountains with you after the Gu Formation is repaired.”

Huang Liang explained while taking out his phone to answer a call.

“I should have let those butterflies go…”

Qin Yang sighed inwardly.

He had shot himself in the foot.

If he hadn’t destroyed the Gu Formation with a single punch, the situation might be very different now.

Thinking of this, he asked Huang Liang again, “So when will the Spiritual Medium arrive?”

“They’re coming now.”

Huang Liang, who was on the phone, put it on speaker.

A woman’s voice came from the phone.

“Cousin, I’m out now~”
