Old ginger is spicier!

The two people hiding in the shadows did not make a sound after witnessing this scene.

Gu He began to send a voice transmission to the Great Clan Elder.

"I didn't expect it to really be Tun Jiang; this kid actually came to plagiarize the Cultivation Technique."

The Great Clan Elder did not speak, coldly watching the scene unfold.

He had already given orders that without his permission, no one was allowed to peek at the Cultivation Technique.

To him, Tun Jiang was essentially a traitor.

However, there should be someone else behind him.

He had observed Tun Jiang for many years.

He had a bit of cleverness, but no great wisdom.

Even if he was a contributor to the village.

After Tun Jiang finished copying, he hurriedly and cautiously left.

The Great Clan Elder and Gu He followed him stealthily.

Tun Jiang returned to his residence.

He took out the copied Cultivation Technique.

Then he made another copy.

He opened his bedding; there was a small compartment underneath.

After putting it inside, Tun Jiang stealthily left again.

He turned and circled behind the house, heading towards the back.

The Great Clan Elder and Gu He's eyes turned cold.

That was exactly where the clan elders lived.

Tun Jiang arrived at the Third Clan Elder's residence; he didn't knock and slipped inside.

A candle was lit inside.

Tun Jiang looked at the Third Clan Elder.

"Third Clan Elder, I've brought the thing you wanted."

The Third Clan Elder stood up and took the papers from Tun Jiang's hand.

Looking at the contents, he was extremely excited.

"You weren't discovered, were you?"

Tun Jiang shook his head.

"After I finished copying, I hurried over without delay."

"The other two clan elders are already asleep."

"As for Gu He, I even heard him having fun with his wife tonight; he's sleeping like a dead pig right now."

The Third Clan Elder took a deep breath.

"Go back for now. Don't speak a word of this. Once I succeed in my Cultivate, I can become a Holy Envoy, and at that time, you will be the Great Clan Elder of this village."

Tun Jiang took a deep breath and suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you for your grooming, my Lord."

The Third Clan Elder's eyes were filled with intense desire and ambition.

"Get up quickly. We still need to communicate more. As long as I can complete my Cultivate, I will also guide you in your Cultivate when the time comes."

Tun Jiang became even more excited, kowtowing repeatedly in gratitude.

The Third Clan Elder helped Tun Jiang up.

"Go back for now!"

Tun Jiang nodded and was about to leave.

He opened the door and froze on the spot.

Two people were at the door.

They were looking at him mockingly.

Tun Jiang broke into a cold sweat.

Click, click.

At this moment, lights had already been lit in every household.

One person after another walked out.

They surrounded them, looking at Tun Jiang and the Third Clan Elder.

The Third Clan Elder's expression changed.

The Second Clan Elder also came over.

He looked at the Third Clan Elder, his eyes filled with rage.

"You dog! When the Eldest told me, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect you to really be a traitor."

"Didn't you hear the Great Clan Elder say that as long as we Cultivate this Cultivation Technique, we won't fear the Poisonous Miasma? In a village that has been controlled for years, aren't you afraid of being discovered if such an anomaly suddenly appears?"

"You damned fool, you've been blinded by desire."

The Second Clan Elder stepped forward and slapped Tun Jiang.

Several sheets of paper appeared in his hand.

"You trash."

Tun Jiang's face changed drastically.

He had hidden it so secretly; how could it have been discovered?

The Third Clan Elder also didn't expect that Tun Jiang would keep a copy for himself.

"Tun Jiang, you actually dared to betray me?"

Tun Jiang's reputation over the years also had his contribution.

The purpose was to nurture a few prestigious people.

So that when the time came to pull the Great Clan Elder down, he could take the seat.

The Great Clan Elder looked at the Third Clan Elder.

"If you wanted the position of Great Clan Elder, I could have given it to you at any time."

"A village of over a hundred people, raising Gu insects and eating every day—that's all there is to it. Even if the position of Great Clan Elder were given to you, what would you gain?"

The Third Clan Elder looked at the Great Clan Elder: "The village's secret, of course."

The Great Clan Elder shook his head and sighed.

"I already told you that secret today: the Gu Spirit is poisonous. Our village was once glorious, which is why we know this secret."

"What every Great Clan Elder guards is this secret. Even knowing it, there's no way to change it. If it weren't for Young Master Chu Xinghe, I wouldn't have shared this secret. Compared to death, living a hard and tiring life is much better."

The Third Clan Elder was stunned.

So the matter mentioned this morning was the secret.

He had thought the village's secret was the ability to change the Poisonous Miasma.

"You should know the punishment for those who are disloyal to the village."

The Third Clan Elder's expression shifted.

"You and Tun Jiang, leave!"

Tun Jiang knelt on the ground.

"Great Clan Elder, I was wrong, I was wrong."

The Great Clan Elder did not spare him a glance.

Several villagers came forward, seized the Third Clan Elder and Tun Jiang, and threw them out of the village.

"I have already copied many versions of this Cultivation Technique. Don't Cultivate on your own; Gu He and I will guide you."

The villagers nodded.

The Great Clan Elder only felt relieved after the traitors were cleared out.

Gu He followed behind the Great Clan Elder.

"Great Clan Elder, why let the two of them go?"

The Great Clan Elder took a deep breath.

"The Third Clan Elder and Tun Jiang still have some Aptitude; they will definitely succeed in their Cultivate. Once we have successfully Cultivated, we will move to another place."

"Old Third and Tun Jiang are both ambitious people. Once they succeed in their Cultivate, they will definitely want to become stronger."

"At that time, they will find ways to grow stronger. Since you have already succeeded in your Cultivate, he certainly won't come to the village easily and can only leave for other places."

"When the time comes, all those changes will be caused by him, and the Holy Envoy will also die by his hand."

Gu He was startled: "Aren't you afraid they will seek refuge with other Holy Envoys?"

The Great Clan Elder shook his head: "He won't. He has ambition and isn't stupid. If he seeks refuge with another Holy Envoy, he will surely be killed after they get the Cultivation Technique."

"Moreover, we only put out the upper part of the Cultivation Technique; they don't know the lower part."

"I believe everyone has their own mission. Since they betrayed the village, their mission from now on is to be the spearheads standing in front of us."

Gu He looked at the Great Clan Elder.

This old man who loved sunbathing the most truly made him feel like a stranger.

At this moment, Chu Xinghe walked out.

With a flick of his finger.

Many corpses appeared.

The day after tomorrow, Da Hua will be able to escape her predicament.

The Great Clan Elder's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Young Master."

Chu Xinghe nodded and vanished from their sight.

Gu He took a deep breath: "I really don't know what Chu Xinghe's strength is?"

The Great Clan Elder patted Gu He's shoulder: "Gu He, remember my words: never betray Chu Xinghe. If you encounter a threat, it's fine to stand in front of Chu Xinghe, even if you die."

"He definitely didn't lose his memory when he came to our village; he just wants to obtain some things through us."

Gu He was stunned: "Then we're still cooperating?"

The Great Clan Elder laughed: "That means we have value! Haven't we seen hope for our village now? Before, we were dying pathetic deaths. When everyone in the village has Cultivated the Cultivation Technique, things will be different. We can die in a blaze of glory."

"Tell the villagers they can continue to raise Poisonous Gu Spirits."

Gu He was puzzled.

The Great Clan Elder slapped him on the head.

"Are you stupid?"

"By raising Poisonous Gu Spirits, we can gather nearby Gu insects to Cultivate. Then, using the Cultivation Technique left by the Young Master, won't our strength grow rapidly?"

"This is called 'borrowing a hen to lay an egg.' Even if we're discovered by others later, we'll still have Poisonous Gu Spirits in our bodies. We can just say the village was destroyed. Perhaps it's also leaving a way out for ourselves."

Gu He opened his mouth.

He finally understood why the Great Clan Elder was the Great Clan Elder.

An Old Thing is indeed an Old Thing.

Your elder is still your elder.
