Chapter 285 - Chapter 285: Chapter 278: Resurgence of Gu Techniques? 1 (2/2)

“How… how do you control it?”

Qin Niu couldn’t help but recall the Red-eyed Golden Toad, which had also been controlled by Old Master Huang using a worm.

“The Nine Insect Gang has some secret techniques that can implant worms into another person’s body and then control the person through the worms. It’s quite similar to the Gu technique.”

Master He Shan explained weakly, clutching his chest.

“So that’s how it is. This Insect Commanding Technique is indeed evil, even capable of controlling humans.”

Qin Niu nodded, feeling as though he had gained more insight.

The Gu technique was a peculiar magic of the southern border, which had been lost for many years.

This method of controlling others by implanting worms inside their bodies was highly similar to the Gu technique.

Whether it was a revival of Gu technique, that remained unknown.

Back then, the masters of Gu technique from the southern border took part in the Immortal Sects war, only to be eradicated by the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect.

It was that very battle that allowed the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect to successfully establish itself.

It has been over a thousand years since then.

Many have even forgotten the once-glorious Gu technique and its numerous legendary stories, now occasionally glimpsed only in fragments within some books.

They say for one general’s success, thousands of bones are laid to rest.

The founding of an Immortal Sect is far more brutal than one can imagine.

In wars between Immortal Sects, even strong practitioners of the Innate Realm are like ants.

Wars of that magnitude spare none, from Immortal Masters to mortals.

They are absolute catastrophes for the human world.

“Qin Niu, you have achieved remarkable feats in this war and shall be appropriately rewarded. Elder Jiu Yin has fled with serious injuries and is a significant hidden danger. I must lead my men to pursue and eliminate him immediately. There will be other experts from the gang to intercept him ahead; he must not be allowed to escape back This man is cunning and deceitful, and he will surely hold a grudge against you for destroying his king insect, so you must be extra cautious.”

After speaking, Deputy City Lord Bai swallowed a Fresh Red Elixir and quickly left with a few guards.

Though Deputy City Lord Bai’s horizontal training was unparalleled in the Black Tiger Gang,

the self-destruction of two Spirit Qi Realm experts has nonetheless left him quite injured.

Qin Niu, observing the fallen Innate Realm experts and Insect Masters on the scene, felt life was incredibly cheap. Every step of cultivation from the Mortal Realm to the Innate Realm was fraught with difficulty,

yet in war, they died so easily.

This also served as a stark warning to Qin Niu.

Regardless of how high one’s cultivation or how strong one’s power, it is best not to engage in conflicts lightly. One mistake can lead to death and the end of one’s path.

Qin Niu returned to his home in Shuangfeng Village and began to inventory the spoils of war gathered over many days.

He needed to quickly convert his spoils into strength.

This time, he had obtained several Corpse Bee Bee Generals’ bodies, the king worm of a Taiyin Yaoyao, and even high-level insect corpses like that of the Binding Fairy Spider. He believed the Ant Queen would certainly undergo significant evolution.

In his room, he carefully checked and sorted each of the spoils.

Martial arts practice scrolls like the Misty Rain Elusive Step, ancient Insect Commanding tomes like the Spider Technique Scroll, and several Insect Master’s notes, plus a The Plant Atlas and a compilation of rare plants and trees left by Master Mo Yang.

Then there were more than ten Insect Bags and numerous Insect Jars.

He had also captured a fair number of live insects.

There were quite a few bodies of Steel-winged Wild Bees, as well as several live ones.

And they were all of the Bee General Level.

The two green-headed wild bees were what Qin Niu valued the most. These bees were summoning bees, acting like bell-ringing imps, capable of calling upon swarms of wild bees to attack their enemies.

These were special bee species, hence Qin Niu’s particular interest in them.

As he went through the Insect Bags, some of the insects inside were still alive.

These were the ones not tamed by the Insect Master Zhu Zhu.

They were basically various sorts of spiders, and Qin Niu didn’t care for them at all.

However, instead of killing them, he took them to the mountains to release them.

Now possessing nearly a hundred thousand silver notes, he awaited the war’s end when he could buy land and mountains, becoming a grand landlord in Shuangfeng Village. By then, he would manage the entire mountain as his stronghold..
