Chapter 1154 - Remnants from the Royal Family of Great Yan VS Elite in the Dao of Heaven (2/2)

When the barbarian heard of the clan leader asking about his identity, he smiled arrogantly, and he said slowly, “The people in West Region prefer to call me the King of Gu Poison or the Master of Gu Poison.”

The clan leader of the Murong Clan had his pupils shrink rapidly.

‘King of Gu Poison?!’

“You’re the Master of Gu Poison?!”

At the same time, the Murong Clan Lady frowned and gasped in surprise in the crowd. Her voice was grave. “Rumors have it that you’re someone who managed to reach the dao of heaven three years ago through the path of Gu poison.”

As one of the most outstanding of the younger generation in the Murong Clan, the Murong Clan Lady had a very clear understanding of the elites in the world. Naturally, she knew just how strong the King of Gu Poison was.

“No.” The Master of Gu Poison did not have his smile fade away. He shook his head slowly. “It’s impossible for anyone to enter the dao of heaven by rearing Gu insects. The world calls me the King of Gu Poison because my Gu insects are different from other people’s!

“Other people rear their Gu insects by choosing elite insects and feeding them with human blood, but I use Gu insect blood to feed mine, and they mutated from there. They stepped into the dao of heaven on their own.”

When he said these words, all the people in the inn were shocked, including the white-clad young man who had been paying attention to the elites from the Murong Clan. Even he was slightly amazed, and his attention moved from the Murong Clan to the unfathomable Master of Gu Poison.

‘His Gu insects entered the dao of heaven?

‘What exactly does he mean by his Gu insects entering the dao of heaven?’

“Can Gu insects enter the dao of heaven?”

“All manner of living in the world can enter the dao of heaven, so why can’t Gu insects?” The Master of Gu Poison smiled arrogantly. “I don’t have a clear grasp as to what a Gu insect’s dao is, and I’m only known as the King of Gu poison because the Gu insects I rear can make those at the dao of heaven feel helpless against them. Besides, they have once killed those at the dao of heaven before…”

When he said this, his tone changed. A brutal look appeared on the Master of Gu Poison’s face. “I’ve heard that the Murong Clan’s Shifting Stars is peerless and can break all the martial arts in the world. I wonder if it’s effective against my Gu insects.”

When they heard the blatant mockery and provocation in the Master of Gu Poison’s words, the three grand elders from the Murong Clan had their expressions turn sour.

One, it was because the Master of Gu Poison’s fame was indeed great in West Region, and he was someone who had indeed entered the dao of heaven.

Two, there was something else incredibly troublesome about him. There was no way a Gu insect which could kill an elite at the dao of heaven was an ordinary existence. Shifting Stars could negate all the martial arts in the world, but they were not confident when it came to Gu insects.

The chances of the three grand elders losing against the Master of Gu Poison was incredibly high. They were, after all, only at Myth Realm, and the pressure they faced was great when they faced a Gu insect at the dao of heaven.

But when two armies went to war against each other, morale was incredibly important. If they let the Master of Gu Poison gain an upper hand against them in Dragon Gate Inn, the Murong Clan’s plan of looting all the treasures from the desert palace would go up in smoke.

The Murong Clan had been waiting in secret for a long time for this chance. They would not back down when this chance in a blue moon finally presented itself.

This was something that every member of the Murong Clan knew very well.

The Murong Clan Lady walked out from the crowd.

She whispered to her father, who was also the current clan leader of the Murong Clan. “Elites from the dao of heaven are very difficult to fight against. The chances of us losing are great if we don’t know our enemies well. Father, only I have an understanding towards Gu insects in the family. Why don’t you let me test the true strength of the Master of Gu Poison? Then, you can come to a decision with the three elders.”

“No!”

“Third Lady…”

“You’re not the Master of Gu Poison’s opponent. I’m here, and I won’t let you march to your own death. Go back!” Murong Xun gave his daughter a complicated expression. He knew that his daughter was thinking about searching for a weakness from the Master of Gu Poison, but the price for it might be her life.

But the Murong Clan Lady did not intend to give up just like this. “Father, only I am qualified to test the Master of Gu Poison’s strength from among those in the Murong Clan. Right now, it’s clearly not appropriate for you or the three grand elders to attack. Nothing must happen to you.”

“The lady is right.” One among the three old men spoke up quietly.

“Grand Elder Tai!”

Murong Xun glared at the grand elder who spoke behind him. The grand elder sighed in great remorse. “It is impossible for there to be no sacrifices when we try to achieve a great cause. The Third Lady is noble and righteous, and it is a blessing for the Murong Clan that she is this way.”

“Father, there is no need for you to say anything else. We’ve come to a decision.” When the Murong Clan Lady saw that the three grand elders seemed to be convinced, her tone became even firmer.

Once she finished speaking, she did not wait for Murong Xun to speak. She jumped out from the crowd and landed in front of the Master of Gu Poison.

The Master of Gu Poison gave the Murong Clan Lady a derisive look.

“Murong Clan, you’re sending a young girl to fight against me?”

“You are strong, Master of Gu Poison, if I went against you alone, I would be underestimating your fame. Chun Lan, Qiu Zhu, Xia Mei, Dong Xue!” The Murong Clan Lady called out to the group behind the Murong Clan, and immediately, four pretty figures dressed in different colored clothes shot out.

These four women were pretty in their own ways. Each of them held a sword in their hands, and they appeared beside the Murong Clan Lady. All five attacked at the same time.

“Oh?” The Master of Gu Poison quirked an eyebrow. Before he could continue speaking, the Murong Clan Lady had already spoken, since the situation was extremely critical. She spoke firmly, “Form the Spring Autumn Sword Formation!”

“Understood!”

The four girls responded clearly.

They moved, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded the Master of Gu Poison.
