Chapter 236 The Gu God is the Strongest
Some strange plants have also begun to appear.
Some even sway slightly with the sound of footsteps, as if they possess consciousness.
"Jiang Mo, why is the Helian family so obsessed with pursuing the power of the Gu God?"
Wei Duoduo asked as she hurried along, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Jiang Mo continued walking, his gaze calmly fixed ahead: "Power, ambition, and ignorance."
"The Helian family has been a family of Gu masters since ancient times, but with the changing times..."
"Their status has declined time and again."
"They believe that as long as they obtain the power of the Gu God, they can return to their peak."
"But all they know are distorted legends; they know nothing about the true Gu God."
Feng Baobao suddenly stopped, her brows furrowing slightly: "Jiang Mo, there's something strange up ahead."
Jiang Mo gave Feng Baobao an approving look: "Not bad, your senses are getting sharper and sharper."
He turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone be careful, there's an ambush ahead."
As soon as he finished speaking, a buzzing sound came from the surrounding poisonous fog, growing louder and more urgent.
"It's a swarm of poisonous bees!" Chen Duo's expression changed.
The next moment, countless dark shadows surged out from the poisonous fog.
Those were thousands upon thousands of black bees, each the size of a thumb.
"The Venomous Bees!" Zhang Chulan exclaimed in shock. "It's said that even a highly skilled cultivator would die instantly from a sting from one of these bees!"
Faced with a swarm of poisonous bees, Jiang Mo remained unmoved, simply raising his right hand slightly.
"Lord of all poisons, heed my command!"
His voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power, spreading throughout the entire valley.
A shocking scene happened.
Upon hearing Jiang Mo's voice, the frenzied venomous bees all froze in mid-air, and their buzzing abruptly ceased.
Then, the poisonous bees lined up neatly to form a passage, making way for Jiang Mo and the others.
"The God of Gu is mighty!" Wei Duoduo exclaimed excitedly, her eyes filled with admiration.
Zhang Chulan swallowed hard, staring in shock at the scene: "Big brother, your methods are too amazing!"
Jiang Mo walked calmly through the passage formed by the poisonous bees, saying indifferently, "The creatures in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons all instinctively revere the aura of the Gu God."
"Keep up, don't fall behind."
Everyone quickly followed Jiang Mo's footsteps, cautiously passing through the swarm of poisonous bees.
Feng Baobao watched this scene thoughtfully.
She discovered that she could also vaguely sense the emotions of the poisonous bees.
These creatures seemed to have a natural affinity for her.
After passing through the swarm of poisonous bees, the road ahead became increasingly rugged, and the poisonous fog grew even thicker.
"The altar is just ahead."
Jiang Mo pointed to the faintly visible buildings in the distance, "I can feel a strong fluctuation of Qi there; they've already begun the ritual."
"We need to speed things up."
Jiang Mo turned to look at everyone, "The road ahead is even more dangerous."
"You must stay close to me and not touch anything around you."
Everyone nodded solemnly.
Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble, and a powerful wave came from the direction of the altar.
"Not good!" Jiang Mo's expression changed. "The blood sacrifice has already begun!"
Without another word, he flashed forward, his speed suddenly increasing, and sped towards the altar.
Everyone did their best to keep up and soon arrived near the altar.
The altar was built on a wide-open space, with no obstructions around it.
At this moment, dozens of men dressed in black stood on the altar.
They formed a circle around a peculiar pattern resembling the Bagua (Eight Trigrams).
At the center of the design are six uniquely shaped objects, each emitting a different color of light.
Most shockingly, a dozen or so ordinary people, bound and kneeling, were also kneeling around the pattern.
They looked dazed, as if they had been poisoned.
In the center of the altar, a middle-aged man was raising his hands and chanting incantations.
"That's Helian Yan's son, Helian Feng!"
Wei Duoduo said in a low voice, "He is the young master of the Helian family, and it is said that he is extremely skilled in Gu techniques."
Jiang Mo squinted, carefully observing the situation on the altar.
"The six relics have been activated, and the blood sacrifice is about to begin."
"If those people are killed, the power within the altar will completely spiral out of control."
"Zhang Chulan, Wei Duoduo, you two are in charge of rescuing them;"
"Chen Duo, Feng Baobao, you two stop those men in black," Jiang Mo quickly gave the order. "I'll take care of Helian Feng."
"action!"
At Jiang Mo's command, everyone immediately dispersed and rushed towards the altar.
The men in black on the altar immediately spotted them and drew their weapons, ready to fight.
"It's Jiang Mo! They're here!" someone shouted.
Upon hearing this, Helian Feng's eyes flashed with wild joy: "Perfect! Capturing him for a blood sacrifice will have an even better effect!"
"Everyone, listen to my command! Capture Jiang Mo at all costs!"
Jiang Mo neither dodged nor evaded; his internal Qi circulated rapidly, and his entire body radiated golden light.
He formed a hand seal with his right hand and softly uttered, "Gather!"
Suddenly, the surrounding poisonous fog seemed to be summoned by something and rushed towards him.
It coalesced in his hand into a poisonous sphere that shimmered with an eerie light.
"go!"
Jiang Mo pushed with his palm, and the poison ball instantly split into countless tiny poison needles, shooting towards the men in black at an astonishing speed.
"what!"
Screams rose and fell as the men in black were attacked one after another.
His body suddenly stiffened, and he collapsed to the ground, convulsing in pain.
On the other side, Zhang Chulan and Wei Duoduo rushed towards the bound hostages to rescue them.
"Stop them!" Helian Feng roared.
Several men in black immediately rushed forward, their Gu worms lunging at the two.
"Get out of my way!" Wei Duoduo shouted angrily, her internal energy erupting and sending all the Gu worms flying.
Zhang Chulan then used his movement technique to move like a ghost among the men in black.
Chen Duo and Feng Baobao were not to be outdone.
The primordial Gu within Chen Duo's body took effect, releasing a special aura.
This caused all the surrounding Gu worms to fall into chaos and begin attacking each other.
Feng Baobao is even more amazing.
She simply stood there, emanating a faint purple light.
The venomous insects and poisonous creatures that had approached her suddenly turned around and attacked their master.
"Damn it!" Helian Feng's face turned ashen as he saw the situation reverse.
"Activate the Blood Array! We must complete the ritual at all costs!"
At his command, the patterns on the altar suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light.
Strange runes appeared on the bound hostages at the same time.
Then their bodies began to shrivel up, as if their life force was being rapidly drained away.
"Not good!" Jiang Mo sensed the change and immediately rushed towards the center of the altar.
Seeing this, Helian Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness: "Jiang Mo, you've come at the perfect time. Become the final link in my blood sacrifice!"
He formed hand seals and chanted ancient incantations.
