Chapter 181 Cleaning up the mess
Bai Ling's escape technique turned out to be a method of teleportation. If it was used instantly, Fang Xiao would naturally not be able to stop her in time, but she entered a semi-activated state in advance, and her aura was not concealed at all.
As someone who had used the teleportation talisman once, how could Fang Xiao not sense what it was.
So when the Taibai sword light burst out, he took advantage of the sword light to cover himself and controlled the Duankong sword to quietly lie dormant behind her, waiting for the moment when she would use the method of teleportation.
And in the moment when the four people lost their consciousness, the Broken Sky Sword directly pointed at the spatial force around Bai Ling.
The force of space also immediately dissipated under the influence of the characteristics of the Broken Sky Sword, and her method of space movement naturally collapsed.
At this time, the Broken Sky Sword did not stop at all. Before Bai Ling regained consciousness, it pierced through her chest and completely crushed her heart.
Then the sword leaped up, and the heads of the other three people were thrown high into the air.
Luo Nan's mind seemed to be slightly tougher. Although he woke up first, he only felt his body lighten. Then, as the world continued to turn over, he lost the perception of his body, and his mind completely sank into his soul.
At the moment the four people died, the numerous poisonous insects in their bodies quickly scattered and fled.
However, Fang Xiao's sword had been prepared for a long time, waiting for the moment they left his body.
Therefore, without exception, all the poisonous insects were collected by him.
In addition, the souls of five people, including Tumang, were also directly extracted by him.
"I will soon know exactly what the Gu Master world is like, but now is not the time to search souls, as there are two people hiding down there."
When Fang Xiao was searching souls, he was not used to the presence of other people around.
He planned to see what the two brothers of the Sang family said before deciding whether to keep them.
After all, from beginning to end, these two had never had the slightest intention of taking action. They were just poor country brothers who had already lived a hard life. If they were willing to reveal the subsequent movements of the Qingmiao Tribe to him, it would not be impossible for them to be spared.
But before he could go look for them, the two brothers had already come over on their own.
"Two elders of Qingshi Village, long time no see. I took the poisonous insects here without asking for permission, but I had no choice. I hope you can forgive me."
"Brother Fang, you are too polite. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. As long as Qingshi Village has it, you can use it at will."
The two brothers witnessed the whole process of Fang Xiao killing five people. Although he was injured, it did not seem to affect him much.
They had no intention of pursuing the matter any further, so how could they dare to bring an army to hold them accountable now? They were able to rush here quickly after the war instead of running away mindlessly. And judging from the change in the way Sang Wu addressed them, it was clear that the two were people who knew how to adapt to the changing times.
"I would also like to thank you two for your advice on the relationship between Gu Masters and cultivators. Otherwise, when someone comes to my door, I am afraid I will not be able to figure out the reason."
They understood that Fang Xiao was hinting that the two of them had revealed his identity as a cultivator.
"Brother Fang, please forgive us. We have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, we will be charged with knowing the truth but not reporting it. Qingshi Village will be in danger. I just hope you can show mercy and let us go."
"Look at what you said. We cultivators pursue the way to immortality and do not like to fight with others. Besides, I never planned to do anything to you. I just need your help for a small favor."
Fang Xiao narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"Just tell me what you think. As long as we can do it, we will do our best."
Sang Wu also responded immediately, and almost regarded himself as Fang Xiao's henchman.
Although Sang Mo remained silent, his heart was beating fast. He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he would make Fang Xiao unhappy, so he was always observing the changes in his expression.
"People with squinty eyes are ruthless people. People with squinty eyes who love to smile are even more unacceptable."
Fang Xiao no longer beat around the bush and simply stated his purpose.
The two of them had no other choice now. They nodded their heads like pounding garlic and even brought out the founder of the Gu Master art to swear that they would definitely serve as Fang Xiao's secret agent and would promptly report all the information they obtained.
Seeing that the two were so tactful, Fang Xiao decided to let them go. After accepting the voice transmission Gu they offered, he also gave them the inheritance he got from the ruins.
After all, controlling the subordinates cannot rely solely on threats and intimidation. If there is no benefit, no matter how strong the deterrence is, people will gradually lose their sense of awe over time. Therefore, the best strategy is to use both sweet dates and sticks.
Afterwards, Fang Xiao originally planned to leave, but he just heard from the two brothers that he could be tracked down because of the lingering aura.
Therefore, before leaving, Fang Xiao still dealt with the battlefield very carefully, especially in the cave, where he stayed for quite a while, and he did not want to leave any trace of the aura inside.
The Gu Master's methods can be replicated infinitely as long as the Queen Worm exists, so after understanding the problem, he must never make such a mistake again.
As for other places, including Qingshi Village, there is no need to go there again. The remaining aura will dissipate on its own in no time.
"I was still careless. Although I have an impermeable body, when I practice the skills, the magical power released will inevitably bring out a lot of aura. I still need to be more careful in the future."
He then set up a beam of light and disappeared into the sky under the gaze of the two brothers of the Sang family.
"Brother, do we really want to do this undercover? This time even the young leader of the Qingmiao tribe died here. We don't know how to report this matter. I'm afraid the two of us can't escape the connection."
"Is there any other way now? We can only pretend that we have not participated in this battle. When someone asks us about it, we should play dumb and evade the question. With our half-baked strength, it is difficult to arouse others' suspicion. You must remember, little brother, if you want to stop relying on others, you must make yourself strong. Otherwise, our life and death will only depend on the thoughts of others."
"Brother, what you said makes sense. With the Gu Dao inheritance given to us by Brother Fang, if we can find the corresponding mother insect, the survival rate of our men in Qingshi Village in the wild will increase exponentially."
"I will pay attention to this matter. I am old and hopeless. Leave the training of the younger generation to me. You are still young and have a future. You should work hard to promote the evolution of your life insect. If you can enter the Fusion God Realm, you can gain many benefits in the main vein."
The two of them exchanged some words, covered up their own poisonous insect breeding grounds again, and then quickly returned to Qingshi Village.
Fang Xiao had already planned to find a secluded place to search the souls of Luo Nan and others, so he did not specifically inquire about the affairs of the Gu Master world.
Because I left in a hurry, I didn't hear the conversation between the two. Otherwise, I would know that after the third-level Gu Master, he is no longer called a fourth-level Gu Master, but a being in the Rong Shen realm, generally known as the Rong Shen Ancestor.
