After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 145 - Gu Snake

Chapter 145: Gu Snake

“It seems you are not cultivators from the Qiankun Sect.”

Jiang Huai looked indifferently at the three cultivators in front of him, “If you were truly from the Qiankun Sect, you wouldn’t have the guts to do such a thing. I’ve never heard of the Qiankun Sect; it must be some minor sect with no reputation. But the Fang family, I do know of them, a prestigious family from the Linglong Continent. I don’t think you have the nerve.”

“You guessed right,” one of the cultivators replied coldly.

“Then where did you come from?”

Jiang Huai asked curiously, “Those cultivators on the road, were they killed by you?”

“We brothers don’t have the guts for that. We don’t kill; we’re just greedy and lustful. These young misses from the great families are all naive and especially easy to deceive. We three brothers often disguise ourselves as disciples of sects, taking advantage of these little secret realms... to take liberties. Even if these young misses lose their reputation, they dare not speak out.”

“I see.”

Jiang Huai nodded slightly, “So now, are you going to attack me, or are you going to run?”

“If it were any other time... I would choose to run,” one of the cultivators said coldly, looking at Jiang Huai, then greedily at Wen Wanwan beside him.

“But the fairy beside you is so beautiful... Even if I’m willing to run, my brothers here probably can’t bear to... Better to take a gamble, break your limbs and leave you here, and take this fairy with us... to enjoy ourselves in a cave for seven days.”

Wen Wanwan’s fingertips lightly clutched Jiang Huai’s sleeve, but he simply said softly.

“Don’t be afraid, I’ll ask a couple more questions and then kill them.”

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere immediately became tense. The three casual cultivators stood up, each holding a sword, all at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Their true appearances were soon revealed, all significantly older than they first appeared, middle-aged cultivators, but because of their low cultivation, they disguised themselves, mingling among the younger cultivators.

They had been at the late stage of Foundation Establishment for many years, had rich experience, and had been to various secret realms many times, often successfully deceiving those naive young girls who were especially easy to fool. Occasionally they had stumbled, but they also ran very fast.

But they had rarely seen a fairy as beautiful as Wen Wanwan. Now their hearts itched as if ants were crawling over them.

But as soon as Jiang Huai spoke, their hearts dropped to freezing point.

“So those bodies on the road really weren’t killed by you?”

“Of course not... Fellow Daoist, wasn’t your tone a bit too arrogant just now?”

Even as he said this, the casual cultivator’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat because Jiang Huai’s tone was too casual as if when he said he would kill them in a moment, they would really die...

“You’ll know in a moment whether I’m arrogant or not.”

Jiang Huai simply replied, thought for a moment, had no other questions, stood up, and in the next instant, the light of the Ye Ning sword shone in the darkness.

“Fellow Daoist... Now that evil cultivators are rampant in the Daoji Ancestral Land, preserving spiritual energy and taking care of oneself is the most important thing. How about we forget what happened today... You let us three brothers leave, the effect of the spirit snake flower juice on these two Miss Fangs will take effect soon, and they won’t be able to resist throwing themselves at you... You stay here to detoxify them, and we won’t bother you anymore, what do you think?”

“No.”

Jiang Huai shook his head, “My master taught me to draw my sword and help when I see injustice.”

Jiang Huai swung his first sword.

The light of the Ye Ning sword fell on the casual cultivator, and in an instant, a large amount of blood spurted from his neck, his head separated from his body.

His two brothers, seeing this, scattered almost instantly, but unfortunately, as Jiang Huai released the Ye Ning sword, the blade spun a sword flower in the air, and when the hilt returned to Jiang Huai’s hand, his two brothers were also immediately decapitated.

“If you’re scared, Wanwan, you can close your eyes,” Jiang Huai said softly.

“Wanwan will try to get used to it,” Wen Wanwan bit her lip, her voice trembling slightly but firm.

Jiang Huai smiled helplessly, then turned his gaze to the two Miss Fangs.

The two Miss Fangs were wearing warm-colored long dresses, with delicate and pretty features, and their figures had not yet fully developed. But at this moment, their cheeks were flushed, and their fingertips had begun to tear at their clothes, seemingly very hot.

Jiang Huai took out two detoxification pills, forcibly pried open their lips, and fed them one each. The two Miss Fangs gradually regained clarity but felt sticky, as if the undergarments beneath their dresses were somewhat damp.

Their consciousness was still fairly clear, having seen everything that had happened, and now they were frightened. The more observant Miss Fang, the sixth sister, recognized the two characters engraved on Jiang Huai’s Ye Ning sword and widened her eyes.

“You are Jiang Huai from the Tianxuan Sect!”

Jiang Huai was taken aback, “You’ve heard of me?”

“My sister mentioned you. She said your swordsmanship is very powerful.”

“Who is your sister?”

“Fang Ziyu.”

Jiang Huai scratched his head, he had a vague impression, perhaps a few years ago at the Eastern Region competition, she had sent him a sachet which he had politely declined?

Or had she asked him for swordsmanship advice?

He couldn’t quite remember. At that time, there were too many women who had shown him affection, and it was too chaotic to remember each name clearly.

“Do you remember my sister, Holy Son Jiang?” Miss Fang, the sixth sister, looked at Jiang Huai expectantly.

“I might have a bit of an impression, but I can’t remember clearly...”

Jiang Huai replied somewhat awkwardly, causing the sixth Miss Fang to feel a bit disappointed, muttering softly, “After that time at the Eastern Region competition, my sister often mentioned your name for a long, long time until my other sisters and I almost got calluses on our ears from listening.”

Jiang Huai smiled helplessly, not wanting to continue the topic, and softly said, “Be very careful in the secret realm, don’t be so foolishly deceived by others again, understand?”

“My sister and I also saw many cultivator bodies on the road, so we accepted their suggestion to travel with them, a-and my sister and I drank from the same wine jug as them, after seeing them drink for a long time without any problems, we only drank on their second suggestion...”

Miss Fang, the sixth sister, seemed to want to prove they weren’t foolish, but her voice grew softer and softer.

Jiang Huai didn’t bother to say more, stood up with Wen Wanwan, and prepared to find a cave to rest for the night. But as soon as they stood up, Miss Fang, the fifth sister, and the sixth sister also stood up, clutching the hem of their dresses, timidly saying.

“Can we... come with you... There are evil cultivators in the Daoji Ancestral Land... we are afraid...”

Sigh.

Jiang Huai knew it.

Once you start being a good person, you have to see it through, but he really didn’t like trouble. However, he had no choice but to say,

“Follow along then.”

The two Miss Fangs immediately showed smiles, holding each other’s hands and following behind the two of them. But after a few steps, Jiang Huai suddenly stopped.

“Wait.”

“What’s wrong?” The two Miss Fangs were startled.

“Don’t talk.”

Jiang Huai instructed, and the two Miss Fangs obediently covered their lips. Wen Wanwan looked at Jiang Huai with some confusion, but he pointed to the distance. At first, there was nothing in the distance, but after a while, a red snake slowly emerged from the grass. The snake was covered in patterns, and Jiang Huai recognized at a glance that these were the patterns of a Gu insect.

In an instant, Jiang Huai activated the Mirror Flower technique, completely concealing the breath of the group and deceiving the Gu insect’s perception. In their sight, the snake quickly burrowed into the neck of a corpse on the ground, which soon turned into a dried-up mummy. The snake quickly emerged and entered another body to feast. Soon, all three bodies turned into mummies, and while hidden by the Mirror Flower, Jiang Huai quietly gripped the sword hilt and, in the instant the Gu snake emerged from the third body, drew his sword and cut it in half.

After the Gu snake was split into two, the next moment, it suddenly transformed into countless red flying insects, heading straight for the distant sky.

Jiang Huai drew his sword again, cutting most of the flying insects in half, but a few managed to escape at high speed. Jiang Huai dispelled the Mirror Flower that concealed their forms and called out to the fleeing insects.

“If you continue to kill indiscriminately in this secret realm, I will find you and tear you to pieces.”

The flying insects, which should have flown far away, suddenly stopped and transformed into tiny red dots, forming a line of text.

“I really like the woman beside you. When my true body finds you, I look forward to seeing the expression on your face as you watch her beneath me, being wantonly humiliated by me.”

This evil cultivator was more arrogant than Jiang Huai had imagined, and the writing soon vanished without a trace.

This Gu snake was probably just one of the hunting Gu released by the evil cultivator, and it was likely that the same kind of Gu creatures had killed those cultivators earlier.

Where was the true body of that evil cultivator now?

Although Jiang Huai had some understanding of the methods of evil cultivators, he couldn’t directly find the whereabouts of that evil cultivator.

Now that the night was deep and the other party was hidden in the shadows, Jiang Huai planned to visit the inheritance secret realm in the Daoji Ancestral Land again tomorrow and think of a solution.

Now with two burdens following him, Jiang Huai sighed helplessly, “Let’s go, we’ll find a cave to rest in.”

Half an hour later, Jiang Huai and Wen Wanwan finally found a fairly spacious cave. He took out blankets and bedding, set up a formation outside the cave, and infused it with his soul power, so any movement would be directly reflected in his mind. He gently pinched Wen Wanwan’s cheek.

“Alright, rest well for the night, I’ll hold you, don’t be afraid.”

Wen Wanwan’s body snuggled into his embrace.

The most spacious part of the cave was occupied by Jiang Huai, and the two Miss Fangs huddled in a corner by the rocks, covered with blankets. If not for Jiang Huai’s presence, the two girls would probably be too scared to sleep all night.

Jiang Huai softly comforted Wen Wanwan in his arms. She wasn’t as fragile as he thought. She bit her lip and rubbed her cheek against his chest, “Wanwan is fine... With Senior Brother Jiang Huai here, Wanwan isn’t afraid.”

Jiang Huai looked down and gently kissed her forehead.
