Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World-Chapter 1091 - 475: Righteous and Honorable, A Worthy Death (Part 2)

Chapter 1091: Chapter 475: Righteous and Honorable, A Worthy Death (Part 2)

Everyone nodded.

In simple terms, Zheng Fa’s current aim is to enter the Nine Luminaries Heaven and come out safely.

The things exposed by the Lu Clan are very useful to Zheng Fa now.

The Heavenly Emperor Body looked at Elder Han and said, "Tell our disciples at Haori Mountain to prepare to replace some key Lu Clan disciples; my body will take care of them."

"Yes!"

Zhang suddenly spoke, "Not just the Lu Clan, but also the Gu God."

The Heavenly Emperor Body was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Indeed, the Lu Clan wants to use the power of the Gu God to resist the two Demon Ancestors, and so can we!"

Frankly speaking, with the strength of the Lu Clan, these schemes are courting death for them.

But they’re quite suitable for the Jiushan Sect to play with...

"Qing Yan."

"Here."

"You all continue your research. It will be best if we can affect the Gu God without anyone knowing..."

Mu Qingyan nodded confidently upon hearing these words.

This surprised the Heavenly Emperor Body; was his disciple so confident?

Seemingly sensing his doubts, Mu Qingyan said, "Apart from various hormones, Elder Jiao and we are also cultivating the King Worm."

"King Worm?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"A kind that can control other Gu insects and follow our orders. We already have some clues through genetic methods."

Hearing this, Zheng Fa suddenly felt a great longing for the Gu God.

...

Seeing the Gu God again still at Haori Mountain.

But it wasn’t the real Gu God, just the statue, which was now over a hundred times bigger than before—

In a valley behind Haori Mountain.

Zheng Fa and others stood at the valley’s bottom, and the Gu God’s statue towered above them, almost taller than Haori Mountain.

The Gu God’s eyes were gazing upon the summit of Haori Mountain.

Beside Zheng Fa lay hundreds of Haori Mountain cultivators, including loose cultivators, Lu Clan members, and even branches of the Yun Clan.

They were bound by magical treasures, glaring angrily at Zheng Fa and the Lu Clan elders around him, cursing, "Demon Ancestor’s lackeys!"

"Shi Nandang, you too have submitted to the Demon Ancestor!"

"Even if we become ghosts, we won’t forgive you!"

Other Haori Mountain cultivators stood on the mountains on both sides, watching Zheng Fa with grim expressions.

They originally thought that Shi Nandang’s return would stop the increasingly frenzied Lu Clan.

Yet who would have thought the two sides would unite, capturing their sect’s cultivators to feed the Gu God.

The Lu Clan’s strength was already the strongest, and it previously required the combined efforts of the Yun and Luo Clans to barely contend with them.

Coupled with the formidable Shi Nandang, the current Haori Mountain truly had none who could oppose them.

"Shi Nandang! Do you think joining the Gu God will keep you alive?"

"The Lu Clan won’t trust you! I’ll be waiting for you in the Underworld!"

Frankly speaking, this was Zheng Fa’s first time being scolded like this. Luckily, he was now Shi Nandang, and his expression remained unfazed upon hearing these words.

The Lu Clan elders beside him were smiling, not caring in the slightest, their gazes occasionally and intentionally glancing at Zheng Fa.

The cursing gradually subsided, and Zheng Fa initially thought it was because their skin was too thick for the crowd to continue, but then realized it was because the queue for feeding time had arrived, scaring them into silence.

Perhaps because they had suffered greatly at Zheng Fa’s hands, or out of fear of being tracked, the Gu God was now cautious about accepting blood sacrifices:

Groups of Gu insects approached one after another, in order.

Once the previous group had eaten, left the valley, and disappeared underground, the next group was allowed to enter.

In this way, even if there was another ambush like last time, only a small portion of the insect swarm would be lost.

To Zheng Fa, the valley resembled an insect clan canteen, letting the Gu insects queue for feeding.

A wave of black slowly surged towards them from outside the valley.

The rustling sound was overwhelming, and the plants on the ground were corroded beyond recognition by the slime.

At last, someone could no longer endure it.

"Ancestor Shi! Save me!"

"Master!"

"I am Haori Mountain’s True Inheritor!"

A cold shout echoed from within the valley, "Harming fellow disciples! You’ve gone mad!"

Dozens of streaks of rainbow light shot from the mountainside, aiming at the valley.

On this day, at last, people from both clans couldn’t hold back and began to join forces in resistance.

Leading them was Luo Yun, alongside some Divinity Transformation Nascent Souls from the Yun and Luo clans.

Before Zheng Fa could make a move, he heard Shi Nandang’s master sneer, muttering some incantations to the Gu God statue with a devout face.

From the Gu God’s statue flew swarms of moths, overwhelming Luo Yun and the others’ magical treasures before flying to the surrounding mountains.

The moths opened their mouths and spat out white silken threads at Luo Yun and other people’s sides.

Luo Yun and others were cocooned and rolled down from the mountainside to Zheng Fa’s feet.

Zheng Fa looked down to find Luo Yun glaring at him, tears in her eyes.

A Lu Clan elder laughed, "We knew you had rebellious intentions, today is perfect for wiping you all out!"

"You harm fellow disciples of Haori Mountain; it is you who betrayed Haori Mountain!"

The Lu Clan elder sneered, "The Lu Clan is the true master of Haori Mountain! Your two clans only exist because of us; how dare you defy us now?"

"..."

"From the beginning to the end, Haori Mountain survives only because of the Lu Clan, for the prosperity of our clan, you die meaningfully!"

The Gu insects in the valley kept getting closer.

Luo Yun beneath Zheng Fa’s feet turned her head slightly, looking at him with pleading eyes.

But Zheng Fa didn’t look at her, seemingly ignoring her.

Luo Yun closed her eyes.

It was Shi Nandang’s master who seemed to catch her eye’s cry for help. He glanced playfully at Zheng Fa and then said:

"Nephew Luo, to be buried alive by insects and merge with the Gu God, you can continue to protect Haori Mountain in the future."

"Ugh!" As the moment approached, Luo Yun grew more fiery and opened her eyes to curse, "You still have the face to mention Haori Mountain?"

"I understand Nephew Luo doesn’t comprehend our hardships." Shi Nandang’s master smiled instead of getting angry, "Being fellow disciples, I am reluctant for you to die."

"But only the Gu God can help us inherit the Saint Ancestor’s legacy and resist the Jiushan Sect."

"Today, even if it’s me or my Lu Clan people who die, I volunteer!"

This made Luo Yun seethe with resentment, clenching her teeth as Shi Nandang’s master continued, "For Haori Mountain, we disregard life and death, let alone reputation?"

Listening to him, Zheng Fa flicked his fingers lightly.

Luo Yun was too angry to speak, accepting fate, lying on the ground, her face pale with fear.

She heard a sound making her shiver:

A very faint buzzing, getting closer.

The thin legs of insects scraped against the ground, right by her ears.

Even strands of her hair seemed to get caught by something, swaying left and right.

Luo Yun finally couldn’t resist opening her eyes, a beetle the size of half a head was crawling next to her cheek.

The mouthpart, the size of a fist, brushed against her ear, as if deciding where to start eating.

At this moment, she finally couldn’t hold back her tears.

But astonishingly, the beetle seemed uninterested in her and crawled straight past.

Not just this beetle.

Swarms of Gu insects crawled over the Yun and Luo clan bodies on the ground, showing no inclination to linger.

"This..."

Lu Clan members widened their eyes in confusion, only to see those Gu insects swarming towards them.

The insect tide rushed towards the Lu Clan people at the valley’s bottom, and although a few stronger ones like Shi Nandang’s master escaped, most of the Lu Clan was overwhelmed by Gu insects, leaving only a few screams:

"Ah!"

"Get away, flee!"

"Save me!"

Lying on the ground, Luo Yun dazedly watched this scene, yet to comprehend.

The valley fell silent, no one expected this swarm of Gu insects to specifically target the Lu Clan!

In an instant, confusion, delight, and even vengeance intertwined on Luo Yun’s face.

"Was it you?"

Shi Nandang’s master suddenly turned his head, looking at Zheng Fa, expression full of suspicion.

"No, it was clearly the Gu God." Zheng Fa replied earnestly, "She prefers to merge with Lu Clan people."

"..."

"These Lu Clan brothers, sacrificed to the bug’s maw for Haori Mountain, also died meaningfully!"
