Chapter 1115: Chapter 487: Acting Challenge (Second Update)

"The junior brother is trapped in that Five Viscera Temple?"

In the Ziwei Valley of the Jiushan Realm, Yuan Xiaoniao was anxiously pacing back and forth, trailing a streak of Green Phoenix Spirit Fire behind her.

"Don’t panic." Zhang grabbed her, her face icy, "What’s the use of panicking? If it doesn’t work, dispatch the Tianhe Army to Haori Mountain."

The Heavenly Emperor Body couldn’t help but sweat slightly on his forehead; shouldn’t you be the one not to panic, Zhang?

"Uh, Zhang, we’re not at that point yet, after all, the Tianhe Army is not fully formed."

"Right, right, Wuyi, Zheng Fa is fine." Master Pang also persuaded from the side, "Moreover, there’s still One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones, he will definitely be able to extricate himself."

Zhang, surrounded and consoled by the group, gradually reined in the cold light in her eyes, and still unassuredly asked, "Is he really alright?"

"Creation Taoist probably wants to use his true body to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, hence he has not taken any harmful actions, just that..." The Heavenly Emperor frowned and said, "The true body has been cut off from external contacts."

"What do you mean?"

"The true body not only cannot leave the Five Viscera Temple, but it seems no one is coming to find him, not even any news from the outside world." The Heavenly Emperor Body explained, "Previously, both Nuwa and Tongtian had made arrangements with the true body."

"Now, there’s no news, the true body thinks, one possibility is that Nuwa and the others forgot what they said, or it was all just an illusion, that everything happening in the Purple Cloud Palace was not real."

"Secondly, it’s that Creation Taoist has isolated the inside and outside of the Five Viscera Temple."

At this point, the Heavenly Emperor Body paused, seemingly with some speculation, "This Five Viscera Temple is probably very special, the true body dares not act rashly."

"This is troubling..." Master Pang frowned, his chubby face full of worry, "In this way, wouldn’t Zheng Fa be tied hand and foot?"

"Indeed." The Heavenly Emperor Body sighed and asked, "Not to mention anything else, wanting to go find Tongtian, Nuwa and inquire about the inscriptions of the Qiankun Tripod, there’s no opportunity."

"So, to leave the Five Viscera Temple, he must gain the trust of that Creation Taoist?" Zhang softly said, "Yet that person is particularly wary of the junior brother."

"Not only him, but all thirteen people in this Five Viscera Temple, which one of them isn’t an enemy of Zheng Fa?" Master Pang deeply sighed, helplessly saying, "They are all waiting for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, how can there be trust?"

Zhang lightly nodded, her expression also slightly helpless.

...

Zheng Fa stood in the courtyard of the Five Viscera Temple, looking out the window. After the first lecture, once they returned to this Five Viscera Temple, he hadn’t gone out again.

A few days ago, he tentatively found a small path and walked toward the foot of the mountain, but as he walked, he ended up at a cliff that absolutely shouldn’t exist, with nowhere to go forward.

Zheng Fa knew, this was a silent warning — he was under house arrest.

He looked through the wooden window, gazing to the sky, and between the sky and him, there was still a net formed by entwined trees.

Chirp-chirp-chirp, chirp-chirp-chirp.

The sound of cicadas in summer echoed in Zheng Fa’s ears.

Cicada?

He looked towards the distant trees, his gaze immediately solidifying.

A cicada about half the size of a palm, with a back covered in spots, was perching on the tree nearest to the small courtyard, its wings vibrating and singing.

He recognized this cicada!

This was a type of Spirit Gu cultivated by the Gu God; though it appeared to lack Spiritual Energy, it was, in fact, extremely useful — it’s called the Thousand-Eyed Cicada; though it sounds mystical, it’s essentially a stealthy surveillance camera.

According to Jiushan Sect’s research, these Thousand-Eyed Cicadas inherently possess Spirit Eye, able to transmit complex image and sound information between each other and are not easily noticed by others.

Zheng Fa activated the Void Spirit Eye, looked outside, carefully searching, only to find that on the surrounding dozens of trees, there were cicada calls, and several Thousand-Eyed Cicadas even crawled over the courtyard walls, heading for his window.

Gu God?

Could she deceive the Creation Taoist?

The smile on Zheng Fa’s face flashed briefly, Master Pang was wrong; who said he was isolated and without help in the Five Viscera Temple?

...

"How is it?"

In another courtyard of the Five Viscera Temple, White Bone Demon Ancestor transmitted his voice solemnly to Gu God.

Gu God glanced at him, didn’t speak, just gave a smug smile.

"You found it?" White Bone Demon Ancestor exclaimed in delight, "This Nine Luminaries Heaven is truly unfair... We’ve waited for so many years, now to be preempted by this Shi Nandang."

Upon hearing this, the smile on Gu God’s face also gradually disappeared, just saying, "Fortunately, this Shi Nandang isn’t strong enough, even if he did acquire that Hongmeng Purple Qi, we still have a chance."

"I’m afraid Creation thinks the same." White Bone Demon Ancestor snorted, "This Five Viscera Temple is his Daoist Field; if he wasn’t harboring the same intention, why would he protect this kid so much?"

Gu God gently nodded, her expression also quite unpleasant: "I’ve never been able to fathom Creation’s intent."

"Luckily, you and I teamed up, there’s no need to fear him." White Bone Demon Ancestor said quietly, "Moreover, there’s the Lu Clan holding Nine Luminaries Heavenly Gate; it’s just that White Lotus and Dapeng are far superior in strength to the two of us, they are the real threat."

"That’s why I sought you for an alliance, otherwise, how could we snatch that Hongmeng Purple Qi with the two of us being the weakest in Dao Fruit?"

"...What do you want me to do?"

"To hold off White Lotus and the likes of Creation."

White Bone Demon Ancestor snorted: "Then what will you do?"

Gu God coldly said: "With my children, no matter how strong the others are, Shi Nandang cannot escape my control."

"Are you confident?"

"Of course!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

White Bone Demon Ancestor said in a low voice, "I want to hear, what exactly you plan to do."

Gu God was silent for a moment before explaining, "I have two more types of Gu."

"What?"

"One is called the Silk Worm, the other is called Skin Painting Gu." She revealed a proud look as she spoke.

White Bone Demon Ancestor’s tone was somewhat curious: "What is the supernatural ability of these two Gu?"

"The Silk Worm enters the body; any cultivator will become my puppet, at my disposal."

The Spirit Fire in White Bone Demon Ancestor’s skeletal eye sockets swayed left and right.

Gu God chuckled: "This child only controls cultivators with lower cultivation than myself."

White Bone Demon Ancestor nodded his skull and inquired further: "And the Skin Painting Gu?"

"It can devour a cultivator’s entire cultivation and take its place."

The Spirit Fire in White Bone Demon Ancestor’s eyes flared brightly: "In this way, even if Shi Nandang got the Hongmeng Purple Qi, it would be in our pockets!"

Gu God proudly nodded: "By then, with the Lu Clan providing outside assistance, we’ll carry the Hongmeng Purple Qi, leave Nine Luminaries Heaven, and keep the rest locked inside."

White Bone Demon Ancestor seemed very agitated, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, before saying in a deep voice: "I agree, you go ahead and do it, leave the rest to me."

"No rush, Shi Nandang is not a concern, the critical thing is to avoid the attention of Creation and the three of White Lotus."

...

The so-called unconcerned Zheng Fa, receiving and analyzing the information sent back by the Thousand-Eyed Cicadas, was quite worried, and he wondered if he could ask Gu God one question:

How should I act, to look like I’m often possessed by Gu bugs?

He truly had no experience.
