"It's about time, I can't wait any longer."
Night had already fallen. In the dark room, Fang Yuan opened his eyes.
He had already taken off his Gu Master attire and wore a black robe that covered his legs. Together with his long black hair, he looked like a specter in the dark.
In his previous life, he was already used to having long hair. Some Gu worms needed long hair to display their might. For example, Black Hair Gu, Steel Mane Gu and so on.
Long hair was very convenient. Sometimes when he needed to change his appearance, he would cut his hair short. But short hair could only grow in a short period of time with the power of Gu worms.
Not long ago, he made an agreement with Guyue and Mo Chen. Till now, the Pig Iron Gu and the forty thousand Yuan stone had been delivered to Fang Yuan in batches. Only the grass Gu for healing was not in his hands.
"Without healing Gu, I can only forget about it. How can everything go according to plan, reality is full of helplessness … "
Fang Yuan sighed and stood up. He lightly pushed open the door and used the Stealth Scales Gu, disappearing into the night.
He was forced by the situation and had no choice but to take action.
The Tie father and daughter were pressing harder and harder, and his plan to go to Xiong clan was also stopped.
Most of Xiong clan's strength was preserved, causing Bai clan and Guyue clan to not dare to pressure them too much. Thus, their request for compensation ended in failure, and the three sides agreed to hold a three-clan competition.
Although the Mo faction wanted to recruit Fang Yuan, this caused Fang Yuan to be caught in a political struggle, causing the other clan elders to view him with enmity.
Adding on the fact that Bai Ning Bing was getting stronger the closer he got to death, the situation was getting more and more disadvantageous for Fang Yuan, forcing him into a desperate situation.
Fang Yuan was a schemer, but his schemes needed to be supported by his own strength. Facing such a situation, even if he tried his best and improved greatly compared to his previous life, his Rank three initial stage cultivation was still not enough to break out of this predicament.
"The situation is deteriorating, I can only make a risky move and use a strong medicine!" Fang Yuan pondered and placed his thoughts on the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus.
As long as he plucked the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, the spirit spring in the underground cave would be destroyed. The clan would definitely conduct a frantic investigation, but what else could they do other than investigate?
The spirit spring had already been destroyed. Even if he retrieved the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus and placed it back into the spirit spring, or even destroyed it, he would not be able to restore the spirit spring.
If the clan wanted to survive, what else could they do?
There was only one way, and that was to seize a new spirit spring!
However, there were only three spirit springs on Qing Mao Mountain, and each one was occupied by three families. If one of them was destroyed by Fang Yuan, then the Guyue Clan would only have one choice. Two choices.
That choice was war.
There were two choices, the first was the Bai family, and the second was the Xiong family.
Only by seizing the spirit spring of one of them would the Guyue Clan have the material foundation to exist.
Without the support of a spirit spring, a Gu Master could not cultivate at all.
However, this move was extremely dangerous. Fang Yuan had no other choice, the Spring Autumn Cicada was recovering faster and faster, his aperture could no longer bear the burden. He didn't have much time, so he could only fight back and fight for a chance of survival in the face of death.
…
In the hall, the lights were lit.
The Gu Master had already taken out the Photo-audio Gu, but this Gu was in Guyue Bo's hands.
"Divine investigator Tie, what do you think of my request?" Guyue Bo smiled.
Tie Ruo Nan lightly snorted.
Tie Xue Leng pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, if we find out that Fang Yuan is the culprit, I will also leave enough time for him to participate in the three-clan competition."
"Father …" Tie Ruo Nan's eyes flashed with a strange light, this was not Tie Xue Leng's style.
"Hehehe. Divine investigator Tie's words are worth a lot, he never goes back on his words. I trust you completely, and thank you for your understanding. "Guyue Bo's smile became even more warm, but he was coldly snorting in his heart.
Guyue Yao Ji had secretly led the Tie father and daughter pair into the underground cave to read the clan's official history books. As the clan leader, how could he not know about this?
It was just that the competition was near, and at the same time, the clan's political struggles were complicated, so he restrained himself.
Although Tie Xue Leng was a Rank five expert, his great strength could not stifle the dissatisfaction in Guyue Bo's heart.
"Fortunately, the true contents are all recorded in the clan's secret history book, and only the clan leader knows about it. That official history book is only for outsiders to read. "Guyue Bo was secretly pleased.
Guyue clan's history books were divided into official history and secret history.
The official history book was kept in the secret room in the underground cave, and the contents were covered up by the later generations, mixing truth and falsehood to fool people.
As for the secret history book, it recorded the true contents without a trace of falsehood. There were even many secrets that could not be divulged, recorded in the records.
For example, how to summon the flying guillotine, there was absolutely no such thing in the official history book, only the secret history book recorded it in detail.
"Clan leader Guyue, my father has already agreed to your request, can you show us the recording now?" Tie Ruo Nan's tone was not pleasant.
"Even if Divine Investigator Tie did not agree, I would still do my best to cooperate with you in the investigation." Guyue Bo smiled as he clarified, and with a light pinch, the Photo-audio Gu was crushed.
This Gu was crushed, but it turned into a lump of seven colored smoke, mixed with all sorts of noises.
Guyue Bo opened his mouth and blew lightly, and this smoke floated to a wall, entering it.
Like a drop of ink falling into water, the pure white wall soon had a rainbow imprint.
The imprint grew larger and larger until it formed an image. It was the scene of the Awakening Ceremony.
In this image, Fangzheng quickly found himself, as well as many familiar faces.
These faces were all excitedly looking around the cave, their faces filled with the immaturity of youths. Like a fledgling that had just spread its wings and flew out of its nest.
"That is Fang Yuan …" Similarly, Tie Ruo Nan also quickly found Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan walked in the group, although he looked around, his gaze was calm and cold. Among his peers, he was like a crane among chickens. But if one did not pay attention to him, normal people would not notice this peculiarity.
But now, everyone's gazes were focused on him, causing this peculiarity to be exposed.
"Eh? This Fang Yuan is really strange. "At this moment, even Guyue Bo could not help but show a slightly surprised expression.
The image on the wall changed, and the youths arrived at the sea of flowers.
They were about to awaken. One by one, the youths crossed the underground river, walking towards the sea of flowers on the other side.
The Hope Gu's radiance rose and fell.
The voices of the youths and clan elders could also be heard clearly.
The scene of that time was replayed, making people feel like they were there.
First, Guyue Mobei was tested to have B grade aptitude, causing a commotion. Next, it was Guyue Cheng, who was also tested to have B grade aptitude.
"There is indeed something strange. This Guyue Cheng's expression is too nervous, his body is stiff, and his skin color is not normal. It is just that the underground cave is not bright, but if you observe carefully, you can see that he has smeared something on his body to attract the Hope Gu. Hehe, it should be cheating. "Tie Ruo Nan saw this, and was certain.
But soon, she frowned.
Fang Yuan appeared, he crossed the river and went to the other side.
The Hope Gu's radiance was not very bright. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The youths and clan elders sighed in disappointment, and entered everyone's ears.
Everything seemed normal, but Tie Ruo Nan's frown deepened.
Fang Yuan's expression was very calm.
At that time, his back was facing the clan elders and the youths, thus others could not see his expression. But now, as a spectator, Tie Ruo Nan found that Fang Yuan's expression was indifferent, without any change.
It was as if, as if … he had already known this result!
"This is impossible! Putting myself in his shoes, if it was me, a fifteen year old with great potential, but was found to only have C grade aptitude. How could I not feel a trace of disappointment, disappointment, and discouragement? How could this be, how could this be? "Tie Ruo Nan's brows were almost knitted into a knot.
A huge cloud of doubt shrouded her mind, causing her breathing to become stifled.
Her heart was thumping wildly at this moment. Thoughts after thoughts flashed in her mind like lightning.
Why?
How could this be?
"Wait a minute, aptitude … could it be?!" Tie Ruo Nan raised her head, feeling as if her heart was about to explode. An extremely daring and crazy guess appeared in her mind.
…
The bright light shone on Fangzheng's face.
The Awakening Ceremony, to him, was the most important turning point in his life.
Before the Awakening Ceremony, he had a kind of life, humble and insignificant, unknown to the public. After the Awakening Ceremony, he had a different kind of life, shining brightly and bursting with confidence.
In his memory, the Awakening Ceremony was a blur, and he was muddle-headed.
At this moment, Fangzheng looked at the ceremony from the perspective of a bystander, the complicated feelings in his heart could not be described with words.
Fangzheng saw himself on the stage, and at that time, he felt so inferior and weak.
Following that, he saw himself falling into the river, struggling, and being picked up by his brother, Fang Yuan, his whole body drenched in water, looking extremely battered and exhausted.
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, this was him in the past, the one who was mocked by so many people!
Then he saw himself stepping onto the other shore, walking with his head lowered, his body shrouded in the light of hope, shocking countless people.
This was a moment of glory, this was a moment of miracle!
A grade aptitude, from now on, the world was different!
"Fangzheng, I have a question, I want to ask you." Tie Ruo Nan suddenly spoke, disturbing Fangzheng's mood.
"What is it? Ask away, I will definitely tell you everything I know. "Fangzheng turned back, smiling.
"It's about your brother. When your brother was supporting you, I saw his lips moving, but the surroundings were too noisy. What did he say to you, can you tell me truthfully? "Tie Ruo Nan's eyes shone as she asked.
"At that time …" Fangzheng fell into his memories, "I think he said … the road?"
"That's right. It's the road. "Fangzheng's eyes became clear," I remember now. He said to me, 'The road in the future will be exciting.' Hmm? That's strange, I didn't feel it at that time, but now that I think about it, I feel that my brother's words had a deeper meaning, as if, as if he knew I had A grade aptitude beforehand! "
