Chapter 1092 - 1091: Gu Poison Ancestor

"You scared away my Lifebound Gu. Even if you die a hundred times, it won't quell the hatred in my heart!"

Ye Qingchen looked up.

He saw a fierce-eyed elder, staring with a chilling gaze at a pale-faced young girl. Beside the girl lay seven or eight people, dressed as if they belonged to the same sect.

But they lay on the ground at the moment, their life or death unknown, clearly gravely injured!

Everyone around saw this scene and hurriedly avoided it.

"I didn't do it on purpose..."

The girl, Chen Ying, was full of terror.

Someone who couldn't stand the sight of this wanted to step forward to intervene, but was quickly pulled back by someone familiar, who whispered: "Are you looking to die? You dare meddle in Du Li's affairs?"

"Du Li, which Du Li?" The person scrutinized the fierce elder up and down, noticing the green robe on him, giving an incredibly eerie feeling.

"Who else? The one known as the Gu Poison Ancestor!" the familiar person whispered.

"Hiss!"

As the words fell, the cultivator who initially wanted to intervene took a sharp breath, feeling goosebumps all over. This Du Li was a seasoned Earth Immortal of the sixth stage, his power truly terrifying.

He was both righteous and evil, skilled in Gu techniques and curses, able to kill without a sound. He enjoyed a fearsome reputation in Southern Heaven and Western Wilderness. And he was just a small Human Immortal; had he intervened earlier, he might have already perished without a trace.

"Why is someone like Du Li bothering with a little girl?" The person expressed confusion.

The familiar person quickly explained, "Apparently, he was searching for a rare Gu insect in Western Wilderness when he was unintentionally disturbed by this disciple from Paramount. The disturbance thoroughly enraged Du Li, leading to this relentless pursuit!"

As the words fell, the previous Human Immortal felt a chill on his scalp. From Western Wilderness to here, the pursuit covered tens of thousands of miles. Given Du Li's temperament, anyone daring to intervene would surely be killed first, then the entire Paramount sect would be wiped out.

Everyone else present also watched the scene with fear.

After all.

Du Li was infamously fierce, and no one wished to offend such a seasoned Earth Immortal for an obscure Paramount.

To these beings, mortals were like ants.

Even if the entire Paramount were exterminated, no one dared speak up.

"Not doing it on purpose makes it alright?" Du Li's eyes carried a cold light, and his gaze seemed murderous, "I spent years of effort finding that Lifebound Gu, and because of your shout, my years of hard work were destroyed!"

"Just killing you won't quell the hatred in my heart! I want to let you experience the terror of my Gu insects!"

Du Li's face turned cold as he stepped toward Chen Ying, an expression of cruelty.

Seeing this scene, everyone shook their heads quietly, realizing she would most likely wish she were dead under the hands of this Gu Master. Not only her, but even the entire Paramount would probably not escape this calamity.

"No!"

Looking at the slowly approaching Du Li, Chen Ying closed her eyes in fright.

As everyone quietly lamented over the fate of Chen Ying and the Paramount, and the others from Paramount lying on the ground with despair on their faces, seemingly resigning to their fate, suddenly a voice came from the side:

"Since the Lifebound Gu is lost, just find another one! Do me a favor and let them go!"

Everyone heard this and immediately widened their eyes to look.

They saw a young man sitting casually by the window, quietly watching the scene.

The person speaking was Ye Qingchen!

"This kid is crazy!"

The people in the tavern felt chills running down their spines as they looked at Ye Qingchen with eyes suggesting he was a dead man.

What kind of existence is Du Li?

A seasoned Earth Immortal!

A being known as the Gu Poison Ancestor!

With so many people in the tavern, hadn't they seen no one dared make a sound? With Du Li's murderous nature, he wouldn't mind casually exterminating everyone in the tavern!

Then, everyone saw Du Li's cold gaze turn toward them.

Under the scrutiny of this murderous gaze, the drinkers near Ye Qingchen were terrified, their limbs turning to jelly, scrambling to flee, wishing their mothers had given birth to them with more legs.

Almost instantly, everyone around Ye Qingchen had fled cleanly.

"You said what, do you a favor?" Du Li's eyes turned cold, and he shouted harshly: "What do you count as?"

His heart burned with fury; first, his Lifebound Gu escaped, wasting years of hard work. Now another young lad jumped out, asking for a favor? Was he, a dignified seasoned Earth Immortal, to be bullied by any random punk?

"Me?"

Ye Qingchen tilted his head slightly, as if pondering, before he spoke lightly:

"I'm someone you can't afford to provoke!"

Boom!

Upon hearing this, the tavern bustled with commotion.

Everyone looked at Ye Qingchen as if they were gazing at a dead man.

Previously, it was one thing to say such things behind his back, but now he dared to utter such words in front of Du Li; wasn't this seeking death?

"This kid is dead meat!" The previous cultivator felt his hair standing on end, eyes wide open, "Daring to say such words, isn't this just wishing for a longer life?"

And everyone else present had their legs trembling involuntarily, unable to imagine the terror that would ensue if Du Li lost his temper.

Indeed.

Du Li laughed angrily, "Haha, someone I can't provoke? Is there anyone my Poisonous Gu Ancestor can't provoke in Southern Heaven? Kid, for these words alone, I won't let you live past today!"

Done!

Everyone present heard these words, shaking their heads and sighing.

Another ghost was likely to be added to Du Li's hand.

Boom!

As the words fell.

"Die!"

Du Li's face turned cold, and with a deep roar, he stepped out, his entire being moving like lightning, surrounded by violent Yin Evil Qi, transforming into a clawing, untamed Yin Dragon.

In an instant, he crossed the void, fiercely slapping toward Ye Qingchen.

The Yin claws tore the air apart, producing a piercing screech. The fierce wind generated by the massive claw blew people all around, flipping them over! Such might changed the expression of everyone present.

"What a fierce claw!"

Everyone couldn't help but draw in a cold breath.

"A seasoned Earth Immortal is terrifying enough, let alone someone like Du Li?" Many shook their heads quietly; daring to challenge such strength was akin to seeking one's own death.

"Be careful!"

Chen Ying's face changed dramatically, and she cried out in alarm.

But it was already too late; the speed of this claw was simply too fast, seemingly surpassing time, directly reaching Ye Qingchen's face.

Du Li's eyes were filled with ferocity, preparing to kill this insolent young lad. People around sighed repeatedly, as if lamenting Ye Qingchen's self-inflicted misfortune.

Ye Qingchen's brows furrowed slightly; he slowly extended a finger and flicked it gently.

In the flick of a finger.

The winds and clouds changed!
