Chapter 63 – He’s quite a tough character!
Having easily dealt with the intruders, Gu Yu didn’t stay in bed any longer. He wondered whether to throw these people out.
Although, with the efficacy of his medicinal powder, they would definitely not escape, it would all be for naught if they were rescued by their accomplices.
Perhaps he should just kill them?
“Brother, we have no grudge against you. Why treat us like this! As long as you let us go, I’ll tell you some important information!”
“Oh? Not interested.”
As Gu Yu sat in his chair, contemplating whether to kill these people with a single blow, one of them suddenly spoke.
However, Gu Yu had no interest in listening to their nonsense. He knew that these guys would make up any lie to survive.
He still needed to figure out how to do it without dirtying the room.
Conveniently, he had a few poison pills he had refined in his space. After taking them, various death reactions would occur.
He could test the power of his poisons on these people, and afterwards, he would have a better understanding of the poison scripture.
With that thought, Gu Yu immediately took a black pill from his embrace, walked quickly towards the man who had just spoken, and prepared to force the pill into his mouth.
“I know of a secret place filled with countless rare treasures. Obtaining even one item from it can ensure a lifetime of wealth and worry-free living!”
“Oh? The Tianshan Sect has such a place to hide treasures?”
“It’s true! My uncle, Tang Lai, told me personally and even took me there to see… Around my waist, there’s a gourd containing a thousand-year ice silkworm, a treasure my uncle casually took out from it!”
However, upon hearing the words “thousand-year ice silkworm,” Gu Yu’s attention was successfully piqued.
When Gu Yu really found a blue silkworm in the gourd and poured it directly onto the table, he saw a layer of ice quickly form on the tabletop.
Seeing that the color of the ice was deep blue, Gu Yu immediately confirmed… this was a superior thousand-year ice silkworm.
Although he wasn’t sure if the man was telling the truth, having this ice silkworm as a bargaining chip… it was clear he had bet correctly.
Regarding treasures like the thousand-year ice silkworm, Gu Yu wanted as many as he could get, and he didn’t think he could have too many.
It was just that even the Sect Leader of the Tianshan Sect greatly valued the thousand-year ice silkworms and was reluctant to give away more than a few.
This made Gu Yu’s thoughts turn lively upon discovering other ways to obtain thousand-year ice silkworms. He wanted to go and check it out, regardless of whether it was a trap.
Since he had come all the way to the Tianshan Sect, he naturally had to make the most of it before returning!
Moreover, even if it were a trap, it wouldn’t have any effect on him.
With that thought, Gu Yu immediately switched to a slow-acting poison and fed it directly to the man.
“Cough… You’re not keeping your promise…”
After Gu Yu forced the man to swallow the pill, the man coughed repeatedly. Before he could finish his words, Gu Yu drew his dagger and, in a few swift movements, pierced the others through and through. This scared the man so much that he dared not speak further.
This fellow, who looked kind and amiable, was a tough character!
He killed people without even a second thought.
It was as if he were killing chickens and dogs, without any psychological burden whatsoever, clearly having killed many people before.
Faced with such a person, Liu Quan dared not oppose him any further.
People like Liu Quan, who were from sects, were accustomed to fighting and killing. They shouldn’t have reacted so strongly to killing people… However, Gu Yu’s appearance was simply too deceptive.
His current actions of cold-blooded murder were also unacceptable.
Furthermore, the fact that he killed with a smile made Liu Quan break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he had thrown out his bargaining chip in advance, otherwise, he would not have escaped death.
However, at this moment, Liu Quan was thinking about what the pill he had just swallowed was!
Now that his uncle had fallen from power, he was no longer as majestic as before. He had become like a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting to hit him.
Therefore, to survive, he had to get the antidote from the man in front of him!
Otherwise, he had no other way to resolve the poison in his body… If it had been in the past, with just a word from his uncle, he could have been cured in minutes…
“Alright, the troublesome people have all been dealt with. Next, you’ll take me to the treasure’s location. If we find the treasure, I won’t do anything to you. Instead, I’ll give you the antidote and let you leave… But, if I discover you’re lying to me, believe me, I will absolutely make sure you die a terrible death.”
After Gu Yu put his dagger back, he said to Liu Quan with a smile, as if nothing had happened.
While Liu Quan nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, Gu Yu took out paper and pen and briefly described it. He didn’t say he was looking for the treasure but lied that he was looking for other hidden bad guys.
He asked Gu Mengyao not to worry too much when she returned, and that he would be back after catching the culprits.
After writing it, Gu Yu didn’t waste any time. He immediately untied Liu Quan and then had him lead the way to search for the treasure hidden in the Tianshan Sect.
Although there were shouts of fighting and killing outside, because Liu Quan was familiar with the terrain, they were not discovered.
However, while leading Gu Yu to the treasure’s location, Liu Quan conceived the idea of hijacking Gu Yu.
After all, Gu Yu didn’t seem to know martial arts; he was only skilled in poison techniques.
As long as he took advantage of Gu Yu’s inattention…
Thinking this, Liu Quan stealthily glanced at Gu Yu, wondering when would be a good time to make his move.
However, before Liu Quan could implement his plan, his resolve was completely shattered when several snow wolves blocked their path.
Gu Yu was holding a red dagger. After stabbing it into a wolf’s body, the wolf’s body immediately shriveled up, and then the wolf’s body broke into pieces on its own.
This made Liu Quan tremble. He thought this man was too terrifying!
No, it wasn’t terrifying, it was sinister!
Even more sinister than his uncle, who practiced evil arts!
When had the Tianshan Sect invited such a guest? Or perhaps Sect Leader Li Ning’an already knew his uncle intended to betray them, so she had invited help in advance to catch them all in one fell swoop?
Seeing Gu Yu make his move, Liu Quan’s mind raced with many thoughts.
However, the more he thought, the more wary he became of Gu Yu.
After that, he didn’t dare to play any more tricks and only wanted to lead Gu Yu to the treasure’s location so that Gu Yu would spare his life!
Thinking about the treasure’s location made Liu Quan anxious again. After all, he had only seen it from afar once and had never gotten close to it…
His uncle said that the place was very dangerous.
Even with his uncle’s powerful martial arts, he only managed to obtain a small portion of the items. More and better items were hidden in the innermost part.
However, with countless mechanisms, he could only look.
If the man beside him intended to go in to find the treasure later, he had to get the antidote in advance, lest the man die inside and he, having been poisoned, would be buried with him!
“My lord, this is it! The Tianshan Sect’s secret cave for storing treasures!”
