Chapter 12: Why!
Just as the resentful worm was crawling, Zhou Yi spoke as if he knew the whole story.
As a result, Mengyao Gu split the resentful worm with a single sword strike.
It was inevitable that the surrounding people would have doubts in their hearts.
However, to prove his words, Zhou Yi drew his long sword from its sheath and directly chopped at half of the resentful worm’s corpse.
Instantly, sparks flew.
This showed that the body of the resentful worm was extremely hard, even harder than ordinary metal!
“See, what’s written in the book is very accurate. It’s just that Mengyao Gu’s long sword is very powerful… the shell of this resentful worm can be made into a weapon, but because of the surrounding yin energy, the user will definitely lose their mind and turn into a bloodthirsty monster.”
After using his long sword to chop the insect corpse, Zhou Yi confirmed that his words were correct.
This relieved him greatly, thinking that it would be truly embarrassing if he lost face in front of everyone…
Fortunately, it was Mengyao Gu who was too powerful, not that he had said the wrong thing.
“Although no one will use the shell of the resentful worm to make weapons, just in case, let’s take the resentful worm’s corpse and those insect eggs with us, and deal with them thoroughly later!”
Upon hearing Zhou Yi’s words, Mengyao Gu pondered for a moment, then immediately issued an order.
After Mengyao Gu’s sword strike at the Gu worm, the spirits of the Imperial Guards present returned, and were even more vigorous than before.
Obviously, seeing that Mengyao Gu could easily kill powerful Gu worms, they all believed that this trip to the Southern Border was not a pure suicide mission.
With Mengyao Gu leading them, they would definitely return to the capital safely.
At the same time, they had to complete the mission assigned by the Empress and would not return empty-handed!
With these thoughts in mind, the Imperial Guards immediately got busy, storing the resentful worm in a cloth bag and then placing the round insect eggs in another cloth bag.
While the Imperial Guards were carrying the resentful worm, Mengyao Gu took the remaining people back.
“Mengyao, I think I know why you were able to kill the resentful worm with a single sword strike.”
On the way, Gu Yu pondered the events of the past moment and came to a conclusion after a short while.
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted Zhou Yi’s attention.
He couldn’t help but take a few steps towards Gu Yu, wanting to hear the reason why Mengyao Gu was able to kill the resentful worm.
Although Zhou Yi learned about the power of the forbidden Gu worm from books, it did not prevent him from knowing how formidable the resentful worm was!
Now, to be so easily resolved by Mengyao Gu was truly unexpected.
When Gu Yu saw Zhou Yi approaching, he initially didn’t want to continue, but considering that Zhou Yi had said a lot about resentful worms, if he didn’t explain the reason why Mengyao Gu killed the Gu worm, Zhou Yi might have a grudge in his heart.
If they encountered other Gu worms on the later journey, Zhou Yi might not explain in detail anymore.
The other Gege, who knew nothing, was clearly completely unreliable.
Therefore, with this thought in mind, Gu Yu no longer hid anything from Zhou Yi.
“Your sword has an extraordinary origin, it was forged from Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, and it even gave birth to spirits… With such a grand origin, a mere small Gu worm is naturally no match for this sword.”
“What! Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice!!!”
When Gu Yu spoke out the answer he had come up with, Zhou Yi, who was eavesdropping nearby, almost jumped up on the spot when he heard the words “Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice”.
His eyes, full of shock, were enough to prove his excitement at the moment.
Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice, a treasure that only appeared in legends, had actually been obtained by Gu Yu!
Moreover, it had been forged into a long sword…
Not to mention that the spirits born from the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice were absolute treasures among treasures.
With his mind racing, Zhou Yi was truly envious and jealous at this moment.
The Gu family’s luck was simply too good!
This treasure that everyone longed for had actually appeared in Mengyao Gu’s hands.
“Zhou Yi, why are you so excited, it’s just a piece of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice!”
When Gu Yu saw Zhou Yi’s excited expression, his eyebrows shot up, and he then asked knowingly.
Speaking of the Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice as if it were cabbage from the market, such a show-off attitude immediately made Gu Qingheng, who was standing beside him, roll his eyes.
Thinking that his brother-in-law was showing off!
Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice sounded like a precious treasure, how could it be like cabbage!
Just as Gu Qingheng was thinking this, Zhou Yi was also speechless, thinking that Gu Yu was truly wasting a divine object!
His gaze fell on Mengyao Gu’s long sword, and a sudden greed arose in Zhou Yi’s heart, making him want to snatch this long sword made of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice and claim it as his own!
Such a powerful weapon was the dream of every swordsman.
Mengyao Gu had effortlessly fulfilled her dream.
Why!
With these thoughts, Zhou Yi’s eyes involuntarily turned red, and his breathing became rapid.
He exerted force with his arms, and his muscles bulged.
As if he was about to make a move in the next second!
However, the next moment, when he met Mengyao Gu’s cold gaze, Zhou Yi quickly sobered up.
Although the long sword made of Ten Thousand Year Mysterious Ice could deal with Gu worms, without sufficient strength, it would not be able to split the resentful worm cleanly.
This showed that Mengyao Gu’s own martial arts were also not low.
Moreover, there were quite a few Imperial Guards around. If they were to attack together, it would be very bad.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi quickly calmed himself down and did not say anything, just stood quietly by the side.
When Mengyao Gu saw that Zhou Yi did not suddenly try to snatch the sword, she did not directly confront him.
They still needed Zhou Yi’s help on the land of the Southern Border, so she couldn’t fall out with him.
However, if Zhou Yi really wanted to snatch it, she wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless.
Thus, an invisible smoke of gunpowder quickly ended.
But who knew when it would reignite…
As the Imperial Guards advanced again, Gu Yu and the others returned to the carriage.
Gege, after several bouts of vomiting, could no longer bear it and directly clamored to get off and ride horses, not wanting to share the carriage with Gu Yu anymore, for fear of seeing those terrifying corpses again.
It was simply torture!
“Brother-in-law, did Zhou Yi want to snatch the sword just now?”
In the carriage, Gu Qingheng’s voice sounded, breaking the silence.
Gu Qingheng was always wary of Zhou Yi in the green robe.
Based on his previous experiences in the Gu Residence, Zhou Yi, even if he wasn’t a wicked villain, was not a righteous gentleman.
“Yes, didn’t you see it with your own eyes, why are you asking me?”
In response to Gu Qingheng’s question, Gu Yu leaned against the carriage and replied, directly pointing out his brother-in-law’s pretense of asking what was obvious.
However, he had really underestimated the vengeful nature of children!
His brother-in-law seemed to hold grudges.
“I saw it, I’m just reminding you! If Zhou Yi is related to these things, then…”
“You know what, Zhou Yi is really related to the resentful worm.”
“!!!”
Before Gu Qingheng could finish his sentence, Gu Yu directly interrupted him, which made Gu Qingheng’s mouth open wide upon hearing it.
Is he really related to Zhou Yi???
