Xu Chuan returned to the warship with the worm in his hand, wanting to study what this thing was.
Suddenly.
Gu Zhen, standing beside him, saw the worm in Xu Chuan’s hand and exclaimed in surprise.
“Isn’t this a Gu worm from the Myriad Worm Valley?”
“Your Highness, where did you get this thing?”
Hearing this, Xu Chuan raised an eyebrow and asked Gu Zhen, “Elder Gu, you recognize this thing?”
What a coincidence, he didn’t expect Elder Gu Zhen to recognize it.
This saved him the trouble of studying it himself!
“Your Highness, the worm in your hand is definitely a Gu worm from the Myriad Worm Valley!”
“I can’t possibly mistake the unique aura emanating from this worm!”
Elder Gu Zhen said with certainty.
“Gu worm?”
This touched upon Xu Chuan’s blind spot in knowledge.
He had no research in this area.
Moreover, he disdained using such a seemingly unorthodox method to fight!
“That’s right!”
“Judging by its appearance, it should be a parasitic Gu!”
“This type of Gu worm is very powerful. Once one is parasitized by it, they will be controlled and unable to break free until death!”
“It can parasitize not only demonic beasts but also humans!”
“It is a very vicious Gu worm!”
Elder Gu explained to Xu Chuan.
“If that’s the case, then the Void Beast just now was controlled by this parasitic Gu?”
“The person controlling it from behind can only be someone from the Myriad Worm Valley!”
Gu Zhen looked enlightened.
This also explained why the Void Beast suddenly attacked them.
“However, my Taiyi Holy Land has no dealings with the Myriad Worm Valley?”
“Why would they control a Void Beast to attack us?”
“This is clearly an attempt to kill us!”
Gu Zhen muttered to himself, full of doubts and unable to understand why.
Meanwhile, Xu Chuan, standing beside him, asked, “What kind of force is this Myriad Worm Valley?”
In fact, when he first saw the Gu worm, Xu Chuan had a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
And after Gu Zhen’s explanation, he was even more certain that he had seen this parasitic Gu somewhere.
He just lacked a small spark to recall it.
So he asked what kind of force the Myriad Worm Valley was.
He wanted to use this to completely recall the memories in his mind.
“Your Highness, the Myriad Worm Valley was once one of the top forces in the Central Region, possessing a vast number of cultivators and dominating that region!”
“Even more terrifying is that the Myriad Worm Valley cultivates a large number of Gu worms for people to command, killing without a trace!”
“Few people are willing to provoke these Myriad Worm Valley cultivators who possess Gu worms.”
“For a time, the Myriad Worm Valley was at its peak in the Central Region, acting atrociously!”
“However, its controllers were dissatisfied with the status quo and made a deal with the demon race, wanting to cultivate even more powerful Gu worms and control the entire Xuanyuan.”
“In the end, they were discovered and were besieged by the major forces of the Central Region!”
“But even so, the Myriad Worm Valley merely fell out of the ranks of top forces; its foundation was not severely damaged.”
“However, since then, the people of Myriad Worm Valley have rarely appeared in Xuanyuan and have been very low-key, so many people have only heard of this force and have never seen what cultivators and Gu worms from the Myriad Worm Valley look like!”
Gu Zhen revealed everything he knew to enlighten Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan’s expression became clear after listening.
He had already remembered where he had seen this thing.
Previously, when he annihilated the Beast God Clan, he had read the soul fragments of Wang Hao, and there was a memory about this thing.
It was just that the memory was too chaotic at the time, and he hadn’t paid much attention to it.
In his memory, the aura emanating from the Grand Elder of the Tianyan Sect when he came to the Beast God Clan to discuss ambushing him was very similar to the Gu worm in Xu Chuan’s hand right now!
It seemed that the Grand Elder of the Tianyan Sect had already been parasitized by the parasitic Gu at that time!
Moreover, that Grand Elder had once taken out a scroll, and the aura of the figure within it was exactly the same as this parasitic Gu!
He figured that the person who wanted to deal with him was a cultivator from the Myriad Worm Valley.
As for when he had offended someone from the Myriad Worm Valley?
Xu Chuan pondered for a long time and finally arrived at an answer.
The only cultivator from the Central Region he had killed was another Holy Son of the Tianyan Sect, Xiao Chen!
His fate script had mentioned coming from a major force in the Central Region, and it seemed that this force referred to the Myriad Worm Valley!
It was just that Xu Chuan hadn’t expected them to give up yet. They should have known about his annihilation of the Beast God Clan.
Now they were making trouble in the void and trying to kill him!
They were simply courting death!
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan tightened his grip with two fingers. The Gu worm let out a scream and was directly crushed into a pile of ashes by Xu Chuan.
It had no ability to resist.
And the moment this Gu worm was crushed, far away in the Central Region, deep within a sparsely populated mountain forest, in a valley shrouded in dense fog, a middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly snapped open.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Immediately afterward, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood, his entire aura instantly weakening.
“Impossible!”
“How could it have failed?”
The middle-aged man murmured, unable to believe what had happened.
The most powerful Void Beast he controlled had failed!
Moreover, his life Gu worm was dead!
This was a devastating blow to him, and he simply couldn’t accept it!
Every cultivator of the Myriad Worm Valley had a life Gu, which was closely related to their martial arts cultivation.
If the life Gu died, it would be equivalent to the cultivator’s martial arts path being severed, and they would no longer be able to break through to higher realms!
Furthermore, their foundation would be severely damaged, and their cultivation realm would decline as a result.
“Xu Chuan, I will never let you go!”
He let out a low growl and then disappeared from the spot.
He had to report this matter to his superiors, let stronger individuals take action, kill Xu Chuan, and avenge him!
…
“Let’s continue on our way!”
Xu Chuan scattered the ashes of the Gu worm in his hand and then gave the order.
If they delayed any longer, they would miss their appointment!
As for the Myriad Worm Valley, they had already been added to Xu Chuan’s kill list!
After this Dao Discussion Assembly, he would start to settle accounts with these forces one by one!
Make them pay the price for their actions!
Anyone, any force, who provoked him deserved to die!
A fleeting killing intent made everyone on the warship shiver involuntarily.
Their gazes towards Xu Chuan were filled with awe and reverence.
They were genuinely happy to have such a powerful Holy Son!
And they were very excited to become Xu Chuan’s followers.
“Full speed ahead, target the Central Region!”
Hearing Xu Chuan’s order, Gu Zhen roared again.
The warship moved in response, heading towards the Central Region.
After killing a powerful Void Beast, there was no longer any unsuspecting entity who dared to obstruct the Taiyi Holy Land’s warship for the rest of the journey!
