Chapter 216: Green Copper Relic Gu


    Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral


    The once lively Qing Mao mountain had turned into a world of ice and snow. Such a change had long attracted the attention and investigations of nearby forces. In these few months, news of Qing Mao mountain being destroyed had gradually spread far.


    "I don’t dare to recall, every time I think of it, it feels so painful." Fang Yuan sat down, his face full of grief.


    "Servants, bring the wine." Seeing Fang Yuan unwilling to speak, Bai n leader did not pursue the matter, but ordered her servants to bring two vats of wine.


    Bai Ning Bing was indifferent, she never drank wine, only water.


    Fang Yuan opened the seal immediately, gulping and drinking a mouthful as his tears fell once again.


    Bai n leader was stunned: "Junior, why are you crying again?"


    "Your n’s wine is intoxicating, but it makes me recall our green bamboo wine and of those days when I drank on Qing Mao mountain." Fang Yuan wiped his tears as he said.


    The n elders’ sighs became even louder, and many started consoling Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan’s encounter caused them to feel a sense of resonance. After all, Bai n’s spirit spring was starting to dry out, and if they couldn’t find a new spirit spring, Gu Yue n’s sorry state would be their Bai n’s future.


    Bai n leader consoled him once more, only then did Fang Yuan stop crying.


    "Who would not feel pain when their home is destroyed? I can understand junior’s feelings. But as long as people remain, there is hope. Junior, don’t grieve. I believe that in a few days, you will be reunited with your nsmen." Bai Mo Xing probed.


    Fang Yuan acted as if he was unaware, wiping his tears and answering casually: "Yeah, it should be in a few days."


    Hearing this reply, Bai Mo Xing and Bai n leader nced at each other.


    After the banquet, Bai n leader called Bai Mo Xing and entered a secret discussion.


    "n leader, the situation is bad. Gu Yue vige was destroyed, why did these remaining peoplee to Bai Gu mountain? It is likely that they want to snatch this territory, should we strike first instead?" Bai Mo Xing was worried.


    "Hehehe." Bai n’s female leaderughed lightly instead.


    Bai Mo Xing was bewildered: "Why is n leaderughing?"


    The female n leader squinted and exined: "Don’t be rash Elder Mo Xing, this situation has boon and bane. As long as we operate this well, we can save much effort."


    Bai Mo Xing started to ponder the n leader’s words deeply.


    That’s right!


    Bai n’s spirit spring was running dry after so many years of usage. They needed to find a new spirit spring as soon as possible, and this time they were searching for a suitable spring on Bai Gu mountain under the cover of hunting.


    Bai n’s main group had just arrived and could not find anything yet. But if Gu Yue n’s remnants wereing to Bai Gu mountain, they had to know some intel.


    It could even be deduced that Gu Yue n definitely held information on that spirit spring.


    Bai n leader saw Bai Mo Xing’s expression change and continued: "Looks like you got it. Actually, anyrge mountain is a gathering of primeval essence, and thus a spirit spring will be there. But to find the spirit spring’s specific location, it is not easy and requires a lot of manpower and resources."


    "There are Fang, Liao and Fan n around our Bai n, they are all strong ns with equal power. If the matter about our Bai n’s spirit spring running dry gets out, they will take advantage of the situation and attack our weakness, thus we decided earlier that we have to secretly find the spirit spring’s location under the guise of a huntingpetition. But by doing this, we are greatly restricted and have to expend even greater manpower and resources in searching for the spirit spring."


    Bai n leader was full of worries, but could not express her helplessness.


    Bai Mo Xing continued: "Thus, n leader wants to obtain information about the spirit spring from Gu Yue n?"


    "That’s right." Bai n leader nodded, her eyes shining brightly: "Gu Yue n’s leader and elders won’t be easy to deal with, but with those two youngsters in our control? This is a godsend opportunity!"


    Bai Mo Xing frowned: "But, I see that those two are not stupid. Thatss is obviously one of those iron-willed stubborn type, while that youngd, although weak, was unfazed in dangerous situations, being calm at all encounters. The first time we met, even when he was surrounded by us, he did not show a hint of panic. It will not be easy if we want them to divulge information."


    Bai n leader chuckled: "If he did not have suchposure, how would he be a n’s young master? These two young masters are very outstanding, but if they weren’t, I would be doubting their identities."


    Bai Mo Xing continued: "Thus, you have to think twice n leader. If we interrogate them forcefully, they might not submit to us. With the traces they left behind, Gu Yue n will be here soon. These are the type of desperate people with nothing to lose, except their lives."


    Bai n leader waved her hand: "That is not a worry, n elder, I have a n."


    "Oh? This old one shall listen."


    Bai n leader said it softly while Bai Mo Xing’s old eyes kept on getting brighter.


    After Bai n leader finished, Bai Mo Xing could not help but praise: "This is a good n! I saw that Gu Yue Fang Zheng is very attached to his n, he even cried twice for his n in the banquet. He is after all a youngster, n leader, this n that you came up with is like cing honey in front of a young bear or cing a carrot before a young rabbit. There will be no issues getting him hooked."


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    Fang Yuan opened a corner of the tent’s cover.


    It was night time already, but Bai n’s temporary camp was well lit.


    The tents were ced perfectly in order, with iron racks and torches at every certain distance, and patrolling gu master groups all night round.


    "Young master Fang Zheng, what is the matter?" Fang Yuan had just opened the cover, and the two guards at the door immediately walked over.


    Fang Yuan burped out some wine: "I drank a lot of wine at the banquet, is there anywhere I can relieve myself?"


    "Young master, right this way. You are our esteemed guest, the n leader has arranged a special spot for you, no further than thirty steps away." One of the guards immediately said.


    "Give me a direction, I do not like anyone near me when i pee." Fang Yuan rejected.


    "I do not dare to disobey young master, the woodenvatory is right there." The guard pointed towards it, bowed and left.


    Fang Yuan got to the woodenvatory, and after peeing, he pretended to be drowsy and walked in an opposite direction. He was not even twenty steps out when a few patrolling Gu Masters came over: "Esteemed guest, that is the wrong direction, your tent is over there."


    "Is that so? I remembered it was there." Fang Yuan burped.


    "Esteemed guest, this way please." Bai n gu masters smiled hypocritically, with a forceful tone.


    Fang Yuan was brought back to the tent again.


    In the tent, the lights were turned on.


    There were two beds on eastern and western side in the tent. Bai Ning Bing was sitting on her bed and cultivating, using primeval essence to nurture her aperture.


    Hearing Fang Yuan enter, she opened her eyes, inquiring with her gaze.


    Fang Yuan nced at her, before falling down on the bed: "Ning Bing, sleep early. You were exhausted these few days. Don’t worry, we will join up with our nsmen in few days."


    His words slurred at the end, and eventually he closed his eyes, snoring, evidently falling asleep.


    Bai Ning Bing’s pupils shrunk. She knew Fang Yuan was acting, purposely saying that as a precaution against any surveince type Gu worms. He had gone out earlier to pee, but returned so early which meant the area was tightly secured and it was impossible for them to escape quietly in dark.


    She couldn’t help but be worried. Although she was at rank three peak stage, her Gu worms were not optimal, causing her battle strength to be insufficient.


    While in this camp, Bai n leader was at rank four, and there are five to six n elders, and a lot of rank two Gu masters.


    " To be meat on somebody’s chopping board. " That was the current situation. Although Bai n was a righteous faction, people die for fortune and birds die for food, once the benefits exceeded the risk, they would definitelymit murder in secret.


    Bai Ning Bing knew the Gu worms in Fang Yuan’s possession were all extremely rare. Heavenly essence treasure lotus, blood skull Gu, once exposed, would definitely attract the greed of Bai n Gu Masters.


    The reason they did not act yet was because Fang Yuan used the threat of the non existent Gu Yue nsmen to temporarily lie to them.


    A few dayster, when they do not see Gu Yue nsmen arrive, they would be suspicious. By then, Fang Yuan and her would be at a tight spot.


    "How do I get out of this predicament?" Bai Ning Bing frowned, staring at Fang Yuan.


    Fang Yuan had already turned around, his back facing her, and he seemed to have really slept from the sound of his rxed breathing.


    "You sure take it easy!" Bai Ning Bing snorted, feeling anxious and helpless in her heart.


    --------------------------------------------------------------


    The next day. It was a bright sunny day.


    There were three loud drum beats which signified the Bai n leader summoning the nsmen.


    "Our Bai n annual huntingpetition starts from today and will continue for the next seven days, it is time for you to disy your strength. ording to our rules, those who get a decent ranking will be heavily rewarded! Next, feel free to disy all your bravery and strength."


    Bai n leader waved her hand, and the vige gates opened. The Gu Masters were eager to start thepetition, rushing out impatiently.


    Not longter, they entered the forest from their respective positions, vanishing into the wilderness.


    The crowded camp had be more spacious and empty.


    "Junior Fang Zheng, did you sleep wellst night?" Bai n leader turned around, asking Fang Yuan with a smile.


    Fang Yuan cupped his fist: "Thank you n leader for the hospitality. Last night I fell asleep immediately after lying down, and it was morning already when I woke up."


    "Hahaha." Bai n leader smiled, patting Fang Yuan’s shoulders, giving off a kind and affectionate feeling: "Does junior want to enter our n’s huntingpetition? Let us see the valor of a Gu Yue nsman!"


    Fang Yuan showed a difficult expression, rejecting: "I am ashamed! Junior was heavily injured not too long ago, and my cultivation fell from rank three. Thankfully I was saved by the n, but now I only have rank one middle stage cultivation."


    Even without Fang Yuan mentioning it, his rank one aura was clear to the eyes.


    "No worries junior. As our n’s esteemed guest, you will definitely be well treated. How about this, as long as junior can hunt an adult ck bear, this green copper relic Gu will be your reward." Bai n leader pped her hand, and a Gu Master beside her opened his palm, as a finger-sized round ball shaped Gu emerged.


    Fang Yuanughed coldly in his heart, but showed an earnest expression: "Then this junior shall take up the invitation!"
