Volume 2: Wu Enters Witchcraft Chapter 111: The Helmsman of Qingzhou

  "Whose disciples are you? I was on the mountain and didn't see you there?"

  Gu Xuan looked up and down at the three people, the more he looked, the happier he became. However, when he saw Zhou Da Hu Zi, he still had some doubts: "How can this person's age be so great, actually even more mature than me..."

  Ye Xuheng's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought: "Could it be that we've encountered the real master?" He silently cursed in his heart. The reason why their group was able to act recklessly and tyrannize Qingzhou was precisely because they were using the name of the Five Poisons Sect. If someone were to expose them, they would likely face a collective attack.

  Ye Xuan steeled himself and asked: "Sir, who are you?"

  "Don't you even recognize me?"

  Gu's words made him pause for a moment, and he couldn't help but reveal a suspicious look, doubting the identities of Ye Xiang and his two companions. However, his face still wore a very happy smile as he said, "Could it be that you three are not my Five Poisons Sect's disciples?"

  He seemed to be laughing happily, but Ye Xu had a very dangerous feeling, always thinking that this person was hiding a sharp knife behind his smile, and if his answer didn't satisfy him slightly, he would swing the knife and kill!

  At such a close distance, if a powerful sorcerer like him were to suddenly kill someone, the three of them wouldn't have any chance of fighting back!

  The old goat's face turned ashen. It wasn't until now that he realized, Ye Xuan and the others weren't actually disciples of the Five Poisons Sect, but a group of impostors!

  "I thought I had found a good opportunity, but it turns out these few young masters are also swindlers. I'm doomed, doomed... those aristocratic families in Qingzhou will probably skin me alive..."

  Ye Xue's mind was racing with countless thoughts, and after a moment of solemn consideration, he finally decided to speak the truth. He told them everything about the Eagle Gorge Five Poison Caves' affair, his expression serious as he said: "We obtained that predecessor's mantle, but we don't know his name or surname. This time in Qingzhou, claiming to be a disciple of the Five Poisons Sect was also an unavoidable move."

  Gu Xuan was stunned for a long time, and suddenly two lines of turbid tears flowed from his eyes. He muttered to himself: "The primordial fetus is not yet formed, the lifespan has already been exhausted... Alas, alas... In the future when I die, I'm afraid I will also leave behind this sentence of regret... The primordial fetus is a natural moat that blocks countless people outside, and how many people can possess the qualifications of the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace..."

  He was moved for a moment, and then said seriously: "The predecessor you met should be the elder of my Five Poisons Sect. When his life was about to end, he went down the mountain to travel and seek opportunities for breakthroughs. Unexpectedly, he died in Baihu Mountain... Since you have obtained the elder's legacy, you can be considered as the registered disciples of my Five Poisons Sect. You three are all talents, are you willing to join my sect?

  Gu Yan said up to here, stretched out his hand and gently pinched a silkworm from his shoulder, looked at Ye Xu, his eyes filled with praise, and said: "Four-winged blood silkworm, not bad, not bad, it's a top-grade Gu worm, extremely rare. When you released the Gu, your face was full of righteousness, making people defenseless, deeply mastering my sect's threefold training, not joining my sect is truly a waste of talent."

  Ye Xu's face changed slightly, he was not a person who was used to waiting for death, on the one hand, he chatted with Gu Yan Zhi, on the other hand, he secretly summoned four-winged blood silkworms to attach themselves to Gu Yan Zhi's body, if Gu Yan Zhi wanted to kill them, then immediately let the blood silkworms erupt.

  Unexpectedly, the four-winged blood silkworm was still discovered by him, lightly pinched in his hand, as if he were really pinching a small insect, and it would be easy to pinch it to death!

  "Your Gu insect is still far from being refined enough, it can't withstand the true fire of a San Zhen realm witch. Once it's burned by the true fire, it will be reduced to ashes."

  Gu Yan put away the four-winged Blood Silkworm and smiled: "Now I give you three people two choices, either join my sect or die!"

  His fingers moved slightly, and Ye Xuan felt his body numb and itchy. When he looked down, he saw a group of insects crawling out of his sleeves at high speed, including ants, spiders, moths, and even a small green snake as thick as a thumb, which had somehow drilled into his clothes!

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen were no exception. One by one, the Gu worms crawled out from under their clothes, their sheer number making people's hair stand on end!

  Even the old ram was treated with favor, a green snake climbed onto his shoulder, stretched out its thin tongue and licked his goat beard, scaring the old man to death.

  Under the guise of Gu's words, the means of the insect were invisible and imperceptible, far above Ye Xu, lightly and easily controlling them. With a proud smile, he said: "If I wanted to take action and kill people, even if it was the master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, they couldn't protect you!"

  Ye Xu exchanged a glance with Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen, and sighed: "Do we have any other choice..."

  Gu's words lifted everyone's spirits, and with a wave of his hand, he put away the Gu insects. Smiling, he said: "Since that's the case, then we're all one family now. My surname is Gu, my given name is Yan Zhi. You are the successors to the Elder's legacy, so your generation must be quite high. Just call me 'Shixiong' (older brother). As for the deceased Elder, after returning to the mountain, I will report back to our Master and have him reassign a new Shifu (master) for you, absolutely not delaying your progress."

  "Join our Five Poison Sect, and you'll have many benefits. Our sect is well-known in Lingnan not because of its powerful magic or strength, but because of the unity and friendship among its members. We always fight together, like a swarm of bees! If you're bullied outside, just shout for help when you return to the mountain, and even our leader will stand up for you!"

  "Our master often said that we should be as warm as spring breeze to our fellow disciples, and as ruthless as a cold winter to our enemies..."

  ……

  Ye Xue and the other two exchanged glances, muttering in their hearts: "Is this a Taoist sect or a gang?"

  But as Gu Yan said, it made them put their minds at ease. A protective and short-tempered sect might seem overbearing to outsiders, but for its disciples, it was a trustworthy haven.

  Moreover, the overbearing actions of the Five Poisons Sect were also in line with Ye Xu and his companions' tastes.

  Now that they have become wizards, transcending the mundane world, if they still act timidly and hesitantly, wouldn't it be a disservice to their own learning?

  After chatting with Gu Yan for a while, Ye Xu couldn't help but have a good impression of this Five Poisons expert.

  Since you regard them as fellow sect members, then there's no need to hold back. With a smile, he said: "Tomorrow is the Grand Duke of Liang's birthday celebration. After the celebration, I will return to the mountain. My purpose for this trip, aside from paying respects to the Grand Duke on his birthday, is to establish a branch of our Five Poison Sect within Qingzhou's borders. I have already discussed and agreed upon this with the Grand Duke, and he has allocated Cloud Gate Mountain for us to set up our branch. When I return to the mountain, the branch cannot be left unattended; we must find someone capable of maintaining order to act as the deputy sect leader."

  At this point, Gu Yan closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

  Zhou Shiwen and Fang Chen exchanged a glance, both of them fixing their eyes on Ye Xu.

  "Am I in charge of steering?"

  Ye Xue burst out laughing and said: "Gu Shixiong, stop joking! I beat up the masters of the eight great families in Qingzhou, even disrupted Liang Wang's birthday banquet, almost flooding Qingzhou. If I were to become the leader of the Qingzhou branch, I'm afraid our base would be raided by others on the second day!"

  Gu Yan smiled and said: "It's precisely because you beat up the masters of all eight major families, so this position of captain is yours for the taking!"

  Zhou Shiwen also laughed and said: "Shaobao, this Qingzhou can only be calmed down by you, so don't decline!"

  Fang Chen's mouth also revealed a smile, saying: "Indeed. Shaobao, you guarding Qingzhou, compared to Mr. Gu, has more deterrent power."

  "Alright, it's settled then! With the backing of my Five Poisons Sect, none of the sorcerers in Qingzhou will dare to touch you. Even if it's Prince Liang, he can only obey you. I'll return to the mountain and report to our Master, then come back to take your place, allowing you to return to the mountain and cultivate in peace."

  Ye Xun reluctantly agreed, his cultivation was only at the sixth rank of Pei Yuan, still a considerable distance from the solidification period, belonging to the lowest level of Wu Shi, serving as the leader of Qingzhou branch, indeed seemed too rash.

  But Gu Yan's return would soon replace his position, which made him feel a little relieved.

  The next day, Liang Wang had a grand birthday celebration. Gu Yan took advantage of the occasion to pay his respects and at the same time spread the news about this matter.

  "A young cultivator of the Yuan period is the helmsman of a branch, isn't there anyone else in the Five Poisons Sect? What a ridiculous idea!" Just as Gu Yan's voice fell, a cold smile came from a wealthy family's master.

  Ye Xiu looked over and saw that it was the master of the Ding family, who had been brutally beaten by him earlier. At this moment, his nose was blue and swollen, and he was staring at Ye Xiu with a very unpleasant expression.

  Gu Yan no longer spoke and instead smiled as he watched the master of the Ding family find trouble with him, clearly wanting to see how Ye Xu handled this matter.
