Chapter 245 Possessing the Heavenly Gu Body

Jiang Mo withdrew the golden energy around him and walked out of the training ground.

Feng Baobao was already waiting there. When she saw Jiang Mo approaching, she nodded slightly in greeting.

The two went to the main hall together, where Jin Qiankun and several elders from Tongtianling were already waiting.

As soon as Jiang Mo entered the main hall, he felt several scrutinizing gazes.

Clearly, these elders still had doubts about his and Feng Baobao's identities.

"Elders, this is Jiang Mo, the successor of the Gu God."

Jin Qiankun introduced, "And this is Feng Baobao, who possesses the Heavenly Gu Body."

"Is there any evidence to prove that he is the successor of the Gu God?" a serious-looking old man asked.

Jiang Mo remained unfazed, merely smiling faintly: "What kind of evidence does the elder desire?"

The old man snorted coldly: "As far as I know, the successor of the Gu God should have the ability to control all poisons and be familiar with the secrets of Gu magic."

"Could you demonstrate something?"

“Okay.” Jiang Mo nodded.

He casually took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out three jet-black spiders, each about the size of a fingernail, and placed them on the ground.

"This is a Soul-Devouring Spider. Its venom is extremely potent; most people would die from poisoning upon contact," Jiang Mo explained. "Now, elders, please take a close look."

With a gentle tap, Jiang Mo sent golden energy flowing into the spider's body.

The next moment, the three Soul-Eating Spiders began to glow, and their originally black bodies gradually turned golden.

Then, the three spiders began to crawl along a specific path.

Eventually, a complex rune formed on the ground, identical to the runes surrounding the crystal coffin.

Then Jiang Mo suddenly raised his hand, and the three spiders instantly turned into golden powder and disappeared into the air.

"This..." The stern old man's expression changed. "Golden Gu Transformation Talisman, this is indeed a Gu Mystic Technique!"

“Not only that,”

Another elder suddenly stood up, his face filled with shock. "The Qi flow he just used is extremely similar to the soul of the Gu God!"

Jin Qiankun smiled slightly: "Do any of you elders have any further questions?"

The elders looked at each other, and finally shook their heads.

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's discuss the next steps."

Jin Qiankun said, "According to our understanding, the six Gu God relics of the Helian family are currently under the company's control."

"However, the whereabouts of the seventh relic are still uncertain."

"We need to find it before we can perform the sealing ritual."

Jiang Mo pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a guess about the seventh relic."

All eyes immediately turned to Jiang Mo.

"The Black Gu of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons once mentioned it."

His ancestors kept a token of the Gu God.

Jiang Mo explained, "It's said to be a jade pendant left behind when the God of Gu fell, capable of controlling the power of the source of all poisons."

"This is very likely the seventh relic."

Feng Baobao nodded: "When I was in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, I did see Hei Gu wearing a strange jade pendant."

"But at the time, we didn't know its origin."

Jin Qiankun's eyes lit up: "If that's really the case, then we have a chance to collect all seven relics!"

"But would the Black Gu of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons hand over this token so easily?" an elder asked.

Jiang Mo smiled faintly: "He will."

"Because he also doesn't want to see the tyrannical return of the Gu God."

"Besides, with Feng Baobao around, he won't refuse our request."

Feng Baobao nodded firmly.

“Then it’s decided,” Jin Qiankun said, “we will split into two groups.”

"Jiang Mo and Feng Baobao went to the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons and obtained the seventh relic;"

"Members from Tongtianling have been sent to the company to discuss borrowing the other six relics."

"Once we have collected all seven relics, we can proceed with the sealing ceremony."

Just as the discussion was about to end.

A disciple rushed into the hall: "Sect Leader! Something terrible has happened!"

"Our scouts have sent urgent intelligence: the remnants of the Helian family have amassed a large force, seemingly aware of our plans, and are heading towards Tongtian Ridge!"

"What?!" Jin Qiankun's expression changed. "How did they know our plan?"

Jiang Mo frowned slightly: "It seems there's a mole among us who leaked the information to the Helian family."

Jin Qiankun's face was grim: "No matter what, we must stop them!"

"Jiang Mo, our plan may have to change. Our top priority right now is to defend Tongtian Ridge and protect the seal of the Gu God."

Jiang Mo nodded in understanding: "The Helian family's arrival is timely; I've been wanting to meet them for a long time."

The entire Tongtianling area immediately sprang into action, with all passes being reinforced with enhanced defenses.

Some normally hidden formations were also activated.

Jin Qiankun gathered the most elite disciples of Tongtianling and formed a defensive team of fifty men, personally overseeing the central command.

"Jiang Mo, with your abilities, are you able to detect the Helian family's movements in advance?" Jin Qiankun asked.

Jiang Mo nodded, then took out three small, golden flying insects: "These are the Golden-Eyed Gu I cultivated; they can scout enemy positions from a hundred miles away."

As he spoke, he gently blew, and the three golden flying insects instantly disappeared into the air.

Before long, the Golden-Eyed Gu returned and hovered in front of Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo closed his eyes for a moment, seemingly receiving information transmitted back by the Golden-Eyed Gu.

"The Helian family has arrived at the foot of the mountain, numbering about two hundred people, and they are climbing upwards in three groups."

Jiang Mo opened his eyes and said, "The one leading the group is an old man in a red robe."

"His aura is quite extraordinary; he must be an elder of the Helian family."

“Helian Tianyue!” Jin Qiankun’s expression was solemn.

"He is the third elder of the Helian family, and his skill in Gu magic is extremely high."

"He was particularly skilled at controlling highly poisonous insects, and once single-handedly wiped out the entire Immortal Mountain Village, leaving nearly a thousand people without a single survivor."

"This person is ruthless and unscrupulous, the most dangerous member of the Helian family."

Jiang Mo's expression remained unchanged: "Even the most skilled Gu Master is nothing more than a amateur showing off their limited skills before the successor of the Gu God."

He said it very calmly, yet it exuded an unshakable confidence.

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Tongtianling present involuntarily straightened their backs, their morale greatly boosted.

"Pass on my orders: the first team guards the east route, the second team guards the west route, and the third team guards the central route."

Jin Qiankun decisively ordered, "Remember, under no circumstances are you allowed to let anyone from the Helian family get near the ancient well!"

Just then, a series of eerie insect chirps came from the foot of the mountain, and then the entire sky above Tongtian Ridge was shrouded in dark clouds.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that what appeared to be a dark cloud was actually a cloud of swarms of poisonous insects!

"Helian Tianyue's Cloud of Ten Thousand Poisonous Insects!"

Jin Qiankun's expression changed drastically. "Everyone, be careful! These insects are extremely poisonous. Do not get bitten!"

The disciples of Tongtianling immediately took out various protective magical artifacts and stood ready for battle.

Jiang Mo looked at the insect cloud in the sky, a cold glint in his eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, a golden light appearing in his palm: "Since it's a Gu worm, then I'll deal with it."
