Chapter 1067 Gu Removal

A Gu duel would be a Gu Master using their own life Gu to duel with another person’s life Gu, Fan Tianli said: “This sounds simple, but to actually do it, no one will willingly do it recklessly. The life Gu is the life of the Gu Master, ever since the moment they were born, the life Gu is tied to their pulse. Once something bad happens to the life Gu, the Gu Master will definitely die, and it is an immediate death.” He looked towards the red scorpion on his palm: “It’s been so many years, and there has been no one who was worthy enough to make This Monarch take out my life Gu, that person’s death would be considered a worthy one.”

Everyone heard him speak and felt their hair stand on end, especially in the middle of the night, seeing that red scorpion, the atmosphere was very eerie.

Xuan Tiange suddenly interrupted, asking: “Using your life Gu to fight, would you…… be injured by the other party? Since it’s a battle, then there will definitely be loss and victory. It’s fine if you win, but if you lose, would you……”

“I won’t.” Fan Tianli shook his head, “I am the Gu Shu ruler, the final victor of the battle of Gu Shu’s throne, this shows that, my Gu insect, is the most powerful, my Gu techniques are also the most advanced. I can say with certainty, that amongst all the Gu Masters in Gu Shu, including the high priests, no one’s Gu techniques will be stronger than mine.” After saying that, he looked at Xuan Tiange again, suddenly asking: “Your Highness the Princess is worried about This Monarch? I am touched.”

“I am not.” Xuan Tiange said calmly, “I was just worried that if something happened to you and the other party discovers it, Uncle Emperor would be in even more danger.”

Fan Tianli shook his head with a troubled smile and did not ask any further, he only told everyone present: “Since Princess Yu personally heard that the person implanted a death heart Gu on Da Shun’s Emperor, then only this method can be used. For a death heart Gu, only using a duel with life Gu, fighting until the other party’s life Gu dies first, then the Gu can be removed without affecting the Emperor’s life. If not, there is no other way of removal.”

He explained it in a rather profound manner, but Xuan Tianhua was able to grasp its principal, he said: “Monarch’s meaning is if the Gu is to be removed, there is a need to have the Gu bug and Gu cultivator die. With this, in the instant between the Gu bug’s death and Gu’s cultivator’s death, command the person implanted by the Gu to wake up. But if we use other methods, for example, killing the Gu cultivator and have him die together with the Gu bug, then the person implanted with Gu will also die as well, right?”

Fan Tianli nodded, “Seventh Prince is correct. The secret of removing a death heart Gu is for the Gu bug to die first.” As he spoke, he looked at the red scorpion in his hand, then his eyes lit up, “The time has come!”

In the blink of an eye, once he said that sentence, then small red scorpion crouching in his hand immediately jumped up and landed on the table opposite, with the swing of its scorpion tail, it assumed a battle-ready pose. Other than that, at the tail of that vivid red scorpion, a few drops of liquid dripped out, it was dark red and the smell of blood gradually wafted out.

Fan Tianli said some sentences to the scorpion using a language unique to Gu clans, and seeing the scorpion tail sway, it immediately adjusted its direction, then raised its tail in that direction, the stinger of its tail pointed in front, and its body moving up and down, it looked very fierce.

“That is the direction of the imperial palace.” Xuan Tianming, who had not said anything so far, opened his mouth and spoke softly: “The direction the scorpion’s tail is pointing, is the imperial palace.”

At this moment, deep inside the imperial palace, Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was sleeping in Zhao He Hall as usual, tangled gently with the Emperor. And the Gu Master staying in her Cun Shan Palace was soaking in that water pool. The water in the pool was a concentrated blue colour, as if a dye was added, it could not be easily determined, but he was undergoing Gu training.

The death heart Gu implanted on the Emperor needed to be reinforced every few days to make it easy to control the old Emperor anytime. He had used Gu for so many years and did not dare to boast in Gu Shu, but within Da Shun’s borders, no one can match him, and now he had implanted the Gu into the imperial palace and even had firm control over the most powerful person in the world, this made him very proud.

It was just a little different tonight, he did not know if it was due to his sensitivity as a Gu clan member, he kept having the feeling that something major was going to happen, and this major issue was something he could not resolve. However, in Da Shun’s imperial palace, even the old Emperor was being controlled by him, was there anything he could not solve?

As he was deep in thought, his heart suddenly clenched, and the life Gu that was always circulating in his body suddenly squirmed and flipped around inside his body, such that he could not feel at peace.

“Damn bastard!” He clenched his teeth and scolded, then opening his mouth, he heaved in pain, like he was going to throw up, then a thin snake about half an arm in length came out from his mouth.

The snake was still restless after coming out, and even after he talked for a while, there was no obvious signs of recovery. At this point, he had to view this as a serious matter and got a shock at the same time.

A life Gu would not become restless for no reason, once this kind of situation happened, this meant the Gu was being threatened or even harmed, indicating that a danger was descending on this Gu bug and it was unable to handle it, so it started feeling fear.

This Gu Master finally realised the seriousness of the situation, and stood up in the water while completely naked, holding the small snake in the middle of his two palms, staring at it. But that snake was already showing a battle-ready state, its long tongue sticking out, triangular head raised high and even adjusting itself to face a certain direction, then it started to squirm vigorously in that direction, continuously spitting poison from its mouth.

Unfortunately, even if it worked so hard, this small snake’s fear did not weaken, even growing more agitated. This was his life Gu, his life was linked to this small snake, he could feel all the emotions of this small snake. Therefore, he also knew, at this moment, this snake was backing up, and it was retreating very anxiously. It even turned its head and looked towards him with pleading eyes, asking him to escape with it and also asking him to give assistance.

The Gu Master did not hesitate, biting the tip of his tongue, spitting out blood from the tip of his tongue onto the head of that snake. The small snake seemed to have received power, and its slightly listless appearance disappeared as it recovered quickly, then continued to attack in that direction.

The attack looked very strange, it was like fighting with air, but as a Gu master, he knew, once the life Gu showed this situation, that meant someone was in that direction using their own life Gu to duel with him. That sort of method of Gu duelling was definitely considered putting the Gu Master’s life on the line, he was a little afraid, not understanding which person would gamble with his life, how much hatred did this person have towards him? He had came to Da Shun with his father since young, though he did return to Gu Shu to live for a while, but the time he spent living in Da Shun was comparable to the time he spent in Gu Shu, he was sure that no Gu Master would bear such a huge grudge against him that they would fight him with their life Gu, but if there is none, then this situation right now…… not good! He got a shock, he suddenly realised, someone wanted his life Gu to die earlier than him, using that to dispel the Gu technique and freeing the people controlled by his life Gu!

Until now, he had never used his life Gu to cast techniques on anyone, other than Da Shun’s Emperor, this meant, the other party wanted to help Da Shun’s Emperor? They found a helper?

Just as he was analysing, the small snake which had blood from the tip of its tongue sprayed on it turned listless and was even less energetic than the previous time. He stared at that slowly losing small snake in a daze and finally remembered that a few days ago, he heard that the Gu Shu ruler was going to visit Da Shun personally, and understood, to be able to cause his snake to be unable to fight back at all, to confidently duel with his life Gu, so it was the Gu Shu ruler after all. Only the Gu Shu ruler had that power, only the ruler’s life Gu was so amazing that it was invincible. He was only a member of an insignificant Gu clan, what ability did he have to fight against an imperial Gu Master?

He laughed pathetically, and looked at his own half dead small snake, then his gaze turned fierce, gritting his teeth, he made a desperate decision, don’t all of you want to save that old Emperor? So what if the Gu Shu ruler came? As long as I die before this snake, the old Emperor would also die on the spot. Gu Shu ruler, even if I die, I will not let you get your way.

He thought this and made the determined decision to die, he flipped his palm inwards, his palm aimed at his face, planning to hit himself to death with one blow. But at this moment, as if the other party knew about his intentions, he flexed his ability, and that barely alive small snake suddenly had its head cut off, there were no signs, no sharp object flying across, and that head acted like it was cut by a blade, its neck cut cleanly, falling into the water with a “plunk”.

That Gu Master could only stare helplessly as his plan was executed too late, staring helplessly at the small snake which was equivalent to his life getting its head cut off and dying. His heart and lungs started to convulse and his whole body collapsed into the water pool, large amounts of blood flowed out from his mouth and the water was instantly dyed a vivid red.

With the death of the life Gu, there was no rule that the person who raised the Gu would not die together, and because the life Gu died before the person who raised the Gu, then, everyone who had been controlled by the life Gu earlier, the Gu contained in them would immediately be dispelled.

Just like the Emperor, originally, under the control of this death heart Gu, he thought that Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui was the woman he loved the most in his life, and when he was carrying out what he loved the most with the woman he loved the most, suddenly, it was as if someone hit a gong next to his ear. It also felt like someone poured cold water over his head and suddenly his mind was cleared by all this.

This clarity was something he never had during this period of time, not only did he recover all his memories of the past, even everything he did during this period of time was deeply saved in his mind. As these two interwove, he looked down again at the woman who was still in a state of shyness and enjoyment below him, the Emperor suddenly felt a wave of nausea.

He pushed Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui away, leaping to the side of the bed, throwing up with all his might. He threw up until the surroundings turned dark, coming close to even throwing up his organs.

The servant standing guard outside heard this commotion and quickly jogged in, when he saw what the Emperor threw up on the floor, suddenly, everyone who entered screamed in unison, it was as if they saw the most terrifying thing, even Imperial Concubine Yuan Gui’s maid, Yue Xiu, was so afraid that she felt weak at the knees, falling on the floor directly.

The Emperor was confused by these people shouting, because it felt so bad when throwing up, he had his eyes closed the whole time. At this moment, he opened his eyes and looked down, then opened his mouth in shock, shouting loudly, “What is this? Why is it like this?”
