Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

344- Gu Master Zhuo Ye

Yan Tianhen walked up to Lin Xuanzhi, “What do you mean, Dage?”

Lin Xuanzhi answered, “Since Shi Yongtai dares to kill us in secret, I can’t let him get away with it.”

“Is Dage going to kill him?” Yan Tianhen asked.

“That man has to be killed.” Lin Xuanzhi’s eyes deepened slightly, “Since he’s already acting desperately and invested so much money into this, it seems that if he fails to kill us once, he’ll try a second time. If he stays alive, he’ll only be trouble along the way.”   

The one who strikes first gains the upper hand, while the one who strikes later suffers a calamity. Shi Yongtai had already taken the lead, but unfortunately, these people he chose were not skilled enough. On the contrary, they ended up alerting their prey and made a fool of themselves.

Yan Tianhen narrowed his eyes slightly, “Why don’t we start now?”

Lin Xuanzhi took Yan Tianhen’s hand, “We don’t need to do it ourselves. Shi Yongtai may have other protective measures. We can’t do it easily.”

“What does Dage mean?”

“This corpse can be used.” Lin Xuanzhi put away the magic treasure that could form an enclosed barrier around a set area. The ring of a bell sounded which was especially prominent in the night.

Yan Tianhen looked into the distance. In the long alley, a thin and tall man dressed in white with a pale face came floating towards their side.

He went in front of Lin Xuanzhi and stood still. A pair of indifferent eyes stared at Lin Xuanzhi’s face for a moment, then asked, “What did you call me for this evening?” 

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “I need you to put a Gu worm in this corpse and kill a person.”

The man asked flatly, “Who?”

“The shopkeeper of Yongtai Manor, Shi Yongtai.”

“Understood.”

After that, the man took action right away and turned to the corpse, flicking a finger in the air. Yan Tianhen only saw a red object bounce out of his hand. It landed on top of the corpse and disappeared instantly.   

Yan Tianhen widened his eyes curiously for fear of missing any of the man’s movements.

He watched as the man formed a few more hand seals, mumbling words that Yan Tianhen didn’t know. In less than the time it takes to make a cup of tea, the corpse that had lost its soul unexpectedly stood up like a living man. Except for a pair of dull-looking eyes, he walked with great coordination and more flexibility than Ling Chigu in the beginning of his creation as a corpse puppet.

“Go.” The man commanded.

The body jumped several times before disappearing into the alley.

“Witchcraft?” Yan Tianhen gasped, “You are a Gu Master from the South Continent!”

The white-robed man nodded, “My name is Zhuo Ye. I am a Gu Master of the South Continent.” 

Gu Masters relied half on Gu insects and half on sorcery, both of which were indispensable to them.

The white-robed man seemed unwilling to continue the conversation. He yawned, “Tomorrow you will receive the news of the man’s death. Is there anything else besides that?”
