Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 430 is the Loyalty Gu!!

"Grandpa, I'll go to the Medicine Valley again and try, but this thing must never be taken out!" The boy suddenly stood up.

'Bang!' Just then, a dark figure kicked the door open and rushed in, so fast that the two people in the study didn't even have time to react.

"Who are you?" The boy, being a martial artist, immediately reached out and took the small box in his hand.

He cautiously observed the man in black before him. He had a very ordinary appearance and had never seen him before.

As soon as the man in black saw him put away the box, he drew his sword and lunged at him without saying a word.

In an instant, the two were locked in combat.

The old man also retreated nimbly, watching the two fighting without panicking.

A moment later, the man in black still had the upper hand. Just as the boy was kicked to the ground, the man in black thrust his long sword at him. The old man cried out in surprise and threw a hidden weapon.

'Bang!' The man in black blocked with his longsword, and the hidden weapon was knocked away.

The next instant, the man thrust his longsword at the boy again.

"Xiao Yan!!" The old man's eyes widened in fury.

With a 'whoosh' sound.

Gu Qingyue's short sword steadily blocked the black-clad man's long sword.

She had just released her spiritual energy outside to check on the situation in Old Master Feng's study when she suddenly noticed a man in black sneaking into the courtyard. Unexpectedly, he was there to steal something!

Gu Qingyue naturally wouldn't stand idly by.

The next moment, the two were locked in combat!

Gu Yuanen quickly stepped forward to help the boy up, then stepped aside and went to the old man's side.

"Who are you?" The old man grabbed the boy's shoulder, helped him steady, and looked at Gu Yuanen.

Gu Yuanen had no time to look at the old man; instead, he stared intently at Gu Qingyue and the man in black locked in combat.

It's clear that this man in black is skilled and ruthless. Although he's already at a disadvantage in his fight with the little girl, he's still changing his moves to try and resist. He's no ordinary person!

A moment later, the man in black was finally defeated. As he retreated, he threw out a white pill, which sent up a plume of white smoke that blurred everyone's vision.

Gu Yuanen felt a blur before his eyes. Heh, this man in black is cunning enough. Even as he was running away, he didn't forget to snatch the things from the boy's hands.

Thump! Before he could even get close to the boy, Gu Yuanen kicked him away, sending him crashing into the door frame.

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, glared hatefully at Gu Yuanen, and leaped into the air.

He rushed towards the door.

Gu Qingyue raised an eyebrow at the man in black. She sheathed her sword and casually flicked out a black pellet.

With a 'boom,' the black ball exploded behind the man in black, sending out a flame that ignited the back of his shirt.

As expected, a pitiful cry rang out.

Gu Qingyue curled her lips into a mocking smile, leaped up, floated to the man in black, and kicked him into the large water vat under the eaves.

Since most houses in ancient times were made of wood, wealthy families would typically place a large water vat in front of all their houses. This vat was used to grow flowers and fish, and in case of fire, it could be used to put out flames.

Well, this is exactly what I need now.

The man in black was thrown around and landed in the large water vat with a 'plop'.

The fire was extinguished, and after a while, the man in black surfaced. As soon as he emerged from the water, Gu Qingyue's long sword was firmly placed against his neck.

Looking into the man in black's pained yet fierce eyes, Gu Qingyue snorted coldly.

Fifteen minutes later, the man in black, bound like a dumpling, lay half-reclined in the Feng family's study, his arms and legs bound, without uttering a word.

The old man looked at the man in black on the ground, then at the boy with a large mole on his chin, and for some reason, he felt that everything was very strange.

"Who are you?" the old man asked the man in black lying on the ground, clenching his fist.

The man in black had an arrogant look in his eyes. He glanced at the old man, then turned away without saying a word.

The next instant, Gu Qingyue's short sword was pressed against the black-clad man's neck. A trickle of blood fell, and the black-clad man's body stiffened for a moment, but he remained silent.

"Are you a professional assassin? Are you here to kill Old Master Feng and the others?" The man in black didn't even flinch.

"Are you from Nanzhao, trying to rob Old Master Feng's family of their gold and silver?"

The man in black's eyes flickered slightly, but he immediately regained his composure.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanen's lips twitched slightly. His little sister's ability to make up stories was truly impressive.

The old man beside him felt a surge of anger and stared intently at the man in black, trying to read something from his eyes.

Gu Qingyue smiled slightly, "Are you from the Nanzhao Wizard Temple, here to steal the Feng family's important token?"

After speaking, the man in black looked at Gu Qingyue with disbelief, his eyes seemingly filled with venom.

But Old Feng was not calm. He suddenly stood up.

"Who exactly are you? I have no grudge against the Nanzhao Wizard Temple, why are you here to rob us?"

He truly hadn't expected that someone from the Nanzhao Wizard Temple would come to steal his token.

The main problem is that this token has absolutely nothing to do with Nanzhao. What good would it do to steal it?

Seeing the man in black's ruthless yet helpless expression, Gu Qingyue laughed freely.

"Speak! Why did you come to steal the Feng family's token? Who sent you? What do you intend to do with it?"

Gu Qingyue used her short sword to lift the man in black's chin and said softly.

She wanted to see just how stubborn this man in black could be.

"Pfft—" The man in black suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, his head lolled to the side, and he stopped moving.

Gu Qingyue: ......

How could she forget that all those people from the Nanzhao Wizard Temple would die from poisoning after being captured?!

She wanted to swear!

"Loyalty Gu!!" the old man exclaimed.

Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen: ? ? ? ?

After watching the servants drag the man in black away, the group sat down again.

"What is the Loyalty Gu?" Gu Yuanen immediately asked the old man. He had just seen the man in black suddenly vomit blood, and his death was exactly the same as that of the female protector.

Old Feng paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This is the first time I've seen this situation. However, I heard Vice Pavilion Master Lu mention before that the Nanzhao Wizard Temple would use a kind of Gu poison on some of its members in order to control them."

This type of Gu usually shows no symptoms, but once the internal energy is forcibly sealed or the host suffers severe internal injuries, the Gu poison will immediately take effect and kill the host.

This was also to prevent these people from revealing the secrets of the Wizarding Temple when they were captured or on the verge of death.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyue and Gu Yuanen were utterly stunned. So that's how it is!

Such a magical Gu worm exists in this world!

"However, I heard from Vice Pavilion Master Lu that this kind of Gu has another function, which is to neutralize some poisons and sleeping potions, so it is still beneficial to these people."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Feng added.

That's it!

Gu Qingyue and the other woman exchanged a glance. Gu Qingyue, in particular, suddenly remembered when she had met the girl from Nanzhao a long time ago. She had used a sleeping potion on the girl, but the girl was basically unaffected.

She thought it was because the drug wasn't effective enough.

Ha! So it was because of the Loyalty Gu?!

That Jade Girl must also be a member of the Wizard's Hall!
