Walker Of The Worlds-Novel

Chapter 401 - Gu Yao

Gu Yao looked at the speechless faces of everyone and couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Looks like my subordinates did much better work than I expected. I never expected them to be able to maintain the disguise for such a long time." Gu Yao laughed.

He then looked at Qing Yuan Tiu before asking "so I assume my brother is in trouble?"

"Master Wu Xun has been taken in by the royal court for questioning. They are investigating the disappearance of the mercenaries and the cultivators along with the commoners." Qing yuan Tiu answered.

"Ah... I see. I guess I’ll have to get him back later on. By the time we’re done here all the accusations will be nullified." Gu Yao replied.

The supreme elder and peak master Yi Deng drew out their weapons and got ready to attack. The supreme elder had a spear as his weapon while the peak master had a fan. From the spirit qi fluctuations that were coming from the two spirit weapons Lin Mu could tell that they were at the high grade.

This was the second time he was actually seeing a high-grade spirit weapon in someone else’s hands. These weapons looked rather simple but Lin Mu could tell the difference between them. The spear of the Supreme elder was a pure forging type of spirit weapon while the fan that the peak master Yi Deng was using was an enchantment type of spirit weapon.

"Oh? You think you can fight me?" Gu Yao taunted.

"It doesn’t matter, we will still stop you." The supreme elder replied before stabbing forward with his spear.

~shing~

Before the spear could stab into the body of Gu Yao though, it was stopped by his finger. The bloodstreams that were flowing around his wrapped around his hand like a gauntlet and he stopped the attack like that.

"Impossible!" The supreme elder exclaimed.

"Ahaha! If it was about a year ago, this would have been enough to injure me greatly. But I’m afraid you all are too late..." Gu Yao replied before flicking the spear away.

~shua~

The peak master waved the fan in his hand and an illusory fan that was ten times as large formed in the air. This fan was made out of orange flames and spread out towards Gu Yao.

~humph~

"Small tricks..." he uttered before flicking his index and middle finger together upwards.

With that gesture, a wall of blood rose from the blood pool and easily blocked the flaming fan. It was instantly doused and nullified, leaving Yi Deng breathless. Not only had that attack taken a lot from him, but it being blocked had also damaged him slightly.

Wu Hei too decided to give up on the pretenses and showed his true strength.

~huala~

Waves of spirit qi rose from his body as they spread in the area. Lin Mu and the two disciples of the Tri cauldron peony sect couldn’t help but notice this.

"Peak stage core condensation realm!" Quan Hong exclaimed.

"Unity flipping fist!" Wu Hei chanted before his hands were covered in a white glow.

~Deng~

His fist was blocked by the blood wall again, but this time the blood wall actually flickered as if affected by the attack.

"Oh? That’s a rather unique technique. Didn’t think my little nephew would be able to hide his capabilities so well from his father." Gu Yao said before laughing, "haha! The blood of the Gu clan runs within you too! I knew that no child of the Gu clan can be as useless as Wu Xun told me."

Wu Teng who had been knocked to the side by Qing Yuan Tiu was finally able to stand back up. But his condition was not good. He had been caught off guard and was injured by a rather Strong attack. Qing Yuan Tiu was also at the mid-stage of the core condensation realm like him, plus her technique focused completely on offensive power.

Though what astounded Wu Teng even more was his brother’s strength. He would have never expected that his brother who didn’t like socializing and cultivating would one day be so much stronger than him. He couldn’t imagine how much effort would it have taken to hide it for so long.

The humiliation and insults that his brother had suffered were something he did not like. But only now did he realize it was all intentional on his brother’s part.

Wu Teng gritted his teeth in frustration. He hated the fact that he couldn’t do anything right now. He hated that he was injured by a sneak attack and caught off guard. But the thing that he hated the most was that this man Gu Yao was actually related to them.

At first, Wu Teng was absolutely opposed to it, but now that he took another look at the man, he could recognize the facial features. They were a bit similar to that of his father and even his own. Plus, there was this gut feeling deep inside him telling him that Gu Yao was his blood-related uncle.

Wu Teng had never expected that he still had other family except for his mother and father left. From what his father had told them, he knew that Wu Xun was an orphan and had grown up poor.

Gu Yao looked at Wu Hei and shook his head.

"While you are powerful, you still have a lot to learn..." Gu Yao said before waving his hands.

A blood-red glow appeared on his body and spread around the area.

"I should have done this from the start..." Gu Yao muttered.

The supreme elder and peak master tried to defend themselves against the blood-red wave of energy but found it to be helpless.

As soon as the blood-red energy touched their bodies, they were stuck. It was as if their bodies had been frozen and no matter what they tried, they couldn’t move.

~Slick~

Streams of blood flowed out from the blood pool and wrapped around the bodies of everyone here. Lin Mu was the same as others and found it impossible to move. If even peak stage nascent soul realm cultivators could be affected by this skill, then it was obvious that it would be impossible for him too.

"What... is... this...?" The supreme elder uttered with great difficulty.

"Ah... this will make it easy. Now you all just relax until the process is completed. Once it is done, all your sufferings and troubles will go away." Gu Yao replied with a toothy grin that terrified the people that looked at him.

Lin Mu chanted the calming heart sutra to see if it worked, but found it useless. He then tried the severing heart sutra and gained a little control over his body, enough to struggle a bit.

"You, why are you doing this?" Lin Mu questioned.

~clap~

"Seems like we have a rather talented person amongst us. I never expected someone at your cultivation base would be able to resist the blood binding seal." Gu Yao said before spirit sense extended from his body and touched over Lin Mu.

"Oh, what’s this? I sense something familiar on you... Hmm... spatial qi traces? Not just that..." Gu Yao spoke before his eyes went wide in realization.

"You have the plate! You have the beast storage treasure, don’t you?" Gu Yao asked.
