Chapter 239: Chapter 239 He Feels It’s Worth It

In the blink of an eye, Qin Chuan extended a finger and tapped Ding Wei’s forehead.

"Pfft!"

The next second, a terrifying aura burst from his fingertip, and Ding Wei’s body fell straight down.

When the crowd looked towards Ding Wei’s corpse again, they were horrified to discover a blood hole that went clean through his forehead.

"Dead, is he dead?"

Murong Mingyue watched as Ding Wei had fallen, still filled with trepidation.

Yu Lin’s eyes widened, the fervor in his gaze intensifying.

Qin Chuan had proven his strength once more, able to pierce through the brain with a single finger, something that an Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong could not accomplish.

Master Feng looked at Qin Chuan with undisguised admiration, almost ready to kneel and worship.

Surprise filled Murong Fu’s face as well, when Ding Wei had charged at him, it was already too late to even think of dodging, let alone resisting.

Just when he thought he was going to be killed, Qin Chuan suddenly stood in front of him.

He himself was an Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialist too, but it was because of the Gu poison that his strength had plummeted greatly.

How Qin Chuan had managed to stand in front of him, he had not even seen clearly.

While everyone was still in shock and had not come to their senses, Qin Chuan quickly extended his index finger and swiftly tapped a few times on Ding Wei’s corpse.

The next second, under the horrified gazes of the crowd, a black worm drilled out from the blood hole in Ding Wei’s forehead.

The size and shape of the worm were almost identical to the one Murong Fu had previously spat out.

"Gu Worm!"

Master Feng exclaimed aloud.

Murong Mingyue felt a chill, almost trembling as she looked towards Qin Chuan and asked, "Mr. Qin, was Ding Wei also poisoned by a Gu?"

Qin Chuan nodded, "The Murong Family Head was poisoned with the Zimu Gu, while Ding Wei was afflicted with the Corpse Gu."

"Corpse Gu?"

Yu Lin seemed to think of something and spoke, "Is it a type of Gu poison that can control a corpse’s movements?"

Qin Chuan said gravely, "Correct! When the person poisoned with the Gu dies, the Gu Master can control the corpse by manipulating the Gu worm inside the body of the poisoned."

"And this Gu Art has a distance limitation, once the distance between the Gu Master and the poisoned exceeds a certain range, they can no longer manipulate the Corpse Gu..."

Before Qin Chuan could finish, Yu Lin’s expression changed drastically as he said with heightened alertness, "Doesn’t that mean that the Gu Master is nearby?"

Murong Fu and Master Feng also instantly became more vigilant.

Qin Chuan shook his head, "The Gu Master is not here!"

Everyone was momentarily stunned; hadn’t Qin Chuan just said controlling the Corpse Gu required being within a certain distance?

Master Feng bowed slightly, his expression earnest as he said, "Please, Mr. Qin, enlighten us!"

Qin Chuan continued, "Ordinary Gu Masters need to be within a certain range to manipulate a corpse through the Corpse Gu."

"However, the one who poisoned the Murong Family Head is no ordinary Gu Master but a very powerful Gu Master of Gu Art, who achieved their objective by controlling one Gu with another."

"He targeted the Gu worm inside the Murong Family Head with the Gu worm inside Ding Wei, and once Ding Wei died, the Corpse Gu in his body autonomously controlled the corpse to kill the Murong Family Head."

At this point, Qin Chuan looked at Murong Fu with a face full of sympathy and said meaningfully, "Murong Family Head, the Gu Master you have offended is not simple at all!"

Murong Fu’s complexion grew ashen to the extreme; he had recalled everyone he had ever offended and still could not determine who the Gu Master was.

Meanwhile, in the depths of a luxurious estate far away in Yandu, a middle-aged man with a full head of black hair was sitting cross-legged.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of black blood.

In that pool of black blood, a black Gu Worm appeared, which Qin Chuan would surely recognize as identical to the one Murong Fu had previously vomited.

The man with black hair glared at the now lifeless Zimu Gu, roaring with a ferocious expression, "Who is it! Who killed my precious?!"

As he yelled, his black hair visibly turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, but his wrinkle-free skin was also aging rapidly, and within a few breaths, his face was full of wrinkles.

The whole person seemed to have aged three or four decades in an instant.

The adversary ground his teeth, pronouncing each word, "Whoever it is that dares kill my precious, I will make you pay with your own blood!"

At this very moment, on Qin Chuan’s side.

Murong Fu, as if he had suddenly made a significant decision, said earnestly, "Mr. Qin, if you can help me deal with this Gu Master lurking in the shadows, I am willing to offer half of the Murong Family’s wealth!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

The visible wealth of each family in the Nine Gates of Yandu is around five hundred billion, and their concealed wealth could very likely exceed a trillion.

Even just half of the Murong Family’s acknowledged wealth would be over two hundred billion.

Now, Murong Fu was actually willing to part with half of the family’s wealth, requesting Qin Chuan’s help to deal with the Gu Master—an earth-shattering move.

This powerful Gu Master remained concealed, and Murong Fu still didn’t know who the person was.

If not for Qin Chuan, he would have been dead.

This time he was lucky to be resurrected by Qin Chuan, but what about next time?

Clearly, the Gu Master had set his sights on him, as well as on the Murong Family; with the opponent alive, the Murong Family would never be at peace.

Murong Fu was very aware of what he meant to the family; once he died, the Murong Family would quickly fall into decline.

In less than three years, the Murong Family’s wealth would reduce by at least half.

In less than five years, the Murong Family would likely be completely removed from the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Given the circumstances, why not make a bold gamble?

Betting on Qin Chuan to deal with that mysterious Gu Master.

Even Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised, but he quickly composed himself, having to admit that the old man was clever.

He then spoke with profound meaning, "I’ve broken the Gu of that Gu Master; he will suffer backlash and won’t be able to place a Gu on you for at least five years. Do you still wish to use half of your family’s wealth to have me act?"

Murong Fu was taken aback—was the Gu Master suffering from backlash?

Yu Lin and Master Feng didn’t dare to even breathe too loudly, watching Murong Fu with faces full of tension.

Even they were unclear about what exactly was causing them such anxiety.

After a few seconds of silence, Murong Fu said with a serious face, "As long as Mr. Qin can help me completely eliminate this threat, I am willing to give you half of the family’s wealth!"

Even if that Gu Master couldn’t use his Gu Art on him within the next five years, he still could not tolerate having such an unknown Gu Master after him.

Shrinking wealth could be regained, but without him, the Murong Family would lose its strongest spiritual support and could collapse at any moment.

Using half of the family’s wealth to bet on a stable future might seem like a very foolish decision to others.

But to him, it was worth it!
