Chapter 398: Chapter 0398: Snow Mountain Decisive Battle (19th Update)

Shen Congwen’s heart jolted, as he distinctly felt something devouring his consciousness within his mind.

If it really could devour his consciousness, then controlling him to find the entrance according to his original instincts wouldn’t be impossible.

Shen Congwen’s heart suddenly sank, praying that Mr. Chu would arrive quickly.

The little insects devoured a person’s consciousness in just five seconds. Soon, Shen Congwen’s eyes began to glaze over; he numbly turned around, facing Elder Gui. His eyes, dull and lifeless, stared back, reminiscent of Deadpool.

Elder Gui asked him, "What is your name?"

"Shen Congwen." Shen Congwen mechanically responded.

Elder Gui nodded in satisfaction, then further inquired, "Do you know where the entrance to the First-level Earth Ganoderma is?"

"..." Shen Congwen remained silent, not responding for a long time.

Honda Sakura, puzzled, asked, "What’s happening? Didn’t the Insect Poisonous Insect devour his consciousness?"

Elder Gui frowned slightly, shaking his head, "No, his consciousness has been devoured and dissolved. Now, the reason he’s not responding is that he has a strong protective consciousness. The principle of the Insect Poisonous Insect devouring consciousness is similar to hypnosis. If someone deeply protects themselves, it’s difficult to breach their psychological defenses."

Hearing this, Honda Sakura felt somewhat frustrated. What should they do now?

While everyone was at a loss, suddenly, the rumbling sound of a car engine came from nearby.

Honda Sakura looked towards the sound and saw a Jeep driving fast towards them.

Two people were in the car, one was Chu Ge, and the other was Huo Tianqian.

Huo Tianqian was driving at full speed, but upon seeing the scene in front of him, he realized he was too late.

"Mr. Chu, look at Mr. Shen."

Huo Tianqian steadily stopped the car, and at a glance, he noticed something was wrong with Shen Congwen.

At that moment, Chu Ge also noticed and quickly jumped out of the car, striding towards the ruins.

"Elder Gui, you seem to have arrived much quicker than I anticipated." Elder Gui’s gaze fixed on Chu Ge; it seemed to be a true meeting between the two.

Chu Ge also noticed Elder Gui, who looked exactly like the person he had confronted before.

No.

The aura emanating from this Elder Gui was even denser, clearly a master-level figure.

His Martial Force was indeed above Grandmaster level.

"I actually feel I’ve arrived late," Chu Ge said slowly, hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping around and settling on Tang Jiahui lying on the ground, barely alive, slightly raising his eyebrows in surprise.

From the attire of the people on the ground, they seemed to be from the Tang Sect.

It seems the Tang Sect still hasn’t given up, still foolishly hoping to obtain the Earth Ganoderma!

"Elder Gui, are you also interested in the Earth Ganoderma?" Elder Gui asked.

Chu Ge’s lips slightly curved up, "Earth Ganoderma, who wouldn’t be interested?"

Without explicitly stating it, but clearly expressing his position, Chu Ge was determined to obtain the Earth Ganoderma.

Chu Ge’s arrival caused both Shen Xianming and Honda Sakura to have a bad premonition, especially Shen Xianming, who was trying to quietly sneak away while everyone was distracted.

Yet, just as he turned to leave, someone caught him by the collar from behind.

"Mr. Shen, where are you headed?" Huo Tianqian tightly gripped Shen Xianming’s arm, rendering him immobile.

Huo Tianqian was no match for Elder Gui, but dealing with someone like Shen Xianming was a piece of cake for him!

Shen Xianming felt despair.

After tying Shen Xianming to the car, Huo Tianqian stepped out of the vehicle and intently watched the situation here.

The impact of the explosion at the ruins was so significant, he believed it wouldn’t be long before the police arrived.

Chu Ge was someone who disliked trouble, what he didn’t expect was that Elder Gui disliked trouble as well.

Compared to Earth Ganoderma, Elder Gui was more thrilled to duel with a master.

"Mr. Chu truly brings out the talented, are you interested in another match?"

Elder Gui looked at Chu Ge. Although Chu Ge had hidden his aura very well, he could feel the strong power brewing within him.

If he could harness this power for himself, would he still need to seek out Earth Ganoderma? Ha!

Elder Gui’s mind was racing with calculations, and wasn’t Chu Ge also eager to have a good fight with him?

Even if Elder Gui hadn’t shown up, he would have personally gone to challenge him.

But it was truly puzzling for Elder Gui to openly request a duel instead of sneakily attempting an ambush.

After all, ambushing was a trick commonly used by the Ghost Poison Sect.

Elder Gui formally challenged him, "Three days from now, at the peak of Snow Mountain, let’s not miss it."

After finishing his statement, Elder Gui strode away.

Honda Sakura was baffled, why was there another decisive battle brewing? What about the Earth Ganoderma? Are they not interested anymore? So, Shen Congwen’s barely gotten coordinated effort was just going to be ignored?

Elder Gui naturally wouldn’t bother with the questions in Honda Sakura’s mind. He briskly walked down the mountain. With no choice, Honda Sakura, albeit reluctantly, followed Elder Gui down.

This visit didn’t result in any losses, at least they managed to kill Tang Jiahui, the young master of the Tang family!

Honda Sakura thought about how devastated Tang Haowan would be seeing his beloved grandson killed, and she felt a surge of pleasure.

Huo Tianqian, seeing Elder Gui and his gang leaving so easily, approached with confusion and asked, "Mr. Chu, they just left like this?"

Chu Ge nodded and told Huo Tianqian, "Elder Gui has challenged me to a duel atop Snow Mountain in three days."

Huo Tianqian was surprised, "This Sect Leader of the Ghost Poison Sect is quite upfront, opting for a direct challenge instead of an ambush."

Chu Ge lightly chuckled, "Whether he’s upfront or not, in three days, I’ll make sure he pays for everything he has done!"

Huo Tianqian had always been confident in Chu Ge’s abilities, so at this moment, his greater worry was what to do with Shen Congwen and Tang Jiahui.

"I checked just now, Tang Jiahui is still breathing." Huo Tianqian hesitated, unsure how to suggest to Chu Ge to help treat Tang Jiahui, because he had a deep grudge with him, although the grudge wasn’t solely caused by Tang Jiahui, which made him quite conflicted now.

Chu Ge seemed to see through his thoughts, raising his hand to pat his shoulder and said, "First, take Mr. Shen back to the car, I’ll go check on Tang Jiahui."

Most of the other dozen disciples from Tang Sect were already dead, and the few that remained were barely hanging on and beyond saving.

Chu Ge walked straight to where Tang Jiahui lay, his face shrouded in dark energy, his breathing faint but not beyond saving.

Chu Ge decided to help for the sake of Tang Haowan, and Tang Jiahui’s own martial arts were not weak; he quickly reacted at the moment of poisoning, blocking most of the poison externally without harming his internal pathways.

Hence for Chu Ge, treating him didn’t take long.
