Chapter 234: My Poor Family (1)
Translator: 549690339
Silently entering the Thousand Venom Swamp, Zhu Wuwan followed the information about the Gu Poison Sect in his mind and sneaked toward the Gu Poison Sect’s lair in the depths of the Thousand Venom Swamp.
Along the way, they met many surveillance Gu worms set up by the Gu Poison Sect. If they were disturbed, they would be discovered by the Gu Poison Sect.
With Zhu Wanwan’s strength, it was a piece of cake to hide from them. She easily passed through the surveillance Gu worms and continued to advance into the depths of Thousand Gu Swamp.
A few hours later, Zhu Wuan appeared outside the Gu Poison Sect’s protective formation.
The Gu Poison Sect’s headquarters was an island in the middle of a lake. It was a hundred miles in circumference and was surrounded by poisonous water filled with Gu worms. It was a natural barrier.
The Gu Poison Sect set up various array formations in the Poison Lake, forming a mountain-protecting array that was not inferior to the Hundred Poisons Sect. To a certain extent, the Gu Poison Sect’s mountain-protecting array was even stronger.
This was an array formation group formed by several low-grade top-grade Spiritual Arrays, dozens of low-grade high-grade Spiritual Arrays, and dozens of low-grade middle-grade and low-grade low-grade Spiritual Arrays.
However, the Hundred Poisons Sect had long understood and investigated the Gu Poison Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation. They had also stored a lot of information in the sect, and Zhu Wuyang had read it in advance.
In addition, Zhu Wanhao’s low-grade top-grade array formation cultivation could be said to be the number one person below a mid-grade Spiritual Array Master. It might be difficult to break through this mountain-protecting array formation, but it would not be difficult to sneak in.
Before he left, Grand Elder Ou Yangming gave him a talisman that could break the array formation. As long as he used the talisman, he would be able to break a hole in the array formation and allow Zhu Wuwan to enter without a sound.
Although it could only be used several times and there was not much spiritual energy left on it, it could still be considered a great killing weapon.
Ou Yangming had another motive for doing so, which was to prevent Zhu Wuyang from revealing his formation cultivation base so that others would not suspect him and associate him with the murderer from Hundred Poisons Sect.
In fact, Zhu Wanhao had thought of this as well, so he specially created another method to break formations. Its effect was similar to the spirit talisman that could break formations, and he wanted to disguise himself with it. He did not expect Ou Yangming to give him another one, so it was a pleasant surprise.
Naturally, Zhu Wuwan would not mind having too many of these things. After all, his method of breaking the array still required some time to observe and deduce. However, with the Array Breaking Spiritual Talisman in hand, he could directly break the array at any critical moment. This was much more useful than breaking the array himself.
However, he was not in a hurry now, and there were no enemies chasing him from behind. Zhu Wuwan naturally would not use the Array Breaking Spiritual Talisman. Instead, he used his original array breaking technique to break the array formation on the poison lake outside the Gu Poison Sect.
After entering the depths of the Poison Lake, Zhu Wuwan used the talisman to protect his body. He began to observe and calculate the flaws of this mountain-protecting array formation. He wanted to see if it was possible to do something to it while cracking it. At the critical moment, it would be able to display a certain effect.
As time went by, Zhu Wuyang learned more and more about the protective array formation around the Gu Poison Sect. During this period, Gu worms and patrolling cultivators of the Gu Poison Sect passed by from time to time, but they did not discover Zhu Wuyang who was hiding.
Zhu Wuwan wandered around the edge of the Poison Lake, understanding and deducing the Gu Poison Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation bit by bit. After spending a full ten hours, he finally found a way to sneak in silently.
Even with Zhu Wuyang’s attainments in array formations, he would need at least half a month to do something like that. Therefore, after some consideration, Zhu Wuyang gave up. He could not wait that long.
Moreover, as long as he could infiltrate the Gu Poison Sect and find some information about the mountain protecting array group, he would be able to easily understand the mountain protecting array group and even master it. This was much more efficient than observing it himself.
Therefore, Zhu Wuan was prepared to sneak into the Gu Poison Sect and bring a big surprise to the Gu Poison Sect.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Zhu Wuyang made a hole in the Gu Poison Sect’s mountain-protecting array formation and silently infiltrated it, looking for a suitable target.
The distribution of the Gu Poison Sect’s headquarters was completely different from that of the Hundred Poisons Sect. The Hundred Poisons Sect was divided into mountain peaks, and cultivators of different levels and forces lived on each mountain peak.
However, on the Gu Poison Sect’s Lake Island, there were mountains, canyons, rivers, forests, hills, and so on. The concentration of Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi was different, so the Gu Poison Sect’s cultivators lived in different places.
The Gu Poison Sect’s cultivators were also divided into factions and families, so they lived in different places. They were also surrounded by array formations. Although they could not compare to the mountain protection array group, they were not bad.
It was much easier for Zhu Wuan to crack these array formations. After considering for a moment, Zhu Wuan chose the largest force in the Gu Poison Sect based on the information, the Miao Clan, and sneaked away.
The ancestor of the Miao clan was the only Grand Elder of the Gu Poison Sect, and he was also an early-stage Golden Core Perfected Being. Although he was not as powerful as Ou Yangming Mingyi from the Hundred Poisons Sect, he was not too far off.
The Miao Clan had more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, and seven of them were at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. They were undoubtedly the number one force in the Gu Poison Sect.
As the Gu Poison Sect’s greatest power, the Miao Clan had occupied the Gray Ghost Forest, which had the densest Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy on Lake Heart Island. They had also set up low grade supreme-grade Spiritual Arrays around it, and it would take a lot of effort to break through them.
Zhu Wuwan shook his head helplessly. He hid under a Gray Ghost Tree and began to investigate the protective array around the Gray Ghost Forest.
As the name suggested, the Gray Ghost Forest was filled with gray-black Gray Ghost Trees. Each of them was more than a hundred years old, and the largest was thousands of years old. It covered half of the island, and even during the day, it was as dark as evening.
Because the Gray Ghost Tree could naturally nourish Gu worms, many Gu worms liked to reproduce in the Gray Ghost Forest, so the Gray Ghost Forest was one of the most suitable places for Gu worms to live.
The cultivators of the Miao Clan were extremely skilled in gu techniques. In addition, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi here was rich, so they naturally chose this place as their foundation.
However, such an environment was very suitable for Zhu Wuwan to hide. It was just that there were too many Gu worms inside, and there were naturally countless surveillance Gu worms. It was very easy for these little things to discover them.
This forced Zhu Wanhao to learn a mid-level spell, the Gu Concealment Technique, that the Hundred Poisons Sect had obtained from the Gu Poison Sect. It could effectively block the detection of all kinds of Gu worms and prevent them from discovering it.
In order to raise it to the Perfection Realm, Zhu Wuyang had specially spent more than a thousand Free Breakthrough Stones. This made it even worse for Zhu Wuyang, who was not rich to begin with.
Fortunately, with the help of the Gu concealment technique, even though there were countless Gu worms in the Gray Ghost Forest, they still could not find Zhu Wanhao at all.
Zhu Wuan walked around as if he was walking on flat ground. He searched everywhere, trying to find a way to crack the protective array formation.
With his strength, he would be able to crack the defensive array here very quickly and then earn breakthrough stones to his heart’s content!
