Chapter 1179
Although Gu Kui was filled with resentment, he had made a fatal mistake and had lost the entire game. Now, facing Chen Xuan, he had no trump cards left.
"It's a pity you chose the wrong target; you shouldn't have attacked my Daoist partner." Chen Xuan's gaze was icy as he stared intently at his Gu Puppet senior brother, and he said calmly, "I know Soul Refining Technique, Heart Burning Technique, and the Myriad Soul Banner... How do you want to die?"
Upon hearing about these three insidious and terrifying spells and magical artifacts, even the notoriously ruthless Gu Kui senior brother's face turned deathly pale.
He stared intently at Chen Xuan, and after a long silence, he finally lowered his head and pleaded, "Fellow Daoist, I am willing to give up everything to compensate for the loss of your Daoist partner. Can you spare my soul and life?"
"Give up everything?" Chen Xuan looked at his Gu Puppet senior brother with a mocking smile, shook his head and said, "If I kill you now, all your treasures will naturally be mine. Do you think you still have the right to negotiate with me?"
"Bei Ming, you...you really want to force me to self-destruct and take you down with me?!" Seeing Chen Xuan's ruthlessness, the Gu Puppet senior brother's face twisted into a ferocious expression as he spoke viciously.
"I told you, you don't even have the right to self-destruct now." With that, Chen Xuan flicked his fingers into a sword shape, pointed at his Gu Puppet senior brother from afar, and gently flicked him.
"Ah...no, spare me! Just let my soul live, and I'll agree to any condition!"
The sword intent of the Great Dao within Chen Xuan's body was actively activated, erupting like a raging volcano. Terrifying torment and pain instantly erupted within the Gu Puppet Senior Brother's body. If this power were just a fraction stronger, it would completely crush and dissipate his soul.
Seeing that the time was right, Chen Xuan slowly lowered his sword finger, then squatted down, looked down at his Gu Puppet senior brother who was covered in sweat and looked disheveled, and said, "I told you, you don't have the ability to self-destruct right now."
"Senior, spare my life! I am Gu Ying, I don't want to die! I haven't avenged my great grudge, and I haven't yet turned that bitch into a Gu puppet. I don't want to die!"
Driven to the brink, Gu Ying's psychological defenses finally collapsed, and he revealed his truest and most vulnerable side to Chen Xuan.
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with interest, and he smiled, "I don't have any other strengths, but I love listening to stories. I'll give you a chance, tell me one."
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Gu Ying's eyes glazed over, and he fell into a brief silence. After a long while, he slowly began to recount his extremely tragic life and the deep-seated hatred he carried.
It turns out that Gu Ying was not a high-ranking figure in the Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect of the Nine Turns Star Domain at all.
On the contrary, he came from extremely humble origins. The Gu God Domain in the Nine Turns Star Domain was merely a mid-level cultivation world. In the vast and boundless cultivation world, such a world was an insignificant existence.
However, within the Gu God Domain lies a colossal entity—the Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect. The strength and foundation of this sect rival those of renowned holy lands.
It can be said that the entire Gu God Domain is under the absolute control of the Heavenly Dao Gu God Sect, and all the rules and regulations in the world are formulated by the higher-ups of this sect.
Of course, all of this had no direct impact on Gu Ying, who was a mortal at the time. Until he was six years old, a group of people claiming to be masters of the immortal sect came to select disciples, and his fate was changed dramatically from then on.
Gu Ying was intelligent and quick-witted from a young age, and his natural talent was exceptional; he was chosen on his first try. As a result, his family received a rather generous reward.
At that time, the path of cultivating immortality was full of endless mystery and allure in Gu Ying's eyes; it was the bright future he had always dreamed of.
However, when he joined the Gu God Sect and became a disciple, the harsh reality was like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing his illusions.
Every day, he was forced to swallow countless viscous liquids, wriggling insects, and all sorts of strange pills that emitted a pungent and unpleasant odor.
Each time Gu Ying took these substances, he felt as if he were teetering on the edge of life and death, experiencing hellish torment. Of the hundreds of his peers who were selected at the same time, eight or nine out of ten had fallen at this stage.
Fortunately, Gu Ying's longing for his parents burned like a raging fire, sustaining him and allowing him to grit his teeth and persevere. Moreover, through constant torment, he gradually developed a certain resistance to the Gu worms. This change delighted one of his ugly senior sisters, who was in charge of supervising him.
Not long after, a new junior sister appeared in Gu Ying's world. This junior sister was petite and charming, with a gentle and kind personality. She always gave Gu Ying meticulous comfort and care when he was most lonely, helpless, and missed his hometown and family the most.
Gradually, a subtle and beautiful change occurred in the relationship between the two.
Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. The naive and ignorant Gu Ying of the past has gradually come to understand his true status in the sect.
Fortunately, the sect had already announced that if anyone was still not qualified to become an inner disciple after fifteen years, they would be expelled from the sect.
At that time, Gu Ying had already pledged his life to his junior sister and was looking forward to the end of the fifteen-year period, when they would go down the mountain together, return to their hometown, get married, have children, and spend their lives together.
As the years go by, this beautiful wish seems to be getting closer and closer, almost within reach.
However, fate dealt Gu Ying a heavy blow during the final sect assessment in the fifteenth year, causing him to experience a scene he would never forget.
The junior sister who had spent nearly fifteen years with him, made vows of eternal love, and secretly pledged her life to him, suddenly transformed before his eyes into the ugly senior sister he feared and loathed the most.
"Brother Ying, you're so naughty! Junior sister has decided that after we go down the mountain, I'll go home with you, get married, and have lots and lots of children with you."
While imitating her junior sister's voice in a coquettish tone, the ugly senior sister suddenly tore open her clothes, revealing her horrific, ravaged body that resembled rotting flesh. Like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, she pounced directly on Gu Ying.
Gu Ying roared in despair, cursing the woman angrily, but he was powerless to resist.
