Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Gu King Takes Action Personally Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Gu King Takes Action Personally After Lin Dong returned, Bai Zhonglou called to inquire about the situation.
When he learned that Granny Gu had been killed, Bai Zhonglou let out a deep sigh of relief.
“Dragon Lord, where are you now? I would like to come and see you,” Bai Zhonglou asked.
Lin Dong instructed him to come to the villa at the holiday village.
Lin Dong had just obtained the Snake Pill from that Gu snake and needed to refine and absorb it. He might need to go into seclusion for two days to do so. Therefore, before entering seclusion, Lin Dong had some matters to explain to Bai Zhonglou.
Soon afterward, Lin Dong had arrived at the door of the holiday village.
Because the entire resort now belonged to Lin Dong, he had turned the holiday village into a non-public place for cultivating Chinese medicine.
Apart from a few gatekeepers, there were no other people to be seen in the entire resort.
Shortly after Lin Dong arrived at the villa, Bai Zhonglou also came.
“Dragon Lord!” Bai Zhonglou greeted Lin Dong with a cupped-fist salute.
Lin Dong nodded his head and said to Bai Zhonglou, “Leader Bai, your timing is perfect. I’m about to enter seclusion for two days. I’m leaving the protection work to you.”
Bai Zhonglou nodded gravely.
“Dragon Lord, when the time comes, I shall personally guard the door myself!”
With Bai Zhonglou guarding the door, Lin Dong felt much more at ease.
He then chatted with Bai Zhonglou for a while, asking about Long Ying’s situation.
Long Ying was still in Southern Capital and hadn’t come over.
“It’s a pity that Lord Long Ying has lost all his strength. If he could recover, how could he let the Dragon Lord face the Gu King alone?”
“With Lord Long Ying in action, we would be able to kill the Gu King.”
Lin Dong sighed, thinking he had to break through to the Stage of Internal Qi Transformation Pill quickly.
Only by doing so could he refine the Resuscitating Pill.
This Resuscitating Pill was now a matter of life and death for both Elder Qiao and Long Ying.
Besides, after taking the Resuscitating Pill, Long Ying’s strength would gradually recover. Even if not back to his peak time, recovering eight or nine levels of his power would still be very impressive.
By then, he would be a significant aid to Lin’s step into the Capital City.
With these thoughts, he gave Bai Zhonglou a few more instructions and then turned to enter seclusion.
After he went into the villa to seclude himself, Bai Zhonglou personally stood guard at the villa area’s gate.
Inside a cave in the southwest.
At the moment, another Sub Gu on the Gu King’s body had died.
The Sub Gu that died belonged to Granny Gu.
“Even that old woman was no match for him…”
The Gu King murmured this and then continued his seclusion, absorbing the Gu creatures in the pool of blood.
“Boom~~~”
Suddenly, the Gu King’s eyes snapped open.
A stream of Inner Qi shot out of his eyes.
The terrifying Inner Qi turned into a sharp blade, slashing toward a giant rock nearby.
The rock was actually cut in half!
“Hu…” The Gu King exhaled and said coldly, “Finally, I have broken through to the strength of the Half-Step Earth Realm. Now I can officially end my seclusion!”
“Lin Dong, you really exceed my expectations. Only twenty years old and yet so powerful. You killed several of my adopted sons and even that old granny fell at your hands…”
“Heh, heh, but the more monstrous you are, the better your talent. Turning you into a ‘Gu Person’ later will be even more helpful to me.”
After muttering to himself, the Gu King extended his hand and caressed the blood-red centipede in the pool of blood.
This was his Life Gu, a natural Gu creature known as the ‘Blood Demon Centipede.’
“Squeak, squeak~~~” The blood-colored centipede seemed to understand the meaning of his words, knowing that it was about to go kill.
It instantly became excited.
“Heh, heh, old buddy, can’t wait any longer, can you? Then let’s set off immediately…”
On the Martial Arts Dark Web.
The news of Lin Dong killing the witch was naturally announced as well.
Suddenly, the matter became the hot topic of the day.
“This Lin Dong is seriously monstrous. He’s only twenty years old, and yet he managed to kill Granny Gu!”
“Granny Gu once killed the 13th Master on the Dragon Rankings, and Lin Dong killed Granny Gu, so does that mean we can conclude that Lin Dong has at least the strength of the 13th on the Dragon Rankings?”
“Truly a supreme genius!”
“Everyone lost terribly this time. Who would have thought that Lin Dong could get this far.”
“Right, there were four Hades orders in total. Now, the first three have all failed, and more than ninety percent of people predicted wrong.”
“The Banker made a killing this time.”
“The Banker might not have won, don’t forget, two people placed several billion on Lin Dong surviving to the end. That’s a hundred-to-one payout!”
“If Lin Dong really survives to the end, then the Banker will have to pay those two nearly a trillion.”
“Of course, if Lin Dong dies at the hands of the Gu King, the Banker still profits.”
“The last order is the Gu King taking action himself. What do you think, will it fail?”
“Who knows, if it were before, I would definitely think Lin Dong had no chance to live. But he has already created miracles, so what’s stopping him from making another miracle happen?”
“The Gu King has posted, saying he will take action himself. Let’s just wait and see.”
