Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 201

Chapter 201 From Happy Events to Sad Events

. “Brother Jiang, you can’t do this!” Commander Mu, seeing his backer about to abandon him, rushed over, shouting.

Jiang Li then remembered that there was another commander named Mu in the Human Emperor Palace.

“The Human Emperor Palace only has five Fusion Stage cultivators. Without me, that’s four!”

“Thank you for teaching me that five minus one equals four,” Jiang Li said with heartfelt gratitude.

The Human Emperor Palace is a neutral organization. Once you join the Human Emperor Palace, you sever ties with your original faction.

Conversely, if a member of the Human Emperor Palace joins a certain faction, they automatically lose their membership.

Of course, there are always exceptions. Take Jiang Li, for example. If he announced that he was marrying into the Gu Clan, no one would think he was leaving the Human Emperor Palace to join the Gu Clan, but rather that the Gu Clan was joining the Human Emperor Palace.

“I’ve served the Human Emperor Palace! I shed blood for the Human Emperor! Brother Jiang, you must save me,”

Commander Mu said without a lie.

While the several Fusion Stage commanders of the Human Emperor Palace might seem unreliable, they were all veterans of the palace, having served the previous Human Emperor and risked their lives to defend against attacks from celestial demons, narrowly avoiding death.

“How could I marry a woman I’ve never met?” Commander Mu swore to the heavens. This was a lesson, and he would never again associate with low-level cultivators.

“You’re saying it as if our clan leader is ugly!” The high priest used his divine sense to construct an image of the Gu Clan’s leader: a beautiful woman with sculpted brown skin and a mature, womanly smile. “

Sorry, I won’t swear.” Commander Mu quickly retracted his oath.

“If we haven’t met, then we haven’t met. Everything is heaven’s will, and cultivators of our generation should follow it.” Commander Mu gritted his teeth and agreed to the marriage.

“According to the high priest, neither the clan leader nor my daughter appeared in the Gu Immortal Secret Realm. How did they become infected with the Love Gu?”

The high priest explained, “The Human Emperor may not know this, but Love Gu is difficult to cultivate and is a rare commodity for our Gu Clan. Therefore, the Gu Clan’s ancestral rules stipulate that the most outstanding women of their generation can cultivate Love Gu and use it to bind their lovers.”

“This shouldn’t be a problem. After all, it’s been years since anyone has been able to break through the final level of the Gu Immortal Secret Realm and obtain the ultimate reward.”

“Who would have thought that two would appear this time? Young friend Qin Luan was the first to pass the trial and obtain the Love Gu paired with my daughter, and Commander Mu was the second to pass the trial and obtain the Love Gu paired with the clan leader.”

“Then if someone else passes the final level, will there still be Love Gu?”

The high priest confirmed, “Yes, the most outstanding woman of our Gu Clan’s previous generation is still there.”

“Where is the clan leader?” Jiang Li used his spiritual sense but couldn’t find the image of the woman in the Gu Clan that matched the high priest’s description.

“She left the clan.”

“What?” Jiang Li suspected he had misheard.

“The clan leader said the Gu Clan would eventually emerge, and before that, they should investigate the outside world. With that, she left the Clan, and no one has been seen since. It’s been six months now.”

“Oh, I’m familiar with that. Your clan leader is just like our Palace Master, never staying in the Human Emperor Palace,” Commander Mu blurted out, a chill running down his spine.

He suddenly remembered that “our Palace Master” was right here.

“Jiang, Brother Jiang, that’s not what I meant,” Commander Mu said tremblingly.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m not angry.” Jiang Li patted Commander Mu’s shoulder with a smile. “I just wanted to see how the Fusion Stage would explode if we didn’t get married in ten days.”

Commander Mu suddenly realized. Regardless of marriage or the killing of the Love Gu, all of this required someone!

Now that the clan leader had disappeared, wasn’t he doomed?

Commander Mu was furious. These Gu Clan members were incredibly ruthless. They hadn’t even bothered to find the clan leader after he left the Clan.

We can still use the Telecommunication Talisman to contact the Human Emperor, but you have no other options?

“Haha, don’t worry.” Seeing Commander Mu’s restraining expression, the high priest laughed. “Before he left, the clan leader left behind a life-saving Gu and a location-control Gu. The life-saving Gu will ensure our clan leader’s safety, and the location-control Gu will allow us to locate him at any time.”

Commander Mu was still worried. He didn’t know much about Gu insects, and without seeing them, the high priest’s words alone weren’t convincing enough.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the clan leader’s bamboo house.”

The Gu tribe’s houses were two-story bamboo stilts, the stilts protecting them from moisture. The ground floor was usually uninhabited, used for raising poultry, while the upper floor was for living.

Arriving on the second floor, the high priest introduced them. “Look, this is the life-control Gu. It’s still alive, which means the clan leader is safe.”

“This is the location-control Gu. It’s also still alive. If we want, we can follow the insects to find the clan leader at any time.”

The high priest proudly displayed the Gu insects.

As he spoke, both Gu insects died simultaneously.

“!” “

!”

The high priest and Commander Mu nearly popped their eyes out.

“The clan leader is dead?!”

“I’m going to die?!”

They both blurted out, their words different, but both inferred from the scene before them.

Jiang Li blinked. How could this insect die so suddenly?

Just then, Commander Liu called out to Jiang Li, and Jiang Li connected the remote communication talisman.

“Palace Master, you asked me before how much money I would need to contribute to attend the wedding of your subordinates. Since there are very few commanders in our Human Emperor Palace who have gotten married, the most recent ones are Commanders Ma and Zhuo. But it has been hundreds of years, and considering the problem of inflation and the changes in the customs of Jiuzhou, I calculated that it would probably cost…”

“Oh, no need. The situation has changed. Prepare a banquet for the whole palace. You prepare a tombstone with better material and don’t be stingy with the spirit stones. It is for Commander Mu to use. The epitaph should read: More important than Mount Tai when alive, lighter than a feather when dead.”

“Also, although the Gu Clan has no relationship with the Human Emperor Palace, and Commander Mu did not marry the patriarch of the Gu Clan, there is still a friendship between them as an engaged couple. When the Gu Clan is born in the future, we must take care of it to comfort Commander Mu’s spirit in heaven.”

Commander Liu looked at Commander Mu who was still alive standing aside, wrote down Jiang Li’s words, and hung up the communication symbol.

“Okay, stop being so dumbfounded. This isn’t as serious as you think,” Jiang Li said with a smile. He was just joking with Commander Liu.

Even Commander Liu, with his intelligence, could tell he was joking and wouldn’t actually prepare these things.

“If the Gu Clan leader truly died, Commander Mu would explode. How could nothing have happened yet?”

Even if Jiang Li didn’t understand Gu insects, he understood the Gu Immortal’s thinking.

The Gu Immortal must have cultivated the Love Gu to be linked to the host’s life. Otherwise, if someone wasn’t satisfied with the Gu Immortal’s forced marriage, wouldn’t they have killed the woman?

If the Clan leader died, the Love Gu within her would also die.

With one Love Gu dead, the other would activate its Gu technique, causing the host to explode and die.

Commander Mu’s survival meant the Clan leader was still alive.

The High Priest and Commander Mu were momentarily nervous and didn’t react. Jiang Li, an outsider, reacted the moment the two insects died.

The High Priest, a member of the Gu Clan, also reacted.

“The clan leader should still be alive, but he’s been trapped by a spell that’s supposed to be imprisoning or killing the insects. That’s why the two insects died.”

Ordinary insects wouldn’t be in this situation, but these two are special. Their lives are completely dependent on their master. If the master doesn’t provide them with energy, they will die immediately.
