GuGu's body trembled slightly at Bai Rouxi's question.
Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, his face ashen as all eyes fell on him.
His lips quivered, struggling to form words.
He was cornered.
But this excites him.
He no longer have to act now.
Thus,
"Muahahaha...."
With an eerie calm, he took a deep breath and suddenly laughed.
A slow, chilling chuckle echoed in the air, sending shivers through everyone present.
"Poison her?" GuGu repeated, his tone shifting from panic to something else.
Was he amused?
"Oh, Young Miss Bai... You really think I acted alone?"
Bai Rouxi's pupils shrank.
What the actual thing is going on here?
Zhao Fan's gaze sharpened at GuGu.
His body tensed slightly.
This was the peak void realm cultivator, fighting head-on would be worse.
Plus there is no chance of winning.
Ningxue narrowed her eyes, prepared to strike at a moment's notice.
...
GuGu slowly rose to his feet.
He was still kneeling.
But!!! Now, he was no longer groveling.
His posture was calm, and dignified.
Tall and proud.
And his aura changed.
The air around him twisted, rippling unnaturally.
A green mist appeared on his body.
Space itself seemed to distort around him.
It wasn't just void energy.
It was something far worse, something like a necromancer.
This was bad, someone dead was among them, looking perfectly fine but no one noticed?
Bai Family, within these days were looking for an opportunity and some hours ago came here.
Bai Rouxi couldn't help but panic.
Was he dead from before? Just what kind of necromancy was this?
Then, before anyone could react...
CRACK!
A gruesome sound echoed as GuGu's own skull snapped backward unnaturally.
His entire body twisted grotesquely, his spine contorting as if something inside him was forcefully breaking free.
A second later,
His face was no longer his own.
The skin on his cheeks bulged, shifting as if something wriggled beneath.
His eyes darkened, void-like shadows swirling within them.
His lips peeled into an unnatural grin, splitting wider than any human should be able to.
This feels like those monsters drawn by mentally ill person.
Then, in a voice that sent a primal chill through the bones of everyone present, GuGu spoke.
"I was merely a vessel."
Bai Rouxi staggered back, her breath caught in her throat.
"W-What...?!"
...
Ningxue, at the side, had her fingers tightened around her weapon, her instincts telling her to end it.
...
Meanwhile,
Zhao Fan remained calm.
But his eyes burned with an icy glint.
"Something or someone has taken over him..."
His words were steady, but the weight behind them was terrifying, trying to tell that someone might from the demonic clan or devil worshippers had taken control over him.
Swoosh!
A darkness more ancient than anyone here had ever faced slithered into existence.
GuGu, or, whatever he had become, tilted his head unnaturally, full 360°, three times.
....
What exactly was GuGu hiding?
Was this truly an assassination attempt? Or was something far more sinister at play?
Why did this entity target him specifically?
Was the Bai Family involved, or were they just pawns in something bigger?
Was this a means to let him anger Bai Clan? Was he, simply a borrowed knife?
Or perhaps, someone was also testing him.
Using the smallest strings to orchestrate such a grand plan?
Maybe they wanted to see how deep was he?
Zhao Fan had too many questions in his head.
Was this guy just a puppet?
No, this guy was definitely alive.
But the strange confidence on him gave a strange feeling, perhaps it was a mind control or body possession?
Looking at the monstrous yet disgusting look of GuGu, Zhao Fan looked at Ningxue.
"This Zhao seeks assistance from senior, if possible can you strike his heart with a single strike without using full power? I will Owe you one,"
Hearing this, Ningxue looked dumbfounded.
Shouldn't we try to kill this thing as soon as possible?
However, since, Zhao Fan, said he would owe her, she decided to do it.
She also wants an array in her courtyard.
"Hmm!" she nodded.
She took a stance, her sword that appeared out of thin air, glowing with a killing light.
Pfft!
She stabbed the sword to its heart.
The green mist couldn't defend against the powerful sword aura.
Breaking the defensive layer, the sword struck the heart.
Thud!
Just like that, GuGu fell to the snow ground, completely lifeless.
"Eh!?"
"What!?"
"Just like that?"
Even Ye Chen was shocked at the scene and couldn't help but look weirdly at Zhao Fan
What was this?
Few were confused however, few who have seen the world immediately understood.
The heart controlling Gu.
A mother and kin spiritual insect, where the mother gu can control the person with kin gu.
But who is the master at controlling Gu?
That would definitely be the Gu family.
Was Gu family planning something grand?
...
'Hmm, things are getting interesting, the title of number 1 genius isn't for free as people constantly try to test the depth. But was Gu family behind this?
That's most unlikely as they don't have such necromancy skis to kill GuGu, and use some strong magic to turn it into a monster for Gu to control it.
It feels like even the name of the Gu family is borrowed. To use so many people as a stringed puppet including me, just who is this,'
Zhao Fan sits peacefully and thinks logically.
