Was It Really a Curse?

Gu Master's smile froze instantly, and his brows furrowed.

That's impossible. According to the principles of the Immortal Devouring Gu, this is exactly the characteristic. You must know that the Patriarch You was once at the half-step Immortal King Realm, but now he has regressed to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. That means the Immortal Devouring Gu must have grown quite a bit.

Judging from the characteristics of the Immortal Devouring Gu, these features become more pronounced the stronger the Immortal Devouring Gu. Does this mean the Immortal Devouring Gu is actually quite weak?

Gu Master had never actually seen the Immortal Devouring Gu; he had only heard of it from books. He looked thoughtful, then asked:

Do you ever feel dizzy from time to time?

You Mo shook his head. "No."

If there were any distinguishing features, how could he not notice them? After all, he was a cultivator at the half-step Immortal King level. The key point was that he felt no discomfort at all and could not find any breakthrough.

This...

Gu Master's expression turned completely ugly. He had described almost all the characteristics of Immortal Devouring Gu, and these were already among the few detectable features.

But soon, he thought of something else.

After being infected with the Immortal Devouring Gu, one's thoughts become confused.

Is it possible that You Mo's thoughts are not quite right now, which is why he answered no? In reality, his condition is already very bad, and the Immortal Devouring Gu has even begun to take control of his body?

Gu Master's expression was rather unpleasant. You Mo saw him like this, his initial feeling of relief vanished, and his mood became heavy again.

Gu Master said, "It seems the Immortal Devouring Gu has already had a significant impact. I can't guarantee I can remove it; I can only give it a try."

The solution he learned was to address the situation before the Immortal Devouring Gu merged with its Host.

If the Immortal Devouring Gu absorbs too much of You Mo's Immortal Energy and Essence Blood, causing it to merge with him, then he will be basically powerless to stop it.

Upon hearing this, You Mo was greatly alarmed. "Then we'll have to trouble Gu Master."

Gu Master approached You Mo and gestured for him to sit down. Then, he raised his hand and took out three Scarlet Golden Needles, from which flowed intense heat. The Immortal Devouring Gu was considered an extremely yin substance, but it was not a very large yang substance.

Because you simply can't find him.

Therefore, special methods are needed to force it out.

The Gu Master inserted three golden needles into You Mo's shoulder, left arm, and right thigh respectively.

These three golden needles were made from a special kind of Gu, making them incredibly hard, comparable to many divine weapons. They were also Pure Yang Item. Due to their high temperature, after the golden needles were inserted into the three points, a wave of heat surged through his body, causing him to feel pain and discomfort.

My whole body felt like it was on fire.

Gu Master thought he would soon get the result he wanted, but after inserting three golden needles into You Mo's body, he still did not see the changes described in the book.

Normally, the Immortal Devouring Gu would be unable to withstand this extreme yang power and would begin to struggle and break free from You Mo's body.

But why was there no warning at all?

What exactly is going on?

Gu Master began to feel anxious. Could it really be as that kid said, some kind of curse?

That shouldn't be the case!

The Cursing Arts had long been extinct; no curses had appeared for many years, and yet this one was aimed at a cultivator at the half-step Immortal King level.

He had naturally heard about curses as well.

Seeing that he hadn't changed at all, You Mo raised his head with a somewhat serious expression. "Gu Master... does this mean I'm not under the influence of Gu?"

As the head of the family, he naturally saw many things on the Gu Master's face, even though he didn't say a word.

Gu Master fell silent, but the more he remained silent, the more uneasy You Mo felt.

Finally, Gu Master took a deep breath.

"This... it is indeed not the Immortal Devouring Gu. It seems I guessed wrong. The golden needle's crafting technique is special, capable of suppressing all Insect Gu. However, even so, it still cannot force it out. If it were a Gu, it would be far beyond my ability to resolve."

His words sounded quite assertive.

In fact, the Gu Master was already certain that You Mo's body was not afflicted by Gu, but rather there were other possibilities.

"Gu Master, why don't you take another look..."

Beside her, You Lin spoke up with a somewhat anxious expression, her eyes filled with worry.

Gu Master shook his head helplessly. "It's definitely not a Gu poisoning. There's no need for further examination. Since the matter hasn't been resolved, I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he realized he had misjudged the situation and didn't say anything more. So he cupped his hands in apology, turned around, and left the You Family.

You Mo, who was originally overjoyed, suddenly turned ashen-faced and felt utterly desperate.

Am I still going to die?

You Mo had imagined countless ways to die, such as being ambushed or killed by his Enemies. He had thought of all sorts of ways to die, but he never imagined such a humiliating way to die.

There were absolutely no signs.

His condition is getting worse every day, and he lives in despair and pain Tiandu, which is extremely agonizing for him.

He wished that the one causing him trouble was a powerful figure who could slap him to death; that would be much better than being left hanging like this.

At the same time, You Mo couldn't understand who was trying to frame him.

When You Lin saw the Gu Master leave, her expression betrayed her deep sorrow. Her mother had passed away early, and the two sisters had relied on You Mo since childhood, sharing a very close bond with him. How could she not be heartbroken now that something like this had happened to You Mo?

Suddenly, You Lin remembered the young man from before, who said that her father was cursed and knew how to remove it.

Thinking of this, hope rekindled in her despair.

They arrived at the place where Su Chen had been before, but there was no one there anymore.

It's over!

You Lin's expression faltered. She looked around, trying to find Su Chen, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

Su Chen is now her father's only lifeline.

You Lin immediately returned to the You Family and told You Mo about what had happened that day.

After listening, You Mo felt both angry and somewhat helpless. Although based on what You Lin said, there was a chance that Su Chen was lying, there was still a glimmer of hope. What if he could actually help her?

As a result, You Sen was kicked out immediately!

Damn it!

You Mo was furious, but as a senior Elder of the You Family, You Sen couldn't say much to blame him.

"Quickly, send word to everyone in the You Family. That person shouldn't have gone far. Use all available resources to find him."

The You Family already held a prestigious reputation in Flowing Cloud City, and this move immediately Western Domain the attention of the entire city, sparking countless speculations, especially among those who had previously met Su Chen.

"Could that person really possess some special ability? Otherwise, why would they be being searched for throughout the entire city?"

"I have a relative in the You Family. I heard from them that the Patriarch You's illness was originally diagnosed by this... master, who said it was some kind of curse. The eldest daughter of the You Family was even planning to bring that master back to the You Family to take a look, but then a Gu Master suddenly appeared and chased the guy away, confidently saying that the Patriarch You was cursed. But after the investigation, it turned out he wasn't cursed, and he slunk away."

"No wonder the You Family suddenly wanted to find that master; so that's why. It seems we misjudged him; he really is a reclusive master?"
