Black Moon City

The ancestor's words left the group of the Long Family Gu cultivators in awe.

Gu Recipe containing tens of millions of ingredients—it's terrifying! Does such an exaggerated Gu Recipe really exist? It's hard to imagine how powerful Gu Recipe formula with this many ingredients could be. Everyone was astonished.

Long Yuanshan sighed, "We must prepare for the worst in this kind of situation. Regardless of whether Shi Haojun cultivated Forbidden Gu Forbidden Gu not, we must treat him as if he has, and make thorough preparations in advance."

"Judging from the current situation, Shi Haojun clearly harbors ill intentions towards Blackstone City, but we have already uncovered his plot. With no one in the city affected by the Gu poison, can we defeat Shi Haojun?"

Long Yuanshan looked at the ancestor with a serious gaze and said very solemnly.

Long Yuan gave a wry smile, "Whenever someone who refines Forbidden Gu slaughters a city, they always face a bunch of people of the same level. And what happens? They can take on a whole group and still slaughter the city."

"Have you forgotten the story I just told you? At its peak, the Demon Heaven Cult was a force that could fight against the entire world. If human wave tactics were effective, the Demon Heaven Cult would have been wiped out by the world long ago."

"The number of Gu Insect materials in the tens of millions far exceeds your imagination. They are already severely excessive, so strong that it's unreasonable. The gap can no longer be bridged simply by numerical superiority. Once the Mutation Domain is activated, how many people can be effective?"

"We have already missed the best opportunity to deal with Shi Haojun."

"If I'm not mistaken, when he first came to Blackstone City to auction Living Wood, the Plague Demon Gu hadn't yet completed its third stage of transformation, and it desperately needed a large amount of blood."

"At this time, although he was still very strong, he was far from possessing the exaggerated fighting power to single-handedly take on an entire city."

"Therefore, he needs to lure the Gu King of Black Moon City away so that he can take the opportunity to massacre the city."

"Because of our selfish motives, he succeeded in massacring the city and obtained a large amount of blood food, which caused the Plague Demon Gu to successfully transform into Variant Gu."

"At this point, he was no longer afraid of the vast number of Gu King and dared to attack Blackstone City."

"Don't be complacent. If he wasn't confident in his own strength, he wouldn't have attacked Blackstone City. Since he chose to make a move, he must be confident in destroying Blackstone City. No one fights a battle they're not sure of winning."

"A tough battle is definitely on the horizon. I don't know if Blackstone City can survive this calamity, but even if we do manage to weather this crisis, we'll likely suffer heavy losses."

Long Yuan sighed heavily, then suddenly looked at Long Wanli and said, "Blackstone City is about to change. You must tell the city lord this as soon as possible, and also tell everyone in the city not to drink the water from the Black River."

"It's already late at night, so there shouldn't be many people using water. If the rescue is timely, not many people will die. We need their strength to deal with Shi Haojun together. Don't be tempted to let them lose more strength."

"Also! Immediately prepare water. We can get as much water as possible directly from the Far West Long Family. The city will definitely face a water shortage crisis soon."

Long Wanli nodded and immediately ordered his men to make the arrangements.

The night was as dark as ink, and utterly silent.

Inside a courtyard, a beautiful woman stood in front of the door, craning her neck as if waiting for her husband's return.

As a handsome figure entered the courtyard, she immediately smiled with joy and ran over happily. However, her steps were unsteady and she stumbled a few steps before falling. The figure quickly ran forward to help her up, showing a look of concern.

"You're already in this state and you're still trying to be strong. Don't go to that place again. You're not a savior; you can't save everyone."

Shi Haojun rolled up her sleeve and saw that her arm was covered with dense needle marks. He immediately showed anger, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Shi Rui quickly lowered her sleeves.

"Save as many as you can. We can't just stand by and watch people die. By the way, how's your investigation going? Have you found the source of the plague?" Shi Rui quickly changed the subject, looking up at him.

Upon hearing this, Shi Haojun's attention was indeed diverted, and he laughed smugly, "Who am I? With me personally handling the case, what case can't I solve?"

"What others couldn't find out, I just used my Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to quickly uncover the culprit."

"The source of this plague was a few tomb raiders who robbed a large tomb. Although they came out alive, they were contaminated with something terrible."

"This substance is lethal even to the Gu King, and it's contagious, spreading rapidly from one person to ten, then from ten to a hundred, covering the entire city in a very short time, with no cure."

"When I found them, they were already terminally ill and dying, so I didn't capture them alive."

"But I found a terrifying Gu Recipe in their storage ring. This Gu Recipe was brought out from that great tomb. Learning this Gu Recipe would grant me invincible power. I'm torn about whether or not I should refine this Gu."

Shi Haojun looked hesitant, his expression conflicted.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Shi Rui smiled gently and said, "A Gu Recipe Gu Recipe makes you so conflicted must have a lot of negative effects. Since it has a bad side, then don't refine it."

Shi Haojun was taken aback, then looked at the beauty in his arms. As if a knot had been untied, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Then I won't refine this kind of Gu Recipe."

"Even for the sake of this cute little thing inside, I shouldn't have touched such a dangerous Gu Recipe."

Shi Haojun brought his ear close to the woman's abdomen, revealing a loving gaze.

Shi Rui gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, a happy smile spreading across her face. She said, "I heard it's a girl. Why don't you give her a name now?"

"A daughter? A daughter is great, a daughter is even cuter, she's like a sweet little cotton-padded jacket. Then I'll give her a cute name, let's call her Shi Duo. Don't you think that's cute enough!"

"Okay! Then let's name our daughter Shi Duo. It's a very cute name," Shi Rui said happily.

Shi Haojun suddenly put the woman in his arms down, looked into the distance, and said seriously, his smile fading, "Those tomb raiders only looted a small part of that large tomb. I plan to go take another look."

"From what I overheard those tomb raiders, there was a Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine in the inner chamber of that large tomb. However, the inner chamber was extremely dangerous, and the tomb raiders suffered heavy losses, failing to take the treasure that guarded the tomb."

"Now that we know there's a Heaven-grade Spirit Medicine in the inner chamber of the great tomb, it would be a real shame not to take it."

"I plan to personally visit that tomb. The resources inside are beyond your imagination. Once I succeed, neither of us will ever have to worry about Cultivation Resources again for the rest of our lives."

"I'm afraid it will be quite a while before I can come back. You stay home and wait for me, take good care of yourself, and don't go anywhere."

Shi Haojun's eyes burned with fervor as he gazed ambitiously westward.

Upon hearing this, Shi Rui was not pleased but worried.

Great tombs are not so easy to rob. Just look at that incurable plague; this tomb must be fraught with danger, and anyone who enters will almost certainly die.

She didn't like Shi Haojun going on adventures, not at all. She was worried about losing him, and she would be filled with fear and unable to sleep well every day if he went.

Shi Rui didn't want resources that she could never use up in her lifetime; she only hoped that he could be 100% safe.

Her lips moved several times, but in the end she didn't say anything to dissuade her, "Then be careful, I'll wait for you at home."

"Yes!" Shi Haojun nodded solemnly to her, kissed her worried face, and said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't be in any danger on this trip. Who am I? I am Shi Haojun, I am invincible!"

"A mere little grave can't do anything to me. I'll definitely come back alive. I want to come back and see my little darling. I won't risk my life there. I'm leaving now. Wait for my good news."

After kissing the woman in front of him again, Shi Haojun turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Haojun..."

Shi Rui watched his retreating figure with concern, took a few steps forward, and then stopped.

Shi Haojun stopped, turned back to look at her, and smiled slightly, saying, "Wait for me to come back..."

After saying that, Shi Haojun finally hardened his heart and left.

Two months later.

"Shi Rui, I'm back, hahaha... We won't have to worry about resources for the rest of our lives, hahaha... Look what good things I brought back for you..."

Shi Haojun stepped into the courtyard again, but his laughter suddenly stopped, and his smile gradually froze on his face.

The beautiful and virtuous woman no longer eagerly awaited his return as usual.

Instead, the courtyard was hung with white silk, and an eye-catching coffin was placed in the center of the house with a large word "Dian" written on it.

His vision went black, and he was about to faint.

Where is Shi Rui Shi Rui?

He dared not imagine the thoughts swirling in his mind, clinging to a last glimmer of hope, and grabbed someone, loudly questioning them.

"Elder brother!"

The man suddenly pointed to a huge box on the table. Shi Haojun turned to look at the box, his hand trembling as he reached out and slowly lifted the lid.

When his gaze fell upon the box, his eyes widened in fury...

"No!!"

Shi Haojun suddenly sat up in bed, panting heavily, his face contorted in a terrifying grimace, his eyes bloodshot, radiating an incomparably terrifying killing intent.

It took him a long time to catch his breath. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was finally calm. He slowly got off the bed, pushed open the door, and walked outside.

However, when the door opened, what entered was not fresh air from outside, but a pungent, overwhelming smell of blood; the air was thick with the stench of blood.

He walked into the street, stepping over one corpse after another. The street was now littered with corpses, so many that they were impossible to count. Blood had already flowed like a river on the ground, staining the earth crimson.

The streets were littered with corpses, all with grotesque and terrifying expressions, as if they had suffered immense pain before their deaths.

And so, stepping over countless corpses, he slowly made his way toward the city gate.

The words "Black Moon City" are engraved in large characters above the city gate, making it particularly eye-catching.

At this moment, the three characters were also drenched in blood, making them appear exceptionally terrifying.
