At this moment, beneath the walls of Blackstone City.

One head after another was thrown down from the city wall by the people. Heads fell in droves, raining down on the ground and quickly piling up into several small mounds.

Standing on the city wall, Yan Pojun shouted loudly at the dark figure in the distance, "Shi Haojun! We have slaughtered everyone from Black Moon City inside the city, leaving not a single one alive!"

You should be able to hear my thoughts and know that what I say is true.

"Now that all your enemies have been eliminated, for the sake of your own kind in the city, and for the sake of my friendship with you, could you spare Blackstone City?"

However, the dark figure in the distance stood there quietly, motionless and without uttering a word.

Shi Haojun stared blankly at a certain spot in the city, a nostalgic look in his eyes, as if recalling something, without any intention of replying.

Seeing this, Yan Pojun's heart sank.

As expected, killing everyone in Black Moon City did not make him retreat.

Although he had anticipated this outcome and was mentally prepared for it.

But the failure of this only somewhat hopeful plan made his face turn grim.

"Are you really that heartless? Are you determined to slaughter everyone in Blackstone City?"

"There are so many cities nearby, are you going to slaughter them all?"

"You know it will take you a long time to conquer Blackstone City, so why bother with the toughest nut to crack?"

Yan Pojun placed his hands on the city wall and continued shouting loudly, unwilling to give up.

He was as sarcastic as ever, even planning to distract Shi Haojun by having him slaughter other cities.

At this moment, Shi Haojun's lips slowly curled up, and he finally spoke, "A tough nut to crack? Not necessarily."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of corpses on the ground suddenly stood up unsteadily, looked fiercely in the direction of Blackstone City, and let out inhuman roars.

Seeing this, Yan Pojun's scalp tingled with fear.

In today's great battle, a large number of Gu King died outside, and now all of those dead Gu King have turned into Plague Corpse.

Yan Pojun was completely numb at this moment.

Good heavens, another huge group of Plague Corpse at the Gu King level has appeared; this is going to be deadly.

They couldn't defeat Shi Haojun before, and now the number of Gu King in the city has decreased sharply again, while Shi Haojun has gained a large number of Gu King helpers, so it's even more impossible for them to win.

How can this Plague Demon Gu be so ridiculously powerful? Is there no limit to the number of those things?

Yan Pojun clenched his fists, his face extremely grim.

At this moment, a group of geniuses from the Long Family gathered in a grand hall at the Long Family Estate.

There were about fifty people in total, all of whom were the most outstanding geniuses of the Long Family family.

The first group the Long Family planned to relocate consisted of the clan's most talented geniuses. They were the clan's future hope, and none of them could be lost. To be on the safe side, they had to leave tonight.

The group of geniuses whispered among themselves, wondering why the patriarch had summoned them here.

Only two geniuses, Long Ruoxue and Long Biao, knew the secret of the Spatial House.

The Spatial House had only been in place for a short time, and it was kept completely secret from the Lineage's higher-ups. Apart from the two of them, the other geniuses had no idea that this Thatch Gu House in the center of the main hall actually had the ability to teleport living people.

When Long Ruoxue saw the grand hall, she already knew why her Lineage had summoned them, and her heart sank.

Clearly realizing that the situation in the city had deteriorated to an extreme degree, the Lineage was already making worst-case scenario plans.

In contrast to her expression, Long Biao's face was full of joy, as if he couldn't wait to rush in and leave immediately.

Unable to control himself, he immediately told the other geniuses about the secret of the Spatial House Spatial House, knowing that his Lineage was not going to hide it from them.

The other geniuses finally understood why their Lineage had summoned them to this grand hall.

Long Dan's eyes immediately lit up. He had just been pessimistic and desperate about the situation in Blackstone City, but unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared, and he realized that he still had a chance to live. He clenched his fists excitedly.

Long Xuan was already mentally prepared, so he remained completely calm. He walked up to Long Dan and said, "Brother Dan, now that we've reached the Far West Long Family, we're brothers. Could you tell me how to control Shi Haojun?"

Long Xuan shamelessly approached, as he was extremely wary of Shi Haojun's abilities and wanted to take the opportunity to ask Long Dan about ways to counter Shi Haojun.

After the Limit Gu broke through its limits, Long Dan's Evil Dragon Emperor Eye can now see through the flaws in almost all abilities in this world.

That's why Long Xuan came to him to ask for advice on how to restrain Shi Haojun, in order to prepare for the future.

Long Dan glanced at him, knowing he was a genius on par with himself, highly valued by his Lineage. She then abandoned her arrogance and readily replied, "My cultivation level is too low; I can't discern much."

"The only way I know to control my Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is to not think about anything. He won't overhear things you haven't thought about."

"Or your soul power might be stronger than his, making you immune to his ability to eavesdrop on your thoughts, but that's absolutely impossible for you."

"There are many ways to counter the Plague Demon Gu, but the only ones that can be called natural counters are probably the Tribulation Lightning, which can counter all demonic Gu Insect, and the Purification Gu. Perhaps the fields related to poison and fire can also be used."

"There's almost nothing in the Western Land that can counter him; at most, it's a minor counter. If Yan Pojun hadn't self-destructed three Spirit Flame today, annihilating the vast majority of microorganisms and Plague Corpse in the air, all the Gu King in the city would have perished in that battle."

"I can tell you definitively that if we can't find something to counter him, then Shi Haojun is unkillable, no matter how many people come."

"Only by finding a way to restrain him can we hope to kill him." Long Dan looked at Long Xuan with an extremely solemn expression, his tone filled with apprehension.

"As for his other dozen or so supreme-grade Gu worm made of level ten thousand materials, I won't go into detail about how to control them."

"Because if you don't have a way to control the Plague Demon Gu and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, then even if you know how to control those dozen or so supreme-grade Gu worm, it won't be of any use." Long Dan gave him a deep look.

Long Xuan nodded, making sure he remembered his words.

"Now it depends on whether Gu Emperor City can come up with a way to restrain Shi Haojun. If Gu Emperor City has what I've mentioned, and more than one of them."

"If Blackstone City can hold out for a while longer, the crisis of its destruction can be averted, and it's even possible that Shi Haojun wiped out."

"Conversely, if the Gu Emperor City cannot come up with a way to restrain Shi Haojun, then they will be in big trouble."

"Not only will Blackstone City be destroyed, but the entire Western Land and even the entire Gu World will be plunged into chaos and death."

"Don't worry! Gu Emperor City has ways to restrain Shi Haojun, Blackstone City won't perish." Long Yuanshan walked into the main hall and said immediately after hearing the two's conversation.

Upon seeing the patriarch enter, the crowd fell silent instantly, and no one spoke.

"I won't leave? At this critical moment of life and death for my clan, how can I abandon them and run away first? I will stay and vow to live and die with my Lineage!"

Long Ruoxue raised her head and shouted defiantly.

Although Long Dan wanted to escape as soon as possible, seeing that she had already said so, it wouldn't be right for him, as the leader of the Lineage's geniuses, not to speak up. So he could only bite the bullet and shout, "I'm not leaving either!"

"I will fight alongside my Lineage. If my family perishes, I will perish. I, Long Dan, will never live a life of dishonor."

Seeing that the two leading geniuses of the Lineage had spoken, the other geniuses echoed, "I'm not leaving either."

"I'm not leaving either!"

"We will live and die with our Lineage!"

Long Yuanshan's temples throbbed as he roared, "Nonsense! What good are you all doing here! Don't make pointless sacrifices!"

"Everyone must leave today! Those who disobey will be punished according to clan rules!"

"I have a lot of things to do today, I don't have time to waste with you guys, who wants to go first!"

After Long Yuanshan finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. No one dared to be the first to step forward, for doing so would imply that they were cowardly and would be met with disdain.

So most people, though anxious to leave, dared not take a step. For example, Long Biao was extremely anxious, fearing that the city would fall in an instant and he would not have time to escape. But seeing that everyone was not moving, he could only stand there unwillingly.

But Long Xuan was completely shameless; he had a thick skin and wasn't afraid of being ridiculed or dying.

"I'll do it!"

As Long Xuan spoke, he forcibly pulled Long Ziyan out of the crowd and then eagerly headed towards the Spatial House.

Since they weren't geniuses from the Western Land Long Family, the fact that the two of them were the first to leave meant they wouldn't be looked down upon.

With them taking the lead, the deadlock was broken, and Long Yuanshan didn't need to waste any more words.

Long Xuan first pushed Long Ziyan into the Spatial House. Inside, the Thatch Gu extended thin threads to entangle her and drag her to the deepest part of the Spatial House. Then, this living person disappeared into thin air, leaving everyone astonished.

Next was Long Xuan. Not long after Long Ziyan disappeared, the Thatch Gu reappeared. Long Xuan decisively crawled inside, completely disregarding the doghouse he had once mocked.

As the silken threads of the Thatch Gu entangled him, a smile crept onto Long Xuan's lips. After being away for so long, he could finally go home. He missed home, and began to miss his vast Medicine Garden Medicine Garden, the bees, the pavilion, the various wines and teas, the eggs...

He felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in a gray, hazy world.

This world was empty, like a chaotic state, a void, the whole world was gray and monochromatic.

He curiously surveyed this world called the Void Realm, but before he could do so for long, the Thatch Gu carried him swiftly through time. In less than a moment, his vision blurred, and he found himself in another doghouse.

Before he could even react, a pair of large hands reached in and dragged him out.

Long Xuan felt a sudden brightness before his eyes and found himself in another grand hall.

Before him stood a group of high-ranking members of the Far West Long Family, all smiling and looking at him.

The top leaders of the Far West Long Family were all present, and they came out together to welcome the return of the geniuses.

Welcome home to our genius!
