Tang Yan kept his eyes tightly shut. Within his Sea of Consciousness, his miniature self curiously examined the "Gu insect" before him.
Having received the inheritances of several mighty experts, he was now widely knowledgeable and recognized it as the Gu Race's Heart-Control Gu. Once implanted in someone's mind, it could control their thoughts.
When cultivated to a more profound level, a Heart-Control Gu could grow into a Soul-Thought Gu.
Discovering that the Heart-Control Gu was within his control, Tang Yan guided Flying Thunder to step forward.
"Great Guardian, why did you attack President Jiang?" Flying Thunder asked, aghast.
Sunken Whale looked calm, as though he had done something utterly trivial. He said flatly, "The fact that she defected from the Pill Alliance shows how restless she is at heart.
"In her mind, she merely has a cooperative relationship with the Divine Clan. She has no loyalty to us and could leave at any moment.
"With such an unstable factor beside us, and our identities as members of the Divine Clan so sensitive, how could I rest easy without making her completely obedient?
"Besides, the Divine Pills Association's appetite is too large.

"This is the Gu Race's Sixth Elder, Di Chan. This is our Gold Envoy, Flying Thunder," Sunken Whale introduced them.
"So you're Elder Di Chan. My apologies for not recognizing you!" Flying Thunder cupped his hands in greeting.
"No need to stand on ceremony, Gold Envoy." Di Chan put on no airs and responded amiably.
