Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World

Chapter 205: Chapter 124: Turmoil of Civil Strife!_2

”Jingang, you...”

Gu Changming’s expression changed dramatically as he suddenly felt the Qi Blood Power within him become inexplicably sluggish, refusing to obey his commands. It became ten, a hundred times more difficult than usual to mobilize it, and his muscles and bones started to ache and swell!

Gu Dajiang felt the same.

”Gu Jingang, you actually poisoned us!”

Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they looked at Gu Jingang like he was a stranger, the Iron Fist Jingang they had known who was always so hearty and righteous was no more.

At this moment, Gu Jingang’s expression was devoid of joy or sorrow.

”This is Blood-locking Pills, which I mixed into the food and drinks, and now the medicine has taken effect. For the next 24 hours, you won’t be able to use your Qi Blood Power.”

”What do you want to do?”

Gu Changming shouted.

Gu Jingang turned his head, his face extraordinarily indifferent, sneering as he said:

”What do I want to do? What do you think? Since the clan elders don’t trust me, let’s make them get what they deserve! Changming, Dajiang, you, as the main house’s scions, are afraid of being ridiculed after death. I, Gu Jingang, am not!”

”Gu’s Manor shouldn’t be like this now, relying on others, how can it survive? I need strong power, and Gu’s Manor needs a stronger person to control it!”

Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang were furious beyond compare.

”You want to kill the clan elders and take over Gu’s Manor?!”

Gu Jingang shook his head and laughed:

”You’ve made me out to be too ruthless. How can I say Gu’s Manor has been kind to me? Although the clan elders are annoying, they don’t deserve to die. I’ll just find them a place to settle down for their remaining years.”

He clasped his hands behind his back and turned to leave.

”You two just rest here well; after everything is resolved, I’ll come back and discuss with you how Gu’s Manor should survive.”

Gu Jingang strode forward, ignoring the angry curses from the two behind him.

As he walked out of the courtyard, a woman in a purple dress made him stop, having evidently been there for quite some time.

Gu Jingang’s expression became somewhat complicated.

”Yuhuan, I...”

The woman’s eyes were full of affection as she reached out, gently stroking Gu Jingang’s face, and said:

”Yuhuan only knows that my husband has endured too many grievances over the years. Don’t worry about me, husband, just do what you want to do. Brother Changming and Brother Dajiang will stay at our home and won’t interfere with you.”

Gu Jingang’s heart surged with infinite emotion as he pulled his wife tightly into his embrace.

”Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you. Once the turmoil in Canghe County is over, I’ll take you all away.”

”Yes!”

Gu Yuhuan nodded resolutely, gazing blankly at Gu Jingang’s back before starting to arrange things at home.

In the courtyard.

Gu Changming and Gu Dajiang had calmed down. Neither of them intended to resist or escape, knowing that since Gu Jingang had come this far, he must have thought through everything thoroughly without leaving any loopholes.

Gu Changming sighed long and weary:

”We’ve really underestimated Jingang; he’s endured for a full month for today.”

Gu Dajiang didn’t reply. After a while, he suddenly said:

”Gu Changming, you’ve known about the Blood-locking Pills for a long time, haven’t you?”

Gu Changming was instantly stunned and turned to see Gu Dajiang staring at him angrily, his eyes twitching, ultimately muttering silently:

”That’s right, I’ve felt that Jingang wasn’t wrong. Although the clan elders have the clan’s best interest at heart, they’re indeed not fit to hold power anymore; Gu’s Manor needs to advance...”

Gu Dajiang angrily said:

”So you let Jingang do it? You’re a main house descendant, afraid of bearing infamy, while Jingang is a farmer’s son, without burdens? Have you considered Yuhuan, considered Jingang’s child?”

”Gu Changming, you’re truly despicable!”

It dawned on him afterward that Gu Changming, being cautious and wise, wouldn’t have been so easily poisoned by Gu Jingang.

Gu Changming also got a bit irritated, suppressing his anger as he said:

”What could I have done? Fight to the death with Jingang, then see Gu’s Manor cease to exist?!”

”Yes, I’m despicable, but Jingang is the most suitable choice. If you or I did it, wouldn’t we be afraid of being scorned behind our backs?”

In the main house, the bloodline is entangled, and many clan elders are their uncles or even of higher generations.

Gu Dajiang fell silent.
