144: Chapter 144 Gu Family Reputation! You'll have to compensate us for our butterflies!
The Cultivators from those Small Worlds stood outside the light wall, discussing the decree amongst themselves.
"The Gu Family? Which Gu Family? I've never heard of them!"
"Are you stupid? They said this was spoils of war, so it must be the Gu Family that wiped out those three Realms!"
"Damn, just how strong is this Gu Family? The Xutian Realm, Cangling Realm, and Mo Realm—three Realms wiped out just like that?!"
"They must be existences we can't afford to offend. Let's go, let's go! Don't look anymore, or you might lose your life!"
"Exactly. A single decree from them was enough to block us out. If they really wanted to deal with us, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have time to react!"
Some people started leaving, while others remained where they were.
Their gazes crossed over that wall of light, as if trying hard to commit that name to memory!
A plainly dressed Cultivator in the crowd spoke up, "The Gu Family? I know them!"
Several people around him turned their heads to look at him simultaneously!
"It's the Gu Family from our Desolate Ancient Continent! I saw with my own eyes that they have several Great Emperors presiding over them! Even if you combined the experts from those three Realms, they wouldn't be worth a single finger of the Gu Family!"
"I once took a breath of Spiritual Qi outside the Gu Family's Mountain Gate and had a Breakthrough of a small Realm on the spot! If only back then... Sigh! I didn't have the fate for it!"
He didn't finish his sentence, merely shaking his head!
The crowd went quiet for a moment, then exploded like ignited gunpowder!
"Several Great Emperors? A small Family has several Great Emperors?"
"Are you kidding me, brother? Are you teasing me? A Family like this is still considered a small Family?!"
"Those three Realms combined aren't worth a single finger of theirs? Just how terrifying must their strength be?!"
"A single breath of Spiritual Qi outside their Mountain Gate allows for a Breakthrough? What kind of place is this? Is it a fairyland?"
The news spread faster than the wind!
After the people from those Small Worlds dispersed, many returned to their own factions, and the first thing they did was issue orders: "In the future, if you encounter anyone from the Gu Family, take a detour! Stay as far away as possible!"
"Notify all Disciples and clansmen: it is forbidden to offend the Gu Family while outside!"
Even if some of them couldn't leave, who's to say the Gu Family wouldn't come to your Realm?
Therefore, they had to make it known that the Gu Family must not be offended!
Their tones varied, but the meaning was the same!
This Gu Family must not be provoked!!
Just as the Gu Family's Disciples were busy moving supplies!
The Canglan Dao Realm!
Deep within a forest of Yao Beasts!
Several figures were lying in the grass, their postures uniform as they stuck their butts in the air!
Their heads were lowered, breaths held, like a team of well-trained scouts!
At the very front were Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua!
Behind them, in order, were the White Tiger and six other Peak Quasi-Emperor Yao Beasts. They had all transformed into human form, some crouching and some lying down, keeping their breathing to an absolute minimum!
They seemed to be waiting for something here!
These two little girls were bored at the Gu Family estate, and upon seeing a butterfly in the Gu Family's backyard, they wanted it!
So they made the White Tiger find them a butterfly Yao Beast.
Although the White Tiger was helpless, he couldn't disobey these two little princesses, so while traveling through dozens of Realms, he finally found a beautiful and reasonably powerful butterfly Yao Beast in the Canglan Dao Realm!
And so, the two little girls were crouching in the grass with a group of top-tier Yao Beasts!
The White Tiger, who could clearly wipe out the entire forest with a single slap, had to be as careful as an ordinary person!
There was just no helping it!
"Shh!"
Gu Qingqing raised a finger without turning her head.
"Keep it down, it's about to come out!"
The North Dragon King was just about to nod when his nose suddenly itched, and a sneeze rushed up his throat!
He instinctively covered his mouth, forcing the sneeze back in, letting out a muffled groan.
Oh no!!
No sooner said than done!
Gu Huahua turned her head sharply and slapped him on the forehead!
"I told you to be quiet! If you scare it away, I'm holding you responsible!"
The North Dragon King shrank his neck, covered his mouth, and nodded repeatedly, not daring to even breathe loudly!
He, the dignified North Dragon King, at the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm with a true Dragon Bloodline, looked like a little brother who had made a mistake!
So pitiful, so humble, wuwuwu!!
He wanted to go home and find his mommy!
Beside him, the Nether Cat Queen glanced at him, her gaze calm; she was already used to this!
"Quick, quick, it's coming out!"
Gu Qingqing lowered her voice, her gaze landing on the patch of grass in front of them!
In front, a pale purple butterfly landed on a giant petal, its wings opening and closing slightly, with a faint, shimmering luster along the edges!
The Spiritual Qi fluctuations on the butterfly were very pure; it was the kind of Yao Beast born with spirituality, much stronger than those Peak Quasi-Emperor Yao Beasts!
And it was also a Great Emperor-level Yao Beast!
But how would the two little girls know that? As long as they knew the Yao Beast was pretty, that was enough!
Gu Huahua whispered, "Wait until it flies to those flowers over there before you guys make a move!"
She pointed at the six Peak Quasi-Emperor Yao Beasts.
The six were startled?
They were all a bit incredulous?
Us?
Go fight a Great Emperor?
Really?
"White Tiger, watch its escape route. Don't let it run into the forest!"
The White Tiger lay at the very back and nodded.
Although it only needed a single thought to trap the butterfly in place, since the two little girls said they wanted to catch it themselves, it could only accompany them by lying in the grass!
The butterfly flew slowly toward the flower patch!
The two little girls were ready to command them to make a move at any moment!
Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the forest, followed by several figures rushing out. Leading them was an old man, followed by several young Disciples!
They held nets and cages in their hands, their gazes locked straight onto the butterfly!
"Quick! It's there! Don't let the Butterfly King run away! The Grand Elder has already crippled it, now is the time to close the net!"
The old man pointed, and the Disciples immediately scattered, surrounding the butterfly!
The butterfly was startled, flapping its wings violently, and a purple light swept across the grass!
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the depths of the forest!
Wuwuwu!!!
Why did the butterfly disappear!!
Gu Qingqing's hand paused in mid-air; she froze for two seconds, then stood up!
Gu Huahua stood up too!
The two were extremely angry. They had been crouching for so long, and just when they finally had an opportunity, these people had scared it away!
"What are you doing?" Gu Qingqing's voice wasn't loud, but her tone was not good!
The Disciples were startled by the group of people suddenly popping out of the grass and took half a step back, "Who are you?"
Gu Qingqing didn't answer his question, "My butterfly was scared away by you! You must compensate for our butterfly!"
The old man glanced at Gu Qingqing and Gu Huahua, his gaze not lingering too long, "You two little girls, don't delay our important business! We discovered this Butterfly King first. Our Grand Elder personally attacked and injured it, and we chased it for three days before catching up here!"
"If you delay us, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
