Chapter 481: Chapter 479: The Intuition of a Gu Cultivator

Lin Tian didn’t need to turn around to know who was coming.

Still carrying Mr. Qi on his back, he turned to face the newcomer, his expression a mix of amusement and sarcasm, "Miss Li Yue, Granny Li, finding you two wasn’t easy at all. You disappeared all of a sudden. Can I call it deserting before the battle?"

Previously, Miss had donated three drops of Ancient Martial Artist’s blood, meaning money had exchanged hands for the deal. However, since Granny Li disappeared without a word, Lin Tian’s comment wasn’t unwarranted.

"Who said we deserted? Didn’t we leave you a note? We even told Xuanxuan," Li Yue retorted, always at odds with Lin Tian.

Li Qingyun, slightly apologetic, intervened, "Lin Tian, our sudden departure was indeed our fault first. We hope for your understanding."

Lin Tian wasn’t really angry. He understood Ning Luoxi’s actions; Li Qingyun was merely carrying out her mission. Then he said, "I understand, I was just joking earlier. We were able to leave the country so quickly thanks to Qi Dapeng’s arrangements; he was desperate to save his son and used a private plane. But why did you leave the country overnight?

"It’s a long story, let’s walk and talk," Li Qingyun suggested, then led the way to a South Ocean handicraft store.

Lin Tian and his group followed. Under Li Qingyun’s brief narration, Lin Tian finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.

After Ning Luoxi took Youzi away, she interrogated her, and Youzi was very cooperative, disclosing everything she knew to Ning Luoxi. Through Youzi, Ning Luoxi located her previously missing companion, who, however, was found unconscious.

Youzi said it was because Nan Jujun had used Gu Medicine on him, and only her master’s antidote could cure him, otherwise his life was in danger. Hence, Ning Luoxi urgently summoned Li Qingyun, who couldn’t figure out the antidote on her own and had to leave the country overnight in an attempt to find the master mentioned by Youzi.

Youzi only knew that her master was in Kyoto City, Japan, so Li Qingyun and the others rushed out of the country overnight.

"The situation is indeed very complicated; why didn’t Ning Luoxi bring me along?" Lin Tian asked.

"She said this mission was very dangerous. This time, she went abroad in a private capacity to save her companion and didn’t want to implicate you," Li Qingyun explained.

A Berserker like Ning Luoxi caring about others? Not letting me go abroad with her, but I came anyway, Lin Tian thought amusedly. He really wanted to spank her and teach her a lesson that dangerous situations should be handled by men.

Soon, Lin Tian and his group arrived at the South Ocean handicraft store. The door was locked, but Li Yue quickly managed to open it. The layout of the store was exactly the same as the one in Xikou City, even having a basement.

"Is it just the two of you dealing with the Gu Cultivator? Why isn’t Ning Luoxi here?" Lin Tian asked.

"Luoxi split up from us right after getting off the plane, saying she still had things to handle," Li Qingyun replied.

Still had things to take care of? Lin Tian paused and then realized, Ning Luoxi most likely went to procure weapons. The foreign arms market was more active, and it was said that one could even obtain a tank in the black market, provided you had the money.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "How will you find the opposing Gu Cultivator?"

"If you hadn’t come, locating the Gu Cultivator indeed would have been troublesome. But now that you’re here, it will be much easier. As soon as we administer the antidote to Mr. Qi, the master of the Soul-devouring Gu will react, possibly showing up to interfere. I have a gut feeling that the master behind both the Zombie Gu and the Soul-devouring Gu is the same Gu Cultivator, so our target aligns," Granny Li explained.

More than just being the same person, there was a good chance that the Gu Cultivator was a minion of the Sun Shadow Association, targeting the Xiao Family, Lin Tian thought derisively.

He said, "In that case, let’s take action immediately and start the antidote process before anything else happens."

"Administering the antidote won’t be simple and will definitely alert the master behind the Soul-devouring Gu. We’re in Chinese Street, a bustling area with many people. Once we engage with the Gu Cultivator, innocent bystanders might get hurt, so we need to choose another location," Li Qingyun explained.

"Where should we go?" Lin Tian asked.

"Follow me. Not far from here, there’s an old city district being prepared for renovation. It’s been evacuated; we can go there," Li Qingyun said, motioning for Li Yue to gather things from the basement.

Li Yue already had one package on her, and after returning from the basement, she carried an additional one, deftly managing the weight despite her slender frame. Moreover, the branch store also seemed to store items belonging to the Gu Cultivator.

Li Qingyun didn’t plan on explaining and took the lead out of the store, with Li Yue following her grandmother at a steady pace.

"Let’s go, sweetie," Xiao Manxuan also said.

After all that had happened, she no longer felt fear but rather a tingling excitement about the upcoming antidote process. Lin Tian watched helplessly—truly, they were a group for bold adventures.

He picked up Mr. Qi again and left the basement, this time through the back door. When they reached the back alley, Lin Tian heard Li Yue whistle. Soon, rustling sounds echoed from the darkness, and a giant python appeared before Lin Tian. Strangely enough, Li Yue lightly jumped and landed on the python’s head, seemingly intending to use the snake as her mount.

"Miss Li Yue, how did you manage to bring the giant python here?" Lin Tian asked, astonished.
