NOVEL NEXT Chapter 140: Communication Gu
Tan Xu also wanted to see how Tan Long would feel inside upon finding out that Wang Ye actually had no real background—a mixture of emotions.
Meanwhile, the car driven by Tan Long had just exited from beneath the hotel when another car started following them.
Although Tan Xu noticed this car, there were so many cars under the hotel that he didn't think much of it.
...
On the road leading to the location stored in Wang Ye's memory.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing were sitting in the back of the car. Wang Ye, initially reclining with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Wang Ye suddenly opening his eyes, Su Wanqing asked him.
"Someone is following us," Wang Ye said.
His intuition was invariably right. Last time on the highway, Wang Ye had sensed someone following him, and it turned out to be true indeed.
With Wang Ye's capabilities, within a certain range, unless totally overwhelmed by another's strength, he could discern if someone harbored intentions toward him.
"Someone is following us?"
Tan Long's voice held some confusion. He had been driving all along, unaware of anyone tracking them. Wang Ye had been with his eyes closed, how could he have noticed they were being followed?
"I don't think so," Tan Long glanced behind and, seeing no suspicious vehicle, spoke out.
"There is."
Wang Ye's tone was very certain, "The black Volkswagen behind us, with the license plate number YC788, has been following us from the moment we left the hotel, and it is still behind us now."
"If it's not tracking us, then that would be strange."
Tan Long looked at the car Wang Ye mentioned and remembered that it was indeed as Wang Ye said.
The car had been following them from the start until now.
In his heart, Tan Long grew even more impressed with Wang Ye, who had been lying there with his eyes closed since getting in the car, yet knew exactly what was happening behind them.
"What should we do next?"
Tan Long asked Wang Ye.
"What should we do?"
A smile appeared on Wang Ye's face, "Let's find a place up ahead to stop and lure them out. Since they like following, let's give them a proper beatdown."
"Alright then!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Tan Long immediately agreed and began looking for a place nearby.
In the car behind them.
Mr. Lu held a completely red Gu insect known to the Gu Clan as the Communication Gu.
The Communication Gu was so named because, after placing its Zi Gu Insect somewhere else, it would transmit any sound from that location to the Mother Gu Insect at a certain frequency.
And the Mother Gu Insect would emit a distinct sound, identical to what the Zi Gu Insect heard on the other end.
The Communication Gu was generally used for eavesdropping and stealing business secrets.
Meanwhile.
The sounds emitted by Mr. Lu's Mother Gu Insect, given that the Zi Gu Insect's location was naturally in the car where Wang Ye and his companions were, fluctuated.
Translating the sounds transmitted by the Mother Gu Insect, Mr. Lu's expression changed slightly with surprise, "I didn't expect we would be discovered."
Lü Xing heard Mr. Lu's words, but his expression remained calm, "I already said, that kid is definitely not ordinary."
Squeak, squeak.
Just then, the Mother Gu Insect in Mr. Lu's hand kept making painful noises, and then, the Mother Gu Insect fell onto Mr. Lu's hand, unresponsive.
The Mother Gu Insect was dead.
The Communication Gu, the Mother Gu Insect and the Zi Gu Insect shared a fate, when the Mother Gu Insect died, it meant that the Zi Gu Insect had also died.
"The Zi Gu Insect has also been discovered, this youngster, despite his young age, possesses so many techniques."
Lü Xing lamented, yet his face revealed a morbid smirk, "However, it's more fulfilling to deal with such a talented, resourceful youngster."
"You drive!"
Lü Xing said to Mr. Lu, and during the drive, Lü Xing and Mr. Lu switched drivers, seemingly used to doing this type of thing.
A Gu Insect was held in Lü Xing's hand, muttering under his breath.
Then, the Gu Insect crawled down from Lü Xing's hand, slipped through the crack opened by the window, and quickly headed in the direction of Wang Ye.
...
Wang Ye fiddled with the Communication Zi Gu Insect he had killed in his hand, as Su Wanqing looked at the Zi Gu Insect in Wang Ye's hand and asked, "What is this?"
Tan Long also saw the Gu Insect in Wang Ye's hand through the rearview mirror. Although he knew it was a Gu Insect, he did not know exactly what type it was.
So, after Su Wanqing had asked, Tan Long also pricked up his ears, intending to find out what kind of Gu Insect it was.
"It is a Gu Insect, specifically used to eavesdrop on our conversation in the car," Wang Ye replied.
On hearing this, both Su Wanqing and Tan Long were taken aback, clearly not expecting such a Gu Insect to be on their car.
"This Gu Insect must have been placed in our car by someone from the car that's been following us," Wang Ye explained.
Su Wanqing and Tan Long pondered for a while, then simultaneously mentioned a name, "Mr. Lu?"
Among those they knew, only Mr. Lu was familiar with the Way of the Gu.
They were unaware of anyone else.
Thus, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, Su Wanqing and Tan Long directly focused their thoughts on Mr. Lu.
"It's probably not Mr. Lu,"
Wang Ye shook his head, "Yesterday Mr. Lu tried to take me down with his Life-bound Gu, but I countered it."
"Based on this, Mr. Lu couldn't possibly have such strength,"
Wang Ye's voice paused, "So it might be someone more proficient in Gu Art who saved Mr. Lu last night, and now they have come for revenge with him."
Just by a single Gu Insect, Wang Ye had nearly guessed the entire situation accurately, speaking out the truth of the matter.
"Then, Master Wang, should we keep stopping? Gu is a very sinister thing, I've heard people say that once one is touched by a Gu, there's a high chance they might die,"
Tan Long spoke, his voice tinged with fear.
To ordinary people, Gu Art indeed seemed very peculiar, and its peculiarity made it even more unnerving.
"No need to stop. They have been following us, intending to use the Gu against us,"
Wang Ye said, his voice pausing briefly before he continued, "There's more Gu coming."
Tan Long and Su Wanqing, upon hearing Wang Ye's words, immediately tensed up.
