Chapter 1663 - 1662: Found the Stronghold
Bei Lin has been tracking the Gu Worm on the Second Son of Yan Family. While on North Island, due to the large distance, she couldn't precisely track it, but the closer she got to the Second Son of Yan Family's home, the more vivid and detailed her understanding of the Gu Worm on him became.After the Second Son of Yan Family engaged in actions violating ethics and morals with the handsome man, the Gu Worm on him elevated its Daoist level several notches higher.
"This is bad, what is the Second Son of Yan Family up to now? How come his Gu Worm has grown so much stronger?"
Bei Lin's complexion turned somewhat pale; she started paying attention to the Second Gu Worm the moment she discovered it on the Second Son of Yan Family, naturally also sensed its rapid ascent.
This Gu Worm has already surpassed the previous one; last time, a lot of time was wasted, and even Bei Lin and her partner almost lost their lives while subduing the Gu Worm.
Facing an even stronger opponent, Bei Lin found herself at a loss.
She could use Secret Techniques to learn the development status of the Gu Worm on the Second Son of Yan Family, but she couldn't interfere with its growth.
"So what should be done? Do you have any countermeasures?"
Tang Rao is skilled in poisons, but when it comes to Gu Worm, he can't even find his way.
"No, I just find this quite tricky."
Not denying it, Bei Lin truthfully explained the situation to Tang Rao: "Logically speaking, even when the Gu Worm grows on the body of the user, it shouldn't grow that fast. The Second Son of Yan Family must have used some extraordinary skill, or rather, some unconventional methods to make the Gu Worm grow so rapidly."
Bei Lin had never heard of Gu Worms rapidly growing through other unconventional methods, but aside from this conjecture, she couldn't think of more possibilities.
"Unconventional methods? This Second Son of Yan Family can have two Gu Worms on him, using some unconventional method to make them grow faster is not impossible."
As a man with diverse thoughts, Tang Rao knew more about the Second Son of Yan Family than even Bei Lin did.
"We can't let him continue, even relying on this current Gu Worm, I am no longer a match for him. If the Gu Worm grows further, even you, using sheer force against him, wouldn't be his match."
Bei Lin always admired Tang Rao, believing him to be invincible. Despite this, she had to admit that if Tang Rao faced the current Second Son of Yan Family, he wouldn't be a match.
Let alone the Second Son of Yan Family, even the Gu handlers under him were enough to give Tang Rao a tough time.
"The Second Son of Yan Family is indeed worthy of being chosen as my opponent, strong enough to let me break through my bottleneck sooner!"
Finding an opponent to break through one's bottleneck, is it worth risking one's life?
Tang Rao only considered having such an opponent to stimulate his energy and make himself stronger, never thinking that facing such a powerful adversary might end up costing his life if careless.
He might not mind risking his life, but what about those behind him? The whole Zijing City, the entire Kao Shan Sect relies on Tang Rao, without him as a backbone, where would Kao Shan Sect stand?
"The Second Son of Yan Family won't be arrogant for long; unconventional methods often come with aftermaths, with good outcomes come bad ones. As his strength rises quickly, his body may also be suffering a backlash? If all else fails, let's wait and not confront him now; observing the situation to win steadily, isn't it a good approach?"
"There are too many people in this world aiming for steady victories; everyone wants stability and everyone seeks victory. If everyone thinks this way, victory will never come, only passivity will grow in quietness. Do you wish for me to become such a person?"
Bei Lin hadn't expected Tang Rao to interpret seeking steady victory from another perspective; doubtlessly, Tang Reai's unconventional explanation made Bei Lin feel that Tang Rao's words were very reasonable.
"I must admit, I don't want you to become passive; you wouldn't choose to be passive, but I hope you think about your safety more and consider the people behind you more."
Bei Lin could only speak up to this point, any more would only annoy the man.
"What kind of person is Tang Rao's father? The South Shaolin and the North Wudang never feared anyone, it's not boasting, I could handle a class when I was in sixth grade, and haven't seen myself getting arrogant over the years, rest assured, I am always modest, that's why you have the illusion that anyone can bully me."
Regarding South Shaolin and North Wudang, fortunately, Bei Lin didn't understand what Tang Rao said, only naively feeling that anything Tang Rao said must be exceptional, and although she couldn't comprehend it, it didn't affect her blind worship.
"Even if I don't understand what you're saying, it still sounds impressive; as long as you're confident, and feel assured about the confrontation with the Second Son of Yan Family, I'm also slightly reassured."
Bei Lin looked at Tang Rao with deep emotion; the more danger one faces, the more precious being with a loved one becomes.
Tang Rao and his companions stayed at the inn for two days. After confirming the Yan Family's location and gathering a lot of information about them in Illusion City, Tang Rao and Bei Lin checked out and left the place.
With a specific location, Bei Lin communicated with her own Gu Worm and used Secret Techniques to bypass the Second Son of Yan Family, directly connecting with the Gu Worm on him to ascertain his exact location.
"Yan Family is considered a prominent family on East Island; have you seen that mountain? If my Gu Worm's information is entirely correct, that mountain and everything within and behind it belong to the Yan Family."
Bei Lin's delicate fingers pointed to the mountain, and while looking at it, she felt somewhat fearful.
It was as if a force was drawing Bei Lin, making her submit, but fortunately with Tang Rao beside her, he enveloped Bei Lin with his own Immortal Energy, shielding her from the mountain's pressure.
People could exert pressure, mountains could exert pressure, and it was the first time Tang Rao witnessed such.
But since it was their first time in such a place, they were unfamiliar with the terrain; they were in the open while the Yan Family was hidden, also considering the possibility that the pressure wasn't from the mountain but from the Yan Family.
If the pressure was from the Yan Family's mountain, Tang Rao would accept it—this world was filled with wonders; having such an experience would be an honor for the Yan Family, and Tang Rao could only concede. However, if the pressure was from the Yan Family themselves, it would be another matter entirely.
