My Demon Husband Is a Snake

Chapter 1222: The Secret of the Immortal Gu

"West... West Heaven??" Zhang Zidao’s cheeks were puffed up like a hamster’s as he listened to Zhang Shuying’s words, nearly choking himself. He took several sips of tea to calm down, "I ascended to immortality on a crane, not went to the West Heaven."

"Isn’t it the same thing? Either way, you’re in a place we can’t go." Zhang Shuying replied bluntly, "You’re dead, so why try to hide it? What exactly is this thing?"

"Wanwan, come here." After Zhang Zidao called me over, he asked me, "Can you and your stepfather possibly not get involved in this matter, or can the entire Zhang Family stay out of it?"

"Uncle Che, why is your attitude like the Lin Family’s?" I noticed the similarity but also a difference.

The Lin Family, Tianying Village, and Long Xiangkui had all coordinated their actions.

But Zhang Zidao coincidentally shared the same view, he probably didn’t have the leisure to ally with them, completely expressing his own opinion.

Zhang Che nodded at me, stood next to Zhang Shuying, and whispered to Zhang Zidao, "We can stay out, but tell us the reason."

"No harm in saying, after all, it’s Su Wan who’s at a loss." Zhang Zidao seemed unfazed and mischievously glanced at Zhang Shuying and Zhang Che, "You treat her as if she’s your life, so I’m sure you’ll agree once you hear."

"Spit it out, old man!!" Zhang Shuying cursed impatiently.

Zhang Zidao raised an eyebrow, "The Mother Gu that was used should be the Immortal Gu that Tianying Village has protected for thousands of years. That Immortal Gu was supposed to seek out my obedient apprentice as its master, but for some unknown reason... it chose Su Chongwen."

I was inexplicably shocked; the Immortal Gu saw someone as powerful as Su Chongwen.

But why would the Immortal Gu choose Su Chongwen??

And why kidnap Yu Longting and the others?

"There’s an opportunity, hasn’t the Ten Thousand Poison Hall always wanted that Immortal Gu?" Zhang Shuying snapped his fingers and said, "We can go to the Ten Thousand Poison Hall to find Zhao Zheng. Once she and her people take action, there’s no need for us to deal with Su Chongwen."

Zhang Che nodded, "Although the Ten Thousand Poison Hall is not to be trifled with, it’s currently the best option. No wonder Tianying Village wants to stay out of it, and the Lin Family was probably dragged into it by Tianying Village."

"Zhao Zheng has already been killed by me." I blurted out the truth.

Zhang Che and Zhang Shuying thought they heard wrong, "What did you say?"

"I said Zhao Zheng is dead, and the Ten Thousand Poison Hall is now leaderless, so it’s useless to go to them."

I frowned and said, "The Ten Thousand Poison Hall is no match for Su Chongwen."

"Why are you all bent on opposing Su Chongwen? If the Immortal Gu wants to govern the world, let it do so. It shouldn’t do anything too outrageous; after all, it’s an immortal." Zhang Zidao said.

I looked at Zhang Zidao, "Originally, we could follow your plan, but... Dumpling, Yu Longting, and Yu Rongling have been kidnapped by Su Chongwen."

"What??" Zhang Zidao abruptly stood up, his eyes glinting with Spiritual Power.

Seeing Zhang Zidao stunned, I explained the situation to him.

Zhang Zidao listened to the speculations me and Zhang Che had, shook his head at us, "I think your guesses are all wrong. The Immortal Gu is something of the Immortal Clan. How could it allow Su Chongwen to control it? What it’s doing, I think is..."

After hearing Zhang Zidao’s perspective, Zhang Shuying, Zhang Che, and I looked at each other.

If that’s the case, there’s nothing that can stop the Immortal Gu.

Zhang Zidao shook his head repeatedly, saying since we know in advance the purpose of the Immortal Gu’s abduction, we have a way to deal with it.

Rather than waiting to be slaughtered, it’s better to fight to the death and not let this thing have its way.
