Chapter 730: Chapter 567 The Annoying Fire Chicken

”Mother! Why talk of loyalty and duty at times like this? Our Hongyan Clan, spanning mountains, has long fulfilled our debts!”

”Mother, the Vermilion Bird Gu is our last bastion in guarding Red Rock Mountain. You are sealing our doom!”

”...”

Before Hongyan Jiaojiao could finish, her sons behind her interrupted anxiously.

Her meaning was too clear, hard to misunderstand! The Gourd Brothers understood unequivocally—without the Vermilion Bird Gu, their Hongyan Clan could no longer guard Red Rock Mountain.

”Silence!” Hongyan Jiaojiao raised her hand to cut off her six sons, her gaze firm as she looked at Gu Changsheng and spoke sternly, ”Fenghuang Changsheng, I once promised the Eight Great Elders of the Phoenix Clan that, no matter the cost, I would protect the Vermilion Bird Gu! I also promised your Queen Mother that I would wait for your return. Now that you have returned, my mission is complete.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Hongyan Jiaojiao looked at the radiant woman before her. A trace of relief flashed through her aged eyes, ”Fenghuang Changsheng, I can hand over the Vermilion Bird Gu to you! But remember, after you take over the Vermilion Bird Gu, you must remember that you are the last descendant of the Phoenix Clan! You bear the full Cultivation of the Eight Great Elders who sacrificed themselves for the Gu, your Queen Mother died giving birth to you, Fenghuang Changsheng, avenge them. Let the Xiangka Clan pay their blood debt in blood! Let Xiangka Tianji die without a burial place!”

Gu Changsheng was taken aback. Indeed, as a former maid in the Ruoshui Palace, Hongyan Jiaojiao knew many things she did not.

It was the first time Gu Changsheng understood that the immense Inner Strength within her was exchanged by the Phoenix Clan’s Eight Great Elders sacrificing themselves for the Gu!

She suddenly felt a heavy burden...

”Elder, rest assured, although I’m a bit carefree, since I have received benefaction from the ancestors, it is only right that I seek revenge for them!” Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, her expression resolute.

Though she had never personally witnessed the tragic extermination of the Phoenix Clan, through Hongyan Jiaojiao’s intermittent words, Gu Changsheng could imagine the terrible price the Phoenix Clan paid to help her mother escape the control of the Xiangka Clan!

Sacrificing oneself for the Gu leaves no chance for life!

”Good! I believe you!” Hongyan Jiaojiao said, a smile curling at the corners of her mouth, as she slowly raised her hand and a fiery-red silhouette slowly appeared behind her!

Gu Changsheng and the others watched intently, not wanting to miss a single detail.

Because they knew that Hongyan Jiaojiao was summoning the legendary Vermilion Bird Gu!

Gu Changsheng could distinctly feel the jubilant emotion of the Dandan Bug in her mind, and also the agitation coming from the Soul-Devouring Python on her wrist...

The Vermilion Bird Gu!

Gu Changsheng’s eyes widened, the joy in her heart indescribable!

At that moment, Gu Changsheng felt as if she were a favored child of the Heavenly God, having so easily obtained two of the Four Great Imperial Gu!

While watching the faint red glow appearing behind Hongyan Jiaojiao, Gu Changsheng didn’t notice that at the moment Hongyan Jiaojiao summoned the Vermilion Bird Gu, her six sons behind her lowered their heads, hiding the emotions on their faces.

Under the gaze of all, the Vermilion Bird Gu finally made its appearance.

Hongyan Jiaojiao stepped aside, letting it stand before everyone.

The moment Gu Changsheng saw the Vermilion Bird Gu clearly, she was utterly dumbstruck, speechless... Damage taken +1000 points!

”Is... is this the Vermilion Bird Gu?” Gu Changsheng pointed at the little creature beside Hongyan Jiaojiao, her face twitching, and if not for Zhou Mu supporting her, she might have fainted.

Damn, where is the promised Vermilion Bird Gu?

Who can tell her why the mighty and majestic Four Great Divine Beasts have, upon reaching the Southern Border, not only become the Four Great Imperial Gu, which is fine because they are after all four and they are imperial which sounds mightily impressive! She could barely accept this! The Green Dragon Gu is a snake, and she reluctantly accepted this too, but what is this thing before her eyes?

On the ground, a totally bald chicken, hopping around scavenging for food...

Gu Changsheng was utterly dumbfounded!

Did the Dandan Bug truly not deceive her? The Gu of the Southern Border... really don’t grow hair, do they...

But... but the Soul-Devouring Python is a snake, and it’s fine that it doesn’t grow hair, but the Vermilion Bird Gu is supposed to be a chicken, shouldn’t it at least have some feathers?

Gu Changsheng really wanted to howl at the sky: Damn it, Heavenly Father, are you kidding me? It’s fine that you make a chicken a Gu insect, but you still let it run around naked, is this really okay?
