741: Chapter 730: Searching for Teng Feiyue 741: Chapter 730: Searching for Teng Feiyue After the four members of the Teng family left, they hid beneath the Zhonghai Bridge, in a concealed spot by a sewer outlet.
Though the thick stench of the sewer was nauseating, they had no complaints; they were clear about the current situation.
Ever since Ning Fan had appeared, they realized their movements had been detected.
“I planted a Gu insect in Ning Fan’s body.
If we calculate the time, and if everything went smoothly, the Gu insect should have burrowed deep into his marrow by now,”
Teng Xi rubbed his wrist, which was still numb.
Ning Fan’s strength had surpassed his expectations.
If he hadn’t been at the Object-Manipulating Realm himself, his hand might have been crippled.
The other three, hearing that Teng Xi had managed to plant a Gu insect in Ning Fan, brightened up.
Teng Zhong came over and asked, “Can it be activated?”
If they could activate the Gu insect, then they might have a chance to end Ning Fan’s life.
“I used the Heart-Eating Gu, which splits inside the body.
Part of it will infiltrate Ning Fan’s marrow, while another part will travel along his bloodstream to his heart.
If nothing goes wrong, he won’t survive the night,”
As Teng Xi spoke, he furrowed his brow for some reason, unlike the others who seemed delighted.
In truth, he had no confidence in his heart.
Whether the Gu insect would be effective, Teng Xi dared not guarantee.
Even though his Gu insects had never failed before, for some reason, he just didn’t feel confident.
“No one survives the Heart-Eating Gu.
We’ll look for him tomorrow morning!”
Teng Zhong said with some excitement.
The Heart-Eating Gu was an extremely venomous Gu insect that not only consumed the victim’s marrow but would gradually devour their heart, resulting in a gruesome fate.
The other three hadn’t noticed Teng Xi’s unease as they were invigorated by the news.
Elsewhere, Ning Fan hadn’t gone home that evening but had arrived at the Shadow Team’s base.
“This is really…
hard to find…”
Locking himself in the infirmary, Ning Fan stripped off his shirt, looking at his body with cold sweat on his face.
During the clash with Teng Xi, Ning Fan had realized that a Gu insect had burrowed into the palm of his hand and entered his bloodstream.
This was why Ning Fan had not pursued them.
If he didn’t handle this correctly, his little life would be in danger.
Ning Fan hadn’t mentioned this to anyone and had instead locked himself alone in the infirmary of the base.
Teng Xi’s Gu was unknown to him, but what troubled him even more was that now he couldn’t feel where exactly the Gu insect was inside him.
Looking at the tiny red dot in the palm of his hand, the sole evidence of the Gu insect’s presence, it had drilled into his body from that very spot on his palm.
“Truly impossible to guard against!” Ning Fan snorted coldly, his eyes slowly covered by a layer of blue light.
His X-ray special ability activated since if even that could not find the Gu insect, then Ning Fan could only wait for death.
Under the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil, every meridian and blood vessel in Ning Fan’s body was exposed; his eyes swiftly searched without stopping.
About two minutes later, he noticed something unusual in his blood vessels.
After seeing the clusters of still-dividing Gu insects, Ning Fan shivered, his back soaked with cold sweat.
Teng Xi’s Gu insect was indeed vicious, capable of splitting within the human body!
It seemed the Gu insects were using his blood as nourishment and continued to grow robustly, which explained why Ning Fan had felt so uncomfortable before.
However, now that he had discovered them, Ning Fan would never sit idly by.
“Do they really think my blood is that delicious?!”
Ning Fan, with his Pure Yang Body, had Pure Yang Blood coursing through him which was a great supplement; it was said to be resistant to all poisons.
Were these mere Gu Insects even worthy of it?
Instantly, the robust True Qi flowed through the vessels in his entire body, and his blood immediately boiled.
His whole body turned red, and sweat kept pouring out from his skin, only to be evaporated by the astonishing heat of his body.
In the blink of an eye, the steam evaporating from Ning Fan enveloped the entire room!
Under the boiling of Ning Fan’s blood, the Gu Insects turned into a pile of residue and were then expelled from his body through evaporation.
“Huff—”
After dealing with the Gu Insects inside his body, Ning Fan took a long breath.
Although he had taken care of the Gu Insects, having been played a dirty trick, he was not in a good mood.
The Evil Gu from the Yunteng Family was indeed extremely treacherous and hard to guard against.
If he hadn’t been cautious, he would have really been in mortal danger today.
After cleansing all the Gu Insects from his body, Ning Fan didn’t forget to check on Di Baitian and the two wandering ghosts, as they had previously fought with Teng Xi.
To be on the safe side, Ning Fan sought them out and examined them.
Only after confirming that the three of them were safe did Ning Fan finally relax.
He did not return that night but stayed at the base.
In the meantime, Ning Fan made a phone call to Zi Hongyu.
“Ninth Master, what can I do for you?”
Zi Hongyu naturally did not dare to neglect the chance to serve Ning Fan; he was more than eager for Ning Fan to need him.
“Feiyue, uh, the woman from the bar that night, do you know her whereabouts?”
Because he found out that the people who were “chasing” Feiyue during the day were from the Yunteng Family, Ning Fan developed suspicions.
Who exactly was this Feiyue?
Moreover, it didn’t seem like Teng Zhong and the others had come to Zhonghai specifically for that woman.
Therefore, Ning Fan was very curious about Feiyue’s real identity.
Thus, Ning Fan toyed with the idea of finding Feiyue to get to the bottom of it.
Although he had left his phone number for Feiyue, Ning Fan didn’t have her contact details, rendering him unable to arrange a meeting via phone.
He had no choice but to delegate this task to Zi Hongyu.
Previously, Zi Hongyu had misunderstood that Ning Fan had taken an interest in Feiyue and diligently investigated her living arrangements.
Because of this, Ning Fan remembered Zi Hongyu’s capabilities.
As soon as Zi Hongyu heard that Ning Fan wanted to find the woman from the bar that night, his face changed, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
Previously, Ning Fan had said it was all a misunderstanding, warning him not to meddle in such matters.
But now Ning Fan wanted to know the whereabouts of that woman.
Honestly, Zi Hongyu couldn’t grasp what Ning Fan was thinking, or had Ning Fan changed his mind and now found the woman indeed appealing?
“Yes, yes, yes, leave this small matter to me.
I will get back to you as soon as possible!”
However, Zi Hongyu didn’t dare to question it.
Since Ning Fan had entrusted him with the task, he would dutifully carry it out.
With their resources, finding a woman in Zhonghai was quite easy; it was just a matter of time.
