Chapter 586: 288: Fang Mu's Chosen Clan!_3
Because Clan Zhenyan really had no path left to take.
As soon as Clan Zhenyan showed their face they would instantly be targeted, encircled by powerful enemies.
Even if Clan Zhenyan told those powerful enemies that they no longer had the ancient books, the enemies wouldn’t believe them. They would surely capture Clan Zhenyan and extract information through intensive torture.
Moreover, Clan Zhenyan was still unclear about the force that the young man in front of them wielded.
If asked who took away the ancient book, they wouldn’t be able to give a clear answer either.
“In return for Young Master Fang’s query, Clan Zhenyan has nowhere else to go.”
“We are willing to be obedient and serve you to the best of our abilities!”
“Clan Zhenyan is willing to venerate and worship you like a deity, we hope that you can graciously accept Clan Zhenyan as part of your chosen clan!”
Shu Liangjun had always had a high opinion of Gu Anxing from the bottom of his heart.
After all, had it not been for Gu Anxing stepping into the room and defusing the situation with his attitude, after Fang Mu had targeted Gu Che’s Guardian Beast.
Clan Zhenyan might not even exist by now!
However, Shu Liangjun felt that no matter how smart Clan Zhenyan was, it was unlikely they would willingly become a common enemy of all major forces manipulated by Fang Mu.
Shu Liangjun was very curious about what Fang Mu would do next.
Fang Mu silently looked at Gu Anxing. With a flip of his hand, a large, transparent ant appeared in his palm.
Fang Mu handed the transparent ant to Gu Anxing and softly said,
“You have to imbue this ant into your soul.”
“After imbuing this ant into your soul, the ant will build a nest in your soul.”
“I will then be able to control your life and death through it.”
“As long as you remain loyal to me, this ant will not only refrain from harming you but rather protect your soul.”
Facing this method of control via a Guardian Beast, Gu Anxing had heard of it before.
He just never imagined that such a method would one day be used on himself.
Now was the perfect timing to show absolute loyalty to Fang Mu.
Gu Anxing marched forward without hesitation, opened his soul and let the Soul Parasite Ant from Fang Mu’s hand penetrate into his soul.
Seeing Gu Anxing’s decisiveness, Fang Mu smiled and said,
“You have secured an opportunity for Clan Zhenyan. Regarding the seven vials of Life Elixir, I will not ask for them to be returned.”
On hearing Fang’s words, Gu Anxing, Gu Tianfan, and Gu Che, along with Shui Miao, were all taken aback. They never expected Fang Mu to be so generous. On the other hand, Lu Xiaoyin remained unfazed.
After being with Fang Mu for a long time, Lu Xiaoyin had become accustomed to Fang Mu’s lavish ways.
Gu Anxing expressed his gratitude to Fang Mu with heartfelt emotion.
“Your kindness, Young Master Fang, will forever be remembered by Clan Zhenyan!”
“From now on, no matter what you ask of Clan Zhenyan, we will never refuse!”
Upon hearing these words, a smile crept upon Fang Mu’s face. He had been waiting for Gu Anxing to say these words!
“Since you’ve stated Clan Zhenyan is willing to do anything for me, I’ll give your clan an opportunity.”
“I will provide a transcribed copy of the ancient book. Once Clan Zhenyan returns to Rock Peak City, release the information of this book.”
“In simple terms, share it with all forces within Rock Peak City who have plans to explore this ancient battlefield.”
On hearing Fang Mu’s words, Gu Anxing’s face of joy faded by half, feeling a chill shoot up his spine from embarrassment.
Gu Anxing found it hard to discern whether Fang Mu was attempting to manipulate the major forces regarding the exploration of the ancient battlefield.
Or whether he still held a grudge against Clan Zhenyan, planning to retaliate in such a manner.
At this moment, Fang Mu in Gu Anxing’s eyes was a devil sitting on the throne of power.
Just having been controlled by Fang Mu, Gu Anxing had no qualification to refuse.
However, for the future of Clan Zhenyan as the family head, Gu Anxing found it difficult to agree.
Just as Gu Tianfan was hesitating whether he should admonish his relatives once more, he heard Fang Mu say,
“There’s always risk involved in doing things under me, but it’s always accompanied by rewards.”
“I won’t ask Clan Zhenyan to take risks without giving your clan any benefits.”
Upon hearing Fang Mu’s words, Gu Anxing pursed his lips with a bitter expression on his face.
Fang Mu did possess Grandmaster-level resources, which could easily provide benefits to Clan Zhenyan.
Those benefits were things that Clan Zhenyan could never gain through their own abilities.
But a few Grandmaster-level Elixirs could not compare to the sacrifices Clan Zhenyan was about to make.
Gu Anxing, who had just escaped from Rock Peak City, had a clear understanding of the status of the forces within the city!
These forces tread carefully even around the royal family of the Panfeng Federation, and none of them were entities that Clan Zhenyan, in its current situation, had the capacity to face.
If Clan Zhenyan were to undertake this task, aside from whether they could extricate themselves successfully, there would be no possibility of reappearing in the Dust World again!
Even though he clearly understood not answering Fang Mu might lead to his displeasure, Gu Anxing still kept his mouth shut tight.
He simply didn’t know how to respond.
If they were destined to lose their future, Clan Zhenyan would rather face it head-on!
It would be better to let Clan Zhenyan perish in the undead tide!
Fang Mu anticipated his words would cause Gu Anxing to react in such a way.
Without pressing Gu Anxing for an immediate response, Fang Mu continued to speak.
“You mentioned allowing Clan Zhenyan to become my chosen clan. I’ve always treated my chosen clans exceedingly well.”
“Once Clan Zhenyan has completed the task, I will provide resources for every core member of Clan Zhenyan to enable their Guardian Beasts to successfully enter the Sequential.”
“Every year, I will provide thirty vials of Life Elixir with ninety percent purity, ten vials with ninety-two percent purity, and five vials with ninety-four percent purity to Clan Zhenyan.”
“I will also provide thirty vials of Element Potion to Clan Zhenyan and let Clan Zhenyan decide the attribute themselves!”
