Late at night, in the Zhang clan's backyard.
A few Gu worms climbed over the high wall and passed through the side door, arriving outside the only room in the courtyard that was lit up.
"Clan head... It's me."
Hurried footsteps could be heard from inside.
Zhang Huan opened the door. Seeing that there was no one outside, he could not help but be startled, asking, "First guardian, where are you?"
"I am here..."
A voice came from beneath his feet.
He looked down and saw a few Gu worms crawling back and forth, shaking off some animal feces.
Only then did he notice that the one who spoke was one of the Gu worms.
"Clan head, the assassination failed, the second guardian and the third guardian did not survive. That Fang Yuan is very strong, if I did not self-detonate to escape with the Escape Spirit Gu, I would not have escaped death."
