Chapter 554: Alien Heart-eating Bug

Jiulong Yuxi teased the boss for a long time about Yang Wuque's fate.

"Master, as the supreme king, you treat Yang Wuque like this, doesn't it make people feel that your rank is a bit low? I think you should do something exciting and cruel, such as burning him with fire every day!"

"I actually wanted to put him in the toilet at first, but then I thought that was boring, so I changed it to the door. Trash like him should stay with the trash can."

Zhao Yi walked leisurely among the crowd.

At this time, the post-war work in the capital had not yet been completed. Soldiers were everywhere collecting corpses and arresting remaining cultists. Linglong personally led the soldiers to search their lairs. The righteous monks collected the bodies of their companions and treated the wounded. Zhao Yi became the most idle person.

It was not until noon of the next day that the capital finally returned to peace. A report was presented to Zhao Yi, which detailed how many people in the capital participated in the rebellion.

What surprised Zhao Yi was that some sect leaders were actually involved, including several principals. Zhao Yi had no feelings for the principals and felt nothing about it.

Zhao Yi was very sad and full of emotion about these sect leaders. When these cultivators came to the new world, he gave them great convenience, allowing their sects to continue, but in the end they wanted to kill him.

"Master, don't be sad. I think we shouldn't be too disappointed in them before we figure out why they participated!"

The words of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal awakened Zhao Yi. He immediately alerted the higher-level cultists among the survivors and asked them why they joined such an organization.

"King! I don't know if you can believe me or not, but I didn't do it on purpose. I was just wandering around the capital one day, and a little girl tried to sell me a free drink, so I drank a little, and then I realized something was wrong with my body!"

The head of the sect stared at Zhao Yi, observing his expression carefully.

Zhao Yi waved his hand to signal the other party to continue.

"There was a powerful and evil force in my body, trying to control me. I fought against it but ultimately failed, and I fell into disgust with you. It was only after Yang Wuque's death that I gradually came to my senses!"

Zhao Yi observed the other party carefully and did not notice any lies in his words. However, what the other party said was a bit unbelievable. To be able to become the leader of a sect, one must be a person of very high cultivation, but he fell for a glass of drink.

Zhao Yi was preparing to interrogate a few people.

"King! We have a new discovery!"

Linglong's voice broke Zhao Yi's contemplation. He learned that Linglong had found a magical pool in the old nest. There was a black shadow swimming in the middle of the pool, revealing a greedy breath. If you cast a spell to capture it, the other party will disappear without a trace.

"There is such a thing! Go and take a look!"

Back to the manor, it has become dilapidated due to the battle.

Following Linglong to the basement, a wide pond appeared in front of Zhao Yi.

Just as Linglong said, there was a black shadow swimming in the water, and Zhao Yi threw the Nine Dragon Jade Seal into the pool without saying a word.

"Master! Don't be so deceiving! No, you should be deceiving the imperial seal!"

After Jiulong Yuxi shouted Jisheng in the water, he suddenly lost his voice, which made Zhao Yi worried.

"call!"

The water in the pool rolled, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal flashed purple air and rushed out of the pool, floating in the air.

"Let's figure it out! I never thought this strange beast would appear in a place like this!"

"Tell me what it is now, don't keep us in suspense!"

"Okay! It's a heartworm!"

Through the introduction of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi learned that the heart-eating worm is a kind of ancient strange beast. Their bodies are full of smiles and they are invisible to the naked eye. At the same time, they are very sensitive to spiritual power and will disappear at the slightest disturbance.

This kind of strange beast cannot absorb spiritual power directly, but needs to parasitize on the body of the monks and absorb their spiritual power to feed themselves, so they have evolved the ability to control the thoughts of the monks.

"But if that's the case, how can they survive in the pool?"

"Miss Linglong, this is because there are hundreds of fresh corpses under this pool. A large amount of spiritual energy is sealed in their bodies for these heart-eating insects to eat, so they can naturally grow happily."

After hearing this, Linglong ran to the side and vomited.
After hearing the introduction of the Nine Dragon Jade Seal, Zhao Yi also felt nauseous.

Now is not the time to be disgusted, he asked the Nine Dragon Jade Seal if there was any way to destroy this thing.

Or completely expel this thing from the body of the controlled person. After all, most of the captives are in such a state because of the solid worm.

Zhao Yi thought of Yang Wuque again at this time, and wondered if that guy had become so crazy because of the incident with the strange beast?

"Master, in my opinion, Yang Wuque was definitely not controlled, or he should be controlled voluntarily."

"You don't need to feel pity for that kind of person. As for how to destroy this strange beast, I don't know."

"It would be fine if you knew, but you are so confident when you don't know. You are a top-level artifact."

Zhao Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at the Nine Dragon Jade Seal.

At this time, Linglong has stabilized.

“I think it would be better to issue a notice in the capital and make this matter public. I think there are so many monks in the capital.

Someone should know how to crack it.”

Zhao Yi was silent for a moment and agreed to Linglong's request.

In Zhao Yi's opinion, revealing the whole cause and effect of the matter will not only help find a solution.

At the same time, it can also let everyone know that you have not done anything wrong, so that those who support you can continue to believe in you.

After all, so many things have happened recently.

Everyone will inevitably wonder whether they have done something shameful in private, which has led to all kinds of vicious incidents.

After the notice is posted.

Colleagues were talking about it, and just as Zhao Yi had guessed, many people dispelled their doubts about Zhao Yi's regained confidence.

However, nothing was found regarding the borer.

Just when Zhao Yi was about to give up.

That evening, Linglong came hurriedly and handed Zhao Yi a bamboo tube.

"There is a short note in the bamboo tube, asking you to meet outside the capital tonight.

I want to tell you how to kill the heartworm."

Zhao Yi opened the note while listening to Linglong's report.

There is no difference between what is written above and what Linglong said.

“I think this is most likely an assassination attempt against you, I hope you won’t go.

Or how about letting me go instead of you?"

“I think what Miss Linglong said makes sense, asking you out for no apparent reason.

Why can't I come to the palace to meet you?"

Jiulong Yuxi also agreed with Linglong's opinion.

However, for Zhao Yi, such worries were completely unnecessary.

Now I am in the capital, and I am the ruler of the new world. Who can assassinate me?

"You don't need to talk about this anymore. I'll go tonight."

"Linglong, just do what you need to do and everything will be fine as usual."

"Don't send anyone to protect me secretly. I don't need it."
