One person: Reborn as Huangxian, seeking the title of Feng Baobao at the beginning

How could he possibly admit it?

He's too afraid to admit it!

While Luo Qing was still in a daze, Huang Miao looked at Linglan and nodded slightly.

Linglan understood immediately. Without hesitation, she avoided Luo Qing and moved swiftly to the bedside where the Luo family head was lying.

"Dark circles under the eyes, and a faint mark here—it really is a Soul Devouring Gu. If it had been ten days later, this mark would have completely disappeared. At that point, even I wouldn't have been able to confirm that the person had been possessed; I would have simply assumed that the person's body and soul were one."

Deceiving the will of Heaven is not difficult!

Linglan quickly tapped the head of the Luo family a few times, then pressed his eyelids and carefully examined his eye sockets.

I don't know what Linglan did, but there was indeed a barely visible mark under her eye socket.

Linglan's expression was solemn. Her understanding of the Soul Devouring Gu came entirely from the few remaining records in her clan, and this was the first time she had encountered it.

The reason why it was easy to tell from Luo Hong was because the Soul Devouring Gu had only been planted recently.

Patriarch Luo, what a lucky escapee!

Thinking about this, Linglan felt a chill of fear.

If she lets the enemy escape again this time, she really doesn't know where to look for her next enemy.

The Soul Devouring Gu is hailed as the number one insect gu in Miao territory, and this reputation is well-deserved.

Unfortunately, even Linglan, the Holy Maiden of Gu, was unable to refine the Soul Devouring Gu.

"Now that we've confirmed that the other party is suffering from the Soul Devouring Gu, can you undo it? Perhaps you can temporarily suppress that soul within the Luo family head's main body and awaken the Luo family head's own dissipating soul. It won't take too long, two hours should be enough."

"Once the true head of the Luo family sacrifices his soul to purify the corrupted water-suppressing beast with the bloodline of the Luo family, even if the enemy's soul repossesses the Luo family head's body, as long as we trap his soul and prevent him from leaving, and then destroy the Luo family head's body, causing the Soul-Devouring Gu and that person's soul to vanish together, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Huang Miao was standing very close to Linglan, so he naturally saw the faint mark under the Luo family head's eye socket.

Time was of the essence, and they no longer had time to slowly devise a plan. No one could give a definite answer as to whether Luo Shuxiang would betray the master she believed in.

Instead of placing their hopes on others, they should find their own solutions.

Huang Miao had already made up his mind. He decisively said to Linglan, "I'll give it a try. I'm about 50% sure I can succeed. But the original soul of the Luo family head is extremely weak. Even if it is awakened, it may not be able to support him in controlling his body."

The Soul-Devouring Gu was, after all, personally crafted by the Gu Body Saintess, who was revered as the foremost Gu Body Saintess; this was no joke.

Linglan nodded, a look of uncertainty on her face. She couldn't make a promise, only saying that she would do her best.

"Director Huang, if I lose control of the situation, you'll have to act immediately and extract that soul!"

This is a last resort. Forcibly extracting the soul that has merged with the body means abandoning the body, and the original soul may even dissipate along with it.

It can be said that the person behind the scenes did not leave himself any way out when he chose the Soul Devouring Gu, nor did he leave any hope for the original owner whose body he had taken over.

Linglan solemnly instructed that this matter could not tolerate the slightest mistake.

If a mistake is made, Lily of the Valley herself will suffer the consequences, resulting in more harm than good.

If Huang Miao hadn't made the request, and if there hadn't been a better solution at the moment, Linglan would never have agreed to do so.

"Wang Ye, Wu Xie, you two take Captain Luo out. If Captain Luo is still not conscious, take coercive measures and have Captain Gao gather all of the Luo family members by that ancient well and wait for the purification array to be activated!"

Huang Miao gave Wang Ye and Wu Xie a wink, and his attitude hardened.

Huang Miao was unwilling to give another chance to someone who was always confused.

This time, Luo Qing understood the meaning behind Huang Miao's words.

Only at this moment did he clearly realize that the Luo family now was no longer the Luo family he remembered, and even whether he could keep his position as Captain Luo was entirely in the hands of the other party.

His face turned deathly pale instantly. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Before Wang Ye and Wu Xie could make a move, Luo Qing walked towards the door.

Perhaps, he really should face reality!

"Hehe, she's just a low-level Gu-body Saintess from Miao territory, yet she thinks she can trap my soul?"

After leaving only Linglan, Huang Miao, and the unconscious Luo family head in the room, Linglan began to cast a spell.

The bells on her wrists jingled as she danced an ancient sacrificial dance unique to the Miao region.

As the lily of the valley dance continued, the melodious sound of the flute gently rose, and the person who had been unconscious on the bed began to move slightly.

Before long, the body began to sway to the rhythm of the lily of the valley's dance.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, his dark pupils filling the entire eye sockets without a trace of white, and then a loud, arrogant voice rang out.

This arrogant voice showed no regard for Linglan, the Miao Jiang Gu-body Saintess. With a "pfft," Linglan was almost instantly attacked, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the Luo family head's clothes.

Her body went limp, her legs stumbled, and she could no longer continue the dance.

"Director Huang, act quickly!"

Lily shouted these words with all her might, then could no longer hold on and collapsed softly to the ground.

Huang Miao swiftly supported Linglan, while gently pushing the person still lying on the bed with his other hand.

The golden palm print shimmered with light and grew larger as the distance closed, until the entire palm landed on the head of the Luo family.

A dense black aura of resentment surged from his body, forming a thin barrier that blocked the golden palm print.

Huang Miao dismissed this with disdain.

He snorted coldly and tightened his grip again.

This time, the handprint dispersed, turning into a golden thread that wrapped around the head of the Luo family.

The dark pupils, with no visible whites, began to move rapidly, and the whites of the eyes subtly became visible as the pupils moved.

The gold thread seized the opportunity and blended into the eyeball along the eye socket.

As he leisurely tugged at the gold thread, something seemed to be pulling hard at the other end, creating a slight resistance.

Huang Miao pulled hard, and a burst of golden light erupted. A piercing scream was forcibly ripped from his eye sockets.

The golden thread instantly transformed into a large net, enveloping the somewhat transparent black soul within it.

The soul seemed not to have reacted yet, screaming and struggling. The physical body, which had just struggled to its feet, collapsed with a thud. The dense resentment that had been rising tried to return to the body, but was blocked by an invisible force and could not go back.

As Linglan watched this scene, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that Huang Miao would extract that soul so easily, even though the soul he extracted was not complete.

More importantly, this method, apart from lacking the sacrificial dance of the Miao region, is clearly a Miao technique.

Could this mysterious Director Huang have some connection with Miao territory?

"Thanks to Director Huang's help in suppressing that evil spirit, otherwise, my soul would have been devoured long ago. The Luo family's downfall at my hands is my sin, and I have no face to face the ancestors of the Luo family..."

The head of the Luo family was extremely weak, but he still struggled to get out of bed. Despite Huang Miao and Linglan's best efforts to stop him, he forced himself to kneel before Huang Miao and said with tears streaming down his face.

He couldn't remember how long he had been trapped in the darkness; that time was long and agonizing. He knew that the evil spirit possessing his body was using him to do things that harmed the Luo family and disgraced the water-suppressing divine beast. He wanted to stop it, but he was powerless to do so. In fact, if Huang Miao hadn't intervened to save him, he would have been forever trapped in the darkness until his soul was scattered.

The head of the Luo family couldn't even imagine how he would explain to his ancestors after his death why the Luo family had fallen to such a state.

Now, he finally sees a glimmer of hope.

The appearance of Director Huang of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau and the Gu-body Saintess of Miao territory undoubtedly gave the Luo family hope for solving their problems.

"Patriarch Luo, there's no need to be so polite. It was just a small favor. Now that Patriarch Luo is awake, let's not waste any more time. Let's quickly purify the water-suppressing beast. Otherwise, if Patriarch Luo can't hold on any longer, I, Director Huang, will probably have no choice but to take extreme measures. At that time, I'm afraid no one in the Luo family will survive!"

Facing the grief-stricken Luo family head, Huang Miao showed little reaction. The soul he had extracted earlier had already been properly disposed of. He didn't care about the Luo family head's inner thoughts; he only cared about resolving the immediate problem as quickly as possible.

"Yes, I'll go purify the water-suppressing divine beast right away!"

Although the head of the Luo family regained control of his physical body, his soul power was completely exhausted. He was able to hold on until now only because of his strong belief.

Faced with Huang Miao's blunt words, the Luo family head felt a little uncomfortable, but he also understood that things had come to this point and there was no going back.

He could only do his best to solve the problem within the limited time available, so as not to waste Huang Miao's kindness in helping him regain his physical body.

The head of the Luo family struggled to his feet, swaying with each step as if he might collapse at any moment.

But he knew he couldn't fall before he could purify the water-suppressing beast.

No matter how difficult it is, he will persevere!

With this belief, the head of the Luo family persevered and walked out step by step without any outside help.

Meanwhile, under the guns of Gao Yuanda and his group, Luo Qing gathered all the Luo family members except for the Third Elder and Luo Hong outside a seemingly abandoned courtyard.

Not everyone was completely unaware of this courtyard; many people turned pale as they approached it.

With the head of the household unconscious and Luo Qing being held hostage by company personnel, no one dared to speak.

Everyone knew that the Luo family was doomed.

The courtyard gate was open, and the ancient well was clearly visible. The nearby weeds had been cleared away, and Wu Xie and Wang Ye stood on either side of the well, seemingly lost in thought, without even glancing at the Luo family members.

Wu Xie had been following Linglan to study the situation of the Luo family head and was unaware of what happened after Wang Ye and Huang Miao went to the place where the water-suppressing divine beast was located.

Huang Miao's patience with the Luo family seemed to have run out, and Wu Xie couldn't help but wonder if the situation of the water-suppressing divine beast was really so bad that it had been almost completely corrupted.

"Shouldn't Luo Shuxiang be near the water-suppressing divine beast? Didn't she shout that we should protect the Luo family? Didn't she also say that everything was her fault and that she was willing to pay any price to make amends?"
"Didn't you use Luo Shuxiang to purify some of the water-suppressing divine beasts after you went down?"

For the Luo family, only they themselves knew how to purify the water-suppressing divine beast.

But in Wu Xie and Wang Ye's view, these problems are not a concern, and Huang Ju can handle them easily.

Therefore, while Gao Yuanda was staring at everyone in the Luo family, Wu Xie asked Wang Ye in a low voice.

"Luo Shuxiang's situation is somewhat special. Director Huang has made arrangements. We just need to wait here."

Do you think Luo Qing really knows about purification formations?
With so many members of the Luo family, even if each person sheds a little blood, it would amount to a considerable sum. Even if it can't completely purify the water-suppressing divine beast, it should at least purify half of it, right?

When Luo Shuxiang was mentioned, Wang fell silent.

If Director Huang hadn't come in person, he and Wu Xie would probably have been deceived by Luo Shuxiang.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that the mastermind wasn't targeting just one person, but rather starting with the Third Elder, then moving on to Luo Shuxiang, and finally to the head of the Luo family, gradually eroding the souls of the Luo family members.

Using the souls of the Luo family members as nourishment, it occupied their bodies and, by exploiting the connection between the guardian family and the water-suppressing divine beast, deceived and corrupted the water-suppressing divine beast.

Perhaps the water-suppressing divine beast sensed the problem, but was unable to take action due to the suppression of the power protecting its family's bloodline.

Just like Luo Shuxiang, who knowingly did the impossible, only ended up hurting the water-suppressing beast.

Wang didn't want to admit that he had misjudged people and had made a mistake in his judgment, so he could only sigh deeply.

Several question marks appeared above Wu Xie's head.

Wang Ye's attitude seems a bit off.

Previously, Wang Ye felt great sympathy for Luo Shuxiang, a weak woman who had been manipulated from the very beginning!
Forced to this point and ending up in such a state, Luo Shuxiang still remembers that she is a member of the Luo family and is willing to give everything for the family. Isn't she suffering?

"Da-da-da!"

Just as Wu Xie was about to circle around behind Wang Ye to carefully study his change in attitude, a series of crisp footsteps came, startling everyone.

Strangely enough, although the voice reached everyone's ears, it sounded somewhat weak, clearly due to the person's exhaustion.

People coming here at this time are either members of the Luo family, employees of the company, or Huang Miao and his group. But no matter which group they are from, they shouldn't be walking with such unsteady steps.

Following the direction of the footsteps, Wu Xie and Wang Ye immediately spotted the approaching Luo family head.

Not far behind the head of the Luo family were Huang Miao and Linglan.

They walked slowly, their expressions unreadable, but the chill emanating from them was terrifying.

Wasn't the head of the Luo family already possessed by other souls?

What's the reason for his appearance now?

Is the person who came the real head of the Luo family, or the soul that has seized the body?
What's the situation with Director Huang and Linglan?
Wang Ye and Wu Xie exchanged a puzzled look.

"What...how should we deal with this now?"

Logically, with Director Huang making the arrangements, Wang Ye and Wu Xie shouldn't need to worry. But the current situation seems a bit off!
"Let's wait and see, and trust Director Huang!" (End of Chapter)
