Chapter 853 Something Strange About the Pill Pavilion 3
"Yes, Your Excellency."

Yunxi readily agreed and recounted the events, while the Ye siblings added a list of the cultivators they had discovered exhibiting unusual behavior.

Zanglou gripped his cane tightly with his withered hand. Combining the story of the problematic cultivator he had just captured with the accounts of the four fellow cultivators, he suspected that Tian Yu's current state was likely due to a faulty pill.

However, it's not appropriate to publicize the matter of the evil insects right now, he transmitted his voice to Yunxi:

"Ranxi, are these problematic pills related to that evil insect silk?"

Yunxi secretly praised the boss's keen insight and replied telepathically:

"Even if there is no connection between Zanglou Zhenzun and the evil cultivator, it could be a new tactic of the evil cultivators. We must be on guard!"

"The cultivators stationed here are all under my divine sense. It would be best to first control those who had contact with Feng Xichao and exchanged pills with him. After I find out what this black sesame seed dot is, I will deal with them."

Zanglou nodded in tacit approval of Yunxi's actions, then narrowed his cold eyes and looked at the only kneeling cultivator, saying in a cold voice:
"Feng Yan, I am going to search your soul. Do you have any objections?"

What objection could Feng Yan possibly have? Even if she did, she wouldn't dare voice it. She just gave Yun Xi a resentful look and nodded helplessly in agreement. She knew that Feng Xichao was doomed after she had just burned the pills he had refined and removed more than twenty black sesame seeds from them. She even knew that she would be implicated.

Yunxi merely raised an eyebrow and transmitted her voice to Canglou:

“True Venerable One, do not harm Feng Xichao’s divine consciousness. I need to verify the use of the sesame seed on him.”

Zanglou nodded knowingly. This request was not excessive. Since the other party dared to do this, they should be prepared to be attacked.

While the Hidden Tower began its soul-searching process, Yun Xi was also busy. She narrowed her eyes and immersed her consciousness into the space, logged into the chat group, pulled up the online group members, and directly clicked on "Fairy Aura" to start the private chat mode.

"Senior, is it convenient now? I have something to ask you."

A celestial aura emanated from him: "What is it?"

After seeing the reply, Yunxi immediately put the sesame seeds into the jade bottle and sent it to the other party online before replying:
"Senior, could you please help me identify what this is? Someone has been secretly refining this into pills. I don't think it's anything good, but I've never seen it before and can't identify it, so I can only ask you for your help."

Then Yunxi saw that "Fairy Aura" had received what she sent, but did not reply to her immediately. She was not in a hurry and waited patiently.

At this moment, Zanglou Zhenzun had finished searching the soul. Feng Xichao lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, his body trembling uncontrollably, as if he had experienced something terrible.

A cold glint flashed in Zanglou Zhenzun's eyes. He cursed, "Idiot," and then looked at Feng Yan with an indescribable expression.

Feng Yan didn't know what the True Venerable of the Hidden Pavilion had found out, so she took a deep breath and asked:

"True Venerable One, what exactly did this fool do?"

"In order to save the life of your 'closest friend,' your disciple agreed to refine these things into pills. He himself knew that the origin of these things was unknown, so he selectively exchanged these special pills for specific cultivators."

Upon hearing the words "closest friends" emphasized by Canglou Zhenzun, Feng Yan's face darkened, and she abruptly stood up, saying:

"Feng Xichao, do you know what you're doing? Calling you an idiot is an insult to the word 'idiot.' Didn't I warn you not to associate with Uncle Li? He's a wicked person. You agreed, and what happened?"

As she spoke, Feng Yan clenched her fists. She took a deep breath and felt that her disciple had truly brought this upon himself.

Yunxi overheard the conversation but didn't know whether the cultivator called Uncle Chestnut was male or female. However, since he could use this person's life to coerce Feng Xichao into submission, he must be someone very important to him.

Just as Yunxi was sighing, the space chat group responded. A fairy-like voice said, "Little Yunyan, what you sent me is a nematode egg. Has your plane been invaded by the Zerg?"

Upon seeing this line of text, Yunxi's brain raced, quickly grasping the key points, and she immediately replied with her divine sense:

"Senior, are you saying this thing is an egg of the Zerg?"

"Yes."

How far will these insect eggs grow after hatching?

"It depends on the strength of the host. Generally, after the worm eggs enter the body and hatch, they begin to absorb the power of the host until they are drained. Then, the nematode will leave the dead host and look for the next target."

Although this is the lowest tier of Zerg, not as troublesome as the higher tiers and easily wiped out, these nematodes reproduce very quickly, reaching maturity in ten years. They are hermaphroditic and can reproduce on their own. The eggs you sent me are their offspring, and they must be eliminated as soon as possible.

After her guess was confirmed, Yunxi felt a chill run down her spine. What kind of deep-seated hatred could lead someone to introduce an alien species into the war? This evil cultivator had committed the greatest taboo on the battlefield.

However, Yunxi calmed herself and continued to ask:

"Senior, once you are parasitized by nematodes, will you gradually lose your sense of self?"

"Naturally, this kind of insectoid race is the biggest scourge in the Primordial River. They are a combination of all negative energy and garbage. Besides greedily devouring everything, they only have the instinct to reproduce. Even if they evolve to a higher level, it will still be the same. Do you think the host that is parasitized will be affected?"

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I know what to do now."

"Remember, you must completely eradicate them. If even a single insect egg is left, they can come back again."

"Yes, I've made note of it."

Yunxi quickly logged off and withdrew her divine sense from her spatial dimension. Her gaze towards Feng Xichao changed, and she turned to look at Canglou:

"True Venerable One, does he know how dangerous this thing is?"

Zanglou sneered:

"He's a complete idiot. When others said this thing would slow down a cultivator's progress, he believed it, or rather, he chose to believe it. He didn't even bother to verify it before refining it into pills. He's hopelessly stupid."

Yun Xi flicked an insect egg into Feng Xichao's mouth, then said coldly:

"In that case, let him verify it himself."

Then he transmitted the message:
“Venerable Zanglou, the situation is somewhat troublesome. This black sesame seed is the egg of an evil insect. The evil cultivator used Feng Xichao to spread the egg, making the cultivators on the battlefield hosts for the evil insect. Once they turn against us on the battlefield, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties.”

Tian Yu is a good example. The cultivators who died on the battlefield were likely attacked by cultivators like Tian Yu. The entire base must be thoroughly investigated.

My worst fear is that these pills laced with insect eggs will seep into the spirit world.

Zanglou was clearly enraged. His Mahayana stage aura rushed towards Feng Xichao, who was retching, and immediately forced him to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood and fainting.

"Ranxi, arrest them first. I will notify Huayi and the others to send another batch of cultivators to the front line."

See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
