What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

When that wisp of malevolent energy finally reached the Gu King's vital point, I "saw" an extremely bizarre and shocking microscopic scene.

Above the Gu King's vital point, a ball of pitch-black energy lingered.

This energy was extremely condensed, radiating an aura of deathly cold that could even devour light.

This is the malevolent energy left behind by my grandfather!

Even after thirty years, this malevolent aura remains incomparably domineering.

When I manipulated this wisp of malevolent energy to approach, the malevolent energy left behind by my grandfather did not obstruct me, but even slightly parted to make way for me.

What shocked me most was the scene obscured by my grandfather's menacing aura.

At the very core of Grandpa's black aura, there was actually a Gu lurking!

It was a tiny insect with an eerie blue-purple color.

It bit down hard on the core of the Gu King's vital point, and countless invisible transparent tentacles pierced deep into the Gu King's essence.

The moment my senses touched the blue-purple Gu worm, an extremely cold and somewhat sweet aura tried to counterattack against my malevolent energy.

However, before it could even come into contact with my wisp of malevolent energy, it was annihilated by the malevolent energy left behind by my grandfather.

However, I'm all too familiar with this scent!

I've been to the back mountain of Huilongzhai and the sewers of Jiangcheng.

The methods of Wandie Valley!

Moreover, the Gu worm parasitizing the Gu King's vital point is of a higher grade and has a more sinister aura than any other Gu worm I have ever seen in the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies.

It's like a malignant tumor parasitizing the roots of a towering tree, silently trying to drain the tree of its nutrients and eventually take its place.

It was as if a bolt of lightning struck my mind, tearing apart the fog of thirty years ago.

Lan Manshan said that it was because of the presence of this evil energy that the Gu King fell into a deep sleep.

But that's not the case at all!

I stared intently at the clash of the two forces at the vital point, my heart filled with astonishment.

The malevolent energy left behind by Grandpa was not intended to seal or harm the Gu King at all.

The malevolent energy transformed into an indestructible cage, trapping the parasitic Gu from Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley firmly at the Gu King's vital point.

Moreover, over the past thirty years, Grandpa's malevolent aura has been like a dull knife, constantly weakening and peeling away this parasitic worm!

I could clearly "see" that the skin of the blue-purple parasitic gu had been corroded by the evil energy, leaving it pitted and uneven.

More than 90% of the transparent tentacles that it had embedded in the Gu King's essence were forcibly severed by the evil energy.

It is now like a venomous snake whose fangs have been pulled, clinging desperately to its last vestiges of life, making a final, desperate struggle.

Grandpa was saving this Gu King back then!

I see, I see!

If Grandpa hadn't injected that malevolent energy back then, this parasitic Gu from Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley would probably have completely devoured the Gu King's essence long ago.

At that time, the Gu King, whom the Lan family regards as their lifeblood, will become a puppet of the Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley!

Grandpa must have realized how troublesome this parasitic worm was back then.

Therefore, he chose the safest, but also the most effective, method.

Using his purest malevolent energy, he sealed the parasitic gu along with the gu king's vital point.

Then take a long time to slowly wear it down!

No wonder Grandpa said he wouldn't save him ten years ago.

It's not that he's unwilling to take action, it's just that the time isn't right yet!

Now, ten years later, Grandpa's malevolent energy has weakened the parasitic gu to the extreme.

Now, we're just one step away from completely eradicating this cancerous growth in Wandie Valley.

And now, I've arrived.

Grandpa, did you foresee this back then?

I slowly withdrew the probing aura, opened my eyes, and exhaled a long breath of stale air.

"Young friend Chen, how is the situation?"

When Lan Manshan saw me open my eyes, he immediately came closer, even lowering his voice.

"Could it be that the malevolent energy left behind by your grandfather... has already invaded your vital energy gate?"

Grandpa.

I spoke calmly, my voice echoing in the empty underground cavern.

"The situation is far more complicated than we imagined."

The malevolent energy left behind by my grandfather back then wasn't the key to the Gu King's slumber at all.

Lan Manshan was stunned, and asked hesitantly, "Young friend... what do you mean by that?"

I didn't hide anything and told Lan Manshan everything I had found out.

From the parasitic Gu on the vital point to that familiar aura of the Valley of Ten Thousand Butterflies.

Then there's the true effect of Grandpa's malevolent aura over the past thirty years—stripping and strangulation.

As I recounted the story, Lan Manshan's expression shifted from confusion to shock, and then to extreme anger.

In the end, it turned into a deep sense of lingering fear and dejection.

His once straight back seemed to hunch over instantly at that moment.

"Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley...Ten Thousand Butterfly Valley!!"

Lan Manshan gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with terrifying killing intent.

Even the surrounding poisonous miasma churned up due to the violent fluctuations in his energy.

"What a clever scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work! What a clever usurpation of power!"

Back then, the old patriarch was misled by them, and I only thought they wanted to weaken the Lan family.

Unexpectedly, they had already set their sights on my Lan family's Gu King thirty years ago!

At this point, Lan Manshan suddenly turned around, faced me, and bowed deeply.

"Young friend Chen Yang, I, Lan Manshan, on behalf of all the ancestors of the Lan family, express my deepest gratitude to Mr. Chen for his great kindness!"

His voice was hoarse: "I had previously speculated that the evil energy left behind by the old man was to suppress the Gu King of my Lan family."

This old man...is ashamed!

I stepped aside to avoid his bow and reached out to help him up: "Grandpa, you're too kind."

Since Grandpa made that choice back then, he must have had his reasons.

Now is not the time to talk about these things. The most urgent task is to get rid of that parasitic worm.

Lan Manshan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down and regaining his dignity as an elder of the Lan family: "Young friend is right."

Now that the parasitic worm is on its last breath, what should we do?

Do you need me to use the resources of the Lan family to cooperate with you?

I shook my head, my gaze returning to the Gu King.

"It's not needed."

The Gu King is currently in an extremely fragile state and cannot withstand any forced intervention from external forces.

I touched the black bone needles that were placed close to my body, feeling the cool aura flowing between my eyebrows.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

That malevolent energy was left behind by my grandfather; it shares the same origin as me and will not reject my power.

I'll be the one to finish that final push.

I looked at Lan Manshan, my tone becoming somewhat serious: "But Grandpa, I need to be absolutely focused during the process that follows."

Lan Manshan understood what I meant. He didn't say anything more, but just nodded solemnly.

He then retreated to the edge of the cave's main hall, sat cross-legged, and placed the black gourd in front of him.
