"Your Highness, the situation with Zhang Yanzhao is a bit complicated."

A beautiful woman in white bowed to the Saint and said, "Master Zhang's injuries are more than just simple."

This is an obvious thing.

How could a cultivator take half a year to recover from such an ordinary injury?

For cultivators who reach the Spiritualization Stage, their Nascent Soul (Nascent Soul) further strengthens, slowly transforming into the Primordial Spirit. During this period, their spirit and soul are significantly strengthened. This is a crucial step towards becoming an immortal. Compared to the Nascent Soul Stage, their physical body undergoes further transformation, and their recovery abilities reach a new level.

Ordinary injuries will probably heal on their own in no time.

Bai Qianqian was not surprised, she had expected it.

But the beautiful woman's next words still surprised her.

"He's been poisoned by a Gu, and it's very similar to the Gu found during the Holy Land's Gu crisis some time ago."

"But compared to the Demonic Gu, it's more complicated and more difficult to deal with. This Gu is lurking near Zhang Yanzhao's Dantian, constantly gnawing at his Qi Sea and devouring the spiritual power in his body." The beautiful woman's face looked a little ugly.

Hearing this, Bai Qianqian pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that he encountered the remnants of the Gu God Cult?"

"Did he explain to you how he got hurt?"

She had heard her master talk about the old stories of the Gu Shen Cult more than 800 years ago, and that the remnants of the Gu Shen Cult were still active today.

In fact, Master also wanted to go and wipe out the remnants of the Gushen Cult.

However, the remnants of the Gu Shen Cult are scattered in various places, and it is not easy to find them.

In addition, I had other important matters at hand, so it was delayed.

If I have time in the future, I will have to settle accounts with these remnants of the cult.

Unexpectedly, she found clues here that were suspected to be related to the Gu Shen Cult.

"What he said was vague, and it doesn't seem to be of any use."

"He said that he came to the Myriad Ghosts Ruins and encountered a mysterious man wearing a ghost mask. He fought with him, but was defeated and retreated."

"As for the other party's attack methods, magical weapons, and his approximate cultivation level, he actually said he didn't remember anything."

They seemed to have obtained some information, but it was disjointed. They only knew a location and a person wearing a ghost mask. How could they find him?

If that person no longer wears the same mask and no longer hangs out in that place, what's the point of them knowing all this?

The information seemed to be of no use, but Bai Qianqian still wrote it down.

She then casually asked, "Is there any way to remove this poisonous insect?"

Hearing this, the beautiful elder looked troubled: "I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you are not careful, it may lead to adverse consequences."

Chapter 248 Chaos in Wanghe Sect

"If we had discovered it earlier, maybe we could have found a way. But now the poisonous insect is like a maggot attached to the bone. If we want to remove it safely, we have to rely on a professional poison master." The beautiful female elder said helplessly.

Of course, there is no Gu Master in Ziyang Holy Land, so there is no way to perfectly remove the Gu worm.

If it must be removed by force, it is not impossible, but it will definitely injure Zhang Yanzhao's dantian. Even if he is rescued by then, he will probably be disabled.

At this time, they should consider whether Zhang Yanzhao is worth saving.

Although there are no Gu Masters in the Ziyang Holy Land, if they want to save him, they can find one outside.

However, after just a brief consideration, Bai Qianqian felt that Sect Master Zhang was not worth saving.

She didn't come to Wanghe Sect without knowing anything.

The intelligence system of the Zi Yang Holy Land is very large, and there is almost no information they cannot find.

So she had read some relevant information about Zhang Yanzhao.

For the past five generations of Wanghe Sect, the Zhang family has held the position of Sect Leader.

The Zhang family only accepts their own children as personal disciples and will not accept other disciples.

It was passed down to Zhang Yanzhao, the fifth generation.

The Zi Yang Holy Land will not care about the issue of successors to its affiliated forces.

But Bai Qianqian personally feels that this kind of monopoly of a single family over the head of a sect is inevitably unfair.

She also learned that Zhang Yanzhao had been a playboy when he was young, and even bullied men and women.

However, he did not commit any crime that would affect the interests of the Zi Yang Holy Land, so the Holy Land turned a blind eye to his affairs.

After all, this is Wanghe Sect’s internal affairs. Their holy land can intervene, but there is no need to do so.

There are too many affiliated forces under the Holy Land. If the Holy Land has to worry about each and every one of them, then it will have nothing else to do.

Having said that, the information Bai Qianqian learned about this person from just the paper made her feel very disgusted with him.

"I don't think we need to waste time saving Zhang Yanzhao." Bai Qianqian said lightly, her words seemed to be sentencing Sect Master Zhang to death.

……

On the Zongzhu Peak, there are green pines and towering ancient trees, creating a vibrant scene.

A dark shadow came from a distance and stopped under a tree. He looked at the tall buildings and palaces standing on the top of the mountain.

After calculating the distance, he stood still and took out a xiao that was only a spiritual weapon.

This item is only level three and has a single function, but it is the key to the next plan.

He gently played the magical instrument, the xiao.

However, it didn't make any sound.

It may also be that the sound it makes is not audible to human ears.

This was his first time using this thing, and he wasn't entirely sure it actually worked.

He remembered the scene where the man handed this thing to him yesterday.

Yesterday was a very ordinary day.

A young man came to Qingzhu Peak where the great elder was.

The elder rarely saw outsiders, but the young man came to him again and again. He refused several times, but the other party was too difficult to deal with, so he finally compromised and met with him several times.

Especially the meeting yesterday, which still left a deep impression on him.

……

"Forget it. Who do you think I am? I am the Grand Elder of Wanghe Sect. You think you can do whatever you want in the Eastern Region? Aren't you afraid that I will send someone to send you to Ziyang Holy Land?" It was the first time that the Grand Elder had seen such an arrogant young man in the world.

He actually came to Wanghe Sect alone, wanting to discuss cooperation with him.

I don’t know where the courage comes from?

"Senior Feng, I heard that before you joined the Wanghe Sect, you were a wandering cultivator in the Eastern Region." The young man who always had a defiant smile on his face started chatting with him about the past.

When the young man mentioned his past, the elder remained calm.

Because his information was known to many people, the young man was just bringing up some outdated information.

However, the young man's next action made the elder a little nervous.

The young man took out an old wooden sign and weighed it in his hand.

This wooden plaque doesn't seem to be made of any precious materials, and there are several chips and cracks on the surface.

It looks like some junk picked up from some street stall.

"Where did you get this from?" The elder widened his eyes, looking at the young man in disbelief as he tossed and caught the thing in his hand again and again.

The young man took in his reaction. He curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "Well, I found this from a corpse. As for what it represents, I don't need to explain it to you, junior."

The Great Elder frowned tightly, his breathing hitched, and his eyes turned uneasily: "Tell me, what do you want?"

The great elder, who had maintained a high profile before, took a 180-degree turn in his attitude after seeing that thing.

"I don't want anything." The young man kept a wicked smile on his face, and a small musical instrument similar to a xiao appeared out of thin air in his palm.

"I know that the Great Elder has long wanted to replace Zhang Yanzhao. This thing of mine can help you achieve your wish."

……

Feng Buxuan withdrew his thoughts. He still didn't understand how the young man knew so much information.

He didn't understand how the wooden sign ended up in the other person's hand.

Damn it, he just wanted to spend the rest of his life in the Eastern Region and no longer care about the past.

But he still couldn't escape.

Even though he has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, can he still not escape the fate's tricks?

I'm so unwilling~

He just wants to be the master of his own destiny, why is it so difficult?

At the same time, on the other side, many monks from the Ziyang Holy Land gathered at the place where the sect leader Zhang Yanzhao was in seclusion.

They diagnosed the sect leader one by one, but everyone shook their heads after the examination.

"Sect Master Zhang, your situation is quite serious. A poisonous insect has entered your Dantian and is now lurking near your Nascent Soul."

"We are not Gu Masters, so we can't forcefully remove the Gu worm. If we do, it might cause irreversible damage to your Nascent Soul."

"You don't want your Nascent Soul to be destroyed by us, do you?"

Zhang Yanzhao's head is still buzzing with worry over what a certain medical practitioner said.

He knew that there seemed to be a poisonous insect in his stomach, but he didn't expect that this particular poisonous insect would be so troublesome.

He had tried many methods to kill the poisonous insects in his body before, but all failed and made his injuries worse.

I had thought that the people from Zi Yang Holy Land would have some profound ideas, but they were also helpless.

"How could this happen? You are all masters of the Ziyang Holy Land. Can't you even solve such a small problem?" When Zhang Yanzhao heard that they didn't know how to cure the poison he had been infected with, he panicked.

One of the female medical cultivators said, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, this isn't a small problem; it's a very, very big one. This Gu is called the Origin Demonic Gu, a sixth-tier Gu. It can even have a certain effect on cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage, let alone those at the Spiritual Transformation stage."

"If it is activated, it will multiply rapidly within your body, devouring your flesh and blood while fighting each other within you. Those insects that are defeated in the fight will not die meaninglessly; their corpses will merge with your flesh and blood."

"Eventually, I'll transform you into a monster similar to the one with Gu blood."

Almost at the same time she spoke, Zhang Yanzhao felt a stomachache.

"You said the poisonous insects will eat my flesh?" A lot of sweat was secreted on Sect Master Zhang's forehead, cheeks and neck. The parts of his body covered by clothes also secreted a lot of sweat, making the clothes stick to his skin.

He felt his stomach churning, as if countless worms were crawling in his blood vessels and gnawing at his flesh.

Zhang Yanzhao suddenly fell to the ground, holding his stomach and rolling around.

"Ah!~"

He let out a scream at the top of his lungs.

The monks from Zi Yang Holy Land were confused by his sudden behavior.

until.

"puff!"

Zhang Yanzhao, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. In the pool of blood, there were actually many tiny insects wriggling.

At this time, those people realized that something was wrong.

"Oh no, the poison in his body has taken effect." A woman shouted at this time.

They had all experienced the poisonous insect crisis in the holy land, and they also knew that those people turned into ugly monsters after being infected by the poisonous insects.

Zhang Yanzhao's behavior looked like he was about to be assimilated by the insect and turned into a monster.

Without much discussion, they all fled in all directions.

They were all alchemists or medical practitioners who were not good at fighting and had no ability to deal with the situation that followed, so they fled in all directions.

In almost an instant, everyone here disappeared.

Not long after these people ran out, the dome of the house where Zhang Yanzhao was in seclusion was torn from the inside.

The towering palace on the Zongzhu Peak collapsed in the earthquake.

A figure flew out from the collapsed building.
