She was holding the main body of the “soul-searching technique”, and she could see and hear the pain and wailing of those innocent men and women in the memory of the middle-aged Taoist Master. Her expression gradually became colder, and her soul power became more and more fierce.
The soul of the Taoist Master, whose head was tightly grasped by her, had already lost its shape.
The other party screamed for the last time, and his soul was directly squeezed out by Gu Zhisang, and slowly scattered in the underworld like burnt ashes.
No one complained about this person anymore.
In addition to the two people in the special spiritual members who died at the hands of the evil spirit, the youngest junior brother who came with the Qianqing Sect on this trip was also gone.
Some of the disciples who knew nothing had their eyes wide open and their faces purple. They seemed to have been drained of strength and stopped struggling. They just kept muttering:
“How…how could this happen…”
The members of the special spiritual team all held back their tears gritted their teeth and said:
“This beast deserves to die! He deserves to die after doing these things!”
After the last bit of soul light completely dissipated, the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect, who had been silent with a gloomy face, finally spoke.
Because he knew that he was fooled, he didn’t have too many thoughts about the death of the middle-aged Taoist Master at the hands of Gu Zhisang. Instead, he thought that it was good for that man to die for using him.
But he also couldn’t stand Gu Zhisang’s arrogant attitude, but now the situation forced him to “reluctantly” lower his noble head, and say in a good manner:
“Miss Gu, I didn’t know that this man had such a vicious plot. I know you are angry for this murderer… for this Yan Cheng. Now that he is fine, you should kill that man to vent your anger.”
“The rest of us have been deceived to this point. Why don’t you do something convenient for us and make a good relationship with our Qianqing Sect? Let’s put aside the past grudges.”
Although Yan Cheng, who has always been at the center of the vortex, doesn’t understand what “charm” he has that can make people go to great lengths to kill him, she has long been accustomed to the malice from the Taoist Sects.
After listening to the words of the deputy head of the Qianqing Sect, she couldn’t help but frown.
After so many years, these “high and mighty” old predecessors were still like this. They can be so arrogant and justified when asking for help. It was also unique.
The implication of his words was, ‘If you helped me, Qianqing Sect will give you face and forget the past.’
She doesn’t know whether to say he was naive or too confident, so confident that he thinks she dared not offend the entire Qianqing Sect.
But it was obvious that Gu Zhisang didn’t buy this gourd.
She chuckled, her eyes were deep, and she crossed her arms and said:
“Forget the past? What face and qualifications does this elder have to say these words?”
“Yan Cheng, who was put in danger by your selfish desires, the other group who paid their lives for this, and the innocent people who were also slaughtered by the evildoers who should be protected by you, are the qualified people to say the words ‘forget the past’. You are only qualified to kneel and kowtow and beg for their forgiveness.”
“You are so presumptuous!”
The deputy headmaster who was exposed blushed.
It turned out that among the four spies found out before, the youngest one, who was also brought to the Qianqing Sect from the mortal world when he was young, was the product of the old man’s romantic affairs in the mortal world decades ago.
When he came out of the mountains, he met a beautiful ordinary woman.
In that relatively conservative era when the country was just founded, he felt that it was a blessing for the other party that he, a cultivator from the outside world, could fall in love with ordinary people.
So the deputy headmaster of the sect acted recklessly and had a short relationship with the woman half coaxed and half forced.
After the other party became pregnant for several months, he received an order from the sect and abandoned the woman without any nostalgia.
When he left, he only left some gold and silver and a sentence of ‘abort the child’, and then disappeared.
In the eyes of the deputy headmaster of the sect, how could an ordinary woman be worthy of returning to the Qianqing Sect with him?
He never thought that in the environment at that time, it was difficult for a woman to have an abortion after being pregnant for six months.
In addition, the general environment at that time was conservative, and it would be difficult for her, a single woman who was pregnant before marriage, to be treated kindly.
In short, decades later, a young man came to the Qianqing Sect to seek refuge, saying that the deputy headmaster was his grandfather, and also said how miserable and painful his grandmother’s life was.
After verifying the bloodline and confirming that this was indeed his grandson, the deputy headmaster placed him in the sect and taught him to enter the Tao.
Because this illegitimate grandson was extremely talented, he gradually valued this child.
Who would have thought that this child had been a spy since he came to seek refuge?
He came with hatred.
The reason why he made rapid progress was that he also took a lot of evil medicine made from the essence and blood of living people, just like the middle-aged Xuanshi.
After his grandson was arrested, the deputy head felt ashamed and angry. He also felt that this was his bloodline, how could he be dragged out to be criticized and humiliated, which would damage his reputation?
So he pulled him out of the place of detention forcefully, so his grandson hasn’t received the punishment he deserves so far.
From the beginning to the end, this person only felt that his bloodline was noble and that his grandson was excusable.
But when he was shielding the other party, he never thought about how innocent and painful those ordinary people who died at the hands of his grandson were.
Feeling the coldness in Gu Zhisang’s words, the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect scolded:
“You yellow-haired girl, are you going to teach me a lesson?!”
He thought he was not weaker than Gu Zhisang.
No matter how talented this woman was, she could not be much stronger than him.
The reason why he was at a disadvantage and so embarrassed was that he was indeed attacked by the big ghost, and now all his strength could not be used!
He was bitten by hundreds of ghosts and was trapped because he was powerless.
This woman was a messenger from the underworld. She could only avoid the ghosts because she have a good relationship with the ghosts in the underworld.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhisang raised her hand again.
This time, she cut off the ghost rope on the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect, and before the other party got up, she grabbed the old man’s neck with her soul power and lifted him.
Like the others, the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect also had a big bulge in his abdomen, like a seven-month pregnancy.
Just after listening to the complaints of the members of the special spiritual team, Gu Zhisang already knew the reason for the bulge.
The Taoist Masters and cultivators have the power to protect their bodies, especially to protect their souls and prevent the essence and blood from being taken away.
If their essence and blood were drained, then their lives would be in danger and their Taoism would be gone.
Therefore, if every cultivator was forced into a corner and felt threatened, he could risk his life to detonate his blood essence;
Since they were all going to die, they could not let the other party benefit or have an easy life.
The eldest daughter who turned into a big ghost does have the ability to directly kill everyone except the deputy headmaster of the Qianqing Sect, but what she wants is the blood essence and Taoism of these masters, not a dead body.
One of the two dead special spiritual members chose to commit suicide when his blood essence was forcibly deprived, so both of them could perish together.
Although it failed to seriously injure the eldest daughter, it delayed the other party and simply trapped the Taoist Masters and the others.
The eldest daughter knew that she could not rob openly, so she did it secretly.
It searched for some ghost mothers in the underworld, tore the souls of those pregnant ghost women into pieces devoured them, and took away the ghost babies in their bodies.
These ghost mothers and babies who had an accident before their death and died in one body are two souls in one body after returning to the underworld.
Once the unformed ghost baby is placed in the body of a living person, it will regard humans as the new “mother”.
It doesn’t matter if it was a man without a uterus, they mainly absorb the essence and vitality of the living and continue to grow bigger and stronger.
Until the parasitic ‘mother’ is eaten up, the satisfied ghost baby will crawl out of the corpse.
The more powerful the ‘mother’, the more powerful the ghost baby will be.
At the same time, these ‘mothers’ can live longer because of their sufficient essence and blood and more vitality.
The eldest daughter used these ghost babies to plot against these Taoist Masters.
The more they used their strength, the faster their blood and vitality would be lost and devoured by the ghosts in their stomachs.
Only then were these Taoist Masters tied up and hung at the entrance of hell.
Knowing that they were about to die and had no chance of survival, most people might be able to be cruel and die with the enemy.
But when faced with a situation where there was still a glimmer of hope, knowing that there was a group of ghosts in their stomachs that were still devouring their blood, flesh, and essence, how many people could be cruel and commit suicide directly?
This method of boiling a frog in warm water would give people hope.
It would make those Taoist Masters think: What if the rescue team outside arrives soon?
With this idea in mind, these Taoist Masters could only hold on.
In just two days, the ghost babies in their stomachs grew bigger and bigger!
