Master Lin was awakened by the urge to suffocate.

He quickly understood the situation and tried to pry Zhao Youde's hand off.

Zhao Youde could even destroy the Celestial Masters Sect, so naturally he wouldn't care about Master Lin, with whom he had only a casual relationship. He squeezed hard and almost crushed Master Lin to death.

He coughed and said coldly, "Let me go, or I'll strangle him."

Master Lin anxiously gave Mingluo meaningful glances.

Minglu scoffed lightly. "Release Zhao Youde?"

dream!

She picked up the golden silkworm gu that was trapped by spiritual energy on the ground and silently forced a little of her own blood into it.

Meanwhile, he secretly inscribed a beast-taming spell on the spirit energy ball, hoping to make the golden silkworm Gu recognize him as its master.

Although she didn't know how to refine Gu, she had tamed many beasts in the divine realm. At this point, she could only try anything as a last resort, hoping that the beast-taming spell would work.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her blood merged into the spiritual energy ball, the golden silkworm gu began to devour it like a madman.

Meanwhile, in Mingluo's mind, the Golden Silkworm Gu's faint, ingratiating voice echoed.

Delicious, delicious, so delicious...

Mingluo felt reassured!

It seems this Golden Silkworm Gu and Bai Xiaobai are cut from the same cloth...

She feigned hesitation, and after a long while, said calmly, "I can release you, but how can you guarantee that you will keep your word and not harm Master Lin?"

Master Lin looked at Mingluo gratefully, thinking that this girl was not bad.

Zhao Youde snorted coldly, "Do you still have a choice now?"

"Indeed!" Mingluo sighed softly. "Then you should leave!"

She stepped aside, her gaze calm and clear.

Zhao Youde was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Mingluo to let him go so easily.

Before he could figure it out, the others with him were already rushing out.

Zhao Youde snorted coldly, holding Master Lin hostage, staring at Ming Luo, and carefully moved to the doorway.

Seeing that his wariness had lessened considerably, Mingluo said, "Wait, don't you want your Golden Silkworm Gu anymore? The Golden Silkworm Gu is not easy to refine, you should keep it."

Before Zhao Youde could react, she threw the golden silkworm gu in her hand at him.

Zhao Youde instinctively caught the ball, and in that split second, Nie Yuchen and Mingluo worked together seamlessly.

Nie Yuchen used a burst of spiritual energy to pull Master Lin's hand away from Zhao Youde's grasp.

At this moment, Mingluo gave orders to the Golden Silkworm Gu.

Without hesitation, the Golden Silkworm Gu bit into Zhao Youde.

A scream of agony rang out.

Zhao Youde gripped his hand, his face contorted in pain, and a layer of black mist quickly rose from his skeletal face.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mingluo quickly captured Zhao Youde.

The Golden Silkworm Gu then chased after those who had fled, biting each of them.

Screams filled the air.

Those people quickly collapsed to the ground, all poisoned.

The Golden Silkworm Gu fawned over Mingluo, looking just like a pet dog...

Mingluo directed the Golden Silkworm Gu to extract the antidote from Zhao Youde's body.

Nie Yuchen took a stick of incense and a bottle of medicine and said, "I'll take care of it. You rest for a bit."

Minglu scoffed lightly. She really didn't want to do these trivial things, so she let Nie Yuchen do it.

Nie Yuchen lit incense and then fed Master Gu and Fang Zhengqi the antidote.

Master Gu and Fang Zhengqi each coughed up a few mouthfuls of foul blood and regained their senses. Master Lin also regained his strength.

The three were still shaken. If it weren't for Mingluo being there today, their Xuanmen Association and these old Xuanmen sects would have been finished.

Master Gu sighed, "Mingluo, thank you so much! Our Xuanmen Association will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives. We will come back to thank you properly after we have dealt with Zhao Youde's matter."

Fang Zhengqi gratefully cupped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Master Lin let out a long, frustrated sigh.

It seems that Zhao Youde's betrayal was a significant blow to them.

Minglu hummed in agreement and turned to leave.

She really needs to find a place to take a good look at the golden silkworm gu she just acquired.

The golden silkworm gu had just sucked her blood when it was thrown out to fight, and she didn't have time to take a good look at it.

Now, it appears that its body is subtly turning from black to gold.

If that's the case, it means this Gu worm is truly about to transform into a Gu King.

She held the Golden Silkworm Gu in her palm. This Gu worm was small and ugly, but its body was indeed shimmering with black and gold, and it was only one step away from transforming into a Gu King.

However, she only made the Golden Silkworm Gu recognize her as its master in a moment of desperation.

But this guy is so ugly...

If we take her in, she'll be so wronged.

As if sensing Mingluo's disdain, the Golden Silkworm Gu immediately tried to establish a connection with Mingluo and then flew out in a circle.

Soon, Mingluo discovered that her vision had changed; she was seeing the same view that the Golden Silkworm Gu was seeing. The entire building appeared to her from a bird's-eye view.

That's pretty impressive...

The Golden Silkworm Gu quickly flew to the room where Master Gu was.

At this moment, everyone woke up to see how Master Gu would punish Zhao Youde...

Minglu suddenly discovered the wonderful uses of the Golden Silkworm Gu.

He's quite the voyeur.

She ordered the Golden Silkworm Gu to return, and the Golden Silkworm Gu nestled obediently in her palm, looking very ingratiating.

Nie Yuchen watched Mingluo communicate with the Golden Silkworm Gu quietly before stepping forward. He took out an exquisitely crafted little bell from his person and said gently, "You can use it to store it."

Mingluo glanced at the small bell. Its hollow design and golden sheen made it beautiful and exquisite. It was perfect for holding the Golden Silkworm Gu and could also be hung on her waist.
