The man in black was terrified. He no longer cared about Yu Chuan and just wanted to leave.

However, just as he was about to teleport away, the scattered flowers instantly adhered to his body as if they were air.

The man in black jumped and forcefully tore off the flower petals, but as soon as he tore them off and threw them away, the petals would reattach themselves the next moment.

One of the pieces was placed directly on the wound on his wrist, making a hissing sound when it touched the blood, and then it went right in.

Once that piece of floral pattern went in, the other pieces of floral pattern also started to seep into the flesh.

Some things couldn't get through the clothes, so they climbed up to the black-clad man's neck, hands, feet, and face, trying to burrow inside.

"Ah..." the man in black roared.

"Hiss..." Shu Jianyue shivered.

Besides Lou Qiongshang, Yuchuan and Shu Wangtian weren't much better off.

"Let's leave. There's no guarantee those man-eating plants won't come after us after they've eaten this person," Lou Qiongshang said, looking at the giant man-eating plant swaying behind them.

Shu Jianyue glanced at them, nodded, and was about to say let's go when several people appeared beside her.

Chong Jiu placed Si Huaijin on the ground, let An Xi go to Shu Jianyue's side, then turned to look at the person being swallowed up bit by bit by the broken flower petals, and then looked at the few large man-eating flowers.

"Bloodthirsty Spider".

Huo Yanyan, who had come with him, looked at him in surprise, "Your Excellency actually recognizes this flower!"

"This flower has existed in the Chongxian Sect for thousands of years, and very few people can recognize it. I didn't expect the Venerable One to know it."

"This Bloodthirsty Spider was transplanted from somewhere by the founding ancestor of the sect. He only instructed the sect to take good care of it and not let it see blood, and that was all."

"Over the years, several hundred disciples have been devoured by these Bloodthirsty Spiders, but with the Grandmaster's orders in place, no one dares to dispose of these flowers."

"Since Your Excellency recognizes them, do you know how to defend against them?"

Chong Jiu shook his head. "It's impossible to prevent. Once this Bloodthirsty Spider is planted, you may not be able to get rid of it even if you want to."

“They are deeply rooted and have a complex network of roots. Unless you can completely uproot them, they will grow back as long as you leave even a little bit of root.”

"There were only a few of these Bloodthirsty Spiders at first, right? But as more and more people were devoured, many more grew, didn't they?"

Huo Yanyan nodded, "Yes, at first there were only two plants, but now there's a whole patch of them."

“These blood-devouring spiders cannot be cut or chopped, otherwise they will only multiply.” Chong Jiu said, pointing to the petals that had already devoured the man in black and were now crawling out of the man in black. “If one of these petals burrows into the soil, a new flower will grow.”

"And this flower has been cut into dozens of pieces. Congratulations, the Chongxian Sect has gained dozens more Bloodthirsty Spiders."

Huo Yanyan wasn't stupid; she naturally gleaned an important piece of information from his words: "You mean, if we let them stay here any longer, and another disciple breaks in, then these flowers could very well cover the entire Chongxian Sect!"

Chong Jiu said, "If you don't have the brain-dead idea to cut him down again, then it won't happen. They don't reproduce naturally, but they can reproduce through their own branches."

"So, if you want to get rid of them, you'll have to dig up all their roots and burn them; otherwise, it's all in vain."

Huo Yanyan frowned, wondering what the ancestor was trying to do and why he brought back this kind of flower.

Now things are really messed up; if this continues, the Chongxian Sect will have to move.

Chong Jiu turned to look at the new god-king Hu Yi who had come with him, "You had better give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise I don't mind having the temple change to a new god-king."

Hu Yi shuddered and wanted to deny it, but many people had seen him following behind him.

Can you provide an explanation? How should I explain it?

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't afford to offend this person, there would be no need for any explanation.

He's just someone who's suspected to be the God of Jiuze. Once Lord Banheng confirms it, let's see what you have to be so arrogant about.

“Your Excellency, there may be some misunderstanding. We have just arrived in Shenzhou and are not very familiar with some things here. He may have gone to the wrong place.”

"Heh, wrong place?" Shu Jianyue sneered as she looked at him.

“He followed the main body’s son all the way here, and when he saw that there was no one else around, he made his move.”

"What? Is it my son's fault that he went to the wrong place?"

"Then next time, I'll also go to the wrong place and run into a temple to catch someone to play with?"

As soon as she said that, Hu Yi's face immediately turned dark red.

This woman...

Huo Yanyan glanced at Hu Yi, thinking that today was the fourth anniversary of the Chongxian Sect, so he spoke up: "Venerable Shu, today is the fourth anniversary of the Chongxian Sect, could you please be lenient?"

Hu Yi thought he was pleading for him and breathed a sigh of relief, but Huo Yanyan's next words made his face turn pale.

"Whatever you want to do after leaving the Chongxian Sect, I, the sect leader, will not interfere. For the sake of the Chongxian Sect, I will tolerate it for now, okay?" Huo Yanyan said, glancing at Hu Yi.

Shu Jianyue snorted coldly at Hu Yi and looked at Chong Jiu.

Chong Jiu stared at the Bloodthirsty Spiders without saying a word. After a long while, he said, "If the temple doesn't give an explanation by tomorrow, I will go to the temple myself to find one."

Before Hu Yi could refute, he pulled Shu Jianyue and Yan Xi away.

Yu Chuan glanced at Hu Yi, then took Si Huaijin's hand and followed behind Lou Qiongshang. "Huaijin, thank you. You're pretty quick, though. You got them here so fast."

Si Huaijin looked up at him and said, "I'll go back, and Master Chong will be here soon."

Yu Chuan choked. Well, he still had to thank him.

Hu Yi looked at the pile of skeletons and black clothes on the ground, then glanced at the Bloodthirsty Spider, and another thought arose in his mind.

But before he could think any further, Huo Yanyan interrupted his thoughts.

"Lord God, you've been staring at the Bloodthirsty Spider the whole time. You're not thinking of making a move on it, are you?"

Huo Yanyan looked at him with a half-smile, "You heard what that Venerable One said just now. Planting this flower will be a real problem."

Hu Yi smiled and shook his head. "I was just curious about where this flower came from and why he knew so much about it."

Huo Yanyan looked at the Bloodthirsty Spiders and sneered inwardly, but his words did not reveal the mockery in his heart.

"The world is vast and full of wonders. It is not surprising that the Venerable One, with his extensive knowledge, knows some things about it."

"Besides, this flower isn't anything good, so it's best not to be curious."

Hu Yi glanced at him sideways and said, "Whether something is good or not depends on where it's used and who's using it."

"The congratulations have been delivered, and I, the Divine Lord, shall now take my leave."

Huo Yanyan narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard that he was leaving. The celebration had only just begun and he was already leaving. He really thought too highly of himself.

In China, there is only one universally acknowledged deity: Weisheng Ce.

These newcomers are all just putting on a show.
