Chu Si, who should have rushed over with him, was now standing below with his arms crossed, looking at him with extremely cold eyes.

At that moment, Wei Yong's heart sank, and before he could panic, he turned to run away.

But faced with such a huge difference in cultivation level, how could Wei Yong possibly escape?

As soon as he turned around, a terrifying demonic power blocked his path, followed by a spider silk that shot out and firmly stuck his entire back.

No matter how hard you struggle, it's all in vain.

Wei Yong felt as if his back was stuck to a spider web, his whole body pressed tightly against it, and he could hardly move even his fingers.

The four people below simply watched silently from beginning to end, showing no intention of offering any help.

Wei Yong felt disheartened, but still roared angrily.

"Chu Si! Why are you like this?!"

Chu Si didn't say a word. He turned around and conjured a golden longsword with his bare hands. He slashed at the spider web in front of him four times, up, down, left, and right. The spider web, which originally had a strong ability to regenerate, was now recovering very slowly. There was a passage big enough for one person to pass through. Chu Si lifted his foot to leave without hesitation.

The others immediately followed.

Wei Yong might not even be enough to feed the spider demon twice, so he had to seize this opportunity to escape.

Compared to the panic of the others, Chu Si remained calm and composed. He bent down to crawl through the hole, and just as he looked up to leave, a silver-white figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Seeing the pair of shoes embroidered with cranes and auspicious clouds on the other person's feet, Chu Si was startled. He looked up and saw Jin Shu standing in front of him. Under the aura of a transcendent powerhouse, Chu Si could hardly see her face.

"Master, hurry! Senior Brother has been captured by the Wolf-Faced Spider Demon! I was just about to come find you!"

Jin Shu looked at Chu Si and thought to herself that this kid's mind works really fast. What was clearly a murder with ulterior motives turned into an accident in his eyes.

Wei Yong inside had already closed his eyes and was waiting to die.

He did have some ability to resist, but the thought that he might die a terrible death if he resisted made him think that he might as well fight back and get a quick death.

However, just as he was despairingly awaiting death, a sharp gust of wind suddenly swept past his side. He opened his eyes abruptly and saw that the spider demon's long leg in front of him had been easily cleaved in two by the wind blade!

This move was swift and decisive. The claws, which were originally harder than black iron stone, were now as brittle as a reed in front of the wind blade, and it was done with almost no effort.

The spider demon was in pain; its most important claw had been severed, and its body twisted uncontrollably as it let out a huge roar.

The moment Wei Yong, who was firmly stuck in the spider web, saw Jin Shu, tears streamed down his face.

"Master!! Your disciple is here!! Master!!"

Wei Yong was both scared and aggrieved. Even though the spider demon was right beside him, he wasn't worried at all that he would lose his life here.

Jin Shu looked up at him, then flicked her finger, and Wei Yong fell to the ground with a thud.

The spider demon, who was originally furious, turned around and ran away in fear after seeing Jin Shu's face.

Watching its disheveled escape, Jin Shu didn't give chase.

These days, it's not easy to cultivate into a powerful demon, let alone a spider demon, who used to be at the bottom of the food chain. That makes it even more difficult.

Soon, the spider demon jumped into the reeds and disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Chu Si's eyes instantly darkened.

Damn it, Jin Shu actually showed up at this time! Of all times, why now of all times?

Having survived the ordeal, Wei Yong stumbled and crawled toward Jin Shu.

"Master!! Your disciple almost didn't see you again!!"

"Master, Junior Brother Chu, he..."

Wei Yong was about to speak when Chu Si and another junior brother covered his mouth.

"Senior brother, you're too frightened, don't talk nonsense. Let us take you to rest."

Wei Yong wanted to speak, but suddenly felt as if his upper and lower lips were stuck together, and he couldn't open them at all.

His eyes were red with panic as he looked at Jin Shu. He wanted to speak but his mouth was sealed. He tried to struggle but found that Chu Si and his junior brother's cultivation was incredibly powerful. Even though he had obtained Jin Shu's thousand years of cultivation, he couldn't break free at all.

Wei Yong's unusual behavior was too obvious, so Chu Si secretly reached out to make him shut up completely.

However, just as the spiritual energy in his hand was released, a powerful force suddenly pulled Wei Yong away from him. Before he could react, a slap landed cleanly on his face with a "smack".

This slap completely stunned Chu Si, who was usually proud and arrogant.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Jin Shu, the hatred in his eyes still not concealed.

He got slapped! After all these years, he's actually been slapped in the face!

The junior brothers and sisters standing nearby were also terrified, staring at Jin Shu in disbelief.

Chu Si is the chosen one of Heaven, the embodiment of all spirits in the six realms, a celestial being nurtured by the blood and flesh of his entire clan.

Therefore, even when he was a child, before he had even learned to walk, he already possessed tens of thousands of years of cultivation.

This was given to him by his elders.

It was all so that he could one day ascend to the Ninth Heaven and kill Jin Shu in one blow.

Such a proud and powerful person was actually slapped in public. Everyone fell silent, looking at Jin Shu with hatred in their eyes.

Chu Si kept his head down, his back straight, and remained silent.

Jin Shu slowly walked forward and looked at him.

"Do you think I'm a fool you can easily fool? Or are you too confident in your strength, thinking you can do whatever you want under my nose?"

It's been exposed.

Chu Si raised his head and looked at Jin Shu, seeing that her cold eyes were still calm and indifferent, like a jade Buddha who was neither sad nor happy.

Because he kept his clansman's mission firmly in mind, Chu Si swallowed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"Master, your disciple knows his mistake."

"You know you're wrong? Where did you go wrong?"

“Your disciple should not be resentful and jealous that your senior brother can gain the master’s favor and affection, so you deliberately plotted against your senior brother and harmed your fellow disciples.”

"If Master wants to punish someone, he can punish me alone. My fellow disciples were just instigated and misled by me."

With a single, casual remark, deep-seated hatred was transformed into a conflict between fellow disciples.

This explanation is reasonable and has no flaws.

Jin Shu looked at him, a smile playing on her lips.

“Harming fellow disciples is a grave crime. Come here, I will punish you.”

Chu Si stepped forward, gathering his strength and waiting to withstand Jin Shu's attack.

Instead of the overwhelming force he expected, he felt a cool sensation on his forehead. He suddenly opened his eyes, took a step back, and then covered his head with his hand as he looked at Jin Shu.

"Alright, this is my punishment."

"Master, this is..."

"The Heart-Eating Gu will cause your heart to ache as if it were being torn apart if you show any disrespect."
