Chapter 179 The Masked Man Appears Again

When Su Ying'er arrived, another disciple guarding the spirit beast was lying unconscious on the ground.

Meanwhile, Shaluo, who should have been in the cage, was manipulating the few remaining Gu worms to drain her disciple's blood.

Seeing this, Su Ying'er turned pale with fright and pointed at the "pheasant," exclaiming, "You, you are..."

"Shararu?!"

The last time she met Shaluoru was when she took Wen Yao's hair to Shaluoru and asked him to use evil magic to impersonate Wen Yao and set a trap to kill "Jiang Li".

As a result, Shaluo was killed by Xie Sixing, and Moon White Lake was completely destroyed.

Su Ying'er thought he was dead, but she didn't expect him to be alive. She backed away, "How did you end up here..."

After drinking the blood, Shaluo Ru's Gu worms became much more energetic. He puffed out his chest and said in a sinister voice, "Heh, Su Ying'er, you said you would send someone to help me leave Moon White Lake, but you ended up getting me beaten to a pulp by that old bastard! How are you going to compensate me!"

Su Ying'er shuddered. She still remembered the horror she felt when she first met Sha Luoru and saw him covered in insects.

Her lips trembled. "No, it wasn't me, it was Jiang Li. She did it all. If you want revenge, go after her, don't come after me!"

"I do want to find her! If it weren't for you, you good-for-nothing, stubbornly insisting on forming a bond with me, I would have gone to find her long ago!"

Forming a bond...

Oh, right! She's formed a pact with Shaluo!

The thought that her contract wasn't with any spirit beast, but with the bizarre and insane Shaluo gave Su Ying'er goosebumps. She said repeatedly, "I'll break the contract with you right now, I'll let you go right now!"

"Hmph, not so easy."

Shaluo glanced at her, a hint of sinister intent in her eyes. "You think this contract is something you can just form and break as you please? I've already placed a curse on you. Whoever forms a contract with me must provide me with spiritual power to sustain me until death!"

"What?!"

Su Ying'er's face contorted in fear. "I... I just had a spirit body, how could I possibly support you!"

"Hehehe, if you don't want to support me, that's fine too. Every night at midnight, I need to absorb enough spiritual energy. If it's not enough, you can just wait to turn into a dead person and die."

Shaluo said in a sinister tone, "Once you die, I can find another person with high cultivation to form a contract with."

a bolt from the blue.

Su Ying'er's legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

Her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted.

How could this happen? Why did it turn out like this?!

Just as Su Ying'er was at her wit's end, a questioning voice sounded from outside.

"Zhao Yuan? Why are you lying on the ground?"

Su Ying'er was about to faint, but she perked up immediately upon hearing these words.

She looked at her disciple lying on the ground, drained of blood, and paced anxiously, her voice frantic, "You killed him! You have to think of something!"

Shaluo was completely unconcerned, giving a haughty snort, "Why should I think of a way? I'm not afraid of being discovered."

He wasn't afraid, but Su Ying'er was!

A perfectly healthy disciple has died just like that. What if it turns out he died from a Gu poison?

Mo Hannian will definitely become suspicious!

Once the truth comes out, it won't even be a question of whether she can stay in the Tianmen Sect; she will definitely be reduced to ashes!

Thinking of this, Su Ying'er didn't know where she got the strength, she scrambled to her feet and rushed out to block the disciples who were about to come in, "Um, Senior Brother Zhao is not feeling well, you go out first, I will help him treat him."

The other person looked at him with suspicion, "Junior Sister Ying'er, you know how to heal?"

Su Ying'er nodded with a forced smile, "Yes, I learned it from Senior Brother Wen. The situation is urgent, you should go out quickly!"

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work."

However, as soon as he turned around, several Gu worms immediately clung to his neck.

The next second, his body twisted in an extremely contorted motion, his hands constantly clawing at his neck, letting out screams of agony.

"ah!"

In the blink of an eye, he collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing uncontrollably.

Shaluo stroked the blood-sucking, swollen Gu worms and laughed eerily, "You're so naughty. You haven't had blood in so long, you're getting hungry, aren't you?"

Su Ying'er was stunned by what she saw. Pointing at Sha Luoru, she trembled and couldn't speak, "You, you!"

Shaluo glanced at him and said, "My Gu worms aren't full yet, do you want to try too!"

As they spoke, the Gu worms split apart; what were originally just three or five had multiplied into seventeen or eighteen in the blink of an eye.

Su Ying'er looked at the dense swarm of insects on the ground and gagged.

Once the worm separated from the bloody slime, she couldn't help but vomit it out.

Shaluo was furious. "How dare you despise my precious one!"

Su Ying'er knew this man was crazy, so she could only force herself to say, "It's not that I didn't... ugh..."

"..."

Su Ying'er barely managed to hold back her emotions, but looking at the two corpses on the ground, she panicked and couldn't stand up. "The Heavenly Gate Sect is heavily guarded. If two disciples die like this, they will definitely investigate. What should we do!"

Shaluo scoffed, "Don't you have that idiot senior brother? Just let him handle it."

"no!"

Su Ying'er rejected the idea without hesitation. She lowered her voice and said, "Mo Hannian thinks I cured his Gu poison, which is why he's so obedient to me. If he sees these two disciples, he'll definitely become suspicious!"

Shaluo snorted coldly, "There is no antidote for Gu poison. How could you possibly have obtained the antidote?"

"There is no antidote..."

Su Ying'er's heart skipped a beat. Wouldn't her lie be exposed immediately?

No, that won't happen!

Even if there is no antidote for the Gu poison, as long as Mo Hannian doesn't know it, she is his benefactor!

The most urgent task right now is to deal with these two disciples!

Fortunately, Su Ying'er wasn't truly weak and kind. She went outside to check that no one was there, dragged one of the disciples' corpses into her room, opened the secret chamber, and threw it inside.

As she dragged the second corpse, Shaluo, who was playing with Gu worms, scolded, "If you don't want to die, hurry up and cultivate, otherwise how am I going to feed my darlings when midnight comes?"

Su Ying'er's scalp tightened, and she quickly sped up.

After moving both bodies, Su Ying'er collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.

She looked at the two people huddled together... no, three people.

Besides the two registered disciples, there was also an outer disciple.

It was Sun Yun who had almost exposed Su Ying'er to Wen Yao.

On that day, Wen Yao received a letter from Sun Yun and assumed that Sun Yun's lie had been exposed and that he had gone down the mountain.

In reality, he was killed by Su Ying'er and then transferred here.

Exhausted and panting, Su Ying'er was just about to stand up, her legs trembling, when a sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang in her ears.

She covered her ears in pain, "Ugh—"

The sound grew increasingly shrill.

At the end of the secret passage, the once pitch-black corridor was illuminated by a faint red light.

The Lord has arrived!

A chill ran down her spine. Ignoring the pain, she stumbled and ran inside.
