The reason was that the last Gu worm refused to come out of Old Master Huo's body.
The Gu worm seemed to be drawn or prompted by something, desperately trying to crawl into the old man's body, but because the Gu King was watching it intently, it couldn't crawl over, so it lay on the wrist, motionless.
"Wife, what's going on?" Lu Lingxiao asked in a low voice. He had also witnessed the situation of the Gu worm and looked puzzled. The four Gu worms in front of him had all come out at once.
But this one just wouldn't leave the old man's body.
"It's Jiang Peizhen!"
Feng Zhiyi's almond-shaped eyes were deep, and she said in a cold voice, "She has poisoned Grandpa with a total of five kinds of Gu poisons: Blood-attracting Gu, Puppet Gu, Golden Silkworm Gu, Epileptic Gu, and the last one is—Longevity Gu!"
The so-called "longevity gu" is a type of poison that directly takes away half of the lifespan of the person affected by it, in order to achieve the goal of living to a ripe old age and remaining young forever!
No wonder Jiang Peizhen's face was so beautiful before it was slashed, her complexion was as flawless as a young woman in her twenties or thirties. It turns out she directly stole Old Master Huo's lifespan.
"You mean to say that Jiang Peizhen has been stealing grandpa's life?" Lu Lingxiao's hands clenched unconsciously, and his black eyes gradually became deep and dark.
Feng Zhiyi nodded, "Yes, I believe you have also noticed that Grandpa's hair is almost completely white, and his mental state is obviously much worse than other elderly people of similar age, because he has used almost all of his life force to support Jiang Peizhen."
As she spoke, she fed the old man a large cup of spiritual spring water, and then she gave an order to the Gu King.
"Mini bean, just swallow it!"
Feng Zhiyi originally wanted to lure out the longevity gu and study it, but now that the gu worm refuses to come out, there is no need to keep it and give it directly to Mini Bean as food.
After receiving the instruction, the mini bean...
It instantly attacked the immortality gu.
With a single open of its tiny mouth, the Longevity Gu was swallowed whole by Mini Bean before it could even react, leaving it with no chance of escape and turning into the Gu King's meal.
And at the moment when the Changsheng Gu died, inside the base of the special team in the capital.
"puff......"
Jiang Peizhen leaned against the wall of a small, dark room. A mouthful of blood spurted from her mouth without warning, her face turned deathly pale, and her hair turned white at a visible speed.
But in an instant, the beautiful black hair turned completely white.
My skin also aged considerably in an instant.
Jiang Peizhen was terrified. Seeing wrinkles gradually appearing on her hands, she shook her head frantically in horror, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
"No! No! I don't want to grow old, I don't want to grow old..."
"Who is it? Who ruined my plans!"
She desperately tried to hold onto her youth and to retain the poison in Huo Zhongqing's body, but it was all in vain. It seemed that God was determined to work against her. Not only were all the poisons in Huo Zhongqing cured, but her appearance also aged decades in an instant.
In a short while, Jiang Peizhen's facial features, neck, and hands were covered with wrinkles and loose, completely unlike the appearance of a person in her fifties or sixties.
At that moment, she looked remarkably like a woman in her nineties!
Jiang Peizhen had no idea that while she was screaming and groaning in panic, a figure was watching from outside the dark room for a good ten minutes.
Du Sheng peered sharply through the small window, watching Jiang Peizhen's every move.
He watched as Jiang Peizhen sat on the ground with her brows furrowed, leaning against the wall, biting her finger and muttering something with a serious expression. He took in every movement and every expression of hers.
He watched as she coughed up blood, her face quickly turned white, and her hair and skin gradually turned white and aged.
In the blink of an eye, her once fair hands, like those of a young girl, now resembled those of a ninety-year-old woman. The backs of her hands were covered in wrinkles and age spots, and her face was frighteningly aged, with sunken eyes.
It's just really weird!
At this moment, Jiang Peizhen was still going crazy inside, as if she had fallen into a state of madness. She was scratching the ground with both hands, and all ten of her fingers were bleeding, but she seemed to have no feeling, and kept scratching and picking at it.
He kept muttering, "Why? Who was it? Who cured the poison in his body..."
Du Sheng saw the scene but did not go in to stop it, because he was inexplicably certain that even if Jiang Peizhen hurt herself, she would not have the courage to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall!
After glancing at the people inside, Du Sheng gave a silent, cold snort, turned around, and left without hesitation. As he walked out of the base, he was about to drive to the Lu family's old residence to find Lu Lingxiao when he saw Lu Lingxiao driving in.
"Commander Lu, what brings you here at this hour?" Du Sheng walked up to Lu Lingxiao in the driver's seat and asked, then opened the car door for him to get out.
"I've come to settle accounts with Jiang Peizhen! She poisoned my grandfather with a Gu poison. If I hadn't happened to know someone who could cure Gu poison, and if he hadn't come to the capital, my grandfather... would probably be dead by now."
Lu Lingxiao had already jumped out of the car while speaking. A strong chill emanated from his body, and his eyes were as cold and sharp as a thousand-year-old ice.
"You mean... Old Chief Huo was poisoned?" Du Sheng was surprised and asked hurriedly, "How is Old Chief Huo now? Has the poison been cured?"
"The curse has been lifted, but a few drops of the heart's blood of the person who cast the curse are needed to completely remove it. Otherwise, it will leave serious aftereffects, and it could even be life-threatening."
Lu Lingxiao said coldly. He glanced around, then patted Du Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, please help me stand guard outside. I'm going in to get Jiang Peizhen's heart's blood. My grandfather is waiting for her heart's blood to save his life!"
After saying that, he successfully took the key from Du Sheng, then turned and walked into the small dark room in the base. Before Du Sheng could react, he saw Lu Lingxiao step into the big iron gate.
Du Sheng, "..."
He got tricked by Lu Lingxiao, right?
Unfortunately, he couldn't stop Lu Lingxiao because Lu Lingxiao had saved his life two years ago during a mission, so...
Even though he knew it was against the rules, he could only turn a blind eye, after all, Lu Lingxiao was his savior!
Besides, Chief Huo is waiting for Jiang Peizhen's heart's blood to save his life, so he should help her out of both emotion and reason.
Du Sheng shook his head helplessly, then went to stand guard at the door.
