Seeing that everyone was in a panic, Master Yueyin stepped forward from the crowd and said, "Amitabha, don't worry, let me come."
Everyone turned around in surprise, "Host, do you have a solution?"
Yue Yin, with Buddhist beads wrapped around her wrist, clasped her hands together and said, "Let me preach the sutras and persuade them to turn back."
“…”
I have to say that Master Yueyin's words "it's never too late to turn back" are extremely appropriate.
But after he talked for a long time, the insects still jumped into the river fearlessly, like a suicide squad.
Such a scene made even the senior masters like San Xiao and Huo Dihu feel their scalps tingling.
Huo Dihu rubbed the goose bumps on his arms and said, "How come these bugs are not afraid of death?"
“…”
This sentence immediately woke Su Man up. Yes, all things have spirits, so how could they die for no reason?
What's more, these insects were trapped on the shore and had no intention of going into the water.
Now, suddenly, they moved.
Could it be that the person controlling them is nearby?
Su Man looked around. This was the pavilion in the middle of the lake. There was only a rockery around it and no other shelter.
With a determined heart, Su Man ran straight towards the rockery.
"Miss Yan!"
"Come back now! You'll die!"
...
Although those insects would not attack her, the densely packed scene that was so terrifying that it would drive people with trypophobia to death still made Su Man unconsciously avoid them.
But there were so many of them that she would step on some from time to time. Su Man could only comfort herself that these were spicy strips...
A few meters away, Su Man did a front flip and landed behind the rockery.
In the shadows, a man stood with his back to her and his hands behind his back.
Su Man slapped out without hesitation, but the man seemed to have eyes on his back and dodged Su Man's attack by turning his head.
Su Man changed his palm into a fist, and the punch was intimidating.
After a few moves, Su Man turned around and pulled off the man's veil, allowing her to see his appearance clearly.
"Zuo Yan?"
Zuo Yan's exposed neck is now covered with purple-red lines, including the left side of his face.
"You, how did you become like this?"
Zuo Yan knew that his face cloth had fallen off, and he didn't want to say anything, but seeing Su Man's concerned expression, he uttered a few words, "Use me as a weapon to cultivate these red silk Gu."
Seeing Zuo Yan become like this, Su Man's heart seemed to be tightened. She stepped forward and said, "Zuo Yan, don't go back to Fudi Dongtian."
Zuo Yan didn't say anything. He just looked into the distance and said, "They are about to die."
Su Man was startled and turned around to look. Against the backdrop of the lanterns by the lake, the surface of the lake was densely covered with red. In less than an incense stick of time, it would spread to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
"Zuo Yan, stop. If you continue, there will be no turning back."
"Do you know where the blessed land is?" Zuo Yan asked softly.
Su Man was anxious to go back and save people, but she had a hunch that if she didn't know the truth of the matter, it would be useless even if she went back.
"I don't know." Su Man said frankly.
"Once upon a time, within the Central Plains, there existed a tribe called the Sky-Watchers. They looked like ordinary humans, yet they could discern the laws of nature. They could manipulate the laws of growth to alter a person's temperament, appearance, and even their inner strength. The rest of the Central Plains people feared them, calling them the Witch Clan and wiping them out. Only a handful survived, afraid to show themselves before the public, hiding from place to place until they found a safe haven."
Su Man narrowed her eyes. Needless to say, that place must be a blessed land.
"It's located in an extremely dark place. There, the master used the bodies of his dead tribesmen to refine spirit insects. These spirit insects can help people realize their wishes. The price is the sacrifice of their loved ones."
"My father..."
"What Alliance Leader Yan offered was his wife."
Hearing this answer, Suman fell silent.
Zuo Yan added, "It was your mother who volunteered. She knew your father had great ambitions and a desire to achieve great things. After giving birth to you, she contracted a chronic illness and didn't have much time left to live, so she volunteered to be a sacrifice."
He paused, "Originally, Alliance Leader Yan would be controlled by the spirit insect in his body like everyone else, and after his death, he would go to the blessed land and become a masked man who raised spirit insects. However, he somehow managed to remove the spirit insects and even burned his body."
Su Man understood something, "That's why you and Linlang approached me."
"Um."
Zuo Yan readily admitted, "Linlang isn't from the Wangtian tribe. She had other intentions. After discovering you, she didn't report it to the master. Instead, she hid you under the name of Jian Anhe. I followed orders to search for her whereabouts, and then I met you."
Needless to say, Su Man also understood what happened next. Zuo Yan, like Lin Lang, was after the spiritual insect hidden by Alliance Leader Yan.
After Zuo Yan discovered her whereabouts, he approached her in the identity of the Chixia Sect.
Things like Seven Days Powder and fighting poison with poison are all fake.
Su Man looked at Zuo Yan with a complicated look in her eyes, "Why are you telling me this?"
"The master has already promised that he will not kill you. You can still be the carefree eldest daughter of the Yan family as long as you can keep the secret."
At this point, Zuo Yan showed a pleading expression, "I know I lied to you, but you are my only friend, and I don't want you to die."
Hearing this, Su Man felt a strange emotion in her heart.
No, the red nematodes here can't hurt her, so why should he worry that she will die.
Unless, his master is here.
...
Memories of Zuo Yan flashed before Su Man's eyes one by one.
