There were many people imprisoned in the dungeon.
Moreover, they all seemed to be in abnormal condition; even those tied to racks kept shouting all sorts of foul language.
It was nothing more than a rebuke of Wu Qi for being cowardly, not daring to take action against the cultivation world, and losing face for their demonic cultivation.
They said he didn't attack the enemy, but instead targeted his own people, and accused him of being hypocritical and righteous, just like the righteous path.
Ji Mofan let it go in one ear and out the other, waiting for Wu Qi to finish what he needed to do before coming out.
After a long while, Wu Qi finally walked up to Ji Mo Fan with a livid face.
Ji Mo Fan frowned and took a half step back with a hint of disdain.
Since he began studying various spices, he has unconsciously strengthened his sense of smell and is now quite sensitive to the smell of blood.
Although Wu Qi had used a cleansing spell on his body and the bloodstains were no longer visible, the smell did not dissipate completely and was very unpleasant to smell.
Wu Qi had already been inexplicably cursed by a group of people for a long time, so he didn't care about Ji Mofan's slight dislike, after all, it was much better than those harsh words.
At least he didn't say anything, which is good enough. Let the stares be noisy.
However, despite his tolerance, he was truly exhausted both physically and mentally, and didn't want to say another word.
Wu Qi silently raised his hand, and held a glass bottle in front of Ji Mofan.
The transparent outer wall made the contents inside clearly visible. Ji Mofan glanced down and saw that the small bottle was half full of blood. In the thick, scarlet liquid, a small black worm was floating.
He blinked. "This is a Blood Infant Gu taken from an infected demon soldier?"
Wu Qi nodded.
These people were already affected by the Blood Infant Gu. Those who stayed in the border town were fine, but those who had been to the cultivation world and had actually seen dead people were extremely difficult to deal with.
Even knowing that these actions were not their own intention, he still wished he could tie them up and chop off their tongues to use as snacks.
"Can we find the location of the person who cast the Gu poison based on this Gu worm?" Ji Mofan asked.
Wu Qi took a deep breath, his voice lower than usual, "It will take time."
Blood Infant Gu is different from the Love Gu, which is a mother-child dual Gu. The person who casts the Gu only needs to put the object down and doesn't need to control anything remotely. They can just sit far away and watch the person who was infected with the Gu suffer.
To find the person, one approach is to trace back using live Gu worms, and another is to use a scheme to force the person out.
In the current situation, the second method would be faster.
"What should we do?" Ji Mofan asked.
He's thought too much today and doesn't want to use his brain anymore.
“Of course, we should kill all his Gu worms,” Wu Qi said.
Ji Mofan blinked.
It's a bit gory, but... there's nothing we can do about it.
It's unlikely that the person who cast the Gu will voluntarily remove the Gu worms. Moreover, these Blood Infant Gu worms won't die with the person who cast them. Even if they find the person later, the demon soldiers infected with the Gu worms will still have to find a way to deal with them themselves.
The only problem is that if we want to remove the Gu worms quickly, we have to dig them out of their bodies directly.
It's not that there aren't other methods to remove the Gu, but the others require a whole host of mediocre treatments, including medicinal baths and dietary supplements, which take a long time.
“These people have done a lot of bad things, so it’s not unfair to make them suffer a little.” Seeing Ji Mofan’s expression, Wu Qi misunderstood his meaning.
Ji Mofan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and only now did he show a hint of surprise.
“It’s not that I feel sorry for your demon soldiers,” he said.
He's not just bored; aren't his fellow cultivators in the cultivation world enough to make him feel sorry for the alien race?
"I don't think this is something a demonic cultivator like you would consider."
The demonic cultivators only have the four words "might makes right" in their minds. If it weren't for the fact that keeping these followers would bring them more benefits in the future, no one would act as a lord for the people out of pure goodwill.
Although Xiao Wangyan acted absurdly when he was the Demon Lord, he was still considered one of the more monarch-like Demon Lords in history.
The rest are all inextricably linked to brutality.
“I did come from the cultivation world, after all,” Wu Qi shrugged.
Jimo's reputation remains uncertain.
In the Supreme Venerable Hall, he also found a notebook recording the personnel changes around Qu Jin over the years.
Before Xiao Jin, Qu Jin had employed about a hundred menial servants. Wu Qi's name at the time was definitely not Wu Qi, because the Supreme Venerable never gave people proper names.
It was as if he was deliberately made to forget everything from his past, including his birth parents, leaving him alone in the corner of his memory, so that from then on, only Qu Jin remained in his life.
"So when did you start following the Demon Lord?" Ji Mo Fan asked him.
"I didn't count carefully, but it should be about a hundred years ago." Qu Jin said, his body inexplicably relaxing a little. He shrugged. "Anyway, it's earlier than that white egg next to the Venerable One."
Ji Mo Fan took a moment to process it and realized that the egg he was referring to was Xi He.
"Speaking of which, why haven't I seen him around you lately?" Wu Qi asked, seizing the opportunity.
"He's not human, why should he get involved in the conflict between the cultivation world and the demon world?" Ji Mofan casually replied.
"That's not right. He's half human, born in the cultivation world, and raised in the demon realm. How can you say this continent is where he was born and raised?" Wu Qi seemed quite curious about this question. "Or did you secretly send him to do something else?"
