"Well, this is the only way now. You see, the effect is really good!"
I breathed a sigh of relief.
With the help of the older woman, my situation is much better than before.
The spider demon was now under control and unable to move at all. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I went straight up and struck with my sword.
The spider demon has seventeen eyes in total, and I attacked the eye area directly.
Sure enough, each attack caused the spider demon's power to decrease continuously.
This is what I want to see.
"Great! It really works!"
Seeing this, the older woman was genuinely happy for me.
The older woman was in charge of calling Zhuangzhuang to control the spider demon, while I used this time to slowly poke out the spider demon's eyes.
When I had poked out all seventeen eyes, the spider demon's form changed, and it turned back into a headless corpse.
The black legs and black hair on its body turned into black smoke and drifted away.
I didn't let these things go. I set up an array to purify all the black energy.
After I finished, I plopped down on the ground; it was finally over.
That spider demon from earlier was a nightmare; I wasn't just scared, I was simply disgusted.
Also, that guy's strength is terrifying. If the old lady hadn't been able to control it, I might not have been able to get through this level.
"Alright, brother, it's finally over!"
Seeing this scene, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the woman quickly took off her red wedding dress and stuffed it back into my backpack.
The older woman really did put in a lot of effort.
I still remember that when the old lady stepped forward, she seemed to be prepared to die.
I'm certain that the older woman has her own secrets.
However, I did not ask about it in detail.
Everyone has their own secrets.
When the time comes, you will naturally tell me.
"Wait, we've dealt with the spider demon, but there's still this!"
I suddenly realized that the spider demon inside the headless corpse had been dealt with, but the headless corpse was still there.
In other words, our current danger is not over.
Only by completely dealing with this headless corpse can we leave this hellish place.
I carefully observed the headless corpse. Although it couldn't move now, the power inside its body was still enormous.
And the 17 little scarecrows that were on the ground earlier have also disappeared.
What details exactly were missed?
I covered my head, trying to recall some things I had missed before.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind, and I remembered his family.
"Xiao He, I finally understand why your family, although only engaged in business, has become the most powerful family in this area!"
I stared at the fat man, my voice trembling slightly!
Their family's situation is indeed a bit special, you know, there are gods in Shenwu County!
There is only one reason why a family can become the most prestigious in such a place.
"Sir, what is it? Don't keep me in suspense!"
The fat man's curiosity was piqued by me; he also wanted to know why his family had been so powerful before.
"Because your family is a legitimate Xuanmen (Taoist) family! And you're probably even connected to Haopo Village!"
I took a deep breath and described my guess to the older woman and the fat man.
"A family of Taoist masters? What the hell is that? My family shouldn't be that powerful, right?"
The fat man paused for a moment when he heard those four words.
He never imagined his family would be in this situation.
"If you were to say that my family is a fraud, I would believe it if you said that we were servants from a Taoist family."
If I were truly from a family of Taoist masters, I would at least know some magic!
The fat man, afraid I wouldn't believe him, went on to explain, even shaking his hand to show he didn't know anything.
"Yes, brother, he doesn't seem like a member of a prominent Xuanmen family. Besides, we went to the library, didn't we? It was mostly filled with information about business!"
The older woman chimed in, saying that the library was the study we went to, which was full of books about business.
It's either medicine or something similar, but it doesn't have much to do with Taoism.
"Books are not important. The real classics may be hidden in other forms, or there may be secret passages in the house!"
For example, the ancestral hall was hidden in this place—we never imagined that!
As I said this, I pointed to the roof above.
"The most crucial point is that this is a village right next to Shenwu County, and there are gods here. If they didn't have some real skills, I really don't believe that a family of merchants could have reached this position!"
As I stared at the corpse, the more I talked, the more sense it made.
This family originally lived in the suburbs, and the reason they have remained standing is probably because of those things from the Xuanmen sect.
Most importantly, the reason it was built in this location is very likely to suppress something...
"Could we really be a legitimate Xuanmen family? But didn't what that woman wrote for us make everything clear...?"
The fat man hasn't fully realized what's wrong yet; he keeps feeling like something's not quite right.
"You've made things clear, but how can you be sure he's telling the truth?"
Perhaps it's to hide something!
I shook my head. I've seen this kind of thing so many times that I hardly believe my eyes anymore.
I will only choose to believe something after it has been judged from multiple perspectives.
The fat man was stumped by my question: "I really can't be sure if that's true, but if we really are a family of Taoist masters, then we should at least have some ancient books left behind, right?"
The fat man scratched his head, still finding it somewhat unbelievable.
"Yes, brother, if this family is truly extraordinary, they should have left behind some ancient texts!"
The older woman chimed in.
"I'm afraid the magic they practice is... the same as mine!"
As I said this, I took a step forward.
Then my arm was revealed. Although there were no tattoos on my arm, there were still faint marks.
"Same as you?"
When the older woman saw my movements, she seemed to realize something, and sweat instantly beaded on her forehead.
"Brother, do you mean their method is also about summoning spirits into the body?"
The woman's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
"Introducing the spirit into the body? What are you two talking about, old man and girl?"
The fat man was still a little confused.
"Perhaps it was originally meant to attract a spirit into the body, but their ancestors went astray and chose to attract a demon into the body!"
I sneered. Now I finally understood why the fat man's body was devoid of any life.
Because that's the perfect container!
A lack of vitality means it's easy to control.
Once something is introduced into a man's body, that thing can definitely become stronger with the help of the fat man's body.
His mother is a kind of evil magic!
