After landing, he ran towards the direction of the screams without hesitation.
These days she has resumed practicing the Taoist mental techniques, and Taoist true energy is now circulating in her body. Her physical strength is much higher than that of ordinary people. She ran quickly in the corridor, and the thumping sound of her footsteps was very clear throughout the entire mansion.
The doors to the side rooms in the mansion were all tightly closed, and the inside was pitch black, as if no one lived there.
With such a loud commotion and screams, it's impossible that no one heard it.
Are all the people in Master Qi's mansion dead?
Or have they all become deaf?
As Bi Xie ran, all sorts of guesses popped into his mind.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, ah, ah, help me—"
"Monster, monster! Miss is a monster! Master, master, save me!"
When Bi Xie arrived at the scene, he saw a giant gray spider demon plunging its powerful forelimbs into a woman's chest. Crimson blood gushed out instantly, splattering the woman all over. She screamed in agony, but her body was bound by the sticky spider web, and all her struggles were in vain. She was riddled with holes, and thick, warm blood dripped onto the ground, pooling in a puddle.
A bundle was scattered in the pool of blood, revealing a lot of jewels and jade. The lustrous luster of the jade was obscured by the blood.
Her dim eyes saw Bi Xie, and with her last bit of strength, she cried out for help, "Save me, save me."
The two small eyes above the gray-haired spider's head looked sharply over, its gray antennae clamping down on the dying woman, while its other legs pierced through her abdomen, causing blood to gush out and quickly staining the white spiderweb with an eerie crimson color.
Amidst the blood-red scene, Bi Xie witnessed an even more bizarre sight: countless tiny spiders, no bigger than sesame seeds, had somehow crawled onto the blood-red spider web and were now gnawing and chewing on the dead woman's body.
This spider demon is using Master Qi's mansion as a vessel to raise baby spiders.
"Are you the monster hiding in Master Qi's mansion? Where is Ajiu? Where did you take Ajiu?"
Bi Xie quickly chanted the Fire Cloud Spell and threw out a talisman. The talisman burst open in the air, burning fiercely. Sparks landed on the small spiders, emitting a strange, burnt smell. The giant gray spider seemed to be enraged and leaped towards her, waving its eight legs.
Throwing those talismans at it only burned off a tuft of its fur; they did nothing to harm it but instead enraged it completely.
The spider demon opened its sharp, venomous mouthparts toward her, and strands of gleaming spider silk quickly wrapped around her waist. Bi Xie felt a chill run down her spine; this spider demon was indeed beyond her current level of cultivation. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth on her talismans was still too weak.
Frowning, Bi Xie decisively stopped his attack and quietly watched the spider demon retreat.
Spiders have very poor eyesight. Although they have eight simple eyes at the front of their cephalothorax, their vision is blurry, especially at night.
Bi Xie clung to a sliver of hope, but in an instant, the sinister female voice behind her completely extinguished her hopes, "Little Taoist priest, you have a path to heaven but choose not to take it, and you barge into the gates of hell. With your shallow Taoist skills, you dare to come to my mansion to arrest me!"
Bi Xie felt a chill in his heart; this spider demon had actually cultivated into human form.
"It's not easy for demons to cultivate. You finally achieved human form, so why did you start killing? Do you have a grudge against the Qi family?"
Bi Xie's waist was entangled in sticky spider silk, so he simply turned his head to look at the spider demon. Unlike her ugly, grayish true form, her human form was extremely beautiful, with a slender waist, pert buttocks, willow-leaf eyebrows, and peach-blossom cheeks. However, the fierce expression on her face was chilling.
Hearing Bi Xie's words, she sneered, "Why start a killing spree? Little Taoist, have you ever been in love or had any romantic relationships? What do you filthy Taoist priests who are supposed to be pure and abstinent know?"
"Did the Qi family betray you?" Just from hearing this vixen's lines, Bi Xie imagined a melodramatic scene. She hoped the vixen would say more, so she could buy herself more time to come up with a solution.
But the spider demon didn't seem to want to say anything more to her. Dense spider silk wrapped around her, turning her into a cocoon. It was trying to suffocate her alive. Before her mouth was sealed, Bi Xie hurriedly called out A Jiu's name. After calling out twice, her face became tight and taut from the spider silk, making it difficult to breathe. She suffocated until her face turned purple.
"So easily defeated, yet you dare to ruin my plans!"
The spider demon reverted to its original form, gave a disdainful snort, and its gray claws stabbed straight towards Bi Xie's throat.
Bi Xie called out A Jiu's name in her heart over and over again. In the end, the name she called out became Gui Xiu.
Her parents and relatives from various mission worlds and the real world flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Her eyes gradually moistened, but her heart calmed down. There was nothing to be afraid of, and nothing to resent. Everything was her own choice, including doing missions for ghost cultivators. What was she being dramatic about?
I chose this path, and even if I fall for a cold-hearted, stubborn, and ruthless man along the way, I won't regret it.
"Ghost Cultivator, Ah Jiu, Ghost Cultivator, Ah Jiu, Ghost Cultivator..." Tears streamed down her face. In this moment before her life was about to end, only this person's name remained in her mind. "You bastard, you slept with me and you're not taking responsibility, waaaaah..."
As she cried, she heard the spider demon let out a scream.
The spider silk on her body was torn apart by something, and it peeled off neatly and smoothly, scattering white silk all over the ground. She heard Ah Jiu calling her anxiously, "Ah Xie," her voice carrying a tenderness she had never heard before, and an overwhelming anger.
Her already wet eyes stung even more. Without thinking, she rushed over and hugged his waist, wiping her tears on his robes with a touch of grievance. "Why did you take so long to come? Where did you go? Who gave you permission to run away from home? Waaah!"
He stared blankly as she rushed into his arms, so small and frail. That strange feeling in his chest returned, as if something had been revived at that moment, making him tremble with excitement. He vaguely followed his instincts and hugged her, whispering aggrievedly above her head, "A-Xie, how could I bear to run away from home? I... I got lost."
Bi Xie, both amused and exasperated, pressed against his chest and angrily punched him, saying, "How can you be so stupid?" But she froze the next moment when she saw something throbbing powerfully in her palm.
"You even have an accomplice?" The spider demon was getting a little irritated by being ignored. "You two are also out for a secret rendezvous, aren't you? You both deserve to die! You heartless and ungrateful bastards!"
Bi Xie's feelings were complicated. At the moment of her death, many fragments flew into her mind like snowflakes, completely filling in her memories. This body was called Qi Xie, the founder of the Maoshan Sect, and also—her past life.
