Along the way, Gu Yao and his companions found that the development of things was beyond their expectations, and if they allowed the situation to continue, they would lose control.
The organization behind the scenes had more than one test site, and different people had different ideas and experiences, and the things they produced were also different. On the way, they passed a city, which was completely in chaos. Monsters appeared from nowhere, and they contained some kind of toxin in their bodies. At first, the monks who hunted the monsters were injured, and after returning to the city, they used antidotes and did not care too much. Unexpectedly, after a few days, those monks who had been injured by the monsters suddenly went crazy, hugged their companions and ate them.
After being restrained, they found that these monks had completely lost their sanity and became living dead. Moreover, this situation was still spreading. This poison would spread by gnawing. In a blink of an eye, the whole city fell into panic.
So when Gu Yao and his team passed by this place, the city lord issued a request for help to all parties, and ordered the closure of the city gates, searching for all monks who had contact with monsters and those who were injured, and gathered them together. At the same time, he summoned medical practitioners and alchemists to find a way to treat these monks. Fortunately, the city lord reacted quickly and swiftly, so the situation was temporarily under control. However, if the monsters outside were not eliminated, they would fall into a new crisis at any time.
This place is not too far from the position of the old ancestor Luo, so after a discussion, they subdued a monster, then entered the city and joined the team studying the toxin. Gu Yao and Chi Changye still used the identities of Lu Hua and Lu Feng. Who would bother to remember the two inconspicuous casual cultivators at the time.
Gu Yao really wanted to study this toxin so that he could make a related antidote. Besides, he was not alone, and Xu Chen was also studying with him. Seeing the injured who was tied up but still screaming and his appearance had changed a little, Gu Yao frowned. Sometimes humans just keep killing themselves. Can the monsters and toxins they created really be completely controlled? Will they lose control one day and bite themselves back?
Who gave humans such great confidence? Sometimes Gu Yao really wanted to let the monks who made these things taste what it felt like. No, it would be better if they could taste all the test subjects one by one, over and over again.
"Master Lu, the City Lord's Mansion has sent someone to urge us to find a way to remove the poison as soon as possible, but this is not so easy." The alchemist who was with Gu Yao complained to him. He had lost a lot of hair, but the poison was too troublesome. It would not only assimilate the spiritual power in the body, but also affect the soul.
Chi Changye, also known as Lu Feng, became Gu Yao's assistant, helping him. As for Lou Huaijing and Ying Muching, they joined the city's guards and followed the orders of the City Lord's Mansion to guard the city. They rarely met each other.
"People outside are saying that some poison pill master has defected to the evil ways and was deliberately created to deal with us righteous cultivators. Those bastards should be cut into pieces and their souls should be burned for ten days and ten nights."
"Poison pill master? Evil ways?" Gu Yao had just heard this.
"Yes, Master Lu, you may not know this yet. Many evil demons have emerged outside. No one knew where they were hiding originally, but now they have come out to expand their territory and recruit disciples. Some evil cultivators have even controlled some monsters, and controlled the monsters to attack the settlements of the righteous cultivators. Some places were discovered too late and had already fallen into their hands. The original cultivators either surrendered to them or were slaughtered by them."
Gu Yao was shocked when he heard this, and he and Chi Changye exchanged glances. He didn't know whether these evil demons had connections with the people behind the scenes, or whether they took the opportunity to come out and take advantage of the situation. He was afraid that both possibilities were possible. They were originally united by interests, and could collapse at any time because of interests.
"There is one more thing. Many people are talking about Master Yao Dan who was in the limelight before. Some people want to invite Master Yao Dan to come out. Maybe he can come up with a better detoxification pill. Others say that Master Yao Dan is probably the poison pill master who has been lurking in. His previous behavior was just to gain fame, otherwise why hasn't he come out yet? Who knows where he got those top-grade pills from."
Gu Yao was already numb after hearing this, not knowing how to react. And this alchemist, his alchemy skills were ordinary, but his gossip ability was particularly strong. Gu Yao deeply felt that he had chosen the wrong career. He should have specialized in collecting information and selling news, but he focused all his energy on finding out all kinds of gossip.
The cultivator left after satisfying his gossip. Gu Yao and Chi Changye looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. How could they pin the title of poison pill master on him?
Lou Huaijing and Ying Muching hurried back from outside, with a hint of anger and depression on their faces. Gu Yao immediately thought of what the alchemist had just said, and asked them if they had heard the rumor that Master Yao was actually a poison pill master? "
"You heard it too? It must have been released by Changxianmen. They just want to discredit you. They might even take the opportunity to force you out! "Lou Huaijing said angrily, and at the same time he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. It is easy to splash dirty water, but it is difficult to wash it clean.
Gu Yao was not very angry, because he and Chi Changye could not stay in Qianhao Continent for too long. Even if they found a secluded place in the remaining time and practiced in seclusion, how much influence could the various things outside have on him? But then he thought of Tianlin Continent. In the future, cultivators from Tianlin Continent would definitely come here. His reputation was not good, so they would still be a little... Thinking of Tianlin Continent ,
he smiled: "Don't worry, Changxian Sect doesn't dare to stand up and admit that they were the ones who splashed the dirty water, because they know my origins. You said that I, a cultivator who has only been in Qianhao Continent for a few years, can create such a big battle. These things can't be made in a short time. Those people will always leave clues, such as when a large number of independent cultivators disappeared. I must not have been born at that time. "
Chi Changye couldn't help but curl his lips and rubbed Gu Yao's head with his hand. This rumor really didn't cause much harm.
Lou Huaijing and Ying Muching were also stunned. Huh? It seemed to make sense, so why were they so angry and anxious? The parties involved looked unconcerned.
Influenced by Gu Yao, Lou Huaijing and Ying Muching relaxed and continued to do what they could.
Gu Yao also continued to study these toxins. The tube of blood he drew was dark black. This was the toxin that could poison a Jindan cultivator. All of them were poisoned by the terrible thing.
Changsong Valley.
Patriarch Lou Qiting was surrounded by enemies, and the disciples he brought with him disappeared, leaving him struggling like a trapped beast.
Patriarch Lou was a cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanying, and his strength was not weak, so his enemies also paid a heavy price. He wiped the blood from his mouth and sneered at the cultivators and the hideous monsters around him: "Master Huo really took great pains to deal with me. Did he really think that I would die today, so he sent you out? "
Two of these people are his fellow disciples. They don't seem to be involved in the affairs of the sect on weekdays. However, it can be seen at the critical moment that they are dogs raised by Mr. Huo, and they are released by Mr. Huo to save people when needed.
One of them laughed and said, "Mr. Lou, it's your fault that you have refused to surrender to the sect leader for so many years. Now we are also kind-hearted and send you and your descendants to the underworld to reunite. If you have another life, remember not to go against the sect leader and the young master."
Patriarch Lou laughed. He didn't expect that there would be someone who would confuse right and wrong like this: "Young master? That's your young master, not Mr. Lou's. It's your business if you are willing to be a running dog. Mr. Lou only follows his own heart.
"Go ahead, no need to waste time. When the man surnamed Lou dies, the sect will reward him for his contribution to the extermination of monsters!" One of them waved his hand viciously.
This was said with a certain irony. They were raising the banner of exterminating monsters, but the monsters were the ones who joined forces with them to attack Patriarch Lou. When Patriarch Lou was about to fight to the death, a voice suddenly came from the sky: "The world is going downhill. Who would have thought that the righteous people would collude with monsters? Who is righteous and who is evil? Haha!" The monks
who joined forces to attack Patriarch Lou suddenly broke into cold sweats. They had never expected that there was another monk who was invisible. In mid-air, a voice suddenly screamed sharply: "Who? Who is hiding in the dark?"
A cold snort sounded in the air, followed by a huge downward pressure, forcing several monks and monsters to spit blood. This was clearly the pressure of the late Yuanying stage. At the same time, the figures hidden in the air also appeared. They were actually several Yuanying monks, led by a silver-haired demon cultivator, who was the elder of the Silver Wolf Clan.
The Yuanying monk who led the attack on Patriarch Lou immediately changed his words and said, "Okay, so you, surnamed Lou, are colluding with demon cultivators and want to harm the sect!"
He shouted while ordering the monsters he controlled to intercept those monks. He turned around and was about to escape, but when he turned around, he found that they had set up a formation to trap Patriarch Lou, and the opponent had set up another formation outside the formation to trap him here as well.
This person urgently called a monster, and the monster's body exploded with a "bang" as it shrank, and the interception formation immediately collapsed. A black shadow flashed and was about to escape from here, but unexpectedly a leg came over fiercely, and with a bang, the Yuanying monk fell back.
The crisis was resolved in a flash. Lou Qiting was still a little slow to react. He knew all the Yuanying monks who came. He had never seen them but had heard of their names. He didn't know how these people could get together and rescue him.
"Thank you for saving me, fellow Taoists. I wonder if you..."
"Haha..." The chief of the Silver Wolf Clan laughed loudly, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist Lou. We were all entrusted to come here, and we witnessed a good show. It seems that what the other party said is true. These so-called monsters are actually from the hands of the righteous, and they have caused the evil demons to become increasingly rampant. I wonder if fellow Taoist Lou has any plans?"
"Why don't we find a place to sit down first?" Lou Qiting was in a very complicated mood.
"Okay."
After arriving at the place to stay, Lou Qi Ting was still a little dazed. He vaguely knew that there were some shady things in the sect, but he never participated in them, including the fights between the factions in the sect. He always remained neutral. He thought he could keep quiet forever. Lou Huaijing was also a younger generation he was optimistic about. The possibility of Ning Ying in the future was very high, so the Lou family could occupy a seat in Changxianmen.
Huo Ming was also aware of Huai Jing, but he thought it would not be a fight to the death. The head of the sect had to keep an eye on him, and Huo Ming would not kill him. But he did not expect Huo Ming to be so reckless. If it were not for someone's help, Huai Jing would become one of the monsters that the cultivators now call. What he did not expect was that the head of the sect would want to get rid of him.
Huai Jing sent a message saying that someone would come to help him, but he was also half-believing and half-doubting. In a battle of this level, a Jindan cultivator could not intervene at all, so where would Huai Jing find a Yuanying cultivator? He had to be as good as him, otherwise he would not be able to play a big role.
But in the end, there really were Yuanying cultivators, and there were more than one, especially there were late Yuanying cultivators. Even if he saw them normally, he would have to be respectful. The difference of a small level meant that the difference in strength was quite large, not to mention that the other party was a demon cultivator from the Silver Wolf Clan, and his strength was even stronger.
"What do you want to do, Fellow Daoist Lou?"
Patriarch Lou sneered: "Since Huo wants me dead, I might as well die as he wishes. This way, it will be easier for me to hide in the dark. However, there are many innocent disciples in my Changxian Sect, and I hope to save them afterwards."
"Of course, Qianhao Continent cannot do without many cultivators."
Lou Qiting immediately reached an agreement with the other party. Not long after, the cultivator of Changxian Sect who was guarding the soul tablet stumbled out: "Oh no, Patriarch Lou's soul tablet is broken!"
"What?!" Many people couldn't believe it and ran to the place where the soul tablets were placed to check. Sure enough, the soul tablet belonging to Lou Qiting was broken, which meant that its owner had died. Some people were sad, some curled their lips, and there was also an inconspicuous monk who quietly slipped out. Although he didn't understand the intention of the ancestor Lou, he still did it according to the ancestor's intention.
What he did was just to sneak into the place where the soul tablets were placed and destroy the soul tablets with external force.
The news of the death of the ancestor Lou spread in Changxianmen, causing a sigh. Some disciples also noticed that there had been no news about Lou Huaijing since he went out to practice. Now even the death of the ancestor Lou could not be passed on to him, which caused discussion again. It is possible that Lou Huaijing encountered an accident during his practice and could not come back in time.
Lou Huaijing's soul tablet is still intact, so he is still alive, but he may be trapped somewhere.
Naturally, this news also spread to the city where Gu Yao and his friends were. When the ancestor Lou decided to escape death, he also informed Lou Huaijing of this matter, so he was still very calm, but he was sincerely grateful to Gu Yao and Chi Changye. If it weren't for their help, the ancestor might really have met with an unexpected death.
A cultivator walked into the yard where Gu Yao was. It was not until he entered that the people inside discovered him and were shocked.
"Clan leader Yin?"
