"Spirit-Devouring Gu." Wan Jiao stood up from the folding chair, walked imposingly to the corpse, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.
A short while later.
Images appeared in mid-air, showing the state of the body at the time of its death.
The sight of countless tiny, soul-devouring worms emerging from the skin was extremely gory and gruesome; Lin Yi, being a girl, felt nauseous just looking at it.
"Ugh~~~"
The scene ended as Lin Yi vomited repeatedly.
"The soul of the deceased has been completely devoured by those young Gu worms."
Qi Mingyu, being more knowledgeable, had read about the Soul-Devouring Gu in an ancient book from the Xuanmen Society. He immediately asked nervously, "Captain, is the Soul-Devouring Gu a legendary demonic gu that can even devour ghost messengers from the underworld?"
Wan Jiao nodded, "Yes!"
Qi Mingyu's expression immediately changed drastically. "If one person can cultivate hundreds of Devouring Spirit Gu larvae, then no less than a hundred people have died across the country in the past six months. Could it be... Captain, their purpose in cultivating such a large number of Devouring Spirit Gu larvae is not the Underworld, is it?"
"No less than a hundred people? Is that accurate?" Wan Jiao grasped the key point.
Qi Mingyu nodded vigorously, "My father works for the Xuanmen Association. He just did some statistics on similar cases last night, so the number is likely to be higher or lower."
Wan Jiao pondered for a moment with a heavy expression, then bit her finger and used her blood as a guide, with the corpse as the array's core, to begin setting up the formation.
It was an extremely complex formation that Qi Mingyu and the others couldn't understand, but they could clearly see Wan Jiao continuously injecting spiritual power into the formation.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
After Wan Jiao confirmed that there was enough spiritual energy in the formation, she chanted a spell, "Chase!"
As soon as the word "chase" was uttered, countless shimmering lights scattered in all directions from within the formation.
The five men looked at each other in bewilderment.
Holy crap, who exactly is this twenty-year-old girl?
At such a young age, how can he have so much spiritual power to set up an array?
This person must be at least an eighth-level mystic master, right?
Perhaps... it's more than just level eight!!!
Qi Mingyu: "Captain, what kind of formation is this?"
"Nine Truths Tracking Array." Wan Jiao didn't hide it.
"???" Qi Mingyu's mouth gaped open, almost big enough to fit an egg. "Captain, you're not talking about that ancient formation that can track all evil spirits, are you?"
"Hmm." Wan Jiao responded, wiping the sweat from her forehead, secretly thinking: Three thousand years ago, an evil cultivator cultivated two hundred thousand Soul-Devouring Gu, nearly annihilating the entire Underworld. Three thousand years later, the Soul-Devouring Gu has reappeared, and another catastrophe is imminent.
But if she can eliminate the evil cultivators before they can carry out their plan, that would be a great act of merit.
Haha, with such great merit, ascension is just around the corner!
Suddenly, Wan Jiao's initial worry turned into excitement...
