Back then, Xiang Shan sent Zhang Wei down the mountain, instructing him to use every means to lure Yao Xiudao into the sect, saying he wanted to take him as his last disciple.
Now, he has succeeded; he has indeed tricked Yao Xiudao into joining the mountain sect.
However, Xiang Shan then asked him to drug Yao Xiudao.
As a disciple of the Shengyuan Sect, and especially as Xiang Shan's disciple, Zhang Wei recognized the medicine at a glance.
This is called the Soul-Destroying Pill. Its function is to poison and kill a person's soul. It is a kind of pill that only righteous Shengyuan Sect possess.
Generally speaking, after destroying the soul, combined with the special properties of the Soul-Destroying Pill, a person can be turned into a puppet.
"What? Are you wondering why your teacher treated him this way?"
Seemingly noticing Zhang Wei's confusion, Xiang Shan immediately spoke up.
Zhang Wei didn't speak, he just nodded.
"In reality, Yao Xiudao is a member of the Demon Sect; he is an evil cultivator!"
Zhang Wei was dumbfounded when he heard this. He couldn't understand how Yao Xiudao, who was perfectly normal, had become a heretical cultivator.
"Disciple, you must have all seen the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth on the day Yao Xiudao Tribulation Transcendence."
However, this strange phenomenon alarmed me, as well as Xia Wushuang, the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Dharma Sect, Wu De, the Elder of the Blood Saber Sect, Nie Yang Elder of the Blood Spirit Sect.
The four of us went to investigate and discovered that this strange phenomenon was caused by a 13-year-old child.
At the time, we all thought this child was an unparalleled genius and wanted to take him as our disciple. But who could have imagined that after he successfully Tribulation Transcendence, we would see the people of the Demon Sect.
This is not Demon Sect like the Blood Saber Sect or the Blood Spirit Sect; it is Demon Sect from the center of the continent.
Yao Xiudao bowed to the Demon Sect member and shouted, "Master!"
At this point, Xiang Shan paused, looked at Zhang Wei, and said, "Don't be fooled by his usual amiable demeanor; in reality, he's incredibly ruthless."
That day, when we saw that he was from the Demon Sect, we gave up the idea of taking him as our disciple. Who knew that just as we were about to leave, that Demon Sect member turned out to be a Deity Transformation Stage expert. With a wave of his hand, the four of us were subdued.
"If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have died at the hands of the Demon Sect like Xia Wushuang and the others."
As she spoke, Xiang Shan looked up at the ceiling, sighed, and glanced at Zhang Wei out of the corner of her eye.
Zhang Wei stood there, stunned and speechless for a long time.
"My disciple, my disciple, what's wrong with you?"
Upon hearing his master call him, Zhang Wei finally woke up and said, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission and kill him."
And so, Xiang Shan handed the Soul-Destroying Pill to Zhang Wei, gave him a few instructions, and then let Zhang Wei leave.
Watching Zhang Wei's retreating figure, Xiang Shan's smiling expression instantly turned cold.
"Alas, my disciple, please don't blame your master for being heartless. Sacrificing yourself for my path is a blessing in disguise!"
Once outside the secret room, Zhang Wei's mind was filled with thoughts of how he met Yao Xiudao and everything that had happened since then.
He discovered that many things Yao Xiudao told him were different, the biggest difference being the cultivation method.
And this thing called a cell phone can actually show you people making babies! It's practically an evil thing!
Furthermore, this phone belongs to the Eternal Divine Church, and so does that Eternal Divine Church treasure that helps one comprehend the laws.
Could it be that the Eternal Divine Church is a Demon Sect, full of evil cultivators?
"Fine, Yao Xiudao, Laozi treated you like a brother, but you've fooled me like I'm an idiot, haven't you? I actually went along with it and said I joined the Eternal Divine Church!"
Thinking about it, Zhang Wei stormed off toward Yao Xiudao's room.
But along the way, he thought about many things. If Yao Xiudao was truly an evil cultivator, what was his motive?
Furthermore, as a Golden Core Peak cultivator, if Master truly wanted to turn Yao Xiudao into a puppet, I wouldn't even need to lift a finger; I could have done it myself.
After thinking it over, he realized that his master was the one who was acting strangely. Although he had accepted Yao Xiudao as his last disciple, he had never actually seen Yao Xiudao. Instead, he always communicated with Yao Xiudao negotiate with him.
Upon arriving at Yao Xiudao's room, Qin Hao found him meditating and cultivating.
Zhang Wei immediately took out the Soul-Destroying Pill and said to Qin Hao, "Xiudao Brother Cultivator, Master asked me to bring you a pill. This pill is a good thing that can improve cultivation!"
Qin Hao opened his eyes, and with just one glance, he understood everything.
This isn't some kind of elixir to enhance cultivation; it's a poisonous pill, specifically designed to poison the soul.
He knew everything Xiang Shan said to Zhang Wei in the secret room.
Qin Hao didn't say anything, but simply smiled and accepted the pill, then examined it carefully.
Then, he casually created an identical pill.
In an instant, he grasped the material composition of the Soul-Destroying Pill.
To Zhang Wei, this scene looked exactly like Yao Xiudao taking something out of his storage ring.
"Oh, senior brother, I have those pills too! Are you sure they're for increasing cultivation? If so, I have plenty!"
With a casual wave of his hand, thousands upon thousands of Soul-Destroying Pills appeared on the table.
"This... this..."
Zhang Wei was so shocked he couldn't speak.
"Senior brother, since this can improve your cultivation, I'll give it to you. Look, there are many more here, they're all yours!"
Zhang Wei was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, his eyes staring at Qin Hao, his body trembling slightly.
At this moment, he remembered what his master had said: Yao Xiudao was an evil cultivator. Seeing him take out so many Soul-Destroying Pills, he immediately confirmed this idea.
"Junior brother... cough cough, never mind, you can have these pills. I'll just take this one. Goodbye!"
Zhang Wei immediately grabbed the original one and ran away.
However, after running for a long time, he found himself still in Yao Xiudao's room.
"Senior brother, what are you doing?"
Qin Hao looked at Zhang Wei with amusement.
"Junior brother... I was wrong, I deserve to die. Please spare me for our friendship!"
Zhang Wei immediately knelt down before Qin Hao, begging for mercy.
Since things had developed to this point, Qin Hao decided to tell the truth directly, so he reverted to his original appearance.
Suddenly, a strange look appeared before Zhang Wei: a man sporting a heart-shaped fringe hairstyle reminiscent of his idol and dressed in a Zhongshan suit.
"You... you... you're not Yao Xiudao?"
Zhang Wei finally realized that this person was not Yao Xiudao at all, and that he had been deceived all along.
"Fine, I'll be frank with you. I am the founder of the Eternal Divine Church, the Ancestor of Eternal. As for Yao Xiudao, he is my disciple. Your master wanted to harm my disciple, so I came here personally to see what Xiang Shan was up to."
"The Eternal Divine Church, you... you are evil and heretical, you..."
"Stop! What evil and heretical doctrine? My Eternal Divine Church is Supreme Divine Church. How about it, little brother? Would you consider joining my Eternal Divine Church? I remember you said you already joined!"
Qin Hao said with a smile.
