The spider old man imprisoned before Jia Xin on the ninth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower was named Zhong Si. He had once been one of the elders of the Insect Realm, and his true form was the only Eight-legged Spider Demon currently remaining in the Insect Realm—the advanced evolution of Chong Ying's former main soul, the Four-legged Spider Demon. The purple toxin he carried was so corrosive that it could even corrode Divine Artifacts.
A thousand years ago, Zhong Si had abandoned his position as an elder and gone into seclusion. Yet he had unexpectedly been captured by the Dao Sect and imprisoned in this Demon Sealing Tower, never again to see daylight. Fortunately, before being taken in, he had left a life-saving Divine Artifact inside his body, ensuring that he would not die after all his internal energy was drained by the Demon Sealing Tower.
Most of the powerful figures imprisoned on the ninth floor alongside this spider old man had already been completely absorbed and refined by the Demon Sealing Tower.
Having spent a thousand years inside the Demon Sealing Tower, Zhong Si could be said to have already given up on surviving. Yet he still retained a faint hope of seeing the outside world again.
Jia Xin's arrival gave the spider old man before him a glimmer of light.
Jia Xin explained his plan to the spider old man in detail.
The latter was also an old hand at worldly affairs and greatly approved of Jia Xin's plan. "You actually came up with such a method. You even dared take such a huge risk to come here and see me. It seems your demands for a Divine Artifact are quite high."
"My only requirement is that the blade be sharp enough to cut through everything."
