The meaning behind "Bone-Scraping Daoist" was very simple.
Wine was poison that pierced the gut; beauty was a steel blade that scraped the bone. That was how the Five Poisons Cult leader's wife had earned her notorious nickname.
Xiao He recounted Ana Heiyan's life story. Born into the Bliss Dao, she had been the most outstanding disciple of her generation.
Rumor had it that she possessed peerless beauty and boundless seductive charm, carrying an eerie allure that seized one's very soul and lured people, unwittingly, into the abyss.
Ana Heiyan possessed the Bliss Dao's inheritance and was adept in seductive arts and dual cultivation. Skilled at using her beauty as bait, she drained others of their vital essence and cultivation. In her early years, she had already reached the Spirit Transformation realm.
Later, she learned many secret arts of the Five Poisons Cult, bringing her poisoncraft to a miraculous level. She could kill without leaving a trace, or leave someone begging for life in the depths of agony yet unable to die.
The Bliss Dao inheritance controlled the Primordial Spirit, while the Five Poisons Cult's secret arts controlled the flesh. No one knew how many people Ana Heiyan had controlled and turned into puppets at her command.
Because of her beauty, even knowing that this woman was untouchable, fearless men still rushed one after another toward Knowing Mountain, scrambling to fall beneath her dripping skirts.
Just like the Bone-Scraping Daoist's nickname suggested, her beauty and danger existed side by side. She was both a peerless beauty who drove men mad and a lethal poison that filled them with dread.
"I heard that whenever the Five Poisons Cult leader goes out for a stroll around the Southern Border, nine out of ten of his brothers and friends become fellow Daoists..."
