The latest chapter content left Chen Miao feeling much more at ease.
The information it revealed delighted him.
First, without the Soul-Sealing Memorial Tablet, his opponent really had no way to cast another curse.
Second, his opponent still had a leader Gu Scorpion on him, and it was highly venomous.
Finally, there was a ninety percent chance that man was Suo Kun!
Why did Chen Miao think he was Suo Kun?
The first reason was that his opponent had a flesh-and-blood body!
The Chen Miao in the book had mistaken him for the host of the Flying Skull Curse, so he had thrust his sword straight at the man's head.
But the sword had failed to pierce it.
That meant his opponent's head wasn't a flying skull at all!
This fit Chen Miao's theory about cultivating the Flying Skull Curse. Who would refine their own head when they could use someone else's?
The second reason was that his opponent had a leader Gu Scorpion on him. When Chen Miao charged upstairs, the man had raised his hand, preparing to release it.
What he hadn't expected was that the pinwheel on Chen Miao's helmet was spinning, instantly immobilizing him!
That was what allowed Chen Miao to kill him in one strike.
Someone who could control the leader Gu Scorpion was very unlikely not to be the owner of the Gu Scorpions.
And when both men finally fell, all the Gu Scorpions rushed toward his opponent.
That was very likely the Gu Worms turning on their master.
Of course, it was also possible that the other Gu Scorpions didn't dare bite Chen Miao because their leader had already bitten him.
As for that remaining ten percent of uncertainty, there was one other possibility.
Suo Kun might never have gone there at all.
