Decisive in killing

The Seven Star Sword merely touched Chen Hui's brow; the blade didn't even penetrate his flesh. Yet, the Sword Qi contained within the blade went straight into the depths of Chen Hui's brow, causing this Seventh Rank Devil Cultivator to faint instantly.

Zhou Wuji has mastered Sword Intent, enabling him to precisely control the timing and intensity of his swordplay.

The Gu Master's most powerful Gu worms were ineffective, and his martial arts were only at the level of Hidden Force, so he could only be at the mercy of the Gu Master.

Now is not the time to kill!

He dealt with two people in quick succession, actually in less than two breaths.

Hearing the commotion, the martial artist inside the bedroom drew his sword and was about to come out to help when the White Eyebrow Needle flashed with a cold light, and the martial artist fell backward, dying on the spot.

Zhou Wuji entered the bedroom, threw the dead martial artist aside, and first performed a simple examination on the unconscious boy on the bed.

Calling him a teenager wouldn't be entirely accurate. This person had a square face, thick eyebrows, and a very tall stature. Even lying down, you could see his strong muscles; he looked like a robust, adult man.

He had thick downy hair on his lower lip, which gave him a youthful and somewhat immature look.

The boy's face was dark, and his breathing was weak; he looked as if he were seriously ill and about to die.

Zhou Wuji noticed tiny, dust-like Gu worms floating in the room. He silently chanted an incantation to activate the Five Yin Pouch Elixir. With a flick of his sleeve, black mist, like gauze, danced around the room, swallowing all the floating Gu worms.

Gu worms are extremely tiny insects, and they are being restrained by the Yin Spirit of the Five Yin Pouch.

Once captured by the Five Yin Pouch, one's life force will be plundered by the Yin Spirit energy.

In the blink of an eye, 99% of the venomous insects floating in the room were eliminated.

He also noticed something unusual about the incense burning, so he immediately extinguished it and threw the incense burner outside.

Still fearing that the Gu worms hadn't been completely eliminated, Zhou Wuji activated the Golden Light Incantation to illuminate all directions.

These tiny Gu worms are imbued with a trace of Divine Sense and spirituality by the Gu Master, which is why the Gu Master can control them at will.

The Golden Light Talisman cannot directly kill the Gu worms, but it can destroy the Divine Sense and spirituality attached to them.

Without this spiritual nourishment, the Gu worms will also die.

Fearing that some Gu worms might have escaped, Zhou Wuji repeatedly chanted the Golden Light Incantation more than ten times.

His Qi and Blood was extremely strong, so he was not afraid of these small things at all, but ordinary people could not.

Especially for Yang Tie Ying, who is under the influence of Gu poison, any uncontrolled residual Gu worms would be extremely dangerous for Yang Tie Ying.

After eliminating the numerous Gu worms, Zhou Wuji finally put away the Heavenly Puppet.

In just ten breaths, he had truly exhausted nearly 90% of his energy, his Divine Sense was also greatly depleted, and his mental consciousness was even somewhat dazed.

With time of the essence, Zhou Wuji immediately cast Rejuvenation Technique on himself, quickly restoring his true essence and Divine Sense.

After adjusting his mindset, he examined Yang Tie Ying's body again.

Although the Six Yang Dharma Eye cannot see through a person's internal organs, this distance allows it to detect the unusual life force within Yang Tie Ying's body.

A mass of black energy was clearly gathering in Yang Tie Ying's chest, which should be the Gu worm that the other party had planted in his body.

Zhou Wuji was confident that he could eliminate the Gu worms without harming Yang Tie Ying, but he still did not act rashly.

Human life is at stake; there's no need to use someone else's child as a practice subject.

He put away the Heavenly Puppet, went outside and brought Wuzheng in, asking Wuzheng to examine Yang Tie Ying's body.

Wuzheng took Yang Tie Ying's pulse, examined his eyelids, and felt Yang Tie Ying chest, and had already made a rough judgment.

"I think he's been infected by a Gu worm, right in his heart."

Wuzheng said, "To deal with such filthy Gu worms, directly use the Divine Body-Cleansing Incantation and the Golden Light Incantation, then prepare two Golden Flower Pill to nourish the body, and one Golden Yang Pill to dispel the Evil Qi— "

Zhou Wuji praised, "Senior brother has excellent medical skills."

Wuzheng shook his head. "The main reason is that the Gu Master was subdued by you, and the Gu worms were left uncontrolled, which allowed you to calmly begin to manage them."

"If a Gu Master were present, and activated the Gu worms the moment they made a move, this child would surely die."

After all, the Gu worms penetrate deep into the body and are highly poisonous. A Gu master can easily kill the person afflicted by the Gu worms simply by activating them.

Ordinary Law Technique and elixirs must be applied with care to the patient's tolerance; they cannot be so domineering and potent.

Zhou Wuji smiled and said, "Gu techniques are ultimately not respectable. Senior brother is too modest."

"That's not quite right. The art of witchcraft has a long history and its power is undeniable. It's just that the Five Dragons Gang Gang's cultivation level is too low, and the methods they've learned are ineffective—"

Wuzheng had some understanding of witchcraft and sorcery, and he reminded Zhou Wuji not to underestimate this type of practitioner.

Zhou Wuji nodded in agreement. Senior Brother Wuzheng. The Five Dragons Gang's incompetence did not mean that witchcraft was incompetent.

Next, Wuzheng performed the Divine Body-Cleansing Incantation. Although he could not set up an altar, Wuzheng was a legitimate ordained Daoist priest. He planted a few small flags, which was equivalent to half an altar.

Through the transmission of talismans by the sect, Wuzheng was able to mobilize the Lower Court's altar to offer sacrifices to the Dao soldiers, greatly enhancing his ability to unleash magical spells.

Zhou Wuji could not see the Dao soldiers, but he could sense that Wuzheng incantation was empowered by special spiritual energy, and that it was indeed on a different level from the incantation he was casting.

When Wuzheng cast the Golden Light Incantation again, the black aura on Yang Tie Ying's face immediately dissipated, his breathing became steady and powerful, and his eyes began to move rapidly; he was clearly about to wake up.

Wuzheng also showed a happy expression. It was his first time cleaning away the Gu worms for someone, and he wasn't entirely confident about it.

Putting aside Yang Shuling, simply saving an innocent boy who had been caught up in the situation was enough to Wuzheng in a great mood.

Zhou Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't cure Yang Tie Ying, he would have to force the Gu Master to remove the Gu worms, which would be much more difficult.

Wuzheng fed the boy three pills, and as the medicinal effects took hold, the tall, strong boy woke up.

When Yang Tie Ying opened his eyes, he saw two people at the head of the bed. He couldn't see them clearly in the darkness, and he was still half asleep and didn't know what was going on. He almost instinctively threw a punch.

Zhou Wuji reached out and pressed down on Yang Tie Ying's chest, the central area of the human body. He used a little skill to disperse Yang Tie Ying's strength.

"It's alright, we're your grandfather's friends."

Zhou Wuji said softly, "You've been affected by the Gu spell, and you probably don't even know what's going on. Go to the front and call your grandfather over. Tell him that Zhou Wuji wants to talk to him."

Yang Tie Ying was still a little dazed, but he knew the name Zhou Wuji. He looked at Zhou Wuji with some surprise, but he was not sure if he was sure.

He felt very dangerous here and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

As soon as Yang Tie Ying got out of bed, he saw a person lying at the door, in a very stiff position, who must have been dead!

His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly left the room. Seeing two people lying in the living room, he panicked even more and rushed to the front yard.

Yang Shuling, who was deep in thought in his room, was startled when his grandson rushed in. He was overjoyed and immediately grabbed his grandson's arms. "Tie Ying, are you alright?!"

Yang Tie Ying calmed down and said, "Grandpa, I'm fine. Master Zhou Wuji is here. He invites you to come over."

"Master Zhou has arrived!"

Yang Shuling's old face showed a complicated expression. He had asked Yang Ping to deliver the invitation to convey a message to Zhou Wuji.

But he was afraid that Zhou Wuji had misunderstood and thought he had changed his mind and didn't want his grandson to become an apprentice.

If that's the case, it will ruin everything.

But he dared not say it outright; the Gu technique was strange, and he didn't know what methods the other party had.

Chen Hui, the Azure Dragon Envoy, made it clear that if he dared to tip off his grandson, the grandson would surely die.

Fortunately, Zhou Wuji was quick-witted and understood his meaning. He then took the initiative to come and help, and actually managed to save Tie Ying.

Yang Shuling sighed again. Zhou Wuji was truly skilled; he easily dealt with the Azure Dragon Envoy, and he hadn't heard a sound while living in the front yard!

He was in a bit of a dilemma, unsure whether Zhou Wuji would blame him.

Yang Shuling took his grandson back to the backyard. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Zhou Wuji interrogating Chen Hui, with Wuzheng standing aside watching.

Even though the room was dimly lit by candlelight, Yang Shuling could clearly see that Chen Hui, who had been so smug during the day, was now looking disheveled and dejected.

Chen Hui heard footsteps and looked up, only to see Yang Shuling leading Yang Tie Ying in.

He didn't care much about Yang Shuling, but he was quite surprised to see Yang Tie Ying so lively!

Daoist Law Technique can counter Gu magic, but the opponent easily removed the Azure Dragon Gu from Yang Tie Ying's body without damaging Yang Tie Ying Essence Blood. This method is indeed powerful.

Yang Shuling, accompanied by his grandson, greeted Zhou Wuji and Wuzheng. Zhou Wuji nodded slightly and said, "Master Yang, there's no need for such formalities. Let's deal with this person first."

"His name is Chen Hui, the Azure Dragon Envoy of the Five Dragons Gang Azure Dragon Envoy. He planted a Gu worm in my grandson and coerced me into dealing with the Daoist priest."

"By the Northern Emperor, I have absolutely no ill intentions towards the Daoist!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Shuling hurriedly tried to distance himself from the situation.

Zhou Wuji smiled and said, "Master Yang specially sent me a message to warn me, and I should thank Master Yang."

"Otherwise, these people hiding behind the scenes plotting against me would be a huge problem."

Chen Hui's expression grew increasingly grim as he overheard their conversation.

Yang Shuling reminded him, "Chen Hui and his group are only three people, yet they swagger into my house, acting like they've got me cornered."

"I suspect they must have accomplices; you two Daoist priests should be careful."

Yang Shuling, with his extensive experience in the underworld, guessed from Chen Hui's behavior that he must have companions.

Putting everything else aside, Chen Hui would only be throwing his life away if he encountered Zhou Wuji!

It was precisely because he saw this that he swallowed his anger and did not turn against Chen Hui on the spot.

Zhou Wuji looked at Chen Hui: "What do you say?"

Although Chen Hui couldn't move his limbs, he still pursed his lips tightly, indicating that he had nothing to say.

He considered himself the Azure Dragon Azure Dragon Envoy the Five Dragons Gang, and the Daoist sect was known for its gentleness, so it was impossible for them to kill him directly.

He was originally intended to be bait, but he never expected Zhou Wuji to be so skillful that he didn't even have time to escape or warn anyone.

If we can stall for time, the Cold-Blooded Twin Fiends will surely realize something is wrong, and that will be their death day.

"The thief is cunning and treacherous. The Daoist priest is too compassionate to harm him, so I'll teach him a lesson!"

Yang Shuling hated Chen Hui intensely, and now he had incurred the wrath of the Five Dragons Gang. He had to eliminate Chen Hui's companions as well so that he would have time to escape with his entire family.

Therefore, Yang Shuling responded very positively.

Zhou Wuji shook his head slightly. "That won't be necessary."

Such wicked people deserve to die, but using torture during interrogation is inappropriate.

Yang Shuling hesitated, but ultimately didn't dare to say anything more.

Chen Hui was secretly pleased. Sure enough, the Daoist sect values discipline and dared not torture him, let alone kill him!

Zhou Wuji said to Chen Hui, "Your companions are in the small courtyard over there. There are more than ten of them, and two of them are Seventh Rank Devil Cultivator, right?"

Although Chen Hui tried his best to control his expression, he couldn't hide the shock in his eyes!

Zhou Wuji was certain that if he had guessed the Devil Cultivator's cultivation level incorrectly, Chen Hui wouldn't be so panicked.

In such a critical moment, Chen Hui would have no time to act. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't possibly have conveyed the emotions and expressions so perfectly.

Having gleaned the cultivation levels of the two Devil Cultivator with a single sentence, Zhou Wuji was completely relieved.

Before Chen Hui could speak, Zhou Wuji pointed at Chen Hui's brow, and the true sword Sword Intent flowing from his fingertip condensed into a sword, which truly penetrated Chen Hui's mind.

The Azure Dragon Azure Dragon Envoy of the Five Dragons Gang was unaware of what had happened. His eyes dimmed, his body went limp, and he breathed his last.

Yang Shuling and Yang Tie Ying were both startled to see Zhou Wuji kill Chen Hui without making a sound.

Just now, Yang Shuling thought Zhou Wuji was a bit soft-hearted, but now he realized that Zhou Wuji was aware of the whole situation and disdained torture to extract confessions.

He was both surprised and fearful. This young Daoist was incredibly shrewd and decisive in his actions, truly formidable!

No wonder many people say that Zhang Xinhu was killed by Zhou Wuji; it is indeed very possible!

Wuzheng frowned slightly. He felt that killing the Azure Dragon Envoy directly was not appropriate. The best way was to hand him over to the Lower Court Lower Court let them settle accounts with the Five Dragons Gang.

The situation changes after someone is killed. Although they are in the right, they lose the leverage to negotiate with the Five Dragons Gang.

But he couldn't say much, after all, it was the Five Dragons Gang that wanted to kill the two of them, so it wouldn't be unjust for the Azure Dragon Envoy to die.

Suddenly, Chen Hui's dead chest split open, and a blue scorpion sprang out.

Zhou Wuji was prepared and killed the Gu worm with a single sword strike.

The blue Gu worm twisted and struggled for a moment before its body collapsed into specks of ashes.

A flash of golden light appeared, Zhou Wuji activated the Golden Light Incantation to prevent any remaining undead Gu worms from escaping.

The whole process was very fast. Wuzheng and Yang Shuling were prepared, but Yang Tie Ying was unaware of the changes in the Gu worm and was startled.

Zhou Wuji didn't care about these trivial matters. Keeping the Azure Dragon Envoy cause too many variables, so it was better to just kill him directly to save trouble.

He said, "There are still two Seventh Rank Devil Cultivator. Logically, we should wait until daytime. Under the sun, these Devil Cultivator will only have 30-50% of their power left, making them easy to deal with."

Most of the methods used by Devil Cultivator cannot be exposed to the light of day. This is not an adjective, but rather a metaphor for the intense and powerful sunlight, which is extremely effective against all kinds of Evil Method and sorcery.

Even his Five Yin Pouch, a legitimate Daoist Law Technique, can be countered by sunlight.

Moreover, the opponent is likely a Devil Cultivator skilled in controlling ghosts and spirits, making them even more vulnerable to sunlight.

Zhou Wuji then changed the subject, saying, "There's a problem here. Chen Hui may have agreed to some special signal with the other party. If we don't act in time, those Devil Cultivator might notice something's wrong."

Wuzheng and Yang Shuling both nodded, agreeing with Zhou Wuji's guess.

The lurking Devil Cultivator must have some means of communication with Chen Hui to coordinate their actions and respond promptly.

Zhou Wuji said, "Time is of the essence; we can't let them get away."

"How about this: Master Yang will protect my senior brother and cast the spell from the front, while I attack from the side to quickly wipe out this Devil Cultivator!"

Wuzheng thought for a moment and nodded vigorously. In this situation, not knowing the other party's origins, the only option was to do everything in his power to eliminate them; there was nothing to discuss.

Yang Shuling nodded in agreement; he couldn't wait to wipe out the other side.

This time, killing Chen Hui, the Azure Dragon Envoy, offended the Five Dragons Gang. Zhou Wuji and his group, backed by the Lower Court, naturally had nothing to fear.

He was not qualified to fight against such a behemoth as the Five Dragons Gang. He had to pack up his valuables and find a place to lay low for a while.

Yang Tie Ying was young and full of youthful vigor and a thirst for battle. Seeing that Zhou Wuji hadn't called his name, he volunteered, "Daoist Master, I've mastered the Hidden Force; I can help too."

Zhou Wuji glanced at Yang Shuling, Yang Shuling also said, "This is a big deal, and it's always good to have another helper. My grandson is quite brave and skilled in martial arts; he won't be a problem."

The opportunity was precious, Yang Shuling wanted his grandson to show off his abilities so that he could become a disciple of Zhou Wuji.

He already thought Zhou Wuji was formidable, and tonight he witnessed Zhou Wuji's methods firsthand, which made him even more determined to have his grandson become Zhou Wuji's disciple.

"Alright."

Zhou Wuji said, "Put on your armor and grab your weapons, then we'll set off—"

Yang Shuling and Yang Tie Ying worked quickly and were dressed in no time.

Both men were wearing half-body leather armor. Yang Shuling carried a long spear, while Yang Tie Ying Tieying carried a longbow and a quiver.

Zhou Wuji was quite satisfied with this, as having a longbow gave him a significant advantage.

With Yang Shuling, a Seventh Rank expert, present, Wuzheng's safety Wuzheng.

He briefly explained the situation to the Yang Household grandfather and grandson, reminded them of precautions, and after confirming that everything was alright, the group left through the back door of the Yang Household and quietly arrived at the front of the small courtyard.
