Chapter 2226: Volume 11 True Immortal Descends Chapter 2206 Blood Gu Worm

Three days after the original creation, Han Li led Silver Moon, Crab Daoist, White Fruit, and Li Rong away from Tian Yuan City, heading straight for the Xu family. I want to begin the exciting part---

Han Li had already found out long ago that after the demon clan retreated, the Xu family had returned to their original family residence.

Thus, after passing through several cities via teleportation and enduring a short half-month journey, Han Li's group arrived at the Xu family.

After briefly announcing their names, the entire Xu family erupted in excitement.

Not only did Xu family head Xu Jiao and Xu Qianyu rush out to greet them, but all the Xu family elders followed closely without exception.

Among them were Xu Yan and Xu Huo, who had once seen Han Li years ago.

It seemed the Xu family had not lost much of their true strength during the demon calamity.

"Paying respects to Han Han Qianbei, your esteemed presence brings great honor to the entire Xu family," Xu Jiao said respectfully, performing a deep bow before Han Li, with the other elders similarly showing excitement as they paid their respects.

If Han Li had previously come as a Body Integration cultivator, the Xu family could still maintain a semblance of pride as a major human clan; but now, facing Han Li as a Mahayana cultivator, they could only feel genuine fear and trepidation, daring not to show any expression that might displease him.

Han Li and his companions were directly led by the Xu family into the main hall used to receive honored guests.

After Han Li seated himself without ceremony in the place of honor, he calmly said to the Xu family head standing nearby:

"You should already know why I have come this time. Although I heard from Xu Fairy once about the matter concerning Blood Soul Daoist, I now wish the Xu family to recount it again in full, to see if anything was missed."

"I obey, Senior. Blood Soul Senior returned to the Xu family seven months ago, suddenly……" Xu Jiao dared not delay, beginning to recount the events in detail.

Han Li listened intently, focusing on every detail.

After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, once the other party had finished speaking completely, Han Li spoke with a hint of solemnity:

"So, besides asking you to send the Xu Tian Ding to me, Blood Soul Daoist also said that only I could possibly awaken him."

"Yes, Senior. Blood Soul, as an incarnation of the ancestor, though his cultivation is only around the Void Refinement stage, his body is nearly half-virtual and half-real, making him originally extremely hard to injure. But this time, Blood Soul Senior suffered some unknown dark scheme—his body appears unharmed on the surface, yet black qi permeates his entire being, and he has remained in a coma, truly most strange. I have exhausted all means, yet to no effect. I beg Senior, for the sake of the Ice Soul Ancestor, to extend your aid." Xu Jiao spoke carefully, accompanying his words with respect.

"Hearing you say this, I too am curious about the cause of Blood Soul Daoist's coma. Let me first examine his current condition personally. If he can truly be saved, Han will not hesitate to act." Han Li smiled faintly, saying without refusal.

"Thank you, Senior, for your great kindness. I will now guide you." Xu Jiao rejoiced, repeatedly expressing gratitude.

"Crab Brother, come with me to see. Silver Moon, Fruit, and Li Daoist, you few remain here for now." Han Li nodded, then instructed the three.

"Very well, I shall stay here with Fruit and Li Daoist for a moment." Silver Moon obediently agreed.

As for Li Rong and White Fruit, naturally they dared not voice any objection, similarly nodding in agreement.

The Xu family cultivators had long noticed the presence of Silver Moon and the others; due to their vastly superior cultivation, aside from sensing their aura as unfathomably deep, they could not discern their true cultivation level. Secretly astonished, they treated them with extraordinary respect, daring not to be negligent.

After leaving several attendants to accompany Silver Moon, Li Rong, and others, Xu Jiao led the other elders as he brought Han Li and Crab Daoist toward the Xu family's forbidden grounds.

In the deepest part of the Xu family, within an underground stone hall, Han Li appeared there under Xu Jiao's accompaniment.

At the center of the hall lay a translucent, crystal-clear jade coffin, quietly placed there.

Inside the crystal coffin lay a white-clad woman, eyes tightly shut, a faint layer of black qi shrouding her body.

This was precisely the Blood Soul incarnation originally split from the Ice Soul Fairy.

Han Li took just a few steps to reach the coffin's front; upon approaching within about a zhang, he immediately felt waves of strange cold emanating from ahead.

"Ten-thousand-year Xuanbing!" Han Li glanced at the coffin, his expression unchanged, and asked in a flat tone.

"Senior's eyes are like torches. This is indeed a ten-thousand-year Xuanbing coffin. Only this object can slow the continuous weakening of Blood Soul Senior's aura, which is why we……" Xu Jiao hastily explained.

"The cold energy originally has some controlling effect on most injuries; placing Blood Soul Daoist in the ten-thousand-year Xuanbing coffin, even without knowing the true symptoms, was not an unwise move." Han Li nodded slightly, offering no further comment.

At this moment, his gaze fell upon the white-clad woman within the crystal coffin.

This Blood Soul, besides having tightly shut eyes and a face filled with black qi, now also bore a strange blood pattern between the brows—flickering in and out, with faint blood light seeming to seep from beneath the skin.

Upon seeing the blood pattern, Han Li's expression twitched slightly, as if suddenly recalling something, his brows involuntarily furrowing.

"Han Han Qianbei, have you discerned the cause of Blood Soul Senior's coma?" Xu Jiao, seeing this, urgently asked.

"Although I have seen a hint, I cannot yet be certain—I need to confirm further." Han Li spoke without changing expression, then released his divine sense, which swept toward the coffin and enveloped it.

After a moment, Han Li's expression shifted; suddenly, he pointed a finger at the space between his brows.

A soft sound!

A wisp of black qi emerged, condensed, and transformed into a jet-black demonic eye.

The demonic eye opened, and from it a crystal thread shot out—flashing briefly—then directly pierced the coffin wall and entered the white-clad woman's body.

The next instant, the crystal thread retracted; its front half bore a thumb-sized blood-red strange worm.

At the same moment, the blood pattern on the white-clad woman's brows vanished instantly.

This strange worm resembled a snail, but its head bore seven or eight tentacles of varying lengths; the instant it left the woman's body, it began frantically waving uncontrollably, appearing utterly bizarre.

"What is this? Why have we never found such a thing in Blood Soul Senior's body before?" The Xu family clansmen stared in shock, Xu Jiao even losing his voice.

"It's no surprise you couldn't detect it before. This is a Blood Gu Worm—originally formless and colorless, dissolved within the blood. Had I not used my divine sense to transform into threads and forcibly draw it out, you would likely never have found its trace." Han Li narrowed his eyes, calmly observing the blood-red worm now within arm's reach.

"Blood Gu Worm—could it be a type of gu worm? But if it's so dangerous, why was it never heard of before? We've never encountered such a thing." Xu Jiao hesitated before asking.

"Hehe, this worm is not something found on our Wind Origin Continent. It is a unique strange worm native to the Blood Heaven Continent, one of the three mysterious lands of the Spirit Realm, and bears no resemblance to the ordinary gu worms you know." Han Li replied calmly.

"Blood Heaven Continent! How could this be!" Xu Jiao and the other Xu family elders exclaimed in alarm upon hearing this.

"Although I have never been to the Blood Heaven Continent, I once traveled to the Thunder Continent for a time and, from a classic text there, saw a description of this worm—there is no mistake!" Han Li glanced over the Xu family elders; the crystal thread between his brows suddenly moved, transforming into countless silken shadows that enveloped the blood-red worm, then tightened sharply.

"Puchi!"

The crystal thread flashed and vanished into nothing; the blood-red worm was instantly severed into countless fragments, bursting open and scattering as drops of blood across the ground.

"Though this Blood Gu Worm is extraordinarily sinister—even a Body Integration cultivator infected would struggle to expel it—once drawn out of the body, it is utterly fragile." Han Li added with a cold chuckle.

"Thank you, Senior, for your guidance. Now that the Blood Soul Senior……" Xu Jiao glanced at the white-clad woman in the crystal coffin, still motionless, and asked with lingering concern.

"Rest assured—the Blood Gu Worm has been expelled. With sufficient rest, he will naturally awaken. But I fear I cannot wait that long. Never mind—I will act once more to rouse him temporarily for now." Han Li pondered briefly, then spoke thus.

"The Xu family thanks Senior for your great kindness." Xu Jiao overjoyed, the other elders likewise wore expressions of deep gratitude.

After the demonic eye retracted between his brows, Han Li's form flickered and he appeared beside the coffin, his gaze sweeping over the white-clad woman's beautiful face before he suddenly pointed a finger at her forehead.

Instantly, a column of azure mist, infused with immense spiritual power, shot forth—flashing briefly—then entered her body. Under the guidance of the hand seal, it swiftly traversed all her meridians, forcefully opening every blocked and obscure point.

After a soft groan of pain, the white-clad woman's brows furrowed, then she slowly opened her eyes.

Han Li's eyes flashed, and with a flick of another finger, a streak of green light shot out.

After a waft of medicinal fragrance dispersed, the green light accurately entered the slightly opened cherry mouth of the white-clad woman.

Seeing this, Han Li smiled faintly and immediately turned and walked toward the hall's outer door.

"Let Blood Soul Daoist sit quietly for a quarter of an hour, allowing the medicinal power to fully dissipate, then bring her to see me."

"Yes, Han Han Qianbei," Xu Jiao and the others replied, delighted and surprised.

The crab daoist witnessed all this, yet showed no expression as he followed Han Li out of the hall door.

After a quarter of an hour, in the main hall of the Xu family's ancestral residence, Han Li finally saw the white-clad woman who had fully regained consciousness.

"Blood Soul Daoist, how do you feel now?" Han Li asked, smiling at the white-clad woman who had just thanked him.

"Thanks to the 'Replenishing Essence Pill' Han Han Qianbei just gave me, I should be fine for now." Blood Soul's face was unusually pale, but she still managed a weak smile in reply. To be continued
