Chapter 436: Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu

Upon learning the truth, Zhishen Dashi's spirit and energy were instantly drained, and his back hunched significantly.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he sighed helplessly.

The situation was currently stronger than the man; the Evil Dragon Vein had been sealed by the Twenty-Eight Mansions using some unknown method.

He could not borrow the power of the Evil Dragon Vein to recover himself.

The Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art required the power of the Evil Dragon Vein to achieve its maximum efficacy.

"I surrender; I am willing to cooperate with you to take control of the Bureau."

"Most of the high-level officials in the Bureau are my direct subordinates."

"Although I don't know why you want to control the Bureau, I am a very good breakthrough point."

After a long while, Zhishen Dashi finally spoke these words, sounding somewhat unwilling.

After all, the Taiji Dustless Sword was hovering right above his head; if he didn't say something, he estimated he would be pierced through by the sharp sword in the next second.

He had cultivated for so long and did not want to end up like a skewer of candied hawthorns.

"Zhishen Dashi, we have already recorded the entire process of your collusion with the Evil God."

"According to the laws of Yan Country, anyone who colludes with the Evil God will be subject to capital punishment."

"Zhishen Dashi, the moment you colluded with the Evil God, you were already spurned by all the people of Yan Country."

No matter what Ye Bai said, Zhishen Dashi remained silent, seemingly tacitly accepting his crimes.

"Myriad Change Butterfly, notify Zhang Yuelu to come over."

Ye Bai said to the Myriad Change Butterfly through their contract.

The Myriad Change Butterfly transformed into the form of the Myriad Blood Gu Emperor, and countless blood gus densely surrounded Zhishen Dashi.

From a distance, it looked like a mass of Blood Mist enveloping Zhishen Dashi, gradually merging into him.

The Blood Mist invaded Zhishen Dashi's body through his seven orifices; if one were to take a drop of Zhishen Dashi's blood and examine it under a microscope, they would find that the drop of blood was filled with dense, tiny insects.

Don't let their small size fool you; their enormous mouths were filled with sharp, jagged teeth.

"These blood gus will invade your body and breed in your blood. Zhishen Dashi, don't think about playing any tricks."

Ye Bai said righteously.

In fact, this was just a trap set by Ye Bai; the reason he did not kill Zhishen Dashi was that he wanted to see how many of the high-level officials within the Bureau were in cahoots with Zhishen Dashi.

The Bureau as a whole had been directly controlled by the faction headed by Zhishen Dashi.

After all, Zhishen Dashi had been operating for many years; those who should have been transferred away were transferred, and most of those remaining were his direct subordinates.

Facing the attack of the Seven Stars, he had to directly clear out the unstable factors.

Zhishen Dashi did not seem like a person who enjoyed helping others either.

The greatest possibility was that he would soon shout that he had been kidnapped by thieves and then incite others in the Bureau to attack him.

Those who were unaware would certainly think Zhishen Dashi was in the right.

However, Ye Bai held the Qilin Token given by the Qilin Marshal.

He held the moral high ground and was not afraid of any backlash from the Bureau.

Ye Bai felt that most people in the Bureau were still able to distinguish right from wrong.

Unless the remaining people were die-hard loyalists of Zhishen Dashi who disregarded the life and death of Yan Country for his sake.

It just so happened that it was twelve o'clock midnight, and the new intelligence had emerged.

【1. The Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art practiced by Zhishen Dashi can absorb all negative energy to help himself improve; this was also Zhishen Dashi's purpose in contacting the Evil God. It is worth mentioning that blood gus are also a type of negative energy and can enhance Zhishen Dashi's strength.】

【2. Deputy Director Baiming of the Bureau did not collude with Zhishen Dashi; his strength is also among the best in the Bureau, and he secretly controls one-third of the Bureau's forces.】

【3. The Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art has a major flaw: it requires at least two hours when coming into contact with foreign energy, but the Immovable Wisdom King Statue can resolve this flaw.】

【4. In the hands of Lan Fenghuang, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, there is a gu insect called the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu. The outer layer of this gu contains Highly Toxic; once planted in a person's body, the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu will enter the heart area and Parasite inside. The heart blood of a martial artist can accelerate the evolution of the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu, causing it to evolve into a Pulling Silk Puppet Gu.】

【5. The Seven Stars have already begun planning to seize the Bureau; they value the Evil Dragon Vein most, as this would allow the Xiao Mijin where they are located to evolve into a Kingdom of the Undead.】

The Seven Stars had begun to take action.

Ye Bai knew the urgency of time, so he had no time to haggle with Zhishen Dashi now.

He had to control those high-level officials in the Bureau now.

And let the orders go out to take control of the entire Bureau as soon as possible, preparing measures to deal with the Seven Stars.

Fortunately, there were still people in the Bureau who had not colluded with Zhishen Dashi, which made Ye Bai feel slightly relieved.

This could also allow him to take control of the Bureau at the fastest speed without any major mishaps.

If the Bureau were to be breached by the Seven Stars, Ye Bai would have to bear great responsibility.

Even if he were not punished in the end, Ye Bai would not be able to get past his own conscience.

How many people of Yan Country would die at the hands of the unspeakable entities?

The Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art possessed the ability to convert foreign energy.

It seemed that his original idea of controlling Zhishen Dashi through blood gus would be difficult to realize after all.

At this moment, Ye Bai once again ordered the Myriad Change Butterfly to send a message to Lan Fenghuang, asking her for the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu.

The Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu does not refer to centipedes, snakes, scorpions, geckos, or toads, but to the toxins formed by five types of emotions.

These are also the "five poisons" spoken of in Buddhism and Daoism.

The five types of internal toxins are the five human emotions; these five emotions produce "anger, hatred, resentment, annoyance, and vexation"—the "five poisons," which are five negative emotions that can cause illness.

Anger harms the liver, hatred harms the heart, resentment harms the spleen, annoyance harms the lungs, and vexation harms the kidneys.

Collecting and refining these five poisons is already difficult enough; wanting to form the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu is an even more arduous task.

Ye Bai also learned of the existence of the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu from the secret manuals of the Heaven Gate.

It can be said that a Pet Beast Master capable of refining the Five Poisons Pulling Silk Gu must be a top-tier Gu Master.

At this time, the Myriad Change Butterfly had already brought the message to Lan Fenghuang, who was maintaining the shielding Barrier.

"Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu?"

"How does Kuimulang know that I happen to have this thing on me?"

"This type of Gu insect is very precious; it took me great effort to cultivate it."

"Should I take it out or not?"

"What benefit is there in this for me?"

At this moment, Lan Fenghuang was still somewhat hesitant; after all, refining this kind of Gu requires the right time, the right place, and the right people.

Only after these conditions are met can the Gu be successfully refined.

Lan Fenghuang also lacked the confidence that she could refine another Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu.

Only when a Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu advances to the level of a Gu King is it possible for it to propagate into a colony.

However, Lan Fenghuang currently had no leads on how to find a way for the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu to advance.

This type of Gu insect is exceptionally rare, and she only had one on hand; if she gave it to Ye Bai, she would have to spend a great deal of effort, and it still might not be successfully cultivated.

This left Lan Fenghuang in a dilemma.

Just as Lan Fenghuang was hesitating, the next message made her contribute the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu without any hesitation.

Ye Bai's message was that he had a way to make the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu become an existence like a Gu King.

"Since there is no more fighting, I don't need to try my best to maintain the Barrier Gu."

"Come out, Wind Gu."

Whirlwinds appeared beneath Lan Fenghuang's feet.

These were composed of Wind Gu, capable of blowing up a Gale and allowing one to float in the air.

The whirlwinds lifted her up as she flew toward the direction where Ye Bai was located.

From the damaged buildings around, one could tell that the previous battle had been extremely intense.

Lan Fenghuang had to spawn several rounds of Barrier Gu just to mask the aura of the battle.

"Zhang Yuelu, you've come."

Ye Bai said indifferently.

"Then I will trouble you."

Lan Fenghuang spread her hands, and trails of pale blue powder drifted with the wind, wrapping around Zhishen Dashi.

Zhishen Dashi, who was currently absorbing the power of the Blood Gu, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

Following that, a violent pain came from his heart, a pain like ten thousand swords piercing his heart.

He fell to the ground, letting out painful howls from his mouth; at this moment, he secretly circulated his cultivation art, the Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art.

He attempted to control this Weird heartache through the Ten Dragons Ten Tigers Demon Subduing Art.

But it was of no use at all; instead, it angered the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu that had invaded Zhishen Dashi's body.

Zhishen Dashi's hand slapped his own face twice, which left Zhishen Dashi extremely stunned.

Why would his own hand refuse to listen to him and act on its own? What on earth was going on?

Sweat poured down from Zhishen Dashi's forehead like a waterfall.

He stood up involuntarily, just like a puppet.

Although his consciousness was clear, he was completely unable to control his body.

"What on earth did you do to me?"

"Why is my body suddenly out of my control?"

Zhishen Dashi said in great terror.

Ye Bai smiled but did not speak; he watched Zhishen Dashi's disheveled appearance.

"It really is effective, Kuimulang; listening to your suggestion can also allow my Gu insects to evolve."

Lan Fenghuang had a deep connection with the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu, and she could feel the excitement of the Five-Poison Silk-Pulling Gu.

"Enough talk, let's dispel the Barrier Gu first."

"We have to meet those people."

"By the way, Zhang Yuelu, spread the Sleep Gu, Paralysis Gu, Freezing Gu, and Poison Gu first."

"The people from the Bureau are not here with good intentions."

Of course, the conversation between Lan Fenghuang and Ye Bai was conducted through Gu.

Lan Fenghuang silently spread the various Gu.

When it came to the use of Gu, Lan Fenghuang was an expert among experts; how could she possibly let Zhishen Dashi discover any clues?

The Barrier Gu was immediately broken, and at this time, the people from the Bureau also saw the truth that had been covered up.

"My god, what happened to the Bureau Chief? Why is he in such a disheveled state? He is standing on the ground without moving; is he practicing some kind of cultivation art?" someone asked curiously.

"Where did the person next to him come from? Is he a friend of the Bureau Chief?" Some people were not aware that the Twenty-Eight Mansions had come to the Bureau.

"Idiots, the Bureau Chief has been controlled! Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The alarm was sounded.

Beep-beep-beep, a long alarm sound of three longs and one short rang out in the Bureau, which represented that a major incident had occurred at the Bureau.

"What on earth is going on now? How could someone sneak into our Bureau? What does this mean?"

Many people were confused about the situation.

"Move aside, let me see."

A person as tall as an iron tower with a mohawk hairstyle squeezed in, and an incomparably huge armored wild boar appeared beside him.

"Mohawk, you arrived really fast."

A stunning beauty with a seductive figure and golden hair descended from the sky; her skirt was heavy, covered in gold decorations.

She held a Scepter crafted from Refined Gold, and countless killer bees made of metal circled around her.

"Yeah, Moxi, it's really rare to see you charging into the fray."

The ground split open, and a giant pangolin burst forth; on its back was an old man, and in his hands, he carried several people who were heavily injured and unconscious.

"The Deputy Director, it's the Deputy Director who has come."

"We are saved, Deputy Director; they seem to have captured the Director, please save the Director quickly."

"Indeed, it was already chaotic enough, and the people before us must be imposters disguised by the Unspeakable."

Soon, someone found a reason and began to shout loudly.

Ye Bai hacked into the internal network of the Bureau and quickly identified these few people.

The mohawk-haired man, named Moxi, is skilled in using dual axes and can go Berserk, causing his combat power to skyrocket; the Pet Beast he contracted is a Tier 7 Iron Armor Boar.

He is one of the eight Tier 7 Pet Beast Masters of the Bureau, possesses an extremely irritable personality, and is considered the right-hand man of Zhishen Dashi.

When Zhishen Dashi lined up to welcome them, he did not appear, clearly not holding him in any regard.

The Iron Armor Boar's dark cyan bristles stood on end like steel needles, and one could faintly see armor resembling bronze scales; two clusters of dark red, ghostly light shone from deep within its eye sockets, like poisoned blades.

What made it most shocking were its tusks, which resembled two giant axes.

At this moment, the Iron Armor Boar was pawing at the ground, snorting two streams of white steam from its nostrils.

The combat power of this Iron Armor Boar is quite astonishing; when erupting with full force, it can even crash through a Sturdy stone wall.

Its defensive power is extremely strong, basically impervious to blades and spears, and it is capable of swimming.

If the Iron Armor Boar had participated in the battle of Nantianmen Fortress, I fear Nantianmen Fortress would not have been able to hold.
