Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

"Does the elder mean that the Gu poison on Master's body was created by Ni Chang?"

After listening to the old woman's story, Xi Yun immediately focused her attention on this key figure in the story.

The white-bearded elder sitting in the middle nodded and continued, "Although Xiaoman has never said it explicitly, we can see that she always feels indebted to her junior sister. However, Ni Chang is no longer the Ni Chang she once was. Ever since she began practicing evil arts and feeding the evil Gu with her own flesh and blood, Ni Chang's personality has changed drastically! Now, in this world, only she can successfully implant the Gu worm into Xiaoman!"

"Didn't the former high priest already die at her hands? What does this have to do with Master? Does she have to kill Master with her own hands before she's satisfied?"

Xi Yun was somewhat indignant.

While Ni Chang in the story is indeed pitiful, was she also kept in the dark by the former high priest's shady dealings?

Most importantly, he felt that there were some inconsistencies in the story the elder told. For example, who exactly told Ni Chang the content of the conversation between the high priest and He Lichuan? And who sent the group of assassins who broke into Ni Chang and He Lichuan's house right after her master left?

"Were the assassins who killed He Lichuan back then sent by the former High Priest?"

Xi Yun directly asked the elders the question that had been on her mind.

All the elders shook their heads.

"I don't know," the old woman said. "Nie Hua never mentioned this. But judging from the expressions and demeanor of the two when Ni Chang led her men into Gu Nu Village that night, Nie Hua should not know about it. However, Ni Chang, who is already twisted by hatred, would not believe such things."

"So, it seems there's an unknown force lurking in the shadows involved in this incident?"

Xi Yun was startled and immediately realized something, "Could there be other hidden reasons why Master was poisoned this time?"

It seems that the enemy that Gu Nu Village is facing now is not only Ni Chang, but also that unknown force hiding in the shadows!

Just as the white-bearded elder was about to say something more to Xi Yun, a clansman rushed in looking flustered.

"Elder, Holy Maiden, something terrible has happened! Just now, several more people have experienced the same situation as the High Priest, collapsing and falling into a coma for no apparent reason!"

Upon hearing this sudden and tragic news, all the elders and Xi Yun looked grave, but they did not show much surprise.

This situation was clearly within their expectations.

Xi Yun did not stay in the elders' residence any longer. She immediately left with the clansman who had come to report to check on the condition of the unconscious people.

When Xi Yun arrived, Jiang Yuchuan and Ji Zizhou had already arrived and had examined the group.

"Senior Brother Jiang, are their situations the same as Master's?"

Xi Yun asked Jiang Yuchuan.

Jiang Yuchuan nodded. "That's right. The Gu worms that afflicted these six people are of the same type as those that afflicted the High Priest; they were all implanted in their heads. However, compared to the High Priest, the Gu worms in the heads of these six people are much smaller."

"it is as expected!"

Xi Yun then asked Jiang Yuchuan, "When will Senior Brother Jiang's medicine be ready?"

"The day after tomorrow at the latest."

Hearing Jiang Yuchuan's reply, Xi Yun felt a little relieved. "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother Jiang. Once the village has overcome this crisis, I will definitely repay you for your efforts."

With a crisis looming and time running out, the group didn't waste any more words and immediately split up to take action.

Jiang Yuchuan and Ji Zizhou were responsible for preparing a prescription to delay the awakening of the Gu worms, while Xi Yun, along with the elders and the clansmen in the village who were skilled in Gu techniques, searched through ancient books and worked together to study ways to expel and resolve the Gu worms.

During this period, more than a dozen members of the Gu Nu Zhai clan fell into a coma after being poisoned by Gu. These people, including the first six, were not ordinary villagers, but elites of Gu Nu Zhai who were skilled in martial arts and Gu techniques.

It is obvious that the person who used the Gu poison targeted these people, and their purpose is also obvious: to further weaken the strength of the Gu Nu Village.

As for how the other party used the Gu poison, Xi Yun and the others had absolutely no clue.

Amidst a series of devastating news, the only piece of good news was that Jiang Yuchuan had successfully developed a prescription to delay the awakening of the Gu worms within the stipulated time and administered it to the infected individuals in turn.

Jiang Yuchuan's prescription delayed Xi Yun and the others by six days.

After tireless and unremitting efforts by the leaders of Guniu Village, they finally succeeded in developing a method to expel the Gu worms on the fourth day.

However, while this method of using Gu to kill Gu can expel the Gu worms hidden in the head of a comatose person, it is quite dangerous and consumes a lot of the person's vital energy.

Although all those who were successfully treated were able to awaken from their coma, they were extremely weak due to the excessive consumption of qi and blood, and needed to rest for a period of time, unable to move around normally in a short period of time.

However, just as everyone was preparing to expel the Gu worms from the high priest, an unexpected incident occurred.

The Gu worms used to kill the evil Gu could never enter the High Priest's body to fight the dormant evil Gu in his head.

"how so?!"

Everyone was shocked.

It seems that the Gu worms inside the high priest's body are much more powerful and troublesome than expected.

If they cannot successfully save the high priest, then all their efforts over the past few days will have been in vain.

Without a high priest to oversee it, the Gu Nu Village is almost certainly no match for Ni Chang.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the alarm bell in the village suddenly rang.

"—Enemy attack!"

When everyone arrived outside, they saw the village's experts engaged in a fierce battle with a large group of masked men who had stormed into the village.

In the sky, two large groups of insects of different colors were locked in a fierce battle.

One group was released by an elder in the village, while the other group was controlled by a middle-aged woman with a fierce face, dressed in dark purple light clothing, who stood on the watchtower.

Xi Yun's gaze locked onto the woman in purple. "Is she Ni Chang?"

"Not bad!"

An elder standing next to Xi Yun nodded solemnly, "I didn't expect her to launch an attack at this time! It seems she has spies in our village!"

"Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's think about how to get through this!"

Another elder uttered a sentence and immediately rushed into the crowd to join the battle.

Without further ado, Xi Yun and the others charged at the masked men.
