Li Muxuan let out a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile spreading across his face: "Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Jiang. I assure you, Quanxing will never harm innocent people again."

Jiang Mo nodded and didn't say anything more.

Just then, there was a rapid knocking at the door.

“Come in,” Jiang Mo said.

Zhang Chulan pushed open the door and entered, a hint of nervousness on his face: "Big brother, President Zhao called, saying he has something urgent to discuss with you."

Jiang Mo took the phone from Zhang Chulan and held it to his ear: "President Zhao, what's up?"

"Mr. Jiang, something has happened to Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley." Zhao Fangxu's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone grave.

"A series of bizarre deaths of strange individuals have suddenly occurred there, and the situation is extremely strange. We suspect it may be related to Gu poison."

"Gu?" Jiang Mo frowned slightly. "What exactly is going on?"

Zhao Fangxu gave a brief description of the situation at the scene.

Recently, several strange people have died suddenly in Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley.

Strange black spots appeared on the corpse, and the Qi within its body seemed to have been completely devoured by some kind of force.

The investigators sent by the company also developed similar symptoms, and their situation became extremely critical.

"Jiang Mo, given your in-depth research into Gu techniques, I would like to request that you personally investigate this matter."

Zhao Fangxu's voice was pleading, "The company is willing to pay a reward of 300 million yuan."

"In addition, we have collected a batch of quite valuable Gu worms and poisons, which can be used as payment."

Upon hearing this condition, a flicker of interest flashed in Jiang Mo's eyes.

Money is not important to him, but those precious Gu worms and poisons are important resources for his cultivation.

“I understand, I will go as soon as possible,” Jiang Mo replied simply.

"Great! The company has arranged a private jet, and we can depart anytime."

Zhao Fangxu's voice was filled with obvious joy, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Jiang!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Mo looked at Li Muxuan and Zhang Chulan: "Looks like we have a new mission."

Li Muxuan stood up: "In that case, I won't disturb Mr. Jiang any longer. As for our agreement..."

“I will keep my promise.” Jiang Mo nodded. “As long as the Quanxing faction behaves itself, I will not actively seek trouble.”

Li Muxuan nodded solemnly, bowed to Jiang Mo, and then turned and left the room.

"Brother, what happened to Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley?" Zhang Chulan couldn't help but ask after Li Muxuan left.

"It seems a special kind of Gu worm is at work, causing the sudden death of the strange man."

Jiang Mo explained simply, "President Zhao wanted me to go and take a look."

"Big brother, do you want me to go with you?" Zhang Chulan asked, his eyes full of worry.

Jiang Mo shook his head: "No need, I can go by myself this time."

"If it really is caused by Gu worms, you would be in danger if you went with them."

"Then you must be careful, brother," Zhang Chulan said solemnly.

Jiang Mo nodded and began packing his things.

Regarding the batch of precious Gu worms and poisons mentioned by Zhao Fangxu.

He was indeed very interested. Ever since he mastered the true essence of Gu magic.

Jiang Mo discovered that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his cultivation.

These special Gu worms and poisons are exactly the resources he needs.

"Shall we set off now?" Zhang Chulan asked, watching Jiang Mo's movements.

"Yes, the sooner the better." Jiang Mo put several ancient books and some necessary items into his backpack, then looked at Zhang Chulan.

"While I'm away, you and Chen Duo stay at the bunker. Contact General Manager Zhao directly if anything happens."

Zhang Chulan nodded: "Don't worry, big brother, I will take good care of Chen Duo."

Jiang Mo smiled slightly and patted Zhang Chulan on the shoulder: "I believe in you."

Then, Jiang Mo slung her bag over her shoulder and walked out the door.

“Brother Jiang Mo.” Just as Jiang Mo was about to leave.

Chen Duo walked into the room, holding a small jade bottle. "These are some antidote pills I recently refined. Take them with you; they might come in handy."

Jiang Mo took the jade bottle, her expression softening slightly: "Thank you, Chen Duo."

Chen Duo smiled slightly, her eyes full of concern: "You must come back safely."

Jiang Mo nodded, glanced at Zhang Chulan and Chen Duo again, and then turned and left the room.

Outside the bunker, a black sedan had been waiting for a long time.

After Jiang Mo got into the car, it started immediately and headed towards the airport.

In the car, Jiang Mo closed his eyes to rest, pondering the incidents of the sudden deaths of the extraordinary individuals that Zhao Fangxu had mentioned.

If it really was caused by Gu poison, then someone must be manipulating it behind the scenes.

Although the Medicine Immortal Society has been completely eradicated, the art of Gu poison has been passed down for a long time in the southern border region.

There are bound to be other masters of Gu techniques.

However, anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time is probably courting death.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Jiang Mo's lips as he gently stroked the ancient book in his backpack.

It contains many long-lost secret techniques of Gu poison, including some extremely powerful forbidden arts.

He rarely used these forbidden techniques before this.

But if necessary, he wouldn't mind letting the other party witness the true power of the Gu God.

The car quickly arrived at the airport, where a private plane was already waiting on the runway.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Mo boarded the plane directly.

“Mr. Jiang,” a woman in uniform approached and said respectfully.

"I am Chen Jing, the liaison officer for this mission. Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

Jiang Mo nodded, said nothing more, and sat down in a seat at the back of the plane.

Seeing this, Chen Jing wisely stepped aside, not disturbing Jiang Mo's rest.

Shortly after, the plane took off and flew towards the Twenty-Four Valleys.

On the plane, Jiang Mo kept flipping through ancient books while pondering the possibilities of this incident.

If it really is the work of witchcraft, then what is the other party's purpose?

Why create such chaos in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley?

Many questions swirled in Jiang Mo's mind, but without concrete clues, he was unable to reach a clear conclusion.

“Mr. Jiang.” Chen Jing’s voice interrupted Jiang Mo’s thoughts.

"General Manager Zhao asked me to pass on some materials to you; it's a detailed report on the recent events involving Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley."

Jiang Mo took the documents and began to read them.

According to the report, twelve people with unusual abilities have died mysteriously in the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Valley in the past month.

The deaths occurred primarily at night, and the deceased all had black, spiderweb-like markings on their bodies, indicating that their vital energy had been completely absorbed.

What's even stranger is that none of these deceased individuals exhibited any unusual symptoms before their deaths.

Moreover, they all died suddenly without any warning, as if they were killed instantly by some invisible force.

Of the four high-level superhumans the company sent to investigate, two have already shown similar symptoms.

He is currently receiving emergency treatment, but his condition is not optimistic.

Jiang Mo frowned; this manner of death did indeed resemble some kind of special Gu technique.
