Qiuming Mountain snorted, "You do know how to talk, but rest assured, I'm not like Zhu He. I won't do anything I'm not confident about. Actually, before deciding to et Zhu He, I roughly investigated the situation here. Originally, I wanted you to follow Zhu He down to hell. But now, I've changed my mind."
Hearing the first half of Qiuming Mountain's words, Xie Fang was almost scared out of his wits, but upon hearing the second half, he quickly kowtowed in gratitude, "Brother-in-law, from now on, whatever you say goes, I definitely won't hesitate in the slightest. Wherever you point, I'll go. I'm ready to face any challenge without hesitation."
Qiuming Mountain, being new here and in need of manpower, naturally wouldn't kill Xie Fang lightly. Seeing this, he spoke without revealing his emotions, "Xie Fang, since you know, I won't say much more. Co, to express your loyalty to , co over."
Xie Fang raised his head and saw Qiuming Mountain beckoning him, so he walked forward in confusion.
Qiuming Mountain took out a small bottle filled with tiny centipedes, making it a horrifying sight.
He opened the lid, and a small centipede crawled out, climbing onto Qiuming Mountain's palm.
"Open your mouth," Qiuming Mountain said to Xie Fang.
Xie Fang's pupils contracted, "Brother-in-law, what are you…?"
"This is a Gu worm I've crafted, called the Heart Linked Gu. Once you consu it, your life will be linked with mine. If anything happens to , you'll die as well. Hehe, of course, if you die, it won't affect ."
Xie Fang wanted to refuse, but seeing the calm look in Qiuming Mountain's eyes, he knew that if he refused today, he would likely have only one path—death.
After swallowing the Heart Linked Gu, Xie Fang felt no different.
"Brother-in-law, my loyalty is as clear as heaven and earth!" Xie Fang said, patting his chest.
Qiuming Mountain placed the small bottle in Xie Fang's hand, "Good! If you do well, I won't treat you poorly. For now, don't provoke that Ye Guichen. Inside the bottle, there are seventy-seven Heart Linked Gu. Find seventy-seven people and have them ingest it. Once they consu it, they will beco your complete slaves, understood?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Fang's eyes lit up.
He had always dread of living a life of power and influence, and with this, he could control others.
"Understood, understood!" Xie Fang nodded hastily.
Qiuming Mountain waved his hand, signaling for Xie Fang to leave.
After Xie Fang left, Qiuming Mountain embraced Pan Qiuxiang onto the bed.
"Master, is Xie Fang reliable?" Pan Qiuxiang served Qiuming Mountain with all her might.
Qiuming Mountain snorted coldly, "With the Heart Linked Gu, he has to be reliable even if he's not. Hehe, Zhu He was too rciful. If he had made you swallow this Heart Linked Gu earlier, you wouldn't be like a little kitten with now."
As Qiuming Mountain spoke, his face showed a look of intoxication.
Full of ambition.
He never got along with Zhu He. Five or six years ago, he was supposed to be the one assigned to Jinling, but Zhu He snatched that spot from him.
Originally, he thought this trip to Jinling was just to assist Zhu He, but unexpectedly, Zhu He died.
Zhu He practically made wedding clothes for him.
"Hehe, Ye Guichen, and Heavenly Master Tao, actually I have to thank you both. Without you, how could I have gotten everything of Zhu He's so easily?" Qiuming Mountain was extrely pleased with himself.
After Xie Fang left, his sycophantic smile turned sinister.
He had thought he could get everything Zhu He had, but now, out of nowhere, he was controlled by a Gu and beca a puppet.
Despite countless unwilling feelings in his heart, Xie Fang knew he had no choice.
He could only comply with Qiuming Mountain's instructions.
Xie Fang didn't doubt Qiuming Mountain's thods at all, nor did he believe he was being deceived.
The art of Gu poison is inherently mysterious.
Back then, Xie Fang had seen Zhu He perform it with his own eyes, and after seeing Zhu He cultivating monsters like water monkeys, he firmly believed in the sorcery of Gu poison.
Unconsciously, subtle changes occurred in Xie Fang's heart.
He originally wanted to climb up step by step and enjoy riches and honor, but after being inflicted with the Gu by Qiuming Mountain, holding the bottle in his hand, he thought about making more people like him, becoming puppets.
"If I'm not well, don't think any of you will be!"
Xie Fang didn't notice that as he left, a figure was following at a distance.
Feng Guoguo had been following Xie Fang, initially thinking Xie Fang would stay overnight at Zhu He's house, but unexpectedly he left after just half an hour.
To avoid alerting anyone, Feng Guoguo didn't approach rashly and didn't know what happened during Xie Fang's ti there.
But seeing the look on Xie Fang's face upon leaving, Feng Guoguo felt sothing must have happened in that half-hour that he wasn't aware of.
After a brief hesitation, Feng Guoguo quickly climbed like a gecko to the window outside Zhu He's house.
Before getting close, he heard a woman's scream from inside.
Feng Guoguo was startled, not expecting soone else to be in there.
Fortunately, Qiuming Mountain was too excited to notice the situation outside, giving Feng Guoguo an opportunity.
With a little observation, Qiuming Mountain found that besides a woman, there was a strange man inside.
Although he didn't know who these two were, Feng Guoguo felt they were definitely connected to the Eternal Life Hall.
"Better go find Xie Fang and ask," thinking this, Feng Guoguo quietly retreated and followed Xie Fang again.
Xie Fang had just sat in the car, playing with the small bottle in his hand, pondering who to give the Heart Linked Gu inside to.
At this mont, the car door suddenly opened, and soone sat in the passenger seat.
"Who are you…" Xie Fang's face changed drastically, instinctively reaching under the car seat.
There was a steel pipe there, which Xie Fang kept for ergencies.
Being the manager of a sales center, he sotis offended many people, and there were those who sought revenge. With this steel pipe, he often escaped trouble.
"No need to panic, I just want to ask you a few questions." Feng Guoguo glanced at Xie Fang's hand, "If you dare make a move, I won't mind silencing you for good."
Saying that, Feng Guoguo grabbed Xie Fang's shoulder, exerting force.
Xie Fang imdiately felt intense pain, as if his whole arm had lost sensation.
Knowing he'd encountered a master, Xie Fang quickly begged for rcy, "Okay, okay, you ask, go ahead and ask."
Saying this, Xie Fang quietly opened the small bottle in his hand.
A small centipede crawled silently towards Feng Guoguo.
Before Feng Guoguo could ask a question, the small centipede had already burrowed into Feng Guoguo's body upon contact.
Feeling a sudden sharp pain, Feng Guoguo looked down at where the centipede had entered, his face instantly darkening.
"What did you do to ?" Feng Guoguo glared at Xie Fang and shouted.
