When Ye Zhen returned to King Qin's Mansion, Shen Yi had already sent one of the assassins. He was placed in the back room of the front yard, surrounded by dark guards.
Yesterday, Mo Rongzhan injected a trace of spiritual power into the assassin's forehead, stimulating the most painful part of the human body. The assassin finally no longer felt like a dead man, but he still couldn't get any useful information out of him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, they only confessed that they were hired to assassinate the princess, but when you asked who it was, they didn't say a word." Shen Yi said.
"It seems that they are organized killers." Ye Zhen whispered, "Let me see if I can detoxify them."
Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "Don't touch their skin."
"I know." Ye Zhen nodded gently and put a silk handkerchief on the assassin's wrist to feel his pulse and check his other symptoms.
She had been a doctor for so many years and read many medical books, many of which were about poisons. With her photographic memory, she was sure that she had never seen such a poisoning case.
She didn't even know what kind of poison could cause such a situation.
No wonder even Mo Rongzhan's spiritual power couldn't make them tell the truth. The poison in their bodies was too powerful.
Ye Zhen took out a porcelain bottle from her arms and poured the spring water into the assassin's mouth. She didn't know what poison they had, so there was no antidote for the symptoms. She could only try with the spring water.
Although the spring water couldn't completely detoxify the poison, it could at least alleviate their pain.
"His internal organs have been poisoned. Even if there is … medicine, it can only temporarily wake them up." Ye Zhen looked up at Mo Rongzhan. Because Shen Yi was present, she didn't say it was the spring water.
"It's enough to make him awake and answer questions." Mo Rongzhan said. He would not let anyone who wanted to hurt Ming Yu live.
"Ah ah …" The assassin, who had been unconscious, suddenly screamed.
Shen Yi was shocked. "Is he conscious?"
This was the first time he had seen the assassin react so strongly.
"Who are you?" Shen Yi immediately pressed the assassin's shoulder and asked.
"It hurts! Kill me! Kill me! "The assassin cried out in pain, his face contorted into a sinister and terrifying expression.
Shen Yi quickly sealed his acupoints, wanting to stop him from struggling. However, it was to no avail. The assassin continued to cry out in pain and pushed Shen Yi away with astonishing strength.
Mo Rongzhan protected Ye Zhen and retreated a few steps, not stopping the assassin's struggle.
"I beg you, kill me!" The assassin clutched his stomach and screamed. He had never been in such pain before. He felt as if his entire body was being bitten. It was painful and uncomfortable. He would rather die.
"Who sent you to kill the princess?" Shen Yi asked.
The assassin cried out, "I don't know, I really don't know. Someone wants us to kill them, but we don't know who they are …"
"Who is it?" Mo Rongzhan asked coldly. "Whose orders do you listen to?"
"Hallmaster … Hallmaster Wei …" The assassin's complexion turned ashen. Just as he said these three words, he twitched and fell to the ground.
Shen Yi hurriedly went forward to investigate, then turned to Mo Rongzhan and shook his head, "Wangye, he's dead."
"Who is Hall Master Wei?" Ye Zhen frowned and asked. Was it Wei or Wei?
"It's not easy to judge who it is just by his surname." Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "Maybe Ah Ke will know."
Mo Rongzhan felt that the mastermind behind the scenes was not only Qian Luocha's people. Murong Ke had already cleaned up Qian Luocha once. Those who really had the ability and were likely to kill Ming Yu must have been dealt with.
At best, this Hall Master Wei was just a man who worked for money.
"Your Highness, Wangfei, look!" Shen Yi suddenly exclaimed.
A bloody hole appeared on the assassin's body, and the skin all over his body was corroding at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bloody hole was getting bigger and bigger, and the black blood spread under his body. The picture looked terrible.
Ye Zhen saw such a picture for the first time. She grasped Mo Rongzhan's hand tightly, and two words appeared in her mind: Gu poison.
She couldn't think of any poison that could be so powerful except for Gu poison.
"What is this?" Shen Yi covered his nose and saw a group of insects the size of ants crawling out of the assassin's body.
The insects crawled very fast, quickly looking for the next host. Otherwise, they would die immediately after leaving the blood.
Mo Rongzhan set up a boundary around the assassin. The insects could not break through the boundary and anxiously crawled on the ground. It didn't take long for the assassin's skin to be gnawed by the insects, leaving only a pile of black bones.
Unable to find the next host, the swarm of insects soon lay motionless on the ground.
"Is this … a Gu insect?" Ye Zhen's face was slightly pale. When she was caught and brought to the priest hall, she had never seen such a Gu insect.
"He was fed a Gu insect, no wonder …" Shen Yi swallowed. He didn't know how Mo Rongzhan made the insects unable to crawl out, but he felt that if it weren't for his Highness, he might have ended up like the assassin lying there.
Mo Rongzhan said in a deep voice, "Go to the secret guard station immediately. Kill the assassin and burn him. No one is allowed to approach him. These insects live in the human body. Once they leave the human body, they will find the next host. Without blood, they will die. Be careful."
Shen Yi thought of the terrible insects. "I'll go right away."
"Ah Zhan!" Ye Zhen knew that he had just set up a boundary. "What the hell are these?"
Mo Rongzhan squeezed her hand and explained in a low voice, "Blood insects are what blood demons use to control others. They are eggs in the host's body. The eggs nourish the human body and control the host's thoughts. These insects are not fully formed yet. It seems that your spiritual spring has stimulated them."
Ye Zhen had never heard of blood demons and blood insects before. "What will happen if they are formed?"
"The blood demons will take the eggs back, and the host will die." Mo Rongzhan said coldly.
To put it bluntly, the blood insects are the cultivation tools of the blood demons.
"That blood demon … is it also from the Desolate Hell?" Ye Zhen asked. The thought of such a terrible monster made her feel a chill down her spine.
Mo Rongzhan held her hand and explained to her in a low voice, "Blood demons are not considered demonic beasts. Legend has it that a great demonic beast once taught mortals how to cultivate, and mortals cultivated the demonic techniques of the great demonic beast. Later, they became blood demons."
Ye Zhen took a deep breath. "I don't care if they are great monsters or blood demons. Why did they kill Ming Yu?"
How many terrible monsters were hidden in the human world? The enemy was in the dark while they were in the light. How could they find them?
"It is impossible for blood demons to survive for thousands of years. They are not great monsters. The blood demons in the human world today should have just become demons." Mo Rongzhan said. "The emergence of great monsters will bring chaos to the world."
