"A spy from the Human Realm?" Holy Maiden Ling Xin was slightly moved, but she immediately understood. Granny Zhao's movements were rather agile just now. Although she was far from being an expert, she did have some cultivation, so she could not be an ordinary woman.
Shi Chuxin walked forward slowly and nodded. "That's right. When she attacked me just now, she even took the opportunity to use the Human Realm's Mind Manipulation Technique on me."
"In that case, she's asking for trouble when she's up against your Bodhi Heart Mirror …" The Holy Daughter was initially a little worried, but when she heard that it was a Mind Absorbing Spell, she immediately felt relieved. Shi Chuxin was born with Buddhist wisdom. In terms of temperament, he was the best among the younger generation. That was why he was able to cultivate the Bodhi Heart Mirror at such a young age. Those who cultivated this technique not only had a calm Zen heart, but they could also defend against mental spells. They could also reflect spells like a mirror, causing the caster to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
However, before he could take a breath, Holy Maiden Ling Xin's expression changed, and she said, "Be careful!"
Behind Shi Chuxin, the red mist that Granny Zhao had scattered earlier was now rolling back, and it actually wrapped around Shi Chuxin's back.
"It's alright." Shi Chuxin remained calm in the face of danger. He put his palms together in front of his chest, and the golden Buddha's light shone again. A copious amount of pure energy spread in all directions, and the red mist was instantly dispersed, scattering like dust.
The Holy Maiden took a closer look and saw that it was not the red mist, but many tiny red insects that were densely packed together. Holy Maiden Ling Xin was a woman by nature, so she could not help but feel her scalp go numb when she saw such a dense swarm of insects. The insects that were scattered on the ground seemed to be burned by the sun, and white smoke rose from them. The last swarm of insects evaporated. Holy Maiden Ling Xin's voice trembled as she recognized these insects, and she said, "This is … the Red Thread Venomous Insect?"
The Art of Venomous Poison originated from the Nan Miao tribe. It was an ancient evil art that used venomous insects to harm people. The venomous insects were ever-changing and difficult to guard against. The Red Thread Venomous Poison Worm was one of the most dangerous and venomous species. Its body was so small that it could not be detected, but it could drill into the human body through the skin. It would eat flesh and gnaw on bones. It multiplied rapidly in the human body and then spread. A single worm could often destroy an entire village. Even the Nan Miao tribe feared this little worm and listed the Red Thread Venomous Poison Worm as a forbidden spell.
Shi Chuyi, who had remained calm even in the face of danger, had a change in expression when he saw the Red Thread Gu worm. He asked Granny Zhao, who was on the ground, "Where did you throw the Red Thread Gu worm? Where is the Mother of Gu? "
Although Shi Chuixu was asking, he did not wait for her to answer. He straightened her body, pressed his thumbs on her temples, and stared into her murky eyes. Granny Zhao's mind manipulation technique had been reflected by the Bodhi Heart Mirror, and now, Shi Chuxin was controlling her mind instead. As Shi Chuxin's eyes lit up, her memories were reflected in Shi Chuxin's eyes like a mirror.

"Venerable Sickness, Envoy of Hardship, Envoy of Sorrow … It's been thirteen years … You're finally here?" The reeds swayed, and the water rippled. In the depths of the reeds was a boat. A sickly man with a yellow face and a bamboo pole was sitting on the boat. Beside him, a fat man with a bitter face and a thin man with a sorrowful face stood on his left and right. Judging from the images in his memory, these three people were Venerable Sickness, Fan Qubing, one of the Four Venerables of the Human Realm, and Envoy of Hardship and Envoy of Sorrow, one of the Thirteen Emissaries of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
Venerable Sickness, Fan Qubing, coughed a few times and said, "It's really hard for you to stay in the Udumbara Pure Sect for thirteen years. However, the news you sent earlier said that Ying Feiyang is in the Udumbara Pure Sect, and he's in the Alert Heart Tower. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. It's just that I'm just a washerwoman with a lowly status. I can't get more detailed information …"
"Cough, cough, cough … It's enough. Su Miaoyin is extremely difficult to deal with. You're the only one among the many spies that have been placed in the Udumbara Pure Sect over the years. If you wanted to sneak into their inner circle, I'm afraid you'd have been exposed long ago …"
"I'm incompetent …"
"It's already very good. I'll give you the last task in the Udumbara Pure Sect. These are two bamboo tubes with the Red Thread Venomous Insect in them. If you throw them into the Alert Heart Tower, Ying Feiyang will definitely die. The spiritual fog in the Alert Heart Tower is a hotbed to nourish the Red Thread Venomous Insect. It'll only take a period of time … Hehe, the elites of the Udumbara Pure Sect will rush to the center of Sichuan. Perhaps by the time they return, the Udumbara Pure Sect will be completely engulfed by the red tide!"
- = - = - = - = - =
"Oh no, now that the Udumbara Pure Sect is going to the center of Sichuan, the rear defense is empty. She actually took advantage of the loophole! I discovered that she was hiding behind the Alert Heart Tower just now. Has she already succeeded, or is she about to make a move? "
Shangshu's heart tightened. Just as she was about to speed up the speed of her memory, she suddenly heard Goddess Ling Xin say, "Retreat!"
As the voice entered her ears, Shangshu felt her waist tighten. She had already been restrained by the Ten Zhang Light Dust and pulled back.
The moment she retreated, she saw countless red worms drilling out of the pores all over Granny Zhao's body. They were densely packed and extremely terrifying. A living person had actually become an empty human shell in the blink of an eye!
"It's really the last mission in the Udumbara Pure Sect. The people of the Human Realm actually planted the parasite poison in her body!" Shangshu instantly understood that the Human Realm had treated her as an abandoned pawn. While she was shocked, she used her pure Buddhist technique again, turning it into a qi wall that trapped the numerous parasites in all directions.
Although the red thread parasites reproduced quickly, they couldn't leave the human body for a long time and couldn't see the light. The gathered parasites were like a red snake twisting its body, trying its best to hide in the shade of the tree. However, they couldn't advance or retreat under the qi wall and quickly evaporated under the sunlight.
Then, Shangshu Chuxin raised her sleeve to wipe her cold sweat and said to the Goddess, "The situation isn't good. Brother Ying might have been poisoned by the parasite!"
"What?" Goddess Ling Xin cried out in alarm. She was already secretly worried when she saw the red thread parasites. If the parasites had really seeped into her body, then the current Ying Feiyang might not be able to resist!
Shangshu Chuxin consoled her. "Don't worry, I'll enter the Wariness Pagoda to observe. Also, the red thread parasites have a parasite mother. If the parasite mother dies or is too far away, the other parasites will die too. Therefore, the parasite mother should be residing in Venerable Illness's body. Killing it is the only way to solve the problem once and for all. Venerable Illness is most likely still hiding in the reeds on the south side. I'll leave that side to you! "
"Alright! Then be careful! "Heavenly Daughter Ling Xin nodded. Then, she flew away on her Light Dust.
After seeing her leave, Shangshu Chuxin pushed open the pagoda's door and entered.
Fog surged in the pagoda, but Shangshu Chuxin was no longer disturbed by his inner demons, so the fog didn't affect him.
With a flick of her sleeve, Shi Chuxin swept away the fog that obstructed his vision. Then, she fixed her gaze on the floor and used her slender fingers to touch the bricks. "This is the mucus secreted by the red thread parasites. As expected, the parasites have already seeped into the pagoda. Then, Brother Ying …"
Shangshu Chuxin's expression was solemn. He gathered his Qi around him to guard against the parasites that could appear from the fog at any time. Then, he rushed to the top of the pagoda in search of Ying Feiyang. However, along the way, he didn't see any traces of Ying Feiyang.
It was only when he reached the top of the pagoda that he saw the most shocking scene.
