My master did mention that Hua Chaoyu had once been kind to him.

It wouldn't hurt to spare Hua Chaoyu's life if I won fair and square.

But only a fool would withdraw his troops on the eve of battle because of some "favor."

Having been refused twice, Hua Chaoyu finally turned her gaze towards Jiang Junci. "Jiang Junci, you abandoned A Yao Duo after taking advantage of her, and now you want to wipe out my Miao Jiang Gu Masters? Aren't you going too far?"

"Would Xie Bangui do such a thing?"

"Would the past masters of the Coffin Sect do such a thing?"

I was afraid that Jiang Junci would have a brain fart and actually come begging me, so I simply pushed him aside. "There is no Coffin Sect here, only Liangjie Tang."

"I'll give you two choices now. Either you all surrender, or I'll activate the Bing Huo Jiu Lian Tian formation and wipe you out on the spot."

Hua Chaoyu's face turned extremely ugly. A Gu Master stepped forward. "Li Po, don't think you can just bully the Miao Jiang Gu Masters. We'll fight to the death..."

Before he could finish, Ye Yang pierced his brow with a sword. Bloody sword energy shot out half a foot from the back of his head, scattering in all directions.

Red blood beads and silver-white sword energy intertwined. It wasn't just the blood painting the sword energy crimson, but the sword energy adding a sense of desolation to the bloody rain.

After Ye Yang's single sword strike, more than ten Gu Masters had fallen to the ground.

Hua Chaoyu trembled, "What... what did you do? Why aren't my Gu worms listening to me?"

"Nothing much, just a little poison." As I spoke, I locked onto Hua Chaoyu.

Hua Chaoyu looked at Yun Shang with bloodshot eyes. "She can poison us? What a joke!"

"Did you invite the Poison Granny or the Flower-Wood Elder?"

Miao Jiang Gu Masters are all renowned for their use of poison. Their living Gu and Yun Shang's herbal poisons each have their strengths. Generally speaking, living Gu are a bit more bizarre than herbal poisons.

Moreover, Yun Shang's reputation in the martial world was not particularly prominent. Hua Chaoyu naturally didn't believe that Yun Shang was the one who had schemed against the Gu Masters.

I smiled and took a few steps forward. "Yun Shang can't do it alone, of course. But with Ling, she can."

"We've been poisoning you along the way. With every step you take, you accumulate more poison."

"By the time you entered this house, you were completely poisoned."

As I walked towards Hua Chaoyu step by step, the latter retreated, her face deathly pale.

I stared into her eyes. "Hua Chaoyu, for the sake of your acquaintance with my master, I'll give you a chance to live."

"As long as you tell me why you're so set on targeting Liangjie Tang, I'll spare your life."

Hua Chaoyu trembled. "I'm not targeting Liangjie Tang. I'm just protecting Miao Jiang."

"If you don't tell me, you'll all die." As I spoke, I slashed at Hua Han with a backhand strike. As the fierce blade energy roared and flickered, a ball of golden light flashed from A Yao Duo's body, flying towards my blade energy.

The blade energy and the golden light collided and dissipated with a bang, but the golden light pressed down on my blade with the force of lightning. When I saw what it was, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It was actually a golden silkworm the size of a fist!

The Golden Silkworm Gu?

The supreme of all Gu?

I had heard of the Golden Silkworm Gu, but I never expected that someone could raise one so large.

I was only stunned for a moment before the golden silkworm bounced up again and stuck directly to my chest.

The moment the golden silkworm touched my clothes, I clearly felt a sharp pain in my chest, as if someone had stabbed me hard.

A Yao Duo, her forehead covered in cold sweat, said with difficulty, "Release all the Gu Masters, or I'll kill you with the Golden Silkworm."

All the Gu Masters had been tricked by Yun Shang and couldn't use their Gu worms. Only A Yao Duo had activated the Golden Silkworm Gu.

I looked down at myself. "Whoever can take away A Yao Duo's Golden Silkworm Gu, I'll spare their life. Otherwise, the Miao Jiang Gu Masters will be exterminated to the ninth degree of kinship."

Hua Chaoyu said sternly, "Li Po, you still dare to threaten us at this point?"

I looked at Hua Chaoyu with a half-smile. "Can you do math? I'm exchanging one person for all the Gu Masters of Miao Jiang. Is this a worthwhile deal?"

"Since it's worthwhile, why wouldn't I do it?"

"Besides, I might not die."

"There must be someone among you who's afraid of death, right?"

"It's still time to make a deal with me. Once I don't want to deal anymore, I won't be so easy to talk to."

A fierce glint flashed in Hua Chaoyu's eyes. "A Yao Duo, kill him! Once Li Po dies, Liangjie Tang will be leaderless, and they won't be able to make waves. Kill him quickly."

I turned to look at A Yao Duo. "Did you hear Jiang Junci mention Liangjie Tang?"

"In Liangjie Tang, everyone is a leader. As long as one person lives, we can flatten Miao Jiang."

"Do you want to bet and see?"

Before coming, I had checked Jiang Junci's chat history. It contained his chat logs with A Yao Duo, in which Liangjie Tang was mentioned many times.

A Yao Duo knew very well what the consequences would be if she killed me.

A Yao Duo looked at Jiang Junci. "Jiang Junci, I don't want anything anymore, and I won't keep you. Can you ask Li Po to spare the Gu Master lineage?"
