After leaving the mountain gate, Su Qingyuan couldn’t help but ask, “Why didn’t you kill him?”
“His life is the same as his death, and sometimes it’s even more painful than death,” David explained with a smile.
Su Qingyuan nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly smiled: “You always do things in unexpected ways.”
“That’s right.” David grinned. “If I could be seen through by everyone, how could I survive?”
The two chatted and laughed as they flew toward their next destination.
Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect: Fighting Poison with Poison
The Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect is based in the poisonous miasma of the southwest. All members of the sect practice the art of Gu poison, with the method of ten thousand Gu devouring the body as its foundation. They act ruthlessly and viciously, and no one within a radius of ten thousand miles dares to provoke them.
When they besieged the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect sent a Poison Dao Elder to secretly poison the water source of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace, killing hundreds of disciples. The method was extremely despicable.
When David heard about this, his face unusually lost its smile.
“Using poison to kill cultivators is not a skill.”
He said calmly, “Bullying a group of people who can’t even fight back is hardly a skill. This kind of sect is just a menace if it’s left alive.”
Su Qingyuan nodded, a cold glint in her eyes: “I remember that elder who poisoned me. He was called the Gu Poison Elder, one of the three great elders of the Demon Sect.”
The two traveled south, crossing numerous miasmas, and arrived at the Valley of Poisonous Miasma, where the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect was located.
The valley was shrouded in mist, with colorful miasma intertwining and swirling. The ground was crawling with countless poisonous insects and ants. If an ordinary cultivator took even half a step inside, the poisonous gas would erode their cultivation foundation, leading to their untimely death.
Standing at the valley entrance, David looked at the miasma and suddenly turned to Su Qingyuan, asking, “Are you afraid of poison?”
Su Qingyuan said calmly, “The Nine Heavens Mystic Fire burns away all poisons, what do I have to fear?”
“That’s true.” David chuckled. “Let’s go in and have a chat with them about life.”
He stepped into the miasma, the primordial chaos flowing around him. The poisonous miasma and insects were devoured by the primordial chaos as soon as they got within three feet of him, leaving not even a trace.
Su Qingyuan followed closely behind, her Nine Heavens Mystic Fire burning on her body, extinguishing the poison gas as soon as it approached.
The two made their way through the poisonous miasma as if it were empty, and arrived at the headquarters of the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect.
The main gate was tightly closed, and faint rustling crawling sounds could be heard from inside, as if countless venomous insects were surging in the shadows.
David raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Inside the door, countless Gu worms surged out like a tidal wave, a dark, oppressive mass, carrying a foul, poisonous stench, and lunged at the two of them.
David remained calm and waved his hand, causing the Chaos Origin to transform into a gray-black flame that burned towards the swarm of insects.
The Gu worms burst into flames upon contact with fire, making crackling sounds as they turn to ashes in large swathes.
“You dare call yourselves the Demonic Sect with just these few insects?”
David pursed his lips and stepped inside, saying, “I thought it would be quite a grand affair.”
Deep within the main altar, an old man with a gaunt face and countless Gu worms wrapped around his body slowly emerged. He was none other than the Sect Master of the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Sect, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu.
He stared at David and said in a hoarse voice, “Your skill is truly remarkable. You were able to easily break through my Myriad Poison Tide. May I ask who you are and what brings you to my Demon Sect?”
“Collecting debts.”
David stated succinctly, “Wanfa Tiangong, you poisoned and killed more than a hundred disciples. This debt should be settled today.”
The Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu’s expression changed, then he gave a sinister smile: “So you’re remnants of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace! I’ve always regretted not being able to personally poison Su Qingyuan during the siege of the Myriad Laws Heavenly Palace. Today, you’ve delivered yourselves to my doorstep—”
Before he finished speaking, the Gu worms all over his body suddenly sprang up, transforming into a dark cloud of insects that swept towards David.
The cloud of insects contained highly poisonous Daoist energy; once it touched one’s body, even one’s soul would be corroded.
David stood there, looking at the cloud of insects, and suddenly laughed: “Old man, you think you’re so great because you’ve raised so many insects?”
As he spoke, the primordial chaos erupted, transforming into a gray-black vortex that swept up the entire cloud of insects, devouring it completely.
The Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu’s pupils shrank suddenly. Before he could react, David had already appeared in front of him and slapped him on the top of his head.
The primordial chaos poured in, annihilating his poisonous Dao foundation, natal Gu worms, and divine soul.
The Old Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu stared wide-eyed, and before he could even let out a scream, he fell straight down and died.
