Eternal Pill Emperor

However, it was good to hear it. No matter how small the hidden danger was, it should be eliminated.    

After all, if he hadn't been unable to break through because of the knot in his heart, he probably wouldn't have known that the Black Wind Territory was actually controlled by these two people.    

The human-faced spider stammered, "I can... speak, but you have to promise... not to kill me?"    

Gu Xuan shook his head and said with a smile, "You might not be clear-headed. Let me help you clear your head."    

With a thought, the Heaven Slaughter Sword was already floating in front of Gu Xuan.    

An awe-inspiring sword intent erupted from the Heaven Slaughter Sword. It was powerful and terrifying to the extreme.    

Under this sword intent, even space seemed to be unable to withstand it, and sword marks kept appearing.    

The human-faced spider felt that all of a sudden, its entire body, both inside and outside, seemed to be filled with sword intent.    

If it made even the slightest movement, the sword intent would instantly turn into sword light and cut every cell in its body into pieces!    

Cold sweat appeared on the human-faced spider's face.    

It was only now that it truly realized how powerful Gu Xuan was.    

This kind of power was something that it wouldn't be able to contend against even if it cultivated for thousands or tens of thousands of years.    

"If you don't tell me, I'll die right now.    

If you say it, you can buy some time and think of a way to escape.    

Maybe I'll let you go if I'm happy.    

So, are you willing to tell me?"    

Gu Xuan smiled gently.    

However, in the eyes of the human-faced spider, this gentleness was terrifying.    

It hurriedly nodded and squeezed out two words with a sobbing tone, "I'll speak."    

Gu Xuan nodded slightly and put away the Heaven Slaughter Sword. He had an expression of a child who could be taught: "That's more like it."    

The human-faced spider then told Gu Xuan the whole story.    

Gu Xuan listened with interest at first.    

Halfway through, he couldn't help but doubt the intelligence of the human-faced spider and Lu Jingjing.    

In the end, Gu Xuan wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.    

There were too many things to complain about.    

The human-faced spider's "Ying Tian Sect infiltration plan" had actually started a hundred years ago.    

The first step was to let the Giant Spirit Mantis God possess the Tang Sect's Ancestor without anyone knowing.    

The Giant Spirit Mantis specialized in the Dao of Wood, while the Tang Sect Patriarch specialized in the Dao of Earth. Using Earth to create Wood could greatly increase the Giant Spirit Mantis' talent.    

As for the fact that the Tang Sect Ancestor was about to die, they had not expected it at all.    

After finding out about this matter, the Giant Spirit Mantis took the initiative to speed up the progress of its plan.    

If Gu Xuan did not go to the Mantis Sect, the Tang Sect Ancestor would be possessed in at most half a month.    

If he did not advance to the Saint Stage, it could be said that he would definitely die.    

As for the reason why the human-faced spider chose the Tang Sect's Ancestor, other than the fact that he specialized in the Dao of Earth, there were two other reasons.    

The first reason was that he was a cousin of an Outer Door Elder surnamed Tang from the Ying Tian Sect.    

The second was the Earth Element Power and Wood Type Power that the Giant Spirit Mantis needed people who had witch beast blood essence in their bodies to cultivate.    

Therefore, he gave the Giant Spirit Mantis the Talisman sealed with the blood essence of a witch beast so that it could use it during the possession process.    

Once the possession was successful, the blood essence of the voodoo beast would perfectly fuse with his blood essence.    

After that, the Earth Element Power and Wood Type Power cultivated by the Giant Spirit Mantis could be used by the human-faced spider.    

The fate awaiting the Giant Spirit Mantis was the same as Lu Jingjing's. It would be devoured by the human-faced spider and become a stepping stone on its path of cultivation.    

Of course, this was after the second step of the Ying Tian Sect's infiltration plan.    

The second step of the plan was naturally to use the identity of the Tang Sect's Ancestor, the Giant Spirit Mantis, to "recognize" the elder of Ying Tian Sect's Outer Door, and to send his own "biological son" into the Ying Tian Sect to become an Outer Door disciple.    

After success, the Giant Spirit Mantis' mission would be completed. The human-faced spider would devour it and personally play the role of the "Tang Sect Ancestor's biological son" to officially infiltrate the Ying Tian Sect's Outer Door.    

Of course it was impossible to enter the Internal Portal.    

The screening of the Internal Portal disciples was extremely strict.    

Therefore, the third step of the plan began.    

Lu Jingjing would use the identity of Old Demon Black Wind's adopted sister, "Blue Rainbow," to encourage Old Demon Black Wind to lend a helping hand to the human-faced spider, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in Ying Tian Sect and befriend a few of the Ying Tian Sect's Internal Portal disciples.    

Then, the human-faced spider will use the Giant Spirit Mantis' body possession technique to plant a few "human-faced spider eggs" in the dantians of a few Internal Portal disciples of Ying Tian Sect, and then choose one of them to possess. It will then become an Internal Portal disciple in one go.    

Finally, the ultimate plan of the human-faced spider was to possess Gu Xuan's disciple, Song Xiaodai, and use Song Xiaodai's identity to assassinate Mo Jingyun, Li Xieyun, and become the next successor of the Sect Master of Ying Tian Sect.    

Such a plan was absurd.    

Gu Xuan believed that any intelligent creature would not think that such an absurd plan would succeed.    

And even possess his own disciple, Song Xiaodai?    

Song Xiaodai was indeed a little stupid, but even if he was ten times more stupid, he was not someone that a mere human-faced spider like you could take over!    

Not to mention, the prerequisite for possessing Song Xiaodai was to first possess an Internal Portal disciple who could come into contact with Song Xiaodai.    

The disciples of the Internal Portal were already qualified to meet the many core and high-level disciples of Ying Tian Sect. Occasionally, Mo Jingyun, Li Xieyun, and Saint Qiongpa would feel a sudden impulse to teach the disciples of the Internal Portal.    

Which of these people couldn't tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the Internal Portal disciple's dantian?    

Of course, as long as the plan was carried out quickly enough, that unlucky disciple of the Internal Portal might not necessarily meet the core members of the Ying Tian Sect.    

However, every step of the human-faced spider's plan would take at least a hundred years.    

In a hundred years, how unlucky would that Internal Portal disciple be to not even be able to see the many core higher-ups of Ying Tian Sect?    

In short, Ying Tian Sect's infiltration plan of the human-faced spider was more of a joke than a plan.    

It was not bad to make people laugh.    

However, both the human-faced spider and Lu Jingjing were following the plan meticulously.    

This made Gu Xuan a little confused.    

Could it be that Lu Jingjing was so stupid that she could not be saved? She didn't have any plans for herself, but was willing to be the human-faced spider's chess piece?    

Otherwise, with her intelligence, how could she believe that such an absurd plan could succeed?    

Gu Xuan frowned. He released the Power of The Soul and scanned the human-faced spider's body. His frown deepened.    

Lu Jingjing obviously had her own plans. She wasn't that brainless.    

"Then, one last question. Are you a voodoo beast or not?    

I have seen through you thoroughly, but I can't even be sure.    

If you are, how could a voodoo beast be so weak?    

You can't be serious, right? You have the blood essence of a beast, the power of a curse, and the negative energy that only beasts can gather in your body. Once it's fully developed, you can become ten times stronger."    

Gu Xuan's face was full of curiosity.    

The human-faced spider looked at Gu Xuan suspiciously.    

"Once the negative energy in my body is fully developed, my strength will increase by ten times? How is that possible?    

I know. Are you testing me?    

Master, I don't mind telling you the truth. I am not a beast.    

I just merged half of the beast's body by chance.    

The other half of the beast was also in the form of a spider, and it looked similar to me. It was restricted by an expert that specialized in the Dao of Curses.    

Although I merged with the beast, I wasn't able to break through the curse and was trapped in the Five Absolutes Hell.    

It was an outer space of the Burning Heaven Realm, and only when Lu Jingjing came with the Five Extinction Palm did she let me out. "    

The spider's attitude, eyes, and tone of voice were all sincere as it recalled the past.    

It was as if the Gu Xuan in front of it was no longer an enemy who controlled its life and death, but a respected senior.    

It was obvious that he had been extremely humble in order to survive.    

Gu Xuan rested his chin on his hand and pondered.    

There was a lot of information in this.    

"My lord, will you... will you kill me?"    

Seeing that Gu Xuan didn't say anything, the spider finally mustered up its courage and asked nervously.    

A smile appeared on Gu Xuan's face.    

He shook his head. "Of course I won't kill you."    

Because he didn't need to.    

The human-faced spider wouldn't survive.    

From the moment it devoured Lu Jingjing, it was destined to die!    

The human-faced spider did not know this. When it heard Gu Xuan say that he would not kill it, its eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise.    

It knelt down on all eight legs at the same time, wanting to kowtow to Gu Xuan and thank him.    

However, as soon as it knelt down and kowtowed halfway, it stopped moving.    

"Eight Limbs Curse, Bind!"    

Lu Jingjing's voice exploded from within the human-faced spider's body!
