Chapter 503 Incorporation
Chapter 503 Incorporation
Li Shuanghua and Wu Jiuzi were both shocked.
They had seen with their own eyes the blue-winged insects controlled by Nan Xi. They could even devour array patterns. It seemed that there was nothing in the world that they could not eat!
Some people also questioned: "There are so many monsters in the Shiwan Mountains, how can we prove that they didn't do it?"
Jiang Li smiled and said, "First of all, these thirty-four corpses were collected by the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Have you ever seen monsters harming people and collecting corpses?"
Everyone thought so too. If these disciples were killed by monsters, their bodies would have been destroyed long ago. Why would anyone be so kind as to collect their bodies?
"Secondly, the bodies of these disciples were all examined personally by Ghost Doctor Valley Master Shen, and Lushan Sect Master Lin witnessed the entire process. You can trust these two, right?"
The leaders all nodded: "Of course we can trust him."
Not to mention Lin Xuan, just the title of the Ghost Doctor Valley Master was enough for them to believe in him.
He is the head of Longmen Medical Bureau and also the Minister of Guanglu Temple, a third-rank official of the imperial court!
"Third," Jiang Li said slowly, "I will reveal a royal secret to you."
When everyone heard that it was "royal secrets", they all pricked up their ears.
"Princess Ruili, who was sent by Pagan Kingdom for marriage, and a concubine to be selected were once bewitched by the former ancestor of the Qinglian Sect, who is now the leader of the Jiulian Sect, Nan Xi. In the end, they were sucked dry of blood by the poisonous insects and died!"
"The way they died was exactly the same as those thirty-four disciples!"
Everyone present changed color.
"The autopsy record for that day is here, and I'll show it to you."
At this time, four guards Qingfeng Mingyue escorted Shen Muchun into the main hall.
He took out some official documents and handed them to Zhang Tianshi first.
Zhang Tianshi took them and looked at them. He found that two of them were stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and dated March this year.
The remaining copies were recent autopsy records, stamped with Shen Muchun's seal.
Several records, exactly the same conclusion!
Zhang Tianshi was silent and passed it to the leaders for review.
After everyone saw it, their faces turned heavy. The evidence was conclusive, so what else was there to doubt?
Li Shuanghua gnashed his teeth and regretted his decision: "It was us who let the wolf in and harmed these disciples!"
Wu Jiuzi's face was distorted: "I will kill this thief with my own hands and avenge my disciples!"
Someone angrily said, "Those poisonous insects of his are actually fed with human blood? Such an evil cultivator must be killed by everyone!"
Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Not only does the Gu worm want to suck blood, but fellow Taoists, do you know where Chen Lie's soul has gone?"
Everyone was stunned. Yes, Xuan Ling used the "substitute Gu" to occupy Chen Lie's body. Now the bodies of both of them are here. The Gu worm that Xuan Ling's soul was possessed by was killed by Duke Dingguo, so where is Chen Lie's soul?
Lin Xuan's eyes were red, and he said bitterly: "Junior Brother Chen Lie's soul was eaten by that evil cultivator Nan Xi!"
Everyone present was shocked.
Eating human souls is more terrifying than sucking human blood, okay?
After the physical body dies, the soul can be reincarnated and reborn as a human being.
When the soul is gone, it disappears completely from this world!
Jiang Li said word by word: "The real identity of Nan Xi is the wanted rebel king Nangong Xihe by the court, but the one who feeds on his soul is the monster that occupies his body - the soul-sucking insect!"
"Soul-catching insect?"
"What is this?"
"What kind of monster is this?"
When the leaders heard the name "soul-catching insect", they all showed fear and asked questions one after another.
"This monster comes from another world..."
Jiang Li then told them the origin of the soul-sucking insect one by one.
When everyone heard that it was a demon from outer space with great magical powers, they were all shocked.
"This monster feeds on spirits and souls, and prefers souls with magical powers and spiritual energy. Everyone here, including my husband and I, are the monster's targets!"
Jiang Li said calmly.
This sentence caused an uproar in the audience.
It turns out that I am also the target of that monster's desire!
At that moment, everyone felt insecure and was sweating profusely.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t the human world become a breeding ground for those monsters?
Whenever he's hungry, he can just grab one and eat it!
Wu Jiuzi was worried: "I wonder if the prince has any method to restrain the monster?"
Jiang Li said: "Everyone, don't worry too much. When the monster came to this world, its body was struck by lightning and turned into slag. Now only its residual soul is left, and it has to live in the human body."
"He is also limited by the laws of nature in this world and cannot display his true strength. He can only attach himself to Nan Xi and plot some schemes. Everyone should just treat him as an evil cultivator."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Tianshi said sternly: "This is related to the safety of the world. We, the disciples of the Taoist sect, must not stay out of it. We must kill this monster and protect the peace of the people!"
"Master Tianshi is right!" Everyone responded.
Li Shuanghua asked, "I wonder what your Majesty's plan is?"
It turns out that there is a mystery behind the Zhongyuan ceremony arranged by Zhang Tianshi. Needless to say, it was naturally instructed by Prince Jing'an.
Jiang Li then told him her arrangements for the "Tianji Camp" one by one.
"Whether it's everyone present or those mountain elves and wild monsters, they are all coveted by the soul-sucking insects."
"For our own sake and for the sake of all people in the world, I hope that you can put aside your prejudices, unite against the common enemy, join the Tianji Camp, and fight against the monster together."
Li Shuanghua was the first to stand up: "Qingcheng Sect is willing to follow the prince!"
Wu Jiuzi also said: "The Maoshan Sect has always taken slaying demons and eliminating evil as its mission, so we should follow the prince's lead!"
All the leaders also expressed their willingness to join the Tianji Camp and obey the orders of Prince Jing'an.
Life is at stake, no one wants to become that monster's meal!
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Great! With the help of fellow Taoists, we will definitely be able to kill that monster and bring peace to the world!"
At this time, Zhang Tianshi frowned and said, "The monster's Gu technique is so superb that even people with profound Taoist skills like Sect Leader Lin, Sect Leader Li, and Taoist Fellow Wu Jiuzi were planted with Gu insects by him without knowing it. It is really hard to guard against!"
Li Shuanghua and Wu Jiuzi couldn't help but feel extremely scared when they thought of the severe pain in their chests just now. If Duke Dingguo had acted slower, they would have died of the poison like Qiu Mingzi!
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any good ideas?" Li Shuanghua asked humbly.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "Does anyone remember the piece I just played?"
The fake Chen Lie refused to admit that he was Xuan Ling Zhenren, so Jiang Li took out the jade flute and played a piece of music with strange rhythm, which drew out the "substitute Gu" in the fake Chen Lie's body.
At that time, everyone also felt that their souls were about to leave their bodies!
Wu Jiuzi was horrified: "But can it have the effect of attracting souls?"
Jiang Li nodded and smiled, "I learned this from the mermaids. I heard from Sect Leader Lin that Nan Xi can use music to control the Gu worms, so I wondered if we can also use music to control the Gu worms in reverse."
"I once visited the Liuli City of the mermaids in the South China Sea and heard the mermaids' songs with my own ears. Legend has it that the mermaids' songs can confuse travelers on the sea and lead them to the deep sea. When I listened to their songs, I found that there was a strange rhythm in them that could confuse people's hearts and seduce their minds."
"So, I humbly asked the King of Mermaids for advice and learned this rhythm. I tried it today and it really works!"
Jiang Li smiled slightly, "All the fellow Taoists who join the Tianji Camp are my comrades. I am willing to teach you this Soul-Guiding Song!"
The "Soul-Guiding Song" that can lure out the poisonous insect will become the sect's secret no matter which sect it belongs to!
She is actually willing to teach everyone for free?
All the sect leaders were very excited. With this kind of magic, they were naturally not afraid of poisonous insects!
They were all convinced and knelt on the ground: "We are willing to follow Your Majesty and will only follow Your Majesty's lead!"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Li stood up and said with a smile, "You are all brothers from the Tianji Camp, no need to be polite."
"After today's ceremony, I will stay here for two days and teach you the Soul-Guiding Song."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the sect leaders thanked him in unison, feeling extremely excited.
Xie Changan, however, said sourly through the heart contract: "Little Li slave, when did you learn this song from Mingzhu? How come I don't know it?"
Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "Jealous guy, I wasn't idle when you were on the expedition to the Western Regions. Of course I met Mingzhu when I reorganized the Tianji Camp. What, do you have an objection?"
Besides, Mingzhu only has half a human form, she is not a human!
Why is he jealous?
Xie Changan snorted: "I haven't forgotten that little Jin."
Xiao Jin is the incarnation of a soul-sucking insect cultivator. He claims to be a demon cultivator. He falls in love with Jiang Li at first sight and proposes to her as soon as they meet.
How could he know whether the mermaid would set her sights on her little cat slave?
Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the demon cultivators don't dare to attack the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect."
The two of them followed Zhang Tianshi and the other masters out of the main hall while whispering to each other.
The auspicious time has arrived, the Zhongyuan Festival is about to begin!
