Speeding all the way.

Ye Guichen took less than ten minutes to charge his way back to the Phoenix Pavilion.

"Quick, take him and follow me inside!" Ye Guichen ordered as he charged into the villa.

The security guards initially wanted to stop him, but seeing it was Ye Guichen, although puzzled, they did not ask any questions.

Feng Guoguo dragged Wang Muyi and quickly followed into the villa.

"Daoist Zhang, come quickly!" Ye Guichen shouted as he rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a glass bottle that was used for milk, quickly opened the lid, poured out the milk, and then put the mouth of the bottle against his wound from Wang Muyi's bite.

With a thought, Ye Guichen withdrew his mystical energy.

The seven-colored snake that had entered Ye Guichen's body had long wanted to leave, and seeing that the thing restraining it had disappeared, it darted out immediately, right into the bottle.

Ye Guichen quickly sealed the lid.

When he returned to the living room, Zhang Chongchen was already descending from the upstairs.

Zhang Changhe had already woken up, and Zhang Chongchen initially wanted to thank Ye Guichen, but his gaze quickly landed on Wang Muyi.

Especially seeing Wang Muyi's appearance, Zhang Chongchen's expression changed drastically: "This, is he poisoned by a Gu insect?"

Wang Muyi looked extremely miserable; besides bleeding from his orifices, his body quickly shrank like a deflated balloon.

In just over ten minutes, he had become so thin that only his skin clung to his bones.

However, Wang Muyi seemed to have regained consciousness. Seeing Ye Guichen, he raised his hand with difficulty and weakly said, "Save me, save me! Please, save me!"

Ye Guichen ignored Wang Muyi.

In this situation, Wang Muyi was already a dead man.

His body had long been overdrawn, his potential completely exhausted. Even a god couldn't save him.

Zhang Chongchen, regardless of Wang Muyi's filthy state, went up to grab Wang Muyi's wrist and checked his eyes.

His expression grew even more grim.

Splurt!

Splurt!

At the same time, Wang Muyi's skin seemed to explode, making several popping sounds, but no blood flowed out.

It was evident that the blood inside Wang Muyi had already drained dry.

In less than a minute, Wang Muyi's last breath of life vanished. His head tilted, and he died on the spot.

The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy.

Feng Guoguo's throat moved a couple of times: "Mr. Ye, what exactly is going on?"

Ye Guichen stared at Wang Muyi, frowning: "I'm not sure what happened, so I wanted Daoist Zhang to have a look. Now it seems, this guy was indeed poisoned by a Gu insect."

Saying this, Ye Guichen pushed the milk bottle in front of Zhang Chongchen: "Daoist Zhang, take a look at this."

Zhang Chongchen, having studied Taoism, had considerable expertise in dealing with the Witch Sect.

Regarding the Gu worms and toxins, Zhang Chongchen was much more knowledgeable than Ye Guichen.

After a strange glance at Ye Guichen, Zhang Chongchen looked into the bottle.

Seeing this, Zhang Chongchen's pupils contracted sharply: "Mr. Ye, where did this come from?"

Ye Guichen rolled up his sleeve, pointing at his own wound and then at Wang Muyi's corpse: "After he bit me, it entered my body."

"What?" Zhang Chongchen looked at Ye Guichen in disbelief: "Mr. Ye, you, you're not joking? This clearly is a Gu worm raised in the Miao regions. Although I can't tell what kind it is right now, it's certainly no small matter. Once it enters the body, unless the person who set the Gu dies, the worm is incredibly hard to remove. How did you manage it?"

No wonder Zhang Chongchen was shocked.

The power of Gu worms lies in their secrecy and the difficulty of dealing with them.

While advanced Taoist techniques might be able to expel Gu worms, such instances were rare.

Once inside, Gu worms quickly take control of the human heart. Even if you could remove them, it would damage the heart.

Once the heart is damaged, a person cannot survive.

But apart from the wound on Ye Guichen's arm, there was not the slightest anomaly.

It was simply unbelievable.

Ye Guichen gave a bitter smile, changing the topic: "Are you sure this is a Gu worm?"

Zhang Chongchen had to put aside his doubts and nodded heavily: "Yes! This is definitely a Gu worm, and it should be a highly transmissible one. If I'm not mistaken, once this worm is released, it can only survive in a human body. If it leaves a human host, it will die soon."

Pointing at Wang Muyi: "Judging by his condition, he's been poisoned for less than a day. But because the Gu worm rapidly absorbed his essence, he died from the exertion. If I'm right, this Gu worm needs to keep transferring between human bodies to survive. Fortunately, Mr. Ye, you contained the worm. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

As he spoke, the Gu worm in the milk bottle began to frantically hit the sides, and soon with a splurt, it exploded into a pool of blood.

Ye Guichen confirmed his suspicions. After personally checking Wang Muyi's body, he instructed Feng Guoguo to find a place to dispose of Wang Muyi's corpse.

While Feng Guoguo dealt with Wang Muyi's body, Zhang Chongchen pulled Ye Guichen aside, his expression grave: "Mr. Ye, I've informed my sect about the situation here. It seems this matter is more complicated than we thought. They instructed me to eliminate the water monkey in the artificial lake within three days, and find out the mastermind. Though I have the responsibility to banish demons, I'm currently at a loss and hope for your assistance..."

Zhang Chongchen was hesitant, but Ye Guichen understood his meaning, that he was asking for help.

Ye Guichen smiled: "Daoist Zhang, no need to be polite. If convenient, could you call Old Man Zhang Chonglou? I have a few questions for him."

"You know my master?" Zhang Chongchen was shocked.

Ye Guichen nodded: "You could say that."

"Okay, I'll call now!" Though unsure how Ye Guichen knew Zhang Chonglou, this was undoubtedly good news for him.

If Zhang Chonglou intervened, with Ye Guichen's skills, killing the water monkey in three days was possible.

Quickly, Zhang Chongchen dialed the number and handed the phone to Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen, in a carefree manner, grinned: "Old Man Zhang, how are you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chongchen nearly stumbled.

Zhang Chonglou, the master of Heavenly Master Tao, one of the top figures in Taoism.

With immense respect and status, even the secular elite revered him.

But Ye Guichen just called him Old Man.

If he didn't know it was Zhang Chonglou on the other end, Zhang Chongchen would think either he or Ye Guichen had lost their minds.

Who knows what Ye Guichen said, but shortly after, he handed the phone back to Zhang Chongchen.

Confused, Zhang Chongchen took the phone and respectfully said: "Master?"

An excited voice came from the other end, clearly thrilled: "Haha, Xiao Qi, listen up. From now on, follow that brat Ye Guichen! Whatever doubts he has, even if he asks about our secret techniques, you must answer! Remember my words, after sorting out Jinling, by any means necessary, bring him back. Fail, and I'll hold you accountable!"
