Shi Feiyang influenced the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu's awareness through the Cave Spirit Zither, causing them to reduce much of their violent and ferocious nature.
The Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu were connected in spirit with the Green Robe Ancestor, and when they were attacked, the Green Robe Ancestor was immediately affected too with zither tones emerging and echoing in his mind.
This old demon had never encountered such a situation before and instantly let out a strange cry, hastily emitting several bursts of green light.
On the surface of the myriad golden stars, eerie green flames appeared instantly, and soon the wing-flapping frequency returned to normal, the buzzing sound resuming.
Gu worms, after all, were different from ordinary demon beasts and insects, being managed by someone behind the scenes, perpetually implementing the master's will with the support of the master's mana, and were extremely difficult to tame.
Shi Feiyang played the Cave Spirit Zither, turning the melody into the "Funeral Flower Song," which was slower than before, each line drawn out with elongated final notes, while the high notes were ethereally melodious, reaching the skies.
In an instant, the atmosphere between heaven and earth drastically changed:
Flowers wither, flowers fly, flowers fill the sky, who pities when the red fades, the fragrance ends? How long can vibrant beauty last, soon scattered beyond recovery.
Blade winds, frost swords, press severely; sprinkled over bare branches, bloodstained traces seen. After three springs, all fragrances vanish; flowers fall, man perishes, both unknown.
...
A large number of broken petals were twisted, tossed, or raised by the sound waves, scattering directly towards the high sky, thousands of feet up.
The Green Robe Ancestor eyed Ni Fangxian's Nascent Soul with desire, eager to snatch it to refine the Hundred Poison Immortal Slaying Sword, controlling the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu to pursue and kill Ni Fangxian. Throughout, the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu continually were influenced by the zither tones, their wing-flapping frequency decreasing again. Not only them but even the Green Robe Ancestor himself was affected by the graceful tones in his mind, feeling despondent, starting to harbor thoughts of utter despair.
Ni Fangxian, hidden among a myriad of flowers, watched the colorful petals chaotically thrown about in the sky, also shaken by the zither music, she momentarily stood there stunned.
The Green Robe Ancestor continually emitted green light, enhancing the true qi of the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, trying to energize them, but under the zither tones, the Gu worms again and again grew listless.
The two engaged in a duel from afar, stalemating roughly for the duration of a meal when Shi Feiyang sensed it was almost time; the Golden Silkworm Gu had more or less descended into a state of confusion.
He had Bai Guanhong sit cross-legged in advance, placing a Jade Bowl in front of him, and at this moment, instructed him to release a substantial amount of fresh blood.
He plucked the zither strings, and the fresh blood in the bowl jumped due to the vibrations, droplets of water leaping several feet high into the air; he formed hand seals with his left hand and pointed forward, the blood droplets instantly transforming into blood talismans, then fluttering in the wind and diminishing, turning into wisps of blood energy among the myriad petals in the sky, floating towards the blue heavens.
He had been forcibly paired by the Green Robe Ancestor with the Gu Mother, which then bore a large quantity of Golden Silkworm Gu.
The Green Robe Ancestor used various poisons to cultivate many breeds, but only those descended from Bai Guanhong were the strongest and most intelligent, bestialized to the owner's intent, and after nurturing, had the strongest toxicity, bodies as tough as steel, able to chew through metal, and feared neither water nor fire nor wind nor thunder... The Green Robe Ancestor was particularly fond of them; hence, he brought this group this time.
Strictly speaking, Bai Guanhong was the father of this group of Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu!
Shi Feiyang used his blood in the casting to attract these Evil Gu; if in a lucid state, they would be influenced by the Green Robe Ancestor's will, and it wouldn't have succeeded.
Now their consciousness, including the consciousness attached by the Green Robe Ancestor to their bodies, was shaken by the zither music into a mess, the Green Robe Ancestor on that side was experiencing a splitting headache, as though thousands of wounds had opened in his mind, and it felt as if over ten thousand firecrackers were constantly exploding inside his brain, weakening their control significantly.
The Gu worms, smelling their father's essence, promptly flew down in a daze under the secret control of Shi Feiyang's Immortal Law—quite unlike before; no longer fierce, their speed also slowed down, drawing near to Bai Guanhong, swirling around him affectionately, like children yearning for their father, behaving affectionately, like children bullied outside, returning to seek their father's protection and comfort.
Shi Feiyang pointed, and the scenery before him suddenly changed, a large cauldron materializing out of nowhere, its mouth more than three zhang wide, with the Ding Cover suspended above, and Bai Guanhong was actually sitting inside it, most of the Golden Silkworm Gu had already flown into the cauldron, with just a few left outside. Shi Feiyang played the zither strings again, coordinating with the power of Yu Ding to draw them all into it.
The Green Robe Ancestor, shocked by the zither music, felt buzzing in his head, his vision obscured by myriad falling petals below, Ni Fangxian's Array was extraordinarily miraculous, he could only see fragmented images, initially thinking that once the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu were refined, they would be unmatched in the world, somewhat complacent in his heart, but by the time he realized the situation was bad and tried to use a spell to recall the Gu, it was too late!
Shi Feiyang didn't release Bai Guanhong, directly letting the Ding Cover fall, isolating the internal and external spaces.
Those Golden Silkworm Gus lost contact with the Green Robe Ancestor and immediately began to thrash about wildly, buzzing as they darted erratically here and there, some even throwing themselves onto Bai Guanhong and biting him chaotically.
Bai Guanhong, having received prior instructions from Shi Feiyang, did not fight back but instead used his own blood to form Demon Talismans that he struck onto each of the Silkworm Gus.
Indeed, these Hundred Poison Golden Silkworms could be considered the most formidable Gu worms in the Shushan World; it would be a pity to kill all of them. Thus, Shi Feiyang had passed on some Demon Path Techniques to him, teaching him to use the father-son relationship between himself and the Gu worms to cast spells and subdue them.
Outside, the Green Robe Ancestor, having lost contact with the Golden Silkworm Gus, was also extremely erratic, emitting beast-like roars from his throat, and then spraying Essence Blood continuously, casting spells in attempt to summon them, but to no avail.
Although this monster was human-shaped, his nature was beastly. He usually ate human hearts raw and drank human blood. Now, his ferocity was triggered. His birdlike claws constantly opened and clenched tightly, repeatedly soaring amidst the green clouds.
Knowing there were ambushes below, he feared it would be dangerous to charge directly down, but losing the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworms, one of his proudest creations, in such a bewildering manner filled him with both heartache and anger.
Finally, he decided to go down directly because he had the Mysterious Yin Pearl. With this treasure, he was essentially granted an extra life.
Roaring in fury, the Green Robe Ancestor forcefully descended wrapped in green clouds several acres in size, pressing down on the wildly scattering and fluttering petals below, causing them to shatter and wither, sinking to the depths of the valley.
Ni Fangxian, wielding his horsetail whisk, stirred the ground where the withered and broken flower petals were nourished by the Array's Essence Energy, quickly regrowing and regenerating. Those that had turned to ash were also reborn from the ashes, and in a mere moment, they bloomed anew as if spring had just arrived, then soared back into the sky.
A multitude of petals surrounded the green clouds. The Green Robe Ancestor, amidst conflicts, radiated a mass of green light. Outside the green light was green fire, and beyond the green fire, green clouds—three layers in total, continuously charring and destroying the petals.
Ni Fangxian, holding the horsetail whisk in his right hand and gesturing with his left hand, controlled his sword desperately upwards, shouting, "How dare you run amok here, you ugly ghost! Today, I'll show you what 'death' means!"
With a roar, the Green Robe Ancestor used the Mysterious Yin Pearl to transform into a giant, sky-covering monstrous hand, radiating lush green light, and grasped towards Ni Fangxian.
At that moment, Shi Feiyang released the Three Yangs One Qi Sword and joined from behind, flanking the Green Robe Ancestor, who remained undaunted. With one hand, he flew back and forth, seizing the two men's Flying Swords and also pulled out a Six Yang Wind-Setting Banner, named for stabilizing the wind, yet it could summon it; a gentle shake summoned a vast current of somber wind. Within the black wind, countless ghastly skulls flew chaotically, emitting screams and howls.
Truly fierce as the Sect Hierarch of the Southern Demon Cult, even the collective force of Shi Feiyang's and Ni Fangxian's four Flying Swords, a horsetail whisk, plus three bursts of Purple and Blue Duoluo Fire still couldn't gain the upper hand.
Shi Feiyang spit out Essence Energy, igniting the three Purple And Blue Divine Flames to full brilliance. Any demonic mists that approached were instantly dispelled. The green light, green fire, and green clouds from the Green Robe Ancestor's side were all obliterated; only the giant hand transformed from the Mysterious Yin Pearl repeatedly tried to capture and extinguish the Divine Flames but was instead scorched by the Divine Fire, suffering significant damage to its Primordial Spirit. However, the Divine Fire was also slapped away by the giant hand, unable to get close.
Ni Fangxian, having calculated in advance, knew that letting the Green Robe Ancestor escape would lead to endless future troubles and was determined to kill him here and then, thus he was constantly looking for an opportunity for a lethal blow.
At this moment, Shi Feiyang took the offensive, swordsmanship growing fiercer and fiercer. The Green Robe Ancestor focused most of his strength on countering him, allowing Ni Fangxian at the rear to start swinging the horsetail whisk. He first extended the whisk's fibers into a vast net to cover the sky. Then, raising his hand, he fired over a hundred points of golden light which, upon reaching the sky, transformed into numerous bolts of Taiyin Divine Thunder, truly the most authentic form.
Ni Fangxian's thousand years of cultivation made the Taiyin Divine Thunder extraordinary. Although Tian Can had achieved Perfection in his cultivation and acquired the Heavenly Immortal Position, only Ascension remained for him, his years of cultivation were far less than Ni Fangxian's. Comparing the power of their Taiyin Divine Thunder, the two were evenly matched, yet Ni Fangxian launched over a hundred bolts, each with tremendous power.
"Boom, boom, boom..." With a hundred thunders firing simultaneously, golden light instantly turned the valley into what seemed like a place forged from gold, and every petal in the air turned into a Golden Flower.
The Golden Light Thunder stretched for a hundred feet, all striking towards the Green Robe Ancestor.
Seeing the formidable power, the Green Robe Ancestor was further incited to unleash his ferocious nature, roaring as he tried to catch them with the sky-covering giant hand.
As a massive amount of Gold Thunder struck the green giant hand, the Green Robe Ancestor was about to extinguish the lightning in his palm when suddenly his expression greatly changed, cursing only, "Damn wench," as the light from the giant hand dimmed and eventually dissipated.
A Mysterious Yin Pearl, the size of a teacup's mouth, fell from the sky, with a twisted crack running through it from top to bottom.
The Green Robe Ancestor's vision blurred as he almost fell from the green clouds!
Ni Fangxian, having hidden his Mountain Treasure among the hundred or so Taiyin Divine Thunders, suddenly sent them out, cracking the Mysterious Yin Pearl and disabling the Green Robe Ancestor's Second Primordial Spirit.
Knowing they needed to use this momentum to thoroughly eliminate this monster, they released their Flying Sword Magical Treasures from the south and north simultaneously, aiming to reduce the Green Robe Ancestor to ashes.
The Green Robe Ancestor spat blood onto the Six Yang Wind-Setting Banner, and immediately large swirls of green fire blazed up on it. He violently tore his bird-like claws to the left and right, splitting them into two fireballs aimed at both men. In an instant, somber winds roared, evil spirits roamed, and the fierce ghosts nurtured within the banner for years screamed as they rushed towards the two men.
Next, he reached into the green clouds beneath his feet and pulled up two living people.
