Shi Longgu had entered the Five Poison Sect's Main Altar five consecutive times, stealthily or forcefully, grabbing and taking as she pleased. Quite a few of the Fairy's disciples and grand-disciples met their ends at her hands, which deeply seeded hatred and loathing for that vile wench in their hearts.

Ever since she was wounded by the Mysterious Lady Needle last time, she had suffered a great deal of pain. The memory made her teeth itch with irritation.

She had specially refined two Magical Treasures to be used in conjunction with her "Invisible Gu" specifically to deal with Shi Longgu. Now that they were finally facing each other, she released the Gu Worms mingled within the forked flames without delay.

Shi Longgu had refined many sets of Flying Needles, also specifically for dealing with the Fairy. Needles have a special ability to restrain Gu Worms, and she had painfully mastered the technique of the Double Dragon Scissors passed down by her mother, the Golden Needle Saint Mother, to sever the Fairy's Golden Silk Camphor threads.

She couldn't see the "Invisible Gu," but Bai Guanhong could "see" them. His eyes were different from those of humans, and he had a special sensitivity to Gu Worms.

Upon noticing the emergence of the "Invisible Gu," he immediately raised his hand and collected the Invisible Gu.

This was the Fairy's trump card against Shi Longgu, and seeing it effortlessly taken away by him, she was so furious that she almost crushed her own teeth, "I'm going all out against you!"

She took a deep breath on Xun Land and then exhaled a stream of Poison Smoke from her mouth.

The Poison Smoke was released with a strong blast of wind from her mouth, growing more powerful as her mouth opened wider, eventually splitting her jaw nearly in half, large enough to swallow a person's head.

In the midst of this deadly toxic smoke and windstorm, numerous Gu Worms emerged – centipedes with flapping wings, writhing flying Poisonous Snakes, spiders squirting sticky threads, toads engulfing clouds and emitting mists...

And then there were various other Poison Insects, unnamable by people, that densely poured out of her mouth.

In addition, there were Silkworms of various colors – golden yellow, emerald green, crimson red, gray-brown... They bored their way out from her nostrils, ears, and even her eyes!

She had stored a large number of poisonous insect eggs inside her body, collecting any good Poison Insects she encountered and housing them within herself. The best Five Poisons were hidden within the five viscera – heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, while infantile Golden Silkworms and Green Worms were hidden in the brain, and the rest scattered across muscles, bones, flesh, and skin... In short, her entire body was filled with insect eggs.

She carried these insect eggs wherever she went, making them extremely convenient for everyday use. The collection she had amassed over hundreds of years was the finest and of the highest quality in the world.

Now, in a life-or-death struggle, she stirred her entire body's Essence Blood to massively hatch these insect eggs and then ejected them.

The dense swarm of insects was carried by the whirlwind, scattering and flying all over the place.

Above Tiandu Peak, the sky was thick with Poison Clouds, and Evil Gu insects flew chaotically, devouring any fresh flesh they encountered, whether animal or otherwise, gnawing it to nothingness!

Most of the people below were Jianghu martial artists, and except for a few of the most experienced, no one had seen, let alone heard of, such a phenomenon.

Panic ensued, and people ran in terror.

Even the disciples from sects like Emei and Qingcheng were thrown into disorder.

Shi Feiyang remained seated steadily, looking up at the rampaging Poison Smoke and Poison Worms in the sky.

He was somewhat surprised; he hadn't anticipated Gu Worms could be refined to such an extent!

He decided to wait and see Bai Guanhong's technique first. If he could handle it, there would be no need for Feiyang to take action; if not, then he would step in.

Today's gathering at Yellow Mountain was different from the last. The previous time was a contest for the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, but this time it was to celebrate his door-opening ceremony. He had invited everyone, and as long as they weren't intentionally causing trouble, they were his guests regardless of whether he had invited them personally.

He couldn't allow a guest to be injured or even die here!

Bai Guanhong watched the Fairy in the wind, his eyes glowing with fervent light.

He had also thought about using humans as vessels for cultivating Gu Worms.

But he knew Shi Feiyang wouldn't allow him to do so. If he really did it, Feiyang would surely take action against him...

Yet today, he saw someone voluntarily using their body to cultivate Gu Worms!

It was truly a rarity in this world!

He decided to take this woman back to Divine Dragon Island for proper nurturing. In the future, she would surely be able to cultivate the most powerful and formidable Divine Gu using her body!

With a wave of Bai Guanhong's hand, he released a hundred thousand Hundred Poison Golden Worm Gu.

After years of nurturing and continuous optimization of breeding, his Golden Silkworm Gu were even more formidable than those of the Green Robe Ancestor's in his day!

Although the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu was the Green Robe Ancestor's signature technique, it wasn't exclusive. In terms of refining Gu, both the Fairy and Bai Guanhong had surpassed him in professionalism.

As for those later refined by Xin Chenzi, they were even less impressive.

Now, if one were to talk about the purity of Sacrificial Refinement of Golden Silkworm Gu, the Fairy would be unmatched. But in terms of the power of the refined Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, no one could surpass Bai Guanhong.

The Green Robe Ancestor's Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu were hybridized from the Golden Silkworm and Heavenly Scorpion, lacking the ability to reproduce, requiring a fresh combination of Golden Silkworm and Heavenly Scorpion for every cultivation.

In contrast, Bai Guanhong's Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu were capable of stable breeding of offspring, and occasionally mutated variant species would appear.

As soon as the hundred thousand Golden Silkworm Gus appeared, they immediately transformed into a sky-full of golden stars, dazzling to the extreme. Yet, the buzzing sound of their flapping wings was extremely horrifying.

The Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu is the king of all Gus. If the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy's three thousand Golden Silkworm Gus were still around, a one-on-one battle would still be a challenge for her, just barely manageable. Now that the Golden Silkworm Gus had been taken away, the remaining centipedes and spiders didn't stand a chance against the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu.

The hundred thousand golden stars, like a plague of locusts, captured other Gus, rapidly biting and devouring them, even crunching and swallowing their bones!

The Heavenly Silkworm Fairy was greatly startled and hurriedly tried to catch the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu with a Treasure Box made from golden silk. However, Shi Longgu had already shredded it to pieces with her Double Dragon Scissors, and the few remaining pieces she managed to recall were not enough to threaten the Hundred Poison Golden Silkworm Gu, not even for a moment.

Bai Guanhong then released three Pattern Spiders.

The Pattern Spiders could nurture Qiantian fire essence beads, and Bai Guanhong's three Pattern Spiders had a unique refinement method; each carried a Wind Stabilizing Pearl in its belly.

Already possessing divine skills, the three spiders could grow or shrink, fly to the sky or burrow into the earth. At this moment, they flew in the sky, each spitting out a dazzling Treasure Bead that calmed the winds of heaven and earth.

With the wind stilled, thick poison smoke was all that remained.

The three spiders opened their mouths and sucked forcefully, pulling the poison smoke that enshrouded everyone's heads into their mouths like a whale gulping water.

The only recourse left for the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy was to use her brain to nurture some more young Golden, Green Worm, and Fire Silkworms, but they were still in their youth and had limited power. Shi Longgu pricked many to death with her Mysterious Lady Needle, and the rest were captured by the Golden Spiders released by Bai Guanhong.

The Golden Spider was also a nemesis of various Gus, spraying out hundreds of strands of spider silk, each strand accurately entangling a Silkworm Gu, forcibly taking it away.

It was only then that the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy realized the severity of her situation; her skill in Gu refining was matched by her opponents, who also possessed exotic creatures like the Golden Spider and Pattern Spider from ancient times, along with Shi Longgu. She was no match for them.

She spat out a breath of vital energy, in which twelve decoy Gus were hiding. Using her essence blood, they all transformed into human shapes—six looked like the Fairy, and six like handsome men, all naked, laughing like transformed demons as they pounced towards Bai Guanhong and Shi Longgu.

"Shameless wretch! Utterly disgraceful!" Shi Longgu shouted angrily, using her Flying Sword to cut in half the six male figures that were leaping towards her in the air.

Bai Guanhong had the Pattern Spiders suck the six female figures into their mouths from afar, reverting them back into six Gus and devouring them. He himself pursued the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy with the hundred thousand Hundred Poison Golden Silkworms.

After releasing the decoy Gus, the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy quickly fled the scene, but she couldn't make it back to the Southwest due to being surrounded and blocked by a large number of golden stars. She was forced to ascend towards the sky.

She had barely reached the clouds when the Golden Spider, already lying in wait, opened its mouth and sprayed out a vast amount of silk, weaving a giant net and trapping the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy within it.

The silk of the Golden Spider is the only known thing in this world that can lift the Yuanjiang Golden Ship; once the net was formed, the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy, no matter how much she struggled, couldn't escape.

After capturing the Heavenly Silkworm Fairy, Bai Guanhong came down and said to Shi Feiyang, "I have fulfilled our prior agreement, and now I must leave. Give me the Five Snake Deity."

Shi Feiyang nodded and, sticking to their deal, took out the jar containing the Five Snake Deity and sent it floating over to Bai Guanhong.

Bai Guanhong was just about to leave when Shi Feiyang called out to remind him, "This Fairy's master is called Dongxuan Immortal, and I know their sect specializes in refining Lifebound Gu. Once a disciple encounters trouble, the master can control it from afar. By kidnapping her like this, Dongxuan Immortal won't sit idly by. I've never met the old woman, but she must be very formidable. Be careful, lest one day you get a taste of your own medicine and end up captured by that old lady, reverted to your original form, and refined into a Gu."

Bai Guanhong's face remained expressionless. He looked at Shi Feiyang and suddenly felt that this man seemed very familiar... his tone, demeanor, and this motherly kind of warning, they all resembled someone.

"Thanks." He said indifferently, then took the Fairy and flew off in the northeast direction, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Shi Longgu was well accustomed to Bai Guanhong's temperament and did not take it to heart. She came down and said to Shi Feiyang, "I've wanted to get rid of that despicable Fairy myself, but lacked the strength. I've been holding this grudge for nineteen years, and now I finally feel relieved! I also knew she had a master called Dongxuan Immortal, but she hasn't appeared in the world for many years. Is she really that powerful?"

"Very powerful," Shi Feiyang nodded, "If you encounter her, it's best not to resist and immediately think of a way to contact someone who can save you."

"Someone who can save me?" Shi Longgu sounded somewhat discontent at first but began to feel a bit melancholic after hearing the latter part, thinking of her mother and that other person, "In this vast world, who could save me?"

Shi Feiyang said, "Those who can save you are none other than your parents, husband, or children."

Shi Longgu curled her lip, glanced at Yan Hu, who she had previously pinned in place with a needle when he attempted to release a Flying Sword, and then remembered her former husband Xiong Xue'er, her eyes reddening as she shook her head, "I have no parents, no husband, no children."

"You still have some," Shi Feiyang didn't continue further.

Just as Shi Longgu was about to retort, she looked at his handsome face and suddenly laughed, "What? Are you going to be my husband?"

"That I am not," Shi Feiyang rejected solemnly.

Shi Longgu became unhappy, "For you, I have gone through much trouble, first eliminating the Five Poison Sect and now defeating the revenge-seeking Fairy. Shouldn't you be offering yourself in return?"

Her reason for coming to Yellow Mountain and willing to do Shi Feiyang's bidding was her desire for his beauty. Now that the deed was done and he was not willing to "pay," she definitely couldn't accept that.

If Bai Guanhong could walk away with five Snake Gods, she couldn't just end up empty-handed and have all her efforts be for naught!

She decided in an instant that if he wasn't willing to be with her, she would have to teach him a lesson; maybe it's time to disrupt this mountain-opening ceremony!

Shi Feiyang had planned a way out even before asking for her help. He pointed at Yan Hu and asked Shi Longgu, "Do you know who he is?"

"He is Yan Hu, my most beloved Hu'er," she replied.

Shi Feiyang smiled and told her, "His previous life's name was Li Qi. He was a disciple of the Divine Monk Yichen, the Zen Master of Miao Yin Temple on White Horse Ridge. Have you ever heard of this name?"

Shi Longgu thought for a moment, "It seems familiar. Was he a little monk in his past life? And now my wickedness has broken his Vow Body. Is his master going to seek revenge on me?"

At that thought, she suddenly felt a chill and hurriedly turned to look at the monks from Shaolin Temple, "Isn't one of those monks Yichen Zen Master?"
