Chapter 313: Chapter 143 Consort Yu: You dare touch my people?! (6K)_2

"Forget it, let’s keep it for now and ask the Empress when we return."

Chen Mo picked up the ball of yarn from the ground and immediately felt something was off.

Light and soft, yet frizzy and dry. Upon closer inspection, this was not yarn at all but a bunch of hair!

"Stupid cat, where did you find this thing?"

"Meow~"

The black cat lifted its front paw and pointed under the bed.

Chen Mo got up and walked over, lifting the entire bed frame.

Underneath he found a wooden box, its lid open, containing talisman papers, human bones, and countless nail fragments.

It seemed to be used for some sort of ritual...

"What is this stuff?" Chen Mo frowned slightly.

"It’s the Blood Gu Technique."

Suddenly, a slightly magnetic voice sounded from behind him.

Turning around, Chen Mo saw Ji Hongxiu, who had somehow entered the room, leaning lazily by the window, stretching her body leisurely, the red Daoist robe barely concealing her shapely figure.

Compared to the silly Little Black, this woman seemed more like a cat.

Lazy, elegant, mysterious, with an unpredictable temperament.

"Blood Gu Technique?"

"Using hair or nails as a medium, once the Blood Gu is released, the Gu Poison Worm will use it to lock onto the target and parasitize their body... It’s a usual technique of the Gu God Sect."

Chen Mo’s frown deepened upon hearing this.

"Judging from the quantity, there might already be over ten thousand people. What is their purpose?"

"Naturally, it is for refining Gu, concentrating the Gu Poison Worms in a vessel, letting them fight each other. The one that survives is the most potent King Gu," Ji Hongxiu said with a sly smile, "Looks like you accidentally wandered into someone else’s Gu Vessel."

?!

Chen Mo’s back felt cold.

Using an entire county as a Gu Vessel, tens of thousands of civilians as sacrifices, just to refine a so-called King Gu?

He had fought with the Gu God Sect several times, knew their methods were bizarre, treating human lives as if they were worthless, but never imagined they’d be maddened to such extremes!

Ji Hongxiu saw through his thoughts and said indifferently, "This place is remote, the court doesn’t care, moreover Southern Border is just the land of the Gu God Sect. Using humans to refine Gu is common here... just rarely on such a large scale."

Swoosh—

The night breeze began to rise.

The sky had darkened, with the moon slipping between clouds, the crescent moon had a faint bloody glow.

Ji Hongxiu leaned by the window, the breeze fluttering her hair, scattered around her fair neck, while she shook the wine gourd in her hand and softly uttered:

"It’s about to begin."

Chen Mo looked outside through the window, his pupils slightly constricted.

Originally empty streets were now crowded without him knowing.

Civilians walked out from their homes, expressions vacant, arms hanging, eyes glowing with crimson light, like statues, unmoving.

There were elderly people, children, and even pregnant women with large bellies... even the inn’s owner was among them.

"About an hour, judging by time, they’ll start slaughtering each other under the Gu Poison Worm’s control."
