Yun Jiuqing’s words made the merchant’s eyes widen in shock.
He could not help but exclaim repeatedly, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could I have eaten a Taoist? It was clearly a wild boar that I ate! And I even sold the wild boar meat; those who bought it, they couldn’t possibly have failed to recognize what kind of meat it was, could they?!"
Yun Jiuqing sneered, "Who knows? There are so many strange and mysterious techniques in this world, especially the extremely bizarre Witch Gu arts."
"Even we cultivators have been ensnared without realizing it. It seems that the Witch Gu Cultivator you saved back then was very powerful, and he might still be lurking in Neihai County to this day!"
Xing Fengzi chimed in, "Yun Scholar is correct. Gu worms are mostly fragile and cannot reproduce and grow on their own. They need someone to carefully tend to them, only then can they breed normally."
Xing Fengzi took a deep breath, channeling the rushing mana within him, attempting to strike at his Dantian.
To eradicate the Gu worms inside his body.
Fortunately, his [Power] attribute was at 12 points. Amongst cultivators, such a [Power] attribute was already not weak. The Gu worm within Xing Fengzi’s body was directly annihilated by him.
It was at this moment.
He discovered... that the scene he could see before him had undergone a slight change. An extremely frightening scene appeared naked before his eyes.
The sight caused Xing Fengzi’s complexion to darken, unable to accept this image that challenged his bottom line.
Then.
Xing Fengzi approached the merchant. Under the latter’s face, pale with terror, Xing Fengzi did not deal him a deadly blow but instead struck a palm against the man’s lower abdomen.
The merchant’s eyes nearly popped out. It was just a light slap from Xing Fengzi, but the intense pain in his belly made him tremble in agony, and unconsciously, he knelt down.
The merchant felt a nauseating sensation surge from his stomach up to his chest. He bent over, retching continuously on the spot.
Until...
It seemed that something strange had been vomited out of him.
Everyone looked closely and discovered that it was actually a bizarre worm, roughly the thickness and length of a human finger. One end of the worm bore a very strange eye.
That eye looked just like a human eye, causing a chill at first glance!
The merchant opened his eyes and looked ahead.
Just then, the worm’s eye, by sheer coincidence, was facing him, scaring him into crying out before retreating repeatedly.
He felt as though he had bumped into something, which felt like the unprocessed animal meat from the kitchen. In his hasty panic, he frantically turned his head back, almost fainting from shock.
Because what he shockingly found was not some animal meat at all; he saw a huge human head staring at him!
"Dead, dead, dead..." the merchant screamed, "There’s a dead person here!!!"
"What?" A kitchen hand next to him exclaimed in shock, "Boss, this... this is a cow’s head!"
"What cow’s head? This head is clearly..." Just as the merchant shouted, he froze.
A chill rose from his feet.
Soaring straight to his crown!
The words of Fan Wu and the others echoed endlesssly in his mind, and past memories flickered relentlessly. A wave of fear had completely surrounded both his body and mind.
He suddenly realized that these people who had burst into the kitchen might... not have been spouting nonsense.
Did that not mean he had been deceived by that strange man back then?
Did that not mean what he had eaten was not a wild boar at all?
But the Taoist Priest he had shot?
The merchant was petrified, staring blankly at the surroundings, at scenes that were enough to give him nightmares for a lifetime.
If... he really had been deceived by that strange man, didn’t that mean that all the meat he had been eating and selling over the years was not animal meat at all?!
No!
That’s not right!
He felt that at least half of the meat in his kitchen was animal meat, and even though what he saw now was horrific and terrifying, that didn’t mean there was no animal meat there.
But... the problem now was, even if there was a lot of animal meat, that couldn’t make the other meat vanish!
If the authorities were to find out about this, wouldn’t he be treated as a homicidal maniac?
Wouldn’t he be locked up in prison by the authorities for the rest of his life?
And perhaps even be taken to the market for beheading?
In endless panic and desperation, perhaps because he had fallen into a state of despair, his mind was forced to scramble like a bolt of lightning, and he actually thought of a question, "No, it shouldn’t be this way; I’m not a murderer! I... in my life, I’ve only killed that Taoist Priest back then!"
"If, if the meat in the kitchen, half of it isn’t animal meat, then where did I get this meat from? I’m just a small merchant, how could I possibly have the capability to abduct all these people?"
"Right! This meat... I purchased it from some hunters and peasants in exchange for silver! Even if there was killing, it was them, they were the ones who killed!"
"When I bought it, this meat... was already butchered!"
The flash of insight in his mind was like a lifeline, and he clung to this lifeline, unwilling to let go.
