Its daybreak.

The palace was littered with corpses, and dark red blood had stained the bluestone floor.

One by one, bodies were carried out of the gate and thrown into a mass grave.

After the bloody battle last night, no one dared to come to the door to inquire for a while.

The capital fell into an eerie silence. Jiang Xue Ning was nowhere to be found and did not show up from beginning to end.

After three days and three nights, after passing through the winding waterway, the two wooden boats finally arrived outside Qiu Shui Village and erected a blue and red flag with the Qiu Shui Village logo.

"Who is coming!"

Wu Sa said in a clear voice, "People from Beijing!"

They stopped the boat outside and waited for a while, then saw the sluice gate slowly open and a wooden boat rowed out.

There were a man and a woman standing on the wooden boat. The man in white clothes and holding a jade sword was Xue Yujing, the leader of Qiu Shui Village, and the woman in black clothes and holding a broadsword was Du Yishui, the second leader of Qiu Shui Village.

Xue Yujing's eyes swept across Bingtong's white hair, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Why did you arrive early?"

Wu Sa said, "The princess is not in good condition, so she should not stay in the capital for long."

Du Yishui said cheerfully, "We received news yesterday that the Qingzhou Palace was surrounded and attacked. I didn't expect that Sister Xue Ning would be killed..."

She and Jiang Xue Ning had known each other since Qingzhou, and when Jiang Xue Ning approached them this time, she agreed readily.

Xue Yujing said, "Let's go into the village first and talk about it later."

Along the way, Wu Sa and Bing Tong were truly enlightened. The criss-crossing waterways were like a maze, and there were many traps set up underneath the waterways. People who didn't understand the terrain would most likely get stuck if they tried to force their way through.

After walking around for a while and finally getting ashore, we saw the mountain village hidden deep in the mountains. There were five checkpoints along the way, and people were on duty 24 hours a day.

Wu Sa had seen a lot in the martial arts world, and after entering the mountain village, he couldn't help but praise it, "It's a great place with beautiful mountains and rivers. It's easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it's perfect for occupying the land and ruling the country."

Xue Yujing took them to a private courtyard and said, "Stay wherever you want. If you need anything, just let me know."

Jiang Xue Ning had just sat down with her back turned when the poisonous insect on her left wrist began to stir again.

Bingtong immediately grabbed her wrist and began to cast an illusion, and soon the insect was forced to fall asleep again.

She said with a pale face, "The other party has not given up and tried to drive the Gu worm. This is not a solution. It consumes too much illusion. I can't hold on for much longer."

Wu Sa said worriedly, "We don't know anything about witchcraft. Is this going to be difficult?"

"Is it witchcraft?" Xue Yujing stared at the insect sleeping in Jiang Xuening's left arm. "I've been in southern Xinjiang for a while, so I know a little bit about it."

Bingtong glanced at him and slowly said, "She fell into a coma after being bitten by a butterfly in the yard. When we left, two black butterflies tried to follow us."

"Modie?"

Xue Yujing said with some surprise, “Mo Die, the Seventh Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, uses butterfly as her natal Gu technique and is very skilled.”

Du Yishui couldn't help but say, "That woman is arrogant, and ordinary people can't control her."

Bing Tong lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. It was unrealistic to wait for a sorcerer to remove the poison in the current situation, and they couldn't wait. The most urgent task was to wake Jiang Xue Ning up.

The world is undergoing a major change, and the situation is changing rapidly. If you continue to sleep, you will miss too many opportunities.

"Since the boss knows something about Gu Shu, is there any way to remove it?"

Xue Yujing shook her head. "The witchcraft in Southern Xinjiang is complicated. I only know the basics, but it's not completely useless."

Bing Tong, who usually had no emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but reveal a hopeful look, "Please help me, Boss, and lend a hand."

"The difficulty in removing this kind of Gu worm is that it moves, so when trying to remove it, it is easy to force the Gu worm into the heart, and then there is no solution."

Bing Tong's eyes lit up, "I can use illusion to make the insect fall asleep, unable to move and be controlled."

Xue Yujing smiled faintly and said, "So you can try to forcibly remove the Gu. Now the Gu worm is in the blood vessels of your arm, so you can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that there won't be any other harm after removing it."

Bingtong said without hesitation, "Take it!"

The ice flower she fed could temporarily protect Jiang Xue Ning's heart meridian, and it would not be worse than it is now. If she didn't take it, when she couldn't hold on any longer and was found by the other party, facing the top witch and Gu master head-on, they would be the only ones who would suffer.

Xue Yujing, "You have come here to rest first. We will take care of the Gu at night."

They all ate hot meals and took hot baths, then slept soundly for the whole afternoon.

After dinner, Xue Yujing brought a poison doctor from the village, "This is the poison doctor You Ling, he will be in charge of removing the poison."

You Ling observed the poisonous insect on Jiang Xue Ning's arm with great interest, and an excited smile appeared on his overly pale face. "This is a good thing. The person who put the poison on it must have spent a lot of money!"

"Is it dangerous to remove the Gu by force?" Bingtong asked.

You Ling held down the blood vessel where the Gu worm was lurking. "The Gu worm is in the blood vessel, so we must pierce the blood vessel and forcibly remove it. Heavy bleeding is inevitable, and whether there will be other problems depends on fate!"

Just in case, Bingtong once again forced herself to cast an illusion on the insect.

You Ling used a knife that had been roasted over fire to break through the skin and flesh layer by layer, decisively cut open the blood vessels, and picked out the poisonous insect lurking inside.

Jiang Xue Ning's arm was bleeding profusely in an instant. You Ling sutured her blood vessels, sprinkled hemostatic powder on the wound, and bandaged it.

He reached out his hand to feel Jiang Xue Ning's pulse and said, "Except that she is too weak, there is no major problem for the time being."

Bing Tong, "When will she wake up?"

"If it's fast, it will be tonight. If it's slow, it will be tomorrow." You Ling picked up the white poisonous insect. "If there are other problems, I don't know."

After all, witchcraft is a very evil thing, and they, as outsiders, don’t really understand it.

He placed the insect on the table and gave a wicked smile. "I heard that if the insect dies, the witch who cast the poison will be attacked. I don't know if it's true or not."

He raised the knife in his hand and cut the insect in half, intending to use it to make poison.

"Hey, if it's fake, I hope it's real."

In the Prince of Wei's mansion, Mo Die, dressed in blue, spat out a large mouthful of blood. His heart veins were damaged and he was in a bad condition.

She leaned against the table in pain, and after a while she recovered and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, "Okay, you dare to kill my young Gu!"

"Jiang Xuening..."

She remembered this name. Once she caught her, she would make her her container for refining Gu!

Xiao Linfeng pushed the door open and she sneered, "The people have escaped, the young Gu has been killed, do we still need to continue with the plan?"

"Of course." Xiao Linfeng said nonchalantly, "He ran away, not dead."

"Haha, you're such a lunatic!"

But she likes it, and she agreed to come out and help him this time because she wanted to practice the forbidden technique she had practiced for a long time!
