Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 398 The Source of All Evil
Lu Dan thought it was a good idea; with the prefect and Mr. Xu acting at the same time, he had double protection and wouldn't lose out anyway.

A higher-ranking official can have absolute power, and in the end, the troops were still lent out.

On the way back, Xie Yu asked the gentleman how confident he was now.

Xu Xuan calmly said, holding a paper butterfly, "Perfect."

night.

The prefect left his residence and went to a certain place in Suzhou city.

In a place with such abundant groundwater resources, there is actually an underground space, or nest.

The fact that it didn't collapse despite being wet is also thanks to the strangeness of the demon race.

Looking around, all you see are centipedes that haven't yet taken human form, some big and some small, even the smallest ones are as thick as a water bucket, and each one has dozens of pairs of tiny legs.

These legs intertwine and entwine when they are tightly clustered together, forming a complex and dynamic web of feet.

Their bodies are covered with relatively rough carapaces. When they huddle together, these hard shells rub against each other, making a slight rustling sound that makes one's teeth ache and bones tremble.

The extremely bizarre scene did not alarm the governor, because these little demons were all successfully bred offspring.

Deng You parted the small centipedes and walked to the very center, where he saw several crazed creatures tearing at each other, and he could only watch helplessly.

The fact that the Divine Pill Possession Technique has such a loophole is truly unexpected for the demon.

The idea of ​​an insect egg transforming into a pill to parasitize the body, and then bursting out to devour the host's flesh and blood when the time is right, thus replacing the original body in a short period of time, is excellent.

After decades of experimentation, significant results have been achieved, and thanks to the Ge family's group of fools, they have already refined quite a few divine pills.

But who could have imagined that the final mistake would occur within humanity itself, the very source of flesh and blood?

It's really poisonous.

The few aristocratic scions who were parasitized indulged in drug use and promiscuity, and the resulting plague actually damaged the demon race's true form, like maggots clinging to bones that could not be eradicated.

That would have been bad enough, but he also committed many evil deeds, attracting vengeful ghosts and vengeful spirits to haunt him.

Even the Heavenly Way's favoritism towards humanity couldn't prevent so many sins from being committed amidst the wrath of Heaven and the resentment of the people.

Ultimately, the intelligence of the centipede's offspring was corrupted, causing them to go berserk and devour flesh and blood before escaping.

That kind of madness could even defy the commands of one's own bloodline; it was simply unbelievable.

Humanity is truly the root of all evil.

Seeing that these were beyond saving, Deng You raised his hand and formed a hand seal, which turned out to be the Eight Heavenly Dragons Seal Technique!

A flash of light appeared, and the traces of these failed attempts were erased with strange Buddhist hand gestures.

"Only one or two are still causing trouble outside. We should resolve this as soon as possible and end this sooner rather than later. We cannot delay the important matters of our ancestors."

This is why Deng You was so confident in predicting three days; no one understood the centipede's habits better than him.

Evil forces are operating in the shadows, so righteous organizations cannot afford to stop either.

Xu Xuan also took advantage of the night to run out and arrived at the rendezvous point in the suburbs, where he met Master Mao who was waiting there.

"how?"

"We caught one."

The Taoist priest led Xu Xuan to a secluded spot, where they saw a large centipede restrained by chains of refined gold.

Its body length is as tall as an adult, and its body is as thick as a bucket filled with water.

The skin is covered with a rough, hard carapace, gleaming with a dark sheen. Strange spots and pustules are scattered all over its body; just looking at it makes your sanity plummet.

Dozens of slender legs were now swinging wildly in an almost chaotic rhythm, each claw like a sharp hook trying to tear the surrounding air apart.

The enormous body tumbled and twisted within its restraints, each attempt accompanied by an astonishing release of power that rattled the chains.

At this moment, its antennae on its head seemed to sense Xu Xuan's approach and were flailing wildly in the air, trying to find a way to escape. Its compound eyes were flashing with fear and despair.

Its biological instincts told it that a wicked and terrifying demon king was approaching.

"He's quite fierce."

Xu Xuan was in a good mood at the moment. Since Baoantang had taken the initiative, it was natural for them to take the initiative.

Master Mao's confidence in challenging Prefect Deng stemmed from his alliance with fellow independent cultivators who had captured one first.

But this centipede... could it have been invaded by an external god? How could it be so ugly, and even exude a threatening aura?

This is quite remarkable. A little monster that hasn't even reached the stage of human transformation has the ability to threaten the second realm. What kind of modification technology can create such a weapon of war?

That man surnamed Deng is indeed vicious!

The Taoist priest coughed lightly, indicating that this strange thing must be a special product.

According to the medical methods in his "Shinto Book", this centipede's demonic body was infected with a special disease from birth.

The demon race's resistance is normally far stronger than that of the human race, but they are still very vulnerable during gestation, which is why they get infected.

This disease is a million times more potent than venereal disease in terms of its lewd and evil influences. It directly destroys the protective power of one's vital essence. If the physical body is a precious raft for surviving the world, then this raft is already riddled with holes and is basically incurable.

At birth, their souls were tainted by resentment and malevolent energy, thus losing the opportunity to awaken their spirits.

That's why they follow their instincts, empty their bodies, then flee to shady places to avoid the sun's rays, and hunt for food again at night.

In short, please be careful, Mr. Xu, and don't get hurt.

When Young Master Xu heard the diagnosis, he consciously stepped back.

AIDS?

This thing is scary.

However, AIDS in the modern sense probably did not exist during the Jin Dynasty, so this was just a more primitive virus.

However, congenital diseases in this area are basically incurable.

Even though I have reached the Bodhi mind state and am basically immune to all poisons, I still feel a little panicked when I hear about similar illnesses.

As for this centipede demon, one can only say that for demons, mother-to-child transmission is also unsolvable.

Suffering from two incurable diseases affecting his essence, spirit, and soul, all that remained was his final madness.

No wonder Suzhou is in chaos; the Deng family is simply out of luck.

Then both sides, good and evil, sighed: "Humanity truly is the root of all evil."

The Taoist priest then buried the centipede demon in sulfur, using the principle of innate mutual restraint to calm it down.

Three days later, I'll need this real poisoned dagger for a sure backstab.

The organization has prepared no fewer than four plans to address the root causes of the problems in Suzhou and Wu County.

He was getting impatient.

The giant turtle in Taihu Lake is also taking action.

It successfully infiltrated the lake's demon clan.

After being purged by Yu Gong last time, many of the demons were newcomers. In addition, the Taihu demons were not a very disciplined organization, and in the end, they even managed to become minor leaders through some means.

They also learned a lot of information about the Golden Dragon King.

According to some old demons, no one knows for sure whether the Golden Dragon is a dragon or not, but it is definitely not a water demon.

When you travel, you don't bring any moisture with you, only the earthy, musty smell of the soil. It appears occasionally, but it doesn't really matter.

However, the opponent was too powerful and possessed strange Buddhist magic, so he defeated several demon kings one after another.

After offering their true spirits, the demons were powerless to resist.

Most of the previous orders were to cooperate with the human water pirates to cause trouble, and the ones who were killed last time were the key members of them.

The old fish demon sighed, "Back then, with the protection of the Reed Flower Goddess, we demons were truly carefree, breathing in the essence of the sun and moon in the lake."

After saying that, he threw the spirit jade in his hand back to Turtle Big.

"King Benbo, if you can save us from the control of the Golden Dragon, I can point you to a chance encounter in Taihu Lake afterward."

The turtle laughed loudly, "Who do you think you are?"

He threw two pieces of spirit jade back.

"If there's an opportunity, let's talk about it now; we have money."
