Chapter 441: Forsaking Darkness for the Light

The Grand Elder was skeptical at first, but when he saw Qin Tuo’s expression, his heart couldn’t help but leap in alarm.

’Oh? Could this young man really have a way to remove the Gu Insect from my body?’

With a slight exertion, Qin Tuo used his Spiritual Power to force the Gu Insect right out of the Grand Elder’s body.

The Gu Insect was clearly very strong and immediately tried to escape!

But before Qin Tuo, it had nowhere to run.

CRACK...

After a soft sound, the Gu Insect was crushed by Qin Tuo, turning into a pile of dust.

After killing the Gu Insect, Qin Tuo dusted off his hands and smiled.

"From now on, you’re completely free, just like him."

Hearing Qin Tuo’s words, the Grand Elder still couldn’t believe his ears.

But the ironclad truth was right before their eyes. The image of the Gu Insect being forced from his body and crushed by Qin Tuo was still vivid in everyone’s minds, refusing to fade!

"Heavens, you can really bypass the Pavilion Master’s methods and forcibly kill the Gu Insects for us? How on earth did you do that?"

In the distance, the Second Elder and Fourth Elder could no longer stand still. They walked over, faces flushed with excitement, their lips trembling.

Heaven knows how much they had been tormented by these Gu Insects over the years!

Now that they finally saw someone who could relieve them of this suffering, their elation was palpable.

The Third Elder was also red-faced with excitement, happy for the Grand Elder.

He said with a smile:

"So? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

The Grand Elder took a deep breath and bowed to Qin Tuo.

"Brother Qin, thank you for extending a helping hand today and saving me from this sea of suffering. I will repay this immense kindness handsomely!"

Qin Tuo waved his hand casually, indicating it was nothing.

Behind him, Sun Haicheng and his group watched this scene, looking at each other, utterly speechless.

At this moment, the Second Elder and Fourth Elder could no longer contain themselves. Wringing their hands, they said:

"Brother Qin, please, help us kill these damned Gu Insects too! We can’t stand their torment any longer!"

"Yes, Brother Qin! If you can help me, I will follow your every command from this day forward. My life is yours."

Qin Tuo nodded, then used the same method to force the Gu Insects out of the Second and Fourth Elders’ bodies, killing them all.

And so, the Gu Insects inside all four Elders had been eliminated by Qin Tuo.

From that moment on, the four Elders were completely restored to freedom.

The four Elders hugged each other, weeping with joy, overcome with emotion.

After a while, the Grand Elder looked up and said seriously:

"Brother Qin, to be honest, we have done many unconscionable things for Yan Hongliang over the years. Today, we are willing to forsake the darkness for the light and help you eliminate that fiend!"

Qin Tuo nodded. This was his true objective.

"Very good. In that case, I’ll trouble the four of you to lead the way!"

Qin Tuo said slowly, the killing intent in his eyes growing incomparably cold.

"Of course, Mr. Qin. Everyone, please follow me!"

The four Elders, filled with hatred for Yan Hongliang, turned and led everyone towards the mechanism.

...

At the Blood Moon Pavilion headquarters, Yan Hongliang, dressed in a brocade robe, was resting with his eyes closed.

After waiting for a while, he suddenly felt that something was strange.

’Oh? Something’s not right. The three of them went together. Could they have failed?’

Yan Hongliang wanted to go out and check on the situation, but just then, he suddenly noticed a series of changes coming from the Gu Vessel.

He watched as the Gu Insects representing the three Elders all struggled for a moment, then died!

The sight made Yan Hongliang’s jaw drop and his eyes go wide with shock.

"What? How is this possible?"

By now, the Gu Insects of all four Elders had died. Yan Hongliang assumed this meant the four Elders themselves must have all perished outside.

At this, he panicked, his mind a tangled mess. He felt that a great disaster was imminent.

’What do I do? What in the world do I do? Who exactly has come to make trouble for me?’

At this moment, Yan Hongliang was filled with immense hatred.

He then hurriedly ran towards a secret attic.

Yan Hongliang’s thinking was very simple. It didn’t matter what powerful enemy had arrived; he just needed to cultivate his evil technique to a higher level. Then, he wouldn’t need to fear anyone.

Within this dark pavilion was a secret room, inside which more than ten very young girls were locked up.

When they saw Yan Hongliang arrive, the locked-up girls’ faces turned pale with fright, and they huddled together in a ball!

Yan Hongliang stood before them, his eyes dark, and scanned the girls.

According to his plan, he still needed more such virgins, but the situation was critical, and he couldn’t wait any longer.

Yan Hongliang murmured softly:

"’It’s a pity. The number is insufficient, but it can’t be helped!’"

As his voice fell, Yan Hongliang formed a hand seal and began to chant a mysterious incantation.

Hearing Yan Hongliang begin his chant, the girls were so scared they nearly burst into tears.

As the incantation continued, a swarm of poisonous insects suddenly poured out from Yan Hongliang’s wide sleeves.

The scene was too terrifying. When had these girls ever witnessed such a horrifying sight?

Then, the poisonous insects slowly crawled towards the group of girls...

The strange, varied poisonous insects emitted a foul stench, plunging all the girls into utter despair.

"Help! Can anyone save us!"

"Oh god, I don’t want to die..."

The girls screamed continuously, their minds completely broken.

The poisonous insects lunged straight at them!

All the girls felt they were doomed. Amidst miserable cries, they simply squeezed their eyes shut, waiting for the final moment of death to arrive.

Yan Hongliang watched this scene with a cold sneer, not a shred of pity in his heart.

In his eyes, these girls were no different from pigs or dogs. He was just using them to practice his evil Cultivation Technique.

As long as he could complete his Cultivation Technique, his power would increase dramatically, and he would fear no one’s challenge.

But just as the poisonous insects were about to kill all the girls, Yan Hongliang suddenly shuddered!

He was shocked to feel a terrifying killing intent slowly approaching from behind.

’Who is that?’

Yan Hongliang instinctively grew alert. He quickly withdrew his technique and retreated rapidly.

At the same time, the insects immediately scattered, disappearing into the shadowy corners.

Yan Hongliang turned to look and found a strange young man standing before him...
