Chapter 1070: Chapter 262: What? The Commandery Princess Was Captured by the Five Poison Sect?
“Don’t know?”
Chen Jie squinted his eyes, scanning the innkeeper with a hostile gaze.
The innkeeper immediately said, “I don’t know, I really don’t know, the Gu God is the deity our Five Poison Sect worships, we don’t know the specifics either.”
“What about awakening it?”
The innkeeper replied, “I’ve heard it said that the Gu God seems to be slumbering in the Abyss Valley within the mountains behind Wangu Village, but the specifics aren’t known to us peripheral sect members.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the other people and asked, “Is he telling the truth?”
The other people’s expressions changed.
But none of them spoke up, and at this moment, Chen Jie pointed to the leading Miao bandit and said, “You, speak up.”
Upon hearing this, the Miao bandit leader directly said, “I don’t know anything, if you’ve got the guts, kill me.”
Hearing his words, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said, “What a tough guy, it’s a pity we didn’t bring Zhou Junchen this time, if he were here, this stubbornness would have been cured.”
Xiao Hu said, “A tough guy, let me handle it.”
Saying that, Xiao Hu directly plunged the long knife in his hand into the back leg of the Miao bandit leader.
“Ah…”
A scream filled the air, the Miao bandit leader cried out in pain, and Chen Jie said, “Why not answer, you look like you’re in a lot of pain.”
“I don’t know.”
Chen Jie shrugged and said, “Really a tough guy.”
Xiao Hu, upon hearing this, gently twisted the knife in his hand, causing the Miao bandit leader to scream, but he refused to give in.
Chen Jie raised his hand and said, “Forget it, too cruel, here, feed him this instead.”
Saying so, Chen Jie handed Xiao Hu a small box, and Xiao Hu took it, looked at it, and asked, “What’s this?”
And while Xiao Hu was questioning, the Miao bandit leader suddenly screamed: “I won’t eat it, no, I’ll confess, I’ll confess…”
Xiao Hu was puzzled, why did this guy confess so easily, he hadn’t even been fed yet!
But the Miao bandit leader clearly recognized that what Chen Jie handed to Xiao Hu was the brain worm gu.
This thing is more terrifying than torture, once ingested, a person would be controlled by this brain worm gu, and the pain would be so unbearable they’d wish to claw their own brain out.
Regular detoxification medicine is needed to alleviate it, a common method used by the Five Poison Sect to control their subordinates.
The Miao bandit leader had already ingested a brain worm gu to be controlled by the Five Poison Sect’s protector, and after ingestion, he needed to frequently take detoxification medicine, otherwise, the danger was great if he didn’t take it in time.
Having already eaten one brain worm gu, if he took another, the meeting of the two would instantly trigger the gu poison, which would be fatal.
The Miao bandit leader was not afraid of death, but he feared being consumed by the ten thousand worms, a pain he could not endure.
Thus, he chose to surrender immediately, what was information? He would answer whatever they wanted to ask.
“I’ll speak, I’ll speak, I know about the Gu God, it’s slumbering in the Abyss Valley, we are not allowed to enter there, but from a distance, we’ve heard the sound of the Gu God, it’s truly terrifying, one sound and all the gu bow down.”
The Miao bandit leader clearly knew more than the innkeeper.
After the Miao bandit leader finished speaking, he looked at Chen Jie and said, “I advise you, having killed so many of our Five Poison Sect people, you better leave Xiangxi quickly, otherwise, if you’re discovered, you’ll find no escape in life or death!”
Hearing this, Chen Jie fell silent, looking at them and saying, “Thank you for the warning, but that’s our affair, by the way, how strong is the Five Poison Sect, do you know?”
The Miao bandit leader, having already given information, didn’t mind saying a bit more.
He said, “The Five Poison Sect is the greatest force in our Miao Land and the rulers of us Miao people.”
“At the head is the Mother Miao, under her are the Five Sect Hierarchs, each one possesses the strength of Dragon Realm, and even Molten Furnace Realm, and the Mother Miao ranks first on the Earth List, known as a powerful figure worldwide, in addition to having numerous Hall Masters and protectors, under the protectors are the Miao Soldiers.”
“In our Miao Territory, there are thirty thousand Miao Soldiers, all under the rule of our Five Poison Sect.”
“It’s safe to say our strength in Miao Land is unbeatable, I advise you, don’t go further, turn back now, once you enter the Ten Thousand Mountains, your life and death won’t be up to you.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the Miao bandit leader and asked, “What’s your position in the Five Poison Sect?”
The Miao bandit leader said, “Among the thirty thousand Miao Soldiers, I hold the rank of Hundred Households, managing a mountain fortress.”
Chen Jie understood upon hearing that, he didn’t realize there was so much hierarchy here.
He had truly underestimated these Miao people, who had such formidable strength.
With this in mind, Chen Jie said, “By the way, how long have you been poisoning Jianghu guests here, and how many have you captured?”
The Miao bandit leader said, “It’s been ten days, ask the shopkeeper how many we’ve caught.”
The Miao bandit leader looked at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper shivered and said, “Reporting to the Hero, not many, just, a hundred, more or less.”
Chen Jie said, “A hundred people in ten days, ten a day, you sure catch quite a few!”
The Miao bandit leader said, “That’s just our team’s count, among the inns leading to Miao Territory, if not a hundred, then eighty, over these days, there should be a few thousand Jianghu guests captured.”
Chen Jie said, “A few thousand people’s heart blood, to awaken your Gu God?”
The Miao bandit leader said, “Yes, once the Gu God awakens, it will surely lead us Miao people to unstoppable victory.”
