"This..."
Miao Yinuo was stunned.
That kind of Gu worm was a once-in-a-million "Spirit Devouring" Gu, which was incurable.
Once swallowed.
Unless removed by unbelievably powerful force, the only outcomes were being controlled by the Gu worm or being killed by it.
Bai Ruoyi had such a Gu worm in her mind, which was why she was in her current state, and even Bai Zihe, with all his might, couldn't remove it.
And now...
This fairy sister wanted her to give one to Big Brother Bai as well.
If she hadn't just seen her help soothe Big Brother Bai, making him temporarily calm, she would have suspected this fairy sister had ulterior motives.
Miao Yinuo looked at her fixedly and asked with confusion, "Why?"
"I know you want to say that this Gu worm is incurable."
The mature fairy sighed, her eyes filled with complexity. "To be honest, my name is Shangguan Xianling, and I am Bai Zihe's eldest martial sister."
Everyone was startled.
Bai Zihe had many martial sisters, each either holding high positions, possessing extraordinary strength, or having astonishing skills, and all were as beautiful as deities…
They knew this.
They hadn't expected another eldest martial sister to appear now.
Everyone immediately thought of what Bai Zihe had said earlier about "eldest sister," and realized he must have meant to call her eldest martial sister!
They all understood.
Their gaze towards Shangguan Xianling turned respectful.
Shangguan Xianling continued, "Junior Brother just consumed Hellfire Blood. This substance contains powerful, violent energy, but it is very easy to lose oneself to it."
"Junior Brother's strength is not enough yet."
"If his mind isn't controlled by the Spirit Devouring Gu worm now, then when he next loses his mind to the Hellfire Blood, there will be no hope of saving him."
"Even if a Da Luo immortal descended, it would be incredibly difficult to save him."
Everyone's mouths twitched.
Bai Zihe's earlier frantic behavior was still vivid, and now Shangguan Xianling told them that the next time would be a certain death situation…
This was unacceptable to everyone, and it made them feel even worse.
Miao Yinuo fell into a dilemma. This was an extremely difficult decision.
"Shua..."
Just then, Bai Zihe moved.
He opened his eyes and looked at everyone, a faint crimson glow appearing in his pupils.
Shangguan Xianling's expression changed, and she urged, "My 'Moon-Kissed Immortal Flute' can only suppress it for a very short time. You must be quick."
In such a situation, Miao Yinuo had no choice.
"Big Brother Bai..."
She took out a bottle. Inside, the Gu worm was wriggling as if it had smelled delicious food, exceptionally active.
Miao Yinuo took it out, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
However.
As the crimson color in Bai Zihe's eyes grew more pronounced.
Miao Yinuo had no more time to think.
Immediately, she gritted her teeth and fed the Gu worm into Bai Zihe's mouth.
"Big Brother Bai, I'm sorry."
"I couldn't do anything else. I hope you don't blame me."
The Spirit Devouring Gu worm burrowed in with a wriggle. Bai Zihe's eyeballs rolled, and he once again fell into a coma.
Everyone's hearts tightened.
Afterward, their gazes fell on Shangguan Xianling.
Without realizing it.
She had become the pillar of strength for everyone.
"Let's go back first."
Shangguan Xianling stepped forward, carried Bai Zihe on her back, and led the way.
Qin Yuan arranged for some people to collect the bodies of the deceased. He himself, along with Xue'er, Zhan Tianlong, and others, returned to Tenglong Bay.
Not long after.
Su Weiwei arrived after hearing the news.
Looking at Bai Zihe lying in bed, her heart was filled with worry and anxiety.
But she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, Su Weiwei saw Shangguan Xianling and was stunned.
This woman…
Mature and dignified, elegant and noble, with a hint of otherworldly aura that made one feel inferior.
Upon learning she was Bai Zihe's eldest martial sister, Su Weiwei's expression changed.
Fifth martial sister Yue Rushuang, second martial sister Ji Xueyun, sixth martial sister Yan Zhiyun, and now the eldest martial sister Shangguan Xianling, not to mention the third and fourth martial sisters she didn't know…
She felt immense pressure.
Half an hour later, Yue Rushuang also arrived.
Looking at Bai Zihe lying in bed, her heart ached. Even reminiscing with Shangguan Xianling was done with a heavy heart, her smiles forced.
A moment later, Bai Zihe opened his eyes.
"Eldest martial sister..."
"Fifth martial sister..."
"Miss Su, Miss Qin..."
"Miaomiao, why are you all here..."
Bai Zihe saw the crowd in the room, his mind in a daze. He suddenly remembered what he had done earlier.
He quickly asked nervously, "Eldest martial sister, how did I get back later?"
Bai Zihe vaguely remembered that when he was about to lose his sanity, it was his eldest martial sister who played the "Moon-Kissed Flute" to temporarily suppress the impulse in his mind.
He had no clear memory of what happened afterward.
"Later..."
Shangguan Xianling said with a complicated expression, "I had Miao Yinuo give you a Gu worm to control your brain, temporarily suppressing the backlash from the Hellfire Blood."
Bai Zihe's face immediately contorted.
Little sister was still suffering from the Spirit Devouring Gu worm, and now he had one too…
"Junior Brother..."
Shangguan Xianling said with a solemn expression, "You now have Hellfire Blood flowing through your veins, the Spirit Devouring Gu worm in your mind, and with your little sister…"
"We must hurry."
"By the way, did eldest martial brother look for you?"
