This abrupt change stunned everyone, leaving them completely confused about what was happening!

Just moments ago, the night couldn't do anything to him, and based on previous events, the night was bound to be killed by Ye Xunhuan. But now, suddenly, the situation completely reversed.

Isn't this too weird?

The night didn't do anything, just took a bell and gently shook it a few times.

Could it be that this woman really knows some demon art?

Upon witnessing this scene, Olivia also furrowed her brows slightly, looking completely perplexed.

"Wei Ya, what's wrong with Xunhuan? What's wrong..." Qiu Ruoxi asked Olivia anxiously and worriedly.

"I don't know either!"

At this moment, Olivia's heart was filled with unprecedented confusion and puzzlement.

Not only Olivia, but Louis III was also baffled, unable to understand what exactly happened!

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan's face slowly turned ashen, sweat continuously seeping from his forehead, and his face displayed unprecedented pain.

"You... You..."

"How does it feel, Marshal, to be bitten by the Heart-Eating Gu? Not pleasant, right?" The night shook the bell in her hand gently, looking mockingly at Ye Xunhuan.

Every time the night shook the bell, Ye Xunhuan's face looked worse.

"You used Gu on me?" Ye Xunhuan looked at the night in disbelief.

Gu, also known as Gu Art, was once prevalent in the Huaxia Central Hunan and Western Hunan Gumei Mountain regions. In religious texts from these areas, scholars exchanged narratives, and books recorded its presence.

Some medical researchers believed in it so much that during Emperor Renzong's reign in the eighth year of Qingli, he published "Qingli Beneficial Treatment," introducing methods to cure Gu. Even books such as "Discussions on Various Diseases," "Thousand Gold Prescriptions," and "Compendium of Materia Medica" detailed symptoms and treatments for being infected with Gu.

This proves that Gu Art truly existed, but it has since declined and faded from people's view.

Despite its decline, it does not mean it has been annihilated in the course of history—it's known that a small group of people still knows how to cure and use Gu!

And she, the night, happens to be one of those few people.

"That's right, the Heart-Eating Gu, it will slowly erode the organs in your body and breed larvae at an alarming speed, draining your blood..." the night said maliciously.

"When did you use Gu on me? I didn't feel anything at all?"

"Since you're about to die, today I will let you meet your end with understanding!" the night said heavily, "I succeeded thanks to your uncle!"

"Was it Qin Shuheng or Qin Shujie?"

Ye Xunhuan has three uncles, but Qin Shubo is unlikely to harm him, leaving only Qin Shuheng and Qin Shujie!

"Who do you think had the opportunity?"

"Qin Shuheng, right?" Ye Xunhuan said without hesitation.

In the capital city, Qin Shujie hasn't had much interaction with Ye Xunhuan, basically having no chance to use Gu, whereas Qin Shuheng had invited him and Qiu Ruoxi for a meal at the Li Family Restaurant.

So he's the only one most likely to use Gu on Ye Xunhuan.

"Smart!" praised the night. "But you figured it out a bit too late."

"Such a good scheme!"

"I didn't scheme anything; it was your uncle who couldn't accept you. If he did, how could he help me use Gu on you?" the night said lightly.

"I don't understand. Since you already used Gu on me, why didn't you kill me in the capital at that time?"

"Doesn't killing you in Huaxia match the satisfaction of killing you here?" the night said sharply, "In the capital, if you're killed, nobody sees it. If I kill you here, everyone watches!"

"You want to assert your dominance!"

"Exactly, I want to assert dominance with you and also seek revenge," the night said sinisterly, "Marshal, I know, even Blood Phoenix can't save you now!"

"There's no cure for Heart-Eating Gu except from me, and now that your body's Heart-Eating Gu has been triggered by me, it can't be stopped!"

"But if you obediently hand over the Taiji Seal to me, I'll spare your wife's life. Otherwise, while Blood Phoenix can protect her temporarily, I refuse to believe it can last forever!"

From his pale face, Ye Xunhuan slowly forced a smile, "Seems I'm still of use to you now!"

"Less nonsense, will you give me the Taiji Seal or not?"

"I can give it to you, but night, I'm still puzzled about something. If you can tell me, I'll immediately give you the Taiji Seal!"

"Speak!"

"Who plotted against us at first, causing our whereabouts to be betrayed and ambushed by your parents?"

"You are indeed that guy," the night said heavily, "But I don't know who exactly betrayed you!"

"Truly!"

"I have no reason to lie to you," the night said seriously, "After all, the person's fate has nothing to do with me, and moreover, he was the main culprit in my parents' death!"

Upon hearing the night's words, Ye Xunhuan realized she might truly not know who betrayed them.

"Alright, but I have one more question..."

"Marshal, are you trying to buy time?"

"Are you scared?"

"Scared?" the night snorted coldly, "Heart-Eating Gu is incurable except by me!"

"Ask away if you want!"

"From whom did you learn Gu Art and Ninjutsu? I remember your parents only knew Ninjutsu, not Gu Art!"

"I thought you wouldn't be curious." The night chuckled, "I learned Gu Art in Western Hunan, no need for me to say about Ninjutsu, right?"

"Night, are you from Fusang?"

"Marshal, seems you're handling it lightly without knowing what being honest means!"

Saying that, the night slowly shook the bell in her hand again.

But this time, instead of the agony she expected, Ye Xunhuan's paper-white face surprisingly regained some color, sweat on his forehead slowly vanished, and he straightened up, looking at the night with mockery and disdain!

Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan not only unharmed but also devoid of the previous suffering, the night's pupils suddenly dilated and contracted, "You... You..."

"I'm fine, right?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly, "It's simple, I never got infected by Gu!"

"Impossible, impossible, just now you clearly..."

"My wife once said my acting skill could win an Oscar for Best Actor." Ye Xunhuan said softly, "I didn't quite believe it before, but now it seems if I acted in films, I could potentially win Best Actor for the next ten years, right?"
