"Everyone rest assured, we are elders of the Black Wind Stronghold. This is my senior brother Hu Tian, and I am Huang Yao. We are here to slay the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider!"
The shorter black-clad martial artist introduced himself, while the taller one said arrogantly, "Jiuyin Poisonous Spider, face your death!"
With that, Hu Tian and Huang Yao both attacked the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider.
The figure of the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider kept moving in the darkness, perhaps due to an injured leg, its speed was much slower than before.
During the fight, it unexpectedly started to be at a disadvantage.
Chu Nan wasn't surprised by this; Hu Tian and Huang Yao were both Yang Wheel sixth-level martial artists, and so was the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider. It wasn't surprising that it was outmatched.
However, Chu Nan didn't think the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider would be so easily slain by Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
After several dozen rounds of fighting, just when the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider seemed to be losing, its eyes suddenly emitted a green light, and another surge of Yin Evil Qi erupted, but it did not harm Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
While they were puzzled, Chu Nan, watching from a distance, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He saw that the guards, who had already turned into corpses, all climbed back up and crazily charged at Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
Especially the deceased Guard Commander, since the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider hadn't had time to absorb his essence and blood, he still retained his cultivation and was preparing to self-detonate.
Hu Tian and Huang Yao were quickly entangled by these corpses.
Chu Nan watched all this with alarm internally saying, "I never expected that the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider would also have the ability to control corpses."
A few moments later, all the corpses, including the Guard Commander who was about to self-detonate, were chopped into pieces by Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
But the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider took this opportunity to escape into the darkness long ago.
Seeing the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider escape, Hu Tian didn't look too pleased that such a major accomplishment had slipped away, but he quickly laughed and said, "Rest assured, everyone, the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider has been driven away. If it dares to come again, we brothers will surely slay it!"
These words immediately drew cheers, and even the fleeing guards returned.
Order quickly was restored, and after gathering the corpses, everyone, under the guidance of Hu Tian and Huang Yao, set out for the mountain exit.
Chu Nan no longer paid attention to this scene. He returned to the cabin and closed his eyes to rest, actually communicating with Kui Guang: "Sword Venerable Master, although the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider is strong, I have confidence to deal with it."
"It's just that I have no means to counteract the Yin Evil Qi. Do you have any method?"
The Yin Evil Qi is bizarre, capable of taking the life of a Yang Wheel martial artist in one encounter. The control of corpses by the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider is likely achieved using the Yin Evil Qi as well.
Without resolving the Yin Evil Qi, Chu Nan has no way to slay the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider.
Kui Guang seemed to have anticipated this moment long ago, and he sent a message saying, "Dealing with the Yin Evil Qi is not difficult. It is said that beside the toxic poison, there is always an antidote. Within this mountain, there are surely herbs and spirit plants that can counteract the Yin Evil Qi."
"Next, you can search in this mountain range, and I will teach you how to refine the Evil Avoidance Pill using these mountain herbs."
Chu Nan was overjoyed in his heart, so afterward, he directly got off the carriage following Kui Guang's instructions and plunged into the mountains amidst the puzzled glances of Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
Huang Yao asked in confusion, "Senior brother, what's that kid doing? Isn't he courting death since the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider is in the mountains?"
Hu Tian, however, sneered, "Better if he's dead. If I knew his origins, I would have already made a move to kill him and take away the Zhi family remnants."
"Let's not rush, let's see for now. When the time is right, we will take action against the Zhi family remnants."
Huang Yao nodded, admiring Hu Tian's clever means.
The Black Wind Sect, nominally a righteous sect, and coupled with the death of the Guard Commander at this moment, with Hu Tian and Huang Yao being the highest cultivations among the group, it was inevitable that they took over the Demon Beast Convoy's guardianship, escorting everyone away from this mountain range.
With Hu Tian and Huang Yao, the martial artists in the cabin secretly felt relieved, believing that they would surely leave safely.
A night passed just like that, and the Jiuyin Poisonous Spider did not appear anymore, causing everyone's tension to slowly relax.
Some even noticed that Chu Nan had left the convoy, and since only Zhi Qingge was in the front cabin, a few people jointly said to Hu Tian and Huang Yao:
"Several young heroes of the Black Wind Sect, since you come from a legendary sect, you should hold up justice. Why are you not slaying the Zhi family remnants when she is right here?"
Clearly, some continued to harbor grievances over Zhi Qingge's presence, and after witnessing Hu Tian and Huang Yao's strength, they felt no fear of Chu Nan and began to plot.
Hu Tian was secretly delighted, feeling that with so much support perhaps he could act sooner.
But his face still showed difficulty as he said, "That Zhi family remnant did save us after all, attacking now would mean taking advantage of her vulnerability, wouldn't it?"
Huang Yao added at that moment, "We are all from noble righteous sects; how could we do such a thing?"
However, the martial artists in the cabin persuaded, "The Zhi family remnant carries Demon Blood and could go berserk and kill at any moment. Killing her is also an act of justice."
"Moreover, she possibly saved us only to use it against us."
"Anyone with Demon Blood cannot be anything good. Killing her is not wrong."
Seeing everyone's support, Hu Tian was inwardly pleased.
The Black Wind Sect had previously slain the Zhi family remnants, discovering that refining their Demon Blood could greatly benefit themselves.
Plus, Zhi Qingge's appearance was stunning, and Hu Tian and Huang Yao had long been unable to resist.
Seeing that everyone supported them, Hu Tian was instantly moved and said, "Since everyone feels this way, my brother and I will act on behalf of justice!"
With that said, Hu Tian and Huang Yao made the Demon Beast Convoy stop, then walked to the cabin where Zhi Qingge was.
Hu Tian lifted the curtain and said to Zhi Qingge inside, "Zhi family remnant, your forebears committed heinous crimes in the Qin Kingdom. Today, you should repay your debt."
"I advise you to surrender now and return with us to the Black Wind Sect; perhaps your punishment can be lighter, otherwise..."
Huang Yao drew his sharp sword, pointing it at Zhi Qingge and said, "Death!"
Zhi Qingge had long anticipated this scene, already cold-hearted towards these people, so she said with a cold expression, "If you're going to kill, then kill. Why waste so much breath?"
"But before you kill me, you should weigh it in your mind. If I unleash the power of my Demon Blood, how many of you will survive?"
Zhi Qingge slowly got up, with a mad look in her eyes. After days of healing, she had returned to her peak state.
Though she was unwilling to use Demon Blood, she didn't mind using it to intimidate them.
She had often used this trick to escape many crises before.
Sure enough, as soon as she said this, a trace of hesitation appeared on the faces of Hu Tian and Huang Yao.
The Zhi family ancestor, when their Demon Blood went out of control, although losing their sanity, their strength skyrocketed, and even battling three of the best in the Qin Kingdom they were still not at a disadvantage.
If Zhi Qingge went crazy, even if she could be subdued, not many people here might survive.
Those who had urged Hu Tian and Huang Yao to kill Zhi Qingge instantly backed down: "Two young heroes, maybe let it go for now. She did save us after all..."
When it came to their own lives, they no longer talked about justice.
But Hu Tian and Huang Yao thought otherwise. If Zhi Qingge unleashed her Demon Blood and became stronger, they thought she would hardly harm them. It would be others who died, not them.
Hence, Hu Tian said righteously, "What fear of death? For eliminating the Zhi family remnants, my death would not be regretted!"
Huang Yao eagerly echoed.
Zhi Qingge's eyes were cold as ice, secretly clenching her fists. If truly forced too hard, she would indeed unleash the Demon Blood to kill these hypocrites.
However, just when the tension peaked, Chu Nan's voice drifted over, "Your old habits are cropping up again, do you really want to die?"
