Chapter 802: No-Thought Soul-Seizing Gu
"It really was the Tian Wei Sword Domain! Those bastards!" Xia Yuanba finished his angry outburst, then cast a glance at Yun Che's face, a faint, seemingly harmless smile at the corner of his mouth.
"You're saying this Xiao Yun is the son of Yun Qinghong and his wife?" Ye Meixie said in a cold voice. The name Yun Qinghong was little known on the Tian Xuan Continent, but among the Four Sacred Grounds, it was as thunderous as a name could be. Because he was by no means an ordinary "demon."
His son, of course, was also an extraordinary "demon."
"No, no, no," Xuanyuan Wentian slowly shook his head. "If it were only that, this grand drama would be far too boring. As for the truth of the matter, it's better we ask him ourselves."
Xuanyuan Wentian turned around, facing Xiao Yun: "In order to learn all the truth, I specially invited the renowned Ghost Sha Poison Immortal from the Ghost Sha Kingdom. The Ghost Sha Poison Immortal is known as the number one poison user on the Tian Xuan Continent, and among poisons, he is especially skilled in gu poisons."
"That is to say, this child's current state is due to being inflicted with some kind of gu poison?" Huangji Wuyu furrowed his brow slightly, seeming rather displeased with the concept of gu poison.
"Correct. This gu poison is a type that hijacks the mind. Although the method is somewhat lacking in honor, this matter involves the Huan Yao Realm and could very well be related to the safety of our Tian Xuan Continent, so it cannot be helped." Xuanyuan Wentian turned his gaze aside: "Ghost Sha Poison Immortal, this soul-seizing gu you placed — can you guarantee it is foolproof?"
"Sword Master, please be at ease ten thousand times over." The withered figure wrapped in black robes emitted a harsh, grating voice of the utmost unpleasantness: "Under this old man's No-Thought Soul-Seizing Gu, he has already lost all consciousness, his heart and soul defenseless. At this moment, no matter who asks him anything, he will answer truthfully, without a single word of falsehood or concealment. This old man has been playing with gu poisons for several hundred years. If even such a simple gu poison could fail, how could I be worthy of the title 'Ghost Sha Poison Immortal'? Heh heh heh heh..."
"Excellent." Xuanyuan Wentian nodded slowly. "Then this Sword Master will question him personally. I believe that what we extract from his mouth will surely give everyone a great surprise."
Yun Che: "…………"
Xiao Yun stood there dazed and blank, his eyes open but as dull as dead fish eyes, like a living corpse without a soul.
His current state was exactly the same as when one is afflicted by Arcane Firmament Soul-Seizing — completely stripped of all spiritual defenses.
But the difference was that Arcane Firmament Soul-Seizing would naturally dissipate over time. However, once struck with this gu poison, unless the caster removed it, the victim would remain like this for life. Truly the height of viciousness!
