Chapter 276: Western Chu's Plan

Last time, we talked about how Li Yi captured a Chu man and took him away from Dunhuang City. This man could stir up the righteousness in Li Yi's body and make him feel extremely disgusted. So who is this man? Let's read on.

Li Yi landed the "flying carpet" in a hidden place, and several people jumped off. Li Yi took the Seven Absolute Swords out of the "flying carpet", put them back into the sword box, and then put them into the sack. His Seven Absolute Swords had been trained, and he had the mind method of the Sword of Subduing Demons to help him suppress his inner demons. He no longer needed to carry the sword box all the time like before, and only needed to cultivate the Seven Absolute Swords.

The Chu man looked at Li Yi's series of operations and said in surprise: "You are Li Yi!"

"Oh, you recognized me so quickly? It seems that you Chu people are quite concerned about me?" Just as he finished speaking, the Chu man was about to commit suicide. Li Yi pinched the Taoist seal with his hands and shouted, "Seal the Soul!" The iron chain tied the man tightly, and he couldn't even move his hands and feet.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Don't be so anxious to die! Even ants try to survive, how can you abandon a living being like you? Come on, let's talk about what Xi Chu is planning?"

"Li Yuefu thinks too highly of me. I am just a cloth seller. What can I know?"

Langya took a step forward and was about to use some tricks, but Li Yi stretched out his hand to stop him, shaking his head and said, "His mouth can't be pried open with your little tricks. Yu Jiu, you come."

Yu Jiu stepped forward and touched the Chu man's forehead. He saw a fire mark spreading from his head along his meridians and soon covered his entire body. Then he nodded to Li Yi.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Then let's start with a simple question. May I ask your name, brother?"

"No name or surname! Ah!"

Yu Jiu just rubbed his fingers, and the man could feel the meridians in his body being burned. The burning sensation from the inside out made him scream in pain.

"This life is your own, brother, please speak up!"

Seeing that the Chu man was still gritting his teeth, Li Yi shook his head helplessly, waved his hand to signal Yu Jiu, Lang Ya and Zhang Biao to do what they wanted, and he stepped aside to meditate and chant.

If a person is not afraid of death, what else can he be afraid of? He would only be afraid of dying a bad death. After being tortured by Zhang Biao and others, the Chu man finally gave in.

Langya excitedly ran to Li Yi and said, "Sir, that man has spoken. His name is Li Pu, and he is from the Western Chu Wu Gu Cult."

Li Yi looked at Langya and was about to ask him why he was so excited when he was also a Chu person, but thinking that Langya and Chu probably had no feelings at all, he simply did not ask. He stood up and walked in front of Li Yu, smiling and said, "Brother Li, are you willing to talk this time?"

Li Pu panted and said, "Let me go, let me breathe, I can tell you everything I know."

"Hey, this is great. If you had cooperated earlier, you would have suffered less. Yu Jiu, take it!"

Yu Jiu snapped his fingers, and the fire mark on Li Yu disappeared. He took a long breath and said, "And this chain."

Li Yi glanced at him, put his right hand on his back, and the iron chain that bound him disappeared, turning into a red rope copper lock that returned to Li Yi's wrist. But at the moment when the restraints on his body dissipated, Li Yu immediately waved his hand and slapped himself in the face, but suddenly his whole body convulsed and he collapsed to the ground.

Li Yi raised his right hand, blew on the divine thunder seal on his palm, and said coldly: "This guy is really stubborn. He still refuses to talk even after all this. Yu Jiu, lock him up!"

Zhang Biao nodded and said, "Well, the Chu people are indeed very courageous. I have encountered this situation before. All kinds of punishments have been used, but they still did not say a word. It is really admirable."

On the other side, Langya helped Li Yu up and asked Yu Jiu to cast the Fire Pattern spell all over his body. Li Yi suddenly noticed that when Yu Jiu was casting the spell, the back of Li Yu's neck suddenly twitched. He immediately stopped Yu Jiu and said, "Wait a minute! Langya, give me the dagger."

Taking the dagger from Langya, Li Yi asked Zhang Biao and Yu Jiu to hold Li Chu down, while he used the dagger to cut open the back of his neck bit by bit. After peeling off the skin and wiping off the blood with a handkerchief, they could see clearly that there was a little finger-thick, silkworm-like pupa with six legs nailed to Li Chu's cervical vertebrae.

Li Yi said: "This must be the poisonous insect from Western Chu. I think the Chu people you captured before were not all tough. Many of them had to be tough because of this poisonous insect."

Langya frowned and said, "Master, how about we take this bug out? Then he will be able to tell the truth."

Zhang Biao shook his head and said, "That's definitely not possible. The insect's legs have penetrated into his blood vessels and meridians. If we forcibly remove the insect, he will die immediately."

Langya asked, "What should we do? If there is this bug, he won't speak. If there is no bug, he will die. How can we ask him?"

Li Yi sighed and said to Jiu: "Try burning the poisonous insect with a small fire and see if you can force it to come out by itself."

Langya curled his lips and said, "Ah? Let this bug crawl out by itself? Eh! It's disgusting just thinking about it!"

Li Yi rolled his eyes at him and said to Jiu: "You must be careful. We have finally caught him. If we kill him without asking anything, it will be a big loss! Zhang Biao holds him down, and Langya is responsible for wiping the blood."

Yu Jiu, Zhang Biao and Lang Ya nodded, and they immediately started the operation. Zhang Biao rode on Li Chu's waist, stepped on his legs, and held his arms with both hands; Yu Jiu stretched out his fingers, and a flame appeared on his fingertips; Li Yi peeled off Li Chu's skin and flesh so that Yu Jiu could see the poisonous insect directly; Lang Ya kept wiping the blood that kept flowing out with a towel.

Just when Yu Jiu was about to put his hand into the back of Li Jun's neck, Li Yi suddenly stopped him: "Wait! No, your fingers are still too thick, I'm afraid it's not safe, do you have anything thinner?"

Langya said, "Needle? Can I use a needle?"

Li Yi said, "Of course a needle will do! Do you have one?"

Langya shook his head and said, "Well, I'm not a woman. I don't do needlework, so how can I have that thing?"

Zhang Biao said, "Sir, where can we find a needle in this wilderness? Why don't we let Yu Jiu try with his finger?"

Li Yi touched the back of his neck and said, "My fingers definitely won't work. This insect is only as thick as Yu Jiu's little finger."

Langya said awkwardly: "Master, let's hurry up, otherwise he will bleed to death!"

Li Yi rubbed the back of his neck and suddenly felt a thorn on his collar. He touched it and cursed, "Fuck! Who stuck a needle in my collar? Are you trying to kill me?"

As soon as he said this, Li Yi thought of who did it! Yuehua had mended this piece of clothing before, so it must be that Yuehua put the needle through the collar when she was mending his clothes, and then she forgot about it herself.

Li Yi said viciously: "You damn girl, just wait! See how I deal with you when I get back! You are trying to murder my brother, I will give you at least twenty slaps on the hand!"

Yuehua, who was far away in Gubu, was riding a horse and following Baozhu Faluo to learn how to herd sheep. Suddenly, she sneezed twice in succession, "Ah-choo, Ah-choo!"

Baozhu Falu laughed and said, "What's wrong? Did you catch a cold? The spring on this grassland is quite cold. Why don't you go back and put on a cloak before coming back?"

Yuehua rubbed her nose and said, "No, I'm wearing a lot of clothes and I'm quite warm. I guess someone is thinking about me, maybe it's Sister Ye'er. Without me helping her sell clothes, she must be too busy, so she missed me."

Xiao Ye, who was far away in Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, was selling clothes when she suddenly sneezed. "A-choo!" She rubbed her nose and said, "Hey, who missed me? Hey, Miss Zhao, the one you picked up is a limited edition. It was designed by my brother and sewed by me. It may not be in your size. Try it on before buying!" Xiao Ye was very busy...

Let's switch back to Li Yi, who handed the needle to Yu Jiu. The latter held the needle between his fingertips and slowly approached the Gu worm on the back of Li Pu's neck. The needle in Yu Jiu's hand was already burning red. The Gu worm felt the burning and suddenly moved. Li Pu screamed and immediately struggled.

Li Yi shouted, "Hold him down! Don't let him move!"

Zhang Biao exerted his strength and directly embedded Li Pu into the soil. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. Li Yi, Yu Jiu and Lang Ya all looked at Zhang Biao with contempt. The latter said awkwardly: "This is also good. Look, he can't move now! It's not that I didn't know how to control myself."

Langya felt Li Pu's breath and said, "He's still alive!"

Li Yi said in a serious tone: "Pay attention, we have spent so much effort and time to catch a useful person, don't kill him before you can find out anything!"

Zhang Biao smiled innocently and said, "Hey, hey, I will definitely pay attention."

Then several people continued the operation. Yu Jiu once again brought the red-hot needle close to the insect. The insect was stimulated by the heat and began to wriggle, and Li Pu also began to struggle.

Zhang Biao knelt directly on his knees, held his wrists tightly with both hands, and pressed his face against his back. Although this posture was indecent, it was effective. Li Chu could no longer move.

But the insect's movements became more and more intense, and its legs were slowly pulled out from the blood vessels and meridians one by one. When all its legs were pulled out, it began to crawl out. Yu Jiu immediately picked out the insect with a needle, and the moment the needle entered the insect's body, the insect was burnt to a crisp!

As soon as the poisonous insect was taken out, Li Yi immediately put his hand on the back of Li Pu's neck and injected the power of Heavenly Soul to heal his wounds. When the blood vessels and meridians healed and the bleeding stopped, the surgical operation to remove the poisonous insect was declared over. But as to whether it was successful or not, that was hard to say, because Li Pu had fainted, naturally from the pain.

Li Yi and the others were sweating from exhaustion. They were all highly focused on this operation, fearing that there would be any mistakes. They were all lying on the ground, looking at the sky, all looking exhausted.

Langya's job was the easiest, but he was also the most nervous one, because he was just an intern, and he was afraid that if a medical accident happened, these big brothers would put the blame on him, the one who wiped the blood.

After resting for a while, Li Yi sat up and looked at Li Pu, who was lying motionless in the soil. He said to Lang Ya, "Let's go and see if he is dead. We have never removed a Gu before, and we don't know how much damage this will cause to the human body. He is our guinea pig. If he dies, I will have to chant sutras for him to be reborn."

Langya was confused by these words, but he still went to check, sniffed his breath, and felt his neck pulse, and said excitedly: "Sir, he is still alive, and his pulse is quite stable."

"Oh, that's good. Hey, can you feel a pulse?"

Langya said seriously: "No, just touch it for fun!"

Li Yi was almost angry to death. He cursed: "It's a human life after all, you are touching it for fun! You want to die! Get out of the way!" After that, Li Yi and Zhang Biao stood up and walked to Li Zhu. Zhang Biao pulled him out of the soil, and Li Yi took out a water bag from the sack and fed him some water.

Li Pu slowly woke up. He looked at the people surrounding him and asked in panic, "What are you going to do?"

Li Yi was surprised and said: "Wow, you are full of energy!"

Zhang Biao nodded and said, "Yeah, full of energy!"

Yu Jiu said, "It seems that nothing is wrong!"

Langya asked doubtfully, "Should we ask questions then?"

Several people looked at each other and nodded in unison. Then a soul-sealing lock appeared under Li Jun's feet and a fire-patterned talisman appeared on his body. Zhang Biao picked up a dagger and Lang Ya pulled out the steel needle from the burnt poisonous insect. Then these people surrounded him with a wicked smile on their faces!

"What are you doing? If you want to know something, just ask me. I'll tell you everything!"

Li Yi said sternly: "That won't work!"

Zhang Biao asked, "Where is your determination to die rather than surrender?"
