Chapter 579 Change of Hands

The moon was high in the sky, and in the mountains, a group of assassins were advancing towards the Sakura Garden in the mountains. However, before they reached the halfway point, they saw mist growing on the mountain road.

Light green mist floated in the air, followed by a large number of poisonous insects. For a moment, the expressions of these masters who had experienced life and death in the battles in the world changed drastically.

In the darkness, the sound of the rattling limbs of poisonous insects came from all directions, making their hearts tremble.

"careful!"

Among the crowd, someone yelled. There was fluorescent green light mixed in the mist.

When I looked closer, I saw that the fluorescent green light was a green insect that emitted a strange light and looked a bit like a firefly.

But none of these people have been in the world for a long time. How could we not know that behind this strange scene, there was the terrifying nature of this insect.

They wanted to escape, but found that their range of activities was constantly being compressed by the poisonous insects and ferocious beasts around them. Anyone who accidentally touches the glowing bug will have a spiritual fire burning from his skin, and soon seep into his blood, burning from the inside out.

In an instant, the man had been burned into a charred corpse.

"Light the fire!"

Although the operation must be stealthy, and large-scale fires will reveal their location, at this time, more and more people are falling among the insect swarms, and they cannot control so many.

These martial arts masters have never thought that so many terrible poisons would appear in this beautiful place.

Because the area around Sakura Garden in the mountains was empty, in order not to alert the enemy, they accepted the order and, as one of the backup troops, rushed into the courtyard after seeing the signal in the courtyard.

But at this time, he was trapped in this strange place.

The firelight had an effect, and those poisonous insects did not dare to continue charging under the firelight.

They were about to breathe a sigh of relief when they heard a frightened voice.

"That...that..."

"Why panic!"

Everyone looked back and saw that their companions had been submerged by poisonous insects, but they actually stood up again.

But they are obviously dead!

Frightened, he dropped the torch to the ground. The fire defense made by everyone leaked, and the poisonous insects penetrated. In an instant, two or three more people fell into the swarm of insects.

"Don't panic, this is Baiyue's poison technique!"

The crowd gathered around again and formed a defensive circle. But now, their number has shrunk a lot compared to before.

Seeing the fire getting weaker and weaker, everyone became more and more worried. They came to assassinate, and they brought few things with them. They temporarily found some dead wood and clothes as fuel, but they couldn't last long.

While everyone was anxious, a flying insect swooped into the crowd and bit the exposed skin of those who had taken off their coats.

The change happened quickly. The person bitten by the poison seemed to have lost his mind. His eyes turned white and his whole body seemed to be empty. His straight back was hunched down and his arms were hanging down, like an ape-man, revealing two sharp points. He bit his teeth towards his companion, tearing away a large piece of flesh and blood in one fell swoop.

Amidst the painful wails of his companions, the person bitten by the poisonous insect enjoyed it more and more, as if a wild beast was hunting.

Chaos erupted from the center, and the fire ring that resisted the poisonous insects was suddenly broken. The poisonous insects rushed in fiercely, and the remaining people fell to the ground, and soon merged with the silent night.

In the distance, King Baidu stood on a high hill, looking at the handiwork of his disciples and smiling slightly.

A large number of corpse soldiers were controlled and came here. Those martial arts masters who died after being bitten by poisonous insects on the ground quickly turned into mummy. They were manipulated to stand up and mingled with these corpses under the guidance of people.

The Exorcist walked up the hill and glanced at the King of Poisons.

"Have you solved everything here?"

"The fifty-eight masters of the Linchuan Sect are all here, just like the information."

"I have forty-five over there, and they're all the same."

The King of Hundred Poisons smiled. As members of Niqusha, they had been hiding in the abyss for all these years. They don't have much sense of identity with these martial arts masters in Guanzhong. But at this time, I was still a little surprised.

"The prince who is the enemy of the Lord, never thought that he could use so many martial arts masters?"

"Without a few moments, the Lord would not have summoned us from the abyss to deal with them!"

Although there are only a few members of Counter-Liquid Sand, they are all good at large-scale area attacks, and they are also capable of reconnaissance, infiltration, and assassination. Although the number is small, they can deal with opponents who far outnumber them with ease.

In particular, the two voodoo sects represented by the King of Hundred Poisons and the Exorcist Demon are even better at positional warfare.

"We've solved it here, but there should be some trouble over there with Wushuang Ghost."

With that said, the corpse exorcist controlled the corpse soldiers on the battlefield and headed towards another battlefield.

"Linchuan Sect, Hundred Weapons Sect, Beimo Dao Sect... there are forty-seven rivers and lakes forces, big and small. Although some of them are small and inconspicuous sects, when they are gathered together, they are still a huge force."

In the cherry garden in the mountains, Zhao Shuang faced a group of assassins and said slowly.

After a large number of soldiers dealt with the assassins who rushed into the mansion, they came towards the auditorium.

This is where Zhao Shuang is located, and it is also where the largest number of assassins gather.

Seeing that he was surrounded, but foreign aid was delayed in coming. The leader of those martial arts masters smiled softly.

"Zhao Shuang, what did you do? Where is our help?"

The head of Linchuan Sect is a middle-aged man, but he is born with white hair and piercing eyes.

Zhao Shuang didn't answer, but asked instead.

"As far as I know, you were adopted and raised by the former head of Linchuan Sect. Why do you want to help Lord Changping?"

"Although I was raised by the old master, I am from Chu. I sneaked into the Linchuan Gate on the orders of Lord Changping and controlled the largest political power in the North."

What the head of the Linchuan Clan didn't understand was that the Linchuan Clan was openly loyal to Zhao Shuang and had helped him conquer the Yueshi by transporting grain and grass for him.

But Zhao Shuang still had no trust in him. More importantly, they got the magical peony flowers from the farmer and mixed them into the incense in the auditorium. Obviously most people were affected, but Zhao Shuang was not affected at all.

"Mr. Changping is scheming and wants to plot rebellion, but if you follow him, why bother?"

The leader of Linchuan Sect smiled, with a look of caution on his face.

"No matter how scheming he is, he is nothing compared to Lord Hanyang!"

"Then do you know why I know so much about your plans?"

The leader of Linchuan Sect, who was about to take action, was stunned when a sharp knife pierced his heart from behind. The leader of Linchuan Sect turned his head and looked at his familiar face behind him.

"Why are you?"

"The leader wants to die, but we don't want to."

"You traitor to the Chu people!"

After uttering one sentence, the head of Linchuan Sect fell to the ground and made no sound again.

Among the assassins, a few began to rebel, causing chaos in the situation.

After losing their leader, not long after, the large group of assassins either dropped their weapons or committed suicide, and the rest fell on their knees in front of Zhao Shuang.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhao Shuang smiled, ambition revealed on his face, and looked at the corpse in front of him.

"The Chu family's decades of management are now about to change hands."
