After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Afterward, the Ghost Controlling Sect was in chaos.

Lin Mubai, wielding two machetes, challenged people everywhere, chasing and hacking at the true disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect.

Jiang Chen would go out every day, then capture two odd-looking female disciples of the Ghost Sect and hand them over to Xiao Hongyi for poison testing.

Zhang Hu’s behavior became somewhat strange. He was nowhere to be seen all day, and it was unclear what he was busy with.

At some point, rumors of disappearances began to circulate within the Ghost Controlling Sect, and the number of missing people continued to grow.

Out of necessity, the Hall of Enforcement of the Ghost Controlling Sect took action.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They first approached Jiang Chen, asking him to restrain himself and stop abducting Demonic Sect women.

“Is that so? Which eye of yours saw me doing such a thing?” Jiang Chen blatantly lied.

Many disciples of the Hall of Enforcement testified that they had seen it with their own eyes.

“Then I’ll gouge out your eyes!” Jiang Chen became furiously embarrassed.

In the end, he beat up all the disciples of the Hall of Enforcement and sent them running.

The disciples were furious! It was simply too arrogant and too inhumane!

Even the Demonic Sect had rules, okay?

If it were someone else, they would have been subjected to the punishment of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Devouring Heart long ago, but Jiang Chen had too strong a backing, and even the sect master didn’t dare to act rashly!

Helplessly, the disciples of the Hall of Enforcement had no choice but to turn to Xiao Hongyi.

In their view, Xiao Hongyi, as Jiang Chen’s master and the legitimate daughter of the Central Domain Xiao family, surely had to take some responsibility, right?

But to their surprise, the dozen or so Hall of Enforcement disciples who went to find Xiao Hongyi never returned.

All were detained by Xiao Hongyi and became her guinea pigs for poison testing!

“This is outrageous, too outrageous!”

After learning of this, the sect master of the Ghost Controlling Sect, Tu Zheng, was infuriated.

The behavior of Jiang Chen and others, was it that of guests?

They were clearly there to cause trouble!

It had only been a little over ten days since Jiang Chen and the others joined the Ghost Controlling Sect.

But because of Jiang Chen and the others, dozens of people had been injured or fallen into a coma.

What’s more, a disciple reported that recently, a hundred disciples who went out from the Ghost Controlling Sect had gone missing.

This situation had put everyone in the Ghost Controlling Sect on edge.

If they didn’t handle it, morale would collapse!

“Huff!”

Tu Zheng exhaled a turbid breath slowly, his eyes slightly closed, his divine consciousness enveloping the entire Ghost Controlling Sect.

Soon, he found the culprit.

……

Meanwhile, at night, Zhang Hu was busy with something in a narrow cave while holding a book.

In front of him were several Ghost Controlling Sect cultivators, male and female, with their cultivation sealed and their faces turning purple.

He was conducting experiments in the art of poison!

The way of the poison was different from others. It required understanding various poisons and their effects and finding antidotes through constant experimentation.

To taste a hundred poisons is to solve a hundred poisons.

Only by repeating this process could one become a Postnatal Poison Body!

This was his goal.

Since Jiang Chen had told him to go ahead and do his thing as long as he didn’t kill anyone, he often took advantage of the still of the night to abduct people for his experiments.

Putting down the book in his hand, Zhang Hu fed some purple powder to a seemingly normal cultivator.

“Ah!!”

Instantly, the cultivator screamed in agony.

Zhang Hu watched as the person’s blood flowed in reverse, blood oozed from all seven orifices, and then fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

He frowned.

“It doesn’t make sense. According to the diary, this substance should turn a person into an idiot, so why does this person still seem to be conscious? Could it be that the dosage isn’t enough?” he muttered to himself.

After saying that, he forced more of the powder into the mouth of the cultivator who was already in agony.

“Ah!!”

The cultivator screamed again.

This scream was clearly different from the last one, mixed with a hint of stupefaction and madness.

Zhang Hu was overjoyed!

After using more than a dozen cultivators, he finally found the right dosage.

Next, he was going to start the detoxification process.

As long as the detoxification was successful, he could take it himself and take the first step towards the Postnatal Poison Body!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and Zhang Hu looked at the book again.

“This purple powder is made from the Purple Vine Poison. To detoxify, one must use something intensely hot to expel it,” he murmured to himself.

Something intensely hot?

He pondered. His sixth-grade spirit fire could be used for alchemy, so naturally, it was something intensely hot.

As long as he controlled the spirit fire well, he could detoxify without harming the person!

Zhang Hu’s mind stirred. Then, a cluster of green flames emerged from his fingertips and transformed into tiny serpentine flames that entered the unconscious cultivator’s body.

He held his breath and concentrated, fully focused on controlling the green fire.

But suddenly, a deep roar suddenly erupted.

“Zhang Hu!!”

Zhang Hu shuddered, his hand trembling.

“Sizzle—”

The green fire flared up, instantly turning the cultivator into black ash.

“Uhh…”

Looking towards the approaching Tu Zheng and the many elders and disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect, Zhang Hu scratched his head and said, “Would you believe me if I say it wasn’t on purpose?”

The answer he got was a single sentence.

“Take him away!”

……

The next morning.

The news that Zhang Hu had been captured by the Ghost Controlling Sect’s sect master and was under trial reached Jiang Chen’s ears.

Jiang Chen was thrilled.

The reason he had incited Zhang Hu and others to act recklessly was to wait for this moment.

Bullying the ordinary disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect was satisfying, but ultimately, it was a small-time affair.

From the beginning, he wanted to take advantage of the sect’s higher-ups like Tu Zheng to rake in a hefty system reward.

Of course, to prevent the Ghost Controlling Sect from making a desperate move, Jiang Chen had specifically contacted Chen Sheng to stay on alert at all times.

With this, plus the fact that Xiao Hongyi’s cultivation had been advancing rapidly and was on the verge of a breakthrough, he believed that the two of them together would definitely have enough time to get him out of there..

Of course all this was predicated on the assumption that Lin Mubai and Zhang Hu wouldn’t cause a huge disaster and forcing the Ghost Ancestor to personally intervene.

“Hehe.”

After a sinister laugh, Jiang Chen went with Xiao Hongyi to the sect master’s hall to rescue their people.

At that moment, the vast sect master’s hall was filled with many elders and disciples of the Ghost Controlling Sect.

Sect Master Tu Zheng sat on the sect master’s throne, and perhaps due to anger, his expression was almost twisted.

Zhang Hu was tied up with ropes and kneeling in the center of the hall.

This scene made Jiang Chen’s heart skip a beat.

He had a feeling that the trouble Zhang Hu had caused was far beyond his expectations.

Seeing Jiang Chen arrive, Tu Zheng reined in his anger and said, “Jiang Chen, our sect has lost over a hundred people recently! And the culprit behind this is your Junior Brother, Zhang Hu! He practices the way of the poison and uses people for his experiments!”

“What?!”

Jiang Chen was shocked!

He had anticipated Zhang Hu’s experiments, but he hadn’t expected that Zhang Hu would be so cruel.

In just a few days, he had captured a hundred people?

He was indeed walking further and further down the path of a poison Grandmaster!

“And he killed one and burned the body to erase the evidence. I saw it with my own eyes,” Tu Zheng added.

Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched.

Using people for poison experiments was one thing, but killing someone within the sect was an unforgivable crime.

No sect would tolerate it.

Realizing that things were out of control, Jiang Chen patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder and said, “Junior Brother, take care.”

With that, he turned to leave.

“Don’t go! Eldest Senior Brother!!” Zhang Hu’s desperate plea came from behind.

“You should save him. If you leave now, wouldn’t it make the people of the Ghost Controlling Sect think you’re scared?” Xiao Hongyi suggested through a voice transmission.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen paused.

It made sense! If it concerned his own reputation, he really couldn’t just leave so abruptly!

He turned back, patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder again, and said, “Junior Brother, I was just kidding. Don’t worry, no one can touch you today!”

“Senior Brother!!!”

Zhang Hu cried tears of gratitude, deeply moved.
