The Heart-Devouring Insect!
It was a type of Gu Insect used to control people.
Those afflicted by this Gu must regularly take an antidote to alleviate its effects, or they will suffer the agony of ten thousand poisons eating at their heart.
Even someone with a will of iron would find it hard to resist.
Even if one used medicine or Secret Techniques to mask the pain, their brain would be devoured by the out-of-control Heart-Devouring Insect.
Cao Xiong was afflicted with this Gu, yet he showed no outward signs of it. He had clearly become a Puppet of the Five Poison Sect.
'When was he compromised?'
'Under the Five Poison Sect's control, how many disloyal acts has Cao Xiong committed against the Sect over the years?'
Compared to that, who killed him was no longer so important.
In the main hall.
Pei Jingque's pretty face was grim, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
