Transportation there was underdeveloped; the only mode of transport was by bus, and the Miao village was just a short distance away.

The bus was packed with all sorts of people, young and old. There were elderly people carrying groceries to sell in the city, and students on school break heading home to visit their families. The bus windows were tightly closed, the air was stagnant, and the smells of sweat, leather seats, and snacks fermented in the small space, causing many people to feel dizzy and experience motion sickness.

Many people were slumped in their chairs, dozing off.

A woman who looked to be in her forties sat in the back of the bus, wearing a large, black hat that cast shadows on her face. She hadn’t said a word after boarding. Between her feet was a large, square, black suitcase.

The college student next to her looked at the box with some curiosity in his heart.

The woman seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and immediately looked at him with a dark and sharp gaze, like that of a venomous king cobra.

He then noticed that the woman’s eyes were completely red. Goodness, this was the first time he’d ever seen conjunctivitis.

The college student shuddered, scratched his face in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, and asked, “Um… Auntie, your suitcase looks really nice. What’s inside?”

“It’s none of your business,” the woman said coldly. “Curiosity can kill, you know that?”

College Student: “……”

The college student looked away, speechless. It was just a box, why was she acting so arrogant?

If  she didn’t want to tell him, then he didn’t want to know either.

He thought that to himself as he was complaining inside, but he didn’t dare to actually argue with this creepy auntie, so he just said, “Oh, okay.”

He then turned his head to the side, leaned against the window, closed his eyes, and pretended to go to sleep.

The witch turned her head away, sat up straight, and looked at the road ahead through the large windshield of the bus. Her already red eyes became even redder.

She didn’t care about the organization’s mission; she only cared about Wei Mingyan’s family.

She had already killed that man. The Wei family had done nothing to wrong her; they didn’t even know she existed. But she still hated them.

But that woman actually removed the gu worms from so many people’s bodies… How despicable!

Just then, her phone rang. When she picked it up, she saw it was a call from Zhu Xiu, the chief dispatcher.

After the call connected, a deep male voice came through, “Did you succeed?”

The usually arrogant witch gritted her teeth, her voice hoarse, “No. She even saved that guy surnamed Wang.”

Zhu Xiu frowned slightly, gripped the phone tightly, and the smile that had been on his face gradually disappeared.

The Green Mountain Ghost King was a pawn that Youdu had painstakingly planted in the Underworld. They supported him, and in return, he stirred up chaos in the Underworld—a mutually beneficial partnership with excellent momentum. The Green Mountain Ghost King cultivated a body that balanced yin and yang, making him virtually invincible in the Underworld; any yin deity would suffer greatly before him.

As a result, this incredibly powerful person was defeated in a small Daoist temple, just like Qian Weilai.

Fang Ruoshui, the Corpse Driver, Qian Weilai, the Green Mountain Ghost King… all the important pawns stationed in Nancheng were uprooted like fallen leaves in autumn, and all of them fell into the hands of one person, resulting in heavy losses  to the organization.

Youdu was slapped hard. In order to retaliate against that person, the leader sent the gu witch to activate the chess piece, Old Master Wang.

As a result, that person easily dealt with that ancient gu, the worm-bird heart gu. Without even giving them a chance to cause a major uproar, it was directly pinned to the ground.

That woman streamed live online and had countless fans. Much of her information was known to the public, but she herself was surrounded by mystery.

How did she learn these skills? And how did she become so strong?

“I understand,” Zhu Xiu said in a deep voice. “Since your gu worms are ineffective against her, there’s no point in you staying there. The leader has heard that you can develop the worm-bird heart gu and is very interested in this. You should come back to see him quickly.”

“Alright.” The witch remained calm and composed. “However, I need to go home.”

“Is it to the Miao territory?”

‘That is so. “

The witch hung up the phone, gazing at the scenery outside the window, her eyes flickering. As she drew closer to her hometown, the blood in her veins began to boil.

That was her hometown, which she had left many years ago. It was there that she learned how to use witchcraft, and it was also there that she first used witchcraft on someone else.

Because her natal gu was biting her body, causing her great pain, she took a liking to a little girl in the village and gave her her natal gu, which would allow her to relax for a while.

She wasn’t a humane person and didn’t feel that it was cruel at all. She gave her a pancake, which the other person happily accepted, and that night the little girl developed a high fever and fell into a coma, barely clinging to life.

As a result, the mother caused a huge uproar in the village, even threatening to throw excrement at her grandmother’s grave if the gu insects weren’t taken back. She had no choice but to take them back.

She didn’t have a deep grasp of the worm-bird heart gu, and her talent wasn’t as good as her grandmother’s. After she dug out Wei Mingyan’s father’s heart, she almost killed the heart and the gu worms inside. It wasn’t until recently that she fully understood the insights left by her grandmother and became proficient in controlling the worm-bird heart gu.

She was going to visit her grandmother’s grave to tell her the good news.

She was incredibly excited at the thought, but then a commotion suddenly came from outside the window. Many people in black uniforms gathered around the car.

“Stop the bus!”
