Chapter 347: The Sensation
At that moment, Liang Yan seemed to sense something. He was jolted awake from his meditation and suddenly lifted his head to look outside the courtyard, his eyes flashing with astonishment.
Heart-Devouring Insect!
Ever since the fall of the Kuiyin Sect, it had been a long time since Liang Yan last felt the fluctuations of a Heart-Devouring Insect.
The Kuiyin Sect had already possessed very few Heart-Devouring Insects to begin with. After the sect collapsed and its high-ranking members were nearly wiped out, the remaining insects had scattered, their whereabouts unknown.
The Venomous Gu Art created by the Founder Kuiyin refined Heart-Devouring Insects into gu, which were divided into three parts: Planting the gu, controlling the gu, and releasing the gu. If one did not know the method of release, those afflicted by a Heart-Devouring Insect were almost doomed with no cure!
This Venomous Gu Art was extremely insidious and a closely guarded secret within the Kuiyin Sect. Only the Founder Kuiyin's direct disciples or those highly valued by the sect were given the opportunity to learn it.
Even ordinary Foundation Building disciples were unqualified.
Yue Wu had long been granted access to this art. He had diligently managed the Kuiyin Sect’s external affairs on behalf of Sect Leader Yi, even at the cost of his own cultivation progress.
Although Liang Yan had never been officially qualified to learn the Venomous Gu Art, he had a close relationship with Yue Wu. He often assisted Yue Wu and acted as his right-hand man, so he had managed to learn the method of controlling gu from him.
At that time, he had only been at the Qi Refining Realm, yet a Foundation Building cultivator under the control of a Heart-Devouring Insect was utterly submissive to him, not daring to disobey in the slightest.
After the Kuiyin Sect was destroyed, its disciples scattered in a desperate bid for survival, with only a handful making it out alive. Ironically, those who had once been controlled by the Heart-Devouring Insects were the ones who benefited from the sect’s downfall, regaining their freedom.
