The stall displayed various creepy Gu insects, housed in specially made boxes or cages, some of which glowed with a ghostly light.
Others emitted faint hissing sounds. Behind this seemingly ordinary transaction lurked countless schemes and plots.
Upon investigation, Shi Feiyang learned that the Five Poison Sect had come to Shanxi to commit atrocities in their bid to seize territory. They not only sold Gu insects but also abducted children and crazily sold them to Japanese pirates with the delusion of improving the pirates' genetics, acts that were heinous beyond words.
Shi Feiyang felt the matter was tricky, so he instructed Xie Wen, Xiang Kun, Lu Dechu, and Jiang Huotian to disguise themselves and blend into the crowd to explore the black market for Gu insects. He and Yili, dressed as scholars, wandered through the noisy market with over a dozen disciples from the Heroic Sakura Association.
