Chapter 1033: Chapter 1033: Clan Leader, Please Help Xia Wu

In fact, both the Xia Clan and the Ning Clan have studied Medical Poison Skill, but the Ning Clan’s research is more thorough, and the Wu Clan is actually a branch of the Ning Clan. However, Ning Shiqi wouldn’t say this in front of Xia Wu.

"The poison she was afflicted with is called the Disturbing Emotional Gu. It is one of the least conspicuous types of Gu Worms but can easily manipulate a person’s emotions. This Gu Worm is as fine as mycelium and has almost no presence. Even once inside a person’s body, they wouldn’t feel anything. Yet it burrows into the nerves, gradually affecting and controlling a person’s emotions. Over time, they become completely controlled, hardly aware of what they are doing or have done, and become irritable and quick to anger. Even if they realize something is wrong, it’s difficult to detect."

Or rather, it cannot be detected at all.

"This type of Gu Worm is also unique in that it comes in many levels. Each level has a different lifespan and affects people for different durations. The shortest lifespan ranges from about twenty minutes to an hour, while the longest can last several months, but never more than a year. Once its lifespan ends, it will automatically disappear, and even the most skilled medical practitioners cannot find any flaws, but the damaged nerves remain damaged. Moreover, if this Gu Worm has been inside the body for over a year, it will drain a person’s spirit, turning them into a fool, and many people consequently experience hallucinations, leading themselves to destruction. In summary, it’s extremely frightening, so... if they don’t want to be lethal, they generally won’t use the most advanced Gu Worms. Cultivating these Gu Worms isn’t easy either."

"I understand. Su Huan probably had a very low-level Gu Worm, so he wasn’t aware of what he did for a short time before regaining clarity. Is that right?" Han Jing asked.

Ning Shiqi hadn’t seen Su Huan, so he couldn’t be sure, but based on Han Jing’s description, that seemed about right.

He nodded: "Perhaps that’s the case."

Han Jing pointed to Xia Wu: "And what about her? Is there a way to remove the Gu Worm from her body?"

Ning Shiqi pondered for a moment before nodding: "Yes, but it’s a bit troublesome."

Currently, Xia Wu has temporarily regained her senses and has roughly realized that something had been off with her for a while. She hurriedly bowed to Ning Shiqi: "Please, young master, help me. I will surely repay you for your great kindness in the future."

Afraid that Ning Shiqi wouldn’t agree, she pleaded with Su Yu: "Clan Leader, please, for the sake of... Xia Wu being a member of the Xia Clan, help her."

Han Jing was quite curious: "How did you know that he is the Clan Leader of the Xia Clan?"

Xia Wu was momentarily stunned, probably not expecting Han Jing to ask such a question. She explained: "The bloodline of the Xia Clan has always recognized only the direct lineage leader as the Clan Leader. Although I’m not clear on many things, I have heard that when the Futu Realm was established, besides ordinary people, several branch lines of the Direct Lineage of the Divine Clan were brought to the Futu Realm. But regardless, as one with the Xia Clan’s bloodline, as long as you have the blood of the Xia Clan flowing in your veins, you revere the Xia Clan’s Clan Leader’s totem."
