Chapter 404: Let Him Continue His Madness

"Can Wu Ya be saved?"

As a Venom Handler without any Venom Bugs, Wu Song was in a dangerous situation. If he didn't quickly eliminate this person, he might end up dead himself.

But at this moment, Hu Ma approached him, or rather, as a Year-End Guardian, he got close to him. In that instant, if Hu Ma wanted to kill him, he didn't know how many times he could do it. The entire night was the most perilous, and this was the only moment of respite.

However, he suddenly stopped chanting, and all his defenses seemed to have vanished. Under his calm gaze, infinite waves arose, and his eyes fixed on Hu Ma.

"Her soul hasn't completely dissipated; it's just suppressed."

Hu Ma slowly released the hand holding the bamboo flute and, facing Wu Song's eyes, spoke in a low voice, "If we can find the right method to help her, remove the Dark Empyrean's poison, and then nurture her divine soul with the Golden Heavenly Emperor, there's a chance to bring her back."

"...It's the real her, not a crazy person influenced by the Dark Empyrean!"

After saying these words, he stared fixedly at Monkey Wine, his attitude sincere, and his heart held a hint of apprehension, unsure of this guy's reaction.

When he entered the manor, he enjoyed the offerings of the Dark Empyrean and also felt the dense information. Like the tide retreating from the beach, it seemed to leave nothing behind, yet traces remained, giving Hu Ma a sharp intuition about Wu Ya's condition.

Under the coercion of Wugong Clan Leader, Wu Ya had consumed too much Dark Empyrean, and her divine soul had been completely destroyed by the Shaman God's mystic power. In theory, she was indeed beyond saving, and it could even be said that her entire being had been transformed into a curse.

The reason Monkey Wine was so eager to kill was that he was an expert in cultivating toads. After trying just now, he knew there was no hope of saving her.

When it came to cultivating toads, Hu Ma was not as skilled as Monkey Wine. However, Hu Ma knew that Wu Ya still had a glimmer of hope because he had already enjoyed the Dark Empyrean in this valley, and what Wu Ya had swallowed was the remainder.

It was like a sacrificial offering to ancestors; if a living person ate it, it would taste bland and flavorless.

Wu Ya, having consumed this Dark Empyrean, also had some dilution, and her situation wasn't as hopeless as it appeared on the surface. Of course, this sliver of hope could only be perceived by Hu Ma, who had also enjoyed the Dark Empyrean.

"Remove the Dark Empyrean's poison and nurture her divine soul with the Golden Heavenly Emperor?"

Surprisingly, Hu Ma gave this response, but Wu Song didn't show any signs of excitement.

He quietly observed Hu Ma, a madman with exceptionally clear and bright eyes. He listened to Hu Ma's words without asking too many questions, such as how Hu Ma figured it out or why he was so confident.

He stared fixedly at Hu Ma's eyes, paused for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Why are you willing to come and save Wu Ya?"

'To keep a dog leash tied around your neck...'

Hu Ma thought to himself, but his expression was one of relief. He sincerely replied, "Because she also saved us."

"Earlier, in the forest, she helped us. She's a kind girl."

"..."

As Wu Song listened, his pupils seemed to darken, and a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. He nodded lightly, "She is indeed."

Looking at the expression on his face, Hu Ma felt a bit dazed. Monkey Wine was so crazy and bizarre, but now, seeing the smile on his face, he seemed so pure.

Seeing such a smile, even Hu Ma found it strange. Who would have thought that the person who had just smiled like this, without a single frown, had killed his entire clan and used their flesh and blood to nurture so many bizarre and strange Venom Bugs?

In that smile, he suddenly retracted the bamboo flute in his hand, twirled it, and once again extended it towards Wu Ya's face. But this time, instead of killing, a centipede crawled out of the flute and quickly burrowed into Wu Ya's ear.

Even though she was already restrained, she still stared with wide eyes and tensed her arms, as if she were constantly on the verge of madness. Suddenly, her body trembled, and then gradually, she lowered her head, seemingly having lost her sanity.

"You..."

Hu Ma couldn't help but shiver as he watched the large centipede crawl into her ear.

"This is the Hundred-Foot Curse Bug, which can cause memory confusion and loss."

Monkey Wine calmly explained, "She just witnessed me killing my entire clan. Even if she is saved, she might go crazy and seek revenge on me, and her condition might be even worse than it is now."

"So, I sent this curse bug into her body to protect her and also make her forget what happened during this time, to avoid causing trouble for each other."

"..."

"?"

Hu Ma was stunned by what he heard. Was this guy always so decisive in his actions? Either he was lost in confusion or he just went ahead and did it?

No, if Wu Ya were truly saved, there was a possibility that she would go crazy and seek revenge on him. But now, even before knowing if she could be saved, he had already thought of this step and even executed it?

However, since he had done this, it also meant that as soon as he heard that Wu Ya could be saved, he had immediately and decisively made the decision to rescue her?

"As for you..."

Monkey Wine turned to look at Hu Ma while speaking, and the bamboo flute in his hand seemed to have a hole aimed at him. Hu Ma quickly shook his head, "I don't need it."

"I'm asking if you want me to help you remove the curse..."

Monkey Wine had no choice but to patiently explain, "Just now, thirteen different curses have already been cast upon you."

Hu Ma gasped and nodded, "Yes, please!"

Monkey Wine nodded and said, "It's done."

'This guy, even just standing next to him, makes one feel a bit eerie and uncomfortable all over...'

Hu Ma let out a low sigh, then raised his head to look at Monkey Wine, "If you're also willing to save Wu Ya, that kind girl, there are only two ways. The simplest one is to take her to find a master from the Soul Punishment Sect. They might have a way to save her."

"Then..."

There seemed to be a certain sense of detachment about Wu Song, as if he was both there and not there. He said indifferently, "Do you know anyone from the Soul Punishment Sect?"

Hu Ma was taken aback and shook his head, "No, you'll have to find them yourself. And if you do, you'll need to find a true master from the Soul Punishment Sect, one with exceptional abilities. Ordinary ones probably won't be of much help."

Hu Ma knew someone from the Soul Punishment Sect, a sweet potato seller, but should he introduce them? If these two met, wouldn't they be as dangerous as a nuclear bomb?

Indeed, after hearing the first question, Monkey Wine didn't waste any time. He looked directly at Hu Ma and slowly said, "Then, what's the second method?"

"Stay here with me."

Hu Ma looked at Monkey Wine seriously and said, "I'll find a way to cure her. You just need to wait..."

"Of course, you'll have to pay the consultation fee!"

Someone like Monkey Wine couldn't be relied upon to introduce Sweet Potato Seller, so it was best to associate himself with him as much as possible. This guy had a strong sense of practicality and might be of great use in the future.

"You..."

Monkey Wine seemed slightly surprised, then slowly asked, "How confident are you that you can save Wu Ya?"

"I can't guarantee it!"

If it were anyone else, facing a person like Monkey Wine and such a question, they would probably answer nervously. But Hu Ma was straightforward, "I can only assure you that she can be saved, and I'll do my best. Whether she can be fully cured or not, it's up to fate!"

Monkey Wine suddenly fell silent. After a while, he smiled and glanced at Hu Ma, "Now that it's you, I'm relieved."

If he had continued asking, Hu Ma had prepared answers, but he didn't expect that after smiling at Hu Ma, Monkey Wine suddenly seemed to relax. He lightly spun the flute in his hand, and the surrounding vines loosened, gently lowering Wu Ya to the ground.

Then, he sighed softly, his eyes on Wu Ya, but speaking to Hu Ma, "The Dark Empyrean is a very dangerous thing. It has its own consciousness, so be careful when you save Wu Ya."

"Hmm?"

Hu Ma was a bit curious and looked up at him.

There were many questions he wanted to ask, but considering this was reality, he could only endure for now. He would wait until they reached the Life Spirit Temple to ask him in detail.

As for Wu Song, or Monkey Wine, after saying this, he showed no intention of staying. He walked straight along the small path in the valley and slowly entered the forest.

Hu Ma watched until he disappeared, then finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"You..."

Seeing that Wu Song had indeed left, Old Abacus and the others finally hurried over from a distance.

When they arrived, seeing the ground covered in insects and Wu Ya unconscious, they were all shocked and surrounded Hu Ma, "What did you just say to that sorcerer?"

"Why did he suddenly retreat?"

"..."

Just now, the place was dangerous, filled with insects, and they didn't dare approach. They only saw the young sorcerer's cruelty, killing countless people, fighting with the Wugong Clan Leader, and finally trying to kill his sister, but Hu Ma stopped him.

After a quick exchange, the young sorcerer put down his sister and left without looking back.

"I just told him about the internal conflicts among sorcerers, and it's none of our business. But this sorcerer's sister saved our lives in the forest; she's our benefactor, and we must help her."

Hu Ma looked at them and said, "He listened and got scared, so he left her here and left."

"..."

Everyone was left speechless by his words. Was the cruel sorcerer being reasonable?

Hu Ma smiled and didn't explain further, "Help her back to the house. I'll take a look at her later. Once she's cured, the sorcerer's issue will be resolved."

Knowing that the matter wasn't over, after dealing with the sorcerer, the One Coin Sect was still here. So, he straightened his clothes and turned to look at the other side, where Mr. Sun was bowing repeatedly towards the red lantern on the pagoda gate, "Lady Red Lantern, I, an old man, have intruded without realization. I beg for your forgiveness for my mistake, and I will offer three sacrifices and six animals to show my gratitude for your mercy..."

"..."

Amused, Hu Ma led his group forward and bowed from a distance, "Old sir, it seems like the flood has washed away the Dragon King's temple..."
