> Noble Aspirations Recap

Lin Jingyu and Biyao had already fought against the Vampire Old Demon and Baiduzi at the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, but they had never met the Poison Young Master Qin Wuyan. Biyao guessed that the Poison Young Master might be hiding in Yudou City. Based on Yan Lie's attitude towards Jin Ping'er, Zhang Xiaofan deduced that Yan Lie was indeed the Poison Young Master Qin Wuyan. Biyao prepared to test Yan Lie to find evidence.

Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan put on the Ghost King Sect's disciples' clothes and went to Jinxiu Workshop to find Yan Lie's subordinate, requesting to see the Poison Young Master. Lin Jingyu secretly followed that person. Meanwhile, A Xiang infiltrated Jinxiu Workshop to ask Ding Ling about Yan Lie's actions after occupying Jinxiu Workshop. He told Ding Ling not to come out, no matter what happened. While Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan were waiting, the lights suddenly dimmed.

A heavily cloaked mysterious person silently entered the room. He told Biyao that the Poison God had just retreated to the Viper Valley, and if they wanted to form an alliance, they should go find the Poison God.

Biyao told him that the Ghost King Sect could not meet the conditions proposed by the Poison God, but the Ghost King Sect could do its best to help him, the Poison Young Master, rise to power and provide him with an antidote for the Ten Thousand Gu Elixir. Just as this person was a little tempted, he suddenly heard a loud bang from the backyard. He hastily forced the two back and rushed towards the backyard.

The loud bang turned out to be A Xiang, who, upon seeing the Heavenly Sound Pavilion's treasure, the Golden Light Furnace, ignored Lin Jingyu's dissuasion and rushed to take it, only to be injured by the Golden Light Furnace. The person rushed to the backyard, saw Lin Jingyu and A Xiang, who was holding the Golden Light Furnace, hurrying out, and immediately engaged in battle with Lin Jingyu. At this moment, Biyao and Zhang Xiaofan followed behind.

Biyao quickly offered her help, repelling the mysterious person, and only then did everyone hastily flee from Jinxiu Workshop. Zhang Xiaofan deduced that Yan Lie was the Poison Young Master based on the person's height and physique. Biyao believed that this impulsive action had "alerted the snake by beating the grass" (stirred up trouble and alerted the enemy).

Now, with the enemy hidden and them exposed, they could only stabilize him first, figure out what kind of poison he used, and then go to the Ghost King Sect to find someone to help deal with him. Dog Lord, who was about to return to the Ghost King Sect, went to Xiao Huan to say goodbye. He told Xiao Huan that he had been raised by dogs since childhood and offered her a dog tooth as a gift.

Xiao Huan refused to accept it, but Dog Lord insisted on giving her the dog tooth by pulling and tugging. At this moment, Lu Xueqi passed by and quickly stopped Dog Lord. Dog Lord wanted to take revenge on Lu Xueqi, but she defeated him in a few moves. Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu rushed to Biyao's residence and discovered that the expert Biyao had invited was Mr. Gui.

When Biyao saw the two of them, she quickly complained that they despised her demonic sect's actions on one hand, yet constantly asked her for help on the other. Mr. Gui believed that at this moment, human lives in Yudou City were at stake, regardless of good or evil, righteous or demonic, because Wild Dog Daoist had already been poisoned by Gu. Mr. Gui went to the City Lord's manor to take the Old City Lord's pulse and diagnose him.

Yan Lie, standing by, told him that the Old City Lord had just recovered from a serious illness, and he could not let this person of unknown origin treat the Old City Lord. The Old City Lord echoed his words. Mr. Geng (Mr. Gui) falsely claimed that the Old City Lord was in good health and did not need medicine.

It turned out that Mr. Gui discovered that City Lord Wei had been poisoned by Gu for at least five years, and combined with his advanced age, rashly trying to expel the Gu would only endanger his life. Mr. Geng (Mr. Gui) told them that as long as they found the Gu Mother, everything would be easily resolved.

Following the formation drawn by Mr. Gui, Zhang Xiaofan and the others had Zeng Shushu bring Xiao Huan for an experiment to see if they could find a way to expel the Gu worms. During this time, the two Qingyun Sect disciples analyzed that the purpose of both righteous and demonic factions gathering at Kongsang Mountain was likely for the Ten Thousand Bat Cave, especially the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, whose plan might have already begun five years ago.

At this point, Zeng Shushu brought Xiao Huan here, but unexpectedly, Xiao Huan refused to cooperate. Lin Jingyu had no choice but to ask Zhang Xiaofan to talk to Xiao Huan. City Lord Wei followed Yan Lie's suggestion and searched the entire city for the alchemical furnace. A Xiang had no choice but to entrust it to Lin Jingyu for safekeeping. Zhang Xiaofan falsely claimed to be taking Xiao Huan to see the Old City Lord.

Seeing that Xiao Huan was unwilling to cooperate, he knocked her unconscious with a palm strike and placed her into the formation. Lin Jingyu, Zeng Shushu, and A Xiang activated their powers. When Lu Xueqi arrived, she saw them circulating their energy around Xiao Huan and hastily rushed into the formation. Zeng Shushu had Zhang Xiaofan take his place and rushed into the formation to stop Lu Xueqi.

Unexpectedly, the Gu worms forced out from Xiao Huan's body drilled into their bodies. Everyone discovered that Lu Xueqi and Zeng Shushu had also been poisoned by Gu. They quickly activated their internal energy to force out the Gu worms. Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu followed the Gu worms all the way and found that they flew directly towards the Old City Lord's residence. City Lord Wei's body should be where the Gu Mother resided.

Worried about his grandfather's safety, Zeng Shushu spoke carelessly and hurt Zhang Xiaofan, who was trying to stop him. Zhang Xiaofan naturally knew the pain of losing a loved one; he could understand Zeng Shushu's state of mind at that moment and patiently advised Zeng Shushu to wait for Mr. Gui to come and expel the Gu. Mr. Gui inquired and learned that those who had been poisoned by Gu had recently only drunk water from the river.

He deduced that Yan Lie had planted the Gu in the river. Zeng Shushu hastily pleaded with Mr. Gui to save his grandfather. Yan Lie led the city guard team to surround Shanhai Garden. Biyao was about to argue with him, but Zhang Xiaofan quickly pulled her back. Yan Lie produced the City Lord's token and written order, intending to expel Biyao and these members of the demonic sect.

At this moment, Zeng Shushu, as the new City Lord, explained that all of this had nothing to do with the Ghost King Sect. Mr. Gui, not wanting to see Zeng Shushu in a difficult position, took Biyao and left Yudou City. After Mr. Gui and Biyao left Yudou City, Zeng Shushu increasingly felt that even if the Gu worms were removed, his grandfather would not be able to return to his original self.

After experiencing so much, Zeng Shushu suddenly understood the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. All the city's residents were controlled by Yan Lie because they had been poisoned by Gu. Zhang Xiaofan decided to patiently wait for Yan Lie's most arrogant and complacent moment. Unexpectedly, just as Zeng Shushu and Zhang Xiaofan arrived at the City Lord's manor, Yan Lie led his men to block them.

The Old City Lord, controlled by Yan Lie, accused Zeng Shushu of colluding with the demonic sect. Zeng Shushu argued that Yan Lie, from the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, intended to seize Yudou for himself. Yan Lie produced the green incense burner, falsely accusing Zeng Shushu of having it in his room. City Lord Wei suddenly became hysterical and loudly accused Zeng Shushu of being presumptuous.

Seeing his grandfather's pathetic state, Zeng Shushu rushed forward, determined to fight Yan Lie to the death. Yan Lie ordered his subordinates to apprehend them on the grounds that Zeng Shushu attempted to assassinate the City Lord, otherwise, they must leave Yudou City.
