’Sha Chen’ hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the other spider spirits who had already finished their water and dates, and seemed perfectly fine.
Only then did she pick up her cup, drank it all in one gulp, and in front of everyone, ate the dates as well.
She did not heed Sha Chen’s advice to neither eat nor drink, because she was confident in her unique constitution and not afraid of poison.
However, as soon as she ate them, she felt it. The dates were poisoned.
She glanced at her sisters and saw their expressions were as usual. It seemed that what they had eaten was fine.
Although she didn’t know the potency of the poison in the dates she consumed, she still pretended to collapse.
The other spider spirits were shocked and turned pale, while the master of Huanghua Temple burst into laughter.
"I’ve finally taken you down. All the effort I put into these poisoned dates wasn’t in vain," he said.
Upon hearing this, the other spider spirits were shocked and immediately drew their swords, brimming with anger.
The centipede spirit said, "Sisters, don’t worry. Although the dates are poisoned, they are not lethal. They only take away his ability to resist."
"Moreover, sisters, what are you doing? I’m helping you. With him down, you’ll be free," he added.
Of course, he couldn’t mention that Bodhisattva Pilanpo had visited him in a dream, as, after all, the Bodhisattva did not promise the spider spirits the Arhat Position.
The spider spirits were beside themselves with rage, saying, "General for Folding the Curtain has been very good to us, treating us with immense kindness. We will not let you harm him."
The master of Huanghua Temple furrowed his brow. "Aren’t you controlled by him? Why do you care so much about his well-being?"
The spider spirits exchanged glances, unsure whether they should reveal their relationship with Sha Chen at this moment.
The master of Huanghua Temple couldn’t care less at this point and said, "Regardless, I’ve already taken the man down. I won’t take his life—I just want him to join me on the same path."
The spider spirits asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The master of Huanghua Temple replied, "I want him to become a demon."
The spider spirits were even more furious at this.
"General for Folding the Curtain is naturally noble and untainted by the world. Despite our repeated seductions, he never once strayed from his initial resolve. How can you, Senior Brother, force him to do something he doesn’t want to do?" they protested.
"He aspires to be an immortal, not a demon. We implore you, Senior Brother, to cure him of the poison and let General for Folding the Curtain go free," they pleaded.
The master of Huanghua Temple was furiously incredulous. Had these women gone mad!?
He yelled, "Don’t forget, you all are demons too. How dare you look down on demons?"
The second sister among the spider spirits retorted, "It’s precisely because we are demons that we understand our Elder Brother’s feelings. Even we seek every possible way to become human—let alone our Elder Brother, who is originally an immortal."
The master of Huanghua Temple was shocked and enraged. "Elder Brother? What Elder Brother? What’s your relationship with this guy? Why do you call him Elder Brother?"
The spider spirits froze for a moment, and panic set in as their identities were exposed.
But in this critical moment, they couldn’t care less anymore.
They stood up proudly and said, "Yes, we are deeply honored by the General for Folding the Curtain’s undeserved kindness in acknowledging us as his sisters, and we will absolutely not let you harm our Elder Brother."
The eldest sister said, "Senior Brother, if you intend to harm our Elder Brother, then from now on, you will no longer be our Senior Brother but an enemy."
The master of Huanghua Temple laughed out of sheer anger. "Ridiculous! He’s already consorting with you, and you still say he’s not a demon?"
The spider spirits responded, "No, it’s us who are reaching for the heights. He remains an immortal."
The master of Huanghua Temple said, "Fine, fine, fine. It’s even better if you think so. I will personally make him eat humans, make him consort with you, and lead him to damnation. I refuse to believe that his desires won’t be amplified, and I refuse to believe he won’t become a demon."
The spider spirits’ eyes widened upon hearing the words of the master of Huanghua Temple, and for a moment, they didn’t know whether to be angry or pleased.
Just then, ’Sha Chen’, who lay on the ground, stood up, a complex look on his face as he watched the master of Huanghua Temple.
The other spider spirits were overjoyed and crowded around him, fussing over his well-being.
The master of Huanghua Temple was shocked and exclaimed, "How is this possible? You ate my poisoned dates and are completely fine?"
’Sha Chen’ transformed in a flicker, taking on the appearance of Seventh Mother, and said, "My constitution, as Senior Brother should know, is immune to all poisons. Your poisoned dates are useless against me."
The master of Huanghua Temple, a mix of shock and anger, exclaimed, "Damn it! That scoundrel didn’t come! Why would you collude with outsiders to deceive me? I am your Senior Brother!"
Seventh Mother was very disappointed. "Are you even worthy of being called that anymore?"
She continued, "Elder Brother sent me to test you, and I thought he was being petty. I really owe him an apology."
"Now it seems he was right. I am glad I tested you; otherwise, I would never have forgiven myself."
The other spider spirits all nodded in agreement, deeply moved.
The master of Huanghua Temple, furious to the point of laughter, said, "Very well. Since you all think I don’t deserve to be your Senior Brother, then so be it."
The spider spirits snorted coldly. They had chosen their separate paths and prepared to leave.
With a laugh from the master of Huanghua Temple, the entire Huanghua Temple instantly shut its doors and windows as a wild wind howled within.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, while sand and stones flew across the ground.
He said with a cold laugh, "Do you really think you can just walk away?"
The spider spirits were greatly alarmed. "Are you actually planning to kill us? After all, we have a thousand years of friendship."
The master of Huanghua Temple said, "You ruined my opportunity to achieve the Arhat Position. I can’t worry about that now."
"Since you claim to be siblings, I’ll capture you and threaten him to come out. Then, I’ll slowly torture him."
Enraged, the spider spirits drew their swords and fought against the master of Huanghua Temple.
United as seven sisters and powerful in their mana, they were especially skilled with the 72 Polymorphic Transformations, with techniques that reached the heavens.
Having cultivated the Eight-Nine Profound Art, their foundations were profound.
They had just started fighting when the master of Huanghua Temple, careless for a moment, was actually put at a disadvantage by them.
He exclaimed in shock and anger, "Unexpectedly, your cultivation has improved so much, and you have practiced such advanced cultivation techniques and Divine Power. I underestimated you."
The spider spirits snorted coldly, "It’s all thanks to Elder Brother’s excellent guidance, perfect for dealing with you today."
The master of Huanghua Temple snorted coldly, threw off his Taoist robe, and revealed the thousands of eyes on his body.
The spider spirits were shocked and quickly removed their gauzy clothing, exposing their navels, from which they shot out spider silk.
"Quick, bind him up so he can’t use his Divine Power!" the eldest sister shouted.
The other sisters also unleashed their Spider Silk Power, wrapping the master of Huanghua Temple into a cicada’s cocoon.
But then, BANG.
The next moment, thousands of beams of golden light burst forth from within the cicada cocoon. The spider silk instantly dissolved, and Huanghua Temple was left in shambles.
The spider spirits hastily defended themselves but were still beaten back step by step.
The eldest sister gritted her teeth and said, "His Thousand Eyes Divine Power is so strong! I’ll cover your retreat."
The other sisters quickly said, "We advance and retreat together!"
Seventh Mother, who had been silently part of the battle and well protected by her sisters, had a flicker in her eyes.
Seeing the master of Huanghua Temple displaying his mighty power, triumphant and as if he was about to kill them all, she finally sighed.
She didn’t want to use it initially, but now she had no more illusions about the master of Huanghua Temple.
She slowly took out a box and said, "Sisters, don’t worry. He won’t be able to act violently much longer."
The master of Huanghua Temple laughed heartily. "Ridiculous! My Thousand Eyes Divine Power is unrivaled in this world. Even if an immortal came, I would still riddle him into a sieve!"
Seventh Mother smirked, opened the box, and blew into it. In an instant, the God Needle of Usagi Day flew out.
SWISH, SWISH, SWISH!
The master of Huanghua Temple was pierced by the God Needle of Usagi Day and instantly blinded. His cultivation technique collapsed, he suffered a backlash, and he fell to the ground, rolling and crawling.
