By the standards of ancient Gu Masters, Situ Zhi's Gu Technique had indeed reached a realm previously unattained, with neither predecessor nor successor. It was only because he was too overconfident, unwilling to hide in the shadows and admire the fruits of his Gu Technique, and instead insisted on conducting field inspections in Suzhou City, that he was arrested by the Imperial Palace Tributor Shen Tuyu.
Wang Bo Fan said, "His student, Yu Shi, has also inherited eighty to ninety percent of his master's Gu Technique heritage."
"Situ Zhi has already been captured by the garrison, so this rat plague..."
A clan elder asked with hesitation and fear, "Could it have been caused by this so-called Yu Shi?"
Victims of the rat plague would be covered in swellings and black spots. Their skin would turn dark purple, and the horror of their appearance was unprecedented, even more brutal than the great plagues recorded in history.
