"Hold on!"
A figure strode in from outside. Although she was dressed as a man, her features were picturesque and she was beautiful – it was none other than the commander of Elixir Yang Sect, Tang Yu.
Sweeping her gaze, Tang Yu frowned slightly when she caught sight of the dead Elixir Yang Sect disciples on the ground.
When she caught sight of Xiaoning, her expression changed starkly as she exclaimed, "Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison!"
Uncle Liang nodded with a grim expression. "Her face is green and her lips are purple. There's no mistake about it. It should be one of the Seven Lethals of Poison Sect, the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison!"
Tang Yu was initially in seclusion cultivation when she was woken up and found out that something big had happened outside.
She heard from her fellow disciples that Xiaoning was attacked on the long streets of the north city. Although the attacker was killed by Night Spirit on the spot, Xiaoning was still poisoned.
"To think that it's Poison Sect!"
Tang Yu's expression darkened and turned terrible.
Right now, the north city of Xuantian City was guarded by Elixir Yang Sect and Chigurumon. Tang Yu was still puzzled as to which cultivator would be so blind as to injure someone in the north city.
To think that the other party was Poison Sect, one of the five heretical doctrines!
Although Poison Sect disciples were not strong in terms of direct combat strength, many factions and cultivators were not willing to make enemies with them.
Poison Sect had seven lethals.
Every single one of them was extremely fatal and one would die upon contact with them!
Furthermore, Poison Sect disciples were crafty and vicious in their methods and specialized in hidden weapons that were superb.
It was truly way too easy for Poison Sect disciples to assassinate someone.
Eating, drinking, breathing, casual contact …
Even the most common action could cost you your life!
Even Foundation Establishment Cultivators could be poisoned by Poison Sect's Qi Refinement Warriors if they were careless. It was not uncommon for one to fail miserably at an easy task.
Most cultivators would hide far away from Poison Sect's disciples, not wanting to incur their wrath or befriend them, afraid that it would be too late to avoid them.
Tang Yu could not understand why a Poison Sect disciple would look for Su Xiaoning.
A cultivator who could release the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison definitely had a high status in Poison Sect!
Why would a Poison Sect disciple take action personally just to poison a late-stage Foundation Establishment Elixir Refinement Master?
Right then, Uncle Liang exclaimed softly, "Strange, given the toxicity of the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison, this woman should have turned into a pool of blood long ago. Why is her corpse still intact without any signs of decay?"
Those poisoned by the Purple Corpse Decay Poison would die within ten breaths of time. After ten breaths of time, the corpse would rot and turn into a puddle of blood. Even the gods would find it difficult to save them.
Furthermore, the blood contained a strong Purple Corpse Decay Poison. Anyone who came into contact with it would still die!
Tang Yu stared at Xiaoning for a while, deep in thought.
"Still alive?"
Maybe it is an illusion, but the green on Ning's face and the purple on her lips seem to be lighter than Just Now.
"How is this possible?"
Tang Yu had some understanding of the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. Even eight meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not be able to escape death if they were tainted by the poison, let alone late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators!
This was the terrifying aspect of the Poison Sect!
"What's going on?"
Uncle Liang pointed to the corpse on the ground and turned to ask.
A cultivator stood out and pointed to Night Spirit not far away, saying hatefully, "Junior Brother Pu wanted to check on Su Xiaoning out of kindness when he saw that she was poisoned. To think that he would be killed by that beast!"
Tang Yu frowned.
That statement did not sound like much. Night Spirit was a demon beast to begin with. There was a high chance that it was triggered by its master's injury, causing it to go berserk and attack others.
However, Tang Yu felt that something was amiss.
Yan Jun's expression was stern as he shouted, "Uncle Liang, junior sister, Elixir Yang Sect is one of the four unorthodox groups. How can we allow our disciples to be slaughtered as we please? Furthermore, this is just a beast! It killed a disciple of Elixir Yang Sect so it has to pay with its life! "
Pausing for a moment, Yan Jun continued, "This is a beast reared by Su Zimo. Now that it's in trouble, he won't be able to escape the blame when Su Zimo returns!"
"That's right! Let's take revenge for Junior Brother Pu!"
"Kill that beast!"
"Kill it!"
Everyone from Elixir Yang Sect shouted agitatedly.
The development of this matter was completely out of Tang Yu's control.
No matter what, Su Zimo's side was an outsider.
If she were to protect Night Spirit, she would not be able to convince the masses and appease the anger in their hearts. There was a high chance that it would cause an internal conflict within the sect!
Tang Yu bit her lip gently and frowned. She was a little flustered and did not know what to do.
When he saw that, Uncle Liang sighed internally.
Tang Yu was considered an outstanding talent of Elixir Yang Sect's younger generation. She was smart and sharp – there were very few things that could escape her eyes.
But, Tang Yu still lacked a sense of decisiveness and dominance.
Without those things, she would not be able to control the situation!
Suddenly, a figure flashed through Uncle Liang's mind.
"That person is truly …"
Uncle Liang could not continue.
It was difficult for him to give an accurate evaluation of that person.
That person looked like a cultured and refined scholar. However, deep down, he exuded a domineering aura that looked down on everything. His methods were sharp and he was decisive in killing!
Everything else aside, that temperament alone was enough for him to be ranked in the top ten of the younger generation!
Right then, a voice sounded from outside the hall.
"Who are you guys trying to kill?"
The tone of this voice was flat, neither light nor heavy, but it suppressed the noise and clamor in the hall.
Tang Yu's petite body shuddered and a look of joy flashed through her eyes as she turned around.
A green-robed cultivator with delicate features strode in and entered the back hall. Sweeping his gaze, his gaze was like cold lightning and the entire back hall went silent!
This was a powerful aura that was indescribable but could suppress everything!
Su Zimo had returned!
The moment they caught sight of him, the scene of the bloody battle on the long street appeared in everyone's minds and their courage weakened subconsciously.
Everyone's gazes landed on Su Zimo.
Uncle Liang could clearly see a hint of fear and respect in the eyes of the sect disciples.
"Hmm?"
When Su Zimo entered the back hall and caught sight of Xiaoning's frail state, his eyes flashed coldly and killing intent surged in his heart!
Tang Yu said softly, "Fellow Daoist Su, I was negligent in not sending any sect disciples to accompany Xiaoning. I truly did not expect that someone from Poison Sect would target her."
Su Zimo shook his head without saying anything with a dark expression.
If Xiaoning was poisoned even with the protection of the Night Spirit, it would have been useless even if she had an Elixir Yang Sect disciple by her side. Tang Yu could not be blamed for this.
Although Tang Yu could not confirm whether Xiaoning was dead or alive, Su Zimo could clearly hear a weak heartbeat from Xiaoning's chest after clearing his seven orifices.
Furthermore, that heartbeat seemed to be getting stronger!
In other words, Xiaoning's condition was improving!
Su Zimo walked towards Xiaoning's side. Before he could take a few steps, Yan Jun's figure flashed and blocked Su Zimo's path, sneering provocatively.
"Su Zimo, don't give me that look!"
Yan Jun shouted, "It's true that your sister is dead. That was done by someone from Poison Sect and has nothing to do with Elixir Yang Sect! However, our Elixir Yang Sect disciple was killed by this beast of yours. We witnessed it with our own eyes! You have to give Elixir Yang Sect an explanation! "
"Is that so?"
Su Zimo was expressionless as he nodded. "Good kill!"
"What did you say?" Yan Jun's eyes widened.
"Get lost!"
"You …"
Before Yan Jun could finish, Su Zimo suddenly reached out and slapped Yan Jun's cheek heavily, sending him flying and knocking him unconscious in a corner.
Everyone was in an uproar!
