"Su Zimo, what are you doing?!"
"Audacious!"
"How arrogant!"
Many Elixir Yang Sect disciples were agitated and hollered.
No matter what, Yan Jun was a disciple of the sect's Battle Hall and his status was only second to Tang Yu – he was not someone an outsider like Su Zimo could compare to.
Tang Yu could clearly see that although Yan Jun's cheeks were swollen, he had merely fainted and was not severely injured.
At that distance, given Su Zimo's strength, if he wanted to kill Yan Jun, the latter's head would have been smashed into smithereens a long time ago!
In other words, Su Zimo had already shown mercy.
Taking a deep breath of air, Tang Yu hollered, "Everyone, silence!"
"Young master, he's just an outsider. What right does he have to act as he pleases in our territory?!"
"That's right. If not for the protection of Elixir Yang Sect, Su Zimo would have been killed by Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect a long time ago!"
"Fufu, I don't think it's just Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect. That pair of siblings seems to have offended Poison Sect as well."
Cries against Su Zimo could still be heard from the crowd.
"Shut up!"
Uncle Liang's gaze darkened as he suddenly hollered.
Although Uncle Liang's hair was white and he was already in his later years, his eyes still shone brightly and exuded authority. The initially noisy scene gradually quietened down.
All the Elixir Yang Sect disciples knew the background of this old man before them.
They might have dared to object to Tang Yu's decision.
However, no matter how displeased everyone was towards this old man, they only dared to criticize internally.
Tang Yu said in a deep voice, "I'll explain this matter later. Everyone, please calm down for now."
Pausing for a moment, Tang Yu suddenly called out to Su Zimo and frowned. "Xiaoning has been afflicted with one of Poison Sect's Seven Lethals, the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. Be careful, that poison is extremely toxic and you'll be infected easily if you're not careful."
Su Zimo nodded and came to Xiaoning's side.
"Boo hoo!"
Night Spirit lowered its head and let out a low growl from its throat, feeling guilty.
Su Zimo patted Night Spirit's head and shook his head. "It's not your fault."
If it was an ordinary assassination, it would definitely not be able to break through Night Spirit's defensive line. However, the methods of Poison Sect cultivators were way too unpredictable and impossible to guard against.
After a while, Ning's complexion looks much better. She even looks a little rosy. Her heartbeat also becomes stronger. She is getting better gradually.
Seeing this, Uncle Liang clicked his tongue in wonder.
The fact that it was known as one of the Seven Lethals of the Poison Sect meant that it was impossible for cultivators from other sects to decipher it!
After living for so long, Uncle Liang had never heard of anyone who could survive after being inflicted with the Purple Corpse Rot Poison.
Furthermore, by the looks of it, the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison within Xiaoning's body seemed to be disappearing bit by bit!
The purple color on Xiaoning's lips gradually faded, revealing the remaining blood stains.
Although it was just a remnant bloodstain, Su Zimo could sense an extremely powerful energy within it!
That was definitely not Xiaoning's blood!
Su Zimo's gaze swept across and landed on Night Spirit's wrist. There was a deep wound that had yet to heal completely.
"No wonder."
Back when he entered the ancient battlefield, Night Spirit had already displayed the terror of its bloodline – it could ignore the venom of the Blood Centipede and was completely immune to all poisons.
The reason why Xiaoning's Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison was purged should be because she drank Night Spirit's blood.
"That's not right either."
On second thought, Su Zimo recalled that the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison was extremely toxic and would take effect within ten breaths.
Although Night Spirit's blood could purge the poison within Xiaoning's body, the process was relatively long. How did Xiaoning manage to hang on to her life during this period of time?
After clearing his seven orifices, Su Zimo's five senses became even sharper!
Now that he was close, Su Zimo could vaguely sense a warmth emanating from Xiaoning's chest along with a faint medicinal fragrance.
"That's right."
A look of realization flashed through Su Zimo's eyes.
Xiao Ning once had a mysterious alchemy cauldron. She had always kept it close to her chest.
If he was not wrong, the warmth and medicinal fragrance should have come from that Elixir Furnace.
It was also because of that Elixir Furnace that Xiaoning's heart meridian was able to purge the poison from her body after she drank Night Spirit's blood.
After confirming that Xiaoning was fine, Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and was completely relieved.
Su Zimo turned around and looked at the corpse on the ground.
There was a bloody hole in the glabella of the corpse – it was obvious that it was done by Night Spirit.
"You guys want an explanation? Alright, I'll give you one."
Surveying his surroundings, Su Zimo said indifferently, "Night Spirit would never hurt anyone for no reason. This person must have crossed the bottom line of Night Spirit for his death!"
"Nonsense!"
A horse-faced cultivator from Elixir Yang Sect hollered, "Junior Brother Pu went forward to check on him out of goodwill. That beast of yours killed Junior Brother Pu indiscriminately! We saw it with our own eyes and you're still trying to deny it!"
Su Zimo smiled and glared at that person with a dark gaze, saying meaningfully, "It's true that he went forward to check on him. However, we don't know if he did it out of goodwill."
"What do you mean?"
A hint of panic flashed through that person's eyes as his gaze flickered.
Su Zimo looked at Tang Yu and asked, "Young Master Tang, you said earlier on that the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison is extremely toxic and contagious, right?"
"That's right."
Tang Yu nodded and her eyes flashed – she seemed to have realized something.
"I'm afraid that even you wouldn't dare to approach her recklessly, right?" Su Zimo continued asking.
"Yes."
Tang Yu nodded in admission.
Indeed, she did not dare to approach Xiaoning when she sensed that she was infected with the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. It was not because she was cold-blooded, but because she was rational.
Suddenly, Tang Yu's heart skipped a beat and she finally understood what was amiss.
Tang Yu murmured softly, "If even I don't dare to approach her, why would Junior Brother Pu act out of character and go forward to check on her?"
Uncle Liang nodded silently.
Tang Yu continued, "Most importantly, there's no antidote for the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison. There's no reason for Junior Brother Pu to approach her at all."
When they heard that, many Elixir Yang Sect cultivators gradually reacted as well.
If they were in the same situation, they would definitely not have approached her.
Furthermore, there was no antidote for the poison even if they went forward to check on her – why should they risk their lives?
Tang Yu's gaze turned cold as she glared at the corpse on the ground without continuing.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted and landed on the horse-faced cultivator not far away. He said slowly, "I'm guessing that the reason why this person went forward to check on her wasn't because Xiaoning was poisoned, but because she was still alive despite being poisoned!"
The horse-faced cultivator's expression changed slightly and his gaze flickered – he did not dare to meet Su Zimo's gaze.
Narrowing his gaze, Su Zimo said word by word, "It's because Xiaoning wasn't dead from the poison and that person had a killing intent. That was why he was killed by the Night Spirit!"
"Fellow Daoist, am I right?" Su Zimo's aura was imposing.
The horse-faced cultivator forced a chuckle. "H-How would I know?"
In a flash, Su Zimo walked towards the horse-faced cultivator slowly with a dark gaze. "What are you afraid of?"
"I'm not …"
"During this period of time, your heartbeat sped up and your aura was unstable. You're already panicking. Also … you even had a killing intent towards me earlier on! "
By the time he said that, Su Zimo had already arrived before the horse-faced cultivator.
That person's face was pale and he retreated half a step back instinctively in a panic. Even the other cultivators could tell that he was guilty.
