Xuantian City, North City, Elixir Yang Sect.
After settling Su Xiaoning down, Tang Yu ordered for all cultivators of Elixir Yang Sect to be on high alert and keep a close eye on anyone suspicious.
Tang Yu was extremely wary of Poison Sect.
After all, there was no guarantee that Poison Sect would not take revenge after losing a core disciple who could release the Purple Corpse Corrosion Poison!
It was never wrong to plan ahead.
Furthermore, ever since that incident, Tang Yu had been feeling uneasy and even had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
Following Tang Yu's series of orders, the atmosphere in Elixir Yang Sect turned tense as well.
Almost all the cultivators were on the move. Ten in a small group and a hundred in a large group, patrolling the area of Elixir Yang Sect carefully.
Right then, two cultivators arrived together from not far away. It was a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was cold – they were Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou.
Initially, Ji Chengtian was cultivating in his room. However, he heard the commotion outside for a long time, as though something big had happened.
Ji Chengtian came out to ask and found out that Xiaoning was attacked and Su Zimo had returned. He hurried over, wanting to clarify things.
Leng Rou was initially cultivating in Chigurumon and only found out about the incident when she heard the discussions of the Chigurumon cultivators. When she rushed over, she bumped into Ji Chengtian.
When Tang Yu caught sight of the two of them, she greeted them and nodded. "Fellow Daoists, you've come at the right time. I was just about to inform you guys to be careful for the time being. Poison Sect has their eyes on your group."
"How's Xiaoning? I heard that she was poisoned?" Ji Chengtian asked.
"She's fine now."
Tang Yu smiled. "She's already asleep. She'll probably recover after a few days of rest."
"Where's Zimo?"
Suddenly, Leng Rou asked.
Tang Yu replied, "He said that he's going out for a walk and should be back soon. Why don't the two of you wait here for a while?"
When they heard that, Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou's expressions changed. They exchanged glances and could see the worry in each other's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Tang Yu could not help but ask when she saw their strange expressions. She knew that something was amiss.
Ji Chengtian said in a deep voice with a grim expression, "Zimo is probably looking for trouble with Poison Sect."
"Ah?"
Tang Yu was slightly stunned as she said hesitantly, "This... can't be right?"
Ji Chengtian sighed gently and shook his head. "You haven't interacted with Zimo for long and might not understand his character. He looks calm and gentle, but there's a sharp edge in his bones! "
"If it was anyone else, they might have tolerated it out of fear of Poison Sect's strength. However, Zimo won't."
Leng Rou added, "What's more, someone from the Poison Sect has approached Ning."
Dragons have reverse scales and those who touch them will definitely die. Xiaoning was equivalent to Su Zimo's reverse scale.
Tang Yu recalled Su Zimo's expression before he left and frowned, "But he looked quite calm. He didn't show much killing intent."
"How is this possible?"
Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou shook their heads.
Given Su Zimo's character, there was no way he would let Xiaoning off easily!
Ji Chengtian asked, "What did Zimo say to you before he left?"
"Nothing much. At that time, I advised him to calm down. Even if he killed a few Poison Sect cultivators, it would only be for a moment of satisfaction and there would be no benefits. Instead, it would incite the revenge of Poison Sect."
Tang Yu thought for a moment and continued, "Furthermore, he clearly agreed with my opinion and even admitted that I made sense."
Ji Chengtian's expression changed slightly as he took a deep breath. "There shouldn't be any mistake. Zimo must have headed to Poison Sect!"
"Ah?" Tang Yu did not understand and was confused.
Ji Chengtian said, "I'm guessing that Zimo only said half a sentence. There was something else that he did not say."
"What?" Tang Yu asked instinctively.
"You have a point … so, I went to kill everyone from Poison Sect!"
Kill everyone!
Tang Yu's expression changed starkly and her eyes were filled with shock.
"T-This … Fellow Daoist Su is alone. Wouldn't he definitely die if he went?"
"There must be countless hidden weapons and traps in Poison Sect's residence. He …"
Tang Yu's heart was in a mess as she murmured, "Fellow Daoist Su is too rash. Although he's strong, the methods of Poison Sect cultivators are way too sinister. If he hasn't even heard of the Seven Lethals of Poison Sect, he'll definitely be at a disadvantage!"
"I don't know if he'll be at a disadvantage,"
Ji Chengtian shook his head. "However, this is indeed something that Su Zimo would do. This is the reaction that he should have!"
"I'll head back and request for Chigurumon cultivators to provide reinforcements."
Leng Rou did not say anything else and turned to leave.
Tang Yu calmed herself down and said in a deep voice, "I'll mobilize my men right now and try to rush to the city south as soon as possible. I hope we can make it in time."
…
South City, Poison Sect.
In a spacious hall, the doors were tightly shut. Even though it was noon and the sun was blazing outside, there was no light in the hall and it looked dark and sinister.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the middle of the hall in the darkness.
"How long has Lu Ang been out?"
The voice was sharp and feminine with a hint of coldness that sent chills down one's spine.
"Senior Brother Du, it's been about four hours."
A cultivator appeared and cupped his fists as he spoke.
"It's been so long …"
The feminine voice sounded once more, seemingly impatient.
"From what I know, there are three people in the city north. Apart from Su Xiaoning, there's Ji Chengtian and Leng Rou. It'll probably take some effort to poison all three of them to death. "
The person who spoke was Wei Qi, a six meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator of Poison Sect.
The person hidden in the darkness was the commander of Poison Sect for this trip, seven meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator Du Kai!
"Those are just small fries. The person I want to kill is Su Zimo!"
Du Kai's voice was filled with endless killing intent. "How dare he touch someone of Poison Sect? I'll let him have a taste of our methods!"
A moment later, Du Kai asked again, "Where did Su Zimo go? Why isn't he back in the city yet?"
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Du. His sister is in Xuantian City so he'll definitely return!" Wei Qi replied with certainty.
Right then, a commotion sounded from outside the hall.
Du Kai frowned but did not take it to heart.
This was Poison Sect's territory and even super sects such as Glass Palace and Malevolent Earth Sect would not dare to set foot here casually!
However, before long, the commotion got closer and there were even some yelling and tragic cries mixed in.
"Hmm?"
Du Kai narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Wei Qi, go check out what's going on outside."
"Understood."
The moment Wei Qi stood up, there was a loud boom and the ground shook!
The entire hall was on the verge of collapsing, and dust rustled down.
The door exploded with a bang, and countless pieces of broken stone splattered in all directions. Sunlight shone in, restoring some light to the hall.
At the entrance of the hall, a figure that was not tall stood under the sunlight. However, he exuded a torrential aura and a sharp killing intent!
"Who's Du Kai?"
The intruder's gaze was like a torch, brighter than the blazing sun outside!
