After the Mongolians had walked for a while, the Jingang sect's master could no longer restrain himself and said, "Your Highness, although Ouyang Feng has a great reputation, I'm not afraid of him. The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is enough to make me invincible. Why did you suddenly retreat?"
The Xuanming Elders also said, "That's right, Your Highness. We have the advantage in numbers while they only have three people. They may not be united."
Zhao Min angrily rolled her eyes at them and said, "You two still have the nerve to say that? Two against one Zhou Zhiruo, yet she still has the upper hand."
Lu Zhangke hurriedly said, "Your Highness, on the surface it looks like Zhou Zhiruo has the upper hand, but that's just our strategy. Her fighting style consumes a lot of internal energy. As long as we guard the door and wait for her to run out of zhenqi, we'll be able to win."
Zhao Min was not so easy to fool. She snorted and said, "You've been fighting for so long. Has Zhou Zhiruo shown any signs of running out of zhenqi?"
Lu Zhangke smiled embarrassedly and said, "No."
He Biweng, who was standing to the side, was much more straightforward. He could not help but say, "I don't know what happened, but Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds. She clearly wasn't this good at the Lion Slaying Assembly."
A wretched smile immediately appeared on Lu Zhangke's face. "It must be Song Qingshu's doing. It's normal for them to talk about martial arts after they're done being intimate with each other."
Thinking of those scenes, Zhao Min felt uncomfortable and her face turned cold. "Shut up!"
The Xuanming Elders looked at each other in dismay. They did not know how they had offended her, so they could only remain silent.
Zhao Min did not want to think about this problem anymore. She said to the Jingang sect's master, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you. I retreated because I have other plans."
"I'd like to hear the details," the Titanium Sect Master asked curiously.
Now that they knew that Prince Ruyang was fine, there was no need to rush. Zhao Min thought that she had nothing to do anyway, so she explained to them, "Although we have more people, Ouyang Feng and Zhou Zhiruo are highly skilled in martial arts. In addition, Ouyang Feng and Indigo Phoenix are experts in using poison. Even if we win, we will suffer heavy losses. Jia Baoyu is not worth the risk. Why don't we just give her to them and let them fight it out?"
The master of the Vajra Faction frowned and said, "But Jia Baoyu is the son of Jia Shidao, and he was given to us by the Southern Song Dynasty. If we lose him like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves in the future."
Zhao Min snorted, "Why should we, the Mongolian Empire, give an explanation to a weak Song? Just tell them that it was the Jin Kingdom who kidnapped Jia Baoyu. That way, we can sow discord between the Jin Kingdom and the Song Kingdom and reignite the flames of war between them. "
The Titanium Sect Master and the Xuanming Elders suddenly came to a realization. They gave her a thumbs up and said, "Princess, you are wise!"
Zhao Min smiled. She was in a good mood after knowing that her father was fine and that Song Qingshu was safe. She shook the reins and urged the horse to gallop away …
In the teahouse, Zhou Zhiruo walked to Song Qingshu with a faint smile. She imitated the tone that Zhao Min used before she left, "Don't forget the promise between us. I've been waiting for her … What promise did you make with her?"
Zhou Zhiruo's impersonation was perfect. Song QingShu felt a headache coming on. He looked to the side subconsciously and saw Indigo Phoenix pursing her lips and smiling. Ouyang Feng was also gloating at the side as if he was watching a good show.
Song Qingshu pulled her aside and whispered, "Isn't she poisoned by the Three Corpse Brain Pill? I promised her that I would find the antidote for her."
Actually, Zhao Min wanted to ask Ouyang Feng and Indigo Phoenix before she left. After all, both of them were famous poison masters. They might have a solution. However, both of them were enemies of Zhao Min. She gave up on the idea after much thought. After all, it was not difficult to find the antidote for the Three Corpse Brain Pill. What was difficult was that she did not know which three types of worms were responsible for the poison. Hence, Ouyang Feng and Indigo Phoenix could not find the right antidote.
Zhou Zhiruo looked at him suspiciously, "That's it?"
Song Qingshu nodded and looked serious, "That's it."
Zhou Zhiruo scoffed, "She is the Mongolian princess. She has countless masters under her. Why would she need you to find the antidote for her?"
Song QingShu thought that these two women were natural enemies, so he could only explain, "The reason why she was poisoned is mostly because of me, so how can I just stand by and watch?" Song QingShu immediately shot a look at Ouyang Feng, asking him to think of a way to help him out of this predicament.
Although there was a huge difference in their ages, they were compatible. Ouyang Feng saw that it was about time. He purposely coughed and said to Indigo Phoenix, "I heard that the Five Venoms Sect is good at using poison. Coincidentally, my nickname is Western Poison. I would like to see it."
The Five Immortals Sect was the name of the sect members. However, the people in the martial world called it the Five Venoms Sect behind their backs. Of course, the people in the martial world would also call it the Five Immortals Sect in front of the people from the Five Venoms Sect. They were just worried that they would offend the other party. With Ouyang Feng's status, he did not need to be courteous.
Indigo Phoenix laughed, "The Five Immortals Sect is located in the southwest. How can we be compared to Mister Ouyang?"
Ouyang Feng chuckled, "You only praised my martial arts. You didn't mention my skills in poison. Obviously, you don't agree with me." He had lived for most of his life and was well-versed in human relationships. Indigo Phoenix praised Mister Ouyang but she did not reply to Western Poison. How could he not know what she was thinking?
Indigo Phoenix laughed, "Mister Ouyang, you are exaggerating. However, the Five Immortals Sect has been around for hundreds of years. We have accumulated the experiences of our predecessors. Although we can't say that we are the best in poison, we don't dare to belittle our predecessors."
Although Indigo Phoenix's martial arts were worlds apart from Ouyang Feng's, she was very confident in her skills in poison. Moreover, to a poison expert, sparring with an expert of the same level was a good opportunity to increase his cultivation.
Ouyang Feng laughed, "I haven't met a poison expert for many years. If that's the case, let's have a spar."
Song Qingshu and Zhou Zhiruo had already noticed the commotion. They quickly walked over.
"Poison duels are too dangerous. We are all on the same side. It's not good to hurt anyone. I think we should just forget about it." Song Qingshu was troubled. He had asked Ouyang Feng to help him out but he did not expect Ouyang Feng to do something like this.
Song Qingshu had heard about the poison duels in the martial world. Usually, two people would take turns to poison each other. The one who was poisoned would use what he had learned to detoxify the poison. If he could detoxify the poison, it would be his turn to poison his opponent. If he could not, the winner would be decided. Because they were both poison experts, the poisons they used on each other were not ordinary poisons. They were all extremely powerful poisons. Usually, when the victor was decided, life and death would be decided. Song QingShu did not want to see that happen.
Ouyang Feng laughed, "You don't have to worry. We will not use such a dangerous way of sparring." He then looked at Indigo Phoenix, "I have long heard that the five poisons of the Five Poisons Sect are snakes, spiders, toads, scorpions, and centipedes. Coincidentally, I have a White Camel Snake here. Why don't you invite your five poisons to spar with my snake?"
Indigo Phoenix had already noticed that there was a slender snake coiled around the head of Ouyang Feng's snake staff. Its body was as black as ink and there was a glimmer in the snake's eyes. It was obviously not an ordinary creature.
Song QingShu knew even more. This strange snake had been carefully cultivated by Ouyang Feng. In the past, he had used the venom of this strange snake to kill thousands of sharks in the sea. Later, he had used this strange snake to bite Hong Qigong. Even with Hong Qigong's profound internal energy, he had immediately fallen into a coma. In the end, after much difficulty, the venom had been forced out of his body. Unfortunately, his internal energy had basically been destroyed. If it were not for Guo Jing's filial respect for the Nine Yin Manual, Hong Qigong would probably have become a cripple.
All of this was based on the fact that most of the venom in the snake's body had been extracted, and the venomous shark hadn't had time to recover. If the snake had bitten Hong Qigong at full strength, even with Hong Qigong's cultivation, he would have died immediately.
"That's great." The Indigo Phoenix was excited. She found a big basin and pointed at it with her finger.
Indigo Phoenix's finger was as white as jade. Her long nails were dyed bright red. Soon, a small green snake slithered out of her sleeve and slid into the basin along her finger. The three colors of white, red, and green intertwined and formed a strong visual impact.
Song Qingshu sighed. If he did not know her identity beforehand, who would have thought that such a beautiful woman would have venom all over her body?
Ouyang Feng smiled. "Unless you have all five venoms, I'm afraid you are no match for my snake."
"Then, I shall take advantage of you." Indigo Phoenix nodded. It was obvious that she agreed with him. Then, she released the hairy spider, the spotted scorpion, the red-backed toad, and the hundred-legged black centipede.
Zhou Zhiruo sucked in a breath of cold air when she saw this. She quickly turned her face away and buried herself in Song QingShu's embrace. She didn't dare to look again, causing Song QingShu to burst out laughing.
As soon as the five venomous insects were released, they occupied a few corners of the basin. They looked at each other cautiously.
Ouyang Feng smiled. "If I don't put the snake in, I'm afraid they will fight each other." He did not want to take advantage of them. Hence, he put the snake in the middle of the basin.
The five venomous insects were at each other's throats. However, as soon as the snake entered the basin, the five venomous insects trembled and took a step back.
The Indigo Phoenix frowned and blew a strange whistle from her red lips. The five poisons gradually calmed down. After all, they were elites trained by the Five Poisons Order. Although they were a little afraid of the strange snake in the middle, they had the advantage in numbers. Gradually, they revealed their ferocious side. Under the command of the Indigo Phoenix, they gradually moved towards the direction of the strange snake.
Ouyang Feng also took out a short bone flute and played a strange flute sound. After the white camel snake heard the flute sound, it coiled its body and slightly swayed its head from side to side. It was like a martial arts master who was accumulating power and waiting to attack.
Zhou Zhiruo hid in his embrace and did not dare to look. Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was amazed. He did not expect the two of them to be able to control these venomous creatures that acted according to their instincts. It was amazing.
Just as the battle in the basin was about to start, there was the sound of horses galloping from afar. Song Qingshu and Ouyang Feng were very skilled. They could tell that these people were coming from different directions. They surrounded them in the middle. It was obvious that they did not come with good intentions.
