Hearing his words, the linen-robed man said, "Sword artists have the sharpest perception. If it didn't work the first time, I'm afraid it won't work in the future. But, you don't have to target him. Your poison isn't just for killing."
"You mean that woman?" The ghost warrior guessed the meaning of the linen-robed man's words.
The linen-robed man didn't reply.
"Hehe, you're right. There's no need to target that kid. As long as I can poison his friend, he'll have no choice but to come and beg me." The ghost warrior closed his eyes and attached his soul power to the Heartless Poison Qi, urging it to float toward the Wind-Rain Building for the second time.
The poison qi was formless and colorless, and its density was even lower than air. Moreover, the way it floated was very strange, as if it was using the air as a channel. Without carefully scanning with soul power, one wouldn't be able to discover the deadly poison qi in the air.
The Heartless Poison Qi appeared in Murong Qingcheng's bedroom and enveloped her.
Murong Qingcheng's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a black light flickered in her pupils. She discovered a wisp of purple in the air, one that couldn't be seen by the naked eye. God knows how she saw it, but it was something that even Ye Chen couldn't see.
Reaching out her right hand, Murong Qingcheng shrunk in the air.
The next moment!
The Heartless Poison Qi curled up involuntarily and was enveloped by an invisible force field. Because of the increase in density, the poison qi's color had become very rich.
"Poison qi! Someone wants to ambush me." The Zhen Yuan in the Sky Demon force field was corroded. Murong Qingcheng's brows creased, and her deep gaze traced the source of the poison qi, trying to find the culprit.
However, just as her gaze reached the outside of the Wind-Rain Building, the ribbon-like poison qi dissipated. Pop! Pop! Several people nearby fell down without anyone noticing, immediately poisoned to death. Soon after, the residents in the surrounding buildings also fell down. By the time someone noticed, within a radius of several thousand meters, apart from the powerful Clasping Yuan and Astral Reaching experts, not even a chicken or a dog was spared. It should be known that this was only a wisp of poison qi, but it was diluted by poison element Zhen Yuan. After spreading out, it could still kill the majority of people within a radius of several thousand meters. Its toxicity was simply unimaginable, more poisonous than any poison on the market.
"We've been discovered again!"
Five Poison Ghost General's face was burning. The first time he attacked Ye Chen, he had failed. The second time he attacked Murong Qingcheng, he had also failed. This could no longer be described as embarrassment, but shame. Damn it! He was a Sea of Soul realm expert proficient in poison arts, yet he had been defeated by two Astral Reaching experts.
Even without the Ghost General Five Poison's reminder, the man in linen had already sensed that many people had died nearby. The deaths meant that the Ghost General Five Poison had lost control of the poisonous gas or dispersed it automatically. Therefore, the possibility of success was negligible. After all, if he succeeded, there was no need for the Ghost General Five Poison to kill so many people and bring trouble upon himself.
"We can't stay here for long. Let's leave first!"
The linen-clothed man said calmly.
The two of them hurriedly left the courtyard and disappeared from the area.
Creak!
The door to Murong Qingcheng's room was pushed open, and Ye Chen walked in and said, "Someone seems to be targeting me. Are you alright?" After being attacked by the poisonous gas, Ye Chen released his soul power, radiating in all directions. However, before he could find the attacker, something happened to Murong Qingcheng, and the people nearby also started dying one after another.
"This poison is very powerful!" Murong Qingcheng raised her right hand in the void, and a twisting force field appeared. The purple poisonous gas squirmed like purple liquid, condensing into a sphere.
Ye Chen sized up the poisonous gas and said, "The attacker should be an expert proficient in poison arts. Moreover, the poisonous gas contains soul power, which is hard to detect."
"Sea of Soul realm expert!"
Murong Qingcheng's brows creased. Only Sea of Soul realm experts could use soul power.
Ye Chen faintly nodded. The attacker was certainly a Sea of Soul realm expert.
"Why would they want to attack us?"
"I don't have any clues, but I can think of one person. The head of the one hundred and eight ghost generals of Nine Ghost Cult, the Five Poison Ghost General. It's said that the poison he releases is enough to kill thousands of people. Of course, I'm only thinking of him, but I don't have any proof yet. The southern sector is boundless, and he is not the only one proficient in poison arts. Perhaps there is someone else."
Ye Chen didn't remember directly offending any poison arts expert, so he thought of the Five Poison Ghost General of Nine Ghost Cult.
Since Murong Qingcheng was fine, Ye Chen bid farewell and returned to his room.
The night passed without any words.
The next day, the four set out together, heading north.
…
The sky was clear, and white clouds could be seen everywhere.
Below them was a vast plain, and on the plain stood a few steep peaks.
Swish!
A huge black shadow flashed past the left side of the mountain.
Then, two more black shadows shot out from the other side. The mountain shook a couple of times. First, the left side of the mountain that was grazed instantly shattered into a semicircle, as if it had been bitten. Then, two semicircles appeared on the right side as well, making the whole mountain look like a broken apple that had been bitten a couple of times.
"In the whole southern sector, perhaps only our Beast Controlling Martial School can travel this easily." A voice came from one of the black shadows chasing them. The speaker was a teenager in brown robes. He had thick eyebrows and tiger-like eyes, and his bones were thick and bulky. The black shadow under him was a huge black eagle, which was more than ten meters long, and its wingspan was almost twenty meters. It was indeed a top rank 8 demonic beast, the Black Wind Eagle. The Black Wind Eagle's battling power was not bad, but its most precious part was its speed, which could reach seven times the speed of sound in a split second.
On a Black Wind Condor next to him, a beautiful woman chuckled and said, "Second Brother, you've been very happy since yesterday. Are you going to meet your dream lover?"
The brown-robed teenager blushed, "Don't make fun of me. I like her, but she might not like me. It would be great if I had the strength of head brother."
On the back of the Black Wind Condor, a handsome young man in cyan clothes stood with his hands behind his back. Although the gale was blocked out by Zhen yuan, there was still a trace of air current that managed to seep in, making his long black hair dance in the air, making him look carefree and unrestrained. Hearing the voice of the brown-robed young man using Zhen yuan, he curled his lips and said in a domineering tone, "Second Junior Brother, if I were you, I would confess to her directly. It's better for men to be a bit more domineering. Unfortunately, apart from the Thunder Princess, no one has caught my eye yet. Otherwise, I would have said goodbye to being single long ago.
The beautiful lady covered her mouth and laughed, "Look, even head brother is supporting you."
Scratching his head, the brown-robed teenager's face became even redder.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The three rode the Black Wind Eagle and flew straight ahead, leaving a black trail behind them.
The speed of the Black Wind Condor was very fast, overtaking one person after another. When it overtook the four people who were lined up side by side, the handsome young man subconsciously glanced at it. With this glance, he could no longer look away. Even when the Black Wind Condor overtook the four people, he was busy looking back and intentionally slowed down the Black Wind Condor's speed.
In his sight, the four people were two men and two women. The young man on the left looked ordinary, and his aura was also ordinary. There was nothing special about him; the young man on the right was a beautiful lady with a wonderful figure. No matter where she went, she would be a beauty. However, the handsome teenager had seen many beauties of this level, so he did not pay much attention to her. The one worth his attention was the young man in blue. He had a longsword on his waist, and his face was delicate and handsome. Although his eyes were very gentle, the handsome teenager could feel a sharp will in them. If the young man in blue made him take a few more glances, then the lady in purple next to him made him unable to take his eyes off her. There was actually a beauty that could compete with the Thunder Princess in this world. Be it appearance or temperament, they were all at the level of devastation. Even though the handsome teenager was used to seeing beauties in the world, he still could not help but feel his heart beat faster.
Swoosh!
The Black Wind Condor drew an arc in the air and blocked the four of them.
"Eldest Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
The beautiful lady and the young man in brown were puzzled, so they turned around as well.
Seeing that someone was blocking their way, the four of them immediately stopped.
It was Ye Chen and the other three.
"The four of you, I am Mo Xiang of the Imperial Beast School." The handsome teenager jumped off the Black Wind Condor and cupped his fists.
Ye Chen asked, "What's the matter?"
Mo Xiang smiled. "It's fate that we met. I'm guessing that you guys are going to the Thunder City, and we are going there as well. Why don't we travel together?"
"There are too many things that happen to us. It might not be fate."
Ye Chen said lightly.
"Hehe!" Mo Xiang did not care. He looked at Murong Qingcheng and said, "I wonder what your name is. I hope you can tell me."
Murong Qingcheng was slightly stunned, then said, "Since you care so much about fate, then let's see what it is."
How could Gu Youyun not see that Mo Xiang had been charmed by Murong Qingcheng? She found it funny.
"You are right, lady. But I still believe that we are fated. See you in the Thunder City." Mo Xiang was not angry at being rejected. He knew that he had to know when to advance and when to retreat. If the first impression was bad, he would have to spend more effort to make up for it.
Jumping on the Black Wind Condor, Mo Xiang turned around, "The Thunder City is not as peaceful as you think. If you have any trouble, just tell me my name. See you."
Shoo!
After that, he left on the Black Wind Condor without looking back.
The confused beautiful lady and the young man in brown smiled bitterly and chased after him on the Black Wind Condor.
After the three of them left.
Gu Youyun said, "Prince Imperial Beast Mo Xiang, the eldest disciple of the fifth-rank school, the Imperial Beast School. He is a genius second only to the Thunder Princess in the Thunder Region. His strength is probably in the top ten of the young generation in the southern sector. I didn't expect to meet him here."
"Prince Imperial Beast Mo Xiang!"
Ye Chen took back his sight. He could feel that the latter was very powerful, and his aura was very pure. From this, he could tell that the latter's Zhen yuan purity had also reached a very high level. In Ye Chen's eyes, he was the strongest young man besides Murong Qingcheng.
"Let's go!"
The Thunder City was full of young experts, and the group had already prepared themselves mentally. If a Prince Imperial Beast Mo Xiang could already shock them, then wouldn't they be shocked to death in the Thunder City?
Mo Xiang's incident was soon forgotten as a small interlude, and they rushed towards the Thunder City.
