Even though the physical constitution of the young lady on the stage resembled that of the Innate Poison Body, no one had ever seen such a constitution before, so it was hard to tell whether it was real or not.
While Guardian Shen had just found the Tome of Poison Legacy, he had found the Innate Poison Body and even claimed to be the founder of the Poison Hall … No matter who heard it, they would find it hard to believe.
"Hehe, the Innate Poison Body is also known as the Constitution of Disaster. If left unchecked, it will release lethal poison uncontrollably. Needless to say, I believe everyone here should be aware of this matter! Even though this young lady is unconscious, she has been releasing lethal poison nonstop … If Guardian Shen doesn't believe me, you can gather the poison aura together and see if you are able to withstand it! If even a Nine Star poison master like you is unable to withstand it, it should be obvious that the poison aura is real! "
Lin Jianghai chuckled softly.
Even though there was no pill to serve as evidence, the poison aura emanating from the young lady before him was the best proof.
While it might not pose much of a threat to one's physical body and soul, if one were to absorb too much of it, even a Nine Star poison master would find it hard to withstand it.
To be able to emanate such power, it was definitely not something that could be faked.
"This …"
Shen Jue was taken aback.
With his eye of discernment and knowledge, he could easily tell whether the young lady before him was the real Innate Poison Body or not. However, given that he was about to become the head of the Poison Hall, there was a good chance that he would fall into the hands of another.
This was something that he was unwilling to do.
"Since you have created the Innate Poison Body, it is only right for you to disguise it as well. You prepared a lethal poison beforehand so that Guardian Shen might fall into your trap if he were to absorb it … There's no need to resort to such petty tricks!"
Eminence Wang sneered.
"Indeed. Others might not understand you, but I do. If you don't wish to die, just say so. It's laughable how you were acting so righteously before. The Poison Hall has really misjudged you …" Eminence He sneered coldly.
"There's no need for you to intentionally change the topic and frame me! If the Innate Poison Body could be faked so easily, our Poison Hall wouldn't have fallen apart for so many years! " Lin Jianghai waved his hands. "We can invite the wills of our predecessors and have them make a fair judgment on the matter!"
Just like the Master Teacher Academy, the Poison Temple had also left behind the wills of its predecessors. If they were unable to verify the identity of the other party, they could easily invite them over.
The will of the ancestor would not lie, and there were no personal feelings in it, so it could make a fair judgment.
"There's no need for us to consult the will of our ancestors over such a trivial matter. Aren't we just trying to figure out whether she possesses the Innate Poison Body or not? It's very simple. I'll check to see if she's poisoned … "
Shen Jue frowned as he turned his gaze over.
He was certain that the young man before him possessed the Innate Poison Body. If he were to invite his ancestor over, even if he were to go through all the trouble to obtain the Tome of Poison Legacy, the position of Hall Master would have nothing to do with him anymore.
He might be strong, but compared to the Innate Poison Body, he was still too weak.
Rumble!
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jue reached out to grab Wei Ruyan.
Hula!
Supported by the zhenqi, the young lady slowly floated up into the air. She stood quietly in the air with her eyes closed, like a sleeping beauty.
"Let me take a look …"
Shen Jue's Primordial Spirit immediately extended toward Wei Ruyan. Killing intent flashed across his eyes, and he discreetly sent a sliver of his will into the young lady's body.
He was going to kill the young lady in the name of checking on her body.
Once the young lady was dead, no matter how good his words were, it would all be a lie.
What founder? What Innate Poison Body? None of that mattered.
At the very least, he could push the blame onto Lin Jianghai, saying that he had used too much poison in order to disguise the Innate Poison Body, thus harming the young lady.
In any case, the young lady had been unconscious ever since she appeared. Even if she were to die, no one would be able to argue against it.
His movements were extremely subtle, such that Lin Jianghai didn't think that the Right Guardian of the Poison Temple would be so despicable as to kill the founder before everyone. As such, he didn't notice Shen Jue's movements at all.
Hu!
As soon as the sliver of will entered the young lady's body, it swiftly surged toward her consciousness.
As a Nine Star poison master, his strength had already reached an unfathomable level. Even though it was just a sliver of his will, it was still powerful enough to overwhelm even Saint 6-dan experts.
Huala!
Entering the depths of her consciousness, Shen Jue saw a young lady floating quietly within her consciousness. Her eyes were tightly shut, and a faint poisonous aura was emanating from her body.
It really is the Innate Poison Soul Constitution … Shen Jue narrowed his eyes, and his complexion turned even more awful.
It was already extremely difficult to find someone with the Innate Poison Body, so if this young lady were to survive, even if he were to inherit the position of the hall master, it wouldn't be long before he would have to abdicate his position!
The Innate Poison Body was simply too frightening. If she were to learn how to use poison, her cultivation would surely soar by leaps and bounds. Even with his current strength, he wouldn't stand a chance against the other party.
"I have been preparing for this position for several centuries. I won't allow you to snatch it away from me, no matter who you are!"
With a cold glint in his eyes, Shen Jue bellowed furiously as he formed a sharp sword with his palm and slashed it toward the young lady.
The sword was as swift as a bolt of lightning, imbued with a chilling intent. Putting aside the unconscious young lady, even if she were awake, she wouldn't be able to withstand it!
Tzla!
Just as the sword was about to strike the young lady, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth from Wei Ruyan's consciousness. Following which, a powerful surge of energy burst forth from her body and blocked the sword.
"What?"
Shen Jue narrowed his eyes in astonishment. Following which, a figure abruptly appeared before him.
It was also a will. Even though it wasn't a Primordial Spirit, it carried the aura of the world's acknowledgement, making him feel as steady as a mountain.
"Celestial Master Teacher? You are … Kong Shi? "
Shen Jue's face darkened in shock.
He didn't think that he would encounter another will here, and a Celestial Master Teacher at that! This was unbelievable!
There had only been one Celestial Master Teacher in history, and that was the World's Teacher. Could the person before him be him?
"Humph, how dare you make a move on my student?
The figure narrowed his eyes as he raised his hand.
Tzzzzz!
Several surges of zhenqi immediately gushed into the young lady's consciousness. These surges of zhenqi harnessed the might of the world, as if the heavens were punishing the young lady.
"No …"
Shen Jue narrowed his eyes. He wanted to explain himself, but it was already too late.
As if hot oil coming into contact with a spark, the young lady's will burst into flames. Before she could even let out a cry of agony, she had already been reduced to ashes.
Pu!
As soon as the young lady's will was destroyed, Shen Jue, who had been checking on Wei Ruyan, suddenly spurted a mouthful of fresh blood.
That was a sliver of his will that he had discreetly torn from his Primordial Spirit. Even his main body was caught off guard by the sudden attack, resulting in him sustaining light injuries.
"Guardian Shen …"
Not expecting the 'new sanctum head' they were supporting to spurt blood after checking on the young lady, Eminence Wang and Eminence He hurriedly rushed forward to clarify the matter, only to see the eyes of the Right Guardian of the Poison Temple widened in horror, as if he had seen some kind of monster.
"Hurry up and leave!"
With a pale face, Shen Jue immediately turned around to leave. However, before he could even fly into the air, he could already feel an indomitable aura emanating from the young lady. It felt as if the world was collapsing around him, leaving him with no place to hide.
Hong long long!
The young lady slowly floated into the air. Her luscious black hair fluttered despite the lack of wind, and her tightly shut eyes, coupled with the poisonous aura that she was emanating, it was truly a sight to behold.
"Do you think that you'll be able to escape after using your Primordial Spirit to assault my soul?"
A calm voice sounded from within the young lady's body, carrying an irresistible will. It was impossible to tell whether the voice belonged to a man or a woman, but as it fell into the ears of the crowd, it felt as if an explosion had erupted in their hearts.
"Assault?"
"Guardian Shen wasn't checking on her earlier but an assault?"
Everyone beneath the dueling ring was taken aback. They turned to look at Shen Jue furiously.
They had thought that he was only checking on the young lady to see if she possessed the Innate Poison Body or not, but who could have thought that he was actually trying to kill her?
"Shen Jue, you …"
Lin Jianghai was so furious that he felt as if he could explode at any moment.
The other party had made a move right under his nose, but he had not noticed it at all … If something had really happened to the founder, how was he supposed to answer to that?
"I …"
Shen Jue's face paled. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I was only testing you. I have no intention of killing you …"
"Testing you? Humph, I have lived for tens of thousands of years and founded the Poison Temple myself. Do I need a junior like you to test me? Who do you think you are? "
The young lady's eyes were still tightly shut, but her body was slowly descending from the sky. With every step she took, the pressure on Shen Jue increased by twofold. His scalp was already drenched in sweat, and he was on the verge of collapsing.
He was a Nine Star poison master, and his fighting prowess had already reached a frightening level. Yet, before the other party, he was still no different from a puppet, unable to put up the slightest resistance!
"I …"
Shen Jue was rendered speechless.
To be able to obliterate his consciousness with a single move, the other party's strength was definitely far above his!
More importantly, he suspected that the other party was Kong Shi. For a moment, he felt his entire body going limp, and he felt completely powerless.
"Back then, no one dared to make a move on me. Yet, a junior like you, who has inherited my heritage, actually dared to make a move on me. You sure are brazen!"
The young lady's voice sounded like rumbling thunder. Every single word of hers pierced Shen Jue's eardrums, leaving him at a loss as to how to respond.
"Elder, I really didn't intend to make a move on you. I just wanted to see who you are …"
Shen Jue hurriedly said.
"Do you know who I am now?"
The young lady's face was cold.
"Who in the world are you? Why are you trying to play tricks here?"
Before Shen Jue could reply, Eminence Wang had already bellowed furiously.
He hadn't experienced what had happened in Wei Ruyan's body, so he didn't know how fearsome the young lady before him was. As such, even if the other party's aura wasn't weak, he was confident that he would be able to stand against her with his current strength.
"Who am I?"
The young lady sneered coldly.
Huala!
A book flew out from her glabella, and it grew larger and larger. In the blink of an eye, it had already grown to a size of several hundred meters. It harnessed the might of the heavens, rendering one incapable of escaping at all.
Peng!
Before Eminence Wang could even process what was going on, he was already smashed into a meat patty.
"Do you know who I am now?"
Placing her hands behind her back, the young lady floated in the air, reminiscent of a deity.
"Founder, spare us!"
Shen Jue and Eminence He immediately kneeled to the ground.
