"Why would the members of the Poison Temple be here?"
"It's said that the new hall master of the Poison Temple is the reincarnation of the founder. He possesses the Innate Poison Body, and he possesses unparalleled dominance. The Mingshi Tang sent a Nine Star master teacher to investigate the matter, but even he was poisoned to death... Why would he be here to save Zhang Xuan?"
"I've seen Zhang Xuan's information before. He once saved the poison masters of a Poison Temple in Qingyuan Empire and recruited them into the Combat Master Hall. Could it be that he owes the other party a favor?"
"That is only a low-tier Poison Temple, so it shouldn't be qualified to invite the Right Guardian and the Four Eminences here, right?"
"Someone shouted earlier, 'Who dares touch my teacher'... What does that mean? Could it be that those poison masters are Zhang Xuan's students? "
...
The abrupt turn of events caused a huge commotion among the crowd.
Everyone thought that Zhang Xuan would be doomed this time around, but who could have thought that three top-notch experts of the Poison Temple would suddenly appear to save him?
Every single one of those three could cause the entire continent to tremble with a stomp of their feet. If they were to be locked in the same room as Nine Star master teachers, it was likely that the former would be the one to die.
"The Poison Temple has always been a lone wolf, and it dares to leave its nest. Why don't we..."
Elder Qu swayed slightly and arrived in front of Acting Hall Master Ren Qingyuan, making a chopping gesture.
"Over the past few years, the Poison Temple has been plagued by mishaps. Left Guardian Hu Yiwei was captured by Yang shi as a servant, and the other two Eminences are dead as well. Other than the hall master, these three are the strongest experts in the Poison Temple. Even if we want to make a move, we have to be careful.
After a moment of contemplation, Ren Qingyuan nodded.
The Poison Temple had always had a bad reputation, but due to its location in the forest, it was protected by the poisonous miasma and traps. Even the Mingshi Tang was unable to launch a large-scale attack on it. Yet, they actually dared to leave their nest and cause trouble here. This was indeed the best opportunity for them to kill them.
"Ren shi, rest assured. The Poison Temple has always been an unstable factor, and we have already made preparations to deal with them. If they had chosen to hide in the valley, they might have suffered a huge loss, but to come here... Humph, this is definitely the day they die!"
Elder Qu's eyes turned cold.
"That's great!"
Ren Qingyuan nodded. With a light wave of his hand, the dozen or so Nine Stars master teachers in the air immediately understood his intentions and discreetly spread out to seal off all possible escape routes.
Paying no heed to the actions of the master teacher in the sky and the danger that was about to befall them, Shen Jue, Lin Jianghai, and the others turned their gazes to the young man before them.
To be able to make their Hall Master acknowledge him as his teacher, they were curious to see just what kind of figure he was.
After reading it, he was slightly disappointed.
The young man before him was not too old, and his cultivation was not too high either. While his appearance was not too bad, for the Poison Temple to put their lives on the line to save him, it seemed like he was still lacking.
He had no idea why the Hall Master would make such a decision.
Despite the bewilderment in their hearts, they didn't show it on their faces. All of them kneeled down on a single knee.
"This girl …"
Zhang Xuan didn't expect the Poison Temple to come out in full force and send people to rescue him. While he was moved, he also felt a little helpless.
Poison masters were at odds with the Mingshi Tang, and it would be disastrous if unnecessary trouble arose because of this.
While continuing to reforge Zhao Ya's meridians, Zhang Xuan suddenly turned to Zhang Xuan and asked, "Where's your Hall Master?"
He had heard the voice earlier, but the distance was extremely far away. Since they had come all the way here to save him, why was he missing instead?
"Reporting to Zhang Shi, our Hall Master said that the Mingshi Tang Sect is shameless for daring to make a move on you … She instructed us to save you first while she roams the surrounding Mingshi Tang Sect and poisons a bunch of master teachers …"
Lin Jianghai clasped his fist.
"Roam the surrounding area? Poison a bunch of master teachers? "Zhang Xuan's eyelids twitched.
Wei Ruyan had been ill since she was young, and she had been living a half-dead life all this while. What might be considered as rules in the eyes of others meant nothing to her. Yet, in order to save him … she was really willing to do such a thing.
"How dare you!"
Upon hearing those words, the master teachers in the area nearly fell from the sky, and they flew into a fit of rage.
This was especially so for Ren Qingyuan, who nearly exploded on the spot.
The head of the Poison Temple possessed the Innate Poison Body, and her poison arts were unparalleled in the world. Even Nine Stars master teachers were no match for her, needless to say, ordinary master teachers. If she were to make a move personally, all of the master teachers in the surrounding Mingshi Tang Sect would fall victim to her poison!
"Capture the three of them and Zhang Xuan!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Elder Qian bellowed.
He had been unwilling to allow the master teachers to make a move earlier out of consideration for his identity, but in this dire situation, he couldn't care less anymore.
If the master teachers were to really be injured, the four of them would serve as a bargaining chip.
"Yes!"
Hearing Elder Qu's command, the master teachers roared in unison. Elder Qu leaped forward and struck Shen Jue with his palm.
Si la!
The air in the surroundings suddenly became viscous, and the overwhelming might of the palm strike threatened to tear a hole through the ground.
While Elder Qu couldn't be considered as the strongest of the Nine Stars master teachers in the Mingshi Tang Sect, he was still a formidable expert whose cultivation had surpassed Saint 9-dan. With his furious strike, his zhenqi churned furiously, and the buildings in the Blacksmith Guild succumbed to his might and collapsed.
"You want to kill me? You aren't strong enough to do so alone!"
Seeing the other party's attack, Shen Jue's lips curled up as he harrumphed coldly.
As the Right Guardian of the Poison Temple and an expert who had nearly become the hall master, Shen Jue's strength was not to be underestimated. As the two palms collided, Elder Qu felt his palm being swiftly corroded by an invisible force, leaving his skin on the verge of burning.
"It's lethal poison!"
Narrowing his eyes, Elder Qu flicked his wrist, and a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Hong long!
A surge of energy gushed out from the jade bottle, and as soon as it came into contact with Shen Jue's palm strike, it immediately dissipated.
"Tianyun Holy Water? The Mingshi Tang Sect sure is extravagant! "
Shen Jue's complexion turned awful.
The Tianyun Holy Water was a saint artifact specially concocted by the Physician Guild, and it was capable of neutralizing all kinds of poisons. Yet, the other party had actually taken out so much of it at once. Even his poison arts had been affected to a certain extent.
"Of course, it's best to be well-prepared when dealing with despicable fellows like you!"
Seeing that the Tianyun Holy Water was effective in fending off Shen Jue's attack, Elder Qu bellowed furiously. "Everyone, hurry up and make your move. Let's kill all of them and make sure that the poison master occupation vanishes from the face of the Master Teacher Continent! "
"Alright!"
The spirit of the master teachers jolted, and they swiftly whipped out all kinds of treasures.
Huala!
All kinds of energy rained down on Shen Jue like a storm.
"Protect Zhang Shi!"
Seeing that so many master teachers from the Mingshi Tang Sect were actually ganging up on Shen Jue, Lin Jianghai's face warped in horror.
"Alright!"
Only then did the other two master teachers recall their purpose, and they hurriedly stepped forward to form a protective barrier around Shen Jue.
Boom boom boom!
As powerful as the three of them were, they were only on par with ordinary 9-star master teachers. On top of that, Zhang Wuheng, You Ruoxin, Zhan shi, and the others made a move simultaneously. In less than two breaths, cracks began to appear on the barrier, and the three of them spurted a mouthful of blood.
"Abandon the protective barrier and listen to my instructions!"
Just as the three of them were about to reach their limits, Zhang Xuan shook his head and commanded calmly.
