"This is bad!"
In contrast to Ren Qingyuan's excitement, Shen Jue's face warped in horror.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jianghai and the others asked doubtfully.
"Luo Qingchen is the First Elder of the Luo Clan, and he possesses a deep understanding of space. The poison that Zhang Shi had us set up earlier should be able to deal with ordinary cultivators easily, but it's nigh impossible to stop him!"
Shen Jue explained.
"What should we do then?"
Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu's faces turned livid.
There were many things in the world that countered one another. No matter how powerful a poison was, there would always be a way to neutralize it. Even though the zhenqi poison that Zhang shi had left behind had been placed before so many master teachers, they knew that it wouldn't be long before it was neutralized. But … they didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
They had thought that as long as they could hold on until the sanctum head returned, everything would be resolved. Who could have thought that the First Elder of the Luo Clan would appear at this moment?
"… That's the situation. I'll have to trouble Elder Qingchen to make a move!"
Ren Qingyuan clasped his fist after explaining the situation.
"What's so difficult about that?"
Luo Qingchen chuckled softly as he raised his hand.
Si la!
In an instant, Zhang Xuan and the others felt as if the space around them had been isolated. The zhenqi and lethal poison that they had set up earlier seemed to have been severed by some kind of power, as if they had been sucked into some kind of dimension.
"Thank you!"
Ren Qingyuan nodded in satisfaction upon seeing that Zhang Xuan had dealt with the problem so easily.
Given enough time, they would have been able to do the same thing as well. However, it would be difficult for them to achieve the same feat as Luo Qingchen.
"I'll do it!"
Zhang Wuheng chuckled coldly as he made a move against the surrounding venomous beasts.
He was still in the air when he spoke those words, but by the time he finished speaking, he was already right before Shen Jue and the others. His palm pressed down, and it felt as if the world was being overturned. Time and space ceased to exist.
There had been no time lapse between the moment Luo Qingchen separated the space apart and Zhang Wuheng made his move.
"Block it!"
Shen Jue bellowed furiously as he raised his hands, and a surge of poison energy burst forth from his fingertips.
"Humph!"
Without dodging, Zhang Wuheng raised his palm once more.
Kacha!
The poison energy was immediately repelled by the overwhelming might, and it seeped back into Shen Jue's pores.
Puff!
Spurting a mouthful of blood, Shen Jue's face darkened. He quickly took out the antidote and swallowed it before he felt a little better. However, he was no longer able to dodge the other party's attack. His chest caved in, and he was knocked to the ground. As if someone had sealed his body, he was unable to move at all.
"It's no wonder why the Zhang clan and the Luo Clan want to form an alliance through marriage.
Ren Qingyuan couldn't help but nod in approval when he saw that the Right Guardian, who was the strongest among the crowd, had lost his ability to fight.
Compared with Mingshi Tang's headquarters, the Zhang family and the Luo family were much weaker. But if the two families worked together, even the latter would have to think twice.
"There's no need to trouble Elder Wu Hen for the rest. Take down these two as well!"
Ren Qingyuan muttered under his breath.
"Yes!" Elder Qu, Elder Bai, and the other elders flew out at the same time.
Previously, it was due to Zhang Xuan's arrangements that disrupted their tempo and the sudden release of an unknown lethal poison that they had been unable to overcome. However, after studying the poison for a while, they had gained a better understanding of it, and it wouldn't be too difficult for them to launch another attack.
Peng peng peng!
In the blink of an eye, Elder Qu and the others were already clashing with Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu.
"The disparity in strength is simply too great!"
Zhang Xuan said anxiously, but there was nothing he could do.
His plan could only deter the Nine Star master teachers for a short period of time. However, it was a pity that his plan had been foiled by the First Elder of the Luo Clan.
Even though the three poison masters held high standing in the Poison Temple, they were still far from matching up to Mingshi Tang.
Pu! Pu!
In less than ten blows, Lin Jianghai and He Guangyu had already sustained severe injuries. Just like Shen Jue, they were pinned to the ground by a powerful force, unable to move at all.
"Don't kill them yet. If the head of the Poison Temple dares to make a move on the master teachers, we'll use them as bargaining chips!" Ren Qingyuan said with a wave of his hand.
Even though the newly-appointed head of the Poison Temple was still young, it was rumored that he possessed the Innate Poison Body, and his mastery of poison was unparalleled in the world. If he were to make a move on Mingshi Tang's subordinates, there was no one who would be able to stop him.
Furthermore, it would already be too late even if they were to rush over to save Zhang Xuan and the others. Rather than being suppressed by the other party, it would be better for them to capture the few of them first.
"Alright!"
Elder Qu nodded. He was just about to place Lin Jianghai, Shen Jue, and the others under control when he suddenly felt a dangerous aura assaulting him. Frightened, he hurriedly retreated, but before he could get far, his face suddenly darkened. Unable to control his zhenqi anymore, 'putong!', he fell from the sky.
"What's wrong?"
Ren Qingyuan narrowed his eyes. Zhang Wuheng and the others couldn't help but be taken aback.
"There's no need for Mingshi Tang to take care of my subordinates from the Poison Temple."
Following that, a calm voice was heard. Following that, the crowd saw a woman in red slowly descending from the sky.
She didn't seem to be too old, only around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her figure was thin and petite, but there was a pinkish aura swirling around her, covering an area of ten meters. Be it zhenqi or plants, anything that came into contact with the aura would be corroded into nothingness.
Ren Qingyuan tried sending his Spiritual Perception over to check on her, but before he could even reach the center of the aura, his Spiritual Perception was severed. In fact, the lethal poison even managed to track him down and nearly infiltrate his Primordial Spirit.
"What a formidable poison aura!"
Elder Qu exclaimed with a grim look on his face.
As the deputy pavilion master of the Mingshi Tang headquarters, his fighting prowess could be considered as top-notch even among the elders. While he couldn't match up to the grand elders who had gone into seclusion, there was no doubt that he was one of the strongest experts in the entire Master Teacher Continent!
Yet, despite his strength, he was still unable to even probe the other party. Wasn't this a little too fearsome?
"You are the newly-appointed head of the Poison Temple?"
Elder Qu asked.
The head of the Poison Temple was far more formidable than he had thought. Even if he were to exert his full strength, he might not necessarily be a match for her.
Paying no heed to Elder Qu's question, the red-robed lady continued descending.
"Our pavilion master is asking you a question! Are you mute?"
Seeing how disrespectful the red-robed lady was, a Nine Star master teacher bellowed furiously.
Raising her eyelids, the red-robed lady waved her hand lightly.
"Ahhh!"
The face of the Nine Star master teacher darkened. In an instant, the red-robed lady grabbed his throat, and just like Elder Qu, he plummeted from the sky.
Ren Qingyuan hurriedly grabbed the red-robed lady and passed her an antidote pill. Only then did the red-robed lady recover a little. However, she didn't dare to utter a word anymore.
To be able to poison the red-robed lady from a short distance away with just a casual slap … What kind of power was that?
He wasn't the only one. The other Nine Star master teachers also didn't dare to say a word. Their muscles were tensed up, and their complexions were awful.
To be able to suppress more than ten Nine Star master teachers single-handedly, even the heads of the three major powers would be rendered speechless. No one would believe such a thing!
This was the Innate Poison Body, one of the strongest constitutions in the world. Back then, even Kong Shi had to be wary of it!
Hu!
Amidst the fearful gazes of the crowd, the red-robed lady landed on the ground and kneeled down.
"My disciple, Wei Ruyan, has arrived late, and I'm sorry for the fright!"
