The Poison Temple was an existence revered by all normal cultivators.
No matter how strong one was, it would be hard for them to guard against the poisonous gas.
Initially, no one had noticed that Liao Xun had come out with the Lin Clan. However, when they heard the shout, they realized that … it was actually the new Hall Master of the Red Lotus Mountain Range!
Although Family Head Ji and the others did not know about this, some well-informed families were still able to obtain this information.
To be able to become a hall master, one had to be at least a 2-star pinnacle poison master. Putting aside Zongshi realm pinnacle experts, even Zhizun realm experts would have to avoid him!
Who would have thought that the Lin family would actually have a deal with such a person?
Everyone's hearts turned cold.
Guild Leader Liu's fighting prowess was indeed powerful, and his attacks were frightening as well. However... poison was something that couldn't be seen or touched. Once one came into contact with it, no matter how powerful one was, one would be rendered useless.
"I'm afraid that Guild Leader Liu is in for a tough time..."
"That's right! It's said that Hall Master Liao can even kill a Supreme-Being primary stage cultivator with his poison. He's only at Zongshi Pinnacle, so how can he possibly withstand it?"
"Who would have thought that the Lin Family would have connections with the Poison Temple. Damn it …"
…
After confirming the identities of Liao Xun and the others, although everyone was furious, there was nothing they could do.
If not for the fear that they would use poison, this guild would have been wiped out long ago.
"We must save Zhang Shi! If the Poison Temple dares to make a move, I will immediately request for the headquarters to overturn the entire Red Lotus Mountain Range! "
Pavilion Master Jiang's gaze was like lightning.
Even though the Poison Temple commanded respect from others, it had its own value as well. Thus, as long as they didn't go too far, they wouldn't be so ruthless.
If this Hall Leader Liao Xun dared to attack the genius Zhang Shi, he would not show any mercy.
He would definitely request the headquarters to send people to completely eliminate this black sheep!
…
"Sword intent, sword qi, Heaven's Path Sword Art?"
Unlike everyone else's anger, Zhao Ya's pretty face was pale and her delicate body was trembling non-stop.
Even though the swordsmanship that Liu laoshi was executing was different from the Heaven's Path Sword Art that she practiced, she was still able to recognize it.
It was definitely the move that Master had taught him!
How did this person know Grandmaster's sword technique?
"Could it be …"
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but turn to Wang Ying.
As soon as their eyes met, the other party nodded.
"Really?"
His face paled.
At this moment, she finally understood why the other party wanted to borrow her sword. At the same time, she also understood why the other party's expression was so bizarre and furious upon learning of her battle with Mu Xueqing...
So, Liu laoshi... is Zhang Shi!
"Teacher, danger!"
She clenched her fists tightly.
She wasn't worried about her teacher's strength, but the other party was a poison master who specialized in using invisible means. Would her teacher... be able to withstand it?
Anxious, he couldn't help but raise his head to take a look.
…
"Your name is Liu Cheng, right? I have to admit that you are a cultivation genius!"
Liao Xun took two steps forward and looked at Zhang Xuan with an indifferent expression. "It's a pity that you met me!"
He shook his head.
This fellow's talent was indeed not bad, but … what was the use of having a strong talent?
He shouldn't have gone against the Lin Family!
Only when the Lin Clan became the ruler of Tianwu Kingdom would the Poison Temple rise to prominence. No one would be able to stop this from happening...
Flicking his wrist, Zhang Xuan whipped out a bottle of medicinal powder. He drove his zhenqi furiously, ready to gush it out at any moment.
Whoosh!
Seeing that the other party was about to make a move, Zhang Xuan retracted his sword.
After the attack came to a halt, Lin Ruotian regained his composure. He hurriedly stood up and hid behind Liao Xun.
"Poison him to death..."
Lin Ruotian roared savagely and excitedly.
It was fortunate that he invited Hall Master Liao over today. Otherwise, even if the Lin Clan wasn't destroyed, it would have been utterly humiliated by this young man!
"Don't worry, leave it to me..."
Hall Master Liao was ready to release the poison powder at any moment.
"Teacher..."
Lu Chong panicked. Just as he was about to charge forward, Zhang Xuan waved his hands. Glancing at the Great Herb King, he smiled and said, "Great Herb King, now that the Contract Gu is gone, you sure are gutsy to bring Liao Xun here to wreak havoc?"
"Contract Gu?"
The Great Herb King, who was watching the commotion by the side, narrowed his eyes and nearly collapsed to the ground.
Liao Xun didn't know the true identity of that 'Physician Bai', but he was well aware... The genius master teacher of the Mingshi Tang School, Zhang Xuan!
Back then, he was the one who resolved the Contract Gu.
Very few people knew of this matter. Yet, he was able to speak of it so confidently. Could it be...
One must know that Zhang Shi's ability to disguise was something that he had witnessed with his own eyes!
Could this Liu laoshi be a disguise?
No wonder... He had been wondering why Zhang Shi and a grandmaster physician would appear in Tianwu Royal City...
So, they were the same person!
"What nonsense are you spouting? It's useless even if you know the Great Herb King..."
Before Liao Xun could react, he bellowed furiously and shot out the poison powder in his hand.
"Hall Master, stop..."
The Great Herb King charged forward as though a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.
"What's wrong?"
Liao Xun was taken aback.
The Great Herb King had always been a composed person. Why was he acting in such a manner?
"Hall Master, you mustn't make a move... He, he..." With a distorted face, the Great Herb King sent a telepathic message to Liao Xun. "He's... senior granduncle!"
"Senior granduncle?"
Hall Master Liao's knees went weak, and he nearly kneeled down on the spot.
Senior Granduncle was a mysterious figure. Even the envoy, Gu Mu, had to be extremely respectful to him.
The reason why he was able to become a hall master was due to this senior granduncle. Yet, the person before him was that senior granduncle?
He nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
"Are you certain?"
Hall Master Liao hurriedly sent a telepathic message.
If the other party was really that senior granduncle, not to mention using poison powder to kill... If Envoy Gu Mu were to learn of this, he would definitely skin him alive and kill him on the spot.
"There's definitely no problem..."
Nodding his head, the Great Herb King was just about to continue explaining when the young man opposite him turned to him and asked, "Hall Master Liao, where's Gu Mu? The Lava Beast has been tamed, right? "
Putong!
If Liao Xun wasn't certain previously, upon hearing those words, his knees went weak and he nearly kneeled to the floor.
Only three people knew of the Lava Beast: Gu Mu, him, and his senior granduncle.
Envoy Gu Mu had already left for Xuanyuan Kingdom, and he had never mentioned it before. Yet, the other party was able to identify it immediately. Without a doubt, the other party was his senior granduncle.
"Hall Master Liao, don't listen to that fellow's nonsense. Hurry up and poison him to death..."
Seeing Hall Master Liao taking out the poison instead of making a move, Lin Ruotian couldn't help but yell anxiously. However, before he could finish his words, a jade bottle flew right toward him.
Peng!
Before the bottle could reach him, the poison powder had already sprayed out, covering his entire face.
As soon as it came into contact with his skin, he felt an itch all over his body. He felt as if his meridians were being torn apart, and the excruciating pain made him feel as if he was about to explode.
"Hall Master Liao, you..."
He roared furiously.
What are you up to?
I told you to kill Liu Cheng with poison, so why did you throw it at my face?
Pah!
Before he could clear his doubts, he felt a sharp pain on his face. Someone had slapped him.
His body swayed and he fell to the floor. His teeth flew all over the floor, and large mouthfuls of blood spurted from his mouth.
"I'll kill you, you troublemaker..."
Just as he was wondering who the culprit was, he saw Hall Master Liao pouncing on him with bloodshot eyes.
Peng peng peng peng!
He was truly infuriated.
If he were to make a move on his senior granduncle today, putting aside the position of hall master, he would surely die a horrible death...
It was all because of this troublemaker. If he didn't beat him to death, he wouldn't be able to rest in peace...
"What?"
"This... What's going on?"
Seeing the frenzied Hall Master Liao, the crowd who was about to help him froze on the spot.
This was especially so for Pavilion Master Jiang, Principal Xie, and the others.
Wasn't Hall Master Liao the one whom the Lin Clan Head invited over to help?
Wasn't he arrogantly saying that he would poison Guild Leader Lin to death a moment ago?
Why... did he suddenly turn against Lin Ruotian and beat him up?
"..."
Clan Head Ji, who was hiding at the very back, nearly fainted from shock.
Can anyone tell me what the heck is going on?
Why did Hall Master Liao, who was so close to the Lin Clan just a moment ago, suddenly go crazy?
That's Lin Ruotian, a Half-Zhizun realm expert! Yet, he was pummeled into a pig's head...
The heck, it's fortunate that I didn't go out just now. Otherwise, I would have died even more miserably...
Lin Ruotian's strength should have been higher than Liao Xun's. However, caught off guard, he was poisoned. How could he still be a match for Liao Xun? After a series of frenzied beatings, his face was completely deformed.
"Alright!"
Seeing that this fellow would surely die if he were to continue beating him up, Zhang Xuan waved his hands.
"Yes!"
Halting his beating, Liao Xun stood before Zhang Xuan with a smile on his face, "That... senior granduncle, I was blind to not have recognized you. I didn't know that you would be here..."
"What nonsense are you spouting? Stand by the side!"
Frowning, Zhang Xuan bellowed.
Why did the members of the Poison Temple come here instead of staying in the Red Lotus Range?
To think that they would try to seize power, they must be tired of living!
"Yes!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn't intending to pursue the matter, Liao Xun heaved a sigh of relief. He stood by the side excitedly, not daring to say a single word.
"Hall Master Liao ran over to beat up Lin Ruotian after teacher berated him, and the students obediently stood by the side?"
Mu Xueqing and the others blinked their eyes in disbelief. If they could, they would have pulled at their hair.
They thought that since their teacher was bound to lose in the battle with the Lin Clan, they would plead with the elders of their clan to help him. Yet...
Before they could even say a word, Liu laoshi had already beaten up their entire family...
Even the Half-Zhizun realm Lin Ruotian wasn't a match for him!
Strength was the result of cultivation, and there was nothing they could do about it. However, the hall master of the Poison Temple was a figure that struck fear into everyone's heart. Why would he become an obedient rabbit before their teacher?
He would do as he was told...
Furthermore, he even pummeled Lin Ruotian, who had made a deal with him, into a pig's head?
The same doubt appeared in the eyes of the others as well.
"Damn it, damn it..."
Just as everyone was perplexed, a roar sounded. Turning their gazes over, they saw Lin Ruotian struggling to his feet. With a savage glint in his eyes, he bellowed, "Liu Cheng, you forced me to do this. I didn't intend to use it since it would consume too much of my energy... Since you won't let me live, I'll make sure that all of you die here!"
Roaring furiously, he tapped his left and right, and two surges of zhenqi shot out.
Weng!
A thin mist rose, and a massive formation was activated.
"This is... the grade-3 pinnacle Slaughter Formation that Crown Princess Consort Lin Long left behind back then? This time... "
"It's really over..."
Mo Tianxue's body swayed weakly.
