Mu Yun was not completely at ease after leaving Jade Toad House. He ran all the way back to Qingshan Town. After confirming that there would be no more accidents, he heaved a sigh of relief. He found a teahouse and sat down.
He took a sip of tea and calmed himself down. He asked, "Gui Yi, if I want to go to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area, how do I go there?"
Mu Yun had to go to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area because the Sky Poison Ancient Pagoda was in the forbidden area. Mu Yun was also very interested in this evil treasure. Moreover, the Sky Poison Ancient Pagoda contained the treasures of the Heavenly Lord of Calamity. There were all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures.
There must also be Black Ice Water.
When he obtained the Black Ice Water, he could wash away the evil aura of the Five Dragon Wheels and give it to Gui Yi to devour. This would allow Gui Yi to recover some of his strength and unlock new secrets of the Scroll of the Gods. It would help him increase his strength.
The huge benefits of advancing step by step really moved Mu Yun. Therefore, he had to go to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area.
Gui Yi said, "All the major sects have special passageways to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area. However, since you are unwilling to stay in Jade Toad House, there is no special passageway. You can only go through the space tunnel in Qingshan Town."
"Space tunnel?"
"Yes. There is a space tunnel in Qingshan Town that can also lead to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area. However, this space tunnel is filled with turbulent whirlpools and is very dangerous. Even your Heaven's Eye may not be able to suppress it," Gui Yi said solemnly.
"Then what should I do?" Mu Yun asked.
"It's simple. Use the Sky Poison Token. The Sky Poison Token is a special protective token. You can enter the space tunnel with the Sky Poison Token and avoid the attacks of the spatial turbulence," Gui Yi said.
"That's good." Mu Yun was delighted. He happened to have a Sky Poison Token.
"Don't be so happy."
Gui Yi's tone sank. "The people who go through this tunnel are not ordinary people. There are many fierce characters. It is very dangerous for you to go alone. I advise you to go back to Jade Toad House and follow that girl through the special passageway. You won't be in danger."
"No, I cannot return to the Jade Toad Pavilion. Otherwise, the Saint Formula that I obtained might be snatched away at any time."
Mu Yun shook his head. He was not stupid. He had finally obtained the Saint Art after going through untold hardships. If it was taken back, he would cry until he had no tears left.
Therefore, he could not return to the Jade Toad Lodge. If he wanted to go to the Sky Poison Forbidden Area, he could only go through the space tunnel in Qingshan Town.
Mu Yun looked around and saw that Azure Mountain Town was filled with people from all the major races. Everyone was in groups of three to five as they lowered their heads and discussed the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda.
"Three days later, the spatial tunnel will open. At that time, there will definitely be a bloodbath."
"The Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda is a supreme treasure of the Corrupt path refined by that person. I don't have any extravagant hopes of successfully seizing it. As long as I can see it, I'll be satisfied."
"When one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening. Me too. As long as I can see the Heavenly Poison Ancient Pagoda, I will die without regrets."
…
Everyone sighed. Time passed quickly. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the spatial tunnel in Qingshan Town opened.
Mu Yun mixed in with the crowd and came to the square of Qingshan Town. She saw that at the north end of the square, there was a tunnel that was emitting a faint blue light.
The spatial tunnel was just ahead, but the people in the square all stopped in their tracks. No one dared to go over.
Mu Yun took a look. There were more than three to four thousand people in the square. The Sky Poison Token was not a cabbage. It was impossible for everyone to have it.
Among the thousands of people, less than one-tenth of them had the Sky Poison Token.
Most of them wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Those who had the Sky Poison Token naturally did not dare to be the first to take the lead. That was because the hunter would shoot the bird that stuck out. Whoever dared to run out would definitely be robbed and killed, dying without a burial ground.
A strange scene took place. The thousands of people in the square stood outside the tunnel, and no one dared to go near.
Among the crowd, there was one person who was very eye-catching.
The people around him were all fierce and unfriendly. However, this person had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was abnormally handsome and elegant. His temperament was ethereal, and he looked as gentle as jade. Behind him were two followers, a man and a woman. They were also quite good-looking.
"Look, the Successor Disciple of the Hundred Tempering Villa, Bai Chen, is here too."
"It's really Bai Chen!"
"The Hundred Tempering Villa was originally the number one faction of the Human Race. However, because of the fight for the throne, it caused a bloody rain and heavy casualties. The strength of the entire Hundred Tempering Villa was greatly reduced, and it was reduced to the worst faction."
"Haha, even if they are the worst, they are still one of the three major factions of the Human Race. Is it your turn to gossip?"
Waves of discussions sounded one after another. The gentleman-like man also became the focus of the crowd.
Mu Yun's gaze also landed on the man called Bai Chen.
"So he's the Successor Disciple of the Hundred Tempering Villa, Bai Chen …"
Mu Yun had also heard of Bai Chen's name. The latter was a Successor Disciple of the Hundred Tempering Villa. His cultivation had already reached the Saint Realm and he was rather powerful.
The Hundred Tempering Villa was one of the three major factions of the Human Race. It was ranked last and was famous for refining weapons.
Jade Toad House refined medicine, Jiuding Trading set up formations, and Hundred Tempering Villa refined weapons. These three factions were the top human factions in the Three Elements World.
In the past, the number one faction was not Jade Toad House, but Hundred Tempering Villa.
Unfortunately, in order to snatch the throne of the Villa Master, the first Successor Disciple, White Salamander, and the second Successor Disciple, Bai Chen, broke out in a bloody battle.
Under the intense internal battle, the Hundred Tempering Villa suffered heavy losses. Other than White Salamander and Bai Chen, all the other Successor Disciples died miserably. A large number of ordinary disciples were also destroyed in body and soul.
As a result, the Hundred Tempering Villa's vitality was greatly damaged and its strength was greatly reduced.
"Why is Bai Chen here? He actually came to Qingshan Town to take the tunnel instead of the Hundred Tempering Villa's special tunnel."
Mu Yun frowned. Many people present had the same question as him.
But soon, a well-informed person began to explain.
"I heard that the battle for the throne has already ended. White Salamander won and became the successor of the Villa Master. As for Bai Chen, he was expelled from the Hundred Tempering Villa and became a stray dog."
"Looks like he's really a stray dog. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the tunnel in such a miserable state."
"After fighting for so long, the outcome has finally been decided. It looks like Bai Chen has lost."
Everyone was discussing in low voices. Hearing the discussions in the surroundings, the two followers behind Bai Chen had furious expressions on their faces. They wished that they could draw their swords and slaughter everyone present.
However, Bai Chen, who was the focus of the entire scene, appeared calm. He was a gentleman and gentle as jade. He did not care about the gossip around him at all.
The discussions around them gradually disappeared. Compared to the gossip of the Hundred Tempering Villa, everyone was more concerned about the matter in front of them. The spatial tunnel had already opened, but no one dared to enter. This was because there were too many people who wanted to take advantage of the situation. Whoever dared to be the first to step forward would be robbed and killed.
"Everyone!"
A clear voice sounded and broke the stalemate.
Bai Chen stood out and cupped his hands towards the surroundings. He said, "I am Bai Chen, a direct disciple of the Hundred Tempering Villa. Is there anyone who has the Sky Poison Badge? I wonder if it would be convenient for you to sell it to me. I am willing to pay fifty Golden Origin Pearls."
"Hahaha, you want to buy the Sky Poison Badge with fifty Golden Origin Pearls?"
"What a joke. Do you know how much a Sky Poison Badge costs in the underground black market?"
"Everyone, stop laughing at him. This stray dog has already been expelled from the Hundred Tempering Villa. How could he have any money on him?"
When Bai Chen's words left his mouth, the entire crowd burst into laughter. Everyone was looking down on him.
Bai Chen's two followers were furious, ashamed, and helpless.
However, Bai Chen himself was still calm and composed. His gentle demeanor caused the laughter in the crowd to gradually disappear.
"Indeed, I don't have any money. However, I am a direct disciple of the Hundred Tempering Villa. If anyone is willing to help me today, I will definitely not forget your kindness in the future."
Bai Chen's tone was gentle. It was as if he wasn't a stray dog, but a god of war that could rise up at any time.
His firm gaze and calm tone caused everyone to not dare to continue laughing at him.
However, to purchase a Sky Poison Insignia with just fifty Golden Origin Pearls and a promise that was far off in the future was simply too whimsical. Everyone present was smart, so naturally, no one would agree to it.
Seeing that no one answered, Bai Chen was very disappointed and retreated.
"Young master, what should we do?" His two followers walked up and asked.
"Yi Zhong, Little Yu, don't worry. We'll act according to the situation." Bai Chen remained calm and collected.
The scene once again entered a deadlock. Everyone stood on the plaza, but no one dared to approach the tunnel.
Even when the sky darkened and night fell, the moon and stars had all come out. No one dared to step out.
"Everyone, everyone is just standing there stupidly. This is not a solution. The tunnel will close tomorrow." Someone couldn't help but shout.
"If you can't endure it, then you go in first." Someone else said.
"Fine, I'll go first! I'll say this first. You're not allowed to cause trouble. Whoever dares to cause trouble, I'll curse him to be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. "
The person from before shouted loudly, and then really walked out, directly heading towards the tunnel entrance.
However, just as he walked to the tunnel entrance, a thin figure held a dagger and slit his neck with lightning speed. Then, the figure snatched his Sky Poison Badge and with a whoosh, entered the tunnel, disappearing without a trace.
This sudden turn of events caused an uproar.
A corpse was thrown at the tunnel entrance. This old man who stood out first was indeed robbed and killed on the spot. The people present didn't even see the face of the murderer clearly. The murderer had already entered the tunnel and disappeared.
Everyone present had different feelings.
Those who possessed the Sky Poison Badge all retreated, not daring to step forward. They were afraid that they would be robbed and killed. As for those who wanted to fish in troubled waters, seeing that there was a successful precedent, they all rubbed their fists and were eager to try, waiting for the next unlucky person to take the bait.
Time passed bit by bit. Even until midnight, no one dared to step out.
Mu Yun saw that no one dared to move. She knew that this stalemate couldn't go on.
