"You mean to say … the one who poisoned you was Hong Yu?"
Huangfu Ming's brows furrowed as he asked in surprise.
Evidently, he had not expected such an outcome. At the same time, he also sensed an unusual aura from within.
The Pill King Valley Lord was incomparably confident. "If it wasn't him, who else could it be? I was the one who gave him the Myriad Poisons Centipede. Therefore, I know very well that I was poisoned by this centipede! "
Huangfu Ming looked at the Valley Head and asked, "Since you gave him the centipede, why didn't you detoxify it yourself?"
"Hmph! This bastard has already altered the Thousand Poisons Centipede's poison. Even I do not have the antidote. What's more, I never would've thought that this bastard would use the thing I gave him to harm me! "
The Pill King Valley Head's voice was laced with anger and disappointment. Evidently, the pain and anger had completely swallowed up his rationality, and his brain had completely stopped functioning.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind – Hong Yu was plotting against him!
Hong Yu felt wronged when he heard this. He quickly explained, "Master … please believe me, I really did not intend to harm you!"
The Pill King Valley Lord snorted coldly, "Bastard, whatever you say now is useless! You're smart enough not to come up with a low-level lie like the Thousand Poisons Centipede came out to bite me. I trusted you so much, and this is how you repay me? Hurry up and give me the antidote! "
Hong Yu finally remembered and took out the antidote from his storage ring. He quickly ran over and fed it to the Valley Head.
At this moment, Duanmu Cheng took a step forward and grabbed Hong Yu.
Although he was a pill master, his martial strength was not outstanding. But he could still control Hong Yu. No matter how Hong Yu tried to break free, Duanmu Cheng's hand was still locked onto him.
"Hong Yu, you poisoned me in front of everyone. You no longer have the right to remain in the competition."
Duanmu Cheng's voice was incomparably cold as he stared at Hong Yu. "But today's matter is not over. You better give an explanation now, or you won't be able to leave this place. "
"I … I …"
Hong Yu averted his gaze and stood where he was, unable to utter a single word.
"Senior Duanmu, Senior Huangfu, this junior's poison has been cured. However, Hong Yu is still a disciple of the Pill King Valley. Him plotting against me is a matter of the Pill King Valley. May I bring him back to Pill King Valley so that I can personally deal with him? "
After recovering, the Pill King Valley Head also immediately regained his senses. He finally understood that Hong Yu's target was definitely not him. Although Hong Yu was the main culprit, he was still responsible for the current situation. Therefore, he still wanted to protect Hong Yu.
"No!"
Duanmu Cheng raised his hand and rejected the request. Obviously, he didn't want things to end like this.
To be able to sit in the referee's seat, which one of them was not a weather-beaten person? Duanmu Cheng might look carefree on the surface, but he was also shrewd. Without a doubt, he knew that Hong Yu's target this time was not the Valley Lord of the Pill King Valley.
From Hong Yu's previous actions, he could deduce that Hong Yu's initial target must have been Qin Yi.
But what had happened in between? How did the Thousand Poisons Centipede come to the judges' table and bite the Valley Lord? Other than Qin Yi, no one else knew the answer to this question.
Although he didn't know the specifics, as Qin Yi's master, he felt that it was necessary for Hong Yu to tell the truth and give Qin Yi an explanation!
However, Huangfu Ming obviously wasn't willing to let Duanmu Cheng have his way. Once he heard Duanmu Cheng's words, he immediately understood his opponent's intentions. Immediately, he said directly, "To be honest, this is a family matter of the Pill King Valley after all. Although it happened in the wrong place, we have no right to interfere. I think it's better for the Valley Lord to handle this matter with Hong Yu. After that, just report to me the results of this matter. "
How could Duanmu Cheng not hear the obvious hostility in Huangfu Ming's words? Immediately, he pointed his finger at Huangfu Ming and said, "Huangfu Ming, I know very well what you're planning. I don't care how you collude with this group of people. However, you'd better be clear about one thing. This old man isn't made of clay either. If you push me too far, don't blame me for being impolite! "
Huangfu Ming obviously didn't expect Duanmu Cheng to be so angry all of a sudden.
He also knew that if he and Duanmu Cheng continued to argue like this, there would be no conclusion.
His gaze swept across Hong Yu and the Valley Lord, and he decisively chose to give up.
After all, he didn't have any special relationship with the Pill King Valley. Moreover, continuing to argue with Duanmu Cheng would only make things worse.
Although he wasn't afraid of Duanmu Cheng, he definitely wouldn't pay such a huge price for such a small matter.
Immediately, he said, "Since you insist on asking for an explanation, then I won't stop you. Otherwise, when the time comes, you'll say that I, Huangfu Ming, connived and conspired with others to conspire against the Pill King Valley! "
After saying that, he directly turned his gaze to Hong Yu and said, "Hong Yu, now that things have come to this, you don't have to rely on luck. Hurry up and tell the whole story, maybe I can still make the decision to give you a lighter punishment. "
When hearing Huangfu Ming's words, Hong Yu's heart instantly turned cold.
He knew that he was doomed this time!
Immediately, he also said dejectedly, "That's right, the Thousand Poisons Centipede was indeed released by me. But my target isn't my Master. "
Suddenly, Hong Yu turned his gaze to Qin Yi. His face surged with uncontrollable anger and resentment, "It's all because of him! If it wasn't for him stealing my limelight and making me feel threatened, I wouldn't have released the Thousand Poisons Centipede to kill him! " "You really want to hurt this old man's disciple!"
After listening to Hong Yu's explanation, Duanmu Cheng could no longer suppress his murderous aura.
After listening to Hong Yu's explanation, Duanmu Cheng could no longer suppress his murderous aura immediately erupted from his body.
It had to be said that this was the first time everyone saw Duanmu Cheng's true expression when he was truly angry. To be honest, this seemingly heartless old man really had a special feeling when he was serious.
