Streams of rancid black mud flowed down the Clear Spirit Stone.
Or rather, the Clear Spirit Stone was the source of the rancid black mud!
"Ah!!!"
Seeing this, Hong Xiaochen, who had never seen such a big scene, was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He immediately dashed out at a speed that was impossible for a Dao fire realm cultivator!
The Clear Spirit Stone also smashed onto the ground.
However, the strange thing was.
Such a heavy Clear Spirit Stone actually only made a soft sound when it landed on the ground.
As for the ground made of solid rock, it was now corroded into a deep pit.
At the periphery of the deep pit, the remaining black mud was still churning and bubbling!
"What's going on!"
At this moment, the Hong Family Patriarch cried out in shock. He reached out and grabbed Hong Xiaochen, who had run off to who knows where.
He placed him at the back and looked at the black mud that had burned through the ground with a serious expression!
No one would have thought that this inconspicuous Clear Spirit Stone actually hid such a thing!
"This ground is protected by a formation. This black mud burned through in an instant?"
On the other hand, the other elder's face revealed a trace of horror as he muttered to himself.
Hearing this, the Hong Family Patriarch's face twitched and became even uglier.
Green Daylily Grass, Jade Rhododendron, and River Crescent Jade?
That was bullsh * t!
The real poison that Tianyang was referring to was not these things at all. It was this inconspicuous Clear Spirit Stone that had not been carefully appraised!
"This terrifying poison …"
However, compared to the Hong Family Patriarch's regret, Hong Cang was more concerned about this black mud.
The entire meeting hall was protected by a formation, and the ground was no exception.
Its power could even withstand a full blow from Wu Zun, who was in the seventh stage of the state.
In the end, it was directly burned through by this strange black mud!
If this thing was given to First Young Master Yan …
Hong Cang did not dare to imagine. Perhaps First Young Master Yan would be swallowed by this black mud and killed directly!
"Where did this come from?"
At this moment, finally, a Hong Family elder looked at the black mud with a horrified expression and shouted in disbelief.
This black mud, at a glance, was no ordinary poisonous substance!
If it could even burn through the Hong Family's array formation, wouldn't burning through some Wu Zun be a piece of cake?
The most frightening thing was that this poison had been hidden in their treasures from the very beginning. If Tianyang had not pointed it out, they might have given it away just like that.
Then, the Hong Family would be finished.
"That's not right. My Clear Spirit Stone was obtained from a famous auction house in West Spirit State. Although it's not the best quality, it's still pretty good."
"Given that auction house's style of doing things, they definitely wouldn't do such a thing to ruin their own reputation."
Hong Cang asked doubtfully. At the same time, he waved his hand.
Apart from the Clear Spirit Rock, which had completely turned into black mud, the other treasures were kept in his interspatial bag.
After mentioning the Clear Spirit Stone, Tianyang did not say anything else. It seemed that the only poison in this treasure was the Clear Spirit Stone, which had obviously been tampered with.
That said, the only thing that remained was that the poisonous substance was extremely terrifying.
"How simple."
Tianyang chuckled. "Just because it wasn't tampered with before I bought it doesn't mean that it wasn't tampered with after I bought it."
"As for who it is, you'll have to find out for yourself."
Then, Tianyang turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" At this moment, another familiar voice was heard. Tianyang stood still but did not turn his head.
"This Clear Spirit Stone has been appraised by us and is extremely safe. Why did it turn into this black mud filled with terrifying poison the moment you came?"
It was the elder who questioned Tianyang again.
Tianyang really felt that this guy was either kicked in the head by a donkey, or he was infected by the donkey and became a stubborn retard who refused to let go even when there was irrefutable evidence.
Or he was a retard who was kicked in the head by a donkey and would not hesitate to expose himself.
"When I went to get it, you probably said that I tampered with it. Now that I've asked the Hong Family to get it, you're saying that it turned into poison the moment I came."
"Next, are you going to say that I, Tianyang, am proficient in the Way of Poison and can turn all the treasures within sight into terrifying poison?"
Tianyang chuckled. Hearing this, everyone, including Hong Cang, was embarrassed.
Tianyang kindly reminded them that there was poison hidden in the treasures.
It was fine if they did not believe him, but they even questioned him again and again. They did not take Tianyang seriously at all.
Now that Tianyang casually retorted, not only were they not angry, they even felt that it was a little light.
"You …" Hearing this, the elder who was kicked by the donkey was speechless. Then, his face turned cold.
He glanced coldly at Tianyang, then looked away.
"You guessed right. However, I, Hong Haihan, don't have much trust in outsiders."
The elder sneered, then turned around and left.
Hong Cang smiled awkwardly.
"Young hero Tianyang, Elder Hong Haihan is actually a loyal person. He is not much younger than me, but his strength is slightly weaker. Otherwise, he would be an ancestor."
"It's just that three hundred years ago, Elder Hong Haihan's son was severely injured because of a guest of the Hong Family. He's still in a coma now, so Elder Hong Haihan is extremely wary of all outsiders. He's even hostile. Actually, Elder Hong Haihan is a very good person."
Hong Cang explained. Hearing this, Tianyang smiled noncommittally.
Just as the head of the Hong Family was about to explain, a sharp shout was suddenly heard!
"Yan Family, Yan Shilong, First Young Master Yan is here!"
A loud shout was heard. Hearing this, everyone in the Conference Hall revealed a trace of surprise.
First Young Master Yan is here?
"Quick, quick! Hurry up and welcome him! "
Hong Cang was the first to react. His expression changed drastically. He waved his hand and was the first to walk out of the meeting hall.
The other elders did not dare to delay and quickly followed Hong Cang out.
Instantly, only Tianyang and Hong Xiaochen were left in the meeting hall.
"Shall we go out and take a look?"
Tianyang glanced at Hong Xiaochen, who was at a loss, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Hong Xiaochen nodded and followed him out.
However, as soon as he walked out, Tianyang suddenly felt that the surrounding atmosphere was slightly strange.
Hong Cang and the others, who were supposed to welcome him, were standing at the door. Not far away, a sickly young man and a man in a black robe were walking side by side toward him.
"That is …"
Hong Xiaochen also felt that something was wrong and asked curiously.
"That is First Young Master Yan."
The head of the Hong Family squeezed these few words out from between his teeth.
"The one beside him …"
