"Since the symptoms aren't obvious, how can you be sure that the poison is fierce?"
"Zhao Li said it was Lu Yiye's judgment."
"Tell them to return to the Sect as soon as possible!"
"I've already sent a message to them."
At Heaven Expanse Sect's station, at a table, Lu Ye looked at Zhao Li and watched as two streams of blood flowed out of his nostrils before suddenly turning around and punching Giant Armor's nose.
This punch was so powerful that Giant Armor was a little stunned. It looked at Lu Ye with a puzzled expression, and then blood flowed out of its nostrils.
"Punch me," Lu Ye said to Giant Armor.
Giant Armor raised his hand and scratched his head, replying in a muffled voice, "I won't."
Lu Ye was speechless and could only slam his head against the table in front of him, seeing stars for a moment before he raised his head and sniffed.
Zhao Li was a little dizzy and his voice was weak as he asked, "Brother Yiye, what are you doing?"
"Let's go to your Heaven Expanse Sect's Sect!" Lu Ye called out to Giant Armor.
Giant Armor stood up as if nothing had happened and picked up Zhao Li, who was still a little unsteady on his feet.
"Pick me up too," Lu Ye hurriedly shouted.
"Oh."
Giant Armor lifted Lu Ye up, placed him on his shoulder, and strode off in the direction of Heaven Expanse Sect's Heavenly Secret Hall. Along the way, the Heaven Expanse Sect disciples who saw this scene were all confused, but soon news spread that the Blue Blood Sect's guests and their Sect Guardian Zhao Li had all been poisoned.
Many Heaven Expanse Sect disciples were in an uproar as they finally understood why their station had suddenly been sealed off and why they were investigating who was not inside.
Lu Ye had just arrived at Heaven Expanse Sect's station and had already been poisoned. The culprit was obviously a Heaven Expanse Sect disciple, and one who had access to the food.
This kind of matter was not difficult to investigate, so the culprit could not be concealed. If he wanted to live, he could only leave Heaven Expanse Sect's station as soon as possible.
Anyone who had access to the food and left the station within an hour was definitely the culprit.
It was just that no one had expected Lu Ye's Innate Skill Tree to be able to burn poison, so he was the first to notice it. This led to the person who made the move in the dark not expecting himself to be exposed so quickly. Therefore, as long as the Sky Expanse Sect acted fast enough, they still had a chance to catch the person who escaped.
Right now, Lu Ye was only glad that Hu Po only ate raw meat and did not eat the food on the table.
Judging from Zhao Li and Giant Armor's reactions, the weaker one's constitution was, the greater the reaction. That was why Giant Armor acted as if nothing had happened. However, once the poison erupted, Giant Armor might not be able to withstand it.
There was a high chance that they would not be able to withstand it. Since the Myriad Demon Ridge had already made a move, they would definitely ensure that nothing went wrong.
Lu Ye and Zhao Li had already formed an alliance, and Ju Jia had been accepted as an in-name disciple of the Jade Blood Sect. Therefore, even if the two of them were not from the Heaven Expanse Sect, they could use the Heaven Expanse Sect's Heaven Pillar to enter the Heaven Expanse Sect.
When they arrived at the main sect, the higher-ups of the Sky Expanse Sect, who had already received the news, were waiting for them under Yu Xiao's lead. Their expressions were gloomy.
A member of Jade Blood Sect had died in their territory, so no matter what, they couldn't absolve themselves from the blame. If Lu Ye died in Heaven Expanse Sect, they didn't know how to explain it to Jade Blood Sect.
Heaven Expanse Sect's medical cultivators had already made preparations. After a while, the three of them were placed in a room, and each of them was taken care of by a medical cultivator.
At this time, Zhao Li's situation was very bad. He was constantly vomiting blood and looked very dispirited. The medical cultivator in charge of treating him was very busy.
Giant Armor also had some reactions, but his symptoms weren't as serious as Zhao Li's.
As for Lu Ye, his head tilted and he fainted after arriving at the Heaven Expanse Sect's main sect.
The medical cultivator in charge of him carefully examined him and raised her eyebrows.
Things weren't simple.
She carefully examined him for a moment and confirmed that she wasn't mistaken. Then, she got up and came to Yu Xiao's side and whispered a few words.
Yu Xiao showed a surprised look and whispered, "Are you sure?"
The female medical cultivator with Third-Order True Lake cultivation nodded, "I'm sure."
Yu Xiao had a lot of trust in the medical skills of this medical cultivator. She could be said to be the most skilled medical cultivator in the entire Heaven Expanse Sect. No one else could compare to her.
Sending their most skilled medical cultivator to treat Lu Ye showed that Heaven Expanse Sect had put a lot of thought into this.
"Then go take care of Zhao Li," Yu Xiao ordered. While he let out a long breath, he was worried about his disciple again.
However, he was the Sect Master after all. He quickly understood Lu Ye's intentions and didn't expose him. He just let him lie there.
Time passed by. With the medical cultivator's help, Zhao Li's condition slowly stabilized. As for Giant Armor, his reaction wasn't too big.
After a night, Zhao Li's aura completely stabilized. Obviously, his life was no longer in danger, but he still didn't wake up. Giant Armor also fell asleep.
The female medical cultivator walked to Yu Xiao's side and reported, "Sect Master, the poison in their bodies has been removed."
"That means they're fine?" Yu Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Li was talented and quick-witted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to sit in the position of Guardian. It would be a great loss if he died like this.
The female medical cultivator said, "Logically speaking, they should be fine, but judging from their reactions, I suspect …"
"Suspect what?"
"I suspect that the poison doesn't only affect the body, but also the soul." This was also the reason why the medical cultivator could remove the poison so easily.
Yu Xiao's expression instantly turned serious. "Are you sure?"
The female medical cultivator glanced at Zhao Li and Giant Armor who were lying there. "Seventy percent!"
"That's troublesome."
Poison that targeted the soul was the most difficult to remove. If the poisoned person was at the Divine Ocean Realm, then it would be fine. At this level, the power of the soul could be directly seen. It would be easier to remove the poison. But then again, Divine Ocean Realm cultivators wouldn't be so easily poisoned.
Zhao Li and Giant Armor were only Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. Although they had their own souls, that was an innate power. If their cultivation level wasn't high enough, they couldn't use it at will. They couldn't cooperate with the medical cultivator to remove the poison. Now that both of them were unconscious, there was no need to talk about cooperating.
Myriad Demon Ridge didn't hesitate to use a hidden spy to deal with Lu Ye. Obviously, they were very confident. As soon as the unknown poison appeared, the medical cultivators of Heaven Expanse Sect were helpless.
"Sect Master, if we don't think of a way, they will most likely die slowly in their sleep. Giant Armor may be able to last for ten days or half a month, but Zhao Li shouldn't be able to live for more than two days."
The meaning of the female medical cultivator's words was obvious. Their medical skills were limited and they were helpless in the current situation.
"They are all in the Ninth Order, but why is the gap between Zhao Li and the others so big?" Yu Xiao frowned. They were both poisoned. One could only live for two days, while the other could last for ten days or half a month. The gap was too obvious.
The female medical cultivator shook her head. "I'm not sure, but based on the symptoms, Giant Armor is obviously much lighter. Perhaps his soul is naturally stronger than others."
When she said this, she couldn't help but glance at Lu Ye who was lying there.
Giant Armor's situation could be attributed to his innate Soul, but what about this person? When they were treating Zhao Li's wounds, Zhao Li had told them that Lu Yiye had also drunk the poisoned wine and eaten a few mouthfuls of food, so he should have been poisoned too.
"Old Bai." Yu Xiao looked at his grand elder. "Please set up a Soul Nourishing Formation and place them in there."
Since a powerful soul could suppress the poison, they had to find a way to strengthen it. Although the Soul Nourishing Formation was quite costly and would not be of much use in the short term, they could not care less about that right now.
"This old man will go right away." Bai Qian turned around and left.
"Which medical cultivator in the Mist province do you think can cure this poison?" Yu Xiao looked at the female medical cultivator.
The female medical cultivator thought about it before shaking her head gloomily. "Although there are medical cultivators in the Mist province who are more skilled than me, curing this poison probably isn't something that can be done with just their medical skills. Perhaps … "
"Perhaps what?"
"Sect Master, have you forgotten? The Jade Blood sect has a peak medical cultivator in the first place. "
Yu Xiao thought about it and suddenly returned to his senses. He said in a hurry, "I'll send a message to Old Tang right away."
He had become rather muddle-headed from all the work earlier. He should have sent a message to Old Tang as soon as it concerned the disciples of the Jade Blood sect.
He sent a message and received a reply very soon. Yu Xiao was slightly surprised, as Old Tang was actually already on the way, and he had brought that senior sister Shuiyuan with him.
Yu Xiao looked at Lu Ye on the bed and realised that this should have been Lu Ye's handiwork. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the two of them from the Jade Blood sect to arrive so quickly.
With a wave of his hand, he dismissed everyone else. Yu Xiao stayed behind by himself.
"My friend Lu," Yu Xiao called out gently.
Lu Ye, who had been "unconscious" ever since he arrived at the main sect of the Heaven Expanse sect, opened his eyes. He stood up slowly and bowed. "Sect Master Yu."
He could fool everyone else by pretending to be unconscious, but he definitely could not fool the female medical cultivator who had examined him. She definitely would not hide something like this from Yu Xiao. Now that Yu Xiao had stayed behind by himself, he clearly had something to say to him.
"Old Tang and senior sister Shuiyuan are already on their way. They should arrive in less than half a day."
The War province and the Mist province were very far apart, but Divine Sea realm cultivators could still fly very quickly. Once Lu Ye sent a message, the sect master and second senior sister immediately set off. It obviously would not take them long to arrive.
"You should have heard everything earlier." Yu Xiao looked at Zhao Li on one side. "Zhao Li might have invited you over for personal reasons, but he definitely doesn't have any intentions of harming you. I just never expected the human heart to be so unpredictable. Our sect actually possesses a spy from the Myriad Demon Ridge, causing you and my friend Giant Armoured to suffer. Our sect …"
Lu Ye raised his hand and stopped him. "There's no need to say anything more, sect master Yu. I already understand the situation. Just like how it's hard to guard against a thief in your own home, no one wants to see this happen."
Yu Xiao nodded. "It's for the best that you can think like that. There's something I'd like to ask of you."
"Don't worry. Senior sister Shuiyuan won't vent her anger on the Heaven Expanse sect. Brother Zhao and I have hit it off pretty well. Once senior sister Shuiyuan arrives, I'll ask her to treat brother Zhao."
