Bring Ouyang Ling Along!

As everyone knows, in terms of combat strength, no one of his generation can Tantai Jing Chu Xinghe. Even Tantai Jing, upon hearing this, declared that he was a legitimate Demonic Sect. He said, "Clan Head Ning, please try to say this less often in the future, for fear that Chu Xinghe will misunderstand!"

Let's do business properly. If you want to talk about discrediting Chu Xinghe, I can arrange everything perfectly for you. But if you want to talk about defeating Chu Xinghe... even our Demonic Sect doesn't have such unrealistic fantasies. How dare you even think of that, Clan Head Ning?

Defeating Chu Xinghe by force is simply unrealistic.

But at this moment, Elder Ning Hang proposed a completely new idea.

Defeating Chu Xinghe doesn't necessarily have to be done through force, does it?

We can totally start with Voodoo Arts... If we defeat Chu Xinghe through Voodoo Arts, wouldn't that count as defeating Chu Xinghe?

What invincible Chu Xinghe? Just tell me if he actually lost or not!

Upon hearing Elder Ning Hang's words, the Clan Head Ning immediately ordered someone to go outside and buy a plate of shrimp to nourish Elder Ning Hang's brain. He also urged that unless the clan faces annihilation, Elder Ning Hang should not be disturbed further.

The Clan Head Ning wondered if Elder Ning Hang's brain had been filled with something like that last time.

Listen to what you're saying! Is that even human language?

Yes... Voodoo Arts that Elder Ning Hang mentioned, the Ning Clan does indeed possess it... Before the merger of the Three Continents, Elder Ning Hang unexpectedly obtained a portion of the Voodoo Arts's inheritance in some ruins outside.

After he came back, his abilities improved by leaps and bounds!

Before the merger of the Three Continents, Elder Ning Hang was once the number one alchemist in the Spirit Beast Continent.

I heard back then that Elder Ning Hang was planning to challenge the alchemy masters of the Blazing Sun Continent after the Three Continents merged...

But with Ji Moran's death, Chu Xinghe attempted to seize life from the heavens, and that Question Heaven and Seize Life Pill was actually refined into a divine pill by Chu Xinghe!

At that moment, all the master alchemists fell silent...

Although when it comes to alchemy, it doesn't matter whether it's the younger generation or not. Even if Elder Ning Hang personally challenges Chu Xinghe, no one will say that Elder Ning Hang is bullying Chu Xinghe; they will only say that Elder Ning Hang is courting death!

It's not that the Clan Head Ning leader is trying to boost the morale of others while diminishing their own, but Elder Ning Hang, with your measly 100-200 pounds... you're not even enough to make a single batch of medicine for Chu Xinghe...

While defeating Chu Xinghe in terms of combat strength might be hopeless, it's not as hopeless as defeating Chu Xinghe in Voodoo Arts, is it?

So, Elder Ning Hang, what was your mental state when you came up with such a bizarre idea?

How about you have a plate of shrimp to nourish your brain first?

"Clan Master, please don't be impatient!" Elder Ning Hang, seeing the countless looks of disbelief around him, spoke again, "Clan Master... everyone... yes... I, Ning Hang, am indeed a little bit behind Chu Xinghe in the art of alchemy..."

The Ning Clan: "?"

Ning Hang: "Okay... there is a considerable gap!"

The Ning Clan: "??"

Ning Hang: "Okay... there's a huge gap!"

The Ning Clan: "???"

Ning Hang: "Fine... you don't need to look at me like that... there's a world of difference between you two..."

This time, everyone in the Ning Clan calmed down... Although Chu Xinghe was their opponent... they still had to respect the facts, right? It's one thing to fool outsiders, but Elder Ning Hang, what's the meaning of fooling your own people?

"Gentlemen, in the art of alchemy, I am indeed no match for Chu Xinghe... Fine... I'm not worthy to be Chu Xinghe's opponent, okay?"

Everyone nodded in agreement...

"But everyone, don't forget... Voodoo Arts isn't just about alchemy; it also includes poisons!"

Upon hearing Ning Hang's words, everyone present suddenly brightened up!

Because at this moment everyone finally understood what Elder Ning Hang meant.

Under normal circumstances, Elder Ning Hang's Voodoo Arts was indeed worlds apart from Chu Xinghe's, leaving him with no chance of victory whatsoever.

But poison is a different story... You must know that the Sacred Spring in the very center of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring not only possesses the medicinal effects of elixirs, but also has the ability to cure all poisons in the world.

All known poisons in the world, no matter how potent, can be easily neutralized by holy water in no time.

Therefore, the holy water from the Earth Spirit Spring is also known as the bane of all poisons.

When Ning Hang mentioned the art of poison, the entire Ning Clan was overjoyed.

Because Ning Hang is absolutely right. We can't compete in alchemy, but we have the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring. If we were to compete with Chu Xinghe in poison techniques, no matter how terrifying Chu Xinghe's poison skills are, wouldn't he be utterly crushed in front of the Earth Spirit Spring?

With the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring completely countering Chu Xinghe's poison techniques, tell me if this is a sure thing or not!

Although poison is just one of Chu Xinghe's many abilities, if you can use it to defeat Chu Xinghe, then you can say whether Chu Xinghe has lost or not!

What invincible body Chu Xinghe... This time, our Ning Clan, with the help of the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, will surely shatter your invincible body!

Looking at Elder Ning Hang's proud expression, even the Clan Head Ning couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Don't underestimate Elder Ning Hang just because he's not good at alchemy... but he's got Elder Ning Hang mind... This time, he came up with the idea of using the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring to break Chu Xinghe's poison technique, and Elder Ning Hang went berserk!

If Chu Xinghe's invincible golden body is broken, it will be a huge blow to Chu Xinghe, and even a significant blow to the Vast Heaven Sect. At the same time, it will also indirectly provide tremendous publicity for the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, which has driven Elder Ning Hang crazy!

The Clan Head Ning didn't immediately challenge Chu Xinghe to a duel... suggests that the Clan Head Ning might have other preparations in mind.

The main problem was that an earthquake struck just as the meeting was ending... I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it only shook the small area around the Ning Clan... The Clan Head Ning lost his footing and was sucked into the ditch... It took him a lot of effort to climb out...

However, the Clan Head Ning still arranged for people to spread the news throughout the Three Continents that the Ning Clan was going to challenge Chu Xinghe's Voodoo Arts with the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring as quickly as possible.

When this news came out, everyone was stunned...

Um... why would the Ning Clan, who were perfectly healthy, commit suicide?

Comparing yourself to Chu Xinghe in Voodoo Arts? What's wrong with the Ning Clan's brains?

But soon people guessed what trick the Ning Clan was up to.

The so-called Voodoo Arts is not about alchemy, but about poisons. However, the Ning Clan's Earth Spirit Gushing Spring is known as the bane of all poisons and has the ability to neutralize all poisons. So, the Ning Clan is serious this time!

The challenge from the Ning Clan was sent to the Vast Heaven Sect immediately. When the Ning Clan was about to challenge Xinghe's poison technique with the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring at the slightest disagreement, many big shots in the Vast Heaven Sect were so angry that they almost ordered the sect leader to smash the Ning Clan's Earth Spirit Gushing Spring to pieces!

Not only were the Vast Heaven Sect speechless upon hearing such an outrageous challenge, but even those outside the sect were dumbfounded.

Um... does your Ning Clan have any shame? Everyone else uses cheats secretly.

Did you guys just use cheats on someone's face?

Relying on the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, you dare challenge Chu Xinghe's poison techniques? Have you no shame?

Chu Xinghe didn't know what others thought, but the moment he saw the challenge letter, tears streamed down his face!

It has to be the Ning Clan! Although I, Chu Xinghe, have suffered considerable losses recently, there is bound to be a saturation point in the spiritual herb market.

After everyone bought a lot of elixirs, the losses haven't been as severe as before. Look at the Misfortune Compass; it's still spinning, but it looks like it's about to wither away. It's really not very helpful.

I, Chu Xinghe, have been thinking about how to further increase the losses lately.

So you guys just delivered a pillow when I was about to doze off? If we lose to the Ning Clan this time... just imagine the outside world would be in an uproar...

Regardless of whether the Ning Clan's methods are underhanded or not, just tell me whether I, Chu Xinghe, have lost or not.

If we lose this round, won't the Misfortune Compass take off on the spot?

Just as Chu Xinghe declared that he was determined to accept this inevitable defeat, Chu Xinghe suddenly had a jolt of realization.

Something's not right! Something's not right!

Why does this give me such a creepy feeling?

Could this be the work of the Misfortune Compass?

If he were to go to the Ning Clan to accept the challenge... normally speaking, if he wanted to lose, he would definitely lose decisively.

The problem is, if the Misfortune Compass suddenly activates, do you know what strange things might happen?

What if we accidentally win...?

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe broke out in a cold sweat!

You damn Misfortune Compass! You still think I'm Chu Xinghe from last year?

I, Chu Xinghe, have grown stronger... You still want to trick me? No way! Although I haven't lost as many spiritual herbs as before... I'm going to play it safe this time... I won't be reckless! I won't give the Misfortune Compass any chance to turn the tide!

Chu Xinghe simply tore up the challenge letter and said, "Fuck whoever it is..."

But Chu Xinghe tore up the challenge letter, Ning Clan wouldn't allow it... In the following days, the Ning Clan sent three challenge letters to the Vast Heaven Sect every day.

They stated that the Vast Heaven Sect claims to be the best in the world, yet they dare not even accept a fair challenge from the Ning Clan... How can they be worthy of calling themselves the best in the world?

It has to be said that the Ning Clan knows how to court death. Faced with the Ning Clan's despicable and arrogant attitude, the Grand Elder was so angry that he wanted to close the gate and release the sect leader!

The Grand Elder also knew that this was a scheme by the Ning Clan, specifically designed to target Xinghe. If Xinghe accepted the challenge, he would fall into their trap. Although Xinghe's poison skills were powerful, the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring was, after all, a product of the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. If Xinghe lost, it would indeed be a significant blow to the Vast Heaven Sect.

Enraged, the First Elder declared, "This is all your Ning Clan's own doing! Someone! Go and summon Jiuli!"

When Chu Xinghe heard that the Grand Elder wanted to ask Sister-in-law Jiuli for help, he was so scared that he wet himself!

Grand Elder... there's no need! The other party was just a bit arrogant, despicable, shameless, vile, and courting death. We don't need to involve Sister-in-law Jiuli... that would be too inhumane! It's everyone's responsibility to care for their opponent!

Just when Chu Xinghe was so frightened that he wanted to go himself, Feng Fei hesitated and said... Jiuli might not be able to go... because... Jiuli... is pregnant!

Upon hearing the news, Chu Xinghe excitedly shouted, "God bless Vast Heaven! Thank you so much Senior Brother Feng Fei, for helping me! Even without Sister-in-law Jiuli, this is a sure thing!"

Fortunately, Sister-in-law Jiuli is pregnant, otherwise Jiuli would have massacred the Ning Clan!

Upon learning that Jiuli had recently become pregnant, the Grand Elder naturally dared not let Jiuli overwork herself any further.

The problem is that the Ning Clan is becoming increasingly arrogant. Faced with such Ning Clan, Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng sought out the Grand Elder.

"Elder, let me go to the Ning Clan first and meet them!"

Although the Grand Elder was pleased that Ji Changfeng had volunteered for the battle, he was well aware of Ji Changfeng's strength. Even Xinghe might not be able to defeat him, so Ji Changfeng would likely have no chance of winning.

After much deliberation, the First Elder slammed his hand on the table and said, "Elder Ji, take Ouyang Ling with you!"

Ji Changfeng was overjoyed!

Ouyang Ling was overjoyed!

Chu Xinghe: "???"
