Leave a Way Out, and You May Meet Again Someday!

Elder Ji Changfeng volunteered for the battle!

As a former Poison Venerable, Ji Changfeng was also angered by the arrogant attitude of the Ning Clan!

Although Ji Changfeng knew that his poison skills were probably not enough to win, there was nothing wrong with him stepping in to help Xinghe scout the way, right?

After all, I, Ji Changfeng, am a guest elder of the Vast Heaven Sect.

If I lose, I become a guest elder; if I win, I become an elder... That's the advantage of being a guest elder or elder.

Chu Xinghe had no objection to Elder Ji going to accept the challenge... but the problem was, Elder, why did you suddenly send Ouyang Ling along?

We agreed that we would never send Ouyang Ling unless the other side went completely mad, right?

The Ning Clan is just a bit arrogant, they provoke us every day... but they haven't reached the point of being utterly depraved, have they?

We're just letting Ouyang Ling out like this... what kind of chaos will that cause!

Therefore, Third Brother!

Many elders around also spoke up to persuade him.

Elder He said to the Grand Elder not to be angry. Although the Ning Clan was extremely despicable and shameless, wasn't it against the will of Heaven that we sent Ouyang Ling?

Elder Yu also said with a serious expression, "Elder, don't release Ouyang Ling out of a moment of anger... If the situation gets out of control, you'll regret it."

Even Feng Fei jumped out to say, "Elder... although Jiuli is newly pregnant, if it really doesn't work, let Jiuli make the trip... there's really no need to use Ouyang Ling!"

Chu Xinghe n't know whether others panicked or not, but he knew that he was truly panicked when the Grand Elder ordered Ouyang Ling to go with Elder Ji.

It is said throughout the land that Chu Xinghe's Voodoo Arts are unparalleled; not only is his alchemy unmatched, but his poison skills are also unmatched.

But Chu Xinghe thought... what the hell do you know...?

If you're talking about alchemy, I could be the best in the world even while lying down.

But if you're talking about poisons... Chu Xinghe says... in the realm of poisons... he can only rank third in the world at best...

Because ahead of me is the second-best Jiuli in the world... Jiuli's sister-in-law's non-poisonous yet potent poison has reached an unbelievable level... Even I, Chu Xinghe, would still fall into a coma in the face of Jiuli's sister-in-law's skill. Jiuli's sister-in-law's skill is a conceptual technique that ignores level and defense.

Chu Xinghe had always believed that Sister Jiuli's cooking skills were unparalleled... until... Chu Xinghe learned that Ouyang Ling had been learning cooking from Sister Jiuli for a period of time.

As the saying goes, the student surpasses the master... Ouyang Ling proved with facts that she is truly unique in the field of poisons!

Ouyang Ling's poison skills have reached a level where she has combined the strengths of various schools of thought... to the point that even the Dark Moon Clan trembles in fear.

Other schools that study poison techniques usually prepare corresponding antidotes along with the poisons they concoct...

But Ouyang Ling's poison has one major flaw: there's no antidote... because Ouyang Ling said... why must a poison have an antidote?

Isn't the purpose of researching poisons to kill people? If we concoct our own antidote, wouldn't its potency be greatly reduced?

When we can't even cure our own poison, how potent do you think that stuff must be?

And most importantly, the problem with Ouyang Ling's poison wasn't that Ouyang Ling didn't want to create an antidote, but rather that she couldn't.

At least other companies have a formula for their poisons, right?

Ouyang Ling's poison is characterized by something she herself doesn't even know the exact formula for...

Once upon a time, Ji Changfeng was attracted by Ouyang Ling's talent in the art of poison and even wanted to take Ouyang Ling as his last disciple and teach her the art of poison.

However, Ji Changfeng abandoned this idea in less than half a year...

Given that Ouyang Ling has already fallen into this state without any systematic training in poison arts, what insane things can you imagine Ouyang Ling might do if she truly received his true teachings?

Therefore, out of concern for the safety of the Three Continents, no one in the entire Vast Heaven Sect dared to teach Ouyang Ling any poison techniques.

In the Vast Heaven Sect, if someone comes to Chu Xinghe and wants to learn anything, as long as it's something he can teach, Chu Xinghe will definitely teach it to them immediately.

But Ouyang Ling came and said, "Senior Brother Xinghe, I want to learn poison techniques from you..." Chu Xinghe replied, "I can't teach you anything!"

Others learn poison techniques to gain more skills, Ouyang Ling learned poison techniques—do you know what she can do with them?

Even without any instruction, Ouyang Ling still managed to surpass Jiuli and reach an unknown realm by learning from various sources and studying the records in ancient texts.

The reason it's described as "unknown" is because no one in the entire Vast Heaven Sect dares to test the extent of Ouyang Ling's poison...

Everyone says Chu Xinghe's poison skills are unparalleled, but Chu Xinghe thinks to himself, "What have I done to deserve this? Compared to Ouyang Ling, I'm like a complete novice when it comes to poisons..."

Upon hearing that the Grand Elder wanted her to go to the Ning Clan, Ouyang Ling was overjoyed.

"Please rest assured, Elder, I will definitely poison the entire Ning Clan this time!"

The entire audience. "..."

"Ahem... There's no need for that. As long as we win... Let's try not to cause any deaths..." The Grand Elder was starting to regret his actions...

There's no way around it; the Ning Clan has been far too arrogant these past few days. But even Xinghe's Voodoo Arts can't claim absolute certainty against the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring's Earth's Core Holy Water...

How could the Grand Elder allow the Ning Clan to be so arrogant?

Originally, I wanted to send Jiuli to give them a little shock from the Vast Heaven Sect... but Jiuli is currently pregnant and it's really not suitable for her to make this trip. The Grand Elder had no choice... Since the Ning Clan is so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!

"Don't cause any deaths? Okay... I'll try my best..."

"Elder... I'll go with you too..." Chu Xinghe was truly panicked at this moment!

Good heavens, Chu Xinghe originally had no intention of participating in the challenge from the Ning Clan... Although he didn't know how to break the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, the problem was that the Misfortune Compass might cause some unexpected trouble.

We're bound to win then.

But now that Ouyang Ling has made a move... Chu Xinghe realized that this wasn't even a question of whether he would win or lose. If Ouyang Ling were to take action, wouldn't she go on a killing spree?

Between going on a killing spree and being certain of victory, Chu Xinghe made a decisive choice.

We absolutely cannot let Ouyang Ling make a move this time... If I, Chu Xinghe, make a move, I can at most win against the Ning Clan... If Ouyang Ling makes a move, whether the Ning Clan will even exist is a question mark!

Upon hearing Xinghe volunteer, the Grand Elder nodded in agreement... "Xinghe, go and see how things go before deciding whether to take action."

If you're confident, Xinghe, then take action yourself. If you win against the Ning Clan, consider it good fortune for the Ning Clan... If you're truly not Xinghe, then let Ouyang Ling handle it. In that case, it'll be considered bad luck for the Ning Clan...

Soon, in response to the Ning Clan's barrage of challenges, the Vast Heaven Sect made its reply.

The Vast Heaven Sect accepted the challenge from the Ning Clan this time.

Upon hearing the news that Vast Heaven Sect had accepted the challenge, everyone present was understandably surprised.

After all, that's Earth Spirit Gushing Spring. Is Chu Xinghe confident in his abilities?

But soon, when the list of people who went to the Ning Clan was revealed, everyone fell silent!

First up is Ji Changfeng... The veteran Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng Ji Changfeng renowned, and everyone felt it was reasonable for him to lead the charge among the three from the Vast Heaven Sect.

After all, it was perfectly reasonable to have Ji Changfeng help Chu Xinghe test the depth of the Ning Clan 'Earth Spirit Gushing Spring.

However, all parties are still worried: even with Ji Changfeng, can Chu Xinghe secure a victory?

But just when everyone was doubting this, they saw Ouyang Ling's name!

Upon seeing the name, Zheng Yu, who was eating, was so startled that she dropped her chopsticks!

Is the news true?

"True!"

"Hiss..." Zheng Yu gasped, then silently mourned for the Ning Clan for ten seconds.

It's said that Ouyang Ling was specifically requested to participate by the Grand Elder, Zheng Yu even stated that the Ning Clan has truly angered the Grand Elder this time...

After all, the Grand Elder would never have let Ouyang Ling leave the Vast Heaven Sect unless he was in a state of rage!

Not only Zheng Yu... when they learned that Ouyang Ling would also be going to the Ning Clan, all the forces on both sides of the Blazing Sun Continent and even the Demon Star Continent were speechless.

Many people even privately relayed messages to the Grand Elder, saying, "Grand Elder, as the saying goes, leave a way out for others so you can meet again in the future... Is it really necessary to be so ruthless?"

The Ning Clan doesn't know what other families think...

Upon hearing that the Vast Heaven Sect had accepted the challenge, the Clan Head Ning laughed so hard he almost peed himself!

The Clan Head Ning had absolute confidence in his family's Earth Spirit Gushing Spring, and he wasn't worried at all about what kind of people the Clan Head Ning Vast Heaven Sect would send... What the Clan Head Ning was most worried about was that the Vast Heaven Sect wouldn't dare to accept the challenge.

This is the best chance to defeat Chu Xinghe and even the Vast Heaven Sect.

The Clan Head Ning had originally prepared for the other side to refuse to fight under any circumstances.

To everyone's surprise, the Vast Heaven Sect actually accepted the challenge!

Your Vast Heaven Sect is truly fearless!

What do you mean by "number one in Voodoo Arts"...? With the Ning Clan Earth Spirit Gushing Spring at our disposal, tell me, how can we possibly lose?

The Clan Head Ning has already sent people to inquire about that so-called Poison Venerable Ji Changfeng... He's supposedly the number one poison expert on the Blazing Sun Continent before?

The previous Poison Saint Inheritance? Hmph! Let alone the successor, even if the Poison Saint himself came, he would never be able to destroy the Earth Spirit Gushing Spring of my Ning Clan!

As for Chu Xinghe... although Chu Xinghe has inherited the Voodoo Arts, our Earth Spirit Gushing Spring is known as immune to all poisons, so no poison can possibly have any effect on it. Tell me, what use are Chu Xinghe's poison techniques?

As for that Ouyang Ling... the Clan Head Ning had heard about her from information gathered by Hua Xizhong.

A being said to be even more terrifying than the Mystic God?

Therefore, the Clan Head Ning specifically sought out Tantai Jing, wanting to spend resources to buy Ouyang Ling's information from Tantai Jing.

"Whose?"

"Ouyang Ling!"

"What Ling?"

"Ouyang Ling!"

"Ouyang what?"

"Ouyang Ling!"

"Ou what Ling?"

"Ouyang Ling!"

"Sorry, Clan Head Ning, the signal for the communication is bad. I'll hang up now, let's talk another day..." Tantai Jing finished speaking and hung up the communication, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead... his hands were still shaking...
