Divine Sword Token

"What's going on?" Tie Jingang frowned. "Explain yourself!"

Senior Brother Wu looked at Luo Jun and pointed his longsword at him. "It was him! He trapped us with that poisonous smoke, and when the smoke dissipated, my junior sister ended up like this!"

As he spoke, he was about to rush forward to find Luo Jun when Tie Jingang frowned, grabbed his longsword, and even the sharp blade could not pierce the powerful qi in his palm. At the same time, a figure also came forward, golden light in her hand pointing at Senior Brother Wu's throat; it was Ling Xin.

"You..." Realizing his opponent was not someone to be trifled with, Senior Brother Wu gritted his teeth, knelt down with a thud, and turned his threat into a plea. "I'm begging you, my junior sister is indeed a bit willful, but she's not a bad person at heart. Saying she'd slap you or make you kowtow was just an angry outburst... but you can't take her life! If my junior sister has truly offended anyone, I, Wu Xiong, apologize on her behalf. Please, give me the antidote."

"Senior Brother!" The disciples of the Sword Saint Sect behind him couldn't stand seeing their Senior Brother so humble and wanted to rush forward, but Wu Xiong turned around and shouted at them, "No one is allowed to come up. Keep an eye on Junior Sister!"

"I didn't hurt her..." Luo Jun took a step forward, but Lu Fei tugged at him, signaling him not to get too close. Luo Jun shook his head. "It's alright, don't worry."

He approached Wu Xiong and said, "That purple mist only makes people disoriented; it's not poisonous. You, along with the passersby and vendors along the street, were all in the mist, and you're all fine, aren't you?"

"But why did my junior sister turn out like this?" Wu Xiong gritted his teeth and said, "First she coughed up blood, then her skin all over her body started to turn purplish-blue, and even ulcerated... If I hadn't used the Turtle Breath Pill from Medicine King Valley, she would probably be a pool of blood by now!"

The Turtle Breath Pill is a kind of spirit medicine. After ingestion, the body becomes ice-cold, the heart stops beating and breathing ceases, and the person enters Comatose State. In this state, Qi and Blood and qi do not flow, and toxins naturally stop spreading. In the medical terms of the Main World, it is similar to cryogenic hibernation, which reduces metabolism to a minimum. Except for those corrosive and destructive toxins, it can temporarily delay the development of most toxins and diseases.

"We haven't been to Southern Borderlands recently..." Wu Xiong shook his head and said, "But we came from Shannan Town before, where there are quite a few people from Southern Borderlands ... but we haven't had any contact with them..."

"Martial Uncle..." Zhao Jian suggested, "Since it has nothing to do with us, let's just leave it alone. Otherwise, if they try to drag us into it, we'll end up with something even if we don't..."

"Oh... right!" Wu Xiong panicked as well, and quickly sent Ying Er upstairs, telling his junior brothers to split up and go find a doctor and inform their senior sister.

"Probably not..." Wu Xiong shook his head, glancing back at his junior sister. "Her body is covered in sores right now; even if she had wounds, they probably wouldn't be visible..."

"Alright, you don't need to kneel here anymore..." Tie Jingang said, "Take your junior sister upstairs first, we'll clear out a room, there's a pharmacy nearby, hurry up and call a doctor to take a look at her! Besides, it's not convenient for you men to take care of her, where's Liu Moyean? Isn't she with you?"

"From your description, this sounds somewhat like the Gu Poison from Southern Borderlands ..." Li Xinyu stepped forward. He had the most experience in the Martial World world and analyzed, "Have you recently been to Southern Borderlands, or had any contact with people from Southern Borderlands?"

"I swear to Deng, there's absolutely nothing to it!" Luo Jun raised his hand. "If you don't believe me, ask Lu Fei and the others. The purple mist was just a smokescreen. I was with them the whole time after it exploded!"

"Was he bitten by any poisonous insects or beasts?" Deng Qian asked as she stepped forward.

However, this state cannot last. Firstly, the Turtle Breath Pill is extremely precious, and one pill can only maintain the state for one day. Secondly, if one remains in Comatose State for a long time, it is easy to actually die and never wake up again.

Shannan Town is located more than 200 miles south of Tongda Town. It is the southern exit of the Central Province Mountain Range and, like Tongda Town, is a transportation hub. People from Southern Borderlands who want to go to the north basically have to pass through there.

"Luo Jun!" Seeing the Sword Saint Sect's disciples busy at work, Tie Jingang called Luo Jun to his side, "You really didn't do it?"

Others might not know, Tie Jingang was well aware that although this kid's cultivation level was low, his relationship with the Dean and Old Yuan was extraordinary, so it wouldn't be surprising if he possessed some powerful magic weapon.

"That's good." Tie Jingang breathed a sigh of relief, "If we had really killed a disciple of the Sword Saint Sect, it would have caused a lot of trouble..."

Lu Fei and the other two nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we retreated immediately and didn't have any real contact with them."

Tie Jingang waved his hand. "We're all fellow martial artists. They've come to us for help, how can you just kick them out? We'll do our best to help, and then we can explain it to the Sword Saint Sect. That Wu Xiong is a bit impulsive, but once Liu Moyean arrives, he should be able to explain things clearly."

In the inn where the Sword Saint Sect was staying, Liu Moyean was squatting on the ground in Guest Room, holding a piece of vegetable leaf in his hand, teasing a baby rabbit in a cage.

The little rabbit was pure white with bright red eyes. It was only the size of a palm and looked to be about one or two months old. It was fluffy and very cute.

They encountered the rabbit by chance in Shannan Town. It suddenly emerged from a side alley and came to Ying Er, remaining perfectly still and obedient. Ying Er felt a surge of affection for it, so she picked it up and took it back to the inn. She even bought a small cage with a handle so she could take it back to the sect to raise.

Liu Moyean often complains that Ying Er hasn't grown up yet, and that she should practice her sword more instead of messing around with these things. But what girl can resist such furry things? This time, taking advantage of Ying Er's absence, she couldn't help but tease her a little.

"You won't even eat vegetables? You might as well starve to death!"

Seeing that the little rabbit wasn't paying much attention to her, Liu Moyean threw away the vegetable leaves and stood up. Just then, there was a rapid knock on the door.

"Senior sister, something terrible has happened! Ying Er is in trouble!"

When Liu Moyean arrived, the doctor was examining Ying Er.

"I'm so sorry, in all my years of medical practice, I've never seen such a strange toxin..." The old doctor frowned. "Moreover, her Qi and Blood are blocked, and she can't even feel a pulse. I can't figure out what's wrong with her either."

"If her pulse is restored, my junior sister is probably beyond saving!" Wu Xiong was extremely anxious. He looked up and saw Liu Moyean pushing open the door and entering.

"Senior Sister Liu... Ying Er, she..."

"Get out of the way..." Liu Moyean's tone was calm, but one could sense a hidden Killing Intent.

Wu Xiong and the doctor hurriedly made way, and Liu Moyean came to the bedside. Looking at Ying Er's body covered in bluish-purple sores, his eyes trembled uncontrollably.

She and Ying Er had always had a good relationship. Although this little girl was willful and capricious in public, she was as obedient as a kitten in front of her senior sister. She had always doted on this little sister... Who would have thought that her originally beautiful and lovely junior sister would turn into this?

"Miss Liu ..." Li Xinyu stepped forward and said, "We are also very sorry about Miss Ying Er's situation, but we have asked the disciples involved, and they certainly did not poison her... nor is there any antidote..."

"I heard about what happened on my way here..." Liu Moyean, "The Hundred Rivers Sect is a prestigious sect, I believe you wouldn't resort to such vicious methods."

"However, I have long heard that the Hundred Rivers Sect is proficient in all sorts of Mysterious Arts, and I humbly request your assistance..." With that, Liu Moyean in a fist salute. "If you can neutralize my junior sister's poison, the Sword Saint Sect will certainly not forget this great kindness..."

As he spoke, Liu Moyean took out an iron token with a drawn sword engraved on it. "We didn't bring anything valuable with us on this trip, so we're willing to use this Divine Sword Token as our token!"

Upon seeing the token, all the disciples of the Sword Saint Sect inside the room knelt on one knee, displaying utmost respect.

Upon seeing this, Tie Jingang, Li Xinyu, and the others exchanged glances.

The Divine Sword Token is a token issued directly by the Sword Saint Zuo Taixuan. When a disciple of the Sword Saint Sect sees this token, it is as if they have seen Zuo Taixuan himself. They must unconditionally accept his orders and complete a task for him. It is essentially equivalent to an imperial edict.

Therefore, Zuo Taixuan would not issue the Divine Sword Token lightly. Only his most trusted disciples or those who had done great favors for the sect would have the opportunity to obtain it.

The fact that Liu Moyean was able to produce this already represents the utmost sincerity.
