Detoxification

Qian Renxue heard this and stepped aside, saying to Clan Head Yang and Dugu Bo, "I'll leave it to the two of you."

Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance. Though they had never gotten along, they both knew the matter was of great importance.

Yang Wudi stepped forward first and came to the Dragon Bed. In a deep voice, he said, "Your Majesty, pardon me."

With that, Yang Wudi unceremoniously took out three silver needles and inserted them into the area over the heart.

He then slowly rotated them back and forth, and the silver needles immediately emitted a Green Light.

It really is Seven-Colored Splendor. Little brother, if you didn't die, why did you defect to Spirit Hall and betray the Breaking Clan? Yang Wudi's heart was suddenly filled with complicated emotions.

At the same time, this proved that what Lin Jin had told him was true.

From beginning to end, Yang Wudi had known that the poison in Xue Ye's body had nothing to do with Dugu Bo.

The reason Dugu Bo had been framed was merely because Lin Jin wanted to win him over and had arranged this elaborate performance with him.

And Yang Wudi was an important character in this performance.

That was why, the moment Yang Wudi made his move, he used the Breaking Clan's secret detoxification method.

Of course, to be safe, Yang Wudi needed a special method to determine whether the poison Xue Ye had been afflicted with was truly the Breaking Clan's Forbidden Poison.

After testing it, Yang Wudi confirmed that it was indeed the Breaking Clan's forbidden deadly poison, Seven-Colored Splendor.

"Clan Head Yang, how is it? Do you know what poison my Father Emperor was afflicted with?" Seeing Yang Wudi pull out the silver needles, Qian Renxue hurriedly asked.

"It is indeed Seven-Colored Splendor, Your Highness. This mixed poison is called Seven-Colored Splendor, and it is a Forbidden Poison on the continent." Yang Wudi gave Qian Renxue a deep look.

"A forbidden deadly poison?!" Yang Wudi's words exploded through the Sleeping Quarters like a thunderclap.

"Seven-Colored Splendor?!" Dugu Bo's expression darkened.

As the Poison Douluo, he had naturally heard of this strange mixed poison.

This poison was composed of seven deadly poisons with completely different properties. Taking any one of them alone would cause no serious harm; some could even strengthen the body.

But once six varieties had been taken, adding the final medicinal catalyst would immediately transform them into an incurable, fatal poison.

At this moment, Dugu Bo realized that Lin Jin and Yang Wudi had duped him.

"If you can't resolve the Martial Soul Backlash afflicting Yanyan, I'll make you understand the terror of the title 'Poison'!"

He could ignore the poison from his own Martial Soul Backlash, but he absolutely had to resolve the problem afflicting Dugu Yan.

Dugu Bo's murderous gaze fixed on the backs of Lin Jin and Yang Wudi. He did not choose to attack immediately.

That was because Dugu Bo still remembered the promise the two had made to him.

Qian Renxue's expression did not change, but the hand hidden in her sleeve clenched unconsciously.

"Clan Head Yang truly lives up to your reputation." Qian Renxue steadied herself, her tone carrying just the right amount of "worry" and "anger." "To think someone would use such sinister means to harm Father Emperor! Clan Head Yang, since you can identify this poison, can you cure it?"

Yang Wudi did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Dugu Bo. "Poison Douluo, what do you think?"

"It is indeed Seven-Colored Splendor," Dugu Bo said hoarsely. Although he knew he was being used as a weapon, he had no choice but to compromise for Dugu Yan's sake.

Dugu Bo pondered before saying, "The strange thing about Seven-Colored Splendor is that it is both poison and medicine. The first six ingredients are actually highly nourishing medicines, and some can even strengthen the body. However, their medicinal properties conflict with one another, allowing them to lie dormant inside the body with extremely high concealment. Once the seventh medicinal catalyst is taken, the poison of Seven-Colored Splendor erupts."

"Fortunately, judging from Your Majesty's condition, he has only taken the first five ingredients. The hidden toxicity of those five ingredients, combined with the heartache caused by being betrayed by a loved one, has injured his heart meridians. As long as the five toxins in his body are expelled and his body is properly nourished, he can recover."

"If that is the case, please cure Father Emperor as soon as possible." Qian Renxue's tone was earnest, portraying the image of a "filial son" to perfection.

Yang Wudi could not help hesitating. "It can be done, but the process of removing the toxins from his body will be somewhat painful. It requires my Soul Breaking Spear as a guide, as well as Senior Poison Douluo's domineering poison cultivation."

"It is of no concern. Proceed without hesitation. I will not blame you." Xue Ye immediately issued the order.

"Yes!" Seeing this, Yang Wudi said no more. He merely exchanged a glance with Dugu Bo before releasing his Soul Breaking Spear Martial Soul.

Dugu Bo immediately released his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul as well.

The strength of the two men immediately caused several eunuchs in the room to retreat several steps.

"Your Majesty, pardon me!" Yang Wudi shouted. He circulated his Soul Power, and Green Light flickered at the tip of his spear.

Then Yang Wudi directly thrust the spearhead into Xue Ye's chest.

The Green Light at the spearhead slowly changed into five different colors before gradually condensing into a small ball.

Although Dugu Bo knew he could not intervene, Yang Wudi had said he needed his cooperation, so he could only brace himself and step forward. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor spat Dark Green Serpent Breath at Yang Wudi's spearhead.

This Serpent Breath was not meant to intensify the poison. Under Yang Wudi's precise control, it used the domineering poison cultivation of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor as an "outer layer of isolation."

It prevented the forcibly extracted, extremely unstable Five-Colored Poison Ball from leaking its Aura or suddenly exploding while being separated, which could have injured Xue Ye, who was close at hand.

Yang Wudi focused completely, the veins on his forehead bulging as he carefully controlled the Soul Breaking Spear and slowly drew the small ball containing five mixed toxins out from deep within Xue Ye's heart meridians.

"Break!" Yang Wudi suddenly circulated a massive amount of Soul Power and shattered the Five-Colored Poison Ball.

"Pfft!" Xue Ye's entire body shook, and he spat out a large mouthful of black, stagnant blood.

After spitting out that mouthful of blood, Xue Ye collapsed backward as if completely drained.

"Father Emperor!" Qian Renxue rushed forward and caught Xue Ye, revealing a concerned expression.

"Fortunately, I have not failed you!" Yang Wudi stood with his spear withdrawn and let out a long breath. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he said, "The mixed toxins in Your Majesty's body have been mostly removed. What remains is recovery and recuperation."

Dugu Bo also withdrew his Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul and looked at the pool of black blood on the ground, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Although he had been used as a weapon, after witnessing Seven-Colored Splendor successfully neutralized, he had to admit that Yang Wudi's attainments in detoxification were truly astonishing.

With Qian Renxue's support, Xue Ye slowly sat up. Although he was weak, his eyes were much clearer than before.

"You two esteemed officials truly possess miraculous medical skills! I feel much better."

He looked at Yang Wudi and Dugu Bo and said solemnly, "You two have rendered meritorious service by saving me. I will surely reward you handsomely!"

Yang Wudi bowed and said, "Your Majesty is blessed by heaven. We merely did our duty."

At this moment, Lin Jin stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "Your Majesty, although the poison has been removed, your body still needs quiet recuperation. It is already late, so we will not disturb you any longer. Please rest well, Your Majesty."

Xue Ye slowly said, "Very well. Then at tomorrow's Morning Audience, I will reward you for your achievements."

"We shall take our leave."

The four of them left the Imperial Palace.

When they reached the main street, Dugu Bo suddenly attacked. In the blink of an eye, he grabbed Lin Jin by the collar.

"Boy, how dare you deceive me!" Dugu Bo looked coldly at the two of them. "It was clearly poison from the Breaking Clan, yet you framed Old Man!"

"What was your intention in framing me?"
