The Young One Had Grown Up; Time to Braise It
The moment the referee announced the end of the match, Li Xianjing knelt down, leaning on his sword.
The drug took effect, and its toxicity spread throughout his body, quickly causing him to lose all his strength.
Mr. Li Xianjing.
The martial arts enthusiasts below the stage gasped in surprise, and the organizers quickly came up on stage to support him.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Xianjing said weakly, "This isn't some strange poison; it's just the poison of Shangli. I've seen it before."
He looked towards the Statue of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable on the platform, and then reverently said, "The Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable will protect me."
He had someone help him up, bowed to the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, and the organizers immediately put him on a stretcher after he finished bowing.
They carried Li Xianjing, intending to find the Divine Physician provided at the Sword Discussion Assembly venue. Strangely enough, shortly after Li Xianjing finished paying homage to the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable, his complexion immediately improved.
When the organizers took him to the doctor, the Sword God was already able to get down and walk on his own, and told the doctor that he was fine.
According to the Toxins detected by the organizers on the sword Wang You used during the competition, it was a highly potent poison that caused immediate death Shangli contact with blood. Even with Li Xianjing's exceptional cultivation, it only prolonged his death.
But after Li Xianjing got up, doctors' tests showed that the Toxins in his body had indeed been completely expelled by some Mysterious Power.
Those in the Jianghu who heard these rumors afterwards couldn't help but discuss them.
"Could it be that the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable really exists?"
Since the start of the Sword Discussion Assembly, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable has actually manifested twice. Counting those young people whose cultivation has suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, the influence of the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable seems to be omnipresent.
Whether it was the Heavenly Gods, Qin Donglai bathed in its glow, or Li Xianjing's immediate relief from the deadly poison after worshipping the God Statue today, these events were beyond the imagination of these Jianghu practitioners.
"It seems to be quite effective. I've been stuck at this level for a long time, should I go and pray to them?"
Some people in the Jianghu world began to think this way.
"What Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable Celestial Venerable? All that nonsense, it's obviously a fabricated lie."
Some people in the Jianghu still hold the original view.
Regardless, the mental support that Bai Qiuran's Consciousness Demon Clone received during this period did indeed increase significantly.
Because it was the combined domain of several advanced Consciousness Demon, the Foundation Establishment Heavenly Venerable's domain had gradually expanded and spread during this period, Mobile along the edge of the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon Domain and surrounding half of it.
In the current Consciousness Domain, the ethereal Heavenly Venerable Domain and the Blood Qi Blood Hatred Domain have now reached roughly the same size.
Bai Qiuran felt that the Blood Hatred Consciousness Demon was almost fully tamed. After this Sword Discussion Assembly ended and the Blood's Delight Sect's plans were thwarted, it would be time to Book of Questions it.
With Wang You's defeat, Shangli People's team members were eliminated one by one in today's competition.
They came full of ambition, shouting slogans that they would win all the first place titles, but now they stopped at the semi-finals and could only return to the Upper Beauty Kingdom in disgrace.
At the same time, another problem arose—their funding was running out.
Although the Traveling Expenses brought by Shangli People were sufficient, Shangli Prince Wang You his money. After getting involved with the Blood's Delight Sect, he even engaged in a Robin Hood-like activity with two Young Women who believed in Doctrine of Pleasure, spending a considerable amount of money.
Today, after Wang You and his group were defeated, they also suffered a lot of injuries. The people of the Great Xia Kingdom and Evil Horse Kingdom have always been unhappy with them. They had been holding back their anger, waiting for Upper Beauty Sword God to use Wang You to avenge them. But today, Wang You used sneak attacks, poison, and lime in the competition, which made Shangli People Hatred even more.
With Wang You's defeat, the warriors of the Great Xia Kingdom and the Evil Horse Kingdom vented their anger on the other Shangli People, resulting in a considerable Medical Expenses.
As a result, on their way back, the Shangli People realized they didn't have enough money to take a boat back. If they wanted to return, they would have to travel by land, enduring wind and rain, and enduring a miserable journey that would take them almost half a year.
Moreover, these Shangli People dared not report back to the Upper Beauty Kingdom Imperial Family. It was a small matter if the news of their defeat got back, but if the news of the prince, who had been boasting so loudly, being defeated got back, it would be a disgrace to the Shangli Imperial Family Prince Your Highness.
At that time, it remains to be seen how the prestigious Shangli Imperial Family will deal with them.
Letting them swim back to the Upper Beauty Kingdom on their own would be a good outcome. The most likely scenario is that Shangli will send someone to "deal with" everyone except Wang You, and then deny that Upper Beauty Kingdom participated in the Sword Discussion Assembly.
What's even more frustrating is that no matter what kind of treatment they will face upon returning, they have to go back.
Once they return, it will be their own motherland, and their own people will have some leeway to do whatever they want to them. In case the Imperial Family really wants to eliminate them, they can hide in the familiar Upper Beauty Kingdom.
But if they stayed here, the Jianghu figures of Great Xia would always be thinking about them. Their actions at this Sword Discussion Assembly had offended both the legitimate and illegitimate factions of the Great Xia Kingdom and Evil Horse Kingdom. In this era, if a few Shangli People died on the street, the government of the Great Xia Kingdom would not care at all.
So, having no other choice, the Shangli People waited until the third day, when Wang You and the others' condition had improved somewhat, before packing their belongings and preparing to set off.
On the way back, because of the defeat, Wang You no longer acted like Prince to his subordinates. His face was always shrouded in gloom, and no one dared to pay attention to him.
A group of Shangli People left the Tu Province City Gradually Growing Peaceful, hired several coachmen from the Great Xia Kingdom, and, carrying their baggage and luggage, headed towards Shangli along the Official Road.
Prince Wang You Youze sat silently in his private carriage, driven by the Imperial Family guards.
After the group had traveled about thirty or forty miles, a group of men and women dressed in similar clothing and carrying a Great Sword on their backs suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
Upon seeing the Shangli People's procession approaching, they blocked their path.
"You must be the Shangli People participating in the Sword Discussion Assembly?"
The group of men and women said, "Our Old Manor Lord has something he'd like to discuss with you."
Who is your Old Manor Lord?
Hearing the commotion outside, Wang You lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the group of men and women, asking them a question.
"It's me!"
The crowd parted, and a strong Old Man named Qin Donglai, carrying Giant Sword, walked out from behind. He looked at Wang You in the carriage and sneered, "Shangli People, you've settled your score with the Sword God, but I haven't settled my score with you yet!"
