Green Grass Smells Sweeter Because of You

"Hehe, I wouldn't call it mastery. It's just that due to some coincidences, I've done some research on 'spatial power'." Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled and said, "Didn't you just say that I'm a 'knowledgeable' senior? So, I can't let you down, can I?"

As they spoke, Venerable Spirit Butterfly grabbed the scroll of the <Sword Formula> from the 'Master's' hand and, amidst the Master's unwilling roar, slowly pulled the <Sword Formula> scroll away from the 'Star-Shifting Formation'.

"Damn it, damn it... My <Sword Formula>, this is mine, mine!" The man frantically grabbed the <Sword Formula> scroll.

This Sword Formula is a crucial part of his future plans, and he absolutely cannot allow anyone to take it away. The master is doing everything in his power to try and seize this 'Sword Formula'.

But how could his power compare to that of a seasoned Venerable? His struggles were futile.

The scroll of the <Sword Formula> was ultimately torn apart by Venerable Spirit Butterfly, revealing the 'Star-Shifting Formation'. Not only the formation... but also the 'gentleman's' arms were torn out at the same time.

During the struggle for the 'Sword Formula,' his hands were severed by the Spatial Severing power of the 'Star-Shifting Formation.' He was pulled out of the spatial array along with the Venerable One.

However, these arms are not human arms, but rather a mechanical structure... Are they magical arms?

The Venerable Spirit Butterfly casually tossed the painting and the pair of arms toward Song Shuhang.

Song Shuhang grabbed the scroll depicting "Li Tiansu" and quickly unfurled it to examine its authenticity.

"Aaaaaah!" At this moment, Mr. Array Law let out a beast-like roar, his body sinking rapidly, with only half of his head remaining outside.

When Song Shuhang unfurled the scroll, he discovered he only had one scroll in his hand. He immediately exclaimed, "Senior Spirit Butterfly, there's only one scroll! The other three are on this guy!"

At that moment... the head of that 'gentleman' had also disappeared into the 'Star-Shifting Formation'. After his figure disappeared, the blood-stained array on the ground suddenly burst into flames and turned to ashes.

"Don't panic, young friend Shuhang." Venerable Spirit Butterfly stroked her chin and smiled slightly, "Those three Sword Formula scrolls were secretly replaced by him during the struggle between us."

Song Shuhang: "..."

Senior Spirit Butterfly, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?

"There's something about this guy that interests me. Don't be nervous, the Sword Formula scroll won't be lost. If you're free these next few days, how about we go find him together?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly chuckled.

Song Shuhang chuckled and nodded. Senior Spirit Butterfly's curiosity was really strong.

Fortunately, at least one scroll of the 'Sword Formula Manual' was preserved. Song Shuhang unfolded the 'Sword Formula Manual' scroll and glanced at it; the scroll was the same as the one he had seen in 'Chu Chu's Life Dreamscape'.

However, perhaps because there was only one painting and the set wasn't complete, thus lacking set bonuses, the Spirit Ghost within Song Shuhang's Heart Aperture remained calm and showed no reaction to the painting.

Song Shuhang examined the painting from every angle, but he still couldn't discern any secrets from it.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up. He rolled up the scroll and memorized it.

At this moment, the six disciples of the Chu Household asked, "Senior Sister Chu Chu, what about the three remaining scrolls?"

"Don't panic, my senior and I will definitely find the scroll in a few days," Song Shuhang replied.

Perhaps it was his current 'Chu Chu and charming' appearance that made him so popular among the Chu Household disciples. After his assurance, the Chu Household disciples calmed down.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly glanced at the bloodstains on the ground and said, "Let's go, let's leave this place."

The Venerable turned and left the secret chamber.

Song Shuhang and Soft Feather followed closely behind.

Next came six Chu Household.

Before leaving, the six Chu Household took out the bodies of the two murdered Chu Household traitors... as for the four servants' skins, they were left in the secret room to preserve the scene.

As they left the secret chamber, they saw many Chu Household wearing gas masks converging on it from a distance.

Venerable Spirit Butterfly raised an eyebrow... He didn't want to be surrounded by so many disciples of the Chu Household.

"Young friend Shuhang, I'll go ahead and meet with the fellow Daoists from the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group.' You can handle these Chu Household disciples." Venerable Spirit Butterfly said to Song Shuhang with a smile.

Having said that, before Song Shuhang could reply, Venerable Spirit Butterfly had vanished from the spot... without a trace. Soft Feather also disappeared at the same time; before she could even react, her father grabbed her and dragged her away.

Song Shuhang was left all alone at the entrance of the Chu Household.

Song Shuhang's lips twitched as he looked at the large group of Chu Household ahead.

Behind them, six Chu Household wearing gas masks carried the two corpses out of the ancestral hall from the secret chamber. "Senior Sister Chu Chu, where are that senior and that young lady?"

"They had something to do and left first," Song Shuhang replied.

A group of Chu Household members surrounded Song Shuhang, asking, "Senior Sister Chu Chu, what happened in the secret chamber?"

"Senior Sister Chu Chu, where are the intruders?"

"Senior sister, where are the enemies? How dare they cause trouble in the Chu Household Grounds? Let's kill them!"

"Senior Sister Chu Chu, are these spiky creatures on the ground the enemy?"

A cacophony of voices erupted, each one calling her "Senior Sister Chu Chu"... Song Shuhang felt a sharp pain in his liver.

He pressed his hand into the air, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Quiet down, everyone. As you can see, several of the intruders are dead, and one escaped... This matter is temporarily closed. We'll deal with the rest when the elders arrive."

Miss Chu Chu enjoyed a good reputation in the Chu Household, and the Chu Household present all quieted down.

"Then, send someone fast to the 'Immortal Severing Platform' location to invite some of the Chu Household's elders back and find a way to dispel the fog over the clan's territory."

"Disciples wearing gas masks formed a rescue team to carry their unconscious comrades out of the misty area deep within the clan's territory. If there were any injured clansmen, they were brought out for treatment."

"Seal off the secret shrine and do not let He Ren in."

"Stay vigilant to prevent opportunistic individuals from taking advantage of the situation."

Song Shuhang, in his capacity as 'Chu Chu', issued several orders. Aside from these, he couldn't think of anything else to do for the time being. After all, he was just an ordinary student... and had only been a cultivator for less than two months. He couldn't be expected to be like a clan leader, able to hold up the entire situation.

In fact, Song Shuhang had done a very good job. After issuing a few orders, the clansmen who remained in the Chu Household Grounds began to work in an orderly manner.

After the Chu Household family members dispersed and began their busy work, the six disciples who had followed them into the secret chamber quietly asked Song Shuhang, "Senior Sister Chu Chu, why are these two Chu Household disciples also in the secret chamber?"

"They had already been killed when I entered the secret room," Song Shuhang said, shaking his head.

The six disciples wearing gas masks gritted their teeth and said, "Damn thieves."

"Senior sister, let's take our two senior brothers' bodies away and make their way to safety first." The voices of the six disciples wearing gas masks were filled with sorrow.

Song Shuhang nodded.

Even for cultivators... sometimes life is just as fragile.

Just as the six disciples in gas masks were about to leave with the body, one of the Chu Household in a gas mask suddenly stopped and began to grab the body.

"Strange, it itches so much!" said the Chu Household disciple.

As if a fuse had been lit, the remaining six Chu Household simultaneously began scratching themselves incessantly, crying out, "It itches! It itches!"

Song Shuhang: "What happened?"

"It itches so much." All six disciples began tearing their clothes and scratching themselves vigorously.

When one of the disciples tore off her thick outer garment... a large expanse of fair skin was revealed; she was a female cultivator.

"Poisoned?" Song Shuhang immediately recalled the last burst of dust sprayed in the secret room.

Then, he looked at the two corpses.

So that's how it is... Although Venerable Spirit Butterfly dispersed the dust with a single blow, it still remained in the secret chamber. A significant portion of it must have landed on the two corpses.

Several Chu Household who were carrying the body were attacked during the process.

A very Tyrant toxic fan.

Song Shuhang said, "Let's use the power of Blood Qi to see if we can expel the toxins."

These six Chu Household were all cultivators at the First-Grade Realm.

Upon hearing this, they activated the power of their internal acupoints in an attempt to stop the pain and itching. However, it had no effect whatsoever. In fact, the circulation of their Blood Qi only made them feel even more pain and itching.

"Hold your tongue, don't grab anything. Put the bodies aside... Don't let anyone touch these two corpses again," Song Shuhang shouted.

The Chu Household disciples immediately understood and quickly moved the two corpses of their clansmen aside.

"Spread out and don't move around," Song Shuhang said to the six members of the Chu Household.

After saying this, he cautiously stepped forward and approached one of the Chu Household members. At this moment, if the six family members were to shake their bodies because of the itch, they would definitely transfer the poisonous dust to him.

After stepping forward, he first approached a disciple, extending his fingers to lightly press on the disciple's wrist, avoiding direct skin-to-skin contact.

Then, Song Shuhang circulated the true energy within his Dantian and carefully channeled it into the disciple's body.

His inner energy, cultivated from the 'Vajra Foundation Fist' and the 'True Self Meditation Scripture,' is Buddhist Sect practice that has a certain restraining effect on toxins.

However, this was his first time channeling his true energy into another cultivator's body, so he was somewhat unfamiliar with it.

As the true energy flowed along his wrist into the Chu Household's body, Song Shuhang felt a sudden brightness before his eyes. He felt as if he could 'see' some of the other person's condition through the direction the true energy was traveling.

This was a very strange feeling... Song Shuhang vaguely felt that he had grasped a glimmer of understanding.

The vital energy circulated throughout the disciple's body.

Although the toxins were not expelled, they were suppressed by the true energy, greatly reducing the disciple's pain and itching.

If it works, that's good.

Next, we can ask the seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' to take a look at what this toxin is and how to resolve it.

Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief, then said to his disciple, "Don't worry, although I only suppressed the itch, but..."

He wanted to say, "But I can find some experienced doctors to treat the toxins in your body."

But then... this Chu Household of the Chu family Zi Chi for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he habitually began to sing. "Green... The Grass Smells Sweeter Because of You?"
