Soul Hall Comes Calling

Emperor Chu Yun frowned slightly and said, "Ask whatever you want!"

Xie Shan smiled faintly and said, "Since Your Majesty has put it that way, then I will ask directly. After Your Majesty cooperates with our Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate this time, our Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate will be in charge of all the Poison Master forces in the entire empire. I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to this?"

Xie Shan's words immediately caused a great uproar in the hall. The ministers were also discussing among themselves, and Emperor Chu Yun's face showed a hint of anger as he said, "What? Does Sect Master Scorpion mean that you help me destroy the Poison Sect, and your Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate will become another Poison Sect?"

"Your Majesty, our relationship is mutually beneficial. The sect leader of the Poison Sect is a Poison Master from the Jia Ma Empire, an outsider. Why should he control such a large force in the Chuyun Empire? Are you willing to accept this, Your Majesty?" Xie Shan said with a forced smile.

"Heh, doesn't the Scorpion Sect Master think it would be better if such a powerful Poison Master were controlled by the Imperial Family family?" Emperor Chu Yun sneered.

Xie Shan said indifferently, "The Imperial Family? Your Majesty, do you really believe that the current Imperial Family still has the absolute power to control this Poison Master's power?"

"You..." Emperor Chu Yun wanted to refute, but couldn't find a reason to do so. The strongest fighter in the Imperial Family now was only a Imperial Family retainer, a mere Nine Star Dou Huang, while the current Poison Sect Master had the strength of Dou Zong!

After a light laugh, Xie Shan continued, "My Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate still has Elder Xie Biyan. Although he is currently in seclusion, he should be emerging soon. When he went into seclusion, he was already at the Dou Zong realm. Now that he has emerged, his strength will undoubtedly have reached another level. Controlling a Poison Sect will be a piece of cake for him. Even the sect leader of the Poison Sect would only be able to beg for mercy in front of the Elder!"

The arrogance in his words was self-evident. After letting out a slight breath, the Emperor of Chu Yun said, "Since that's the case, I agree. As long as you destroy the Poison Sect, you will control this power of Poison Master. What do you say?"

Xie Shan smiled and said, "That would be best, of course. However, to show the sincerity of my Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate towards your Imperial Family, I would like to offer Your Majesty an Poison Pill to help you detoxify!"

Upon hearing Xie Shan's words, the Chu Yun Emperor, who had been somewhat composed, turned deathly pale and asked in a trembling voice, "I... I've been poisoned?"

Xie Shan nodded slightly and said, "That's right, His Majesty has indeed been poisoned by a kind of poison that is not easy for others to detect. Even now, if I hadn't accidentally discovered it, I probably wouldn't have known that His Majesty had been poisoned!"

The Emperor of Chu Yun hurriedly asked, "How deep is the poison in my body?"

Xie Shan shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know how deep it is, but if this drags on any longer, His Majesty's health will surely collapse!"

At this point, the Chuyun Empire suddenly roared, "So this is the Poison Sect Poison Sect! This poison must have been administered by them! I recently discovered a spy from the Poison Sect within the palace. Sect Master Scorpion, well then, thank you!"

Emperor Chu Yun ordered someone to bring up the pill from Xie Shan's hand, and then swallowed it in one gulp. After the pill entered his mouth, Emperor Chu Yun felt a warm current rising from his dantian, and then he felt much more refreshed!

"Good, indeed a fine elixir. Scorpion Sect Master, the task of annihilating the Poison Sect is now entrusted to you. If there is anything the Imperial Family needs to do, please let us know!" The Emperor of Chu Yun appeared very generous after being cured of the poison, perhaps because he was happy.

Xie Shan bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

However, no one saw the sinister smile that flashed across Xie Shan's slightly lowered lips. He was the one who arranged the so-called Poison Sect spy in the capital, and he was also the one who administered the poison to the emperor. It had nothing to do with the Poison Sect. As for the Poison Pill, although it was Poison Pill, it was also a new Poison Pill. The emperor's life was now in his hands!

The Chuyun Imperial Family is already corrupt and decadent. If the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate wants to control the entire Chuyun Empire, controlling the Imperial Family is the best way to achieve this without bloodshed. Now, the Imperial Family is an ally of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate. As for the Poison Sect, it will inevitably be destroyed by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate!

Deep within a mountain valley, atop the main hall of the Poison Sect, Xiao Yi Xian gazed at the somewhat indistinct black mist in mid-air and coldly asked, "Who are you, and what brings you to the Poison Sect?"

Although Xiao Yi Xian appeared calm, she was inwardly shocked. The Poison Sect's headquarters was extremely well-hidden; how did this guy get here?

A sinister laugh echoed from behind the black mist, "Who would have thought that the Poison Sect would actually possess a Woeful Poison Body?"

The black mist's words caused Xiao Yi Xian's expression to change drastically. This person had actually seen through her constitution in a single sentence. Xiao Yi Xian narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "What are you trying to say?"

The black mist cackled, looking at Xiao Yi Xian, "The Woeful Poison Body, ah, that's a body of ten thousand poisons. If it were to erupt, this thousand-mile stretch of land would become hell, no, a poisonous hell. Millions would die in agony, and everyone would see you as a monster. At that time, you would be a figure hated by everyone on the continent. Have you thought about all of this?"

Xiao Yi Xian's eyes turned cold, and she said indifferently, "What does any of this have to do with you? Even if millions of people die because of me, so what? Anyone who dares to speak ill of me, I will kill!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of the Poison Sect Master, your courage is truly extraordinary. But you can say that to yourself if you want, but if you say it to me, then you're just deceiving yourself!" Black Mist sneered.

Before Xiao Yi Xian could retort, the black mist continued, "Even if you can endure the loneliness of killing everyone, have you given up on your own life? Even ants cling to life, let alone you?"

"What exactly do you want to say?" Xiao Yi Xian said in a low voice, her tone already showing some impatience.

Only then did the black mist speak, "Don't worry, I have a way to help you get rid of the Woeful Poison Body. Do you want it?"

Xiao Yi Xian's heart skipped a beat, then she sneered and said, "You have a way to get rid of the Woeful Poison Body? I need to see it before I believe you!"

"Believe it or not, if you want to obtain the method to resolve the Woeful Poison Body, you must do one thing for me!" a voice came from within the black mist.

After feigning some hesitation, Xiao Yi Xian finally asked, "What is it?"

"Destroy the Jia Ma Empire!"

"What?" Xiao Yi Xian looked up in shock at the cloud of black mist!

"As long as you control the Imperial Family and then form an alliance with the Luoyan Empire and the Mulan Empire to annex the Jia Ma Empire, I will tell you how to solve the Woeful Poison Body!" the black mist said.

"I need to think about this!" Xiao Yi Xian said thoughtfully.

Black Mist: "Alright, in that case, I'll come back in three days, and give you my answer then!"

After saying that, the black mist slowly dissipated above the hall and disappeared without a trace.

A glint flashed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She vaguely sensed that this cloud of black mist's desire to destroy the Jia Ma Empire was related to Xiao Yu!
