By all rights, Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was inherently cold and sinister, its nature the exact opposite of pure soul power. It should have been impossible for it to contain soul power this pure.
Then... where had this soul power come from?
A thought suddenly surfaced in Dai Mobai's mind, and his gaze sharpened slightly.
