Green Mountain Town, Poison Purging!

Ya Fei and Mitchell quickly ran over as well. When they saw the unconscious little girl leaning against the wall in front of Jia He, they were both slightly stunned.

"Is she the one who poisoned everyone from behind the scenes?" Mitchell looked at Jia He and asked.

Jia He shook his head. "Probably not. She has no poison on her, and she is not very strong. She may be one of the nearby residents."

Jia He then stepped forward, helped her sit upright, took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring, and fed it to the girl.

The pill's potent medicinal effects quickly healed the girl's injuries, and she slowly opened her eyes.

When the girl saw the three figures before her, she immediately became wary.

Jia He looked at her and asked, "Who are you? Why did you appear here?"

The girl pursed her lips and looked at Jia He with a trace of stubbornness in her eyes, but she said nothing.

Jia He frowned slightly and said flatly, "If you refuse to speak, I'll take you for a spy from the Cloudrise Empire!"

Dou Qi surged from Jia He's hand as he prepared to strike at any moment.

A flash of fear passed through the girl's eyes, and she finally spoke. "I'm not a spy from the Cloudrise Empire. I'm one of the nearby residents!"

The Dou Qi in Jia He's hand slowly dissipated. He looked at the girl and asked, "What is your name?"

The girl said, "Just call me Xiao Yi Xian!"

Jia He understood at once. She really was the Xiao Yi Xian from Green Mountain Town. After all, the town was not far from here.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Jia He and asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to Green City?"

Mitchell, standing nearby, said, "We are alchemists from the Alchemist Association of the Imperial Capital. We came to help you remove the poison and investigate who poisoned the people of Green City."

"The Alchemist Association?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes immediately lit up.

Alchemists were welcomed almost everywhere.

Xiao Yi Xian was a physician herself, so she naturally felt close to alchemists. Unfortunately, for certain reasons, she could never become one herself!

Jia He said, "If you have anything to say, just tell us directly!"

Xiao Yi Xian nodded. "I do have something to tell you. The true culprits behind the massacre of this city are the poison masters of the Cloudrise Empire!"

Hearing the certainty in Xiao Yi Xian's voice, Mitchell asked, "How can you be so sure?"

"Because I saw it with my own eyes!" Xiao Yi Xian said.

Jia He asked, "Tell us everything you saw!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked toward Mitchell. At that moment, she took Mitchell to be the leader of the three.

After all, Mitchell was the oldest among them. The other two were a young man and an incomparably alluring-looking woman.

"On the night of the massacre, I planned to head up Green Mountain under the moonlight to gather some herbs. But the wind was cold and eerie that night, so I intended to rest for a while on the cliff. When I turned around, I saw a figure appear in the sky above Green City."

"That person had formed wings from Dou Qi and stood in the air. He wore a pale green robe, and his face was covered, so I could not see what he looked like. But later, he waved his sleeve, and a Six-Winged Centipede several zhang long spiraled out of the city!"

"You all know what happened afterward. Almost everyone in the city died!"

After hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Jia He and the other two frowned deeply. Mitchell looked at Jia He and said, "Your Highness, this person is exceptionally skilled with poison. He may be a Dou Emperor. Should we first go to Green Mountain Town and check on the poisoned residents?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Jia He in surprise. She had not expected this young man to be a member of the imperial family!

Jia He said, "All right, let's go to Green Mountain Town first. The poisoner may have been testing the poison. Green City may only be one of his targets. He may still be lying low nearby. Once we return, have someone spread the news that alchemists have come here!"

Mitchell looked at Jia He. "Luring the snake from its hole?"

Jia He nodded. "Exactly!"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Jia He and said, "But it seems we have no one here who can withstand a Dou Emperor!"

Jia He looked at Xiao Yi Xian and said, "How do you know that?"

With that, Jia He led Mitchell and Ya Fei toward the city gate. Xiao Yi Xian was delighted. She had not expected the empire to have sent a Dou Emperor this time!

Xiao Yi Xian was from Green Mountain Town. Under her guidance, they soon arrived at the town.

This had originally been the nearest town to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where large numbers of mercenaries and alchemists gathered.

To enter the mountain range and collect medicinal herbs, alchemists needed the mercenaries' labor, while the alchemists provided payment.

Thus, this place had always been bustling. However, because of what happened in Green City, it had now been placed under strict guard.

Anyone entering or leaving had to be questioned and inspected.

When they arrived at the town, the mercenaries saw Xiao Yi Xian and all smiled as they greeted her.

Sure enough, Xiao Yi Xian was very popular in Green Mountain Town.

When those people saw the fourth-tier alchemist robe Mitchell wore, awe immediately appeared in their eyes!

With Xiao Yi Xian leading the way and Mitchell's status as a fourth-tier alchemist, the four of them quickly entered the town.

"The injured are currently being treated at the Ten Thousand Medicine Hall. Let's head there directly!" Xiao Yi Xian said softly.

The Ten Thousand Medicine Hall was the largest medicine shop in town.

The alchemists who had arrived earlier were also gathered there.

When they saw Jia He and Mitchell arrive, they immediately crowded around them.

"Vice President, Your Highness, this poison is extremely troublesome. We used every antidote pill we had, but we only managed to temporarily stabilize their lives!"

"If the deadly poison in their bodies is not completely removed, they will be tortured to death by it within half a month!"

Two elders from the Alchemist Association said to Jia He and Mitchell.

Jia He and Mitchell stepped forward and came before a patient lying on a bed. His entire body had turned black, and his breathing was weak.

Mitchell said, "If antidote pills are ineffective, then we can only use flames to forcibly purge the poison. But that method is extremely dangerous. One mistake could burn the person to death. It requires tremendous control!"

Jia He said, "I'll give it a try!"

Mitchell nodded. "Only Your Highness can act now!"

Xiao Yi Xian stood to the side, somewhat surprised. Why do these people respect this young man so much? It doesn't seem to be because of his status.

As she was wondering, flames surged from Jia He's hand. He lightly touched the back of the man's hand with a finger, and the flames instantly rushed into his meridians!

"He's an alchemist too?" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes widened at once, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and envy!

The powerful flames instantly devoured the deadly poison within the man's body. The blackness covering his body rapidly faded, returning to its normal color.

The next moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes, rolled over, and leaned over the side of the bed. With a WAAH, he vomited a large mouthful of black blood. When it hit the ground, it immediately sizzled, releasing a foul stench.

That terrifying poison was refined and forced out by Jia He's flames in an instant!
