"Y-young master?"
Elder Zhang's heart shook violently. He looked toward the aura he sensed through his own Azure Dragon Token and caught sight of a man dressed as a servant smiling at them.
Though the man's face was utterly unfamiliar, all three knew that smile intimately.
They were certain this was Rusty Lion Young Master.
"Go. Keep pretending the poison hasn't been cured. Don't let anyone spot anything amiss. Leave Zhai Mo to me."
Rusty Lion's voice rang out in all three of their minds again.
Without further hesitation, all three reached into their sleeves and immediately felt a paper packet.
Though they had no idea when Rusty Lion Young Master had placed the antidote on them, their unreserved trust in him led all three to swallow the antidote from the packets as they fled.
At the sight, Xu Taiping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He had told them to keep pretending to be poisoned because, from his observations just now, even after taking the antidote, the poisoned victims would need at least the time it took to drink a cup of tea for their Qi and Blood and True Essence power to recover to their peak.
With so many Sword-Worshipping Manor disciples in the hall, escaping would actually be very difficult for the three of them.
Continuing to feign poisoning would make the Sword-Worshipping Manor disciples lower their guard, giving them a chance to slowly recover their strength.
Boom!
Just as he had expected, before the three reached the entrance, Sword-Worshipping Manor disciples had already surrounded them.
However, since they were not facing the Cloud Court Thirteen Swords, with Nanxing and Zhai Mo's skills, the three should face no danger to their lives for the time being.
*Yun Mubai wants them alive. He certainly won't strike to kill.
