Qin Tiexin stepped out of the portal and stood on the ground at the edge of Five Domains Square again.
The air is still filled with a light gray poisonous mist, which smells sweet and corrupt. Both Li Yun and the woman in red are pale, their foreheads are covered with fine beads of sweat, and their breathing is rapid. The protective shield is as thin as a layer of water film, and it is obvious that it has reached its limit.
Liu Qing was half-kneeling three steps outside the shield, his face turned blue, and there was still dark red blood stains on the corners of his mouth. When he saw Qin Tiexin appear, his eyes froze at first, and then he exhaled with relief, and his whole body relaxed a little.
Qin Tiexin did not go to the shield immediately, but first looked at everyone in the field and said briefly, "Poison cultivator Cao Mu is dead."
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly audible in the empty and silent square.
A brief silence.
Then, the woman in red in the shield suddenly raised her head, an unbelievable look flashed in her eyes. Li Yun's hand trembled, and the surface of the shield fluctuated violently. She hurriedly stabilized, but her eyes were already slightly red.
Liu Qing coughed twice and forced a smile, "Fellow Daoist Qin... is indeed amazing."
More emotions spread in the square.
Those monks who were still awake and barely holding on were stunned at first, and then expressions of relief appeared on their faces one after another. Some exhaled for a long time, some fell to the ground, and some even laughed in a low voice - that was the joy of surviving the disaster.
The shadow of death that weighed on everyone's hearts finally dissipated.
Qin Tiexin did not stop, he walked quickly to Liu Qing, took out a light cyan Antidote Pill from Storage Bag, and handed it over. "Take it first."
Liu Qing took the elixir and swallowed it without any hesitation. After the elixir entered his stomach, the blue-gray color on his face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his breathing became much calmer. He closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing for two breaths. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to clarity.
"Thank you." Liu Qing whispered.
Qin Tiexin shook his head and looked at the poisonous fog that still filled the square. "Can it be dispelled?"
"I'll try." Liu Qing nodded, took a deep breath, and stood up from the ground. With his hands Hand Seals, his fingers turned like lotus flowers, and he chanted in a low voice. The surrounding air began to flow, and a gentle but continuous wind surged out from his body. It was like a stream at first, and soon became a stream.
"Wind Rolls and Clouds Unfurl."
Liu Qing Pushed outwards with both hands.
The wind suddenly increased and turned into a horizontal whirlwind, spreading around the square. The wind was not violent, but it was continuous. Wherever it passed, the gray-green poisonous mist was picked up, dispersed, and blown away little by little.
After three breaths, the poisonous mist near the shield area becomes noticeably lighter.
After ten breaths, the concentration of poisonous mist in the entire square dropped by more than half.
After half a stick of incense, the air finally returned to clarity, leaving only a slight residual sweet smell that gradually dissipated in the wind.
Li Yun and the woman in red looked at each other and removed their protective shields at the same time.
The moment the light shield shattered, both of them staggered, almost unsteady on their feet. The long-term consumption of spiritual power made them almost collapse.
Qin Tiexin took out a gray-black Storage Bag - the Storage Bag of Cao Mu. He used Divine Sense to explore for a moment, took out several small jade bottles of different colors and handed them to Liu Qing: "You know alchemy and pharmacology, see which one is the antidote."
Liu Qing took the jade bottle and opened it one by one to inspect it. He smelled it first, then poured out a little powder and observed it in his palm, doing so skillfully.
"This," he picked up a sapphire bottle, "Is the antidote to ecstasy toxins, which should correspond to the poisonous mist in the square."
He picked up another black jade bottle. "This is for flesh-corroding toxins... Well, it should be the antidote for Cao Mu poison needle."
Liu Qing looked at Qin Tiexin: "Fellow Daoist Qin, the palm print on your chest..."
"It has been processed." Qin Tiexin said briefly.
Liu Qing nodded and asked no more questions. Together with Qin Tiexin, he quickly distributed the antidote to the unconscious people in the field. Li Yun and the woman in red also joined in. The four people divided the work and the efficiency was very fast.
Qin Tiexin squatted next to a Golden Sun Sect disciple, pried open his mouth, stuffed a light blue elixir into it, and used spiritual power to help it dissolve. After the elixir entered his abdomen, the disciple's pale face gradually regained color, and his breathing became steady.
He stood up and prepared to walk to the next person.
One hand gently held his sleeve.
Qin Tiexin Turn your head.
Li Yun stood beside him, her eyes still red, but her eyes were very serious. She looked at Qin Tiexin up and down - the broken clothes, dried blood, pale face, her lips moved, and her voice was very soft. "Junior Brother Qin, are you... really okay?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "It's really okay."
Li Yun stared at his eyes for two breaths, as if he wanted to confirm something, and finally gently let go of his hand and whispered, "That's good."
She turned around to take care of her other disciples, but her steps were obviously lighter than before.
About an incense-burning time later, the unconscious monks in the square woke up one after another.
The first person to wake up was a male cultivator from the Golden Sun Sect and Qi Refining Ninth Layer. He opened his eyes and was at a loss for a moment. Then he sat up vigilantly and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the surrounding scene clearly.
The woman in red--Duan Xuan walked up to him and explained what happened in a low voice.
After hearing this, the male cultivator looked at Qin Tiexin with a complicated expression, then at Li Yun, and then solemnly clasped his fists. "Golden Sun Sect Jin Ming, thank you both for saving my life."
He paused and said in a sincere voice, "If Fellow Daoist Li hadn't used the life-saving shield at the critical moment, if Fellow Daoist Qin hadn't taken the risk to lure the poisonous cultivator away and kill him, all of us Golden Sun Sect might have died here."
Other Golden Sun Sect disciples woke up one after another.
After they figured out what happened, they stepped forward one after another to express their gratitude to Qin Tiexin and Li Yun. Some bowed and saluted, while others held fists in greeting. Their attitudes were all solemn.
Duan Xuan waited until all his fellow disciples were almost recovered before walking up to Qin Tiexin.
She first nodded to Li Yun, then turned to Qin Tiexin, cupped her fists, and leaned forward slightly - this was a very solemn etiquette.
"Golden Sun Sect inner disciple Duan Xuan," her voice was clear and she spoke every word, "I would like to thank fellow Daoist Qin for saving my life."
She straightened up and looked into Qin Tiexin's eyes. There was no politeness in her eyes, only sincere admiration. "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Qin today, all of us would be nothing but dry bones. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, so I Duan Xuan will remember this. If Fellow Daoist Qin needs it in the future, as long as it does not violate morality, Golden Sun Sect Duan Xuan will definitely repay you."
Qin Tiexin cupped his fists and returned the greeting. "Fellow Daoist Duan is very polite. We are both cultivators of immortality, so we should help each other."
Duan Xuan looked at him deeply, said nothing more, and returned to his fellow disciples.
Survivors from other sects also woke up one after another.
Azure Rosy Cloud Sect, White Cloud Monastery, and several small sects and Rogue Cultivator. After understanding the cause and effect, some people came over to thank Qin Tiexin.
Qin Tiexin returned the favor one by one without saying much.
He stood in the center of the square, looking at these people who were surviving the disaster, and his eyes swept the entire square.
When we came in, there were more than two hundred people, bustling with each other, everyone had their own thoughts.
Now, there are about forty people standing, about thirty people sitting, some lying on the ground who have not yet fully recovered, and some who escaped deep in the forest, totaling just over a hundred people.
Half of the people will stay in this ruins forever.
Some were killed by Demon Beast in the forest, or died at the hands of their peers while competing for resources.
There are also those who died under the poisonous fog just now - Qin Tiexin saw seven or eight corpses lying in the distance, their faces were black and blue, and they had already died.
The cruelty of the world of immortality, the law of the jungle and the strong, is nothing more than that.
Life is like a piece of grass, it fades away in a blink of an eye.
Qin Tiexin was silent for a moment, suppressing these thoughts.
Now is not the time to sigh.
He looked at everyone in the field - most of them had almost recovered. Although their spiritual power had not been completely restored, at least their movements were fine. Only a few of them were seriously poisoned and needed support from their companions.
Almost there.
Qin Tiexin pretended to be normal and walked to a corner where no one was paying attention. He took out Primordial Unity Sect Master Token from his arms and held it in his palm.
The token trembled slightly, and a trace of spiritual power was injected into it.
In the center of the square, the originally empty air began to twist and fluctuate. A bit of white light emerged out of thin air, and then quickly expanded into a three-foot-high light door. Inside the door was the familiar gray-white chaos, which was the passage they came from.
The light door stabilized, exuding soft traction.
"The exit... the exit is open!"
Some monks exclaimed.
Everyone in the field looked at the light gate, with desire flashing in their eyes.
Finally, I can leave here.
