" Beauty Withered Bones Poison!"
Xie Feng frowned, his expression gradually becoming serious.
"This poison is extremely rare and can penetrate anywhere; it is harmful upon contact. Because this poison drains life force, it causes the body's functions to age rapidly, hence its name."
"The higher one's cultivation level, the weaker their resistance! In the most severe cases, they can even die from exhaustion of Qi and Blood within seconds! I have consulted a lot of information about the Origin Realm and learned that this poison is not widespread, and it can even be said to be extinct."
"But now they've made a comeback!"
Xie Feng said, taking out a Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill and handing it over, "Here, take this pill and see if it works."
This kind of elixir is mainly for bringing the dead back to life; strictly speaking, its inhibitory effect on poisons is limited.
After all, one medicine is for one disease.
For it to be effective, A Ning would have to die and then be brought back to life with a elixir...
Let's try anything, even if it seems hopeless!
A Ning swallowed the Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill, and then sat quietly waiting for the effects.
A few minutes passed...
It had no effect at all; the poison gas didn't disappear, but instead continued to slowly spread around my arm!
Xie Feng shook his head and gave up.
"The fact that this poison, which should have been extinct, has reappeared in the world means that someone still possesses the skill to use this deadly poison! Who did you just fight?"
He closed his eyes slightly and looked at A Ning. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. To deal with a deadly poison, you must find the poisoner in order to get the antidote!
A Ning tilted her head, thought carefully for a moment, and then said somewhat uncertainly, "About half an hour ago, we wiped out an ordinary branch alliance. These people were of average strength, but there was one black-robed man among them who was extremely powerful!"
"What kind of man in black robes? Tell me in detail!"
"Because he was wrapped up so tightly, I couldn't see his face clearly. After a brief exchange with him, I only knew that he was extremely powerful and I was no match for him!"
"Later, for some reason, he didn't kill me. At the time, I thought he was showing mercy, but now it seems he poisoned me, wanting me to die in the midst of the army to create chaos and intimidate others!"
A Ning's expression was solemn as she looked down at her palm.
Her face was a little pale.
The black spots on his arms were increasing, but fortunately, his cultivation level was only at the Indestructible Realm, which temporarily slowed the spread of this deadly poison!
If it were Gu Yuan, the poison would probably take effect even faster!
"Oh, and I also noticed that this man in black robes is wearing a ring made of red jade!"
A Ning provided another new clue.
" Red Jade Ring, what kind of person would wear it?" Xie Feng pondered.
At this moment, Gu Yuan walked over and, after inquiring about the details, frowned and said, "Red jade isn't rare in the Origin Realm; many people wear it. I have several of these rings myself! However, if you look carefully, you can always find it!"
Xie Feng said, "Brother Gu, then I'll trouble you to investigate."
Gu Yuan quickly waved his hand and joked, "Oh dear, please, that word is too strong for you, Lord Evil King! I can't bear it! Okay, give me half an hour, and I'll find it for you!"
After making the promise, Gu Yuan immediately slipped aside and used a communication talisman to contact the relevant demon officials.
When A Ning was poisoned, Feng Jia was also alarmed and hurriedly brought his accompanying physician over.
As it turns out, Heaven-Reaching Elephant Heart Pill was ineffective, let alone ordinary doctors.
Xie Feng remained calm.
After all, there are several clues, and it's the Imperial Evil Realm that's involved. If they can't even find this person, then those who are hailed as the strongest Devil Race might as well give up.
Half an hour later, Gu Yuan rushed over, his face filled with excitement. "Brother Xie, we found him! Based on the key clues of joining the branch alliance, the man in black robes, the Red Jade Ring, knowing how to use poison, and having been to this plain today, we've finally identified one person!"
Xie Feng asked seriously, "Who?"
Gu Yuan said, " Yu Qingzhu! This person was originally the former master of the Immortal Firmament Manor. Later, he retired from the martial world and now runs a tea shop in a bamboo building in the desert."
"Due to the current tense situation, the current Lord of the Immortal Palace Sheng Haotian, visited Zhu Lou three times to persuade him to return! Today's battle with A Ning is his first battle in the Immortal Firmament Manor!"
A Ning's eyes widened. "I remember now, among those who were just wiped out, several were wearing the emblem of the Immortal Firmament Manor. So it seems they were members of that faction!"
"I know Yu Qingzhu."
Xie Feng quickly recalled the scene of hunting the Blazing Fire Crimson Phoenix with this person at the Illusory Star Pool.
He had a good impression of this person; aside from being somewhat melancholic, he was thoughtful and loyal.
However, this time the two are on opposite sides and have different stances!
"You know all these hermits? Is there anyone in the world you don't know?" Gu Yuan was astonished. He really is a little prince of connections; he knows people everywhere he goes!
This is something he can only envy!
Or rather, it's something all the demons in the Imperial Evil Realm envy!
After all, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too...
If even Ge Ya's magic quality is poor, then there's little hope for his subordinates' magic quality to improve...
"If that's the case, then things are much easier!" Xie Feng said, getting up and straightening his clothes. " Gu Yuan, where is he now?"
Gu Yuan said, " Immortal Firmament Manor!"
Xie Feng nodded and said confidently with a smile, "Looks like I need to pay this friend a visit! A Ning, go prepare a gift!"
A Ning was a little confused. "A gift?"
Xie Feng winked at her. "What do you think we should send to the Immortal Firmament Manor?"
A Ning was clever; her eyes darted around, and she smiled knowingly.
Central part of the Origin Realm.
There exists a human faction here.
Immortal Firmament Manor!
It was built on a sacred mountain in the sea.
Prosperous, majestic, with sea mist like a dragon lingering above it. This place is often shrouded in misty rain, nourishing the land and the earth.
At this moment, inside the Immortal Firmament Manor, two people were sitting opposite each other drinking wine.
A man in a brocade hat and fur coat, with a melancholy expression, held a wine cup in his hand, and the Red Jade Ring on his finger gleamed with a mottled, mysterious light.
He gazed out the window at the heavy rain, his eyes filled with melancholy.
Yu Qingzhu!
The other person was dressed in simple clothes, with a thin face and sharp eyes that constantly flashed with shrewdness.
Sheng Haotian!
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked you to drink. This forced conversation was pointless and made us both feel awkward."
Sheng Haotian shook his head. He felt like he had asked for trouble. Why did he have to go and drink with this idiot in front of him?
Of course, he knew it was impolite to criticize the former prefect, so he only dared to mutter it to himself.
Yu Qingzhu seemed not to hear. He had no desire to enter the secular world. He only wanted to go back to the bamboo house, drink tea, taste wine, and incidentally order Dabao and the others around.
Sometimes, however, you just can't help yourself.
When faced with the choice between one's own family and the greater good, the greater good should naturally take precedence!
When Sheng Haotian came to you, saying that the Imperial Evil Realm was about to overthrow the Origin Realm and that the central region was already in chaos, with the Immortal Firmament Manor next, and that you had the ability to protect it, and asked you to return, did you go back?
Of course I have to go back!
The Immortal Firmament Manor nurtured the Indestructible Saint Lord; he has a conscience!
