In the Fang Clan's reception hall, the chair beneath Fang Chi suddenly shattered the moment Lan Ye finished speaking. As Fang Chi's emotions shifted, his entire aura surged at that moment.
Similarly, the three elders of the Fang Clan below were also staring wide-eyed at Lan Ye, their eyes filled with surprise and high expectations.
If what Lan Ye said is true, then Mao Xun's plan to force them to cooperate with the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect will naturally fail. This is a relief for the Fang Clan, and it can also cure Fang Zhicong's poison. It is undoubtedly a win-win situation.
However, Lan Ye's words alone cannot prove that he has truly found a way to cure Fang Zhicong's poison. After all, many people have been invited to observe and help with the poison Fang Zhicong suffered from, but without exception, they could only suppress it and not cure it. Even Fang Chi himself was almost losing all hope.
The reason he had paid so much attention to Mao Xun's words earlier, and was even forced to protect his safety, was because Mao Xun had given him the greatest hope of rescuing Fang Zhicong up to this point. Although he was extremely excited after hearing Lan Ye's words, he still dared not make any rash conclusions.
" Lan Ye, what did you just say?"
As if worried that he had misheard, Fang Chi raised his hand with trembling hands, staring intently at Lan Ye, and spoke with rapid breathing. At the same time, the others in the room also focused their attention on Lan Ye, especially Mao Xun. When he heard Lan Ye's words, a sense of unease arose in his heart.
However, Mao Xun quickly calmed himself down. He knew very well what kind of poison Fang Zhicong had been poisoned with. In this Southern Region, probably no one except his own sect leader could cure it. After all, the years of waiting were all for the purpose of bringing the Fang Clan under their control. Now, they were only one step away from the success of their plan, so how could they let anything go wrong at this time?
"Master, I have found a way to remove the poison from the young master!"
In the hall, Lan Ye stood in the center, bowing deeply to Fang Chi at the head of the table. Although her voice was not loud, the confidence it conveyed was unmistakable.
Lan Ye was, after all, a member of the Fang Clan, so Fang Chi naturally trusted his words implicitly. After the emotional turmoil just now, upon hearing these words again, Fang Chi had no more doubts, and a delighted smile appeared on his face.
Similarly, the three elders of the Fang Clan exchanged glances, the huge weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted, and when they looked at Mao Xun again, their eyes were filled with disdain and mockery.
Mao Xun was determined to use Fang Zhicong's affair to swallow up the Fang Clan today, but unexpectedly, Lan Ye suddenly brought back such great news. This time, not only Mao Xun, but the entire Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect's plans have fallen through.
"Hmph, Lan Ye, Fang Clan Head has already agreed to join my Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, so I advise you to stop trying to bluff people with such unfounded claims. If you really have a way to cure your young master's poison, why not just talk about it without providing concrete evidence?"
Mao Xun glanced at the three Fang Clan elders, sneered, and turned his gaze back to Lan Ye. As he spoke, the expressions on the three elders' faces became slightly unnatural.
Although unwilling to admit it, Mao Xun's words were absolutely true. Although they trusted Lan Ye's words because of his status, they would not be able to officially recognize them if he could not provide evidence.
" Mao Xun, do you think I can't produce evidence?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Ye narrowed his eyes, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Mao Xun, a chilling killing intent gradually gathering in his eyes.
"Hmph, it's not that I think, it's that I'm convinced you can't produce any evidence, because of this poison..."
At this point, Mao Xun's spirits suddenly jolted, as if he had suddenly realized something. He quickly swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue, then pursed his lips and said nervously:
"The antidote for this poison is only in my possession! Besides, it seems that Fang Clan Head sought help from many people, including elders of the Alchemist Alliance and the powerful sect leader of Burning Flame Valley. But what was the result? Even they couldn't cure Fang Zhicong. And now you dare to claim that you've found a way to cure him? That's just laughable!"
Although Mao Xun spoke with absolute certainty, no one paid him any attention this time. They were only somewhat suspicious of his sudden pause, but their eyes remained fixed on Lan Ye, waiting for his rebuttal.
Fang Chi pondered Mao Xun's words, a sense of surprise and doubt creeping into his heart. He had indeed asked the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley to detoxify Fang Zhicong, but this was absolutely top-secret information. How did Mao Xun know about it?
Moreover, judging from what he just said, although it was only half-finished, Fang Chi felt that there was some secret involved.
"It seems there are some people of dubious origin in the Fang Clan as well..."
Thinking to himself, Lan Ye spoke up at that moment.
" Mao Xun, don't speak so confidently..."
"Hmph, even the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley couldn't do anything about it, so what makes you think you can cure Fang Zhicong's poison!"
Upon hearing this, the latter's face was filled with a sneer. He firmly believed that there was only one antidote in the world for the poison Fang Zhicong had been afflicted with, and that antidote was something only his Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect possessed!
"Just me."
However, just after Mao Xun finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the hall, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
The person who spoke was none other than Xiao Yan.
As everyone's gaze fell upon him, Xiao Yan lifted his foot and headed towards the center of the hall. Luo Jin and the others followed closely behind, while Fang Zhicong walked alone towards the Outer Academy, playing happily and excitedly.
Who are you?
Fang Chi and the others had indeed noticed Xiao Yan and his group, but seeing them arrive with Lan Ye, they didn't say much. However, they never expected that this young man would suddenly intervene at this crucial moment.
"Reporting to Fang Clan Head, my name is Xiao Yan. I have come at Master Lan's invitation to expel the toxins from Young Master Fang's body."
Upon hearing Fang Chi's question, Xiao Yan remained calm, cupped his hands in greeting, and replied in a composed tone.
"Hehehe! Kid, must I have misheard? Even the Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley can't handle this poison. You, a mere Early-Stage Origin Return Realm brat, dare to challenge me?"
"Bang!"
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Mao Xun's mocking laughter had barely faded when Xiao Yan's upright body suddenly trembled. With a loud bang, raging flames burst forth from his body.
Do you think I'm worthy or not?
