Vicious enough! Ruthless enough! Underhanded enough!
"Um?"
Yue Rong was the first to notice the unusual activity around him; after transforming into his demon form, his five senses were heightened to an extreme degree.
His pupils contracted for a moment, instantly locking onto the ten pitch-black spheres that had somehow appeared and were now suspended in the sky.
"That is..."
Just as Yue Rong was wondering what these black spheres were...
Qi Yun, Qi Yun his hands together, a carefree smile flashing in his eyes. With a surge of internal True Qi, the ten black spheres formed from iron sand suddenly shrank inward.
Bang bang bang!
The black sphere collapsed, instantly bursting the medicine sac inside!
The next moment, a blanket of pale pink powder, like eerie snowflakes, fell from the sky.
At the same time, three previously hidden white skeletal skulls soared into the sky with eerie, cacophonous laughter.
It spewed out a massive amount of gray-black Yin Baleful Intent Corpse Qi from its hollow mouth, precisely enveloping and mixing with the deadly medicinal powder, instantly forming a gray-pink poisonous fog that covered a wide area, like an inverted giant bowl, completely enveloping the entire Old Dragon Pool and the surrounding area of several hundred meters!
What is that?
Yue Rong frowned as he watched the gray-pink fog appear out of nowhere and spread rapidly. He reacted quickly by immediately sealing his mouth and nose and switching to internal breathing.
He slowly reached out, plucked a wisp of fine powder from the air, and brought it close to his eyes to examine it closely.
The powder had an ambiguous color and a strange, sweet fragrance...
Yue Rong's expression immediately changed!
"This is... the Six Desires Bewitching Powder!?"
Which Biyang employee is so despicable!
It was him!?
By the time Yue Rong realized something was wrong, it was too late.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected Qi Yun to be so audacious as to poison everyone!
That's ruthless!
That's toxic!
That's cunning!
Yue Rong shook his head, a complex smile on his face. Looking at the massive fog that had spread and permeated hundreds of meters in radius, he wanted to escape, but it was too late!
The Six Desires Bewitching Powder.
This is a wicked drug that amplifies human desires to the extreme, and its effects are all-pervasive, capable of eroding the body through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion.
Once poisoned, one becomes a puppet controlled by desire.
It is an extremely evil poison.
More importantly... since it doesn't cause any harm to the body, there is no antidote for the Six Desires Bewitching Powder!
Even common antidotes were ineffective.
"Using any means necessary, only the result matters. It seems that our Holy Sect is about to produce another rising star..." Before he could finish speaking, Yue Rong felt a violent, burning heat suddenly surge from the bottom of his heart and rush to the top of his head.
Those eerie, bronze-colored vertical pupils were rapidly being stained and devoured by a terrifying crimson color at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He has transformed into a demon and is currently suffering from the corruption of the Six Desires Bewitching Powder. His greatest desire is the desire to kill!
"Roar!"
With the last shred of reason vanishing from his eyes, Yue Rong roared to the sky, his terrifying sound waves transforming into tangible sonic waves that spread in all directions.
The next moment!
He stomped his feet heavily, instantly transforming into a black shadow, and lunged at the Outer Mansion retainers lingering on the shore while letting out a chilling growl.
On the other side!
A grayish-pink mist mixed with the Six Desires Bewitching Powder fell onto the surface of the Old Dragon Pool, and the pale pink medicinal mist dissolved upon contact with the water.
In no time, a captivating pink hue slowly rose on the surface of the originally pitch-black pool.
Those disciples from the Outer Mansion who had dived into the pool and finally found the Dharma Enlightenment Bell to return to the surface had no idea that the water had been infused with the Six Desires Bewitching Powder.
The moment it surfaced for air, it had already released the evil drug...
It was swallowed.
Sitting cross-legged on the cliff, he half-closed his eyes to rest.
Hearing the various sounds below—roaring, howling, groaning, and laughing— Qi Yun remained calm.
Human desires control the mind.
You are all jealous and want to kill me, rob me, and humiliate me.
So today, I, Qi, will help you all...
Let go of these overwhelming desires.
With a righteous heart!
Those disciples from the Outer Mansion who had been Six Desires Bewitching Powder had all become slaves to their desires, only caring about venting their lustful thoughts. They even ignored the Dharma Enlightenment Bell that they had worked so hard to obtain and casually discarded it.
With a slight thought, Qi Yun caused the scattered iron sand below to immediately coalesce into more than a dozen agile black tentacles, which precisely coiled up the Dharma Enlightenment Bell that were about to sink to the bottom of the pool and retrieved them one by one.
In no time, his Storage Bag contained more than twenty Dharma Enlightenment Bell.
But just as he was about to retrieve the remaining Dharma Enlightenment Bell...
A sharp, chilling gaze suddenly fell upon him, and in the next instant, a terrifying figure flashed to the scene, its claws capable of shattering gold and splitting rocks slamming down towards his skull!
Swish--
His figure dissipated, transforming into countless streams of air. The evasion effect of [Clear Breeze Technique] blocked this fatal blow for Qi Yun.
"You woke up so quickly?"
As Qi Yun's figure materialized, he looked in surprise at Yue Rong, whose face was covered in blood but whose eyes were clear.
He used most of his wealth to buy the Six Desires Bewitching Powder, which was originally intended as his trump card for the next test.
He knew that after being flattered to death by the Black Mountain True Person, he would inevitably become a thorn in the side of the entire Outer Mansion.
To be absolutely certain, he used five times the normal dosage, just to prevent any accidents.
Wiping the blood from his face, Yue Rong spat out half Root Bone, a chilling, sinister smile spreading across his face.
"Junior Brother Qi, your plan is indeed brilliant."
"But you overlooked one thing: I am a demon. Poisons that work on human cultivators will naturally be much less effective against me."
Hearing Yue Rong's explanation, Qi Yun nodded in understanding and then said:
"No, I didn't overlook anything. It's just that your ' Demon-Devouring Great Law ' is True Person lineage of Daoist masters."
There are no records from the Outer Mansion, so I cannot estimate how much you can bear.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have used five times the amount of the Six Desires Bewitching Powder to ensure it works for you.
However, it now seems that the methods circulating in the Outer Mansion are far inferior to the true lineage transmission.
Right, Senior Brother Yue?
Sensing a hint of sadness in Qi Yun's words, Yue Rong waved his hand dismissively, his voice loud and composed:
"That's natural, don't feel it's unfair."
My father endured countless hardships and escaped death numerous times before finally cultivating the Dao Foundation and becoming True Person.
The calamities we suffered are beyond your wildest imagination.
As a son, I inherited my father's legacy. If I were to start on the same starting line as you all...
That would be the greatest injustice to all those who strive in this world!
Yue Rong's words startled Qi Yun for a moment, then he suddenly understood.
"That makes sense! Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Senior Brother Yue."
As he spoke, Qi Yun smiled, his tone becoming more relaxed:
"Since that's the case, why don't I give you a few Dharma Enlightenment Bell, and then we, as fellow disciples, can call it quits and return to our sect together to hand over this mission? Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?"
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing Qi Yun's suggestion, Yue Rong couldn't help but laugh loudly. Then, with a fierce look on his face, he glared at the sinister Daoist opposite him, his knuckles cracking as he clenched his fists, his surging fighting spirit pressing down on him like a tangible force.
What do you think?
