Chapter 1318: Chapter 646: Arrival at Wutan City, Shadow Poison?

She bowed deeply to Luo Yao, then turned around to report to the elders the detailed situation of the Luo Family branch in Wutan City.

After listening, the elders looked grave and expressed that they would soon dispatch experts to Wutan City for support.

Luo Yao stood aside, quietly listening to their conversation.

He knew in his heart that this incident concerning the Luo Family branch in Wutan City was probably not by chance. In this world where strength reigns supreme, weaker forces often become targets of bullying.

Although the Luo Family branch is not weak, it still appears so insignificantly small in the face of those more powerful forces.

Luo Yao couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

He remembered his previous visit to White Crane City and the people in the Luo Family branch who worked day and night to protect the ancestral land and the Shadow Secret Tome.

He knew that only by continuously enhancing his own strength could he better protect the Luo Family and those in its branches.

Thus, after staying at the Luo Family headquarters for a few days, Luo Yao set out with the young lady and others from the headquarters.

They embarked on the road to the Luo Family branch in Wutan City.

"I didn’t expect you to be from the Luo Family headquarters..."

Outside Qingshi City, on the road.

The young lady couldn’t help but speak softly to Luo Yao beside her.

Luo Yao smiled faintly, shook his head gently, and said, "I am indeed from the Luo Family headquarters, but I wasn’t intentionally concealing it. Previously, I was training outside, and upon hearing that the Luo Family branch in Wutan City was in trouble, I wanted to offer my help."

Upon hearing this, admiration flashed in the young lady’s eyes, and she said, "Sir, your nobility is admirable. Yue’er is impressed."

The two continued on their journey while chatting. The young lady’s name was Luo Yue, the granddaughter of Luo Tianxiong, the clan leader of the Luo Family branch in Wutan City.

This time, the Luo Family branch was attacked, and Luo Tianxiong was severely injured, so Luo Yue was tasked with seeking aid from the Luo Family headquarters.

Listening to Luo Yue’s account, Luo Yao couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity.

He asked, "Miss Yue, do you know where these mysterious people who attacked the Luo Family branch in Wutan City came from?"

Luo Yue shook her head and said, "I don’t know their origins either. They appeared in Wutan City without saying a word and attacked us immediately."

"Although our Luo Family branch fought hard, we were still no match for them."

Luo Yao frowned slightly, thinking to himself.

Since these mysterious people dared to attack the Luo Family branch, they are likely not unknown figures.

Moreover, what is their objective? Is it for the Shadow Secret Tome, or do they have other plans?

With that thought, Luo Yao couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

He hoped to reach Wutan City as soon as possible to learn more about the situation.

The two hurried along the way, quickly arriving at the edge of Wutan City.

By this time, the sky was gradually darkening.

Looking at Wutan City ahead, a trace of anxiety flickered in Luo Yue’s eyes.

"Sir, we need to enter the city quickly," Luo Yue said, "My grandfather is still waiting for our news."

Luo Yao nodded and said, "Alright, let’s enter the city now."

The two hastened their steps, quickly arriving at the city gate of Wutan City.

At this moment, the city gate was tightly closed, with heavy guard patrols.

Seeing this, Luo Yue couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry.

"Miss Yue, do you have a way to enter the city?"

Luo Yao asked.

Luo Yue nodded and said, "I have a family Token, it should allow us to enter the city."

With that, she took out a Token from her bosom and handed it to the guard at the city gate.

The guard took the Token, examined it carefully, then nodded and opened the city gate.

Luo Yue and Luo Yao entered Wutan City smoothly and headed straight for the Luo Family branch’s mansion.

Arriving in front of the mansion, Luo Yue impatiently pushed open the main gate.

The mansion inside was a mess.

The once tidy courtyard was now covered with dust and rubble.

"Grandfather!"

Luo Yue called out anxiously and rushed into the mansion quickly.

Luo Yao followed closely, seeing bloodstains and broken limbs everywhere inside the mansion.

Clearly, a fierce battle had taken place here once.

They came to a secret room, only to find its door tightly closed.

Luo Yue took a deep breath and then forcefully pushed open the door of the secret room.

Inside, an old man lay on a stone bed.

His face was pale, his breath weak, clearly severely injured.

"Grandfather!"

Luo Yue rushed to the old man’s side, tears welling up immediately.

The old man opened his eyes with difficulty, seeing Luo Yue and Luo Yao’s arrival, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He barely opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but was too severely injured to speak.

Seeing this, Luo Yao hurriedly checked the old man’s injuries.

There was a deep wound visible to the bone on the old man’s chest.

A strange black color had appeared around the wound.

"This is... Shadow Poison!"

Luo Yao exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yue’s face turned pale.

Looking at Luo Yao, she trembled, "Sir, can you save my grandfather?"

Luo Yao took a deep breath and then nodded.

He took out an Elixir and handed it to Luo Yue, "Miss Yue, give this Elixir to your grandfather first."

"Then, we’ll think of a solution."

Luo Yue took the Elixir and quickly gave it to the old man.

Then, she looked anxiously at Luo Yao, waiting for his next suggestion.

Luo Yao pondered for a moment, then said, "Miss Yue, your grandfather’s injuries are too severe. The Elixir alone cannot heal him."

"We need to find a method to dispel the Shadow Poison to completely heal your grandfather’s injuries."

Hearing this, a trace of despair flashed in Luo Yue’s eyes.

She looked at Luo Yao, trembling, "Sir, can you find a method to dispel the Shadow Poison?"

Luo Yao nodded and said, "I will do my best."

With that, he turned and walked out of the secret room.

He knew that dispelling the Shadow Poison was no easy task.

But no matter what, he had to try.

Because it was not only about saving the old man’s life but also about the future of this Luo Family branch.

...

In the days that followed, Luo Yao began searching everywhere for a method to dispel the Shadow Poison.

He first visited the Repository Tower in Wutan City, researching a vast number of ancient tomes and records.

Unfortunately, he could not find a specific method for dispelling the Shadow Poison.

Nevertheless, he was not discouraged.

He believed that as long as he kept searching, he would eventually find a way to dispel the Shadow Poison.

Besides researching ancient tomes, Luo Yao also searched for

people who might know how to dispel the Shadow Poison.

He first went to the Alchemists Guild in Wutan City, seeking advice from experienced alchemists.

However, although these alchemists knew something about poisons, they were powerless against the special poison that is the Shadow Poison.

Next, Luo Yao went to the Warrior’s Association in Wutan City, hoping to get some useful information from the martial artists.

However, although the martial artists were powerful, most of them were only focused on cultivation and combat, and knew little about poisons.

Just when Luo Yao was feeling a bit disappointed, he suddenly thought of someone.

This person was Qin Tian, an elder of the Luo Family’s main headquarters and someone Luo Yao was familiar with.

In his youth, Qin Tian had traveled across the continent and was well-informed; maybe he knew something about dispelling the Shadow Poison.

So, Luo Yao decided to visit Qin Tian at his residence to seek his guidance.

Qin Tian’s residence was located in a remote area of Wutan City, with a tranquil environment far from the hustle and bustle.

When Luo Yao arrived at Qin Tian’s residence, he found Qin Tian sitting by a stone table in the courtyard, sipping tea and enjoying the scenery.

Seeing Luo Yao’s arrival, Qin Tian was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Luo Yao, why have you come?"

Luo Yao quickly stepped forward to greet him and then said, "Elder Qin, I have a favor to ask."

Qin Tian nodded, gesturing for Luo Yao to sit and talk.

After sitting down, Luo Yao told Qin Tian about the attack on the Luo Family branch and the old man’s severe injuries.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian’s face displayed a moment of gravity.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "Luo Yao, this Shadow Poison is indeed a very potent poison."

"I have heard about this poison during my travels across the continent, but I’m not very clear on how to dispel it specifically."
