Invincible Over the World
Chapter 242 - 242 242 Shadowless Poison

242: Chapter 242: Shadowless Poison 242: Chapter 242: Shadowless Poison Several branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce were under fierce attack, and everyone, like Huang Xiaolong, guessed that it was the Doing of the Yao Family and the Divine Hall, and no one dared to disturb Huang Xiaolong’s contemplation.

The Great Hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

“Young Master, shall I go over to one of the branches to take a look?” a moment later, Zhang Fu stood up and asked.

Huang Xiaolong shook his head in response, “No need.”

The several branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce were being attacked simultaneously, and with Zhang Fu alone, spreading himself too thin would be ineffective, and he might even fall into the trap laid by the Yao Family and the Divine Hall.

The attack on the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce branches might be a ploy to lure Zhang Fu and Zhao Shu away.

“How are the casualties at the various branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce?” Huang Xiaolong turned around and asked the Huang Family guard.

“Reporting to the Young Master, the disciples at the several branches of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce are almost, almost…” the Huang Family guard hesitated.

“Speak!” Huang Xiaolong commanded.

“Almost all dead, each branch had only a few disciples who managed to escape by luck,” the Huang Family guard quickly responded.

Almost all dead!

Huang Xiaolong’s expression darkened.

Each branch of the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce had three to four hundred disciples stationed, across the several branches, that made up four to five thousand disciples!

“Issue the order for the disciples at the various branches to withdraw for now,” Huang Xiaolong said after pondering.

This account would be settled with the Yao Family and the Divine Hall later!

“Yes, Young Master!” the Huang Family guard respectfully complied.

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand, dismissing him, as today was his sister’s big wedding, and his sister’s marriage was important.

Just then, at a deserted manor overgrown with weeds in the north of the Broken Blade Imperial City, the air rippled, and Li Molin, the Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan, and two other elders from the Divine Hall appeared, alongside Yao Fei and Ao Baixue from the Divine Hall.

The six of them appeared, and Li Molin said with a cold laugh, “I didn’t expect that kid Huang Xiaolong to keep his composure and not fall for it!”

Ao Baixue frowned, “With Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu around, it’s tough for us to make a move!”

Yao Fei said coldly, “Even with Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu around, it doesn’t matter.

My Shadowless Poison is undetectable even by High-level Holy Domain Experts!” With that, he took out a dark purple jade bottle from his space ring.

“Shadowless Poison!” Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression changed, including Li Molin, who was a High-level Holy Domain Expert.

The Shadowless Poison, known as the king of deadly poisons, was rumored to be colorless, tasteless, and undetectable even by High-level Holy Domain experts.

Once afflicted, apart from Holy Domain Experts who could use their internal Holy Power to suppress and slowly eliminate it, all lower level experts would face certain death!

Moreover, once afflicted with Shadowless Poison, the victims would suffer agonizing pain as if being tortured by myriad ants, snakes, demons, and ghosts, gnawing at their souls before death!

However, this kind of Shadowless Poison had disappeared for over two hundred years.

Yao Fei unexpectedly possessed it, and even the Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan was unaware.

“Indeed, Shadowless Poison!” Yao Fei nodded, “I obtained this Shadowless Poison a year ago when I went to Black Mountain and found it in a cave.

I have already controlled the servant in charge of the celebratory wine at the Guo Mansion, and he has put the Shadowless Poison into the wine for today’s wedding at the Guo Mansion.”

As he spoke, Yao Fei’s eyes glinted with venomous light, “Once that kid Huang Xiaolong drinks it, hehe!”

He could even imagine the extreme agony Huang Xiaolong would suffer before dying after drinking the wine.

Hearing this, Li Molin and the others gasped.

If that happened, then today the Guo Mansion would turn into a river of blood, littered with corpses!

Not only Huang Xiaolong and the people of the Huang Family, but also all the disciples of the Guo Family, as well as all the nobility and family Clan Leaders, and disciples who went to congratulate the Guo Mansion would all die!

Only the Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, Emperor Duanren, and a few Holy Domain experts would survive!

“Doing this, could it be, a bit too much?” the Yao Family Ancestor Yao Shan furrowed his brows and said, “Duan Wuheng and Princess Chen are also at the Guo Mansion.”

Duan Wuheng was Emperor Duanren’s most valued son and the future heir to the Broken Blade Empire, Princess Chen was Emperor Duanren’s most cherished concubine, and also the mother of Duan Wuheng.

If both were poisoned by the Shadowless Poison and died tragically at the Guo Mansion, it would mean a deadly feud with Emperor Duanren!

By then, it would be a fight to the death, leaving no place for the Guo Family within the Broken Blade Empire!

Yao Fei, understanding the Ancestor’s concerns, said, “Ancestor, even if we don’t kill Duan Wuheng, Duan Ren will never spare us.

Rather than that, why should we care about one Duan Wuheng?

Moreover, we are destined to destroy the Broken Blade Empire sooner or later.

Wouldn’t it be better to kill Duan Wuheng now and cut off one of that old guy’s arms?”

Upon hearing this, Yao Shan nodded quietly in agreement.

At this moment, the Guo Mansion was filled with joy, laughter, and mirth.

Despite the pressure from Huang Xiaolong over the Nine Tripods Chamber of Commerce branch issue, the festive atmosphere was not compromised.

Approaching noon, Guo Tai and Huang Min, the two newlyweds, wore bright red robes, and, guided by the officiant, began to pay their respects to heaven, earth, and their family elders.

“First bow to heaven and earth!” the officiant shouted.

After the couple bowed to heaven and earth, the officiant continued to shout, “Second bow to parents!”

Watching Guo Tai and Huang Min kneel, Huang Peng, Su Yan, Guo Shiyuan, and others rejoiced, while Huang Xiaolong and Guo Chen all smiled.

Shortly after, following the respects to their parents and elders, Guo Tai and Huang Min bowed to each other.

The wedding was finally complete!

The crowd cheered jubilantly.

“Okay, shall we all take our seats now?” a while later, Guo Family Ancestor Guo Chen said with a smile.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, and only then did everyone rise and take their seats at the tables.

Clan leaders and nobles from various major families who had come to celebrate also took their seats one after another.

After seeking Guo Chen’s approval, Guo Shiyuan then instructed the butler, Zhang Yue, “Serve the wine and dishes!”

“Yes!” Zhang Yue respectfully complied, then shouted, “Serve the wine and dishes!”

“Serve the wine and dishes!”

Suddenly, the Guo family’s servants busily presented the wine and dishes, table by table.

Shortly after, all the wine and dishes were served.

Each table featured sixteen dishes, ranging from exquisite mountain delicacies to various seafood, all complete in color, aroma, and flavor.

Everyone laughed and enjoyed as usual.

Just as Guo Tai stood up, raising his glass to propose a toast to Huang Peng and Huang Xiaolong and begin the feast, suddenly, Huang Xiaolong’s voice rang out, “Hold on!”

Huang Xiaolong’s abrupt voice made everyone pause, all eyes turning towards him.

Under the gazes of the crowd, Huang Xiaolong reached out with one hand and drew a jar of wine towards him, declaring, “There’s something wrong with this wine!”

“What, there’s something wrong with this wine!” the crowd buzzed.

“This?!” Guo Chen, Emperor Duanren, Zhao Shu, Zhang Fu, and other Holy Domain experts exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong’s body flashed with black and blue light, and the Black and Blue Double Dragon Martial Soul flew out from behind him.

Then, the Double Dragons fiercely inhaled, and dark purple glows flew out from the jar, eventually forming several ghostly shadows in mid-air, screaming eerily, chilling to the bone.
