Chapter 414: Chapter 0414: Unlucky Long Duba

"Alright, enough arguing,"

It was at this moment that Xin Badao spoke up to interrupt the bickering among them and looked towards Chu Batian, asking, "Great Elder, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

Chu Batian slightly frowned. In principle, Xin Badao was the Sect Master, yet now he was seeking his opinion, which was clearly putting him on the spot.

"Long Duba, are you two certain that the Detoxification Liquid can neutralize the poison of the Five Poison Powder?"

Chu Batian asked Long Duba with an expressionless face.

"Of course, I can guarantee it with my head, Tang Ming neutralized the poison of the Five Poison Powder in those people with the Detoxification Liquid."

Long Duba assured with full confidence.

"I can guarantee it’s true as well," Mei Dufeng also nodded repeatedly, echoing the sentiment.

Chu Batian nodded and turned to Yan Dujiu to ask:

"Are you certain the Detoxification Liquid can’t neutralize the poison of the Five Poison Powder?"

"Absolutely not, it can’t,"

Yan Dujiu adjusted his glasses, equally certain.

Upon hearing this, Chu Batian’s brows knitted slightly. The siblings of Long Duba were his people, and Yan Dujiu sided with Xin Badao. This situation had become a contest between their two forces, and he couldn’t just easily concede.

"If that is the case, then one of you must be mistaken," Chu Batian said coldly, narrowing his eyes:

"Whoever admits their fault now can expect a lighter punishment. Otherwise, the Sect Master and I will assign a mission from which one does not return unless completed. Think carefully about your decision."

Xin Badao frowned, looking at Yan Dujiu and asking:

"Are you sure there’s no mistake in the test results?"

"Sect Master, how can even you not believe in me? The Detoxification Liquid really is of no use,"

Yan Dujiu called out with a look of grievance.

"We didn’t lie either," Long Duba and Mei Dufeng shouted resolutely.

"Fine, since it’s like this, it’s simple then," Chu Batian suddenly smiled, taking out a bottle and said:

"Long Badao, drink this bottle of Five Poison Powder, then use the Detoxification Liquid to detoxify yourself first and see if it works. We have an antidote anyway; it won’t threaten your life."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Long Duba’s mouth twitched. Although he practiced Poison Skill, it was clear they weren’t allowing him to resist, but to let the Five Poison Powder act within his body, which would have the same effect as truly being poisoned.

"Hmph, feeling nervous now?"

Yan Dujiu sneered, looking at Long Duba with mockery.

"Who’s nervous?" Long Duba reached for the bottle of poison, gritting his teeth and said:

"If I prove that the Detoxification Liquid can neutralize the toxicity of the Five Poison Powder, then you must accept the Sect’s severe punishment."

"Fine," Yan Dujiu nodded without hesitation, very confident in his test results.

Chu Batian and Xin Badao sat in their chairs, silent.

"All in,"

Long Badao bit his teeth and drank the whole bottle of poison in one go.

"Brother, did you really drink it?"

Mei Dufeng swallowed hard, looking worriedly at Long Badao.

"Do you have a better idea?"

Long Duba gave Mei Dufeng a disdainful glance, and then closed his eyes to sense the changes in his body.

"Hehe, Sect Master, Long Duba daring to drink the Five Poison Powder without hesitation doesn’t seem like he’s lying," Chu Batian said with a smiling face as he glanced at Yan Dujiu, then turned to Xin Badao:

"If Yan Dujiu’s test result is inaccurate, then I think it’s necessary to replace the person in charge of the Yunhai Institute,"

"Let’s wait and see the results first,"

Xin Badao laughed casually. The Yunhai Institute had become a major source of income for the Poison Sect, and he knew that the Great Elder had long coveted it, always wanting to bring it under his own control, but he was very confident in Yan Dujiu.

Several minutes later, Long Duba’s complexion turned ugly, dark circles under his eyes and convulsions in his hands and feet, before he started to lie on the ground foaming at the mouth.

"Senior brother, quickly drink the Detoxification Liquid."

Mei Dufeng hastily gave Long Duba a bottle of Detoxification Liquid to drink.

Chu Batian and Xin Badao both leaned forward slightly, both very attentive to the outcome.

"Huff, huff, huff."

After taking the Detoxification Liquid, Long Duba’s condition noticeably improved, the convulsions stopped, and he no longer vomited so dramatically.

"It’s effective, Great Elder, Sect Master, look closely, the Detoxification Liquid is working," Mei Dufeng shouted excitedly.

"Hehe, I think Long Badao’s courage and willpower to test poisons on himself makes him more suitable to manage Yunhai Academy."

Chu Batian started to laugh, and asked Xin Badao with a smile.

"What’s going on here?" Xin Badao looked at Yan Dujiu with an unpleasant expression.

"Don’t worry, it’s not over yet!"

Yan Dujiu dismissed the concern with a careless twist of his mouth.

As soon as the words fell, Long Duba immediately screamed in agony, then started to roll on the ground like he was having a seizure, spitting out a large amount of green liquid, which was bile.

"Why is this happening?"

Chu Batian’s face turned ugly, he had only just challenged Xin Badao, and Long Duba had turned out like this, it was too fast a slap in the face.

"Cure... cure..." Long Duba, convulsing, could already hardly speak.

"Stay calm, stay calm."

Mei Dufeng’s face also looked bad, but he still firmly believed in the function of the Detoxification Liquid.

"Let my senior brother hold on for a while longer, the Detoxification Medicine needs time to neutralize the poison."

Hearing this, Long Duba, convulsing, cursed wildly in his heart. It was obvious he was poisoned, and yet you still want me to wait; I might convulse to death in a while.

"Well done, Long Duba is indeed a courageous disciple," praised Xin Badao, nodding continuously.

"Drinking an entire bottle of Five Poison Powder, which could lead to death, and yet he is still persisting, good job."

"Bastard." Chu Batian suddenly slammed the table and roared through clenched teeth:

"Aren’t you going to give your senior brother an antidote? Do you really want to watch him die?"

"No, the Detoxification Liquid will definitely work, my senior brother can hold on," Mei Dufeng still shouted stubbornly.

"Give me the antidote."

Hearing this, Long Duba suddenly spoke out in a roar, if he continued to endure, it could really cost him his life.

"Ah?"

Mei Dufeng was slightly taken aback, then quickly pulled out an antidote to give to Long Duba.

"Hahaha, what a Detoxification Liquid! Yan Dujiu, you can keep working, you’re still the person in charge of the Yunhai Academy."

Xin Badao stood up and laughed heartily.

"As ordered," Yan Dujiu looked proudly at the suffering Long Duba, then turned and walked into the laboratory.

"Great Elder, it seems we already have a candidate for that mission, so I await your good news?"

Xin Badao straightened his clothes and strode out without another glance at Long Badao or Mei Dufeng.

"What the hell are you two doing, making me lose face in front of the Sect Master again?"

Chu Batian looked at Long Badao and Mei Dufeng with clenched teeth.

"At that time, Tang Ming really used Detoxification Liquid to cure the poison," Mei Dufeng shouted with a sorrowful face.
