Chapter 493: Chapter 71: Husband and Wife [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

"Their actions were quicker than we expected, that was unforeseen."

Thin lines of water trickle down, tendrils of smoke rise from the teacup, the aroma of tea permeates the air. The man pouring the tea lightly gathers his sleeves and pushes the teacup towards the person in front of him.

The man’s complexion is yellowish, and his body is extremely thin, looking very unhealthy. He exudes a sense of impending death from head to toe.

Across a small table from him sits a man dressed in black. Despite being inside the warm room, he still wraps himself in his heavy black robe. His face, bearing the marks of time, is expressionless and gloomy.

"The Medicine Jars don’t have time to consume humans..." The man in black takes a sip of tea first. Following this, he seems to be oblivious to the burning heat of the fresh brewed tea in his mouth and finishes it all in one gulp. He puts down the teacup and says, "It’s estimated that the damage they can cause is limited."

"You can’t blame Master Song. Nobody thought that the Regent Residence would deploy before chaos broke out." The thin man spoke slowly, "What a shame about Master Song’s poison-infected zombies. It’ll probably only be effective once and an antidote will likely be developed in no time."

"Mr.Yang, please be assured," the man in black addressed as Master Song scoffed, "As long as the compensation you provide is adequate, I should be able to develop a new, potent poison soon."

"Master Song is indeed the most powerful Poison Master at Black Pine Ridge," Mr. Yang flattered lightly.

Outside the window, cries and wails echoed. The vicinity of their tower was right in the midst of the greatest turmoil within Yu Capital City. The dark shadows running around had bitten many civilians, and those injured civilians entered a frenzied state after a brief struggle.

In the dense crowd at the prisoner offering ceremony, many people in the inner circle have already been bitten, and those in the outer circle do not even know what happened, unable to escape in time.

Thankfully, the elite of the Regent’s Residence promptly took action. Whenever a civilian went berserk, the Cultivators descended from the sky and quickly subdued them. The recently poisoned civilians did not pose a high threat and were easily subdued.

Soon enough, not only the Regent’s Residence but also City Patrol and the rest of the Yu City soldiers joined the battlefield, helping evacuate the crowd and subduing the poisoned.

However, amid such panic, the tranquility inside these walls felt surreal.

"The Medicine Jars are mostly caught. It won’t last long," Master Song shook his head, appearing unsatisfied.

"This is enough," Mr. Yang said confidently, "Our main battlefield is not here."

"After this, I probably will no longer be able to gain a foothold in the Nine States," Master Song suddenly said, "Could your Mars... perhaps, let me join?"

"That’s not up to us," Mr. Yang responded indifferently, as if he expected such a request, "I can ask my superiors for you. If they’re willing to take you in, we would certainly welcome you."

"Even with such high cultivation levels, you and your wife can’t make that decision?" Master Song seemed surprised.

"Cough, cough ..." Mr. Yang coughed a few times, and said, "My wife holds a higher position than me. If not for her, I might not even qualify to join."

"Ah?" Master Song was genuinely surprised. After dealing with the man before him for several days, he had already felt the unfathomable depth of this person. If even he barely cut it, how powerful was this organization?

No wonder they dared to stir up trouble in the world.

"Madam is indeed impressive," he could only say so.

"Yes," said Mr.Yang, "Except for her unattractive looks, my wife is top-notch in all other aspects..."

"Yang Buju!" Suddenly, a shout came from outside and the door was thrust open. With the entrance of a gust of fragrant wind, a voice screamed, "Are you badmouthing me again!"

A tall and graceful woman walked in; her skin was delicate, her features soft and gentle. Her eyes were slightly flirtatious, her beauty could be deemed as the epitome of perfection in this world.

Just her mannerism left something to be desired.

She wore a purple dress, her sleeves rolled up as she walked over and grabbed Mr.Yang’s ear, giving it a hard pull.

"My dear..." Yang Buju cried out in pain.

Master Song’s eyebrows twitched as he watched the woman beat up a seemingly frail Yang Buju profusely. Only when he could no longer get up, did she stop satisfied and sit down to have her tea.

"Madam Xiao, is everything going according to plan?" Master Song asked.

He looked slightly uneasy. The woman’s name was Xiao Wuyan, the wife of Yang Buju. Clearly, this woman was far more terrifying than her husband.

"It went rather smoothly." Xiao Wuyan nodded, "Everything is within plan."

At the side, Yang Buju got up and returned to his desk, awkwardly asking, "Madam, whose face is this?"

"It’s a palace lady’s. I found it pretty, so I’m borrowing it." She gave him a side glance, "Don’t you like beauties? How about if I maintain this appearance from now on?"

"I prefer your original appearance." Yang Buju stated firmly.

"Huh." Xiao Wuyan scoffed, "Nonsense."

...

"Ah–"

Around this time, the Regent Residence was filled with cries of mourning.

All the civilians poisoned by stasis toxin were sent here. Currently, there was no cure for this poison, and only Chu Liang’s Detoxifying Whip could detoxify it.

Crack crack crack...

Chu Liang was brandishing his Detoxifying Whip, lashing it at a man whose entire body had turned black. In the courtyard, there was a large group of people, poisoned and bound, their bodies exuding an increasingly heavy black aura.

"Those who have been infected for long will frenzy and combust, transforming into actual stasis stiff men who can no longer be saved. We must detoxify those most severely poisoned first." Chu Liang said to the nearby staff at the Regent Residence.

"We might be too late..." Xue Muyu frowned deeply.

She was off to the side, deploying her Divine Skills to help calm the poisoned, but with little effect. After frenzying, the stasis stiff men could only be forcibly suppressed.

The timing of the stasis stiff men’s appearance was too malicious. It was during the prisoner presentation ceremony, when crowds in Yu Capital City were at their peak. In a blink, dozens of Medicine Jars were dispersed amongst the crowd, and stasis poison had spread among thousands of people.

The more people that were poisoned, the more people there were to spread the poison. If the Regent Residence had not taken swift action following Chu Liang’s warning, the situation might have escalated and spread rapidly to tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Even though they had taken timely control of the situation, thousands were still poisoned and poisoned victims were continuously being sent over.

Chu Liang alone was not enough. In the process of waiting, many would die from the poison attacking their hearts.

Just as everyone was growing anxious, the Regent Leader appeared.

Without saying a word, Qi Yingxuan stretched out his hand and pointed out gently.

Suddenly, all the poisoned people in the courtyard seemed to move more slowly, their movements, expressions, and even their breathing were several times slower.

Chu Liang’s eyes widened in realization. Could this be the Daoist Wu Ya?

Among various grand Daoist paths, if one had to identify the most mysterious, it would undoubtedly be the ones related to time. Although the Regent Leader had command over the Cosmic Avenue, he was also versed in the "Wu Ya" dao related to time.

With just one move now, he had managed to slow down the flow of time for all the poisoned individuals, thus slowing their hearts’ decay due to the poison. This gave Chu Liang more time to save people.

Crack crack crack–

He whipped the Detoxifying Whip like the wind, attempting all he could to extract the heavy poison from within the bodies of the poisoned. Xue Muyu, standing by his side, was ready to dissipate the poisonous fog he extracted, making sure it did not accumulate in place to poison other people.

Just when they were busily saving people here, they suddenly heard a sharp cry from outside.

"Make way–"
