Chapter 496: Chapter 74: Unfamiliar 【Seeking Monthly Tickets!】_1

Whoosh—

A gust of wind blew over, with the brilliant flames of the Samadhi Divine Fire sending shockwaves through all present. Even those poisoned and driven mad seemed to have quieted down a fraction. Only Chu Liang remained calm, continuing to neutralize the poison in one person after another in front of him.

It appeared that he anticipated this scene beforehand.

This damned sense of security.

Cheng Hu, from within the wall, strained his eyeballs and said tremulously, "Miss Feng?"

Empress Feng had no official title within the imperial family and not many people knew about her. However, after she berated the high-ranking members of the royal family on her own last time, her identity sparked many conjectures within the palace.

As one of the Four Great Warriors, Cheng Hu naturally knew the truth. He knew the girl was the daughter of the Royal Guardian and the second niece of the current emperor.

"Do you know me?" Empress Feng withdrew her hands and asked, "You dare to bare your teeth at my disciple even after knowing who I am?"

"Master, he wants to snatch my whip," Chu Liang whispered from behind.

"Humph," Empress Feng snorted coldly, "Don’t you have your own? Why do you want to take someone else’s?"

"Master, I don’t think he really has one," Chu Liang added softly.

"Well, he still can’t snatch it," Empress Feng muttered.

With a snap, Cheng Hu managed to extricate his head and immediately bowed, "So you’re Miss Feng’s disciple. I didn’t recognize Mount Tai even having it in front of my eyes. Right now, the royal relatives and the people from Roupu Country are all poisoned severely and need urgent treatment... Miss Feng, especially the royal relatives, they are all your family..."

He leaned closer and whispered the last sentence.

Empress Feng immediately waved a hand: "I’m not close to them."

Her face was a clear sign of not wanting to get involved.

Chu Liang then spoke from behind. "If you want to save people faster, follow the rules. You’re wasting so much time, any delay or mishap will be your responsibility."

Cheng Hu looked at Empress Feng and then at Chu Liang. The situation was indeed as such. He immediately turned around and ordered people to carry the poisoned victims out of the cart.

Only at this point did the Regent Leader take a leisurely stroll out and said with a smile, "Try to avoid getting physical next time, peace is better after all."

He hadn’t shown up before because Empress Feng was present. Otherwise, he would have stepped in when Cheng Hu was threatening Chu Liang. But since Chu Liang’s master was here, he was happy to stay hidden.

Empress Feng glanced at the old fellow who only chose to show himself now. She muttered under her breath, "Next time, I’ll beat you up too." as she turned away.

With over a hundred royal relatives and individuals from Roupu Country added to the already overwhelming group, the size of the crowd was greatly increased. Despite Chu Liang’s fast-paced antidote administering, the continuous influx of freshly poisoned victims made it seem as if the queue was hardly reducing. No matter how fast he was, he could only save one person at a time while the spread of the poison was affecting people in droves.

Despite being supported by the Regent Leader’s power, Chu Liang seemed unable to save everyone in time. The ones most severely poisoned were arranged at the front of the line, but with the situation worsening, some started bleeding profusely, turning into walking corpses and dying.

His expression gradually hardened.

Many had been poisoned at the same time, meaning that when one person started to die, a large group would soon reach their deathline as well.

Just then, a bird that appeared as a bolt of lightning sped across the sky. As it gave a sharp scream, it descended to the ground, stirring up a whirlwind.

Chu Liang’s face lit up with joy.

Two figures descended from the bird. They were Jiang Yuebai and a young man with a dark green complexion.

"Did you bring it?" Chu Liang asked immediately.

"Yes!" Jiang Yuebai nodded. As she saw the hundreds of poisoned people, she was taken aback and then pulled out a small white porcelain bottle.

When she opened the bottle and threw, a cloud of green powder filled the air, sparkling like the stars. As Jiang Yuebai waved her hand, a refreshing breeze spread the powder evenly onto the poisoned individuals.

The agitation in everyone was immediately soothed.

"It really works!" Xue Muyu was also overjoyed at what he saw, "What medicine is this?"

"It’s Asura Leaf powder," Jiang Yuebai said.

It turned out that as soon as she mentioned that this poison smelled similar to the one they had encountered last night and it likely had already appeared in Yu Capital City, Chu Liang vaguely guessed that this could perhaps be part of a more extensive conspiracy.

He immediately instructed Jiang Yuebai to collect as many Asura Leaves as possible from the Mountain of Ten Thousand Poisons. The Regent Residence then dispatched a Spirit Beast, the fastest of its kind, to pick her up. During this time, the two of them kept in touch through the Soul Crystal. It wasn’t until the situation became exceedingly tense and Jiang Yuebai had collected a significant amount of Asura Leaves that Chu Liang asked her to return.

On her swift journey back, Jiang Yuebai ground the Asura Leaves into powder to alleviate the poisonous effects as much as possible, also granting Chu Liang plenty of time to save the victims.

The Regent Leader looked at Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai, smiled, and said, "We all owe it to you two for handling the crisis caused by the Paralysis Poison."

This is the duty of disciples of Shu Mountain," Jiang Yuebai said as she turned around, pointing at the Medicine Jar behind her. "Moreover, it wasn’t just the location of the Asura Leaves that he revealed to me. He also knows who the real culprit behind this poisoning is!"

...

On the top floor of a building by the street, a couple and Poison Master Song were observing the situation outside.

"The Medicine jars have been seized, and the poisoning was controlled quickly. It seems to be nearing the end," Master Song said.

There was a hint of regret in his tone. If the Regent Residence had been slower by merely a fraction, the paralysis poison could have spread amongst hundreds of thousands of people. Such a scene...

As the concocter of the paralysis poison, he yearned to see rivers of blood. His name would have been eternally etched in history books as the most dreadful poison master.

"It’s about time, cough cough..." Yang Buju coughed a couple of times before speaking, "We’ve achieved what we set out to do."

"It seems as though you have other plans?" Poison Master Song asked him.

Yang Buju responded with a mysterious smile, "Well, that’s something I wouldn’t dare reveal to you—after all and surroundings.

you’re not one of ours."

Xiao Wuyan, sitting nearby, remained calm and composed. She laughed and said, "But I believe Poison Master Song has the potential to join Mars."

The three of them were engaged in a leisurely banter when Yang Buju’s expression suddenly shifted. Without warning, he yelled, "Run!"

Poison Master Song was still unsure of what was happening and froze in his spot. Although Xiao Wuyan was also unaware, she and her husband shared an unparalleled understanding of one another.

In an instant, the couple transformed into beams of light, scattering in two different directions.

However, it felt as if time had suddenly slowed down. Usually, their swift flight would have gotten them out of the city in a blink of an eye, but it took them a good while just to cross one street.

Then, a gigantic sword-like force descended from the sky.

Cosmic.

With the grandeur of the divine majesty, the three couldn’t help but become immobilized.

This was the terrifying power of the Eighth Realm. The three of them were all martial artists, especially the couple—they were both powerful figures in the Seventh Realm. Yet under the magnitude of this remote sword, they had no power to resist.

"Husband! Don’t worry about me, save yourself!" Xiao Wuyan yelled abruptly.

Yang Buju gritted his teeth and cut one of his fingers, causing gold-colored blood to flow out. The blood suddenly combusted into a ball of fire, and his body, consumed by the flames, disappeared in an instant.

He had means to escape, but the other two didn’t. When the Cosmic Sword force descended, they were both pressed to the ground, unable to move.

Qi Yingxuan’s image then appeared on the scene.

These people had meticulously carried out their actions. Before releasing those Medicine Jars, they had turned their drugged individuals into fools with no memory. Even if captured by the Regent Residence, there would be no way to extract useful information from their memories.

But on Black Pine Ridge, Poison Master Song had left a Medicine Jar that retained intact memories. After Jiang Yuebai brought it back, Xue Muyu, who had perfected the Bright Light Mirror Image, was able to recreate Song Master’s appearance from its memories.

Now they knew what he looked like and that he was in Yu Capital City. With a mere thought from the Regent Leader, his location could be determined.

It was at this moment that Yang Buju suddenly sensed danger.

Alas, against the Regent Leader, even with their utmost vigilance, they stood no chance of escaping.

Qi Yingxuan landed. He took a look at Xiao Wuyan and solemnly said, "So it was you two behind all this."
