Chapter 504 - 504 504 Corpse Deity Powder Ninth Update

504: Chapter 504: Corpse Deity Powder (Ninth Update) 504: Chapter 504: Corpse Deity Powder (Ninth Update) “Having this drop of blood will make things much easier.”

Long Yan stored away the drop of blood.

Yu Ying had also taken a few drops of blood from Huang Jifan in hopes of uncovering something, but unfortunately, she found nothing.

“Xiao Wuqing is a sly one, be careful.”

After a brief conversation, Yu Ying left with Yu Wuxia.

She planned to guide Wuxia in her cultivation, as Wuxia was now the only family she had left, she naturally put all her energy into her.

As she was leaving, Yu Ying suddenly remarked.

“Sly people are just old foxes.”

Long Yan murmured a phrase, then brought out the drop of blood.

He pointed at it, breaking the seal and the Prohibition on its surface.

Right then, a cluster of flames appeared in his palm, it was the Innate Five Elements True Fire.

The Innate Five Elements True Fire wrapped around the drop of blood, gradually burning it.

The blood melted at a visibly fast rate.

Just as the drop of blood was about to turn into ashes, a black smoke, smaller than a hair strand, emerged from it.

If one wasn’t looking carefully, it would be impossible to see.

“Indeed, it’s strange.”

Looking at the sliver of black smoke, a hint of a smile appeared on Long Yan’s face.

“Corpse Deity Powder, it’s really this thing.”

This thin black smoke was the poison from the Corpse Deity Powder.

The presence of Corpse Deity Powder in Huang Jifan’s blood proved that he was poisoned with it.

Corpse Deity Powder is as terrifying as the Corpse God Gu Poison.

Once an infected person undergoes an outbreak, they become extremely violent and lose their rationality, often doing unexpected things.

He had previously guessed this possibility, and to his surprise, he was right.

Corpse Deity Powder is a stealthy poison, colorless and tasteless.

Once it enters the body, it hides deep within, making it difficult even for the poisoned person to detect it, let alone others.

“Zhang Long is more than likely suspicious.”

Long Yan said softly.

At this point, he already had a plan in his mind, at least he had found a potentially useful clue.

The breakthrough he needed next was with Zhang Long.

During the day, Long Yan paid a visit to the Zhenyang Sect, then went back to the Courtyard.

After setting up a Prohibition, he went into the Azure Dragon Ring to cultivate.

Nightfall came, the sky shrouded in darkness, one wasn’t able to see their own hand in front of their face.

…

“Damn it!”

“Cursed!”

“Long Yan, I will kill you!”

“…”

In a courtyard, a figure was furiously pounding a two-meter-high iron dummy, bare-chested.

The dummy was covered in punch marks, having lost its original appearance.

This man was Zhang Long.

Today, he was defeated in one blow by Long Yan, and the news had spread throughout the Zhenyang Sect, causing him to lose all face.

He already had a deep grudge against Long Yan, wishing he could kill him.

“Do you want to kill me?”

At that moment, a sudden voice came from behind him.

Unbeknownst to him, a dark figure had appeared behind him.

Zhang Long immediately turned around, his gaze locked onto Long Yan.

“It’s you!”

Zhang Long’s face changed, his eyes wary of Long Yan: “What do you want, let me tell you, this is the Zhenyang Sect.”

Long Yan coming here at this time certainly meant no good.

“You wanted to kill me, right?

Well, I’m here now, make your move.”

Long Yan looked at Zhang Long and said at a leisurely pace.

During daytime, he deliberately strolled around Zhenyang Sect, knowing full well Zhang Long resided here.

“What are you really after?”

Zhang Long was extremely tense, feeling goosebumps all over, even taking an involuntary step back.

“Corpse Deity Powder, you know what that is, right?”

Long Yan stared intently at Zhang Long, then slowly pronounced each word.

Zhang Long frowned, his gaze flickered a bit, but he eventually suppressed his feelings.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’m aware of Corpse God Gu Poison.

Are you planning to poison me?”

Zhang Long tried to suppress his discomfort.

To his surprise, Long Yan had found out about the Corpse Deity Powder.

He couldn’t shake off the ominous feeling in his heart.

“There really is a problem with you.”

The change in Zhang Long’s expression had not escaped Long Yan’s eyes.

He was right, something about Zhang Long was fishy.

The poison in Huang Jifan might very well have been administered by Zhang Long himself.

“Do I need to poison you to deal with you?”

Long Yan snorted: “Tell me, who’s behind this?

Who had you poison Huang Jifan with the Corpse Deity Powder?”

“Don’t make baseless accusations.

I consider Huang Junior Brother as close as a sibling.

How could I possibly poison him?”

Zhang Long was significantly flustered now.

“Since you’re not willing to speak, then don’t blame me.”

Long Yan’s gaze was cold.

In an instant, he lunged at Zhang Long, activated his Domain, and pulled him in.

Inside the Nine Suns Domain.

Before even three breaths could pass, Zhang Long was already captured by Long Yan.

Long Yan stopped any further small talk with Zhang Long.

He immediately placed his five fingers on Zhang Long’s head, starting to employ the Soul Devouring Secret to search the latter’s memories.

Now, he was certain Zhang Long was the mastermind behind Huang Jifan’s attack.

Using Soul Devouring Secret meant there was no longer a need to play nice.

“Ah…”

The screams coming from Zhang Long’s mouth resembled a pig being slaughtered.

His face twisted hideously.

He was in unbearable pain.

After a short while, Long Yan stopped his memory search, releasing Zhang Long who fell to the ground, looking as though he had just walked back from the brink of death at the Ghost Gate.

“This Xiao Wuqing definitely has something to do with it.”

At this moment, Long Yan’s face showed a slight smirk.

He had just figured everything out from Zhang Long’s memories.

Xiao Wuqing really was involved in this incident.

Zhang Long never quite accepted Huang Jifan and had always been seeking the right opportunity to get rid of him.

As soon as Huang Jifan died, he, Zhang Long, would become the junior leader of Zhenyang Sect and, in time, he would inherit the entire sect.

Xiao Wuqing had exploited just that.

He secretly conspired with Zhang Long, promising that once Huang Jifan and Huang Haoran were dead, Zhang Long would become Junior Sect Leader.

In the future, Xiao Wuqing would also hand the sect leadership over to Zhang Long.

The Auction was simply a setup.

The Corpse Deity Powder was given to Zhang Long by Xiao Wuqing.

During the Auction, Zhang Long poisoned Huang Jifan’s tea with the Corpse Deity Powder.

Just as Huang Jifan clashed with Li Heng over an auction item, Zhang Long fanned the flames on the sidelines.

Later on, Huang Jifan and Huang Haoran were killed by the Five Poison Sect.

“Xiao Wuqing, you’re really ruthless, resorting to such sneaky maneuvers.”

Long Yan snorted coldly.

Immediately, he left the courtyard with Zhang Long.

With Zhang Long as his solid evidence, he had achieved his objective.

No more than 10 breaths after Long Yan left the courtyard, a figure arrived.

No one other than Xiao Wuqing himself.

A murderous intent played in Xiao Wuqing’s eyes.

However, even after searching the entire courtyard, he did not find Zhang Long, and his gaze instantly became gloomy.
