Chapter 350: Chapter 349: Xie Jiuniang’s Arrangement

Not far away, someone was observing the small palace.

Lord Shaluo concentrated spiritual power in her eyes and used Pupil Skill to investigate.

The exterior structure of the palace was clear at a glance, but when she tried to see deeper, it was all hazy. Even after using another sophisticated Pupil Skill, she still couldn’t see clearly.

"The structure of this small palace is quite special, even my Pupil Skill can’t see inside," Lord Shaluo stated coolly.

The female cultivator was surprised, "That shouldn’t be possible, can it actually block your Pupil Skill?"

"There are still methods that can block my Pupil Skill," said Lord Shaluo, but she was also quite curious in her heart.

As her cultivation base grew more profound, the things and techniques in the world that could obstruct her Pupil Skill had become exceedingly rare.

Lord Shaluo had intended to step forward to investigate.

Normally, a Golden Core is no match against a Divinity Transformation.

But the person before her was no ordinary Golden Core.

To be honest, she was quite wary of this Minor Golden Core. To kill her, those families had not yet succeeded but had already paid with many Divinity Transformation lives and a vast amount of resources. Even if their plan succeeded this time, the connections accumulated by the families over tens of thousands of years would be exhausted.

The two waited for almost half an hour.

The small palace still stood strong, and no one came out.

After waiting a while longer, there was still no movement.

Until another Divinity Transformation cultivator came looking.

The female cultivator complained discontentedly, "Why are you so late?"

"The Lin Family’s several mines were seized. Lin Ao messaged me, so I had to go over to help temporarily. But by the time I got there, the enemy had already fled, not even a shadow was seen," the Divinity Transformation cultivator was not very pleased.

It was a wasted effort with no gains.

The female cultivator sympathetically said a few words.

Then, the Divinity Transformation cultivator said, "How’s the situation here? Once we’re done with this score, this matter will be settled. If it weren’t for owing them a favor, I really wouldn’t want to do something like this, it’s thankless and exhausting."

"It has been quite troublesome, dragged on for so long."

The female cultivator pointed towards the distant small palace, "The person is inside, not sure what they’re doing."

"Shouldn’t she be in a hurry to travel?" the Divinity Transformation cultivator asked doubtfully.

The female cultivator sneered coldly, "I heard her relation with her family isn’t that good, she might not be eager to rescue them. Just putting on a show coming out. She even went to the restaurant in the city just now to eat and drink."

"Her parents are in the family, that doesn’t seem right."

The Divinity Transformation cultivator suddenly became vigilant, "Could it be a Blinding Technique?"

The female cultivator was displeased, "You mean, Shaluo and I have been played? We both saw her enter the small palace with our own eyes."

Just at this moment, several more Divinity Transformation cultivators arrived together.

The leader among them was a Divinity Transformation cultivator from the Mo Family of Medical Immortal Valley.

Lord Shaluo asked, "Elder Mo, what do you think?"

"Once everyone is here, we’ll make our move together," the Mo Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivator was slightly doubtful but still trusted Shaluo’s abilities.

The place where they stood was not close to the small palace.

With the naked eye, they could only see a tiny dot, but their Divine Sense could clearly see the palace, with the formation activated, indeed it did not look like there was no one inside.

The Mo Family’s Divinity Transformation cultivator said indifferently, "Everyone’s here, we can make a move."

The next instant, ten Divinity Transformation cultivators appeared outside the small palace.

The Mo Family’s cultivator sealed off that space.

The other nine Divinity Transformation cultivators each concentrated their most powerful techniques.

Merging into a powerful strike, they bombarded the small palace simultaneously.

No matter if Lord Shaluo could see the person inside the palace, as long as the target had gone inside and did not come out.

This strike was enough to take her life!

Let all the grievances vanish with this strike.

Under this single strike, the heavens seemed to shatter.

The space sealed by the Mo Family’s cultivator was collapsing due to the powerful strike.

However, the very instant the small palace was destroyed!

"Boom!"

A thunderous explosion that shook the earth ensued.

The final blast was right under the feet of the ten Divinity Transformation cultivators, and as the explosion sounded, a dense poisonous fog swiftly swept across the area of ten miles around them, causing all ten Divinity Transformation cultivators to be affected without exception.

Poisoned!

"Damn it, it’s Lethal Poison!"

"We’ve been tricked! Run!"

"Is this poison not unique to the Ao Family?"

"Has that madman Ao Zhan betrayed us?!"

Ten Divinity Transformation practitioners simultaneously fled, each deploying their divine abilities until they had distanced themselves from the site of the incident. They then promptly suppressed the bit of lethal poison they had come into contact with, and looked ahead with lingering fear.

The lethal poison was extremely vicious.

It was a concoction of one hundred and eight highly toxic substances, long-steeped in malevolent energy, producing a particularly deadly poison.

The method of its production was exceedingly cruel, involving the gradual administration of poison into a human body. The victim was then filled with resentment, tainted with malevolence, and finally, the poison was extracted using a unique technique.

Once contaminated, there was no solution.

Though the poison would not kill a practitioner of Divinity Transformation, it clung like maggots to bone.

This was a poison that struck terror in the hearts of the Cultivation World!

Its production technique had long been lost, known only to a select few who were aware of its preservation by the Ao Family.

This was why they immediately suspected the Ao Family upon being poisoned!

"Shaluo, be careful!"

Someone urgently called out a warning.

Suddenly, a Flying Sword, fast as a shadow, aimed straight for the back of Shaluo’s neck.

Shaluo hastily dodged, narrowly escaping this sword, but she did not avoid another burst of sword light that came at her all at once!

This sword aimed directly at her back!

The assailants were two people, working in perfect harmony.

Shaluo’s vestment robe formed a protective barrier in an instant, but it was instantly breached by the sword light. It blocked half of the sword’s momentum, but still slashed into her back, blood splattering.

Regrettably, after all, it was blocked for an instant by the vestment robe.

It prevented the sword from killing Shaluo on the spot, only wounding her severely.

The next moment, Shaluo crushed a high-level Teleportation Talisman.

Her figure then vanished.

"Has she escaped?"

An icy-cold, youthful voice spoke, with a touch that somehow gave the impression of delicate weakness.

It was none other than Lord Ying’an.

That seemingly fragile and sickly beautiful young man.

Even though his hidden ailment had been resolved, he had not yet recovered to his peak in an instant.

Moreover, the other Divinity Transformation practitioners who had been poisoned, including those from the Mo Family, also encountered ambushes by powerful adversaries.

"Who are you people?" a Mo Family Divinity Transformation practitioner asked in shock.

"Tsk."

Someone responded with a cold sneer, "Bijie, it’s you."

Bijie’s heart skipped a beat; this person actually knew him?

The ones who had come to set the ambush were eight hidden Divinity Transformation practitioners from the Sect.

They were part of a trap prepared in advance by Xie Jiuniang, who had borrowed the lethal poison obtained from the Ao Family. They had been invited to take advantage of the situation.

Kill as many as they could. If they couldn’t kill, they would try to inflict heavy injuries on these people, making sure they didn’t have the energy to cause trouble.

As for the warning from those coming from the borders, it was not that Xie Jiuniang didn’t respect it.

Others weren’t giving her a way to live; she was merely fighting back. What was wrong with that?

...

Far away, thousands of miles distant.

Chaoyan was hurriedly carrying his disciple on the road.

The instant the little palace exploded, a divine sense he had left there transmitted the scene back to him.

"Disciple, those people have fallen for it. The leader is Lord Bijie from the Mo Family," Chaoyan narrated what he had seen.

Xie Jiuniang with her expression stern inquired, "Lord Bijie?"

"Yes, the character of the people from Bijie’s line in the Mo Family is questionable," Chaoyan remarked, recalling the recent intense internal strife, and continued, "Your Master Chaoruo said that there is a great divide within Medical Immortal Valley these years."

The Mo Family’s powerhouses had split into two factions.

One faction was engaged in healing and saving lives daily, non-stop, as if their own lives didn’t matter, and even went to the Mortal Realm. The other faction was profit-driven, seizing opportunities to accumulate wealth, like the lineage of Bijie.

It wasn’t just the Mo Family caught in internal strife; the other families were the same.

With so much happening, the conflict was inevitable.

Moreover, these families had one mishap after another...
