Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Hating Xie Jiuniang the Most

The place where I was hiding now was a crevice between two large stones.

The light reached halfway into the crevice. Not only that, every half an hour, a powerhouse’s Divine Sense would sweep across, seemingly as a routine check.

This nearly made Xie Jiuniang want to curse.

Too strict, not giving people any leeway to live.

Xie Jiuniang was squeezed into the very innermost part of the crevice.

She could forget about any movement at night here and could only wait for daytime opportunities. But if the place was guarded tight at night, it wouldn’t be lax during the day. In her premonition, it was not until the third day that she found an opportunity.

The feeling of premonition and reality after all was different.

"Dog owner, I spotted some good stuff." Jian Lingyan said, taking pleasure in her misfortune.

Xie Jiuniang asked doubtfully, "What’s the matter?"

"In the highest cave dwelling on that cliff, that’s where Lord Bijie is healing," Jian Lingyan saw not just this, "There are also several Medical Cultivators treating him."

"Ohhh, dog owner, there are other Divinity Transformations here too, those who want to kill you... mainly, they are all cursing you." When it came to this sentence, Jian Lingyan was very excited.

Xie Jiuniang’s face was covered with black lines, "Others are cursing me, and you’re this happy?"

"I didn’t mean to be happy, but I can’t control it," Jian Lingyan claimed self-righteously.

Xie Jiuniang was so irritated that her teeth itched.

If it weren’t for the special circumstances, she really would want to beat the living daylights out of this dog thing.

Whatever others cursed her with, Xie Jiuniang was not interested.

On the contrary, she was happy that the Mo Family couldn’t solve the Lethal Poison, which was very pleasing indeed.

Now the Lethal Poison, even Lord Bijie himself could only temporarily suppress it, but not eradicate it. The several Divinity Transformations that had fled with him, who were also infected with the Lethal Poison, were currently staying in Medical Immortal Valley, letting the Mo Family suppress the outbreak of the poison.

The Mo Family Clan couldn’t even if they didn’t want to take over this mess.

Who let it be Lord Bijie who led them into the trap?

Moreover, the bottom line was that this affair came down to the problem of the seven aristocratic families.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "Is Lord Shaluo here?"

"He’s here," Jian Lingyan went on to say which cave dwelling Lord Shaluo was in, "The highest one, the second-highest one, count over to the third one from the left, that’s where Shaluo is staying. Next door, several Divinity Transformations are taking a bath together, cursing you while they soak..."

Xie Jiuniang listened patiently and did not use her Divine Sense to check.

This place was more dangerous than she imagined; it was better to be even more cautious.

Being careless here could cost her life.

In the end, she thought for a moment, then directly pulled Broken Sword with her and dove into Small Tortoise Shell.

Rather than staying outside, it was safer in Small Tortoise Shell.

As soon as Xie Jiuniang entered Small Tortoise Shell, she saw Little Fatty sprawled over the counter, fast asleep.

Jian Lingyan couldn’t stand it.

With a whoosh, Broken Sword flew over and slapped Little Fatty on the butt, "Your divine sword here is tired out from running around outside, and you, you dog thing, are fast asleep in here."

"Ah?"

Little Fatty opened his innocent big eyes.

Seeing Broken Sword, he thought it was playing with him and giggled, trying to hug Broken Sword, drooling suspiciously from the corner of his mouth, which scared Broken Sword into fleeing in all directions.

Xie Jiuniang was speechless.

She found a spot to sit cross-legged and thought about the next steps.

Everything was as forseen; she made it here.

It was very safe, and she didn’t arouse anyone’s suspicions.

But, she knew the situation to come was the most dangerous. This place was just the Mo Family’s forbidden ground, where higher-ups cultivated, but it wasn’t the Mo Family Clan’s secret heritage site.

The real treasury was built inside the family’s secret location.

To go to the Mo Family’s secret location, she would need to go through a Transmission Array.

An ordinary person couldn’t activate the Transmission Array.

And if an outsider were to activate the Transmission Array, it would be easily detected.

Xie Jiuniang had considered disguising herself as Mo Chuan, but she did not know what Mo Chuan looked like within his clan, whether he revealed his true face or remained disguised was unknown to her.

You see, he didn’t even reveal his true face to the outside world within the Sect.

Who knows what kind of honored visage he would present at home?

Apart from him, she had no contact with anyone from the Mo Family; it was impossible to find someone to impersonate on short notice.

Jian Lingyan was not mistaken.

In the cave dwelling atop the cliff ahead.

Indeed, there were people suffering from the torment of the Lethal Poison, cursing the one who had poisoned them incessantly, and it wasn’t just them—anyone afflicted with the poison shared the same hatred.

These were the very individuals who had once conspired to kill Xie Jiuniang.

In the current situation, they were soaking in a medicinal bath, using it to suppress the spread of the Lethal Poison. Because the medicine was so precious, they all soaked together in the medicinal pool.

Only Lord Shaluo and Lord Bijie were absent.

Lord Shaluo did not wish to share a medicinal bath with the others.

In fact, not just her, none of the others wanted to bathe together either; mainly feeling repulsed, but the pain from the Lethal Poison in their bodies was like countless fine needles pricking them.

A pain that never ceased.

Even those who had undergone Divinity Transformation found it almost unbearable.

And this agony would not stop for as long as the Lethal Poison remained uncleansed.

"The Lethal Poison comes from the Ao Family of the Southeast Sea Region, is that true?" one Divine Sense user, twisted in pain, asked.

"I heard so," another responded.

"The Ao Family deserves to die, their annihilation was well earned."

"What I’d like to know most is whether the Ao Family, over these years, has never researched an antidote?" The person was indulging in wishful thinking.

If there truly was a way to detoxify, the Mo Family would have used it by now.

They never doubted that the Mo Family was concealing their competence.

Mainly because the condition of the Mo Family’s own elder, Lord Bijie, was even worse. When the small palace exploded, Lord Bijie had been standing at the forefront and later received special attention from the ambushers.

He managed to escape afterward, but not only was he afflicted with the Lethal Poison, he had also sustained serious injuries.

Three or four months had passed, and the Mo Family was still striving to save him.

One person spoke bitterly, "Once I recover, the first thing I will do after leaving here is to kill her."

"Count me in. She’s so young, yet so vicious; keeping her alive is simply courting disaster."

"Without killing her, my heart’s resentment cannot be pacified."

These people didn’t specify who they wanted to kill.

But everyone knew well that the person they were referring to was Xie Jiuniang.

They wanted to kill her, and since she had trapped them into such a miserable state, it was her fault, and their resentment wouldn’t ease without her death.

Such is the logic of the powerful.

Call it tyranny or unreasonableness.

The weak live by the rules while the strong can ignore certain rules.

Suddenly, a tall, thin male cultivator, his eyes filled with resentment, glared at the only female cultivator in the pool, "When you and Shaluo were on watch, didn’t you see the trap?"

"That’s a pointless accusation."

With bloodshot eyes, the female cultivator shot back with a gaze as venomous as a poisonous snake, "Can you really blame me? None of you noticed it either."

"Stop quarreling. If you must blame someone, blame the right person."

If the other party wasn’t suffering like them, they would have reason to suspect, but currently, no one was in better shape than others.

If there was someone to blame, it was to be directed at the right person.

The identity of the one who ambushed them remained unclear.

But it was very likely related to Xie Jiuniang!
