Chapter 381: Chapter 0381: A Mouthful of Black Blood (Second Update)

Honda Sakura’s seductive skills had never failed her before, especially with her knowledge of Shen Xianming. By using a combination of soft and hard tactics, she was certain she could subdue him.

As expected, Shen Xianming was somewhat swayed by her flirtations.

He kept glancing at Honda Sakura’s chest, his greedy eyes seeming to bore into her.

Honda Sakura noticed his expression and softly chuckled, continuing, "What, don’t you believe me?"

Over the years, although Shen Xianming had achieved nothing significant in life, he had become quite shrewd.

Honda Sakura was like a deadly poison - one bite, and you’d be doomed. Shen Xianming had known this for twenty years.

"A woman’s heart is as unfathomable as the ocean’s depths. I think it’s better we keep our distance," Shen Xianming withdrew his hand and asked, "How do you plan to help me?"

Honda Sakura, initially doubting whether her charm had waned, heard Shen Xianming’s question and said, "Simple, I’ll make them too busy to concern themselves with you."

"What do you mean?" Shen Xianming narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you planning to take action against the Shen Family?"

Honda Sakura nodded, "Originally, if the Tang Family and Shen Family kept fighting, I might have spared them. But now they’ve united, those persistent old fools, foiling my plans! Only by driving them apart, can I seize the opportunity."

Shen Xianming, suddenly understanding her meaning, looked at her in surprise, "You’ve been plotting this for a long time?"

Honda Sakura smiled lightly, "Of course, I started planning when I purposely got close to the Tang Family and Shen Family. At first, I had those two old fools completely under my control, causing deep rifts between their families. I definitely can’t afford to give them a chance to reconcile."

Shen Xianming couldn’t comprehend why she, a woman, would go to such lengths to scheme or what secrets she hid.

Curious and worried, he feared that one day she might drag him down too.

The situation on his phone screen continued to worsen.

The once quiet Tang Family mansion now resembled an asylum, with servants running around madly, their bodies and faces covered in black spots, expressions twisted in agony.

Shen Xianming’s pupils dilated as he stared unblinkingly at the screen, "Can I know who’s backing you?"

He had to ensure that the person behind her was powerful; otherwise, his life was still at risk.

Could this turn into a lose-lose situation?

Aware that he would ask, Honda Sakura didn’t hide it, "The Ghost Poison Sect Master."

Shen Xianming had heard of Ancient Martial Arts. Since the Shen Family lacked connections in that area, they had researched extensively and knew about various sects. That’s how he came to know, at least somewhat, about the Ancient Martial Sects.

But all he knew about the Ghost Poison Sect was shrouded in mystery.

Now, seeing the havoc in the video, how the Tang Family was tormented without even a fight -- it was clear they were formidable.

Meanwhile, Chu Ge and others at the hospital received a call from the Tang Family Mansion.

On hearing the news, Tang Haowan went pale, "I’ll return immediately."

He hung up the phone and hastily pocketed it.

Nangong Man Sha had also called him, briefing him on the Tang Family’s situation.

She even described the chaos over the phone.

Chu Ge had a premonition that the Ghost Poison Sect Master was involved.

Her sect, always operating in the shadows, never did anything openly.

Unlike the Vajra Sect, which would challenge openly and, upon defeat, gracefully withdraw.

It would be ideal to live peacefully, but with the Ghost Poison Sect Master stirring trouble, he wouldn’t be courteous.

Chu Ge hurried back to the Tang residence with Tang Haowan by car. Upon entering the Tang Family Mansion, he saw a black vaporous substance filling the air and frowned deeply.

This poisoning was clearly different and more potent than the previous one at the Ouyang Family’s. He noticed the trees within the estate were withering, seemingly dehydrated, with drooping leaves.

If even the trees outside looked like this, he dreaded to think what had happened to the people inside.

Chu Ge first made Tang Haowan take another dose of Spiritual Liquid before briskly heading towards the villa. Everywhere he went, the black vapor dissipated.

However, the resolution was only temporary; new poison mist quickly drifted back.

Right now, Chu Ge couldn’t worry about that. With dozens of people inside the Tang Family at stake, every life was crucial.

Yet, he couldn’t save everyone. Fortunately, due to the weather, the villa’s windows were tightly shut, limiting the intrusion of the toxin—a stroke of luck amidst the misfortune.

Chu Ge first searched around and saw Nangong Man Sha busy helping the servants in a corner. Some were severely affected as they had to go out early for chores. Despite not knowing exactly how to help, her attentive care was still touching.

Chu Ge knew it wasn’t the time for sentimentality; following Tang Haowan, he moved upstairs to visit Old Mrs. Tang and Tang Xin.

Except for Tang Xin, the others were faring worse. Tang Xin’s body was entirely covered in a black aura, unconscious on the ground, with Old Mrs. Tang crying beside her in despair.

Seeing Tang Haowan return, she sprang up as if finding her backbone, "Haowan, come quickly and see Xinxin."

Tang Haowan, seeing Tang Xin’s condition, felt a surge of pity.

He turned to Chu Ge, anxiously asking, "Mr. Chu, what do you think..."

"Don’t worry, Old Master, this poison is nothing to me. Everyone step back and give Tang Xin some space."

With that, Chu Ge helped Tang Xin up, concentrated his True Yuan, and immediately channeled it through her skin. This time, he used a stronger force and felt the poison corroding her internal organs.

Without further thought, Chu Ge injected his True Qi directly into her body. A minute later, Tang Xin suddenly convulsed, and abruptly, a spurt of black blood shot out from her throat.
