Chapter 837: Chapter 835: The Five Poison Sect Resurfaces Under Heaven! [Third Release]

While Lin Bai and Gu Yueqing were in the Underground Palace, refining the Heaven Repairing Pill.

He Yunfei returned to Grandpa He’s room with the Nirvana Pill, and after administering it to Grandpa He,

a short while later, Grandpa He spurted a mouthful of black blood and his eyes groggily opened.

"Yunfei..." Grandpa He saw He Yunfei worrying by his bedside.

Seeing his father awaken, He Yunfei was moved to tears, "Father, father, you’ve finally woken up."

Grandpa He said faintly, "It was Bao Xuanming, Bao Xuanming harmed me, I’ve realized it, I’ve been struck with Snake Heart Poison, hurry, hurry, notify the Miracle Ridge, tell them that the Five Poison Sect is about to make a comeback!"

Grandpa He was over a hundred years old and was considered an elder statesman who had weathered many storms in Lingdong.

Of course, he immediately knew what poison he had been inflicted with.

Moreover, Grandpa He had once participated in the great battle where Miracle Ridge attempted to eradicate the Five Poison Sect, and although they ultimately failed, the spiritual medicine team led by Grandpa He was indeed a great help to Miracle Ridge.

He Yunfei said, "Father, do not worry, I have already seen through Bao Xuanming’s schemes, and now I have issued a warrant for his arrest in Elixir King City. The moment he shows his face, he will surely be torn to pieces!"

He Yunfei’s eyes flickered with a vicious intent as he spoke.

"Father, don’t be angry, Lin Bai said that you need three more days to fully recover."

Grandpa He asked in amazement, "Who unraveled the Snake Heart Poison in me? Only the Guardian of the Sect Supreme within the Five Poison Sect has the ability to do so."

He Yunfei said with a smile, "Father, heaven has favored the He family. At your most critical moment, Lin Bai from the Swordsmanship Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge and Gu Yueqing, the chief disciple of the Dan Dao Courtyard, both arrived."

"Especially Lin Bai, it was his keen insight that helped me uncover Bao Xuanming’s deceit. He also provided the miraculous elixirs for curing the Snake Heart Poison; to repay him, I gave him the Flood Dragon Blood!"

Grandpa He said in shock, "There’s actually someone Under Heaven who can unravel the Snake Heart Poison? Quick, Yunfei, take me to see this friend Lin Bai, I want to meet him!"

He Yunfei laughed, "Father, don’t get excited. Brother Lin Bai hasn’t left our family. He is currently in the Underground Palace with Miss Gu Yueqing, refining a batch of elixir pills, and should not be disturbed."

"After they finish their refining, I will invite Brother Lin Bai and Miss Gu Yueqing over together."

Grandpa He said excitedly, "Good, good, Yunfei, you must bring Lin Bai to see me."

He Yunfei asked, "Father, is the Snake Heart Poison really that formidable?"

Grandpa He said with a bitter smile, "The Snake Heart Poison was originally concocted by the Five Poisons Holy Master, a poison capable of slaying immortals and gods."

"After ingesting this poison, there will be three stages of poison onset!"

He Yunfei said, "Brother Lin Bai has told me about this; the first stage paralyzes a warrior’s Dantian, turning them into a cripple; the second stage causes one to lose consciousness, and the third stage leads to death from the poison."

Grandpa He nodded, "You’re right, this Lin Bai is indeed no ordinary person."

"Yunfei, do you know the main purpose of the Snake Heart Poison?"

He Yunfei replied, "What else could it be? Isn’t it just used to poison warriors?"

Grandpa He shook his head and smiled, "Of course not."

He Yunfei asked, "If the Snake Heart Poison isn’t for killing warriors, then what’s it for?"

Grandpa He explained, "It’s used to control warriors!"

"Control?"

He Yunfei asked, puzzled.

Grandpa He said, "The Five Poison Sect often uses the Snake Heart Poison to control their disciples. Once inflicted, the poison flares up every three months. At that time, the Five Poison Sect administers a Life Extension Divine Pill to all followers, suppressing the Snake Heart Poison."

"If any follower fails to take the Life Extension Divine Pill, their Dantian will be crippled, and if they still haven’t taken the pill after three months, they will fall into a comatose state and eventually die!"

"This time, I was given the Snake Heart Poison, and it must have been Bao Xuanming who secretly increased the dose, causing me to enter the third stage of the poison onset immediately. Moreover, Bao Xuanming intended for me to die, which is why even the Life Extension Divine Pill could not suppress the toxicity of the Snake Heart Poison."

Grandpa He said coldly, his hatred for Bao Xuanming bone-deep as he spoke.

"The most terrifying aspect was that when the Five Poison Sect was at its peak, the Snake Heart Poison had been deeply embedded into the bodies of all leaders of the supreme powers in Lingdong, and it was with such coercive measures that the Five Poison Sect almost ruled over Lingdong!"

"Moreover, no one knew how to concoct the Life Extension Divine Pill or how to neutralize the Snake Heart Poison, except for the leader of the Five Poison Sect and the Guardian of the Sect Supreme."

"During the year the Miracle Ridge waged war against the Five Poison Sect, I joined the Spiritual Medicine team. At that time, all the Alchemists from the Dan Dao Courtyard of the Miracle Ridge and the entirety of Lingdong, amounting to over fifty thousand people, gathered and studied day and night for the antidote to the Snake Heart Poison, but all returned empty-handed."

Grandpa He shook his head and said, "That’s why the Snake Heart Poison has become the foremost of the Three Great Miraculous Poisons of the Five Poison Sect!"

He Yunfei said with unparalleled shock, "So the use of the Snake Heart Poison is actually to control warriors! No wonder the Five Poison Sect was powerful to such an extent back then."

"Warriors poisoned with the Snake Heart Poison must either obey the Five Poison Sect’s arrangements, or they have only one path left—to die!"

"How truly terrifying!"

Fear was evident in the depths of He Yunfei’s eyes.

He Yunfei thought to himself, if he was poisoned with the Snake Heart Poison, in order to survive, maybe he too would obey the arrangements of the Five Poison Sect to exchange for the Life Extension Divine Pill, just so he could keep living!

"Who goes there? Dare to barge into the He Family of the Elixir King City? Seeking death?"

"Aaaaah——"

"Who are you people?"

"Help!"

"Don’t, don’t kill me!"

"No good, my cultivation is weakening..."

"..."

Suddenly, at this moment, a commotion erupted from inside the He household.

Collisions of Spiritual Power continued unabated, and the noises spread.

He Yunfei turned back in shock and said, "What’s happened? Father, you rest well here, I will go and see."

Upon hearing the screams from outside, Grandpa He said, "No, Yunfei, help me up, I guess, they have come."

"They? Father, who are you referring to?" He Yunfei asked in surprise.

With narrowed eyes and an expression full of murderous intent and coldness, Grandpa He said, "Truly, dead but not stiff!"

Immediately, He Yunfei helped Grandpa He out of the room.

Just at that time, the old steward of the He Family came running, kneeling at the feet of He Yunfei and Grandpa He, trembling as he said, "Master, Young Master, a group of powerful men in black has arrived. They burst into the mansion and started killing, our brothers simply cannot hold them off!"

He Yunfei bellowed, "Who dares to be so bold?"

The old steward said, "I don’t know, their origins are unclear, and they are incredibly powerful and well-trained, not resembling any ordinary family warriors!"

At this moment.

Grandpa He’s eyes were fixed towards the night sky, where men in black were continuously leaping over the rooftops of the He Family estate.

"Hmph, Grandpa He, did not expect you were still alive!" said one of the men in black as he landed, staring at Grandpa He with a sneer.

Looking at this man in black, Grandpa He said coldly, "Zhang Pengyi! You’re actually part of the Five Poison Sect!"

Hearing Grandpa He sees through his identity, the man in black immediately removed the black cloth from his face and sneered, "Hmph, Grandpa He, I’ve always been a follower of the Sacred Religion!"

"Before you stands the Leader of the Five Poison Sect, Scorpio Branch, Pill King City Sub-hall, Zhang Pengyi!"
