78: The Hundred Poisons Sect

Chapter 78: Bai Du Zi of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect

On the summit of an unknown peak in the Qingyun Mountain Range.

The fierce wind howled, and clouds and mist swirled.

Two figures in black stood silently, wary of each other.

At this moment, one of the black-clothed figures slightly raised his hand and casually tossed a pouch-like object towards the other.

The pouch arced through the air and landed accurately in the other's hand.

The black-clothed figure who threw the pouch slightly narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly, "The Seven-tailed Centipede's previous losses have been recovered. Poison God sent me to bring it to you."

The black-clothed figure receiving the pouch caught it steadily, a flicker of imperceptible joy flashing in his eyes, but it was instantly replaced by indifference.

"Alright."

Saying this, he tucked the pouch into his embrace and turned to leave.

But at this moment.

The black-clothed figure who threw the pouch suddenly spoke, seemingly casually, "Oh, right."

Hearing this, the black-clothed figure who was about to leave stopped and turned back in confusion.

"On my way here, I heard Disciples of your Qingyun Sect discussing something."

"That a Genius has emerged from your Qingyun Sect's Xiao Zhu Peak?"

Instantly.

The black-clothed figure who received the pouch frowned slightly, his eyes filled with sharp killing intent.

His hand gripped the sword hilt, his body slightly leaning forward, as if ready to strike at any moment.

"Bai Du Zi, you are not allowed to touch the Disciples of my Qingyun Sect!"

Hearing this.

Bai Du Zi, however, shrugged nonchalantly and sneered, "Cang Song, you are truly hypocritical to the extreme."

"Is this the ugly face of you self-proclaimed righteous people?"

"You are clearly colluding with the Demon Sect yourselves, yet you pretend to be very concerned about your sect's Disciples. Who are you putting on a show for?"

Cang Song gripped the sword hilt, his expression complex, and said in a deep voice, "I only want Dao Xuan dead, it doesn't mean I want the Qingyun Sect annihilated."

"Unless necessary, I will not allow you to touch my Qingyun Sect Disciples."

"Otherwise!"

"If you dare to lay a hand on him, I will kill you."

Bai Du Zi still shrugged nonchalantly, nodded slightly, and said, "Got it."

Following that, he slowly turned around, his black sleeves fluttering in the wind, and gradually disappeared into the clouds and mist.

Cang Song remained standing rooted to the spot until Bai Du Zi disappeared from view.

"Senior Brother Wan..."

Qingyun Sect Mountain Range.

Su Han stepped onto his Flying Sword, speeding towards Xiao Zhu Peak like a shooting star.

At this moment, he could vaguely see the outline of Xiao Zhu Peak.

The wind whistled past his ears, but his thoughts drifted away, recalling the exchange he had just had with Wan Jianyi.

"This is only Wan Jianyi's most basic sword technique, yet I've already gained so much."

"I can't even imagine what benefits I would gain if I thoroughly absorbed his hundreds of years of insight into the Sword Dao."

For a moment, Su Han's lips curved into a smile, his heart filled with yearning and anticipation for the future of the Sword Dao.

But at this moment.

Su Han's Flying Sword suddenly slowed down.

He could clearly feel his body slightly tensing up, as if a pair of invisible large hands were slowly contracting, restricting his movements.

"What's happening?"

A trace of doubt couldn't help but arise in Su Han's heart.

This strange sensation was the first time it had appeared, making him feel somewhat odd and uneasy.

Su Han tried to adjust his state, but the sense of tension lingered stubbornly.

And just as Su Han was filled with confusion.

Suddenly, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed, as if this place had become a world of its own.

At the same instant.

At this moment, the sixth sense of Buddha Body, Demon Heart sounded in his heart like a sharp alarm, strongly warning Su Han of approaching danger.

Su Han was startled in his heart.

This strong sense of crisis was also the first time he had felt it.

"Could it be that the Child of Destiny entry was initially warning me of danger?"

"Was it just that because it was the first time I felt such a sensation, my reaction was slow?"

"Leading to me not having enough time to escape immediately?"

This thought flashed through Su Han's mind.

"Go!"

Without any hesitation, Su Han silently shot out a fragment of the Ni Lin Sword, its direction precisely towards Xiao Zhu Peak, towards Shui Yue's residence.

At the same time.

He tried hard to calm himself down and tested several directions by controlling his sword.

But no matter which direction he moved in, the sense of crisis did not diminish in the slightest.

"Can I use the Rainbow Transformation Technique to ensure my safety?"

Thinking this, the sense of crisis in his heart not only didn't weaken in the slightest this time, but his body's reaction became even more intense.

Thus, Su Han rejected this idea.

"It seems I've been targeted by someone in the Shangqing Realm!"

Su Han looked at Xiao Zhu Peak, which was clearly close by but which he couldn't approach, and the fragment of the Ni Lin Sword, which seemed to be moving farther and farther away from him without any obstruction.

"It seems... I am already within the opponent's Formation."

"If I use the Rainbow Transformation Technique, I might be able to shake off the opponent for a short time, but over a longer period, I would become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered with no ability to resist because my magical power would be exhausted..."

At this moment, Su Han slowly stopped controlling his sword's speed.

He began to ponder where this sudden danger was coming from.

"Within this Qingyun Sect, who could give me this feeling of danger?"

"Cang Song?"

But Su Han quickly shook his head. "Cang Song only wants to target Dao Xuan right now; he hasn't reached the point of being insane enough to attack any fellow Disciples."

"Otherwise, Lin Jingyu wouldn't have received his full, unreserved tutelage."

"But if it's not Cang Song, who could it be?"

And just then, an incredibly terrifying Aura, like a surging tide, washed over him, instantly enveloping Su Han.

The Aura was filled with gloom and evil, as if from a demon of Hell, sending shivers down one's spine.

Su Han's expression instantly turned solemn. He knew that the true danger had arrived.

At the center of that terrifying Aura, a figure in black slowly emerged, emanating a chilling presence.

At this moment.

His eyes were filled with mockery and killing intent, as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Not bad, kid, you actually discovered this old man?"

Su Han tightly gripped the hilt of the Ni Lin Sword in his hand, watching the person before him warily.

"This kind of Aura... Demon Sect?"

"This kind of presence... the opponent is at least an Elder in the Demon Sect, their strength is definitely no less than the Shangqing Realm, or perhaps they are in the Shangqing Realm itself."

Although he thought this in his heart, Su Han's mouth seemed to know nothing at all.

"Senior, which lineage's Head Seat are you from in my Qingyun Sect?"

"Heh heh!"

Hearing Su Han's question, Bai Du Zi sneered.

"Bullshit!"

"You hypocritical guys from the Qingyun Sect, even if I were made the Sect Head, this old man would find it extremely distasteful."

Saying this.

He shook his head. "Kid."

"Looking at your expression, you should have actually guessed my identity, right?"

"That was a clever question."

"Unfortunately, since I dared to appear, I didn't plan on letting you live."

"However..."

"If you can answer a question for me, I don't mind letting you die a little easier."
