90: Chu Yuan was dismembered, and the leaders of the three sects arrived at the imperial city!

As Heavenly Demoness spoke, the entire hall instantly fell silent.

Chu Yun’s face, which had been smiling, now turned gloomy, and even a fierce killing intent bloomed between his heroic brows.

“What kind of poison?”

“Is there a way to cure it?” Chu Yun asked in a low voice.

Heavenly Demoness’s expression darkened slightly and she said, “According to Chu Rong, it’s a delayed poison that Lan Ji obtained by chance. Even a Saint Realm poison master would need some time to cure it.”

Chu Yun’s face was solemn as he said, “So, there’s no way to cure my mother now?”

Heavenly Demoness was silent.

Meng Ruxue also frowned, remaining silent.

Although both of them were Great Emperors in their previous lives, they were not proficient in the Dao of poison.

Moreover, even if they had a way to create an antidote, they only had three short days left.

No matter how fast they were, without half a month’s time, it would be impossible.

After all, their current cultivation was only Nirvana.

If it were in their previous lives, they could cure it with a raise of their hand.

“If it’s about curing the poison, it might be too late now.”

“But if it’s about preserving her life, there’s still a way.”

“Ru Xue and I can use a secret technique to temporarily freeze your mother’s life force.”

“This way, they won’t be able to detonate the poison in your mother, and once the antidote is refined, we can cure her immediately.”

Heavenly Demoness thought for a moment, and it seemed this was the only viable method at the moment.

Meng Ruxue nodded, “Indeed, this method should be the most stable solution for now.”

After all, none of them were great poison masters, otherwise, it wouldn’t be so troublesome.

Just as Chu Yun was about to agree, the System’s voice echoed in his mind.

【Master, there’s no need for this.】

【Plague Knight, one of the Four Knights, is a Saint Realm great poison master. He will arrive in the Imperial City no later than two days. Once he comes, your mother’s poison can be easily cured.】

At the crucial moment, the System’s assistance was still so timely.

Chu Yun also slapped his forehead, he had almost forgotten about this.

The Four Knights of Tianqi Sect: War, Plague, Famine, and Death.

Among these four, Plague was renowned for his poisonous methods!

Even some Saints within the Taiyi Holy Land felt extreme apprehension towards his potent poisons.

No matter how strong the poison Lan Ji administered was, in front of a Saint poison master, it could only be considered child’s play!

“No worries.”

“I already have a method. I have a way to cure my mother’s poison.”

After gaining definite assurance, Chu Yun immediately responded.

Heavenly Demoness and Meng Ruxue were both a little surprised. If they didn’t freeze her, it meant that Chu Yun would be able to cure his mother’s poison within these three days!

“Do you still know a master of the Dao of poison?” Meng Ruxue couldn’t help but ask.

Chu Yun showed a slight smile, “No, it’s not that I know one, but that I possess one.”

Upon hearing this, the two women and Luo Feng were slightly shocked.

Your Highness still has subordinates who haven’t appeared yet?!

“Alright, there’s no need to worry about this matter anymore.”

“However, since Lan Ji poisoned my mother, she most likely intends to use my mother’s life to threaten the Shi Family.”

“This kind of malicious act, this Highness cannot tolerate!” A gloomy, cold glint flashed across Chu Yun’s Netherworld Divine Eyes.

“Master, should we make our move in advance?” Night Devour asked.

Chu Yun shook his head, “No.”

“Acting now, for them, the psychological impact wouldn’t be significant.”

“We must wait until they are closest to success, when their desire reaches its Peak, then crush them in one fell swoop, completely breaking their bodies and minds, making them utterly collapse!”

A cold smile spread across Chu Yun’s face; “But before that, we must first prepare a gift for Lan Ji.”

“Night Devour, go separate Chu Yuan’s Soul and dismember his Physical Body. On the day they revolt, deliver this gift to them.”

Chu Yun took out the Human Emperor Banner and released Chu Yuan, who had been tortured into a state neither human nor ghost, his body and mind completely broken, from within it.

Night Devour stood up, waved his hand to take him, and then responded with a smile, “Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely prepare this grand gift.”

With that, Night Devour turned and left.

Then, Chu Yun and the others continued the banquet.

… … … … …

Inside the Eastern Palace.

Late at night.

Lan Ji arrived here, in a side hall.

The Crown Prince, along with three middle-aged men, had been waiting there for a long time.

After Lan Ji entered the hall, one of the tall, extraordinary-looking men walked over with a smile: “Junior Sister, long time no see.”

“Empress.”

“Greetings, Mother.”

The other two men and the Crown Prince also walked over one after another.

Lan Ji looked at them, and a slight smile appeared on her dignified and solemn face: “Senior Brother, was your entry into the city smooth?”

“Don’t worry.”

“The route you arranged perfectly avoided the Shadow Guard’s surveillance, it was very smooth.”

“However, as soon as I entered the city, I smelled that guy’s aura, and it was truly somewhat unpleasant.” The tall man, whom Lan Ji called Senior Brother, couldn’t help but say.

And this person was precisely the current Sect Master of the Divine Sect, Nie Ming.

As for the other two, they were also of the same level as him.

Blood God Sect Sect Master, Xue Wuhun.

Corpse Yin Sect Sect Master, Shangguan Ye.

Lan Ji listened to his words and naturally understood that the annoying guy Nie Ming was talking about was naturally the current Clan Chief of the Shi Family, Shura Venerable.

Throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, the strongest Venerable was undoubtedly the Great Xia Emperor.

And next, there were actually three second-place holders.

Shura Venerable, Nie Ming, and the Shadow Guard Commander Jin Mu.

The strength of these three was completely equal, so no specific ranking could be determined, and they were simply listed as co-equal.

“Senior Brother, don’t worry.”

“The entire lifeline of the Shi Family has now been seized by me.”

“Shura… Heh heh, by then, he will have no choice but to yield to us, unless he wants to watch his own sister die tragically before his eyes.” Lan Ji sneered coldly.

She had planned for many years, meticulously arranging her schemes, and had a countermeasure for every step.

Even if the Emperor was prepared this time, she was not afraid!

Because from the very beginning, the Shi Family, whom the Emperor relied on most, had already been set up with a contingency by her.

“It seems the poison in Shi Minyue’s body has completely ripened.”

“Hahahahaha!”

“Since that’s the case, I’m truly eager to see Shura kneeling before me, begging for mercy!” Nie Ming laughed loudly without any restraint.

Smiles also appeared on the faces of the others.

Lan Ji then asked, “By the way, have my father and Elder Xue, Elder Xing, all arrived?”

Xue Wuhun nodded, “They are all waiting in the valley outside the city.”

“As soon as the Emperor enters Imperial Ancestral Mountain, the three of them can enter the city and resolve everything!”

Lan Ji smiled with relief, “That’s good.”

“Now, everything is ready, all that’s needed is the opportune moment.”
