Chapter 226: Poisoning
Tang San said, "The meridians affected by the old injury need to be nourished with warmth. Using fire-attribute bloodline energy is the best way to do it. It will get rid of the cold energy from the old injury and warm up your meridians. Once the stagnating bloodline energy starts moving properly, there will be no problem. I think my master is the most suitable to help you."
Mu Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see. Then I\'ll ask the mayor for help later. How do you know so much at such a young age?"
Tang San smiled and replied, "Naturally, I was taught by Mayor Zhang.”
Heh, when you know too much, you have to let your teachers take some credit.
"Anyway, sister Yu, I would like to buy some herbs," Tang San said.
"Mmm, choose them yourself."
Tang San entered the store, picked out several herbs he had already decided on, paid for them, bid farewell to Mu Yunyu, and returned to his room to prepare his medicine.
Using his Heavenly Fire Essence Iron for heating couldn\'t be more convenient. And thus, Tang San began preparing the medicines of his previous lives’ Tang Sect for the first time since arriving in this world.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
After school, in the afternoon, Mei Gongzi returned to Kali Square. She had made all sorts of preparations. For her, Asura’s plan was just a part of hers. If Asura failed, she would proceed with her own plan.
Whether it was the assassination of the leader of the Titan Bears or the attempt she was about to make on the Wind Wolf King, the reason was twofold. One was that these old nobles of Kali City supported the orthodox line of the Peacock Demon clan, which hindered her most crucial plan of inheriting the title of Demon King. The other reason was that these demon clans she attacked were consistently committing crimes against humans.
Mei Gongzi\'s second type of bloodline cultivation required the accumulation of a murderous aura. Killing strong opponents, especially those above her level, was most beneficial for stimulating her bloodline and enhancing her cultivation.
She was not disappointed. Upon arriving at the entrance of the small inn, she spotted a familiar figure in the corner where she had seen him last time.
The two entered the inn one after the other and arrived at the room they met in previously.
Asura followed her into the room. This was his third visit, so he was familiar with the place. Alas, his purpose here was not for a date; if it were, how wonderful that would be!
He took out the map and handed it to Mei Gongzi.
"Are you ready?" Mei Gongzi asked.
Asura nodded and said, "Yes, I am. We\'ll start the operation shortly. You\'ll hide at this location in the ancestral home." He spread out the map and pointed at a spot on it.
"What can I do in the front yard?" Mei Gongzi asked, puzzled.
Asura replied, "You don\'t need to do anything. Just wait for my message. I\'ll let you know if I run into trouble and need your assistance."
Seeing the distrust in Mei Gongzi\'s eyes, Asura said helplessly, "Trust me this once, and I\'ll prove it with my actions."
"Alright," Mei Gongzi nodded.
Asura opened the window, looking at the sky, "Their sacrificial ceremony is at the moment the sun sets, right?" The time of the ceremony for the same clan wouldn\'t change easily.
"Yes."
"As the sun begins to set, we will begin," Asura took a deep breath and said.
The bright sky gradually darkened as the sun slowly set in the west, the remnants of the sun blood-red. It was as if it echoed the blood sacrifice that was about to begin.
Asura and Mei Gongzi were both silent. They knew they couldn\'t stop the blood sacrifice without exposing themselves, which would ruin their plan. All they could do was to avenge their kin.
Asura clenched his fist subconsciously, involuntarily thinking back to that day when Wang Yanfeng had blocked his view, sparing him from witnessing the most brutal moment. It was on that day that his second goal in this world was set.
"Let\'s go," Asura whispered. In the next instant, he had already passed through the window, his figure flickering and vanishing into thin air.
Mei Gongzi watched his departing figure for a moment. Her body shimmered with silver light, and then she, too, disappeared without a trace.
The ancestral home of the Wind Wolf clan was even larger than the Titan Bears’. After all, this was the heart of the Wind Wolf clan.
Asura climbed up to the rooftop of the front yard from the side. From the backyard, regular roars and howls of wolves could be heard. Without a doubt, the sacrifice had already begun. Observing through the Discerning Eye of Heaven, he could see a faint blood glow emanating from the backyard.
Asura\'s figure flickered as he used Leopard Flash to move inward. As it was an important day for the ceremony, the entire ancestral home of the Wind Wolf clan was heavily guarded, with sentries every few steps.
However, a closer look would reveal that almost none of the sentry Wind Wolves had a cultivation higher than the fifth order. The higher-order Wind Wolves were likely in the backyard, attending the grand sacrificial ceremony—the most important ritual of the Wind Wolf clan each year.
The layout of the Wind Wolf clan\'s ancestral home was by now deeply imprinted in Tang San\'s mind. Using Leopard Flash and whatever hideouts he could find, he stealthily approached the central courtyard and soon arrived at the kitchen area.
He quietly lifted a tile above the kitchen and looked down. Inside were all members of the pig demon vassal clan, all busy with work, and not a human vassal in sight. The aroma of meat mixed with steam wafted upwards.
The kitchen was large, with at least fifty pig demons hard at work preparing food for the celebration that was to come after the sacrifice.
Using the Discerning Eye of Heaven, Tang San\'s vision pierced through the steam, scanning the inside of the kitchen. Quickly, his gaze locked onto rows of large vats on the west side. The elemental fluctuations emanating from these vats indicated they contained not water but wine.
In addition to the water element, these wine vats also emanated vague fire element fluctuation, a very distinct characteristic.
Outside the kitchen, two fourth-order Wind Wolves stood guard. Naturally, Tang San had no intention of entering through the main door; instead, he carefully lifted more tiles. The steam from the large pots of meat cooking inside the kitchen obscured him from view, and as it was already evening, the pig demons below noticed nothing.
Tang San slipped in, silently landed on the beams, and used his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to move along the beams without risking a slip-up. He crawled along the beams toward the west side, near the wine vats.
The pig demons below were all busy and sweating profusely. For them, failing to prepare the food today meant becoming the food tomorrow, so they did not dare to slack off.
Activating Leopard Flash, Tang San descended, coiled up in a corner, and remained motionless.
Time passed in the wait. The sky outside gradually came to complete darkness.
Suddenly, the kitchen door was flung open.
"The celebration begins. Bring out the wine and meat," a wolf demon shouted from the doorway.
"Alright, alright!" the leading pig demon in the kitchen quickly responded.
They didn\'t know that while all the pig demons\' attention was drawn to the doorway, a figure was rapidly flickering in front of the wine vats on the west side.
Tang San swiftly poured the pre-prepared packets of medicine into the wine vats. The vats were only covered with simple lids, which he could manipulate easily with Leopard Flash and Controlling Crane. He added the medicine to dozens of vats in just a few seconds.
With one final Leopard Flash, Tang San passed directly through the roof tiles, landing on the kitchen roof.
The continuous high-intensity use of Leopard Flash left him slightly breathless, but his objective had been achieved.
Carefully restoring the tiles to their original place, Tang San lay prone on the kitchen roof, his gaze sweeping toward the backyard of the ancestral home.
