Chapter 105: The Ghost Demon Sect Suffers



Translator: 549690339

“Is it the Deadly Blue Demon poison?!”

At hearing this, Zhou Sui’s pupils constricted. As a top-grade Pill Master, he was well-versed in all sorts of spiritual and poisonous medicines, and knew clearly what this poison entailed.

The so-called Deadly Blue Demon was brewed by cultivating an obscure poisonous plant in the miasmic valleys with the fresh blood of the Seven-step snake. Once the plant bore its quiet blue flowers, they were fed to the same lethal snake. This double-pronged poison aggravated the snake’s venom, making its scales take on a blue hue. Severing the snake’s tail and discarding the first two drops of blood, the subsequent three droplets were used to embed silver needles. These needles gleamed a muted blue, carrying the eerie aura of the Seven-step snake, thus, earning the name Blue Demon.

The violent nature of the Blue Demon poison couldn’t be described as “gentle”. Upon poisoning, the victim would be shrouded in a faint blue light. Once the color ascended to the head, the poison would affect the brain, causing a sudden hemorrhage and immediate death.

So if Leng Yuexi was alive, it was solely because her body had been fortified by a multitude of medicinal herbs and because her foundation-building cultivation was forcefully suppressing the toxicity. If not, she would have fallen a victim of toxicity a long time ago.

She wouldn’t have survived till this day.

Even with all the support, she wouldn’t last much longer.

“How did you get poisoned?”

Zhou Sui asked.

“It’s just the despicable tactics of the Ghost Demon Sect.”

Leng Yuexi clenched her fist.

She recounted how she had won an auction of a Core Formation material at the Xuanbao Tower auction in Misty Cloud City. She had intended to return to the Immortal Mist Sect and prepare for Core Formation.

Who could have anticipated that it was a trap?

The so-called Core Formation spiritual material was deliberately put up for auction at Xuanbao Tower by the Ghost Demon Sect to lure her out of her mountain fortress.

They then ambushed her in Misty Cloud City.

Initially, her impatience to form a core had made her oblivious to the plot and inadvertently, she fell into the Ghost Demon Sect’s trap.

She was ambushed by five to six foundation-building Demon Cultivators.

Their battle had wreaked havoc, shattering the peace outside the city.

Fortunately, she had some treasures and talismans that helped her escape death.

Even so, she had still been poisoned by the Ghost Demon Sect’s Deadly Blue Demon.

To detoxify the poison, she decided to stay in Misty Cloud City.

Regrettably, even after more than two years, she had been unable to purge the toxin from her body.

Conversely, as time dragged on, the toxicity grew stronger.

If she didn’t find a solution soon, she would surely succumb to the poison.

Even if she managed to return to the Immortal Mist Sect, due to the depth of the poison in her system, they might still not be able to find an antidote.

If they did find an antidote, the time she had spent poisoned may have damaged her foundation, destroying any hope of Core Formation.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the two Golden Core elders of the Immortal Mist Sect were unwilling to take the risk to save her.

After all, a valueless foundation-building cultivator was not worth the Immortal Mist Sect’s risk.

Even if Leng Yuexi had once been the sect’s Saintess.

Once fallen, she was no longer favored.

“That’s the situation. Even if you manage to rescue me, with my current cultivation, I might not be able to retrieve the Foundation Pill for you.” Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui very seriously.

She had initially intended to hide her situation.

After all, if it came to light, she, being valueless, might get abandoned.

But, for some reason, she didn’t want to lie to this man.

“I see. Well, this makes it easier. We just need to resolve the Deadly Blue Demon in your system, right?”

Zhou Sui stroked his chin and indicated that he understood the situation.

If that was the case, he would concoct Gu insects that can detoxify the poison, which should resolve Leng Yuexi’s problem. Then, he might gain a foundation-building cultivator for his own use.

Regardless, it seemed like a profitable transaction.

“Did you not hear what I said? What I’ve been poisoned with is the Deadly Blue Demon. Even the alchemists of the Immortal Mist Sect are unable to resolve this severe toxicity. Even if I’m taken back to the Immortal Mist Sect, I’m beyond saving.”

“If you exert yourself, it will only be an exercise in futility,”

Leng Yuexi couldn’t help but say.

“No matter, the person I, Zhou Sui, wish to save cannot be snatched away even by the god of death,”

“Leave the poison in your body to me to handle.”

Zhou Sui looked earnestly at Leng Yuexi.

“Hmph, do as you like,”

Upon hearing this, warmth instantly rushed through Leng Yuexi, even though he was a scoundrel with three dao companions, he knew her situation and still couldn’t bear to abandon her. He must be a good person.

But she still maintained her toughness.

At this moment, within Misty Cloud City, the foundation-building battle had finally concluded.

The desperate struggle by Lu Hongran, the patriarch of the Lu family, had caused a massive blow to the Ghost Demon Sect.

Merely the leftover shockwaves of the battle decimated dozens of disciples who were at the Qj Cultivation Stage.

Even just before he died, he managed to kill two demon cultivators in the early stage of foundation-building and heavily injured four.

The resulting destruction had caused heavy casualties within the Ghost Demon Sect, driving the remaining foundation-building cultivators into a wrathful frenzy.

“Damn Lu old ghost, you think your death will be the end of this matter?”

“Don’t be foolish, relay my orders, capture every member of the Lu family. I want to annihilate nine generations of the Lu family.”

A foundation-building elder from the Ghost Demon Sect roared in fury, he was absolutely livid.

Originally, they could have occupied Misty Cloud City without any losses, earning a resounding victory.

But who could have thought that Lu Hongran would disregard his own life, not caring if he died just so he could drag others down with him.

The result was that out of the six foundation-building cultivators, two died and four were heavily injured.

A massive victory had instantly turned into a pyrrhic one.

Although Lu Hongran was already dead, the members of the Lu family were still alive. So, they were the first targets for their revenge.

The many cultivators from the Ghost Demon Sect immediately mobilized, starting to search for the remaining members of the Lu family.

Each one committed to skinning them alive and breaking their bones, wishing to make them wish they were dead.

“Right, that woman, what about Leng Yuexi, the Young Sect Master of the Immortal Mist Sect, has she been found?”

At this moment, a foundation-building elder immediately inquired.

After all, they paid a heavy price to breach Misty Cloud City, their primary objective was to capture Leng Yuexi alive.

If Leng Yuexi managed to escape, then their entire plan would have been completed in vain.

“Reporting to the elder, there are too many people in Misty Cloud City, Leng Yuexi intentionally hid herself, she hasn’t shown herself at all, we can’t find her whereabouts at the moment.”

A disciple of the Ghost Demon Sect immediately responded, apprehensive and breaking out into a cold sweat, fearful that the elder would think they were incompetent and that they would be punished as a result.

“Hiding? Misty Cloud City is only this big, where else could she hide? She must be hiding somewhere in Misty Cloud City.”

“You don’t need to worry about that woman, even though she is at the Foundation Establishment Stage, but she was poisoned with our Ghost Demon sect’s deadly Blue Demon poison, she’s as good as dead. Her strength is reduced to a tenth of what it was, she would struggle even against a Late Stage Qi cultivator.”

“Immediately conduct a carpet search, I want to see that woman before night falls.”

The foundation-building elder issued his commands.

“Yes, elder.”

Hearing this, the many disciples of the Ghost Demon Sect sprang into action, completely surrounding Misty Cloud City, carrying out a carpet search to find Leng Yuexi’s whereabouts.

Unfortunately, they were unaware that Leng Yuexi had already hidden hundreds of meters underground.

No matter how they searched, they could not find any trace of her..
