"The White Ape Sect is similar to our Beast Taming Sect. They are both representatives of a sect whose ancestors were once wealthy but are now in decline."

Mo Xuesong said, "But our Beast Taming Sect is stronger than them. We are a tiger that will not fall down even if it dies. The White Ape Sect only has its leader Li Zhao who is somewhat respectable now. The other disciples are not much different from those of the third-rate sects in the martial arts world."

This is not Mo Xuesong bragging, but the truth.

Although their Beast Taming Sect has declined, they still have a supreme elder who is at the Nascent Soul stage. The sect master and several elders are also at the Core Formation stage, and there is also him, a genius of the time, who is there to support the situation.

Even if it is no longer a super power, it can still be considered a first-rate sect.

But the White Ape Sect is, at best, a second-rate sect.

Of course, even at its most powerful, the White Ape Sect could not compare to the Beast Taming Sect.

"It is said that the founder of the White Ape Sect learned martial arts from a white ape monster, so he opened up the White Ape Sect. This person is of the same generation as the founding ancestor of the Great Xuan Dynasty. It is said that he was defeated by the founding ancestor of the Great Xuan Dynasty several times."

Dongfang Liuyun also interrupted, "He is still capable despite being defeated. Besides, there must be a reason why the White Ape Sect has been passed down for so many years."

"So, what do you think the White Ape Sect's intention in sending us wine is?"

Su Mu said.

"There are only two possibilities. The first is that Li Zhao is a good man and will not miss any opportunity to show his goodwill to the court."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "The second possibility is that he has ulterior motives and there is something wrong with this monkey wine."

Mo Xuesong rolled his eyes. "It's all nonsense. It's either good or bad. Do you need to say it?"

"Is there something wrong with the monkey wine?"

Su Mu asked.

“There seems to be no problem at the moment.”

Dongfang Liuyun said, "We found some animals and tried it. They didn't have any abnormal reactions after drinking monkey wine."

Of course, they would not drink this kind of wine of unknown origin.

What's more, it is not suitable to drink while escorting a serious criminal.

"Li Zhao suddenly wants to buy Xiao Wu. Could it be because Xiao Wu is similar to the monster that taught their founder martial arts?"

Luo Anning suddenly asked.

Just now Dongfang Liuyun said that the founder of the White Ape Sect learned martial arts from a white ape monster. Except for being a little smaller in size, Xiaowu does look like an ape, and its hair is also white.

“Maybe that’s the reason.”

Mo Xuesong said, “Although I don’t know what bloodline Xiaowu is from, it does look like a white ape.

Li Zhao's knowledge of monsters is not as good as mine. He must have mistaken Xiao Wu for a white ape."

"If that's the case, then we have to be on guard against the White Ape Sect."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "This matter involves their founder. They may value Xiaowu more than we think. Who knows, they might do something irrational."

"The White Ape Sect doesn't have the guts, right? Even our Beast Taming Sect wouldn't dare to provoke the Peaceful Division so easily."

Mo Xuesong said.

"You, the Beast Taming Sect, have dealt with monsters too many times, and your brains are no longer working properly."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "It's clear from the first glance that Li Zhao is not a good person. From the first time I saw him, I felt that he was a double-faced person.

Although he kept a low profile, I could still see hostility towards us in him.”

"hostility?"

Mo Xuesong didn't care about Dongfang Liuyun's sarcasm towards the Beast Taming Sect. They had been arguing about this a lot in recent days.

But now Mo Xuesong didn't want to argue with him, so he started to think seriously.

He indeed did not sense the hostility from Li Zhao, the leader of the White Ape Sect.

In this regard, he admitted that he was indeed not as good as the blind man from the East.

"We have no grudges against the White Ape Sect. Where do you think his hostility comes from?"

Dongfang Liuyun continued, "At the beginning, he hadn't met Xiaowu yet."

"You mean, he's coming for Prince Su?"

Mo Xuesong's eyes lit up and he said, "Why didn't you tell us earlier? If you had told us earlier, we would have taken him down right away!"

These are all real achievements.

"Without any evidence, why would you attack someone?"

Dongfang Liuyun said, "People came to visit you with good intentions, but you arrested them instead, without any evidence, just based on a guess?
How does this make people in the world view the Taiping Division?
Even within the Taiping Division, this cannot be explained away."

"We'll know if the White Ape Sect has any ill intentions after a try."

Su Mu said calmly, "Pour out the monkey wine and replace it with clean water.

When we set up camp tonight, let's pretend to drink."

"good idea!"

Dongfang Liuyun said, "Although the monkey wine looks fine, there are too many colorless and odorless poisons in the world, and no one can guarantee that it is fine.

Even if the alcohol itself is not a problem, being drunk will still give the enemy an opportunity.

This is called luring the snake out of its hole.”

Mo Xuesong had a thoughtful look on his face, and he wished he could find a small notebook to write it down.

I feel like I have learned something again.

Both Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun are too treacherous.

I still have a lot to learn.

…………

"Master, they are already setting up camp."

A disciple of the White Ape Sect nimbly jumped down from the tree, skipped in front of Li Zhao, and spoke respectfully.

Li Zhao had a gloomy expression and said in a cold voice, "Keep exploring, and be careful not to be discovered by them."

The disciple responded and went again swiftly.

"Master, what if those people don't want to drink? Even if they do, it's impossible for everyone to drink..."

A disciple said.

He thought it was impossible to use monkey wine to make all those people drunk.

"Do you think this Sect Master wants to make them drunk with wine?"

Li Zhao sneered, "Do you think those people will not be on guard?

Don't treat the people from the Taiping Division as fools.

If Su Mu doesn't even have this bit of vigilance, then he is just a name in vain.

But he certainly didn’t expect that there was nothing wrong with the monkey wine itself.”

"What's the problem then?"

The disciple asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Drunk."

Li Zhao showed a smug look on his face, "No matter if they drink or not, as long as the alcohol smell comes out and mixes with certain smells, it will turn into poison, making people's muscles and bones sore and weak. Even a True Yuan Realm warrior can't stand it."

"So, Sect Master, the pollen you asked the junior brothers to sprinkle outside their camp was actually for this?"

The disciple suddenly understood.

"That's right. The scent of alcohol and pollen are not poisonous alone, but when mixed together, they are extremely poisonous."

Li Zhao said, "How do you think they can defend against this?"

The disciple was convinced. Yes, even if they didn't drink, as long as the wine was around them, they would always smell of alcohol.

Anyone who changes will obtain the truth.

"As long as they are poisoned, they will be like fish on the chopping board. No matter how great the world's genius is, they will be slaughtered by us!"

The disciple smiled and said, "The Sect Master is truly able to plan and win battles from afar!"

"Originally I just wanted to save Prince Su and that was it. I didn't want to offend the Taiping Division to death."

Li Zhao said in a deep voice, "But now, I must take that white ape. In order to prevent our identities from being exposed, all of them must die!"

A cold murderous intent spread in the night. …………

“Do you smell a scent?”

Inside the camp, Su Mu and his companions sat around the campfire.

Two thousand soldiers were taking turns to rest to ensure that there was always someone guarding the prison van.

The soldiers who were resting were eating heartily, and each of them had a jar of wine in his hand.

However, the wine in the jar had already been called away by Su Mu, and now there was only water in it.

Dongfang Liuyun shrugged his nose and suddenly whispered.

"Just the scent of flowers."

Mo Xuesong said disdainfully, "Are you blind and your nose doesn't work? This is the scent of spring cold flowers. Spring cold flowers are not rare. We can see them everywhere on the mountain where our Beast Taming Sect's mountain gate is located.

Many monsters are very sensitive to the scent of spring cold flowers."

In his opinion, this is the wild, and it is normal to smell the fragrance of flowers.

"Have you seen the spring cold flower? I haven't seen many flowers along the way. How come there is such a strong fragrance?"

Eastern Flowing Clouds.

You are blind, can you see flowers?
Before he could utter this rebuttal, Mo Xuesong reacted.

He thought about it and realized that he didn't seem to see many spring flowers along the way.

"has a problem?"

He looked at Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun.

“Are spring cold flowers poisonous?”

Su Mu did not answer him, but asked instead.

"It shouldn't be poisonous. We in the Beast Taming Sect often use it to feed monsters. After taking the Spring Cold Flower, the monsters will become much more docile."

Mo Xuesong thought and said, "I don't know if it has any effect on humans. The spring cold flower tastes bitter, and no one would take it as food.

As for floral scents, we smell them all the time and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

"Have all the thunderbolts been put in place?"

Su Mu hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"rest assured."

Dongfang Liuyun whispered, "It doesn't matter if they don't come. As long as they dare to come, we will definitely make sure they never come back."

The weapons and mysterious soldiers that Hou Wuque had prepared to use against them are now in their hands.

Nowadays, whenever they set up camp, they would quietly deploy those weapons and mysterious soldiers around the camp.

With these weapons and mysterious soldiers, they are not afraid at all unless there are multiple Jindan realm strong men attacking.

Just as they were discussing, suddenly, a scream came from the bonfire next to them.

When Su Mu and his companions looked over, they saw several soldiers standing up, then staggering and falling to the ground.

Everyone's expression suddenly changed.

I've been cautious all the time, but I still got tricked?
Su Mu's figure flashed and he arrived in front of the soldiers.

He reached out and grasped the wrist of a soldier lying on the ground, and felt his pulse.

"Master Su, I feel weak all over."

The soldier was still conscious, but he felt weak all over.

The situation of the rest of the soldiers was the same.

Everyone in the Taiping Division had already picked up their knives and were on alert with a vigilant look on their faces.

The soldiers in charge of guarding the prison van also became nervous, holding their rifles high.

Su Mu glanced across the entire audience.

It was discovered that apart from these soldiers on rest, there was nothing unusual with the rest of the people.

An idea came to his mind, and he picked up a wine jar on the ground.

If you want to know what these paralyzed soldiers did, it was that they drank "fake wine"!
"There's something wrong with the wine jar!"

Dongfang Liuyun picked up a wine jar almost at the same time as Su Mu, smelled it, and said in a deep voice.

"I see."

Su Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gleam of light flashed in his pupils.

Mo Xuesong looked at Su Mu, then at Dongfang Liuyun, his face full of question marks.

How come it turned out like this?

Weren't all the monkey wines poured out? The wine jars were filled with water, so why was there something wrong with the wine jars?
Did Li Zhao smear poison on the wine jar?

That's not right. If there was poison in the wine jar, then the monkey wine should also be poisonous.

The monkey wine has been given to animals to drink, so it is not poisonous.

He felt that he could not keep up with Su Mu and the others' thinking at all.

“It’s the smell!”

Luo An Ning said seriously, "Monkey wine itself is not poisonous, but the smell of wine and the sudden floral scent!"

Her body shook a little, and just by smelling the odor from the wine jar, she felt weak and reacted all at once.

She had heard of this method before when she was in Wuling City. The two things were originally non-toxic, but they became poisonous when mixed together.

Unexpectedly, I encountered such a method here.

Pfft!
At this moment, Su Mu and Dongfang Liuyun fell to the ground one after another.

Mo Xuesong was still standing there with a puzzled look on his face. Why didn't he feel anything?
Dongfang Liuyun had already kicked him on the leg.

"Pretend to faint, can't you?"

Dongfang Liuyun said in a low voice.

Mo Xuesong looked around in astonishment and found that everyone from the Taiping Division had already fallen to the ground. They looked like they had been poisoned just like the soldiers before...

He was the only one standing there.

"I……"

Mo Xuesong lay down, looking up at the sky in silence.

The Taiping Division was nothing like what he had imagined.

Are all these people so skilled?
Could it be true, as Dongfang Liuyun said, that we in the Beast Taming Sect have spent too much time dealing with wild beasts, so we have all become stupid?
Mo Xuesong turned his head to look.

He found that the soldiers guarding the prison van had all fallen to the ground, and he suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.

Even the soldiers knew how to pretend to be poisoned, so why didn't I react?
Yes, it must be because of what Dongfang Liuyun said.

He lowered his head, secretly took out a small notebook from his arms, and wrote it down silently.

Next time, he will definitely not lose!

…………

"All down?"

Li Zhao showed a happy expression on his face and laughed loudly, "So what if it's the Taiping Division? Even if you are a treacherous bastard, you still have to drink my foot washing water!"

He turned around to look at the White Ape Sect disciples behind him, raised his hand and spoke loudly.

"We rescued Prince Su this time. When Prince Su ascends the throne someday, we will be his loyal ministers. At that time, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory!

Even if you don't want to serve as officials in the court, when I get the White Ape, our White Ape Sect will become the largest sect in the world, and you will be the heroes of our revival!"

All the disciples of the White Ape Sect showed excitement on their faces.

"Kill Taiping, save Prince Su, and become a meritorious official!"

One disciple shouted, and the others followed suit.

Li Zhao waved his arm and shouted, "Action!"
