Danzun War God

Chapter Sixty-One: Master's Poisoning Takes Effect

Then, Hua Wuxie sighed and slowly retreated. He hurried towards the main hall, figuring the Second Palace Master should have arrived by now.

As expected, when Hua Wuxie arrived at the main hall, the Second Hall Master was still confronting the First Hall Master with the disciples who had caused trouble.

"Brother, all I need is for you to hand Han Qi and Qin Wuyang over to us. This is the second time my disciples have been injured, and this time we must get an explanation," Jiang Batian said to Tang Shuntian with a roguish expression.

"Insolence!" Hua Wuxie was directly provoked by Jiang Batian. "If the disciples of the God and Demon Palace are wrong, it is the Grand Hall Master who should judge them. When did it become your place to point fingers?"

Jiang Batian saw that Hua Wuxie and Tang Shuntian were on the same side. In his impression, Hua Wuxie had always been a neutral party, but this time he had come to rebuke him. Although he was annoyed, he was also a little wary. If the two of them joined forces, the elders of the God and Demon Palace would definitely side with them. It would be bad for everyone if they broke off relations with them now. It would be better to wait until the Grand Palace Master died of illness, and then the position of Grand Palace Master would be rightfully his.

The voice then softened as the question was asked, "So, how does the Grand Hall Master intend to deal with the two of them?"

"The Grand Hall Master has already imprisoned the two of them in the Heavenly Prison, but the other disciples involved in the disturbance must also be punished. I urge the Second Hall Master to handle this impartially," Hua Wuxie said, emphasizing each word. This was the first time in history that he had publicly opposed the Second Hall Master.

Jiang Batian was seething with hatred for Hua Wuxie at this moment, thinking to himself, "Once that Tang guy is dead, I'll see how I deal with you." But he still said calmly, "I will handle my disciple myself, but I request to see him in the Heavenly Prison."

Tang Shuntian waved his hand and said, "Take him there." Then he slowly walked back to the lounge.

Jiang Batian, following Hua Wuxie, witnessed firsthand that the two men in the secret chamber were so frozen that even their hair and eyebrows were covered in ice, and he was quite satisfied. He said, "I wonder how long the Grand Hall Master intends to keep them imprisoned?"

Hua Wuxie said coldly, "If we come out at this time tomorrow, I wonder if the Second Palace Master has any objections?"

Jiang Batian smirked and said, "Big brother handled this fairly. Alright, I have no objections. I'll arrange for a disciple to accompany you at the cave entrance. I wonder if the Grand Hall Master has any objections?" He said with a sly grin.

Hua Wuxie was furious upon hearing this, but he could only suppress his anger and say, "The Second Palace Master is right. It would be bad if we released them ahead of time."

"Haha," Jiang Batian laughed unhappily and said, "Third brother, you're being too polite. I'm having them accompany me, not supervise me."

After seeing Jiang Batian off, Hua Wuxie hurried to Tang Shuntian's rest room. There, she found Tang Shuntian lying on the coffee table with a large pool of blood on the floor beside him. Hua Wuxie quickly took Tang Shuntian's pulse and found it to be irregular and weak. She then circulated her inner energy to guide Tang Shuntian's internal energy. After half a day of effort, Tang Shuntian coughed and opened his eyes.

Seeing Hua Wuxie in front of him, he patted his hand and said, "Third brother, don't bother. This poison in my body has been going on for more than a day or two. I'm afraid I won't make it this time. Cough cough..." As he spoke, he coughed again and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Hua Wuxie looked at him with concern. This was the first time he had seen Tang Shuntian suffer from the poison. He slowly said, "So the rumors were true. Big Brother was really poisoned. It's all my fault for being so careless. I was wondering why Big Brother's cultivation couldn't be cured. If I had discovered it earlier, there might have been a way."

"Third brother, don't blame yourself. It's all fate. If I don't make it through, take good care of Tangtang for me, and also train Han Qi and Qin Wuyang well. I've already made arrangements with the Elders' Council. After I'm gone, I'll promote you to the position of Grand Hall Master," Tang Shuntian said slowly.

"Brother, please stop talking. Is there anything else that can save you?"

Tang Shuntian shook his head and said, "Let me go to the Heavenly Prison. The extreme cold of the Heavenly Prison can temporarily suppress this poison."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wuxie immediately carried Tang Shuntian away, but Tang Shuntian stubbornly refused.

"It wouldn't be good for me to walk there myself if others saw me."

"What time is it? Why are you still so stubborn?" Hua Wuxie complained helplessly.

The two arrived at the entrance of the ice cave, where they saw disciples huddled together, frozen and wary of the two entering.

As he entered the cave, Hua Wuxie glared at him fiercely, and he quickly stepped aside.

Inside the secret chamber, Han Qi and Qin Wuyang huddled together. Qin Wuyang, still shivering from the cold, clutched the Fire Essence Stone in his arms, was clearly much colder than the frozen mountains and rivers. Han Qi, on the other hand, activated the Fire Spirit Pearl and was completely unaffected, though his body was still covered in a layer of frost. Han Qi stuffed his own Fire Essence Stone into Qin Wuyang's arms as well. At this moment, Han Qi took the opportunity to comprehend the fifth level of the Formless Technique.

Suddenly a coughing sound came, and Han Qi was startled. He quickly looked out the door and saw his master coughing up blood. He looked much more haggard.

Han Qi calculated that there was still one day left until the fifteenth. What his master wanted to hide was his illness. Han Qi had an idea: he had to find a way to save his master.

He then sent his primordial spirit into his soul sea, waking the sleeping fire qilin, and asked, "Beast King, please examine my master's illness and see if there is a way to save him?"

The Fire Qilin glanced up and said, "Him? How come he's still alive? I know about this. He was poisoned in the Valley of a Hundred Beasts ten years ago." It paused here, staring at Han Qi and said, "What? You want to save him? Did I hear you wrong? You need to know why you came here. Don't get yourself involved in these trivial matters and delay your important business."

Han Qi said solemnly, "I must save this person. Tell me what method can be used to cure him from this poison."

The Fire Qilin sighed and said, "Back then, he led people into the Valley of a Hundred Beasts and carried out a brutal massacre of my demon beasts. Nearly 70% of the demon beasts were killed by them. At that time, a sixth-level centipede bit him desperately, and he was also poisoned by the centipede's Meridian-Dissolving Poison. Every time this poison takes effect, it will cause irreversible damage to the meridians of the poisoned person. In the end, the poisoned person will die because the meridians are shattered and the blood and qi flow backward."

After saying that, he squinted at Tang Shuntian for a moment and then said, "His meridians are about to collapse. If it weren't for the cold here which slows down the flow of blood and qi, he would probably be a corpse by now."

Han Qi said impatiently, "I asked if there's any hope for him, not for you to say all this useless stuff."

"There's hope!" The Fire Qilin rolled its eyes at him and continued, "However, the necessary item is extremely rare. But if you're still a Pill Master, it shouldn't be a problem. What you need is an eighth-order Reversal Pill."

Upon hearing this, Han Qi frowned. The eighth-order Rejuvenation Pill, also known as the Lesser Immortal Pill, has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but refining an eighth-order pill is not something that ordinary people can handle.
