Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Startled, Ling Lifu looked up and saw that Senior Xiao Fan was staring at him with a face full of anger.

Ling Lifu suddenly realized what was happening and wished he could slap himself across the face.

With such a powerful opponent, what choice did I have? If it weren't for the fact that the opponent spared me because of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect, I probably would have died long ago without even knowing how. Now that the opponent is only asking me a few questions, how could I possibly hide anything from them?

Ling Lifu wiped the sweat from his forehead before slowly speaking to Xiao Fan: "This task is handled by the hall masters within the sect. Mo Qiancheng and I were only involved because we have been in the sect for many years and are familiar with the rules. However, we only know the general outline; only hall masters and above are qualified to know the specific details."

"Just tell me what you know."

Xiao Fan nodded upon hearing this, then gestured with his chin toward Ling Lifu and said indifferently.

"Yes."

Seeing Xiao Fan's impatience, Ling Lifu quickly said, "As far as I know, the elders in the sect are trying to coerce the royal family of the Chuyun Empire into launching another war against the Jiama Empire. Once the war starts, the elders in the sect will go to the Jiama Empire to spread the poison source. After it matures, they will retrieve the mature poison source."

"What source of poison?"

Upon hearing Ling Lifu's description, Xiao Fan looked at Ling Lifu with a puzzled expression and a hint of surprise in his voice.

"And what did you mean by saying earlier that you were going to spread the poison within the territory of the Gama Empire?"

Upon hearing Xiao Fan's question, Ling Lifu, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face, immediately explained, "It's the source of the poison used to feed the sect's magical beasts. This is something the sect elders have been researching for years. We don't know the specifics. Even the disciples who usually raise those magical beasts are under special supervision. No one else can come into contact with the magical beasts raised in the sect."

"As for spreading the poison to the Gama Empire, it means going to some cities in the Gama Empire with a suitable population but no strong people, placing the poison in them, and the toxicity it carries will spread to the surrounding area, affecting the humans living there and causing new mutations to occur in them."

"After screening, the elders will select the mutated toxins they need from these people and then bring them back to the sect."

As Xiao Fan listened to Ling Lifu's description, a sense of absurdity arose in his heart.

Isn't this just experimenting on viruses on humans?

The other party's earlier mention of screening for suitable virus sources must mean they want to find a mutated virus that is useful to them, right?

"According to what you just said, could it be that the cities within the Gama Empire that were wiped out by poison masters during the war between the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire were also the result of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect conducting such experiments?"

Just as Xiao Fan was in a daze, Yun Yun asked in a cold voice.

Xiao Fan and Yun Yun had become very familiar with each other after spending this time together, so he could naturally sense the anger hidden in Yun Yun's calm tone.

He had also heard about the matter Yun Yun had just asked.

Decades ago, during the war between the Izumo Empire and the Gama Empire, the Izumo Empire sent poison masters into the Gama Empire to spread poison, resulting in the deaths of countless civilians in several cities and the displacement of countless people.

This is the fundamental reason why the Gama Empire and the Izumo Empire have become irreconcilable enemies for generations; it is also the reason why poison masters and alchemists within the Izumo Empire have begun to face resistance from the outside world.

Although many cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent do not value the lives of ordinary people, they are not like the Chu Yun Empire, which can easily poison and slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians.
