Xiaoxiao.

Danling proudly recounted:

His beloved grandson had always wanted to take over the old Taoist priest's position, but the old Taoist priest had long seen through the boy's wicked intentions and therefore never gave him a direct answer.

That little beast has gone completely mad; he actually came to us on his own initiative. He said he also wanted to get rid of that old Taoist priest, so that we would all have the same enemy and could cooperate.

Hahaha... How laughable humans are! They'd even plot against their own grandfather for a position. Isn't this a golden opportunity? Hahaha...

Ying Yue angrily said, "So you poisoned the old man? How despicable!"

"No, no, no... It wasn't us who poisoned him, it was his own grandson, his precious grandson. Hahaha... We just gave him the medicine!" Danling laughed triumphantly.

"Shameless!" Ying Yue shouted angrily.

Kuang Zheng, who was standing nearby, noticed a flaw in the argument and asked doubtfully, "Land immortals aren't so easily poisoned, are they?"

Danling laughed, "Hehe... Ordinary poisons are naturally useless, but it's different if I personally concoct them! Hahaha..."

Kuang Zheng said, "You're even willing to sacrifice your own body to harm others; you've really gone to great lengths!"

"What do you know? Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. As long as we can kill that old Taoist priest, what's wrong with sacrificing a bit of our own essence as a medicinal ingredient?" Danling said.

Kuang Zheng asked, "What role do the ten major sects play here?"

Danling said with disdain, "What can these parasites do besides plunder? After the old Taoist priest was poisoned, the ten major sects launched a joint attack. The ridiculous thing is that before it even started, these parasites began to plunder. What a bunch of short-sighted vermin, they deserve to die! They thought victory was in their grasp, but they didn't expect that the children who had been guarding the old Taoist priest would suddenly rush out. Those idiots were more trouble than they were worth, and they were all slaughtered like vegetables."

"That can't be right, can it? The leaders of the ten major sects are still alive, only their cultivation has been crippled, and I was the one who crippled their martial arts. How come they've been dead for decades here?" Kuang Zheng asked in confusion.

"What do you know? Do you really think the Ten Great Sects are only this strong? If it weren't for the siege of the old Taoist priest back then, those reclusive old guys from the Ten Great Sects would have been wiped out. Do you really think you could have so easily destroyed them? Ridiculous!" Dan Ling said disdainfully.

Kuang Zheng had always felt that the Ten Great Sects were not worthy of their names, but he never expected that the real masters of each sect had all perished in the siege of Zhang Sanfeng back then.

"That battle must have been extremely fierce!" Wu Ren said with a squinting eye.

Danling said, "Of course! Even a terrestrial immortal who has been poisoned is still a terrestrial immortal. Although he can only exert half of his strength, he still seriously injured the three of us. How hateful! How hateful!! If it weren't for that old Taoist priest who seriously injured us back then, how could you be so arrogant here today?"

Ying Yue said incredulously, "So you failed?"

"I hate it..."

After venting for a long time, Danling finally said, "We failed. I never expected the Land Immortal to be so terrifying. He severely injured us in just one exchange! If he hadn't been exhausted, we wouldn't have been able to escape. But, but what can we do?"

It suddenly laughed maniacally: "So what if he's a terrestrial immortal? He's still dead! Dead!! Hahaha..."

At this moment, the light around it pulsed incessantly, appearing exceptionally excited.

Wu Ren seemed oblivious to his madness, instead voicing his inner doubts: "You escaped severely injured, but were those elders from the Ten Great Sects killed by the descendants of the Zhang family?"

Danling said with a sigh, "The old Taoist priest died after severely injuring us. At this time, the remaining elders of the ten major sects felt that their opportunity had come. So they launched a frenzied massacre against the Zhang family. In an instant, the Zhang family became a hell, with blood everywhere and screams everywhere."

But they underestimated the Zhang family. How could descendants of terrestrial immortals be so weak? Back then, because we were taking care of that old Taoist priest and also because of our control, his powerful children stayed by his side until he passed away. Once we left, who could control them?

Danling said gloatingly, "After those people joined the battle, all those damn elders from the ten major sects were slaughtered like vegetables."

One can imagine the grief Zhang Sanfeng felt when faced with the poisoning by his own grandson.

One can imagine the perilous situation he faced when the poison took effect.

Penglou mobilized all its elite forces, and the reclusive masters of the ten major sects joined forces to besiege them.

This once-powerful "land-based immortal" ultimately perished amidst a combined machinations of internal and external enemies, and the formidable Zhang family was utterly annihilated—a truly lamentable end.

"So the Zhang family still has descendants? Why are there rumors in the martial arts world that the Zhang family line has ended?" Ying Yue noticed the inconsistency and asked, puzzled.

Kuang Zheng said coldly, "Is there any need to ask? Without Elder Zhang, how could the Zhang family escape the combined attack of the Ten Great Sects and Penglou? Am I right, Danling?"

Danling said smugly, "Hahaha... at least you have some brains. But soon you'll be going down to join that old Taoist priest. Do you know why I wasted so much time talking to you? Haha, let me tell you the truth! I poisoned you the moment Zhanling sent out the spiritual energy shield. Now, do you feel weak all over? Try circulating your spiritual energy and see if you can still mobilize the spiritual energy in your body. Hahaha..."

Danling laughed wildly, now he was certain of victory.

The reason he kept talking to the three of them was to wait for the poison to take effect.

Now that the time had come, Danling stopped wasting words and immediately revealed her true colors.

Ying Yue immediately circulated her inner energy, and then her heart trembled greatly.

At this moment, she could not feel any spiritual energy in her body. Not only that, but even standing was extremely difficult for her.

He immediately shouted angrily at the three spirits, "Despicable!"

Upon seeing this, Danling burst into laughter.

Seeing that Kuang Zheng and the other two could barely stand, he felt even more smug.

But when he saw Ying Ao and his wife standing there perfectly fine as if nothing had happened, he immediately asked incredulously, "You, how come you're alright?"

Just then, Wu Ren, who had been lying on the ground, stood up nonchalantly. Looking at the three spirits with a smile, he said with a mischievous grin, "Don't mind me, you three... I was just playing along for the comedic effect. Hehe..."

Ying Yue, whose expression had changed drastically, suddenly laughed. She no longer showed any signs of being poisoned.

Just as the three spirits were puzzled, Kuang Zheng walked out carrying an abstract statue, which was the Medicine Buddha that he had obtained from Xiu Bei.

He simply placed the Buddha statue, and the thin membrane of spiritual energy enveloping everyone vanished without a trace.

It turns out that when Kuang Zheng used his spiritual energy to sense the spiritual energy membrane, he discovered that the membrane not only had a strong sealing ability.

In addition to this, there is also a hidden toxicity, though it is very well hidden.

Yet he still managed to sense it, thanks to the fact that the group had been absorbing this complex spiritual energy for a long time.

Among the many spiritual treasures they collected were not only spiritual energies of various attributes, but also countless kinds of deadly poisons.

It was through frequent contact with these highly toxic substances that they developed their extraordinary ability to identify poisons.

It was precisely because of this abnormal ability that Kuang Zheng noticed the trace of poison hidden in the spiritual energy membrane, and then used the Medicine Buddha's absorption ability to absorb all the spiritual energy in the spiritual energy membrane.

Then, by taking advantage of the flickering of the spiritual energy membrane, he instantly switched the appearance of the spiritual energy membrane with the spiritual energy in his body.

Because the spiritual energy membrane was constantly flickering, all of this was done without anyone noticing.

Because it was an exchange of spiritual energy, even the spirit that set up the array did not notice anything unusual.
