Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

However, Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all.

"Dare to harm my Prime Minister? There is no room for negotiation." With that, he thrust his silver spear forward, instantly blowing the Golden Core cultivator's head off and leaving him lifeless.

Zhao Yun drew his spear and immediately severed the two mangled heads, then mounted his warhorse and galloped towards the military camp.

Upon seeing this, all the cultivators of the Heavenly Thunder Sect felt a chill run down their spines. They admired Zhao Yun, but also deeply feared him.

This battle was destined to make Zhao Yun's name resound throughout the land. Killing two Golden Core cultivators with a mortal body was a strange event that had not occurred in the cultivation world for tens of thousands of years.

It also made everyone rediscover the true meaning of the phrase "entering the Dao through martial arts".

Martial arts, though a forgotten corner, has now become another possibility, a kind of existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with immortality.

"Prime Minister, I have successfully completed my mission and brought back the heads of these two men!" Zhao Yun flicked his silver spear, and two heads rolled to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Wu Guanqing was immediately terrified.

"Hang the heads of these two men above the city gate as a warning to others!"

As Kongming spoke, he gave Zhu Ganglie a look, and the fellow rushed forward with a tattered burlap sack in his hand.

They immediately trapped Wu Guanqing inside and bound him tightly...

Kong Ming bowed to Gu Zhenzi and said, "Thank you, Elder Gu!"

After his explanation, Kongming patted his spirit beast pouch and, carrying Zhao Yun, Zhu Bajie, and Li Muling, flew towards Wolong Manor...

"Zilong, are you alright?" At this moment, Zhao Yun's face was ashen, clearly showing the symptoms of being poisoned. Kongming asked with concern.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, Zilong can still hold on!" Zhao Yun said through gritted teeth, sitting cross-legged on his flying spirit beast.

When Zhao Yun returned to camp, Kongming had a vague feeling that something was wrong, so he hurriedly took him away.

With Zhu Bajie around, detoxification wasn't a problem, but no one could know, otherwise Zhu Bajie would be in danger. So he planned to take Zhao Yun back to Wolong Manor.

"Ganglie, speed up!"

The flying spirit beasts were pushed to their limits. Wolong Manor was not too far from the county town, only about two thousand li away.

An hour later, the group arrived at Wolong Manor.

"Ganglie, quickly carry Zilong to the secret chamber!"

Zhu Ganglie threw Wu Guanqing, who was on his shoulder, into a corner, then quickly carried the unconscious Zhao Yun on his back and ran towards the secret chamber.

Seeing Kongming's serious expression, Li Muling was at a loss. However, being a sensible woman, she knew that she couldn't help at this time, so she could only silently guard outside the secret room.

Inside the secret chamber, Kongming sat cross-legged and activated the Seven Stars Divine Transformation Technique. Immediately, layers of starlight appeared on the surface of his body. Then, with another hand seal, the starlight instantly entered Zhao Yun's body.

The poison Zhao Yun was afflicted with was extremely complex and potent, so Kongming had no choice but to use magic to stop its spread.

"Ganglie, quickly let some blood out!"

As Kongming cast his spell, he spoke to Zhu Ganglie.

This time, Zhu Ganglie did not hesitate at all. He picked up the sharp blade, gritted his teeth, and was about to stab himself in the thigh.

"Big brother, I'm a little scared, you should do it!"

Upon seeing this, Kongming stopped casting his spell and grabbed a sharp blade to stab.

After several rehearsals, they finally managed to pierce Pigsy's skin.

A few drops of bright red blood were drawn out by Kongming and put directly into Zhao Yun's mouth.

After Zhao Yun swallowed it, the pain on his face seemed to ease. Kongming examined it and saw that the poison was now enveloped in blood and no longer raging, which put him at ease.

Suddenly, a burst of black energy shot out from Zhao Yun's body, heading straight for Kongming's face with astonishing speed and a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

With lightning speed, Kongming deflected the attack with a feather fan, killing the attacker instantly.

"It's actually a living creature!"

Kongming was greatly alarmed. Pigsy's blood was only effective against poisons, but it was powerless against living carriers of the poison.

These living toxin carriers keep secreting venom, and the toxins that have just been neutralized are replaced by new toxins. At this rate, even ten pigs wouldn't be enough to kill.

Kongming frowned, pondering a solution in his heart. He knew that if he did not eliminate him as soon as possible, Zhao Yun's life might be in danger.

"Gang Lie, quickly bring Wu Guanqing here!"

Kongming instructed that he knew nothing about these poisonous insects and dared not act rashly, as Wu Guanqing might know something.

Before long, Zhu Bajie rushed into the secret chamber carrying the tattered burlap sack.

With a flick of his feather fan, Kongming sliced ​​the burlap sack in two with a sudden gust of wind.

Wu Guanqing slowly stood up, supporting himself with his hands on the ground. His magical power had been sealed by Gu Zhenzi's unique method, making him weaker than ordinary people.

"Wu Guanqing, do you know if there's a way to cure the poison of that cultivator from the Five Poisons Sect?" Kongming shouted sternly.

Wu Guanqing glanced at Zhao Yun, then at Kongming, and said.

"There is no solution! Unless the poisoner himself comes here to extract the poisonous insects from his body, or a Nascent Soul cultivator is asked to forcibly kill those poisonous insects, there is no other way."

"If anything happens to Zilong today, I will surely exterminate your entire clan, leaving no one alive!" Kongming said with a gloomy face, enunciating each word clearly.

Nascent Soul cultivators are not so easy to invite; they represent the foundation of top-tier sects. Besides, there's simply no time for Kongming to make his plans...

"Alas! I am now in danger of dying myself, how can I have the mind to care about others?"

Wu Guanqing gave a bitter smile, a hint of helplessness and despair flashing in his eyes. This time, he had been tricked to death by his own disciple, and he wished he could kill those three bastards with his own hands. He didn't care about the sect anymore.

But then he seemed to remember something, a glint in his eyes, "However..."

"But what?" Kongming's tone softened slightly upon seeing this.

“This general is of mortal constitution, perhaps he has a chance to survive!” Wu Guanqing said, his eyes narrowing as he stared at Zhao Yun.

"Oh! What do you mean by that?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, you may not know this, but the Five Poisons Sect's Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring Heart Fiend is extremely vicious. After those poisonous insects invade a cultivator's body, they frantically devour the cultivator's magical power, then secrete deadly poison and undergo fission. Any cultivator who is affected by it is almost certain to die."

Wu Guanqing shook his head and continued, "They basically died before their internal magical power was completely consumed by the poisonous insects."

Kongming frowned upon hearing this. "So, if Zilong doesn't have any magical power, this poisonous insect can't undergo fission, thus slowing down its death?"

"That's right! You absolutely must not recklessly transfer your magic power into him at this time, or he'll die even faster!"

Upon hearing this, Kongming broke out in a cold sweat. He had been unaware of the poisonous creature's true nature and had tried to subdue it with his magic, but it had only made things worse.

No wonder poisonous creatures sprang from Zhao Yun's body; they must have sensed Kongming's magical energy fluctuations and wanted to invade Kongming's body—truly vicious.

If things go wrong, we might get wiped out...
