Chapter 153 The Detoxifying Effect of Crimson Lightning
"That's about it. Thank you for your concern, Fellow Daoist Jiao. How are your injuries?" Liu Wanzong asked in return with a smile.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Liu, don't you know me? I've always been thick-skinned and tough. Even if I stand still and you beat me for a whole day and night, my injuries will still heal in three or four days."
At this moment, Liu Wanzong still had a smile on his face, but he was very uncomfortable inside. He had been fighting this python king for most of his life and knew its terrifying talent. He really didn't have any magic weapons that could kill with one blow, so in recent years, he had mostly been on the defensive when fighting it.
"Alright, Fellow Daoist Jiao, you invited me here, surely to discuss a ceasefire, right? Let's get straight to the point and call a ceasefire now, what do you think?"
"It seems Fellow Daoist Liu understands me best. Since our two sides have finished fighting, let's make a ceasefire. The old rules still apply: neither side shall start a war on the border."
Liu Wanzong sneered repeatedly. This time, the monsters from the Northern Frontier had gained a great advantage. They not only wiped out all the old, weak, sick, and disabled people in their territory, but also occupied Qingshui County, a full two-thirds of its territory.
However, he had no choice, as the battle had turned against him and he had no room for argument.
And so, the war, which had lasted for nearly seven or eight years, ended abruptly.
At the entrance of the market, Xia Yuhui looked at the towering city and felt a surge of killing intent. They were the ones who were unrighteous first, so they couldn't blame him, the old red-haired ghost, for being unjust.
After saying that, he quickly entered the market. He couldn't go to find Daoist Heiyun right away. He couldn't give himself away when they met, so he had to make some preparations.
Besides, although he wasn't seriously injured this time, he was poisoned by the Python King. Now he needs to think about how to get rid of the poison. As for other things, what could be more important than his own life?
As for believing the Python King's words, you might as well just commit suicide; at least that would be more painless.
Upon arriving at the cave, Xia Yuhui immediately activated his divine sense and began to examine his inner self. After examining himself, Xia Yuhui discovered that his dantian was completely black and seemed to be getting worse.
Xia Yuhui immediately tried to use his magic to clear it away. However, as soon as the magic approached, Xia Yuhui suddenly felt a piercing pain in his dantian, and then his magic was instantly assimilated.
Xia Yuhui immediately stopped his suicidal actions, but it was too late. He immediately spat out a mouthful of black blood, clearly indicating that his dantian had been damaged.
"Impressive skill! Is this the power of a third-tier demon beast?"
That being said, Xia Yuhui did not give up. He had his own methods, and Xia Yuhui was not without his own as well.
As soon as he thought about it, Xia Yuhui was immediately enveloped in crimson lightning.
Crimson lightning has always been the nemesis of poison, but Xia Yuhui was still cautious this time. He first used a wisp of crimson lightning to test the waters.
As soon as the crimson lightning approached his dantian, the black energy began to flee from it. Xia Yuhui was overjoyed and began to inject even more crimson lightning.
Once the two sides met, the crimson lightning and the black mist immediately began to disappear together. However, it seemed that the black mist was of extremely high quality, so the crimson lightning could only destroy a small portion of it.
But that's enough!
The next moment, crimson lightning began to appear all over Xia Yuhui's body, and even his dantian began to emit crimson lightning.
A full quarter of an hour later, Xia Yuhui had used up all the crimson lightning, and the black energy had also disappeared a little bit.
Xia Yuhui grinned upon seeing the result. As long as it worked, that was fine. His crimson lightning wasn't some kind of baseless water; he believed that with gradual grinding, it would eventually wear them down.
Now, he needs to think about how to deal with Black Cloud Taoist.
Although the poison gas is no longer a concern, the crisis facing the Python King is not yet completely over.
Being watched by a third-tier demon king, if Xia Yuhui fails to complete this mission, that beast will probably come looking for him sooner or later. If it were just Xia Yuhui alone, he could roam the world, even going to the core area of the human race. But he is a member of the Xia family.
Therefore, he must complete this task, and he must do so without Black Cloud Taoist noticing, otherwise he will definitely suffer retaliation afterward.
It's likely that the scale was for tracking and positioning, and since Black Cloud Daoist is usually with two Golden Core cultivators, those demonic beasts probably weren't just targeting Black Cloud Daoist.
However, this has nothing to do with Xia Yuhui. On the contrary, he is happy to see this scene, because his Xia family will also benefit from it. As for saying things like betraying the human race, that is irrelevant.
Ha ha!
He only betrayed Guiyun Sect, not the entire human race. Even if Guiyun Sect falls tomorrow, a second Guiyun Sect will rise up. The surrounding human forces will not stand by and watch the ancient kingdom's territory be invaded by demonic beasts.
Of course, such a thing is unlikely to happen. Guiyun Sect is a major sect with a history of at least a thousand years. Even if these two Golden Core cultivators were to die, they would still have ways to save their lives.
Killing these two Golden Core cultivators was simply unrealistic, but killing Xia Yuhui thought it was possible.
Two months later, Xia Yuhui emerged from the cave and immediately began searching for the Black Cloud Taoist.
Fang City Center
At this moment, Xia Yuhui had arrived outside a cave. Sensing the increasingly dense spiritual energy around him, Xia Yuhui was certain that this cave was the cave of the Black Cloud Taoist.
He had been asking around and finally found it.
Only the Black Cloud Daoist could build his cave dwelling next to two second-tier top-grade spiritual veins.
"Senior, what brings you here?" Upon seeing Xia Yuhui arrive and look around, the two gatekeepers immediately asked.
"Fellow Daoists, this is the entrance to the Black Cloud Sect Leader's cave."
"This is the place. May I ask what important matter this senior may have with the sect leader?"
"I am Xia Yuhui. I just completed my mission two months ago and returned alive, so I have come to report this."
"Senior Xia, please wait a moment." After saying that, a cultivator threw out a communication talisman and put it inside.
"Come in!" Not long after, the deep voice of the Black Cloud Taoist rang out.
Xia Yuhui adjusted his state and entered the cave, whereupon the restrictions were lifted one by one.
Upon entering the cave, Xia Yuhui saw the Black Cloud Taoist sitting upright on a futon in front of him.
"Xia Yuhui greets Sect Leader Heiyun." This time, Xia Yuhui was not as humble as before; his tone was neither servile nor arrogant.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Xia. I wonder if your injuries have healed?"
"This junior has indeed recovered most of his injuries. I have come today to inform Sect Leader Heiyun about the course of this mission and to inquire whether the other fellow Daoists survived."
