"Not sick!" Ye Yuan said coolly.
Li Teng said with a bitter face, "Young Master Ji, earlier was indeed this old man's fault . . ."
Ye Yuan extended his hand and interrupted his words, saying, "Li Yang is really not sick. He was poisoned!"
"P-Poisoned?"
Astonishment was written all over Li Teng's face. Li Yang's condition looked like he was sick from every angle. How could it be poison?
"Don't believe?"
"W-Where did that come from? Young Master Ji's words, this old man naturally believes it!"
"But disbelief is written all over your face."
". . . . . ."
Ye Yuan said, "The poison he's inflicted with is called Mind Loss Powder. It's colorless and tasteless. Even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles can't detect it. Spirit artifact rank Profound Silver Needles . . . I reckon that you guys don't have it, right?"
"This . . ." Li Teng sucked in a cold breath when he heard it. A poison that even magic artifact rank Profound Silver Needles could not detect. That was exceptionally powerful.
"Actually, when I bumped into Li Hong and the rest and heard them talk about Li Yang's symptoms, I had some guesses. But diagnosing him earlier confirmed my conjectures. Mind Loss Powder doesn't have any obvious symptoms after being inflicted by it. It's just that one's actions would become rather peculiar. And the flare-up duration is also roughly around a month. It's an extremely powerful poison," Ye Yuan said.
"Then . . . does this Mind Loss Powder have a cure?" Li Teng asked tremblingly.
"There naturally is. It's just that . . . I don't seem to have a need to give it to you, right?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
Li Teng was stunned when he heard this. But he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.
He could also tell that Ye Yuan was indeed someone with abilities. It was just that the way he behaved was too arrogant.
Even if he had offended Ye Yuan previously, he was, at any rate, a Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm existence. This brat actually did not give any face at all.
To Li Teng who held a high position, he could not accept this sort of humiliation.
If it were not for Li Yang, he would most likely have fallen out long ago.
Who would have expected that Ye Yuan seemed to have long seen through his displeasure and said with a smile, "Whatever you're upset by, say it out. Don't keep it in your heart. Later, the elderly one falls ill before the young one recovers. Those people would be overflowing with joy in their hearts."
Li Hong was at the side the whole time and did not dare to make a sound. Hearing Ye Yuan's words at this time, he finally could not resist urging, "Young Master Ji, you should say a little lesser."
Ye Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You still have the nerve to speak! You blockhead, playing what expressing your will through death! Do you know that if you had died, you'd have played right into other people's hands? If you died, not only would there be nobody who pities you, others would even stomp a few times on top of your corpse and spit twice!"
Li Hong was a steadfast person and would not say anything to Ye Yuan's words. But Li Teng completely erupted at this time!
"You, this Junior, really don't know what's good for you! Do you really think that without you, the earth won't rotate anymore? I'm grateful to you for saving Little Yang, but aren't you going a little too overboard by acting so tyrannically?" Li Teng said furiously.
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "Old man, good advice is an unpleasant medicine! If not on account of Li Hong's face, I wouldn't even be bothered to care about these lousy matters in your tribe! Wait until you, father and son, get harmed and killed by others, you can then go to the underworld to reunite!"
Li Teng snorted coldly and said, "Exaggerating things to scare people!"
But Li Hong finally understood a little and quickly asked, "Young Master Ji, your meaning is . . ."
Ye Yuan burst into laughter and said, "Don't you feel that the entire incident is very fishy?"
"Ah? Not at all! Our tribe has always been harmonious. Patriarch and Vice-Patriarch, the two of them have several hundred years of friendship. Us junior generation also have a very good relationship! Young Master Ji, aren't you . . . overthinking things?" Li Hong asked warily.
Ye Yuan had an exasperated look like he failed to live up to expectations and said, "You being loyal to people is being loyal, but you're too dumb! Think it over properly, why did your young patriarch get poisoned out of the blue? Why were you sent to the most dangerous place to seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng? And does your family's patriarch look much older than before you set off? Additionally, who was the one holding the authority over the tribe these few days? Start using your brain and think properly! Perhaps your family's patriarch was close comrade-in-arms with the vice-patriarch formerly. But now . . . hehe."
When Ye Yuan's words were said finish, Li Teng and Li Hong ruminated over it.
Li Hong said weakly, "You mean to say that Elder Dao Yuan deliberately made me unable to rush back in time?"
Ye Yuan snickered and said, "At least you're not too stupid!"
"But . . . we calculated the travel route prior to this. How did he know that I won't make it back in time?" Li Hong said perplexedly.
"That's too easy! The Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng is a prerequisite item for the Crimson Tailed Scorpion's advancement. He just has to know beforehand that there is a Crimson Tailed Scorpion over there about to advance, then send you guys over. Can you all still make it back?" Ye Yuan said.
Li Hong sucked in a cold breath. But he still felt that this was too unbelievable. "But the Cloud Prancing Tribe is flourishing with each passing day right now. If the young patriarch can advance to the Soul Sea Realm, we would become even more overpowering. Why did they do this?"
"Because that way, they would have even less of a chance!"
The one who spoke was not Ye Yuan, but it was Li Teng who had been keeping silent the entire time.
Chapter 359. Paying Back in His Own Coin |
Within Zhu Yun Manor's hidden room, Vice-Patriarch Zhu Yun's eyebrows were locked tightly, appearing very somber.
"Oh, Dao Yuan, where did this boy come from? How can he have such capabilities? That Li Yang was clearly already dead. How can he possibly have resurrected?" Zhu Yun opened his mouth to ask.
Master Dao Yuan similarly had knitted brows and was very gloomy. "That boy's finger technique is unbelievably profound. It's indeed rather odd! But . . . he only opened up the obstructed meridians in Li Yang's body and let him revive for the time being. My Mind Loss Powder is incurable. Li Yang can last for at most another two days. He still has to die!"
Zhu Yun's eyebrows raised up. "Dao Yuan, is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true! Mind Loss Powder is colorless and tasteless, a type of poison that paralyzes a martial artist's nerves. It's simply incurable! I made Li Hong and the others go seek out the Purple Illusion Blood Ginseng just to find a scapegoat to help you all clear away some obstacles! In fact, what antidote is there?" Dao Yuan said, brimming with confidence.
"Then that's good, that's good! As long as Li Yang dies, the title of number one genius in the tribe will fall on Little Tian's head. The next patriarch will incontestably be him!" Zhu Yun let out a sigh in relief.
Zhu Shan gritted his teeth and said, "It's all that damn punk. Otherwise, our plan would have already succeeded. Now, many unexpected complications cropped up! After Li Yang dies, I must think of a way to kill him!"
Dao Yuan immediately concurred, saying, "That's right! That boy is sinister as hell. He mustn't be kept! We have to think of a way to kill him!"
Being threatened by a junior, Zhu Shan and Dao Yuan were both filled with pent-up anger. Furthermore, their plan was originally flawless but was ruined by Ye Yuan. How could this not infuriate them?
Zhu Yun clearly did not have much of a favorable impression of Ye Yuan too. He said indifferently, "Relax. As long as Li Yang dies, Li Teng would completely not be in the mood to bother with tribe matters. At that time, wanting to deal with a brat, wouldn't it be effortless?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The secret room's door was knocked on violently.
Zhu Yun's brows furrowed, appearing rather annoyed.
"Little Tian, this boy, is always so quick-tempered. How will he take on great responsibilities in the future?"
As he spoke, Zhu Yun causally fired out a blast of essence energy. The secret room's door opened on its own.
The moment the door opened, a fretful looking Zhu Tian barged inside. "Father, disaster is imminent!"
Zhu Yun said impatiently, "Talk slowly, what's the hurry? The sky hasn't fallen yet!"
Zhu Tian said anxiously, "The sky has already fallen! Li Yang, he . . . he . . ."
Zhu Yun frowned and said, "What about Li Yang? He died?"
"Aiya! Li Yang didn't die! He was saved by that punk!"
"WHAT?!"
"Li Yang was brought back to life by that punk!"
Zhu Tian repeated again. Dao Yuan and Zhu Shan stood up.
"How is that possible?! My Mind Loss Powder is absolutely foolproof! Even I don't have the antidote. Where did they get the antidote? This is impossible!" Dao Yuan said incredulously.
"What do you mean no antidote?! There's news from over there that Li Yang has already completely recovered! Now, they are all praising Ji Qing that punk the miracle hand of god over there; a living divine doctor!"
Zhu Tian was full of indignation. The young patriarch position that reached his hands was going to be handed over so quickly. How could he not be depressed?
Zhu Yun did not speak. His eyebrows locked tightly as he paced around inside the room.
After some time, he suddenly looked at Zhu Tian with shining eyes and asked, "You said just now that news came from over there. Is it not confirmed yet?"
"It was said by the undercover that we arranged inside the Patriarch Manor. The news can't be wrong!" Zhu Tian said.
"Then, did he see Li Yang?" Zhu Yun pressed on.
"Uh, that's a no! But he said that he saw that after Li Teng and Li Hong walked out of Li Yang's room, they were grinning from ear to ear. Following that, this news was announced. It shouldn't be wrong! Now, Li Teng regards Ji Qing as a distinguished guest and nearly praised him to the skies! Looking at the momentum, it's about to surpass Master Dao Yuan!"
Zhu Yun did not say any more but exchanged a look with Dao Yuan and asked, "How do you see it, Dao Yuan?"
Dao Yuan was originally very nervous too. But hearing Zhu Tian's words, he relaxed.
"In my view, Li Yang wasn't revived at all! How can the poison of the Mind Loss Powder be so easy to resolve? Even if that child started learning the alchemic path in his mother's womb, it's also not possible to have the ability to resolve the Mind Loss Powder poison. If Li Yang is really fine, Li Teng should be taking care of him at this time, not entertaining Ji Qing with great fanfare! But . . . Li Teng might have already detected our affairs!" Dao Yuan said.
Zhu Yun nodded and said with a sigh, "I was his assistant for so many years. Already reached this extent and he's still unwilling to let go! Him doing this is forcing me to take action!"
Zhu Tian was at a loss listening by the side. He totally did not know what these two were talking about.
"Heh heh, he's the one forcing us! Originally, I didn't plan on taking action this early either. But since it already reached such an extent, the first to strike naturally has the advantage! Moreover, we have already been preparing for several years. How can he arrange anything appropriate in a short duration of time?" Zhu Shan said with burning eagerness.
"Uh, Father, what are you all talking about? Are you going to make a move?" Zhu Tian had a baffled look.
Zhu Yun looked at this son and did not know what he should say either.
Zhu Tian was indeed preceded by Li Yang in terms of martial strength. But in terms of wits and stratagem, Li Yang tossed him several streets behind!
Zhu Yun could only control his impatience and explained, "Li Yang wasn't resuscitated at all! In fact, he's already dead! The reason why Li Teng is entertaining Ye Yuan with such a great fanfare is because he became aware of our intentions and wants to soothe us first, and to make us not dare to take reckless actions so that he can arrange for a backup plan to deal with us!"
Only then did Zhu Tian come to a realization. He said excitedly, "Turns out that Li Yang is dead already! Haha! From now onwards, I'm the number one person in the Cloud Prancing Tribe's junior generation!"
But Zhu Yun ignored him and said to Zhu Shan, "Gather all of our men. Tonight, at midnight, we'll sneak into the Patriarch Manor silently and utterly crumble Li Teng's forces!"
"Yes!" Zhu Shan accepted the order and left.
. . . . . .
Midnight, a group of experts silently sneaked into the Patriarch Manor.
Zhu Yun and Li Teng, the two of them established the Cloud Prancing Tribe together. Zhu Yun might even be more familiar with the Patriarch Manor than his own home.
In terms of martial strength, Zhu Yun and Li Teng, the two of them were around the same; they were both at the Peak Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm.
But tonight, Zhu Yun brought a number of experts forth. Just the Sea Transformation Realms had four people!
Five versus one. With a sneak attack, he, Zhu Yun, could not possibly lose.
As long as he took down Li Teng, the Cloud Prancing Tribe would naturally fall into his hands.
The group of people sneakily entered the courtyard and started to creep towards Li Teng's residence quietly.
But as they walked, they discovered something off.
Zhu Yun discovered that they had already walked for a very long period of time. Why was it still so far away from Li Teng's residence?
Zhu Yun turned back around and could not help being greatly startled. The few people that he brought here were all missing!
"Sh*t! We walked into a trap!" Zhu Yun felt that things were bad.
But right at this moment, Patriarch Manor suddenly became brightly lit. A large group of people appeared in front of him!
"Lord Vice-Patriarch, why aren't you sleeping at home late at night but come here to wander around instead?" Ye Yuan asked Zhu Yun with a grin on his face.
Chapter 360. Lesser Confounding Formation! |
Zhu Yun's expression changed. He saw one familiar face after another.
Li Teng, Li Hong, Li Min, so on and so forth. Of course, there was Ye Yuan.
When his gaze landed on Li Yang's body, it involuntarily shrunk! Ji Qing that punk really cured Li Yang!
Also, no clue whether Ye Yuan did it deliberately or not, but he stood at the forefront; a certain distance away from the rest.
Zhu Yun originally already despaired. But seeing this, he was secretly thrilled.
"Seeking death!"
Zhu Yun erupted suddenly and clawed at Ye Yuan's throat. He wanted to hold Ye Yuan hostage!
But when he arrived in front of Ye Yuan, he immediately felt that things were not good. It was as if Ye Yuan did not see him. He actually did not evade or dodge!
There was a blur in front of Zhu Yun's eye. He actually passed directly through Ye Yuan's body and could not help being greatly alarmed!
"Lord Vice-Patriarch is really composed in the hour of peril. To actually still think of taking me hostage. However . . . you won't have the opportunity." Ye Yuan still stood at his original spot as he looked at Zhu Yun with a wide smile.
How could the grand array that Ye Yuan spent a full day to set up be easily broken by Zhu Yun?
To be able to make Ye Yuan spend an entire day to lay it out, the power of this grand array could be imagined.
This array formation was born out of none other than precisely Lu Linfeng's Asura Confounding Array!
Ye Yuan called it, Lesser Confounding Formation!
Although the name sounded very ordinary, its power was remarkably terrifying!
The complete Asura Confounding Array was an illusionary killing formation. Forget about Sea Transformation Realm martial artists, even if the Fierce Gale World's Wind Emperor, a Boundless Realm powerhouse, entered within, it would also be certain death!
Back then, if the Grand Yan True Sect's sect master could comprehend this set of array formation, he completely would not need to sacrifice the entire sect to protect the Endless World. He could directly use this grand array to trap the Fierce Gale World's Wind Emperor to death!
Although Ye Yuan comprehended this set of array formation, he could not even unleash 0.1% of its power.
Hence, he blazed out a new trail, stripping away the illusion formation within this set of array formation and lowered the difficulty; that was this Lesser Confounding Formation before their eyes!
Even so, this also took Ye Yuan one full day!
Looking at it now, the effects were rather decent. The Ninth Level Sea Transformation Realm Zhu Yun trapped within could not figure out the direction at all.
This array formation did not have the effect of killing people. It was just a pure trapping formation. But wanting to come out was as hard as ascending to heaven!
The terrifying aspect of this Lesser Confounding Array laid here: I stood right in front of you, but you could not see me!
Zhu Yun gnashed his teeth hatefully and roared, "Stinking brat! I'll kill you!"
Zhu Yun pounced at Ye Yuan desperately. But Ye Yuan was like the moon reflected on the water; he was completely unable to touch Ye Yuan!
The current Zhu Yun was just like a monkey being teased.
"Stop wasting strength. You can't hit me," Ye Yuan said coolly.
After flopping around for a long time, Zhu Yun himself was dead exhausted. But he did not even touch Ye Yuan's clothes and was unbelievably disheartened.
At this time, Li Teng slowly walked out, came in front Zhu Yun, and said, "Sigh . . . old chap, why did you do this?!"
Zhu Yun looked at Li Teng, his state like he was insane as he said, "Hahaha! Li Teng! Are you pitying me now with the attitude with a winner? I don't need it!"
