Chapter 953

"The steps are all correct, and the timing doesn't need adjustment either. Just follow what you have there."

"Alright. Everyone has just finished breakfast and their stomachs are full, so the interval is just right for taking the medicine."

Hearing this, Chen Ang asked softly, "An Xinyi, did you prepare breakfast for everyone specifically?"

"Yes. You said yesterday morning that you were going to find the antidote, and I figured you would be able to bring it back, so I made preparations early to avoid wasting time."

"And what if I hadn't been able to find it?"

"Boss, even if you didn't come back early, everyone still has to eat. It's a task that serves two purposes at once, so it had to be done."

Seeing his expression of being unable to laugh or cry, Chen Ang finally realized what a foolish question he had just asked.

"Alright, alright, just pretend I didn't ask anything. Hurry up and get to work."

Suppressing a laugh, An Xinyi nodded and left with the herbs.

An hour later, a rich scent of medicinal herbs finally drifted through the room.

Looking at the expectant crowd, Chen Ang explained the current situation to them.

Upon learning that Chen Ang could only neutralize half of the poison in their bodies, but that neutralizing half would be enough to save their lives, the group bowed before Chen Ang one after another, their eyes reddening as they expressed their gratitude.

Seeing them like this, Chen Ang hurriedly helped them up.

"Everyone, from now on we are our own people. Although I am the Human Sect Leader, I am not an unfeeling person. You need not fear me, nor do you need to flatter me at every turn. Our Human Sect has rules, but we are not rigid about them. Once you have taken the antidote, I will take you back, and from this day forward, I will ensure your safety!"

Once Chen Ang said these words, everyone felt their blood boiling.

Looking at Chen Ang, one of them shouted, "Sect Leader, rest assured! In the future, we will certainly serve the Human Sect and the Sect Leader with our lives!"

As soon as his voice fell, the others shouted the same thing one after another. It sounded full of momentum, and even Chen Ang felt a bit stirred.

Forcibly suppressing his emotions, Chen Ang made a gesture to signal them to quiet down.

After all, there was still poison in their bodies; if their emotions were too agitated, it could very likely lead to the poison flaring up. Now that the antidote was already in the pot, it was better for them to control their emotions.

Understanding what Chen Ang meant, after shouting a few times, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, An Xinyi walked over and said with a smile, "The antidote is brewed. Everyone must drink it while it's hot. A few of you come here to help me, and we will distribute the medicine."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, but they didn't dare to act rashly and looked toward Chen Ang.

Sensing their gazes, Chen Ang said with a smile, "The catalyst in this antidote is not easy to find, so the brewed medicine must not be wasted. Go and drink it quickly."

As soon as his voice fell, everyone rushed out.

Forming a long line, they took the antidote one by one, then found a place to sit down wherever they could, trying their best to neutralize the poison in their bodies.

Seeing their actions, Chen Ang cautioned them repeatedly from the side, telling them never to mobilize their dantian Qi, lest it lead to endless future trouble.

Hearing this, everyone suppressed their aura as they moved, fearing they might cause trouble for Chen Ang, and also fearing they might drop dead after taking the antidote.

At dawn, the aura in the room suddenly turned murky.

Sensing the change in the aura, Chen Ang immediately opened his eyes.

Sweeping his gaze over the crowd, he quickly moved into their midst.

With a wave of his hand, a strand of aura flew out, enveloping everyone like a net.

Sitting in the very center, Chen Ang sat cross-legged with his hands resting on his knees.

With his fingers moving slightly, he carefully sensed the changes within the bodies of those around him.

The Human Sect members knew what Chen Ang was doing, so they breathed lightly to cooperate, allowing his aura to penetrate deep into their bodies and slowly circulate within.

After the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, Chen Ang exhaled a breath of murky air and gently opened his eyes.

After he opened his eyes, the others opened theirs as well.

For a moment, all eyes fell on his face, looking at him with nervousness and anticipation.

Meeting these gazes, a broad smile appeared on Chen Ang's face.

"Everyone, the poison in your bodies has been half neutralized. From now on, as long as you do not mobilize your dantian Qi, your bodies will be no different from usual. This poison has been heavily suppressed in your dantian and can no longer wreak havoc."

Hearing Chen Ang's words, everyone cheered instantly.

Looking at their smiling faces, Chen Ang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The poison in everyone's bodies had been neutralized, so it was time for them to head back.

Dusting off his clothes, Chen Ang waved at the crowd.

"Everyone, let's head back—back to the Human Sect!"

Hearing this, everyone immediately perked up and lined up in a long queue behind him.

Leading the crowd, Chen Ang and the others returned to the first level of the Sin Prison.

When the sky grew dark, they arrived.

Seeing people still coming and going on the street, Wan Shitong tugged on Chen Ang's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Boss, there are still quite a few people here. Should we wait a while?"

As soon as he said this, Huang Xiaoyao, who was nearby, frowned.

"Wait? Why wait?"

After sighing, Wan Shitong spoke of the feud between their Human Sect and the Demon Sect.

Hearing these words, Huang Xiaoyao's frown deepened.

"Sect Leader, although we have a feud with the Demon Sect, this is not their territory. We should be able to move freely; why must we yield to them? If we really fight, the Demon Sect might not necessarily be our match!"

"I know. Before, there were many things going on, and I didn't want to create extra complications, so I avoided them as much as possible. Now, I have plenty of time to fight them, so there's no need to hide. You're right; this Sin Prison is not theirs, and we don't need to be like this!"

Seeing his stern expression, Huang Xiaoyao nodded in agreement.

"Sect Leader, if the Demon Sect really dares to make a move, we will root them out just like the Tree-Man Sect! There are people from three clans standing here now; I don't believe the Demon Sect can deal with all three clans at once!"

"That's right. There are experts from three clans here now. If the Demon Sect dares to act rashly, we will make them disappear completely!"

An Xinyi said this with great passion, drawing agreement from many others.

Seeing them nodding repeatedly, Chen Ang laughed softly.

"Since everyone is so confident, then we shall return openly and use our actions to tell the Demon Sect that this place should be the world of our Human Sect!"

After his voice fell, Chen Ang strode forward.

Seeing his tall, straight back, the others also straightened their backs and followed, their footsteps as firm as if they were heading to a battlefield, striding toward the direction of the Human Sect.

As they turned a corner, a figure emerged from the shadows.

Having sensed no aura but seeing a person, Chen Ang was startled and subconsciously reached out to grab.

Just as his hand reached out, the person shifted their form and bowed before him.

Seeing the other party's action, Chen Ang quickly retreated, incidentally shielding the people behind him.

"Sect Leader, it's me."

A familiar voice came, making Chen Ang unable to help but frown.

"Li Lao, why are you here?"

"I sensed your aura, and I also sensed the aura of the Demon Sect, so I specifically stood guard here."

Hearing his words, Chen Ang breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to help him up.

"Li Lao, no need to worry. If we really fight, the Demon Sect is not our match."

"I know, but I didn't know if there were any wounded in your group. I was afraid someone might lose their life innocently, so I specifically stood guard here, wanting to give you a hand."

Understanding what he meant, Chen Ang said softly, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's no trouble, I just happened to catch up. Sect Leader, let's go back and talk. It's late now, so let's avoid any extra complications."

After nodding, the group walked back all the way.

Looking at the people of the Human Sect, a smile finally appeared on Li Lao's face, and even his tone carried a smile as he spoke.

Returning all the way to the Human Sect, Chen Ang let everyone sit down as they pleased, then said to Wan Shitong, "Go and call the others. Tell them our companions have returned and have them come to get acquainted."

"You got it, going now!"

After Wan Shitong left, Li Lao said, "Sect Leader, when there's an opportunity, let my people get to know everyone too. We are of the same clan; it's beneficial to be closer."

"Good, when there's an opportunity, everyone should interact more. In the future, if there's anything, we can help each other out."

"That is exactly what I meant."

As soon as Li Lao's voice fell, Teacher Xing Tian's door was opened from the inside.

Seeing him, Chen Ang's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurried to meet him.

"Master, you're home!"

Looking at his sparkling eyes, Teacher Xing Tian nodded with a smile.
