Chapter 179: Tang San Discovers Immortal Herbs

"Then let's go to the scene and take a look first! See if there are any clues!" Tang San said.

"We should indeed go to the scene to take a look. Such a large family, wiped out overnight with no survivors—even if it really was the Spirit Hall, they would definitely have left some traces behind!" the Haotian Sect Grand Elder said.

However, the Haotian Sect Grand Elder was truly afraid in his heart now.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, a power equal to the Clear Sky Sect, was gone overnight.

No matter which family this happened to, they would feel an invisible terror pressing down on their heads.

People are often more prone to fear when it comes to the unknown!

Ever since retreating last time, the Haotian Sect Grand Elder had kept a much lower profile and dared not be arrogant anymore.

Thinking back to what Jerry said, he felt more and more that it was true.

Because Jerry had absolutely no need to lie to him; his own strength was so formidable that he was not afraid of him at all.

The Clear Sky Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen, had likely truly fallen.

He understood in his heart that the Spirit Hall of the past could have wiped out the Clear Sky Sect directly, but they had left the Clear Sky Sect a way to survive only because they were wary of the ancestor, Tang Chen.

He had survived the battles of those years, and he still clearly remembered how tragic the fighting had been.

The Spirit Hall was already very powerful back then, and the current Spirit Hall was definitely more than a hundred times stronger than before.

Perhaps it was the many years of recuperation and the fact that the Spirit Hall had not caused trouble that made them forget the power of the Spirit Hall. Many disciples of the Clear Sky Sect thought the same: that once the ancestor returned, it would be the day the Clear Sky Sect rose again.

Yet Jerry had told him that the ancestor had already fallen.

Years of faith, years of persistence—they might all collapse in an instant!

Therefore, after retreating, he arranged to seal off some information.

Emperor Xue Beng had the same intention; he was also afraid that if the news got out, it would affect his imperial throne!

So the two hit it off and joined forces to seal off all the news.

It was precisely because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family did not know this news that they had the courage to confront the Spirit Hall!

It could be said that the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had a lot to do with them sealing off the news.

Afterwards, the group collectively arrived at the residence of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

But the scene left everyone very disappointed; not a single trace of battle was found at the site.

Yet it was absolutely impossible that there had been no battle; the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was not a family without backbone, and they would definitely have resisted.

That made it even more terrifying: the Spirit Hall wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family overnight, then tidied up the battlefield, and even restored the battlefield to how it was before the fight.

When they left, they even took all the savings the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had accumulated over so many years.

If it weren't for the rows of corpses placed on the plaza, it would look more like the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had gone out on an excursion.

Just as Xue Beng was preparing to lead people up to examine the corpses, they were stopped by guards who had arrived here earlier.

"Your Majesty, you cannot go any further. These corpses are poisonous. Our men didn't know before and went up to examine the corpses; they were poisoned directly and died on the spot. There was no time to save them at all!" the guard reported.

Hearing the guard say this, Xue Beng stepped back a few paces; he didn't want to get close to such potent poison!

Hearing the word "poison," Tang San became interested. What kind of poison could be better than the poisons of the Tang Sect!

"Your Majesty, I am skilled in using poison. Let me go take a look," Tang San said.

"Tang San, then you must be careful!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, Tang San came to the side of the corpses and directly used his Mysterious Jade Hand to start examining them!

Cold poison, fire poison—very strong toxicity!

Suddenly, Tang San thought of something: Immortal Herb!

This world has Immortal Herbs!

That's right, the aura of this cold poison and fire poison.

"Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass."

"Blazing Apricot Delicate."

And judging from the aura left behind, this toxicity was very strong, so the age of the Immortal Herbs must be very high!

If one consumed both Immortal Herbs at the same time, they could directly become immune to the three attributes of ice, fire, and poison!

The Spirit Hall has Immortal Herbs!

They only used them as poison; it seems the people in the Spirit Hall don't know the method for consuming Immortal Herbs either!

That proves that if the Spirit Hall is overthrown, he would have the opportunity to obtain the Immortal Herbs!

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Tang San's face!

Then Tang San suppressed the excitement in his heart and returned to the side of Emperor Xue Beng.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated clearly. It is all poisoning, deadly poison!" Tang San said.

"Can you develop an antidote?" Xue Beng asked.

"No. This poison is a combination of two very precious poisonous herbs. Even if you take just one of these two poisons, it would be incurable, let alone a combination of the two," Tang San replied.

"Poisonous herbs! Chrysanthemum Douluo! It was Chrysanthemum Douluo who made a move!" the Haotian Sect Grand Elder exclaimed.

"It's not necessarily Chrysanthemum Douluo!" Tang San said.

"No, it is Chrysanthemum Douluo. The only person in the Spirit Hall who has research on poisonous herbs is Chrysanthemum Douluo. It must be him; the poisonous herbs were all cultivated by him!" the Haotian Sect Grand Elder said.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, is it?" Tang San secretly noted it down in his heart!

"Even if you say they are poisonous herbs, the range of this poison is a bit too large, isn't it! It's impossible for so many people to have stayed together," Prince Xuexing said.

"Hmm, even for these two poisonous herbs, the range of poison they can release is limited!" This point made Tang San a bit puzzled. Suddenly, Tang San's eyes lit up: the Spirit Hall doesn't just have two Immortal Herbs; could it be that the Spirit Hall has mass-cultivated Immortal Herbs!

"Report! Your Majesty, I have inquired through passersby outside. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had an operation before and went to the Sunset Forest. My subordinate has already inquired clearly: the Poison Douluo's medicinal garden has now been occupied by the Spirit Hall. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family went there to negotiate with the Spirit Hall, and as a result, no one has returned to this day!" the scout reported.

The Poison Douluo's medicinal garden? Why would the Poison Douluo place his medicinal garden in the Sunset Forest?

Unless that place is a special location that cannot be relocated.

After the Spirit Hall captured the Poison Douluo, they also occupied that place. Unless there is something there that greatly attracts the Spirit Hall, they would not spend such a great price to occupy a region of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Immortal Herb! San Da Bao Di!

Tang San now feels his train of thought is incomparably clear!

San Da Bao Di, cultivating Immortal Herbs!

It seems the Spirit Hall really has someone who understands plants; although their method of use is poison, Tang San also has to admit the Spirit Hall's cultivation ability.

Even if he had the San Da Bao Di, wanting to cultivate a single Immortal Herb would still take a very, very long time!

"Emperor, I feel that the Spirit Hall occupying the Heaven Dou Empire's territory without authorization is a crime punishable by death, so I suggest directly sending people to blockade the Sunset Forest and wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Tang San suggested to Xue Beng.

Hearing Tang San speak of wiping out the people of the Spirit Hall in one fell swoop, Xue Beng and the Haotian Sect Grand Elder looked at each other and could not help but tremble.

"Tang San! We shall discuss the matter of wiping them out later! You also heard that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family previously sent people to the Sunset Forest, and not one returned; that must have been because a battle occurred. Could it be that it was because of this matter that they provoked the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall then wiped out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!" Xue Beng said.

"Emperor, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was wiped out because of this matter, then we should go take a look even more, to see what secret is inside that is worth the Spirit Hall taking action to wipe out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family." Tang San said.

"Although that is the logic, I feel it is better not to provoke the Spirit Hall if we can avoid it!" Xue Beng said.

"Emperor, if my guess is not wrong, the Sunset Forest should be the place where poisonous herbs are cultivated. If we can obtain this place and cultivate poisonous herbs in large quantities, then on the battlefield, who else would be the Empire's opponent? These are poisonous herbs that can even poison a Spirit Douluo, and as for a Title Douluo, I feel they might not necessarily be able to withstand these poisonous herbs either, so Emperor, you must think carefully!" Tang San could not care about that much anymore; he had to persuade Xue Beng to order an attack, as only then could he obtain the Immortal Herbs inside.

"Even if it is a place for cultivating poisonous herbs inside, so what! It is just a region within the forest; to the Empire, it is not worth mentioning! Moreover, using poison on the battlefield is the behavior of a villain, and I do not disdain to use it. Besides, after the Spirit Hall finishes cultivating the poisonous herbs, they will naturally retreat! So why go to such great lengths! Wouldn't you say so! Grand Elder!" Xue Beng was also afraid of Tang San pestering him further, so he directly pulled the Haotian Sect Grand Elder into the conversation.

"Correct, the Emperor is right! It is indeed not worth making an enemy of the Spirit Hall for a region inside the forest!" the Haotian Sect Grand Elder said.

Tang San was dumbfounded; how did the Grand Elder and the Emperor, who used to support him so much, seem to have changed? In the past, they were very willing to target the Spirit Hall, so why are they afraid to take action now that they hear the Spirit Hall mentioned!

"The Grand Elder is right; the war only just ended not long ago, so it is indeed not suitable to fight again!" Xue Beng said.

"Emperor, then are we not going to do anything about the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's matter!" Tang San pressed.

"You just heard it too; it was the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family who sent people to the Sunset Forest first. It only shows that their strength was insufficient, and they provoked an enemy they could not afford to offend, resulting in their clan being wiped out; that is also their own reason, and it has nothing to do with the Empire. I must be responsible for the entire Empire, not launch a war just for one single family!" Xue Beng explained.

"The Emperor is wise! The Emperor loves the people as his own children! If the commoners knew that the Emperor was considering things for them, they would all be very happy!" the Haotian Sect Grand Elder said.
