Chapter 3107

Just after swallowing a single cup of wine, the three from Yaowang Immortal City felt their heads swimming.

Almost without the slightest hesitation, the three immediately locked their target onto Qi Xiong and his companions.

Being inside the Dao One Immortal Sect, they suddenly got poisoned—who could have administered the poison? It's hard to guess, isn't it?

The leader, trembling, pointed at Qi Xiong and shouted through gritted teeth with all his might.

"Qi Xiong, you…… you are despicable."

In response, Qi Xiong wore a calm expression and said.

"I have no choice either; worldly treasures go to those who are capable—each according to their ability."

"You…… I'm really a damn fool for actually believing your Dao One Immortal Sect."

Feeling his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, at the very moment before losing consciousness, this man from Yaowang Immortal City cursed angrily.

As his words fell, the three all saw darkness before their eyes and thumped to the ground.

Seeing this, Qi Xiong turned his head to look at Hong Zun and said.

"Will this medicine work?"

"Rest assured, they won't wake up for three or five days."

Hearing that, Hong Zun replied confidently, this medicine was specially obtained by him from Xu Jie; this kid has studied plenty of those oddball methods lately.

As for the medicine's efficacy, Hong Zun remains confident; after all, when it comes to underhanded tricks, Xu Jie really hasn't let him down.

Seeing Hong Zun's confident look, Qi Xiong also nodded in relief.

"Three to five days is enough; if even Mu You can't handle that immortal herb in that time, it can only mean he himself is useless."

"You've bought yourself this time; if you still can't secure the immortal herb after such a stretch, having it snatched by Yaowang Immortal City would be deserved, and the blame lies only with your own lack of ability."

"As for the bottom line, they still have one."

Then they carried the three from Yaowang Immortal City into a room; naturally they couldn't let them just sleep out in the open like that—it wouldn't be the Dao One Immortal Sect's way of hospitality, it would be impolite.

This dong fu was originally prepared for them; during their stupor, the three temporarily stayed here.

As for other matters, Dao One Immortal Sect disciples naturally attended to them, so nothing unexpected would happen—it was just like a normal sleep.

After settling the three, Qi Xiong and the others then left; as for Chen Xiang, nobody showed up.

They've known about this from start to finish, but since they aren't pill masters and can't do much, it's always been Mu You who's handled it.

Now only the final twitch remains; naturally it also depends on Mu You's own ability.

Anyway, the person has already been held up for him; there's plenty of time.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiang, accompanied by Mu You, a host of pill hall disciples, and the elders, strolled around the Dao One Immortal Sect.

Along the way, the many pill hall disciples were extremely enthusiastic, describing the Dao One Immortal Sect as nothing short of heavenly.

But the more enthusiastic the disciples were, the less confident Chen Xiang felt inside.

Although it had only recently entered the human realm, it still didn't understand the twists and turns of humanity.

But as an immortal herb born of heaven and earth's creation, it naturally possesses an instinct to sense danger.

So even if it couldn't say what was wrong with what those pill hall disciples were saying, its intuition told it these people weren't good.

Thus, even though the pill hall disciples were extremely enthusiastic toward it, Chen Xiang remained fully on guard, with no intention of relaxing.

Moreover, regarding joining the Dao One Immortal Sect, Chen Xiang was even more hesitant, wavering to the extreme.

Until they had toured every place worth seeing within the Dao One Immortal Sect, Mu You then spoke up.

"How is it? My Dao One Immortal Sect is a proper orthodox sect, after all—you can't let outsiders spout nonsense."

Hearing that, Chen Xiang fell silent, and after a long while spoke softly.

"But outsiders have said that if a sect truly conducts itself uprightly, it wouldn't constantly flaunt the label 'proper orthodox sect,' since everyone already knows it is such; it's only the evil sects and demonic cultivators who keep shouting that label."

That remark was indeed something Chen Xiang had heard on the street; he'd always thought it made sense, just like a good person doesn't need to proclaim it—everyone around knows.

Whereas a bad person, even when he does wrong, can always find excuses to paint himself as a victim; only when he has no choice does he become so despicable.

But upon hearing that, Mu You immediately shouted angrily.

"Nonsense, who told you that? And when did I ever say my Dao One Immortal Sect is a proper orthodox sect? Whether my Dao One Immortal Sect is proper or not, do I need to say it? You decide for yourselves."

Saying this, Mu You still wore an indignant expression as he asked the people present.

Hearing that, the many pill hall disciples all spoke up.

"It's proper, how could it not be."

"In this immortal realm, my Dao One Immortal Sect is the most proper sect; who has my Dao One Immortal Sect's propriety?"

"Exactly, the hall master is right; whether my Dao One Immortal Sect is proper or not, do we need to say it? Everyone in the world knows."

"My Dao One Immortal Sect has already become proper to the point of deviating."

Seeing everyone in a state of fervent excitement, Chen Xiang weakly said a line.

"Look at you now—every sentence you utter is inseparable from the phrase 'proper orthodox sect'; where haven't you said it?"

"Huh???"

Upon hearing that, the many pill hall disciples who had originally been shouting turned their gazes toward Chen Xiang.

They already knew this person's identity, and Mu You had also secretly sent them a voice transmission earlier.

They must seize this Chen Xiang for their pill hall; otherwise, not only would they suffer a loss of profit, but in the future their pill hall might not even be able to hold its head up within the sect.

After all, Qi Xiong's side has already succeeded; if we were to slip up now, wouldn't that just give them something to laugh at?

Therefore, Mu You issued a death order.

At this moment, hearing Chen Xiang's question, many disciples grew anxious.

One disciple's eyes flickered with a faint gloomy light as he secretly sent a voice transmission.

"Senior brother, this thing seems impervious to both soft and hard approaches."

"Then we might as well help it for now; we can slowly tame it later—after all, my pill hall has plenty of methods, so I'm not afraid it won't submit."

But the Hall Master said we have to make it willingly submit; we can't use force.

You don't know shit. If you want to win someone over completely, do you know what the best way is?

What?

That is, first make it submit verbally; once its mouth gives in, its heart will follow sooner or later.

This……

The disciples were secretly whispering, but Chenxiang could clearly feel that everyone's gaze toward it had changed.

A chill rose from the soles of her feet, causing Chenxiang to step back involuntarily and speak weakly.

What do you want? Just now you said I could choose for myself, didn't you?

When I previously took it around the Sect, these Dan Hall disciples weren't like this; what they said back then was so pleasant.

Whether to stay or leave is entirely up to Chenxiang; they will never force her, and if she doesn't want to, she can leave at any time.

Their words still rang in my ears, but now this gaze feels off—looking at it sends a chill down one's spine.

Chenxiang was genuinely panicked, speaking weakly.
