Chapter 105: Youmo Sect Suffers Heavy Casualties, City-Wide Manhunt

"It's actually Blue Demon poison?!"

Hearing this, Zhou Sui's pupils constricted. As a High-grade Alchemist, he was well-versed in all kinds of spirit medicines and poisons, so he naturally understood exactly what this was.

The so-called Blue Demon poison is made by using the blood of a Seven-Step Snake to irrigate nameless poisonous weeds growing in uninhabited, miasma-filled deep valleys. Once the weeds bloom with dark blue flowers, the flowers are fed to the highly venomous Seven-Step Snake. The two poisons clash and the toxins backfire, causing the snake's body to turn entirely blue. After cutting the snake's tail and discarding the first two drops of blood, the next three drops are collected to coat needles. The silver needles extract the toxin, which turns dark blue and carries the demonic aura of the Seven-Step Snake, hence the name Blue Demon.

The toxicity of Blue Demon is fierce and not "gentle." Those poisoned are shrouded in a dark blue glow; when the blue color spreads to the head, the poison enters the brain, and the victim dies instantly from blood rupture.

The only reason Leng Yuexi is still alive now is that she has many spirit medicines assisting her, combined with her Foundation Establishment cultivation to forcibly suppress the toxicity; otherwise, she would have long since died from the poison.

It would have been impossible to live until today.

Yet even so, she cannot hold on for much longer.

"How exactly did you get poisoned?"

Zhou Sui asked.

"It was merely a despicable tactic by the Youmo Sect."

Leng Yuexi clenched her fists.

She explained that on that day, at the Xuanbao Pavilion auction in Miyun City, after she purchased a Jiedan Spiritual Object, she had intended to return to the Xianxia Sect to prepare for her Golden Core formation.

Who could have imagined that it was actually a trap.

The so-called Jiedan Spiritual Object was intentionally placed at the Xuanbao Pavilion auction by the Youmo Sect for the sole purpose of luring her out.

Then they ambushed her in Miyun City.

At the time, she was anxious to form her Golden Core and did not think much of it, resulting in her falling for the Youmo Sect's scheme.

She was ambushed by five or six Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.

The two sides fought outside the city, the battle raging until the sky turned dark.

Fortunately, she still had Treasures and many Talismans to protect her, so she managed to escape with her life.

But even so, she was still struck by the Youmo Sect's Blue Demon poison.

To purge the poison, she had no choice but to remain in Miyun City.

It is a pity that even after more than two years, she still has no way to remove the toxins from her body.

Instead, as time passed, the toxins became increasingly fierce.

If she cannot find a solution, she will surely die from the poison.

Due to the depth of the poisoning, even if she returned to the Xianxia Sect, she might not be able to find a way to detoxify.

Even if she truly found one, because the poisoning has lasted so long, it might damage her foundation, leaving her with no hope of ever forming a Golden Core.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the two Golden Core Ancestors of the Xianxia Sect were unwilling to risk saving her.

After all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator without value is not worth the Xianxia Sect taking such a great risk.

Even though Leng Yuexi was once the Saintess of the Xianxia Sect.

Once she fell from grace, she was no longer favored.

"That is the situation. Even if you truly save me, given my current cultivation, I may not be able to find a Foundation Establishment Pill for you," Leng Yuexi looked at Zhou Sui very seriously.

She had originally wanted to hide her situation.

After all, if she really spoke of it, she would have no utility value and would likely be abandoned.

But for some reason, she just did not want to lie in front of this man.

"So that's how it is. That is easy to handle; we just need to resolve the poison on Senior Leng, right?"

Zhou Sui stroked his chin, indicating he understood the general situation.

If it is only this, once he refines a Gu Insect capable of detoxifying, he can solve Leng Yuexi's problem, and by then, he might gain a Foundation Establishment fighter.

Regardless, this is a profitable deal.

"Did you not hear clearly what I said? I am poisoned by Blue Demon, a poison that even the Alchemists of the Xianxia Sect cannot resolve. Even if I return to the Xianxia Sect, I am beyond saving."

"If you waste your effort, it will only be in vain."

Leng Yuexi could not help but say.

"It doesn't matter. The people I, Zhou Sui, want to save, even the God of Death cannot snatch away."

"Leave the poison in your body to me to resolve."

Zhou Sui looked at Leng Yuexi very seriously.

"Hmph, suit yourself then."

Hearing this, Leng Yuexi felt a warmth in her heart. Although he is a scumbag with three Dao Companions, he is unwilling to give up on her even knowing her situation; he must be a good person.

However, she was still a bit stubborn.

…………

At this very moment, in Miyun City, the Foundation Establishment battle had finally ended.

The desperate struggle of the Lu Family Ancestor, Lu Hongran, caused massive damage to the Youmo Sect.

The shockwaves of the battle alone killed dozens of Qi Refining disciples.

Even his final strike before death killed two Foundation Establishment Early Stage demonic cultivators and severely wounded four others.

This caused the Youmo Sect to suffer heavy casualties, leaving the remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators furious.

"Damn that old ghost Lu, do you think that just because you're dead, this matter is over?"

"Don't dream. Pass on my order: capture every member of the Lu Family. I want the Lu Family wiped out to the ninth generation."

A Foundation Establishment Elder of the Youmo Sect was enraged, absolutely furious.

They could have occupied Miyun City without loss and won a glorious victory.

But who could have imagined that Lu Hongran would be so reckless, dragging several people down with him even in death.

The result was that out of six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, two died and four were severely wounded.

A great victory had instantly turned into a pyrrhic one.

Although Lu Hongran was already dead, the descendants of the Lu Family were not yet dead, so they immediately became the targets of their revenge.

Numerous Youmo Sect Cultivators immediately set out and began searching for the remaining Lu Family descendants.

Every one of them swore to skin them alive and pull out their tendons, making them wish they were dead.

"Right, that woman, that Xianxia Sect Young Sect Master Leng Yuexi, has she been found?"

At this moment, a Foundation Establishment Elder immediately asked.

After all, they had expended a huge price to breach Miyun City, and their primary goal was to capture Leng Yuexi alive.

If Leng Yuexi were to escape, then their plan this time would truly be completely ruined.

"Reporting to the Elder, there are simply too many people in Miyun City, and that Leng Yuexi has deliberately hidden herself and has not appeared at all; we currently cannot find her whereabouts."

A Youmo Sect Disciple said immediately, feeling cold sweat trickle down, fearing that the Elder would consider them incompetent, in which case they would likely face punishment.

"Hidden? Miyun City is only this big, where else could she hide? She must be hiding somewhere in Miyun City."

"You do not need to worry about that woman; although that woman is a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she has been struck by our Youmo Sect's Blue Demon Poison, so she is undoubtedly doomed to die, with less than one-tenth of her strength remaining, not even comparable to a Qi Refining Late Stage Cultivator."

"Conduct a carpet search immediately; I want to see that woman's figure before tonight."

The Foundation Establishment Elder issued the order.

"Yes, Elder."

Hearing this, the numerous Youmo Sect Disciples began to take action, completely surrounding Miyun City to conduct a carpet search, hoping to find the whereabouts of Leng Yuexi.

Unfortunately, they did not know that Leng Yuexi had long been hiding hundreds of meters underground.

No matter how they searched, they were unable to find any trace of her.
