Chapter 2139: Elder Poisoning

The five Martial Cultivators of the Spirit Clan all reside in Chengzhu Fu.

When Ye Liuyun approached, they were drinking and chatting.

They usually focus on cultivation within the Spirit Clan and rarely get a chance to relax.

After coming out, the conditions were not suitable for cultivation, so they simply drank while figuring out how to deal with Ye Liuyun.

"Ye Liuyun may not be terrifying, but the Dragon Clan and those strong ones are truly a nuisance."

"The two Ninth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators the Dragon Clan sent, I already knew them; they're quite formidable!"

"Indeed! And that Red Luan Pavilion actually has so many experts! I have no idea who the mastermind behind this faction is…"

Ye Liuyun listened to their talk for a while, and his Divine Sense swept through the entire Chengzhu Fu.

Soon, he discovered someone busy in the kitchen.

Ye Liuyun immediately went over and launched a Spiritual Soul Attack on a dish‑delivering maid.

He now has experience and knows that ordinary Martial Cultivators of the Spirit Clan have Token power that is almost entirely supplied by Ninth Layer Mid Stage Martial Cultivators.

Only elite disciples have some Token power infused with attacks from Ninth Layer Late Stage strong ones.

For ordinary people, at most the Token contains power input from Ninth Realm Martial Cultivators.

Some even have power input from Eighth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivators.

Sure enough, the Divine Soul Power protecting that maid is only that of an Eighth Layer Late Stage Martial Cultivator.

Thus it was easily eliminated by Ye Liuyun.

After Ye Liuyun placed a Slave Seal on the maid, he understood the situation; indeed, they were preparing appetizers for those Elders.

Ye Liuyun had the maid pretend to excuse herself and then pulled her into the Space World.

Then he used Thousand Illusion Technique to assume the maid's appearance and stood outside the kitchen.

As soon as the dish was ready, he rushed forward to deliver it to those Elders.

Ye Liuyun intended to poison, but he wouldn't be foolish enough to put poison directly into the food, as the Martial Cultivators would easily detect it.

He would, while serving, blend the toxin into the air, allowing the Elders to absorb it slowly.

Although slow, it remains unnoticed by both Divine Sense and others.

When Ye Liuyun served the dish, he did so properly, with no unusual movement.

The Elders paid no attention; after the serving, he stepped back out and returned to the kitchen to continue waiting.

Then he went back in to serve the second course.

Shortly after he emerged, his Divine Sense detected that among those Elders, someone realized they were poisoned and was taking an antidote pill.

Ye Liuyun, seizing their panic, donned the Invisibility Cloak again and slipped back quietly.

"Someone! Bring me that maid who just delivered the dish."

"All the kitchen staff, seize them immediately and interrogate whether anyone poisoned!"

An Elder promptly ordered the disciples waiting outside.

When these disciples learned an Elder was poisoned, they were so frightened they dared not enter the room; after a quick assent, they rushed to capture people.

Soon, the disciples gathered everyone from the kitchen into the courtyard, except the maid who had delivered the dish.

Ye Liuyun, taking advantage of the chaos, walked straight into the room, getting closer to the five Elders.

His Golden Pupil noticed that two Elders were using antidote pills to suppress the toxicity.

Another two were also using both antidote pills and True Essence together to control the poison.

"Seems these Elders' pills still have some effect!"

Ye Liuyun thought to himself, while continuing to slowly release the toxin source.

"Where are the people?

Where is the dish‑delivering maid?"

An Elder shouted at the disciples.

Those who were seized trembled in fear, not knowing what had happened.

"Don't you hurry and search!"

Another Elder immediately ordered the disciples to search.

The Spirit Clan had never known who poisoned them; now with a clue, they naturally would not let it go.

These people were also taken down.

"Severe torture.

Must find that maid's whereabouts!"

Ye Liuyun did not want to implicate the maid.

He hurriedly asked her about the situation, only to find she had no living relatives, so there was no family to implicate.

Thus Ye Liuyun had her hand over her Spirit Clan Token, and she would thereafter assist Lan Xin in the Space World.

The Elders waited a while, originally thinking it would be over soon, but unexpectedly, after realizing they were poisoned, the situation changed.

"Huh?

Why does the toxicity seem to have intensified again?"

An Elder felt strange; he had already fully suppressed the toxicity, yet now it was re‑emerging.

He immediately produced another pill and swallowed it.

"Indeed! This poison keeps recurring, extremely fierce! I had it under control, but now it shows signs of being uncontrollable."

Another Elder said a line and then began to suppress the toxicity with all his might.

But with Ye Liuyun continuously releasing poison, they could not keep it suppressed.

All five of them focused entirely on countering the poison, and their Divine Sense perception was no longer as sharp as before.

Moreover, after Ye Liuyun's realm and Spatial Power increased, moving while wearing the Invisibility Cloak made him even more concealed.

Soon, an Elder could no longer hold on; his lips had already turned somewhat black.

They also gulped down antidote pills in large amounts, but the effect was negligible.

"Alas!"

Finally, an Elder let out a long sigh, took out a Transmission Talisman and reported the situation to the Spirit Clan Elders.

"We few are probably unable to cure the poison."

"Then let us make a final contribution for the Spirit Clan! We'll go to Kangning City, lure their experts out to fight, and let the toxin spread throughout Kangning City."

Someone among them suggested to the Spirit Clan Elder.

"Indeed! Even if we die, we shouldn't die in vain; we must drag their experts along to be buried with us!"

The others echoed.

After the Spirit Clan Elders received the news, they surprisingly also agreed.

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that these Spirit Clan Elders, even at death, would try to pull his people to serve as a shield.

He sneered inwardly: "These Spirit Clan Elders are truly ruthless! What a pity, you won't make it to Kangning City!"

These five Elders before him immediately summoned Spirit Clan disciples and instructed them: "We are poisoned, inform everyone, no one should approach us.

We will leave the city at once; you need not look after us any longer.

Continue to brutally interrogate those cooks.

Even if you mistakenly kill them, you must never release them lightly!"

Ye Liuyun coldly watched those five Elders.

At this moment, he no longer needed to release the poison source.

All five Elders were heavily poisoned, the toxin spreading rapidly within their bodies.

After the five gave orders to their disciples, they immediately burst out of the room, sprinted out of the city, and rushed toward Kangning City.

But as soon as they left the city, they instantly fell to the ground.

"Damn, once the True Essence circulates, the poison acts even faster!"

An Elder shouted in alarm.

"Puff!"

Another Elder spat out a mouthful of black blood.

At this moment, his internal organs have already begun to corrode.

"This poison is so powerful!"

He sighed, then immediately collapsed onto the ground.

His internal core pill has already been infected by the toxin and automatically sealed.

"You go ahead! I can't, I can't move!"

He said helplessly.

Without True Essence, he couldn't even reach Kangning City.
